Chapter 378: Since the Person Dared to Stretch out His Claws, I’ll Chop Them!

“They must be sent by someone powerful!” Chu Liuchen watched the few people searching for Qin Wanru in the crowd with interest.

They seemed to be casual, but actually cooperated well. When something happened, there was an immediate response. An experienced team like them must be sent by someone powerful!

Unexpectedly he found some clues here, which was really a surprise.

“Xiao Xuanzi!” Chu Liuchen said to someone downstairs through the window.

Although his voice was not high, Xiao Xuanzi standing downstairs heard it immediately, hurried upstairs, and said respectfully to Chu Liuchen, “Master!”

“Go, find something for them to do!” Chu Liuchen pointed to the downstairs with his chin.

Xiao Xuanzi glanced at the direction he was pointing at, also saw those people, and instantly understood, “Master, I’ll go to arrange it now!”

“You must not spare the shopkeeper’s life!” Chu Liuchen said with a smile.

“I understand!” Xiao Xuanzi nodded, glanced at Qin Wanru with a smile, turned and went downstairs again. He had already asked Yujie downstairs, and knew that Qin Wanru had been to a bookstore before.

That bookshop happened to be the one his master had been investigating recently. Unexpectedly they did something and were discovered by his master so soon.

“What is Xiao Xuanzi going to do?” Qin Wanru watched Xiao Xuanzi go downstairs quickly and asked in amazement.

“Since the shopkeeper has seen you and talked to you, I shouldn’t spare his life.” Chu Liuchen smiled slightly and said lazily.

His words made Qin Wanru feel horrified. Of course, she knew that it was the best solution. Although she didn’t know for whom the shopkeeper worked, it was certain that he had kept an eye on her. It was her wrong speculation that caused such a result. The best solution was definitely to get rid of the shopkeeper.

She bit her lip, moved her fingers slightly, but didn’t say anything to stop him.

She wouldn’t be soft-hearted. If the shopkeeper stayed alive, she was very likely to be seen by him and even be killed, and the disaster might be brought on her entire family.

“Thank you, Your Highness!” She bit her lip, and heard herself whisper.

“Since you work for me, I would definitely not allow anyone to bully you! Since the person dared to stretch out his claws, I’ll chop them!” Chu Liuchen said unhurriedly, with endless bloodthirsty coldness in his words.

Qin Wanru nodded. She would not feel pity for the innocent shopkeeper. If she were an ordinary Miss who just went inside to inquire about the calligraphy, she would probably have been killed this time. Moreover, if they failed to get the calligraphy from her, they might even exterminate her entire family.

It was definitely not the first time for them, who would rather kill one thousand innocent people than let go of one target, to do that.

They just did that in a ruthless manner and hid what they had done from everyone else!

“Aren’t you afraid?” Chu Liuchen raised his eyebrows, seeming to be astonished by her calmness.

“If I were afraid, will they spare me?” Qin Wanru shook her head, with few ripples in her calm and charming eyes. The surge at the moment had receded. She had decided to no longer be soft-hearted after being reborn. If she couldn’t even protect herself and those whom she cared about, being soft-hearted was meaningless.

“Of course they won’t spare you. You have probably stirred up something serious. The one who knows it should not spare your life.” Chu Liuchen suddenly chuckled meaningfully.

“Your Highness, would you spare my life?” Qin Wanru raised her eyes and looked at Chu Liuchen. Her watery eyes reflected Chu Liuchen’s handsome figure, but his figure seemed to be more furious and cruel than usual with his fists clenched fiercely on both sides. Only she knew that she was definitely not peaceful at this time!

“I will definitely not spare someone else’s life, but regarding you…” No one knew when Chu Liuchen touched Qin Wanru’s slender neck with his hand. As a teenager, his hand was not big actually, but it was a lot bigger compared with Qin Wanru’s slender neck. His hand was placed on Qin Wanru’s neck. She could even feel the thick darkness and bloodthirsty coldness in Chu Liuchen’s eyes.

“You work for me. How could I kill you!”

He softly touched Qin Wanru’s neck with his hand, and his smile became gentle, as if she had mistaken the bloodthirsty coldness and brutality in his eyes.

He moved his hand up again, stopped at the top of her hair, rubbed it gently and reminded her, “Zhuozhuo, look outside!”

Qin Wanru turned around to look outside, and her blood slowly returned to her heart from all over. Even so, she felt relieved and feeble due to her nervousness a moment ago. Chu Liuchen moved his hand from the top of her hair to her shoulder and gently supported her. He did that so elegantly, with no worldly temperament.

Qin Wanru shifted her attention out of the window. There was chaos outside the window. Someone was shouting, “Someone’s been killed!”

“There are assassins!”

“Help!” …

There suddenly came some screams, and the pedestrians on the street were scared and ran in chaos. Some people rushed to the place where the sounds came out. They were those who had searched for Qin Wanru in the crowd.

The sounds happened to come from the store.

Something happened in the store?

