Chapter 1090: Swift Departure
"Take advantage of your illness to take your life," these words certainly ring true after all these years. Ren Tianye looked at the weak Qianxi, and these six words appeared in his mind. How could Qianxi not know Ren Tianye's thoughts? Seeing that ugly expression, she must have guessed. Ren Tianye smirked as he walked step by step toward Qianxi.
"What do you want to do?" Qianxi looked at Ren Tianye and said in a deep voice. Hearing this, Ren Tianye did not stop his steps, and the smile on his face became even more pronounced, "Nothing much, I just want to help the young lady up." Ren Tianye put on an earnest expression, and if someone didn't know better, they might actually think he was going to help Qianxi.
Upon hearing Ren Tianye's words, Qianxi couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. If she were to believe Ren Tianye, then she wouldn't last long in society. Yet, Qianxi didn't clearly show that she didn't want Ren Tianye to come close, but instead let him walk towards her.
Finally, Ren Tianye arrived beside Qianxi, and just as Qianxi thought, as soon as he reached her side, Ren Tianye's face darkened. He quickly pulled out a defensive knife from his pocket. The blade wasn't long, but it was extremely sharp.
A cold light flashed, and Qianxi frowned. She thought Ren Tianye wanted to teach her a lesson; she didn't expect he intended to take her life. Ren Tianye looked at Qianxi with a fierce expression, then gripped the knife handle, thrusting it straight toward Qianxi's back. This was a knife, not a fist; if Qianxi couldn't evade in time, there was only a dead end.
However, Qianxi hadn't stopped Ren Tianye from approaching her earlier. Would she really be that foolish? Of course not, because just a moment ago, Qianxi's strength had already recovered somewhat. Even though it was just a little, for dealing with someone as incapable as Ren Tianye, it was enough!
That's why Qianxi didn't stop Ren Tianye; she intended to show him that a starving camel is still bigger than a horse! Suddenly, Qianxi turned left and, borrowing the force of the turn, instantly stood up, narrowly avoiding Ren Tianye's knife.
Seeing this scene, Ren Tianye was immediately shocked. He had thought Qianxi was at the end of her strength, but he didn't expect her to still have energy left. Now that he missed stabbing Qianxi, it would be his own bad luck, and Ren Tianye was very aware of this.
So, Ren Tianye quickly tried to attack again, but just as he turned his head, he was promptly slapped by Qianxi. The sound reverberated through the office, accompanied by Ren Tianye's astonishment, and a red palm mark appeared on his face.
However, this was not the end. With another crisp sound, another clear palm mark appeared on the other side of Ren Tianye's face. Finally responding, Ren Tianye was then kicked hard in the abdomen by Qianxi.
At this moment, Ren Tianye was like a kite with a broken string, flying backward, rolling and crawling until he crashed heavily into the office desk, making a thud that sounded like bones breaking. Seeing this, the bald man who had been resting on the side panicked because if anything happened to Ren Tianye, it would be his misfortune.
So when Qianxi took the first step, the man stopped her, "Stop!" As he spoke, the man suddenly stood up from the ground, but his face still appeared somewhat pale and weak. Hearing this reprimand, Qianxi couldn't help but stop.
The man slowly approached Ren Tianye, then pressed his hand on Ren Tianye's body with a complicated expression on his face. Seeing the way the man looked, Qianxi couldn't help but sneer, thinking what a good dog defending its master he was, watching the man finish doing everything.
After pressing for a while, the man finally sighed in relief, fortunately finding no serious injury, just unconscious. The conclusion made him toss Ren Tianye aside and turn to Qianxi, "Today, we both lose, and no one gains anything. You should go back." As he spoke, the man sighed.
Frankly, when Ren Tianye called him over, he thought it was just an ordinary bodyguard job. He didn't expect to encounter an expert like Qianxi today, and doing the math, he felt at a loss, which is why the man told Qianxi to leave.
But how could Qianxi listen to the man? With the man saying so, Qianxi thought the man might think he couldn't beat her. Therefore, Qianxi frowned and told the man, "Tell your master to hand over the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle!" Naturally referring to Ren Tianye.
The man felt embarrassed as soon as he heard this. Despite feeling he got the short end of the stick in this affair since it was his employer's possession, it was hard for him to move it. Seeing the man's embarrassed expression, Qianxi got annoyed, ready to fight.
At this point, the man spoke, "I advise you to let it go. If we both really fight, neither of us will benefit," he said seriously. His expression was earnest, and hearing the man's words, Qianxi frowned. She surely knew she no longer had the means to demand the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, yet she felt unsatisfied.
Qianxi hesitated; she didn't immediately strike the man, and the man was also waiting for Qianxi's response. Qianxi was always one to see things through, so coming here without getting the item left her feeling unsettled.
But given the current situation, the best course for Qianxi was to turn around and leave. Continuing to entangle would yield no result. Finally, after a moment, Qianxi reluctantly nodded and ultimately chose to turn and leave. Seeing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief.
If he had to fight Qianxi again, he estimated his bones would scatter, the man thought afterward, watching Qianxi's retreating figure and sighed helplessly. Then, he glanced again at Ren Tianye. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse; perhaps now Ren Tianye might finally understand this truth.
Turning around, Qianxi helplessly pouted and then quickly left the central building. After exiting the building, Qianxi's step suddenly faltered, almost stumbling to the ground, "Seems I still pushed myself too hard." She muttered to herself, not daring to linger any longer and swiftly departed.
"Ah, Xiao Yifei, you're awake." Such an exclamation came from Xiao Yifei's room as Hua Xiangrong looked at Xiao Yifei, who was lying on the bed, and said excitedly. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei on the bed smiled sheepishly, for in his memories, he had done some ambiguous things.
He nodded and asked with a smile, "Why did you fall asleep here?" Hearing this, Hua Xiangrong stretched and touched her head bashfully. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei also laughed, though he asked, he knew very well that this girl had fallen asleep from exhaustion while taking care of him.
