Chapter 341 - 334: Deep Affection, Part 1
Leng Yichen’s gaze was tightly fixed on Bai Yiran, who was being held hostage by Bai Qianyu. "Bai Qianyu, this is your last chance, let Bai Yiran go!"
Bai Qianyu sneered, "Even if I let her go, you won’t let me get away!" Bai Qianyu looked closely at Leng Yichen. If it hadn’t been for that fateful mistake back then, she followed Gu Manli’s advice and went to the Mingjing Hotel, meeting Leng Yichen in the lobby bar instead of snatching Bai Yiran’s boyfriend for temporary pleasure, maybe everything would have been different. Regret is indeed a painful thing. "Leng Yichen, we could have been husband and wife..."
When she was at her lowest, she met Wu Chengzu, thinking he liked her and was playing hard to get. But she never expected Wu Chengzu to treat her as nothing more than a game. When he got tired of it and wanted to throw her away, he even showed up in person. But he wasn’t like that with Bai Yiran.
But now, it’s all too late. She has fallen apart, all she once prided herself on is gone. She once had a good hand, but to compete with Bai Yiran, she stubbornly ruined it.
Bai Qianyu’s words made Leng Yichen feel waves of disgust. His face was grim to the extreme, but fearing his words might provoke her, causing harm to Bai Yiran, Leng Yichen swallowed his revulsion, deliberately approaching slowly to attract Bai Qianyu’s attention.
Bai Qianyu’s eyes were always on Leng Yichen. Seeing him walking towards her, she nervously tightened her grip on the fruit knife in her hand, "Don’t come any closer! Or I’ll really cut her face!"
"Okay, okay!" Leng Yichen stood right in front of Bai Qianyu, raising his hands to show he wouldn’t move a step, "If you have any demands, you can make them, ask for any amount of money, just don’t hurt Bai Yiran."
Leng Yichen’s words left Bai Qianyu heartbroken. What she said next was chilling to everyone, "I don’t want anything, I only want Bai Yiran to die!"
As she spoke, Bai Qianyu raised her arm, pointing the fruit knife at Bai Yiran’s chest. A policeman, seizing the chance while Leng Yichen distracted Bai Qianyu, quietly moved behind her. The moment she raised her arm, he grabbed the hand holding the weapon, quickly subduing Bai Qianyu.
Leng Yichen reached out and pulled Bai Yiran into his embrace. Only when he felt the real presence of the person in his arms did the heart he had been holding up finally settle down.
As Leng Yichen held Bai Yiran and walked away, the curses of Bai Qianyu and Gu Manli continued to echo behind them. Bai Yiran, both physically and mentally exhausted, trembled lightly in his arms.
Feeling the tremor of the person in his embrace, Leng Yichen tightened his hold, gently rubbing her shoulder, "Don’t worry, I promise they will never appear in front of you again."
Bai Yiran nodded, placing her full weight against Leng Yichen. Even when Bai Qianyu had threatened her with a knife moments ago, she hadn’t felt afraid, yet now that everything was settled, her body trembled uncontrollably.
The rest of the matters were left for Leng Yichen to handle. Naturally, Gu Manli and Bai Qianyu couldn’t escape legal consequences, and their accomplices, Li Gang and others, also didn’t avoid imprisonment.
To formally prosecute Bai Qianyu and Gu Manli, the police needed the testimony of the victim, Bai Yiran. After she finished giving her statement at the police station, she saw Bai Qiantong, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time. In two years, he had shed his former unruly charm and now appeared more robust and strong. His once pale face now had a healthy tan, and his once flirtatious eyes had become more resolute.