Biting her lip, Qin Wanru heard her calm voice, “Has that shopkeeper been killed?”

“Yes!” Chu Liuchen said affirmatively, with a trace of gorgeous coldness in his light smile, like an unsheathed blade scratching the sharpest part of someone else lightly and sharply, “Would you like to have a look?”

“Can I?” Qin Wanru turned around and asked.

“Definitely not. If you go downstairs now, someone will probably recognize you. After all, the shopkeeper isn’t the only person who has seen you, right?”

Chu Liuchen laughed, seemingly amused by Qin Wanru’s innocence!

On hearing his words, Qin Wanru fell silent and remembered that she had actually been seen by more than a shop assistant in the store. She suddenly felt a beat in her heart. “Is that shop assistant…”

“It’s unnecessary to keep the place, so I also destroy it!” Chu Liuchen said with an increasingly gentle smile and his gaze falling on the street downstairs.

Qin Wanru turned around again, only to find that the store had caught fire with the flare soaring into the sky. Some people were calling for help, some were fighting the fire, and some were running away. They were in a mess.

There was more than one dead person. Qin Wanru’s good eyesight enabled her to see that some of those, who had searched for her, were dead on the spot. It was the first time that she had seen people die in front of her since she was reborn, and they died because of her.

Her cold fingers shivered slightly, and she suddenly felt like she had touched something warm and soft. She lowered her head subconsciously, only to see that Chu Liuchen was holding her hand.

His hand was warm this time. He held her cold little hand and exerted a little strength.

“Are you afraid?” Chu Liuchen suddenly asked with a faint smile.

“No!” Qin Wanru raised her head, shook her head decisively and stared directly at Chu Liuchen’s face which was so pretty that it seemingly belonged to a celestial teenager coming out of an ink and wash landscape painting. His cold eyes contained chill and rage!

It was a life-and-death situation where either they or she would be killed. She didn’t think that they would be kind enough to spare her life.

If it weren’t for Chu Liuchen’s appearance, she would have got into trouble or even been dragged into a desperate abyss.

“That’s good. Sit down. I want to tell you something!” Chu Liuchen laughed, took her hand and walked to the table. They sat down again.

“Your Highness, what do you want to tell me?” Qin Wanru asked.

“Mingqiu Nun has reached the capital!” Chu Liuchen looked at her with a smile.

“Where is she?” Qin Wanru was so excited that she instantly intended to get up with the support of the table and stared straight at Chu Liuchen with joy in her eyes. She estimated that it was time for Mingqiu Nun to reach the capital. However, she hadn’t got any message from Mingqiu Nun until now, so she had intended to find a chance to ask Chu Liuchen about it.

“She has entered the palace to treat my grandma, and my grandma was very satisfied with her!” Chu Liuchen said meaningfully.

Qin Wanru froze, blinked her watery eyes and asked after hesitating, “Mingqiu Nun lives in the palace now?”

“Temporarily!” Chu Liuchen said.

“Uh… how can I meet Mingqiu Nun?” Qin Wanru said helplessly. The imperial palace was not a place which she could visit as she wanted.

Although the Empress Dowager had allowed her to enter the palace at any time and she had the pass given by Chu Liuchen, Qin Wanru did not dare to act rashly.

“In the next few days, I will take Mingqiu Nun with me when I return to my mansion. Mingqiu Nun has excellent medical skills indeed. I’ve got much better!”

Chu Liuchen squinted at her, picked up the wine pot on the table, filled his glass, and took a sip slowly.

“Considering Your Highness’ health condition, you should drink less!” Qin Wanru looked at Chu Liuchen with disapproval.

“I’m in good health!” Chu Liuchen said casually, looking at her with a meaningful smile.

His words seemed to be true, and Qin Wanru felt like she had almost been convinced.

“Your Highness, you had better take care of yourself. Even if Mingqiu Nun is here, she must tell you the same thing!” Qin Wanru said implicitly. She was persuading Chu Liuchen sincerely. Chu Liuchen had saved her, so she should thank Chu Liuchen for that.

“You want to instruct me?” Chu Liuchen said with an increasingly gentle smile on his handsome face. Qin Wanru even thought that his smile could be considered gentle.

“I don’t dare!”

“In fact, it is not impossible!” Chu Liuchen tapped the table gently with his finger, “You are going to marry into my Prince Chen’s Mansion anyway, so it’s justifiable for you to instruct me in advance!”

He said that so rightly that Qin Wanru blushed immediately. What did instructing him in advance mean? What was more, it was just a measure of expediency for her to marry into Prince Chen’s Mansion. By the time Prince Chen fell in love with someone else, she would back out. It was unnecessary for her to instruct him!

“Your Highness, I don’t dare!” She said again.

Chu Liuchen ignored her words, put down his wine glass, took a thick stack of things out of his arms, pulled Qin Wanru’s hand, placed them in her palm, and then reached out to help her grab them and said with a slight and mild smile, “Zhuozhuo, I’ve prepared a new year gift for you. Have you prepared anything for me?”
