“Didn’t you just promise to stay here?” Khan quickly stepped in front of her and spoke in a gentle tone, “Moreover, it’s raining outside, and I don’t feel comfortable leaving you alone at home. What if your cold gets worse and there’s no one to take care of you?”
Xiya’s lip quivered slightly.
When did this man become such a chatterbox?
“Don’t worry, I already feel much better after a good sleep, and besides, I used to stay alone at home all the time without any issues.”
“No, maybe I should stay at your place for the night.” Khan suggested.
“…”
“Just so you know, that’s not happening.”
No matter how she viewed it, she was definitely at the losing end.
Did they have a close relationship for him to suggest such a thing?
“I will just ask Jian Qing then.” Khan had a sudden inspiration, took out his phone, and said, “She’s the homeowner, if she agrees, then it won’t be a problem.”
Damn, this guy knows how to think on his feet during situations like this.
She wondered, with a brain like his, how could he have fallen for a naive girl like Daisy back in the day?
“Stop it, I will stay here for the night.” She said in resignation.
Knowing Jian Qing’s quirky personality, she might take advantage of the situation if she found out about her staying at Khan’s place. Oh well, it’s just one night. She could put up with it.
As soon as she agreed, Khan immediately put away his phone.

“You can sleep in the master bedroom and I will sleep in the guest room.”
He did wish to share a room with her, but he knew better than to push his luck during this delicate situation.
“No need, I’ll just sleep in the guest room.” Xiya thought of the room she slept in this afternoon. She instinctively knew that it had to be his room.
“You’re pregnant. You need to ensure a good quality of sleep. It’s settled then. You’ll sleep in the master bedroom.” Khan didn’t give her a chance to reject, and led her.
Xiya helplessly shook her head and went along with him.
When it was time to take a bath in the evening, Xiya regretted her impulsive decision to stay here.
She didn’t have any clothes, how was she supposed to bathe?
The bedroom door wasn’t closed. Khan knocked and then came in.
“What are you doing here?” Xiya asked vigilantly, her eyes fixed on him.
“I had someone buy you some clothes.” He handed a shopping bag to her.
Xiya took it, and Khan walked to the closet, grabbed a set of clothes, and left the room.
“I’ll be in the guest room next door, if you need anything, just call me.”
“Alright.”
Once the door was closed, Xiya opened the shopping bag.
A set of white sportswear was inside, and even undergarments were included.
She picked up the label on the undergarment, and checked the size.
Er…
It was a tiny bit tight.
Well, she could put up for one night.
She took the shopping bag and went into the bathroom.
The outdoor storm raged while the two of them peacefully spent the night indoors.
—–
In a shabby room that reeked of dampness and decay.
A man was tied to a large round log, his black clothes were stained with dried blood, his body marked by lashings and bullet wounds.
At the door, two men in camouflage stood guard.
“Captain!”
Quan Yimo nodded, pushed the door open, and entered. Qiao Yu followed him in.
“Fu Heng, what’s the situation?”
Fu Heng threw down his whip, “Still not talking.”
Jikin really was as tough as they come. Any other assassin would’ve cracked by now.
Would it be worth it to compliment his loyalty?
Qiao Yu stepped forward, gripped Jikin’s jaw with his gloved hand, the force of it making Jikin hiss.
“Jikin, I’m rather curious about something. We have had you for quite a few days now, and Iverson and his guys haven’t come to save you. Aren’t they effectively abandoning you?”
Jikin laughed derisively, his gaze filled with malice. “Don’t try to sow discord among us. If you’ve got the balls, kill me. You won’t get anything out of me.”
“Why would I want to sow discord? If they wanted to rescue you, they would’ve come by now. Where are they? To stand your ground is of no use to you. At worst, we will slowly torture you. It would be better if you disclosed their whereabouts, and we could grant you a swift end.” Qiao Yu continued.
“Spit.” Jikin said fiercely, “I am telling you, they will come for me. Of this, I am certain. In contrast, if I manage to escape, the first thing I will do is kill all of you.”
Qiao Yu laughed coldly and slapped him.
“Slap–”
“Has he been thoroughly searched?” Quan Yimo gaze landed on Jikin. His question was filled with scrutiny and inquiry.
“He’s been searched. There’s nothing.” Fu Heng replied.
This was the most puzzling part, there was nothing on Jikin, and yet, he was brimming with confidence, certain that Iverson and the others would come to the rescue.
What was the secret here?
“Calling Lt. Colonel Quan, calling Lt. Colonel Quan.”
On his hip, Abel’s voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Quan Yimo immediately picked up the walkie-talkie, “Received, go ahead.”
“My team has found an infected individual with the virus. Please have Fu Heng come over.”
Upon hearing this, Quan Yimo and the others looked at each other.
“Received, we are on our way.”
Quan Yimo and Fu Heng exchanged a look and rushed out.
“Hahaha, did you hear that? What an excellent piece of news.” Jikin roared.
Qiao Yu’s face darkened and he delivered a punch to Jikin.
“Jikin, since you have such stubbornness, let me give you a small gift.”
Having said that, he turned and left, whispering something to the guards outside.
Soon, a guard came back with a bucket of water.
Qiao Yu reached out to take it and walked back to Jikin.
“What… what are you doing?”
Jikin sniffed a choking smell, which gave him a bad feeling.
Qiao Yu sneered, lifted the bucket, and poured its contents over him.
Now let’s see him keep his arrogance.
“Ah–”
Chili water splashed on his wounds, the pain was unimaginable.
Jikin’s eyes bulged, and he let out a raw throaty roar.
Hellish screams echoed in the room. The two guards at the door looked at each other and chuckled.
Qiao Yu did have a knack for this sort of thing.
Jikin wouldn’t be laughing this time.
Qiao Yu put down the bucket, completely ignoring Jikin’s furious glare, and left the room.
Meanwhile, after reaching the location mentioned by Abel, Fu Heng immediately went to inspect the infected individual.
“When was it discovered?”
“Just now, our patrol found him at the entrance of that old church over there.” Abel reported.
“Just like the boy before, take him to the quarantine area immediately.” Fu Heng said with a serious face.
The others helped carry the man away, and Fu Heng followed them.
“Has the church been checked?” Quan Yimo asked.
“We checked the area immediately. Nothing is amiss.” Abel replied.
“Jingwu, what do you think?” Quan Yimo asked, turning to Quan Jingwu.
“Send people to check the church again and assign some to keep an eye on it.” Quan Jingwu said thoughtfully.
