Seeing her so heartbroken now, she must have been terrified by what happened earlier, causing such an intense reaction. Qiqi wept uncontrollably on him, her tears flowing like an endless river, ceaseless and unstoppable. She herself didn’t know if these were tears of gratitude, tears of fear, or tears of joy from surviving a close call. Or perhaps they were tears of emptiness, triggered by the sudden, overwhelming panic that left her utterly lost...
Why was that wolf so enormous? Why was it so ferocious? Most importantly, why did it look so much like Rong Yi? ! If it was Rong Yi, why would it attack her? If it was Rong Yi, how many severe gunshot wounds must it have suffered today! That last bullet—did it hit its heart? Would it be okay? Thinking of all this, Qiqi felt her mind in a tangled mess!
Just then, Zhou Yi walked over, still shaken, and asked, “What the hell was that creature just now? So vicious!” Lu Wei glanced at Qiqi, noticing her pale face, and said, “Probably some wild beast. There’s a nature reserve nearby—maybe something escaped from there.” Qiqi didn’t want them to dwell on this topic, so she quickly said, “It’s already run off. Let’s not worry about it for now. Senior Brother, let me help treat your wounds!” Without waiting for a response, she grabbed Lu Wei and pulled him toward the fountain—sulfuric acid burns required immediate action: first, use clean cloth to absorb any residual acid on the skin, then flush thoroughly with plenty of water! Luckily, they weren’t far from the fountain. By its edge, Qiqi carefully helped her senior brother remove his shirt, dabbed the wounds dry with a clean inner lining, and then scooped up cool water to pour over his back. I rinse, I rinse, I rinse and rinse... Over and over again...
The gunshots in the garden drew the villa’s butler and several security personnel. The middle-aged butler’s face changed drastically when he saw the scene in the garden. He immediately ordered the guards to spread out and seal off all entrances to the garden. Then, he hurried over to Lu Wei and asked with concern, “Young Master, are you alright?” Lu Wei shook his head at him. Meanwhile, Zhou Yi helped Zhou Zhibi over as well. Lu Wei glanced at Zhou Yi, and they exchanged a look. Then he instructed the butler, “Uncle Long, notify everyone—seal the scene immediately. No one is allowed into the garden! Not a single word of tonight’s events is to leak out! Also, pull up the garden’s surveillance footage, and call Detective Ke for me—ask him to come over for a talk!” His voice was gentle yet carried an unspoken authority. The butler, named Uncle Long, immediately straightened his back and replied respectfully, “Yes!” Lu Wei’s tone softened slightly as he added, “Uncle Long, please take care of the guests tonight.” Uncle Long nodded and said, “Young Master, rest assured. I’ll attend to them right away—no one will notice a thing!” After Uncle Long left, Qiqi asked suspiciously, “Senior Brother, aren’t we calling the police?” Lu Wei shook his head. “No need for now.” Qiqi was puzzled. “Why not? Someone’s been killed!” When a life is lost, shouldn’t the police be called? Besides, those men in black were clearly trying to kill her—this was a vicious murder case. At the very least, the police should investigate!
