After hanging up the phone, Teresa breathed a sigh of relief. Enrique's voice sounded hoarse, but he
should be fine.
Or maybe it was because of what happened recently that he didn't sleep well. Well, it should be like
this.
"Sir, thank you for lending the phone to us. We are leaving now."
"Well, it doesn't matter. If you have time, you can come here and have a chat with us..."
Teresa thanked the landlord and helped Jerome back to their own room. There was nothing in the
room, no TV or computer. The two could only stay together and look at each other.
Teresa was so bored that she bent over the window and saw the small yard of the landlord and the
landlady. There was even an earth stove in the yard.
Teresa was bending over there with curiosity. At this time, the landlady happened to have a basket in
her left hand and an old hen in her right hand.
When she turned around and shouted at the landlord, the landlord came out with a pot and a large
basin in his hand. It seemed that she was going to kill the hen to cook the chicken soup.
Teresa smiled. The two of them looked so happy. In fact, she also hoped that there was such a man
could accompany her for the rest of her life.
Jerome beside looked at Teresa, who was happy for a while and then suddenly sighed for a while. He
smiled and thought, 'Right now, Abby gets along with me so natural. She doesn't hide her real feelings
anymore. It's so good...'
"Abby..."
"What?"
Teresa turned her head to look at Jerome, only to see that Jerome was smiling. His warm look did not
change at all, just as in the past. If he was not the CEO of the Gu Group, Jerome might live a more
casual life.
At this time, Teresa's face changed. He leaned over the window and saw two bodyguards in black
coming in and talking to the landlady.
"Brother, they are coming? What should we do?"
"Don't worry. Let's wait and see..."
Downstairs, in the courtyard, two bodyguards gave the photos of Teresa and Jerome to the landlord
and the landlady.
"Have you ever seen these two people?"
"What? This is..."
"These two people look familiar. Wait a minute. Let me have a look. I am a little presbyopic..."
When the landlady was about to say something, the landlord took over the two photos from the
bodyguards and looked at them again and again. He frowned slightly.
"These two people look so familiar. Where have I met them before? Oh, I can't remember..."
"Ah, that's all right."
The bodyguard in black took the photo from the landlord's hand and looked at his colleague beside
him. Then they turned around and left. The landlady was trembling.
"My lady, what are you doing? I said I would have chicken soup at noon. Hurry up and call our son
later. When will that bastard come back with his grandson? He is just an ungrateful wolf. We have
raised him for so long, and he doesn't want us after he gets married."
The landlord began to nag and urge the landlady. The landlady squatted down, waiting for his husband
to kill the hen. Only after that could she put it in the hot water basin.
The two bodyguards stopped at the door for a while and then left. The landlady was frightened to sit in
the yard, with her face pale and her hands trembling slightly.
"Old... Old man..."
"Don't ask, and don't make any noise. That girl is a good girl..."
"But, but..."
But when she saw the two bodyguards just now, she thought in her heart did she really guess right at
the beginning? Did the young lady really kill her own husband and elope with her lover?
The landlord knew what was going on in his wife's heart, but he didn't want to point it out. He just
warned her.
"I'm telling you, keep your mouth shut these two days, or you'll get yourself into trouble. I can't
guarantee... Do you hear me?"
"Okay, I know."
The landlady was really scared this time. She rent her room to a murderer. There was a murderer in
their own house. What should she do? How about kicking them out? But what if the two of them were
irritated?
Oh, no, she couldn't kick them out. How about calling the police? Although she answered her
husband's words, her heart couldn't help trembling.
It took a long time for the chicken soup to be ready. At noon, the landlady had cooked a few simple
dishes, but she didn't dare to send them to Teresa and Jerome by herself. She had to find an excuse
and let her husband send them.
When the landlord came, it was Teresa who opened the door. She ushered the landlord into the room.
And he put the dishes on the table.
"You two enjoy your meal. I'll come and get the plates later."
"Thank you, sir!"
Teresa knew that the reason why those bodyguards didn't come here was that they were sent away by
the landlord. Otherwise, how could they be so safe?
"Well, as I said, you are a good girl. I'm very accurate in judging people. I don't dare to say anything
about who is a bad person and who is a good person. But since you two live here, you are my family.
Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you. By the way, I'll bring you the chicken soup to you
tonight..."
"Thank you. Sir. Thank you."
The landlord waved his hand, turned around and left. Teresa's eyes were red. Sure enough, there were
many good people in the world. After the landlord left, Jerome's eyes were deep.
"Teresa. I think we should leave as soon as possible. This place is not safe anymore."
"Why? Didn't they just come here? And..."
"You just know their expression and words, but you don't know their heart. Even if that gentleman is
kind, can you guarantee that the landlady won't tell anyone about what happened here?"
"So we..."
"Go to the police station..."
"What?"
"That place is the only safe place now. We don't know when Enrique will be able to come here. It's not
safe here. Let's go quickly..."
"Okay..."
When Teresa was about to help Jerome to get up together, the landlord came in again in a hurry. He
directly pulled Teresa and Jerome.
"You two, come with me to the storage room to hide."
The landlord directly pulled the two people, rolled up all their things, and quickly took them to a dark
storage room in a corner of the yard. And threw them in.
The bodyguards in black, who had returned, came again, but they didn't see the old man and the old
lady in the courtyard. Only the chicken soup was still stewed on the small earth stove.
"Ouch, why are you back?"
Coincidentally, when they entered the house, the landlord came downstairs with a bowl in his hand. His
mouth was oily. The leader of the bodyguards was a woman. She sneered.
"You said you have seen these two people? Where have you seen them before?"
"I just told him that they looked familiar, but I really can't remember where I have seen them..."
"Will you still not want to tell me?"
The lead woman took the lead and shot the bowl in the landlord's hand. The bowl was broken and his
hand was bleeding. When the landlady heard the noise, she saw her husband's hand bleeding.
