Chapter 177 Teetering on the Brink
But this statement was undoubtedly made too late.
After all, the weather is getting colder and colder. Working in shifts outdoors all night, no matter how strong everyone is, they're not made of iron.
The cold wind this morning made my body feel stiff. I hadn't slept well, and my limbs were not keeping up with my brain.
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards around him also realized what was happening and tried to stop him, but they were too slow to react.
Secondly, who could have predicted that this second young master, raised in luxury, would take a completely different path!
—Seeing Huo Sili reach out and climb up the tall smart iron gate.
Then, relying entirely on the strength of one arm, he levitated himself and leaped directly from outside the door, appearing in mid-air above the pointed railing at the top of the wrought iron gate at an almost invisible speed.
The bodyguards who witnessed that scene were instantly jolted awake as if they had been doused with ice water!
Oh no! They really wanted to stop them.
But in that instant, if he tried to stop them, it would undoubtedly cause Hosley's back to hit the sharp metal objects on the door!
In that situation, a scratch would be the least of your worries; the real danger is that you might accidentally poke your entire back! That could be fatal!
Therefore, at this crucial moment, the bodyguards were willing but unable to stop him and did not try to intervene.
And, quite helplessly, they became concerned about whether Horstley could land safely, wondering what would happen if he fell and got hurt. Would they be held responsible for it?
Fortunately, Horstley landed quite steadily, without any of the bad situations they had anticipated.
Upon seeing that Horst had landed safely, he stood up straight.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to stop them.
But it was too late to stop them now. After all, Huo Sili's skills were no worse than theirs. Just from that one-arm spin, you could imagine how strong this man's arm strength was!
Thinking of this, the bodyguards who went after Huo Sili really wanted to cry, but in reality, they naturally couldn't shed tears. Instead, they quickly ran after him, shouting Huo Sili's name while calling the assistants on duty inside using their walkie-talkies.
Upstairs, Jiang Qin woke up at this time. Because she went to bed early, she was full of energy.
My morning sickness flared up again last night, so I ate very little and my stomach is quite empty now.
After washing up, and thinking that she wouldn't be going out today, Jiang Qin didn't waste time changing into formal attire. Instead, she left her bedroom in her loungewear and prepared to go downstairs to have breakfast and fill her stomach first.
Unexpectedly, just as I stepped out of the soundproof bedroom and onto the large floor plan, heading towards the elevator, I suddenly heard a noisy commotion.
I thought I was hallucinating, since the villa was built on a mountain and there were no neighbors around.
The bodyguards are usually very professional, speaking softly and never disturbing their employers' lives.
Still feeling a little uneasy, Jiang Qin walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window.
Looking down, however, I didn't see anyone.
Jiang Qin frowned slightly, sensing that something was wrong, but upon closer inspection, there was indeed no one there.
It is clear that no matter how well a person sleeps, they still cannot make decisions when they wake up early and are hungry.
Holding onto a sliver of hope that she might have misheard, Jiang Qin entered the elevator.
When he came out, his dark pupils suddenly contracted.
The person who appeared at the gate was someone she knew all too well.
"Qinqin".
Huo Sili strode forward, about to walk inside, but Jiang Qin pursed her pink lips and looked at Huo Sili with eyes full of disgust.
She turned quickly and walked into the elevator. Her home clothes, in a light and gentle color, looked to him like ice at that moment.
Undoubtedly, this action was an obvious attempt to avoid him; she didn't want to see him.
The emotions in her eyes just now were like countless sharp swords piercing his heart, leaving him speechless.
Horstley's dark eyes turned ashen once more.
The words he'd been holding back all night—"I didn't cheat on you, Li Xueqian's pregnancy has nothing to do with me, I have recordings to prove it"—ultimately remained unspoken.
The bodyguards who were chasing after them were in a panic, but they were about to stop Horstley.
Horst turned around and, like an autumn leaf, his tall figure swayed precariously as he walked forward.
