Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Assassin Attack!

Qiu Qianyu warned Jiang Chuan sternly but with a feigned bravado while taking the opportunity to brandish a pair of scissors in her hand before tucking them under her pillow.

Jiang Chuan found it amusing. With his skills, not to mention just a pair of scissors, even if someone had an AK47 pointed at his head, he wouldn't be afraid!

Jiang Chuan was confident that he could disarm Qiu Qianyu of her scissors in 0.03 seconds, perhaps even less, and pin her down on the bed.

Of course, he would only do that to an enemy. When it came to his wife, he wouldn't use such violent means.

After all, women are meant to be cherished, and wives are to be loved!

So, Jiang Chuan had plenty of ways to deal with Qiu Qianyu.

Jiang Chuan smiled gently and said to Qiu Qianyu, "Don't worry, I won't have any improper thoughts about you. Only an uncivilized man would do such a thing. I will make you gradually fall in love with me, and then willingly come to my embrace..."

"I advise you to give up on that idea; it is absolutely impossible!"

Qiu Qianyu sneered coldly, her anger causing her bosom to tremble slightly.

She could never voluntarily seek out Jiang Chuan. A man like him, slick-tongued and brutish, was someone Qiu Qianyu could never possibly like in her lifetime!

With a heart full of unease, Qiu Qianyu carefully checked the placement of the scissors again, ensuring she could draw them at a moment's notice, and then finally turned off the bedroom's wall lamp.

The room was instantly plunged into darkness, and Qiu Qianyu's anxiety surged.

She would sometimes reach under the pillow to check the scissors, and sometimes turn over to secretly observe Jiang Chuan, afraid he might suddenly pounce on her with ill intentions.

Jiang Chuan found it amusing; unlike Qiu Qianyu, he lay down and fell asleep immediately.

Soon, the sweet sound of snoring happily echoed in the room.

This made it even harder for Qiu Qianyu to fall asleep. Her room had never had a man set foot in it before, let alone sleep beside her and snore.

"Bastard, once I hire a suitable bodyguard tomorrow, I'll kick you out immediately!"

In the darkness, Qiu Qianyu glared angrily at Jiang Chuan, yet her alluring eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.

She closed her eyes, extended her delicate hands, and covered her ears, barely managing to fall asleep.

However—

Just under half an hour after Qiu Qianyu fell asleep, a shadow leapt quietly onto the villa's rooftop.

He lay silently on the rooftop, listening closely to the sounds inside the villa...

Then, drawing a dagger from his waist, he moved lightly and nimbly like a cat, making his way onto the second-floor balcony of the villa.

"They're here! And it's two people this time; it seems they're quite persistent!"

Jiang Chuan mused, wondering whom Qiu Qianyu had offended, causing them to repeatedly send professional killers to take her life.

No answers!

Jiang Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he closely observed the intruder's every move in the darkness.

Soon, the assassin had already infiltrated Qiu Qianyu's bedroom.

Although the bedroom door was locked, for a professional killer, such a lock was nothing but a decoration.

A cold gleam from a knife emerged as the killer approached the bed step by step!

But in the next moment, he noticed the makeshift bed on the floor.

The assassin was momentarily surprised.

This situation wasn't anticipated. He initially thought the couple would be sleeping together, but unexpectedly, there was someone sleeping on the floor.

Of course, this didn't affect the overall plan. He came today to kill Qiu Qianyu, and her husband would be taken care of as a bonus, preventing any exposure.

With that thought, the assassin gripped the dagger tightly and began to advance stealthily towards Jiang Chuan on the floor.

However—

Just at that moment!
