Chapter 158 Rainstorm
"Then you mean that man has a problem with the old man?"

Su Baiyi no longer dared to speak loudly and communicated with Zhou Shu in a breathy tone.

Zhou Shu shook his head: "That's not entirely true. The old lady is very nice, and she told us to leave as soon as possible tomorrow. And she acted like she was threatened by that man."

Su Baiyi was frightened, and her face turned pale: "Then you mean, is it really possible that this man was the murderer?"

Zhou Shu shook his head again: "No, I don't think it's the murderer. That person..."

She paused for a moment, as if to express her words: "I can't figure out that man, but he shouldn't be the murderer."

Although there was no evidence, Zhou Shu had an inexplicable intuition. If she really wanted to explain, she couldn't say anything.

Su Baiyi frowned and thought for a long time, and comforted softly: "Shu Shu, are we overthinking it? Since this person is not a murderer, maybe he is just an ordinary villager. Huo Jingtong may have given the wrong address. What’s up?”

"Besides, as long as it's not a murderer, it's okay if we stay for one night and then leave. I think this uncle is not very friendly to us. Maybe he just doesn't like having strangers at home, so his attitude is a bit worse."

Zhou Shu frowned: "Then how do you explain his contradiction?"

"Then...it's normal for an old man to not remember what he said as he gets older."

Su Baiyi nodded heavily and decided that this was the case.

"Okay, go to bed early, conserve your energy and leave tomorrow. You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep over there."

Zhou Shu didn't give Su Baiyi a chance to refuse, so he walked to the side and lay down on the small bed.

Su Baiyi's bed was also a small bed. It was too crowded for two people to sleep in. Zhou Shu was not used to such close contact with others.

She tidied up the small bed herself, and her thoughts were a little confused.

Zhou Shu thought about many possibilities. If Huo Jingtong gave the wrong address, let's talk about it differently.

But if it's true, maybe this person was also one of the participants back then, so he took the money and ran to this place just to hide his eyes from others and live a stable life.

Or maybe he was really the driver of the Li family, but he caused the death of his parents.

Does this have anything to do with the Li family?
It can only prove that this man is not a good person. She can just take Su Baiyi away at dawn tomorrow.

Zhou Shu secretly rejoiced when she thought of these possibilities. Perhaps she was not even aware of this joyful emotion, and all she thought about was the possibility that the Li family was innocent.

With such happiness and listening to the patter of rain outside the window, Zhou Shu slowly closed his eyes.

In the middle of the night, the rain became heavier and heavier, and there was even thunder.

There was lightning and thunder outside, and the thunder that flashed from time to time illuminated the scene in the room for a moment.

Zhou Shu and Zhou Shu were probably really tired and fell asleep deeply. The only sound in the room was the sound of rain coming from outside and their steady breathing.

However, neither of them noticed that just outside the room, there was a pair of eyes staring intently into the room.

He looked left and right and saw clearly the positions of the two people in the room.

Su Baiyi had a nightmare and broke into a cold sweat. The uneasiness in her heart became more and more amplified.

At the same time, a thunder sounded, and Su Baiyi suddenly woke up from his dream and sat up.

She closed her eyes and gasped for air. She was still unable to open her eyes because of sleepiness, but her heart was beating fast and she was still thinking about the terrible nightmare.

After finally calming down a bit, Su Baiyi yawned and rubbed her eyes to look at the sky outside the window.

But who knew that through the light shining in from the lightning, Su Baiyi actually saw a figure. He was holding an ax high in his hand, standing next to the bed.

Su Baiyi's breath suffocated and she subconsciously screamed.

Turning to look at Zhou Shu who was sleeping soundly, why did he sleep so deeply today!
"Zhou Shu! Wake up! Zhou Shu! Zhou Shu..." The man seemed to have noticed that Su Baiyi was awake, and immediately struck at her with an axe.

Zhou Shu slept too deeply and did not wake up even in this situation. Su Baiyi's hands and feet became weak. She, a young lady, had never faced such a battle.

The moment the man's ax was about to hit the bed, Su Baiyi fell down the bed, and she fell off the bed.

The pain that came from her body brought Su Baiyi back to her senses instantly, and she woke up completely. She called Zhou Shu's name desperately.

But he didn't dare to get close, for fear that this person would target Zhou Shu.

Su Baiyi turned around and luckily saw a big iron rod under the bed.

At the same time, the man's ax struck the bed so viciously that the ax was embedded in it.

Su Baiyi took this opportunity to quickly pull out the iron rod. The solid iron rod was very heavy.

She desperately used all her strength and hit the man's back hard. The man was pulling out the axe, and Su Baiyi's strength made him stagger.

The next moment, the man who calmed down forcefully pulled out the axe, slowly turned his head towards Su Baiyi, and showed a scary and terrifying smile.

Su Baiyi's heart was filled with coldness. Oh my God, why did he let himself encounter something like this that only happened in movies?
She prayed silently and waved the big iron rod desperately to prevent the man from getting close.

Perhaps the rain tonight was too heavy and could cover up a lot of movement. Su Baiyi's voice was hoarse from shouting, but Zhou Shu still had no intention of opening his eyes.

"Zhou Shu!"

Su Baiyi could only turn around and concentrate on dealing with the man.

"Don't come here! I won't show mercy."

The man was silent, dragging the ax slowly forward. The iron rod could not affect him at all.

He struck the ax hard on the iron rod, and the vibration of the iron rod instantly made Su Baiyi let go of his hand.

"It hurts!" She cried out in pain as tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

But before Su Baiyi could react, the man in front of him raised his ax high again. Seeing his movement, Su Baiyi reacted faster and got behind the man in an instant.

While the man was confused, she kicked him hard on the back.

How could a young lady like Su Baiyi know how to fight? She just fought with this man based on her nature.

It's just that the difference in physical strength between men and women is too big and cannot be easily offset by Su Baiyi. She can only hide while fighting with this man.

Su Baiyi is small and quite flexible.

He actually made her hide several times, and the man suddenly lost his patience.

His eyes turned to Zhou Shu on the other side. The person on the bed was sleeping deeply, unaware of everything happening around him.

The man chuckled, and his terrifying face instantly turned to Zhou Shu.

He raised the ax and headed straight towards Zhou Shu. Su Baiyi's eyes widened in horror. She rushed up and hugged the man's waist, trying to shake her away.

While shouting desperately: "Zhou Shu! Wake me up quickly!"

She wished she could rush up and give Zhou Shu two slaps to wake him up.

But the man used a little force and slammed Su Baiyi's body into the carton at the back. Su Baiyi was so painful that she felt dizzy.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man's ax was aimed at Zhou Shu again.
