Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 875: Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, cold beauty x killer 9

Master He's actions were indeed swift, and Shen Xi received the news the next day. After the matter was settled, Master He rushed to the Shen residence without stopping.

It happened that Shen Kan and Shen Xi's grandmother Si Kongying went out to the temple to worship Buddha on that day. Therefore, when Master He arrived, someone immediately informed Shen Xi.

In the reception hall, Shen Xi dismissed the servants around him. Seeing Master He's somewhat anxious look, he slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip leisurely.

"This is the finest Longjing tea shipped from Jiangnan. You should at least have a taste of it." Shen Xi said.

Master He had no mood to drink tea at this moment. He asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, where is he?"

Seeing him like this, Shen Xi sighed, put down his teacup, and said slowly: "Okay, I'll tell you. He is working for me now, and I will let him go to your place in a few days."

Master He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the whereabouts of his sweetheart.

Fortunately, it’s not in any dangerous place.

"What does it mean to work under you?" Master He asked puzzledly.

"He's the secret guard who protects me." Shen Xi replied.

"Someone like you, do you still need his protection?" Master He was a little puzzled.

Huai Jinghuan’s fighting ability is not low. The one who was sent to protect Shen Xi must be a top master in the organization.

However, everyone always has a filter for the one they love.

Xie Qi always felt that Shen Xi was weak and unable to take care of himself, and the same was true for Master He.

Shen Xi was accused of something for no reason, and he felt unhappy: "I've only been here for three or four days, how would I know about his previous situation? If you say anything more, I won't give him to you."

This threat really worked. Master He's momentum immediately wilted. "Come on, I'm just kidding. You know, I came here for so long just to find him."

Shen Xi naturally understood the friendship between them, so what he said just now was just a joke.

"I know. You go back first and wait for a few days. If you take him there directly, he might become suspicious." Shen Xi said.

Master He thought it made sense and said no more.

The ownership of the royal cloth shop is undoubtedly a piece of fat meat that everyone covets.

Ren Zhiyi didn't want this piece of fat meat to fall into the hands of other families, so he asked his concubine's family to take charge of the matter.

In order to ensure that this matter went smoothly, he bribed countless people.

However, before he could make much money from this, the ownership of the cloth shop was taken away by Shen Xi.

Although Ren Zhiyi did not pay too much money because the previous murder attempt was unsuccessful, he felt even worse when he saw that Shen Xi, who he thought was going to die, not only did not die but was living a better and better life.

Of course, there is more than one place in the underworld that charges money to kill people.

At the suggestion of his son Ren Kaiji, he used money to find some desperate criminals in the underworld.

As soon as he found the good guy, Shen Xi found out.

Wangcai floated in the air and said indignantly: "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, how could he do this?

After one assassination attempt failed, he actually wanted to arrange a second one. If this one doesn't succeed, there won't be a third or fourth one, right?"

Shen Xi stood in front of the window, quietly watching Xie Qi practicing sword outside.

Unlike Wangcai's indignation, he seemed exceptionally calm.

"In the eyes of such a person, only interests are his sons. Why bother to waste time talking to such a person?" Shen Xi thought to himself.

"Aren't I just afraid that he will hurt you, my brother?" Wangcai said with concern.

"With him here, no one can hurt me."

Shen Xi smiled slightly, his heart full of trust.

Wangcai looked at his brother's wonderful atmosphere which seemed to be filled with pink bubbles, and quietly retreated.

Xie Qi, who was standing under a tree practicing sword, seemed to have sensed something. He looked up and happened to meet Shen Xi's eyes.

"Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

The atmosphere between the two has always been so subtle and calm.

Most of the time, the subtle atmosphere was actively created by Shen Xi, while the calmness was brought by Xie Qi.

One is trying hard to hint, the other is trying hard not to understand.

Shen Xi looked at the favorability progress bar that had not changed for three to five days, and realized that this could not go on any longer. He had to break this balance.

“Xixi, your grandfather went to Nanshan Temple to make a wish a few days ago, and the business of the Royal Cloth Shop also fell into the hands of the Shen family a few days ago.

Maybe it’s the Buddha’s blessing that nothing happens today.

Xixi, please fulfill your grandfather's wish."

Shen Xi was worried that he couldn't find an opportunity to break this balance, and now the opportunity has come.

These days, Shen Xi is either in the shop or at home.

The people arranged by Ren Zhiyi never found an opportunity to assassinate him.

And now, Shen Xi has to help them create this opportunity.

"Where are you going today?"

When they went out, Xie Qi didn't ask a single question and just followed him.

I watched the carriage drive out of the city, then I became curious and asked.

Shen Xi didn't feel the need to hide anything, so he told him directly.

The weather is gradually turning to winter now, and it is much colder than before.

Fortunately, both of them were wearing fox fur coats which were very warm, so even without a heater, they were not too cold when sitting in the carriage.

The carriage slowly drove out of the city, and the scenery on both sides of the road gradually became desolate. Shen Xi sat in the carriage, looking calm, as if he was unaware of the impending danger. Xie Qi sat opposite him, his eyes were sharp, and he was always alert.

The carriage had been driving for a while when suddenly there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds coming from the front. Xie Qi immediately became alert and whispered to Shen Xi, "Be careful, something is happening."

Before he finished speaking, a group of masked men in black rushed out from the woods beside the road and quickly surrounded the carriage. These people were the desperate criminals hired by Ren Zhiyi. They held sharp blades and had fierce eyes, and were obviously coming for Shen Xi.

Seeing this, the coachman turned pale with fright and hurriedly pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped suddenly.

Xie Qi quickly stood up, stood in front of Shen Xi, and whispered, "Stay in the car, don't come out."

Shen Xi felt warm in his heart as he looked at the fool in front of him who stood in front of him without hesitation.

He nodded obediently and replied softly, "Okay."

However, those men in black were clearly well prepared. They were well-trained and coordinated, and although Xie Qi was highly skilled in martial arts, he gradually felt overwhelmed when facing so many enemies.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, one of the men in black suddenly threw a dart from his sleeve and rushed towards the carriage. Seeing this, Xie Qi's heart tightened and he quickly swung his sword to block the dart, but this distraction allowed the other men in black to find a flaw.

Several men in black took the opportunity to pounce on the carriage. The driver was so frightened that he jumped out of the carriage to escape.

The man in black swung his knife at the carriage, and the carriage was instantly split open, with wood chips flying everywhere.

Shen Xi saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately jumped out of the carriage and landed steadily on the ground. Although he was a martial arts expert, in order not to reveal his strength, he pretended to be panicked and staggered back a few steps.

When Xie Qi saw this, his face turned dark.

The sword flew in his hand, and he soon dealt with the remaining enemies.

Because some people, seeing that the situation was hopeless, just fled on their own.

Xie Qi returned to his side only after he was sure it was safe.

After wiping the sword clean, he put it back into the scabbard.

"Master Shen, are you okay?"

Shen Xi sat on the ground, his white robe stained with a little gray due to the wet soil.

He looked aggrieved and put his hands around his ankles.

"I sprained my ankle and it hurts a little. I can't seem to walk anymore."

The driver, who had been driving just now, hid in a bush not far away from the beginning of the battle.

Where had he ever seen such a scene?

Although Shen Xi is his master, when encountering such a thing, he still thinks that saving his life is more important.

It is only now slowly coming out.

Shen Xi seemed to be a little afraid of Xie Qi, who was not romantic, and would ask the coachman to support him.

She immediately grabbed his sleeve with her other hand.

"Xie Qi, this place is not far from Nanshan Temple. Can you carry me there?"
