Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 869: Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, cold beauty x killer 3

Shen Xi stood straight, staring intently at Xie Qi who was sitting next to him, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

At the same time, he silently counted down in his heart: '3, 2, 1...'

The air around seemed to be frozen by this silent countdown, and the sound of raindrops hitting the alley wall became clearer and clearer.

"I promise you."

Xie Qi's voice sounded at the right time, his tone carrying a hint of determination, yet also mixed with expectations for the future.

Hearing this expected answer, Shen Xi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful arc.

"I told you you're a smart guy."

His voice was low and firm, echoing in the damp alley.

To Shen Xi, the answer was indeed expected. After all, Xie Qi had gone through more than a decade of agony and suffering, living on the edge of a knife every day. In this world, perhaps no one was more eager to escape from this dark life than him.

Then, their eyes met in the air, and at that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.

Shen Xi stared at Xie Qi closely, as if he could see through his eyes and directly see through the doubts in his heart.

"There is nothing in the world that can't be solved with silver," Shen Xi said slowly, his tone calm and confident, "As long as you take out gold and silver of equal value to you, they will not hold on to you. You should have a contract to sell your body." His words were like a beacon, illuminating a possible way out for Xie Qi in this gloomy rainy alley.

Xie Qi was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he raised his head with some doubt, looking straight at Shen Xi, his eyes full of inquiry: "How do you know so much?"

This question had been lingering in his mind for a long time, and now he couldn't help but blurt it out.

"There are only a few rules in the underworld, and they are easy to guess." Shen Xi responded lightly, with no change in his expression.

Xie Qi nodded, and he regretted asking that question.

How could Shen Xi, who could remain calm in the face of swords and knives while negotiating, be an ordinary person?

"Give me two days and I can bring you out."

In fact, it won’t take two days. Whether or not to have him come out is just a matter of a word from me.

But it’s not fun to reveal your true identity too early.

"If I fail to do it, it won't be too late for you to come back in two days."

Shen Xi gently supported his cheek with one hand, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, like the spring breeze in March, yet so elusive.

His skin was fair, and under the dim light in the room, he looked pale and sickly. At first glance, he looked like a nobleman who was pampered by a wealthy family. This did not fit his image of someone who knew many tricks of the world.

But Xie Qi had a vague feeling in his heart that the person in front of him was not as simple as he seemed. He seemed to be covered by a mysterious veil, hiding endless secrets.

"it is good."

Xie Qi responded briefly. Although his voice was light, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Seeing that he agreed, Shen Xi slowly withdrew his gaze and thought to himself that although he was full of curiosity and wanted to take a closer look at this special person in front of him, if he kept staring at him, it would inevitably make Xie Qi suspicious, so it would be better to stop.

Shen Xi stood up and walked towards the window leisurely.

Outside the window, the rain was pouring down. Raindrops as big as beans were hitting the window frames, splashing layers of water. The whole world seemed to be shrouded in a haze by this heavy rain.

"It's raining so hard outside, how about you stay at my place for one night?"

Shen Xi said without turning his head, his voice seemed even more ethereal against the backdrop of the sound of rain.

However, after a long time, there was no response from Xie Qi. Shen Xi was full of doubts, and slowly turned his head, only to realize that Xie Qi was no longer in the room, and only the maid was lying on the ground, sleeping soundly.

He couldn't help but smile helplessly and murmured softly: "It's walking so fast."

That smile showed both admiration for Xie Qi's decisive style of action and a hint of regret that something was not accomplished.

Then, Shen Xi looked at the maid on the ground, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, calling Wangcai. "Erase her memory and wake her up."

His voice was low and calm, without a trace of emotion, as if he had repeated this instruction countless times. Wangcai took the order, stepped forward quickly, and completed the task skillfully. After a while, the maid woke up slowly, with a bewildered look on her face, and had no memory of what had just happened. With the help of others, she left the room with a weak step.

Shen Xi, looking at the rain still falling outside the window, fell into deep thought.
