Steward Han tries to reassure An Chuxia with a smile . “Young madame, don’t be afraid . They’re our people . Do you know what they’re doing? Something we can’t look at quickly . ”
“Yes!” The group of well-trained bodyguards forms two lines . In their hands are guns . Although they look at her respectfully, she can see in the dim light their eyes have seen the blood . Han’s people treat their master with respect . They’ll never overstep their boundaries . However, they won’t have any leniency for their master’s foes .
A number of bodyguards leave, while a handful stay next to her . She can’t give up . Looking at the steward, she says, “They’ve gone in, and I’m not in any danger . I want to go in and take a look . ”
“No, madame!” Steward Han immediately runs to her side, leaving the bodyguards by the entrance . He trails behind her as she walks down the alley .
The alley is narrow, but long, limiting the light pouring in . The bodyguard behind her takes out a flashlight and illuminates the path before them . The ground is wet, and as they walk, the scent of blood gets stronger .
As they go in deeper, a couple of flashlights point their way .
“Who’s there?!” Someone shouts out loud .
“It’s us!” Steward Han shouts in reply . An Chuxia snatches the flashlight from the bodyguard and takes several steps forward . Steward Han follows her, fearing she’ll hurt herself .
She hightails to the end of the alley . Finally, she realizes why the scent of blood is thick . Four beggars lie on the ground, each bearing a gunshot wound to his head . More than likely, silencers were used . Otherwise, she would’ve heard the sound, right?
“Don’t, don’t come… . ” An Chuxia follows the voice . In the damp corner, she sees Lila, shivering . It looks like the beggars tore her clothes . She can see the wound Han Qilu inflicted on her forehead .
“Miss Xia?” A puzzled bodyguard looks at her . Did she ask him… to take off his clothes?
Trying to suppress the urge to vomit **, An Chuxia clumsily undresses the bodyguard . His buttons are secured too tightly! At the end, she wipes her hands on her pants . “Undress yourself!”
The bodyguard automatically looks at the calm steward . Steward Han realizes her intent . He raises his hand, and orders with dignity, “Do what the lady tells you to do . ”
What can he do? The bodyguard bites the bullet and takes off his coat . He hands it to An Chuxia and watches her take his coat to the corner where a girl is huddled . He awkwardly puts his hands down . It seems like he was over-thinking her intentions at that time .
She drapes the coat over Lila’s shoulders . An Chuxia says to her softly, “Lila, you’ll be alright . Just relax . You’ll be fine . ”
