Chapter 212 Just Missed
Huo Sili's eyes turned red, but his face and lips turned pale in an instant.
He Xu, who had rushed over, carefully hid behind another big tree, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
Having been an assassin, He Xu naturally has excellent eyesight, and he saw everything clearly just now.
However, because he could see it very clearly, He Xu's first words to Huo Sili at this moment were nothing else.
Instead, he said, "Mr. Huo, let's go. Madam, as you can see, let's go back first. It's not safe here."
However, after saying this, Horstley didn't react at all.
He Xu couldn't help but rub his temples—his head ached.
"President Huo," He Xu said in a low voice.
Although the two large trees were some distance from the courtyard, as fellow assassins, a glance at the six burly men in the courtyard was enough to tell them their strength.
Especially... He Xu glanced at the holsters on the waists of the men and the equipment on their bodies.
The other side has more than just a handgun.
And AKs!
"..." He Xu's heart, which hadn't been racing when he lied to Carlos earlier, couldn't help but race now.
However, he shouted again, but it still didn't have the desired effect.
Horstley was like a statue.
It stood there, pitifully petrified behind the big tree.
He seemed unable to move, frozen in place, and appeared to be completely deaf to what was being said around him.
He Xu looked up, feeling like he was suffocating.
Helpless, unable to be called out, they could only look up at the sky and pray that the people in the courtyard wouldn't discover them.
After all, he knew that Huo Sili's combat strength had always been very high.
But this situation...
Including that young man from before, there are seven people on the other side.
Several firearms.
Although Horst also brought a gun, there were only two of them.
And most importantly, apart from that kid, the other six on the other side all seemed to be professionals.
If a real fight breaks out, their chances of winning are practically zero.
But there was nothing he could do; his master was stuck behind the tree like a statue, and he couldn't just run away on his own.
He Xu covered his mouth and sighed, then increased the pressure when massaging his temples.
Fortunately, there was still hope for Horstley.
"Let's go, go back."
Just as He Xu was on the verge of collapse, Huo Sili's voice came out.
Without hesitation, He Xu let Huo Sili go first, while he covered the rear.
The two returned safely to their car.
The car drove away discreetly.
But no matter how low-key you are, your voice will always be heard.
Someone noticed something unusual in the courtyard.
"When Brother Song came over just now, there was a car following behind him?"
He looked around as he spoke.
The people around had obviously heard the noise from the car over there.
One of them frowned, then immediately drew his gun. "I'll go check it out."
Inside the house, Jiang Qin and the others were having dinner.
Song Xinye inquired about Jiang Qin's recent situation, just as he always did on the messaging app.
Everything was normal and peaceful.
Until Aunt Zhou looked at Song Xinye.
"Miss, who is this gentleman?"
Jiang Qin didn't explain in detail earlier, so Aunt Zhou wasn't clear about the relationship between the two. She just assumed they were friends based on the situation and their interactions.
Aunt Zhou looked at the young man who was coming in for the first time, and then at Jiang Qin.
"Are you friends, or..."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Brother Song, he's my..." Jiang Qin thought for a moment and smiled, "My benefactor."
Aunt Zhou was slightly surprised, "Benefactor?"
Just as Jiang Qin was about to agree, Song Xinye smiled and looked at her.
"Qinqin, don't say that. If we're talking about benefactors, you're the one who should be my benefactor."
Aunt Zhou glanced at Song Xinye, then at Jiang Qin, her eyes filled with doubt and the prelude to Jiang Qin being brought together by an elder familiar to her.
Just then, Song Xinye looked at Aunt Zhou and corrected her with a smile, "Auntie, Qinqin and I are friends, very, very good friends. When I was little, Qinqin and her grandmother saved my life."
Hearing this, and meeting the man's gaze, Aunt Zhou's desire to say something somehow vanished.
She felt a strange unease, as if something was off, but upon closer inspection, she realized the other person was clearly smiling at her.
"I see." Aunt Zhou didn't dare ask any more questions and quickly nodded with a smile. "That's good, my friend, that's good."
Jiang Qin glanced at Aunt Zhou, then looked away and used serving chopsticks to put some food on Song Xinye's plate.
It's garlic-flavored pork ribs, which Song Xinye loves to eat.
Meanwhile, in the car, Huo Sili clutched his stomach, but his mind wasn't on food.
It was Jiang Qin, whom he had just witnessed smiling and agreeing with Song Xinye, leading him into the house.
Why is that person with her...? Has she fallen for him?
Clearly, Horstley arrived at the wrong time.
Because if he had stood behind the big tree earlier, he would have been able to see Jiang Qin's slightly protruding pregnant belly.
But we arrived too late and missed that view.
