Chapter 38 Don't Leave Tonight
Chapter 38 Don't Leave Tonight
Su Changming continued to read the memories.
Several key pieces of information were then extracted: it seemed that Duke Rossi had not been in Shenghai during this period, but was instead remotely controlling the area through those bats.
No wonder.
Su Changming suddenly realized.
Despite the fierce fighting outside, that seventh-rank Night Descendant never showed up.
If she had been there, tonight would probably not have been a one-sided massacre, but a fierce battle with uncertain life and death.
As for the purpose of arresting Yao Xiwei...
In their plan, her special bloodline appears to be a crucial key.
"Bloodline..."
Su Changming seemed to be deep in thought.
It seems that this student, Yao, is hiding some secret that even she herself is unaware of.
Although Su Changming appeared to have viewed the memories of the three people, the fragments were actually directly implanted into his mind. In reality, only a moment had passed.
From Yao Xiwei's perspective, after Su Changming killed the three monsters, he stood in the rain for a moment in a daze before quickly coming back to his senses.
"Su...Changming, are you alright?"
Yao Xiwei looked at the figure with its back to her and asked cautiously.
Su Changming turned around, a gentle smile on his face:
"I'm fine, aren't you scared, Yao?"
The three headless corpses on the ground had their heads rolled to one side, and the blood from their severed necks was still being washed away by the rain, creating a truly horrifying scene.
Yao Xiwei leaned against a pillar, barely managing to stand up straight, and gently shook her head.
"I've seen things that are more disgusting and tragic than this since I was a child."
As the daughter of the captain of the Demon Suppression Division, her childhood was devoid of dolls, but filled with stories of blood and demons.
A complex expression flickered in Su Changming's eyes.
His fiancée, whom he had once vehemently opposed, seemed to be completely different from what he had imagined.
"What should we do with these guys?"
Su Changming pointed to the corpses on the ground: "Should we move them to a secluded place and dispose of them properly? This is a high-end villa area in the concession. If people see them tomorrow, it might cause panic."
"Need not."
Yao Xiwei gently shook her head:
"The Demon Suppression Division has personnel specifically responsible for handling the aftermath. When I get back later, I'll make a call, and someone will come to take care of it."
"That's good."
He was happy to have some free time, saving him the trouble of being a corpse mover.
The rain was still falling, and the air was bitterly cold.
Su Changming looked at Yao Xiwei, who was leaning against a pillar and was soaking wet.
The light blue school uniform skirt clung tightly to her body, outlining the girl's beautiful yet youthful curves.
Because of the cold and the side effects of the medication, her whole body was trembling slightly uncontrollably.
"Can you still walk?" Su Changming asked.
Yao Xiwei gritted her teeth, trying to straighten her back and take a step.
However, my legs were weak and I couldn't muster any strength at all.
As soon as she moved, she swayed and almost fell over.
"careful."
Su Changming reacted quickly, taking a step forward and reaching out to support her arm.
"It seems that won't work." Su Changming said gently, looking at her stubborn yet disheveled appearance. "You can't stay here for long. It's too cold outside, and you'll get sick like this."
"I..." Yao Xiwei opened her mouth, wanting to pretend that she could, but her body was telling the truth.
"I'm sorry."
Su Changming said in a low voice.
Before Yao Xiwei could even react to what "offended" meant...
I felt a sudden lightness in my body, and my vision abruptly rose higher.
The next second, she was firmly lifted up by a pair of strong arms.
A standard princess carry.
"ah--!"
Yao Xiwei let out a short gasp involuntarily, and instinctively wrapped her arms around Su Changming's neck.
The scent of a man, mixed with the smell of rain, enveloped her instantly.
Through her rain-soaked shirt, she could clearly feel Su Changming's heartbeat.
And, intense body temperature.
"Su... Su Changming..."
Yao Xiwei's voice was barely audible, and her originally pale face instantly turned bright red, the color spreading all the way to her ears.
She had never had such close contact with a man before.
What's more, the man holding her is her teacher and her nominal fiancé.
"Don't move, or I won't be responsible if you fall."
Su Changming kept his eyes straight ahead, his face calm... probably.
He strode toward the black luxury car that was still running.
He carefully placed Yao Xiwei in the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, and then found a blanket from the back seat to cover her with.
Then, Su Changming walked to the headless driver's body, took out the car keys, and got into the driver's seat.
This car is Rossi's ride, an imported Ford V8, which was definitely a top-of-the-line luxury car in those days.
Su Changming had played with cars a lot while studying abroad, and with his experience as a veteran driver from his previous life, he picked it up very quickly.
Shift gears, accelerate, and turn the steering wheel.
The luxury car traced an elegant arc in the rainy night as it drove away from the gloomy villa.
Inside the carriage, the heating was on full blast.
Wrapped in a blanket, Yao Xiwei huddled in the passenger seat, gradually regaining some color in her face.
"Where to?" Su Changming asked as he drove. "Taking you back to school?"
Yao Xiwei was silent for a moment, then gently shook her head:
"It's too late to get back to school; the area is probably completely locked down by now."
"Take me home."
"it is good."
"Go to the old alleyways of Fuxi Road."
Su Changming was slightly taken aback.
He had assumed that a sergeant of Yao Xian's rank would live in a small villa with a garden, but he was surprised to find that they lived in an old-fashioned alleyway.
It seems that this captain of the Demon Suppression Division is an honest official.
The car sped through the rainy night, quickly leaving the bustling area of the concession and turning into an old neighborhood full of local life.
The streetlights here are dim, the roads are narrow, and the buildings on both sides are old red brick Shikumen-style buildings.
The car was parked at the entrance of the alley.
Su Changming looked up.
This is a somewhat dilapidated three-story building. Much of the red brick on the exterior wall has peeled off, revealing the grayish-blue interior underneath.
"The third floor..." Yao Xiwei pointed to the dark window above, "My home is there."
"Is anyone home?" Su Changming asked casually.
Yao Xiwei shook her head, her eyelids lowered:
"My mother passed away early, and my father... as you know, he went on a mission."
The house was empty; she lived alone.
Su Changming felt a sudden pang of tenderness in his heart.
He turned off the engine, got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, and opened the door.
"bring it on."
He reached out his hand again, this time with a more natural movement.
Yao Xiwei didn't hesitate any longer and obediently let him pick her up.
The hallway was dark, with no lights, only a faint light coming in from the window.
Su Changming carried her, walking very steadily step by step.
Yao Xiwei buried her head in his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat and smelling his faint, reassuring scent. Suddenly, a strange feeling she had never experienced before welled up in her heart.
It wouldn't be bad if we could keep going up this staircase forever.
We arrived at the third floor quickly.
Yao Xiwei blushed and pointed to the wooden door on her left with the character "福" (fortune) pasted on it.
Su Changming took the key out of her pocket and opened the door.
The room was pitch black and deserted.
This is a very cozy two-bedroom apartment. Although the furniture is a bit old, it is spotless.
Su Changming gently placed her on the sofa in the living room, then went to the kitchen to pour her a cup of hot water.
"Drink some hot water, get some rest, and you should be fine once the medication wears off."
After finishing all this, Su Changming glanced at the time; it was almost midnight.
"Then you should get some rest. I'll be going now."
He turned to leave.
"Wait a moment……"
A very faint sound came from behind.
Su Changming paused and turned around.
Under dim lighting.
Yao Xiwei was wrapped in a blanket, curled up in a small ball, looking somewhat helpless.
She looked up at Su Changming, her cheeks flushed. After hesitating for a moment, she finally bit her lip and spoke weakly:
"Could you...please don't leave?"
