The banquet lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening. Wen Xinya said goodbye to Aunt Zhou and left.
As soon as she walked out of the hotel, a chill invaded her whole body. She couldn't help but shiver, gathered the small shawl on her shoulders, exhaled lightly, breathed in the slightly cold night air, and felt a sense of comfort.
It was almost eleven o'clock, and most of the guests at the banquet had left. Only Wen Xinya was standing alone at the door, waiting for the driver Xiao Tao to pick her up.
At this time, a black business car slowly stopped beside her. The black car window slowly lowered, revealing Ning Shuqian's gentle face: "Xinya, has the car that came to pick you up not arrived yet? Why not take my car! I'll take you home."
Wen Xinya said calmly: "Don't bother Aunt Ning, it's not on the way."
Ning Shuqian pretended to be concerned and said, "I'll take you back to the Wen family's old house first, and then go back. You see it's so late, it's not safe for you to stand on the roadside alone."
Wen Xinya still smiled and shook her head: "I'd better take a taxi! It's quite convenient."
She didn't dare to get into Ning Shuqian's car. Although she knew that Ning Shuqian would not be so foolish as to joke with her life, Ning Shuqian was always cunning, so it was better for her to be cautious.
Ning Shuqian had no choice but to say, "Then I'll leave first."
Wen Xinya nodded and watched Ning Shuqian's car drive away little by little, leaving behind a long line of car exhaust fumes with an unpleasant smell of gasoline.
Wen Xinya dared to guarantee that Ning Shuqian definitely did it on purpose.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stomped her feet hard.
A black Aston Martin limited edition custom-made luxury car slowly stopped beside her. She remembered that this model was a new model officially released by Aston Martin not long ago. It was sold by invitation only and was limited to 100 units worldwide. It was specially tailored for those wealthy car lovers.
The car door opened, and Si Yiyan got out of the car, walked around the car and opened the door for her: "Get in! It's a bit cold outside, be careful not to get sick."
"Si Yiyan, why is it you?" Wen Xinya was stunned. Looking at him wearing black casual clothes and trousers, and exuding a leisurely and lazy aura, she knew that he came specially to pick her up.
Si Yiyan walked up to her and said with a smile: "Why, are you surprised?"
Wen Xinya nodded and shook her head and said, "It's really unexpected, but you've always been elusive, so when I think about it this way, it seems natural."
Her answer amused Si Yiyan, who couldn't help laughing and said, "If I hadn't come, you would probably have to take a taxi home today." He then changed the subject, looked her up and down and said, "Are you sure that it wouldn't be a safety hazard for a pretty girl like you to take a taxi so late at night?"
"My driver will be here to pick me up in a while." Wen Xinya frowned. Ever since she was kidnapped while taking a taxi before, she was indeed a little scared of taking taxis. So whenever she went out and could ask Xiao Tao to pick her up, she would never take a taxi.
"Your driver, Xiao Tao, was ambushed by someone and is now lying in a coma in the hospital. Don't you even know to make a phone call to confirm whether he will come to pick you up?" She took a step back and Si Yiyan took a step forward, his aura becoming more and more overwhelming.
"Xiao Tao has always been conscientious and responsible, and has never wasted my time. Anyway, the banquet just ended, so I didn't call to ask. By the way... How is Xiao Tao? Nothing serious happened to him, right?" Wen Xinya swallowed her saliva. For the first time, she felt that Si Yiyan's aura was so domineering. When he approached her, he had an inexplicable aggressiveness that made her feel flustered.
When I was about to take another step back, I found that my back was already against the lamppost on the side of the road and I had nowhere to go.
Si Yiyan said calmly: "He was just hit by a club and fell unconscious. It's nothing serious."
Wen Xinya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Xiao Tao had suffered such an unjust disaster just to prevent him from coming to pick her up and take her back to the Wen family. Only Ning Shuqian could do such a thing: "It must have been that bitch Ning Shuqian who hired someone to do it."
Si Yiyan nodded, agreeing with her inference.
Wen Xinya thought of Ning Shuqian's slightly raised eyes just now, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth: "Ning Shuqian is crazy, right? She thought that she hit Xiao Tao with a club and prevented him from coming to pick me up. I can only wait on the roadside like a fool. There are taxis everywhere on the street. I can just wave my hand and go home."
Si Yiyan's relaxed and lazy temperament suddenly became fierce, and his whole body exuded an aggressive aggression ready to strike: "I think her purpose is not just this."
Just as Si Yiyan finished speaking, a group of people came over from the street corner. There were about five or six of them. They didn't look like ordinary thugs hanging around on the streets, but more like some powerful underworld forces.
Wen Xinya took a breath and said, "This is Ning Shuqian's real purpose."
As soon as those people saw Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan, they rushed over and started fighting without saying anything. It was clear that they were targeting them with preparation.
Si Yiyan's beautiful eyebrows were stained with cruelty and anger, and his handsome and clear face was covered with a layer of coldness. His thin lips were slightly pursed into a line with amazing awe. He pulled Wen Xinya behind him and said, "Stay by my side, don't leave even a step."
Wen Xinya looked at the situation in front of her and felt cold all over. A chill seemed to penetrate into her flesh and blood through her exposed skin. She couldn't help but shiver. She thought she was quite skilled, but it was good enough that she could deal with one or two of this group of people.
What would happen if... Si Yiyan didn't come to pick her up
Suddenly she didn't dare to think further.
Ning Shuqian actually used this method to deal with her.
"Si Yiyan, these people don't look simple. They must be very skilled. You have to be careful." Although she knew that Si Yiyan's skills must be first-rate, she still couldn't help but worry about him.
Si Yiyan turned around, kissed her gently on the lips, and whispered, "Don't worry, they are just a few clowns, I don't care about them."
Faced with the disaster, Wen Xinya forgot to care about Si Yiyan taking the opportunity to kiss her, and was filled with nervousness.
At this time, Si Yiyan had already kicked away a man who was rushing towards them with a fruit knife, twisted his hand to break another man who was punching him, tripped down a man who was rushing towards them relentlessly, and stepped on his ribs. The crisp sound of broken bones rang out eerily in the cold night.
But within just one minute, the six seemingly vicious men were all lying on the ground wailing.
From beginning to end, Si Yiyan did not let those people touch even a corner of her clothes. She guessed that if it were not for her safety, with Si Yiyan's skills, it would probably take less than a minute to deal with this group of people.
