Chapter 189 Shi Hui comes to the rescue
Su Mei, who had been lifting the curtain to watch the coachman, couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the masked man in black jumping out from behind the coachman. Before she could shout, the coachman was knocked unconscious by the man in black.
When Sumei saw the coachman fall to the ground, her heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help swallowing.
Seeing the man in black throwing away the stick and walking towards her, she pretended to be calm and shouted, "You bold lunatic, do you know who I am? How dare you be so rude?"
The man in black still walked towards Sumei calmly. After he laughed coldly, he took out a dagger from his waist and unsheathed it.
When Su Mei saw this, she was startled. She immediately realized the man's purpose. She quickly walked out of the carriage, pulled the reins, and wanted to ride the horse over.
Her action was quickly noticed by the man in black. Before she could swing the reins, the man in black rushed over, snatched the reins, and then swung them, leaving Su Mei empty-handed.
Su Mei didn't just stand there stupidly. She quickly jumped off the carriage and tried to run back.
As a result, he had only run two steps before he was kicked heavily to the ground by the man in black.
Su Mei, who was lying on the ground, did not hesitate. She propped herself up, prepared to stand up and continue running.
Seeing this, the man in black raised his left foot and stepped on Sumei's back, making Sumei unable to move instantly.
Su Mei, who was under control, finally panicked at this moment.
"Please spare my life, sir. Do you want money? I'll give it to you." Su Mei tried to negotiate with the man in black.
The man in black slowly squatted down and put the dagger to Su Mei's neck.
"Madam Su Mei, I am the one who was ordered to take your life. When you get there, please don't resent me."
As soon as the cold dagger touched Sumei's neck, she was instantly so frightened that her whole body went hairy and her voice trembled.
"Yes, who wants to kill me? Who is it?"
"You don't need to know this. Prepare to die." The man in black said coldly, and then prepared to take action.
Su Mei felt hopeless and knew that she was powerless to change the situation. She had no choice but to close her eyes and accept the fact.
At the critical moment, suddenly, a dart landed accurately on the back of the black-clad man's hand.
The man in black suddenly felt pain and screamed.
"what--"
Then, the dagger in his hand naturally fell to the ground.
The man in black looked around habitually, wondering who was plotting against him?
Su Mei, who had her eyes closed, heard the shouts of the man in black. She quickly opened her eyes and looked around, wanting to know what was going on.
After taking a quick look, he saw a tall figure walking towards him on his right. When he looked closely, it was Shi Hui.
Su Mei couldn't help but frown. Seeing that it was His Royal Highness Prince Yan's men, she panicked and felt even more uneasy.
When the man in black saw that it was Shi Hui, his eyes widened instantly, with a hint of fear in them. After he came to his senses, he did not hesitate. Even though his right hand was in pain, he still insisted on picking up the dagger that had fallen on the ground and loosening his foot that was stepping on Su Mei.
While Shi Hui was not approaching him, he quickly ran away in the opposite direction.
After a while, the figure disappeared.
Shi Hui saw the man in black "fleeing" quickly and wanted to chase him, but when he saw Su Mei lying on the ground alone, he hesitated for a moment and gave up.
He walked quickly to Sumei, stretched out his hand, and wanted to help Sumei up, but when he thought of his inappropriate status, he retracted his hands.
"Mrs. Sumei, are you okay?" Shi Hui asked with concern.
When Su Mei saw the man in black leave, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the thought that she had actually escaped death.
Then she wanted to get up, but because she was too scared just now, her whole body was weak. She supported herself with her hands, but failed to stand up after trying twice.
Shi Hui felt a little distressed when he saw this. Seeing that there was no one around, he decided to reach out and help Su Mei up.
As soon as he saw Su Mei standing firm, Shi Hui tactfully let go of her hand and kept a certain distance.
When Su Mei saw that Shi Hui looked like a gentleman, her previous worries disappeared completely, and she bowed to Shi Hui.
"Thank you, Lord Shi Hui, for your help and saving my life. Su Mei would like to thank Lord Shi Hui here." Su Mei said respectfully.
Seeing that Su Mei's face and clothes were covered with dust, Shi Hui's first reaction was to reach out and help wipe it off. But when he actually stretched out his hand, he immediately realized that he was being "reckless" and quickly retracted his hand.
When he looked at Su Mei, he saw that Su Mei was looking at him with puzzled eyes. He quickly avoided her gaze and looked towards the carriage.
"Madam Sumei, it's not safe here and you shouldn't stay here for long. You'd better get on the carriage quickly and I'll take you back." Shi Hui changed the subject and said guiltily.
Su Mei saw all of Shi Hui's looks and actions. Su Mei, who was used to "big scenes", quickly understood Shi Hui's thoughts, and she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly.
She began to tremble and looked like she was about to fall down at any moment. She bit her lip and choked.
"When I think of the moment when the criminal put the dagger on my neck, I am still terrified. If Lord Shi Hui hadn't arrived by chance, I would have died here. Lord Shi Hui, thank you so much."
As soon as she finished speaking, the tears in Su Mei's eyes began to flow down her face drop by drop.
Shi Hui looked at Su Mei, who was crying bitterly, and was instantly at a loss for what to do.
"I just, just, happened to pass by..." Shi Hui could only find some excuse to cover up his inner panic.
Seeing Shi Hui's nervous look, Su Mei shook her body a few times and deliberately fell towards Shi Hui.
When Shi Hui saw this, he was afraid that Su Mei would fall to the ground, so he hurriedly supported Su Mei's arm.
"Mrs. Sumei, are you okay?" Shi Hui asked with concern.
Seeing Shi Hui supporting her, Su Mei was secretly delighted. In order to increase her strength, she deliberately said weakly: "I didn't, I didn't..."
Having said this, Su Mei rolled her eyes, fainted, and fell naturally into Shi Hui's arms.
Shi Hui was dumbfounded. After a while, he shouted to Su Mei, "Mrs. Su Mei, what's wrong with you? Wake up."
After shouting for a while and seeing no response from Su Mei, he picked up Su Mei, put her into the car, and let her sit against the body of the car.
As the carriage was too low, Shi Hui sat down naturally, next to Su Mei.
Only at this moment did Shi Hui dare to look at Su Mei "openly".
Seeing that there were still tears on Su Mei's face, he thought that Su Mei had lost consciousness, so he reached out his hand and helped Su Mei wipe away her tears.
Su Mei, who was pretending to faint, really felt this action. She was full of doubts, but she did not react.
After Shi Hui wiped the tears from Su Mei's face, he did not put his hands down immediately. Instead, he stayed on her face for a while before slowly putting them down.
He looked at Su Mei's "beautiful" face and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Even though the sound was very faint, Su Mei still heard it. She was very puzzled by Shi Hui's abnormal behavior.
"How could you leave the Prince of Lu's mansion alone? Don't you know there are many people who want to kill you?"
Shi Hui couldn't help but whisper to Su Mei.
