Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 48 - Ye Cheng!

CHAPTER 48

"Li Jing!"

She was not expecting he would call out her name all of a sudden and stopped talking as instructed.

He did not say anything to her or even looked at her, his eyes and attention seemed to have drifted off somewhere else.

And just like that, he ignored her. Since she was worried and not paying attention, she did not hear the sound of the moving car.

Unlike Ye Cheng who had a good sense of hearing, hers wasn't too good especially when she was distracted or worried.

At that same time when she quieted down, she heard the noise herself. She stopped talking and looked up at him then stood up. By now Ye Cheng was already at the front of the dining room with his eyes fixed at the windows.

Before she knew what was going on, she saw several men come out from the path leading up and from the bushes at the front.

'What is going on? They are all… armed.'

"Get down!"

As soon as Ye Cheng shouted his order, the next thing Li Jing knew, she saw the men take positions from the opening in the window and aimed their guns at them.

Instantly, she felt a sudden pull on her hand dragging her down and what followed next…

BANG! BANG!

~~The sounds of the bullet flying everywhere could be heard followed by the incessant breaking of things in the house.

"Ahh!"

Bang! Bang!

Li Jing who could not take it shouted in fear but Ye Cheng was quick to act as he clasped his palm over her mouth and used his free hand to block his lips.

"Shh!"

Li Jing looked at him with wide fear-filled eyes and slowly nodded at him. He could see the fear and panic envelop her entire being as her chest heaved up and down in a fast rhythm.

This was what he was trying to avoid. Who would have thought that it would have happened sooner than expected?

At one point he was angry for delaying his stay here but at another point he was glad. What if he had left and she was the only one at home, wouldn't that have put Li Jing in the same situation Bai Qing Mei had faced?

He would never forgive himself if this innocent girl was injured.

At the same time, Li Jing nodded at him and took a deep breath closing her eyes briefly. Just then the onslaught of bullets suddenly stopped and the noise died down.

They were still at the dining room close to the living room. Luckily a cushion was shielding them from any one's view but Ye Cheng knew it would not remain safe for long.

"Follow me," Ye Cheng said in a hushed voice and pulled her with him.

Together both of them crawled out of the dining room and into the pa.s.sage. The moment they left dining the firing resumed and this time closer than before.

The shooting continued, spraying everywhere in the living room and dining with bullets.

Clank!

Bang!

Kpar!

As they crawled their way into the pa.s.sageway, the deafening sounds of the bullets. .h.i.tting and destroying things seemed to only increase with each pa.s.sing second.

Meaning one thing… They were already very close to the house.

In no time, Ye Cheng led her close to one of the storage rooms but just before they entered, he used the rug on the floor away and Li Jing was shocked by the sight in front of them.

Just below that rug was a bolt on the floor, showing the outlines of an opening. Ye Cheng quickly opened it and asked her to go in.

At first, she was sceptical and shocked. She had been living the Grandma Tian Jiaye for a long time and never as she once saw this place.

"Go on. Fast."

Li Jing was about hesitating but and questioning where that led to but stopped when the next thing she heard was…

BANG!

The front door was. .h.i.t down and fell with a loud thud as their spraying continued. They were surrounded from the front and side of the house as the shooting came from the windows of the bedrooms and kitchen.

Without a second thought, she took small stairs below the floor and rushed in. Ye Cheng followed quickly, but just before he locked the floorboard, he managed to drag the rug on top of the floorboard and closed it.

Fortunately for them, because of the shooting, the raiders did not hear the sound the board made. Unfortunately for them, there was no bolt on the inside.

They quickly found a place to seat on the floor. Due to how t was built, it was a little bit cramped up inside with little s.p.a.ce to sit and not stand, bringing them all too close to the floorboard.

A minute later and the shooting stopped. Li Jing could hear the heavy footsteps of several men entering the house and her heart seemed to have jumped into her chest at that very minute.

'Li Jing, Li Jing, what have you gotten yourself into? You knew something like this could happen. Now you are a goner. Yin Lifen would kill me if I manage to survive this.'

She knew she was a goner already but ever since she followed that voice when she was a kid and did good in helping people, it never backfired on her except…

Sigh, it always did backfire on her. She helped Duan Tian and they dated after being close. Turns out he was a douchebag.

She always helped Li Xiu and we all know the outcome.
