C140 Firewood Fire

The morning air was always fresh.

The sunlight shone through the window onto Lin Jie's angular face.

Lin Jie stretched his back strongly.

Lin Jie was feeling a little tired as everything happened in the past two days.

But Lin Jie knew that this was only the beginning of his journey of ten thousand miles. The difficulties and challenges he would encounter in the future could only be said to be growing more and more.

Just as Lin Jie was comforting himself, the phone suddenly rang.

It was actually Chi Xiaoxue.

Lin Jie picked up the phone.

"What's wrong?"

Chi Xiaoxue's nervous voice came out from the phone.

"Lin Jie, I've always noticed strangers passing by our house."

"Isn't it normal for them to pass by."

Lin Jie was very different.

"The problem is that these people are always staring at my house, whether intentionally or unintentionally. That's why I keep having the feeling that there's something wrong with these people." Chi Xiaoxue said with uncertainty as well.

At this time, Lin Jie frowned.

Could it be him?

"It doesn't matter. I'll go take a look now. You wait for me …"

With that, Lin Jie hung up the phone.

Just a moment ago, he was thinking that his mission was quite heavy, but unexpectedly, the mission had already arrived.

Lin Jie put on his clothes and walked out.

"Jie... Hurry up and eat. " Lin Keqing was currently wearing a set of long pajamas.

There was also a kind smile on his face.

It looked like Lin Keqing had already walked out of the haze from yesterday.

"Sis, do you still plan on looking for a job?" "Why don't I find one for you?"

Lin Keqing nodded.

"That's great. The job my brother is looking for can't possibly have happened to him yesterday …"

Lin Keqing said jokingly.

Lin Jie laughed, and then directly left after eating a mouthful of food.

This time, Lin Jie did not ride a Ghost Motorcycle, after all the cars needed maintenance, although he did not know how to add brake oil, gear oil, machine oil and so on.

However, Lin Jie knew that it was better not to use it too often. In the future, he would use Merit Point s to exchange for some synthetic materials.

He took a taxi to Chi Xiaoxue's address, but Lin Jie did not go over directly. Instead, he slowly took out his phone and pretended to make a call, while beginning to observe his surroundings.

After two laps, Lin Jie still had some harvest.

It was actually just as Chi Xiaoxue had said, she was actually being targeted.

Lin Jie exclaimed that Chi Xiaoxue's sixth sense was simply too accurate.

After he found out the number of people and the location they were hidden in, Lin Jie opened the door and entered with the key that Chi Xiaoxue had given him.

When Chi Xiaoxue, who was upstairs, heard the commotion downstairs, her heart thumped. Could it be that those people came in?

Chi Xiaoxue held the baseball bat in her hand and slowly walked down.

When he reached the corner of the stairs, he actually heard footsteps.

When the footsteps got closer, Chi Xiaoxue was so nervous that she started sweating.

Just as the foot was about to turn the corner, Chi Xiaoxue shouted loudly.

"Watch the stick …"

After she finished speaking, Chi Xiaoxue actually used the staff in her hand to smash it onto the man's head.

Lin Jie cursed, but it was already too late.

"Bang …" A muffled sound rang out.

Lin Jie's head honorably hit the baseball bat.

Lin Jie sighed with emotion. Fortunately, Chi Xiaoxue's strength was too small, and it was also because of the Divine Sense Mantra that she had cultivated in the past.

Therefore, Lin Jie only felt a slight pain.

How could Lin Jie, who was so powerful, still be ambushed by Chi Xiaoxue?

This meant that Lin Jie was not on guard at all the moment he entered the room.

The system had actually tacitly agreed to Chi Xiaoxue's actions, and there wasn't the slightest reaction at all.

Other than being helpless, Lin Jie was also wondering if there really was some BUG in his system.

When Chi Xiaoxue saw that the person in front of him was actually Lin Jie, the difference in their eyes widened even more.

She had already forgotten that Lin Jie had his own key.

"Right... "I'm sorry." Chi Xiaoxue had an awkward expression.

Lin Jie waved his hand.

However, she discovered that today, Chi Xiaoxue was wearing a goose yellow dress, and at her feet was a pair of rabbit slippers.

"Where's Xiao Xin? Is she asleep? "

"She …" She went to her aunt's house. " Chi Xiaoxue said softly.

"Oh …" Lin Jie actually did not know what to say either.

The atmosphere became awkward.

"Oh right, when I came in just now, did I really find someone watching you downstairs? Or was he just looking for an opportunity?" Lin Jie also didn't understand what they were thinking of doing.

