"It's too quiet, the whole Luo House is too quiet." Gong Ou said indifferently, and his arms around her tightened.
"Quiet?" Shi Xiaonian listened inexplicably for a while, but didn't feel any difference from usual, "Isn't it always like this?"
It was quiet for most of the night, so how could there be any other sounds.
"No, it's not usually like this!"
Gong Ou said coldly.
"Isn't it usually like this?" Shi Xiaonian yawned, still very sleepy, and said softly, "Is it because Dr. Luo and my brother had a fight today, and no one dared to make a noise, so he seemed extra calm?"
She didn't feel any difference.
Gong Ou picked up his watch from the bedside table and turned on the night light, looked at the time, and said in a cold voice, "Every night at this time there is a ship passing by, but not today."
It's so quiet.
It was so quiet that you could barely hear the sound of water outside.
Shi Xiaonian looked at the time. It was 1 a.m., the time when sleep was deepest. She looked at Gong Ou in the dark with doubts on her face, "Don't you sleep at this time every night?"
You can also hear the sound of boats passing by.
"You were the one who turned around as soon as you heard the sound of the ship and had an uneasy sleep. It would be fine if I blocked your ears." Gong Ou said in a low voice, "But tonight, the ship did not pass by."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian's heart was shocked, it was actually her fault.
"You plug my ears at this time every night?" Shi Xiaonian was shocked. She didn't even know that he stayed awake in the middle of the night just to let her sleep more peacefully.
"Um."
Gong Ou opened the quilt and got off the bed, walked to the door, and then to the window. He opened the curtains a little, and the moonlight shone on his face, which was charming and handsome.
His face was wary.
"Gong Ou, are you thinking too much? Maybe the ship just won't pass by today." Shi Xiaonian said.
"Impossible! I went to check. I was going to use money to pay the boatman to prevent them from passing by here at night." Gong Ou said coldly.
"Then what?"
"Then the other party is a couple who work here to pick up tourists for lake tours. They live far away. They put their children to sleep every night and then punt over to wait for dawn." Gong Ou said while standing by the window, closing the curtains. Put it down.
"They don't want your money?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
"Yes! You said you can't get something for nothing and let the children look down on them. Damn, poverty brings great ambition!" Gong Ou snorted coldly, and Shi Xiaonian asked nervously, "Then what did you do to them?"
Gong Ou turned his eyes and glared at her, "Nonsense! I want you to know that you haven't come to me yet!"
It’s not like he didn’t know that she was soft-hearted, so how could he go against her
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was now more and more considerate of her.
"That's good, Gong Ou, don't think too much. Maybe the couple is too tired and wants to have a good night's rest."
Is he too sensitive
Just think so much about a ship not passing by.
"Don't you think there is very little water sound tonight?" Gong Ou stood there with a low voice.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian listened carefully. The more she listened, the more sleepiness disappeared from her eyes. In the end, she was completely awake.
There is really little water sound.
She remembered that there was a windmill nearby, and the water flowed from it into the lake, because the sound of gurgling water was heard from morning to night. The sound was not disturbing, small, soft, and comfortable. , so Xiaonian liked that sound very much.
But now, that sound is gone at all.
"Why is it so quiet?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou, feeling a little nervous inexplicably. The boat didn't pass by and the sound of water disappeared. This was too unusual.
Gong Ou walked to the bed, put his hand on her shoulder, and said calmly, "Don't be nervous yet, wake up Mr. Gong."
"Okay, it's charging next door."
Shi Xiaonian pressed a button on her bracelet, then got off the bed. Gong Ou picked up a coat and put it on her in the dark.
At this time, Mr. Gong pushed the door in from the outside and faced them, "Master, Mr. Gong."
"Mr. Gong, while you are here to protect Xiao Nian, I will go out and take a look!"
Gong Ou ordered in a cold voice and raised his legs to go out. Shi Xiaonian quickly took his hand and said worriedly, "I will go with you."
She now also feels that something is wrong with the entire Luo House.
"You stay here, lock the door, and don't open the door to anyone but me."
Gong Ou took her hand and walked resolutely outside.
Shi Xiaonian hurriedly wanted to follow but was stopped by Mr. Gong. Mr. Gong locked the door. Shi Xiaonian could only stay in the bedroom. She was a little anxious in the dark.
Is it okay for Miyao to go out alone
When Shi Xiaonian bit her lip, Mr. Gong felt the anxiety in her heart and comforted her, "Master, Mr. Gong will be fine."
"Um."
Shi Xiaonian nodded, still nervous.
Gong Ou walked out of the room alone. As soon as he walked out, he saw darkness outside. There was not even a small light left in the corridor. He heard some subtle footsteps coming downstairs, which was very sneaky.
Someone entered Luo's house.
Thief
Impossible, the thief couldn't silence the sound of the water.
