Chapter 666: Chapter 663: Sharing the Sa Pillow
Wen Yuci’s eyes were fixed on the direction of the door, her consciousness growing blurrier by the mont, feeling as if she was about to fall into an endless abyss. Fu Yunshen hadn’t arrived yet.
As she was about to be dragged out of the room, Wen Yuci’s heart raced to her throat.
Just as Wen Yuci’s eyelids were heavy and about to close, with a bang, the door to the room was kicked open.
Hearing the sound of the vase shattering, Fu Yunshen arrived just in ti.
He was emanating a certain fierceness, as if he had co straight out of Hell like an Asura.
The man in black who had covered Wen Yuci’s mouth and nose saw Fu Yunshen coming and knew he couldn’t take Wen Yuci away. He imdiately pushed her hard forward.
Fu Yunshen took several large steps forward, and just as Wen Yuci was about to fall to the ground, he stretched out his arms to catch her.
By the ti he had placed Wen Yuci on the bed, the man in black had already left.
Fu Yunshen didn’t chase after him; he was preparing to check on Wen Yuci’s condition when he took a step and then froze.
The air was faintly filled with the scent of opium.
Fu Yunshen was all too familiar with this scent; he rembered vividly how years ago, he and his grandmother had been beaten half to death by people sent by the Wen family, his grandmother even losing her life trying to save him, and that the leader had that scent on him.
Nowadays, few people smoked opium, and since that incident, Fu Yunshen had etched that scent deep into his mory.
He sniffed and slled again.
The air still carried the familiar scent.
He hadn’t been mistaken.
It was the sa person who had led the attack that killed his grandmother.
Why would he be here?
After so many years, Fu Yunshen had been searching for that person, but it was like he had vanished from the world without a trace.
Wasn’t he with the Wen family?
Why did he want to kidnap Wen Yuci?
Fu Yunshen looked toward Wen Yuci on the bed, who, holding her forehead, was dazed. Seeing Fu Yunshen looking her way, she weakly asked, “Can you help get to the bathroom?”
Fu Yunshen helped Wen Yuci into the bathroom, where she kept slapping her face with cold water to wake herself up.
After nearly ten minutes, she finally beca a bit more alert.
Thinking back on what had happened, she was still frightened.
If Fu Yunshen hadn’t brought her back today, and she had co back alone, she might very well have been kidnapped!
Wen Yuci walked out of the restroom, intending to express her gratitude to Fu Yunshen, but upon exiting, she found him leaning against the wall of the bedroom, frowning deeply, his expression fraught with concern.
“Yunshen.”
Fu Yunshen raised his head to look at Wen Yuci. He pressed his lips tightly together and said, “That person was the leader of the group your father sent to kill my grandmother.”
Hearing Fu Yunshen’s words, Wen Yuci suddenly widened her eyes.
Her throat felt dry, and it took a long ti to find her voice, “Impossible!”
Although the man was masked, his physique and the aura he gave off were not familiar to her.
When her family was in its glory days, her father did keep henchn, but she knew and was familiar with those henchn.
A serious expression appeared on Wen Yuci’s clear and ethereal face, and in a slightly hoarse voice, she said, “Fu Yunshen, I heard from my mother that my dad indeed sent people to deal with you, but the person just now was definitely not one of my dad’s n!”
At this point, Wen Yuci suddenly felt an alarming thought.
After the shock, an unbelievable idea ca to mind.
Perhaps the person who killed Fu Yunshen’s grandmother years ago was not sent by her father at all?
Clearly, Wen Yuci thought of this possibility, and so had Fu Yunshen.
He had just said those things to see Wen Yuci’s reaction.
After all, she was sowhat familiar with the forr henchn of their Wen family.
“Among the thugs my dad used to keep, the forr head was called Uncle Liu. After my family fell, he went back to his hotown,” Wen Yuci said with trembling lashes, afraid that Fu Yunshen wouldn’t believe her. “If you don’t believe , we can go find Uncle Liu.”
Fu Yunshen nodded silently.
If the man smoking the dry pipe wasn’t sent by Father Wen, then the murderer who killed his grandmother was soone else!
Uncle Liu lived in the countryside of Z city, thousands of kiloters away from here.
Fu Yunshen booked a flight to Z city for the next day, and before leaving, he arranged for soone to protect Zhi Xia and Mother Wen.
Seeing his considerate actions, Wen Yuci felt sowhat touched.
Without any delay, the two set off for Z city the following day.
It took nearly five hours from Z city airport to Uncle Liu’s town.
By the ti they arrived, it had already grown dark.
“I checked the road conditions; from the town to the village, it’s all perilous mountain roads. It’s too dangerous to travel at night, so let’s find a place to rest for the night,” he said.
The town’s environnt wasn’t great, and only a few hotels were in sight.
After searching for quite so ti, they found a small hotel.
Wen Yuci glanced at the noble and aloof man, “Or we could just rest in the car for the night!”
Having traveled for a day, both of them looked sowhat fatigued.
Plus, with the muggy weather and their sweat, they needed to find a place to take a shower no matter what.
“Given the circumstances, we can’t be too picky,” Fu Yunshen went to the front desk and asked the owner to open two rooms.
The owner glanced at Fu Yunshen and Wen Yuci. The pair looked like deities from a painting—did they co to this remote town to have a secret rendezvous?
“We only have one double room left for tonight. If you want it, I’ll go through with the procedure for you. If not, you can try your luck elsewhere,” the owner said, adding, “To be honest, our hotel is considered the best one in town.”
Fu Yunshen looked at Wen Yuci, who bit her lower lip, “Then let’s take that one.”
Last ti, when she had been drugged and clung to him, he hadn’t taken advantage of her, which indicated that he was respecting her now.
After getting the room, the two walked up the stairs to the third floor.
The room was simplistic, but it had everything necessary.
Fu Yunshen let Wen Yuci use the shower first.
After she was done, she ca out wearing a set of silk pajamas, her long hair draping over her shoulders, her little face without makeup, blushing from the steam of the water.
“I’m finished showering; you can go now,” she said.
Fu Yunshen was smoking on the small balcony. Hearing Wen Yuci’s words, he nodded at her.
Wen Yuci sat on the edge of the bed, took out her phone, and sent a ssage to Zhi Xia.
Although the little girl wasn’t very affectionate with her yet, she would respond whenever Wen Yuci ssaged her.
But regretfully, the little girl had not yet called her mommy.
Of course, she hadn’t called Fu Yunshen daddy either.
Hearing the sound of water from the bathroom, Wen Yuci looked up at the bathroom and then hurried to the balcony.
Soon, Fu Yunshen ca out.
“Ci Ci, let’s go to sleep,” he said.
They both got into the sa bed, but they didn’t get very close to each other.
After a while, Wen Yuci still wasn’t asleep.
“If you don’t want to lie here with , I’ll go out on the balcony,” the man suddenly said, lifting the quilt and preparing to get up.
The next mont, his wrist was grasped by the woman’s slender fingers.