Chi Xiaoxue nodded.

"Although I don't know what their motive is, I have a feeling that something isn't right …"

Lin Jie was startled.

"What's wrong?" Lin Jie asked.

"I don't know. It's the only feeling."

Chi Xiaoxue said helplessly.

"It's okay, I'm fine here." Lin Jie comforted Chi Xiaoxue.

After hearing Lin Jie's words, Chi Xiaoxue said in a strange tone.

"And if you're not here?"

When Chi Xiaoxue finished speaking, there was also a burst of difference in her heart.

What had happened to him? Why would he say such words?

At this time, Lin Jie did not understand the meaning behind Chi Xiaoxue's words.

Lin Jie secretly thought, what Chi Xiaoxue said was right, what if she was not by her side?

Seeing Lin Jie being so conflicted, Chi Xiaoxue actually felt a little lonely in her heart …

But at this time, Lin Jie did not notice anything strange about Chi Xiaoxue.

After thinking for a while, Lin Jie said directly.

"If you don't mind, you can stay at my house. Take Xiao Xin with you."

Hearing Lin Jie's words, Chi Xiaoxue was stunned.

"This... This... "How can this work? How troublesome …"

Although Chi Xiaoxue said this, she was exceptionally happy in her heart.

"It's nothing. My parents went back home. I'm the only one living with my sister right now."

"I... "Alright."

Chi Xiaoxue's voice was extremely soft, causing her heart to inexplicably tremble when she heard it.

This magnetic voice, only Chi Xiaoxue would have it.

"Lin Jie? Lin Jie? " Chi Xiaoxue called out in surprise.

"No …" I'm sorry. "

Lin Jie was very embarrassed.

However, Chi Xiaoxue's current heart was even more like that of a young girl, and the heartbeat that she hadn't seen for a long time caused Chi Xiaoxue's eyes to turn completely red.

"Cough, cough …" What do you want to say? " Lin Jie asked awkwardly.

"I …" Chi Xiaoxue actually forgot what she wanted to say just now.

"Oh right, what should I do now? Now, I don't even dare to go out the door, nor do I dare to let Xiao Xin go home … "

At this time, Chi Xiaoxue's embroidered eyebrows were tightly knitted. Combined with her impeccable appearance, it formed a completely different type of melancholy.

Seeing this, Lin Jie fell once again …

"Lin Jie... Can you stop looking at it for a moment? "We are currently discussing serious matters …" Chi Xiaoxue looked at Lin Jie in anger.

"Right, right..." I'll take you over to the Detective Agency later. It should be safe there, so when you come home with me tonight, it will be even safer. "

Lin Jie spoke out his thoughts.

Chi Xiaoxue nodded to herself, looks like this is the only way.

"Thank you, Lin Jie." Chi Xiaoxue said with a serious face.

"What are you thanking me for? What relationship do we have?"

After Lin Jie said this, he secretly regretted it.

Sure enough …

When Lin Jie said this, he was stunned for a moment before suddenly recalling what happened that afternoon.

Chi Xiaoxue felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest, her cheeks becoming slightly red.

"The events of that day …"

Before Chi Xiaoxue could finish speaking, Lin Jie hurriedly said.

"Don't misunderstand, I mean even if... "This …"

Lin Jie crumbled once again.

He didn't know how to express what he had just said …

"Lin Jie, don't bring up what happened that day, alright? Just treat it as our secret? "

Chi Xiaoxue's voice was delicate and gentle, making others feel that it was like a spring breeze, green and filled with yearning.

At this moment, their gazes met …

At this point, the firewood burned...

At this moment, the flame was ignited …

This kind of flame was like a blazing star in the prairie; it was simply uncontrollable …

Just like this, Lin Jie spent the entire day in the villa.

When Lin Jie and Chi Xiaoxue walked out of the villa, Chi Xiaoxue had a smile on her face that she hadn't seen in a long time.

Chi Xiaoxue's arm hugged onto Lin Jie's arm, as though they were a pair of passionate lovers.

Both of them had smiles on their faces.

Chi Xiaoxue did not take too many things, only a few simple clothes and a woman's favorite cosmetics …

When they were about to reach the entrance of the residential complex, a few men in black suddenly jumped out from the opposite direction.

Every man had a gloomy expression on their face.

Yet Lin Jie found out that there were still two men from another country.

Looks like these people were the people who were hiding in the shadows, and were the people who were dealing with Chi Xiaoxue.