I'm afraid things are worse than he imagined.
Gong Ou's eyes suddenly became cold, and he continued to walk forward, walked to Gong Yu's room, opened the door directly and went in. The door was unlocked.
Gong Yu was also a light sleeper. When he heard the voice, he immediately sat up and said, "Who?"
"It's me!" Gong Ou said coldly, "Get up immediately, someone broke in."
"who?"
Gong Yu quickly stood up from the bed and reached out to turn on the light, but Gong Ou blocked his hand. Gong Ou stood in front of him with a cold and wise voice, "If I guess correctly, it was sent by Lancaster." The killer is coming to kill us."
Lancaster never gave up on killing him.
"How did they know we were here?" Gong Yu frowned and suddenly realized, "It's Luo Lie. I had a quarrel with him, and he summoned the people from Lancaster. Is he crazy?"
For so many days, they had never used power to suppress others, and they had never brought any bodyguards in. As a result, Luo Lie provoked Lancaster.
He betrayed them!
Gong Yu stood there and almost wanted to curse.
"Now is not the time to discuss this. They are obviously planning to come and carry out assassinations. We have to fight back." Gong Ou said coldly, "If they can't fight, Shi Xiaonian will be fine!"
The most important thing is that Shi Xiaonian is fine.
"That's easy. I'll capture Luo Lie and take him as a hostage!"
Gong Yu said, without saying anything to Gong Ou, he walked out quietly.
The two parted ways.
Gong Yu walked towards Luo Lie's room.
Gong Ou walked toward the stairs, cautiously. Before he reached the stairs, a black figure rushed out from the potted plant and rushed towards him.
"boom."
A gunshot rang out in the silent Luo house.
The house was shaking.
In the bedroom, Shi Xiaonian was sitting on the bed when she suddenly heard a violent gunshot. She jumped up from the bed, looked at the door in shock, and ran over desperately.
How could there be gunshots
Will something happen to Gong Ou
In the darkness, her face was already pale, without any blood.
"Master, Mr. Gong asked you to stay."
Mr. Gong blocked her way with his burly and hard body.
"I'm worried that something will happen to Gong Ou, please let me out." Shi Xiaonian tried to push Mr. Gong away, but it was of no use. Mr. Gong stood there motionless, "Master, Mr. Gong asked you to stay here."
"Since you call me master, why don't you listen to me first?"
Shi Xiaonian said, feeling extremely anxious and biting her lip with her teeth. She was really worried about Gong Ou.
"Because I want to protect the master's safety." Mr. Gong said.
“…”
"Master, do you think you can protect Mr. Gong by going out now? Or will it cause trouble?" Mr. Gong asked, Shi Xiaonian stood there stiffly.
Yes, what can she do when she goes out? She can only cause trouble for Gong Ou.
"But I'm really worried about Gong Ou. I want to see if he's okay."
Why did gunshots ring out as soon as he went out? She had no idea what happened.
Shi Xiaonian pressed her head in pain. Every time, Gong Ou blocked everything for her, and never once did she shield him from the wind and rain. This feeling was really annoying.
"boom."
There was another gunshot outside, and the sound was so frightening.
Shi Xiaonian stood there with a pale face, staring at the closed door in front of her, her breathing getting faster and faster, "Nothing can happen to Gong Ou, nothing can happen to Gong Ou."
There were faint sounds of fighting outside.
Apart from these, there were no other sounds, no Gong Ou's voice, no screams of pain from someone being shot, no sound at all, which made Shi Xiaonian even more panicked.
She was worried that Gong Ou had been shot, and he didn't want her to worry, so he didn't even grunt.
"Mr. Palace, can you go out and take a look? Please."
Shi Xiaonian looked at Mr. Gong for help. As soon as she finished speaking, the door was knocked hard twice. Shi Xiaonian opened her eyes wide in horror. Mr. Gong immediately blocked her in front of her with his body.
"Shi Xiaonian, it's me, open the door."
Gong Ou's deep voice sounded outside.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian immediately rushed from behind Mr. Gong and opened the door without thinking. Gong Ou stood at the door panting, and the lights outside had been turned on.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him nervously, "Mong Ou, are you okay?"
She looked him up and down and saw a deep red bloodstain on the back of his hand. Her breathing suddenly stagnated. Gong Ou raised his hand, breathing heavily and tiredly, "It's okay, it's just a scratch."
"No other injuries?"
Shi Xiaonian's face was as white as paper.
"No."
"Don't lie to me." Don't lie to her.
"Really not, do you want me to take off your clothes for a checkup?" Gong Ou said when she saw her face turned pale, and reached out to untie her clothes.
Shi Xiaonian threw herself into his arms desperately, hugging her tightly, her heart still beating violently, "It's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay, it scared me to death, I thought that gun …” (To be continued)
