Chapter 42 A Warning

Who was she and why did she replace my medicine?

Shen Yue had a youthful appearance and seemed to be quite young. I was sure that I didn't know her. I took a step forward and got closer to Shen Yue, and questioned her in a cold tone, "Did you replace my vitamins?"

"Vitamins?" Shen Yue was taken aback and frowned, looking at me in confusion.

She blinked her eyes blankly and repeated my words. She looked at me as if suspecting something. After a full minute, she shook her head. "No, I didn't replace your vitamins. It was Xie Yan. A person like Xie Yan needs pure blood."

What did this have to do with blood?

I wanted to ask Shen Yue what she was talking about. Suddenly, my wrist tightened as Shen Yue grabbed it. She pulled me forcefully in front of her. A cold glint flashed, and a knife landed on my wrist.

Shen Yue lowered her head, and her long black eyelashes covered her eyes. There was a chill emanating from her that made me want to back away.

It wasn't a cold day, but I just felt a chill down my back. When Shen Yue wasn't paying attention, I suddenly pulled my wrist out of her hand.

I quickly walked to the door and opened it. I said coldly to Shen Yue, "If you're not here to make a purchase, please leave immediately."

Shen Yue still kept her head lowered. After being stunned for a moment, she realized that my hand had been pulled away. She frowned and looked at me with some confusion. A cold glint suddenly flashed in her dark gray eyes.

The next second, she quickly walked up to me, raised the knife, and stabbed at me. I reacted and dodged in a hurry, but Shen Yue grabbed my wrist again.

The knife with a cold glint landed on my wrist. Shen Yue looked at my wrist where the blood vessels were showing and her eyes suddenly became obsessed. She murmured something.

I didn't hear it. I lowered my head again and listened carefully. Only then did I find that she was saying, "I can finally have you completely. It doesn't matter if there's a little incident. Anyway, you'll be mine in the future."

Shen Yue's tone of voice was low and stiff, completely different from the fluent and proud tone when she first entered the door.

The tip of the knife landed on my wrist. The cold touch made me tense up instantly. My heart was beating faster and faster. I tried to pull my wrist out, but it was held even tighter.

I couldn't let my wrist be cut like this.

Thinking of this, I endured my fear and asked Shen Yue, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"I want your blood." Shen Yue lowered her head and said blankly.

I didn't understand why she had to have my blood. The knife moved down inch by inch, and the pain instantly stimulated me. I turned my head and shouted towards the outside, "Help! Help!"

At this time, the sun was blazing, and it was sweltering outside. There were no other

people on the street except the office workers who were hurrying on their way.

My voice disappeared on the road. The sharp pain made my body start to feel cold. Just then, suddenly the door of the store was crashed open, and I saw Xie Yan rush in.

As soon as he entered the door, he kicked Shen Yue, who was cutting my wrist.

With a thud.

Shen Yue was kicked several meters away. She covered her chest in pain and gasped for breath. In the second I was stunned, Xie Yan suddenly grabbed my wrist and held me in his arms.

His big hand stroked my back, and his tall and straight body stood in front of me to protect me.

"Xie Yan."

I murmured Xie Yan's name. In a trance, I felt as if this scene had happened countless times, but I just couldn't remember.

"Tell him that my patience is limited."

Xie Yan's tone was cold, full of a warning tone.

I hid behind Xie Yan and gradually felt safe, but there was still some residual fear in my heart. Without realizing it, I grabbed the corner of Xie Yan's clothes and held it tightly until my fingertips hurt.

Looking at the wrinkled corner of the clothes I had grabbed, I quickly let go.

"Call the police." I said with lingering fear.

Xie Yan didn't answer when he heard my words. He just slowly walked up to Shen Yue. His tall body loomed over Shen Yue like a shadow. Shen Yue sensed Xie Yan's presence and suddenly looked up, shaking her head in fear.

"I don't know what I did. I couldn't control my body at all. Brother Xie, I didn't do it on purpose."

Shen Yue's voice was trembling. After she finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and hugged Xie Yan's leg and cried, "I really don't know what's going on. I was staying at home well, and then I suddenly stood up and came here."

I stood at a distance and looked at Shen Yue's appearance and sighed silently.

I knew that I had softened my heart again. But since I wasn't hurt, there was no need to pursue it further. "Xie Yan."

I called out softly. Xie Yan slowly turned his head. The cold corners of his eyes suddenly softened a bit. His thin lips opened as if he wanted to say something, but at the moment he was about to speak, he swallowed his words back.

"How about..."

I hesitated and wanted to plead for Shen Yue, but before I could finish my words, Xie Yan suddenly bent down and grabbed Shen Yue's wrist. There was a six-pointed star pattern printed on Shen Yue's fair skin.

Was it a tattoo?

I was standing far away and didn't see it clearly. I turned my eyes to look, and then I heard Xie Yan suddenly lower his voice and ask Shen Yue, "You still say you don't know? If you don't know, how can he control you?"

What did that mean?

I was confused by Xie Yan's words. Could a tattoo make someone be controlled?

Also, who on earth were they talking about?

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, a burst of laughter woke up my train of thought. I saw Shen Yue let go of

Xie Yan's leg casually, and then slowly got up from the ground and stood in front of Xie Yan. Her dark gray eyes looked at Xie Yan calmly.

"Xie Yan, she's useless now. I deliberately gave her those medicines. Even the master wants to test her blood. What do you still want her for?"

Who were they talking about this time?

I looked at Xie Yan and Shen Yue, not understanding what was going on. Suddenly, the words "test" and "Shen Yue" flashed through my mind.

They were talking about me.

Why did they want to test my blood?

What did it have to do with the expired vitamins that were replaced?

All kinds of doubts made me walk up to Xie Yan. I didn't know why, but as soon as I got close to Xie Yan, I felt that my heart rate had calmed down a lot.

Xie Yan noticed my approach and took a small step back. The distance between us instantly shortened. Xie Yan turned his head and looked at me.

"It's okay, Mianmian. You can go and rest for a while. I'll deal with this."

"How are you going to deal with it?" I asked without thinking.

"Just kill me!"

Shen Yue suddenly spoke up. She turned her head to look at me and then pointed at the window and said, "Gu Mian, look back at that person. He was killed by Xie Yan. If it wasn't for me and the master who found out in time, he would be rotten by now."

I looked in the direction Shen Yue pointed. I didn't know when a man was standing outside the window.

He was so strange?

The man was wearing tattered and filthy clothes. When he was standing, he didn't use his feet but his ankles. He was standing in the distance with his head tilted and looking at me with a dull gaze.

This person's mental state should not be normal.

"Is he with you too?" I asked Shen Yue.

Shen Yue was taken aback when she heard this and asked me in disbelief, "Xu Qiang died because of you, and you actually forgot about it."
