Chapter 1244 Explain what
She looked down curiously and saw several police cars parked downstairs and a group of policemen getting out of the cars.
She was shocked. Could it be that Cheng Yunchuan called the police to arrest her?
She quickly hid behind the curtains and dared not show up again.
She heard the police shouting Cheng Yunchuan's name downstairs, and then began to search the villa.
She became even more frightened, she didn't know what would happen next.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Cheng Yunchuan walked in, his face looking terribly gloomy.
"The police are here," he said coldly.
Jiang Mubai's heart sank. Was she really going to be captured?
"Yunchuan, I..." She wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.
Cheng Yunchuan interrupted her: "Don't say anything, I know what you want to say."
He walked to the window, looked at the police downstairs, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Looks like we have to play a game."
He turned around and looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes filled with dangerous light.
"Xiaobai, are you ready for the challenge?"
Cheng Yunchuan stood quietly by the window, looking at the busy police downstairs with a smile. He was wearing a well-cut black shirt with his cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing a well-defined wrist.
He tapped the window frame gently, as if everything was under control, but there was a hint of danger in his slightly narrowed eyes.
Jiang Mubai was locked in the room by him. Looking at his casual back, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be controlled.
She clutched the quilt with both hands, her throat dry, and finally spoke: "Cheng Yunchuan, what do you want to do?"
Her voice was a little cautious, yet still as calm as usual.
When he heard her voice, he paused, turned around slowly, with an unfathomable smile on his lips.
He took two steps, walked in front of her, and looked down at her. Jiang Mubai took a step back and hit the wall, with nowhere to retreat.
"What do I want to do?"
Cheng Yunchuan leaned over, close to her face, and said in a low, seductive voice: "I want to protect you. But, do you think you need the police's concern?"
Jiang Mubai suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the handsome face so close to her. Her heart couldn't help but tighten. She tried to stay calm and moved her lips slightly: "These policemen are not coming for me, right?"
Cheng Yunchuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile, as if every expression of hers was under his control, even her breathing could not escape his observation.
"Who knows?"
He laughed softly, the corners of his eyes slightly raised: "But since they broke in here, I think we should cooperate with them. What do you think, Xiaobai?"
"You're really crazy." Jiang Mubai gritted her teeth, trying to squeeze out a little safe space around this dangerous man, but his hands were already on the wall beside her, trapping her in his breath.
She could smell the faint scent of woody perfume on him, which was the cool scent he always liked. Just like him, he was gentle yet distant.
Cheng Yunchuan suddenly leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Who do you think is crazy, Xiaobai? Is it me, or those guys who may rush upstairs at any time?"
Jiang Mubai's eyes trembled, and she had an uneasy feeling in her heart. He was clearly prepared, but why did he let the police knock on the door? This was too strange.
"What exactly have you planned?" Jiang Mubai stared into Cheng Yunchuan's eyes and asked in a low voice. Her tone was no longer as calm as before, but was mixed with a hint of real doubt and fear.
Cheng Yunchuan did not answer immediately. He took out a thin cigarette from his bag and put it in his mouth without lighting it.
He leaned against the window and said nonchalantly: "Xiao Bai, you are so smart, can't you guess it? I was a bait for those people. Well, to be precise, it was a show."
Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly. Was Cheng Yunchuan treating her as a tool? But before she could think about it, Cheng Yunchuan had already walked quickly to the door of the room. He turned around and looked at her with a complicated look, which was like a warning and pity.
"No matter what happens, there is no need to explain, understand?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and solemn, leaving no room for negotiation.
After saying that, he locked the door from the outside. Jiang Mubai rushed to the door and tried to push it but found that it didn't move at all. The familiar feeling of being imprisoned made her feel depressed.
At this moment, downstairs in the villa, loud footsteps were approaching, and the police had already poured in from the porch.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Jiang Mubai felt that every minute and every second was like a torture.
Just as she was secretly thinking about how to break through, a clear gunshot suddenly came from downstairs. Her pupils suddenly shrank and her face turned pale.
No matter how calm and experienced she had been before, this sudden situation caught her off guard.
"Cheng Yunchuan!" She could hardly help but whisper his name.
But there was still no response from all around.
Her breathing quickened and she dug her fingernails into her palms, but she didn't dare to act rashly. Several policemen outside the window had already reached the secret area and were talking in low voices on walkie-talkies.
The faint sound of the wind sent some fragmented information into Jiang Mubai's ears. She deliberately slowed down her breathing and put her ear close to the window sill, trying to hear more. But in an instant, she caught a faint sentence: "Cheng Yunchuan may be suspected of illegal possession of firearms. Surround him first."
She was stunned, having never expected that this man whom she knew so well could be involved in these secrets.
Just as she was stunned, the door was suddenly interrupted by the sound of a key turning gently, and then a tall figure walked in again.
"You've made yourself so nervous, like a cat that has lost its direction, Xiaobai. It's too easy for you to expose your weaknesses."
Cheng Yunchuan walked up to her, peeled off her clenched fingers one by one, and then gently covered them with his broad palm. His voice was like low-alcohol wine: "Don't worry, the game is still under my control."
Cheng Yunchuan's palm was burning, like a gentle yet threatening net, tightly covering Jiang Mubai's hand.
He lowered his eyes and looked at her. His seemingly gentle gaze carried a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.
He was like a dormant beast, expertly disguising himself as harmless, while his prey was already trapped in his territory.
Jiang Mubai struggled twice, but found that the force was as suffocating as iron.
She raised her eyes, a hint of coldness appeared in her clear eyes, but her tone was deliberately calm: "Cheng Yunchuan, I think you should know that you owe me an explanation."
Cheng Yunchuan curled the corners of his mouth, and that half-smile expression seemed a bit evil in the dim room.
He lowered his head slightly and moved closer, so close that Jiang Mubai could almost feel the coolness in his breath.
"Explain? Are you referring to the gunshots downstairs, or the illegal possession of firearms mentioned by those people just now?"
