Chapter 485: Chapter 485: The Smell of Conspiracy
"It’s me." Ning Xixi let out a heavy sigh.
Her heart felt as if a scar was being viciously torn apart, it hurt so much...
That time that neither she nor Ji Yebai had ever brought up, that time she chased after Gong Xiu, thinking back, it filled her with remorse for Ji Yebai.
Back then, she understood nothing, but by then, Ji Yebai had already fallen for her.
She never understood the true feelings hidden beneath his haughty façade and kept hurting him over and over again.
Dong Yingluo said with regret, "Think about it, he never really hated that girl. He’d criticize her faults but wouldn’t let Jinsheng say a word against her; Ning Xixi, he must have really liked you, cared a lot about you."
Ning Xixi remained silent.
Knowing she had hit a sore point, Dong Yingluo continued, "I’ll never forget the sight of him alone on the rooftop that day, smoking in despair..."
Ning Xixi’s gaze became distant, not daring to conjure that image.
Dong Yingluo smirked to herself and deliberately took a secluded path, while Ning Xixi, lost in thought, failed to notice...
"Hey, two pretty ladies, spare us some money to spend, huh?" A frivolous and ruffian voice snapped Ning Xixi back to reality!
She looked in astonishment as several riffraff surrounded her and Dong Yingluo, telling herself to stay calm! Stay composed!
"We can give you money, just let us go!" she said with a trembling voice.
"Wu wu wu... Xixi..." Dong Yingluo, frightened and shivering, her fragile appearance sent a glint of greed into the men’s eyes.
"I’ve changed my mind, pretty, no need for your money. Let us ’take good care’ of you ladies~"
The slick, greasy voice was very disgusting.
Ning Xixi frantically looked around, but there was not a single passerby in sight, no way to call for help!
Could it be... she and Dong Yingluo were going to be taken advantage of by these thugs...
Unexpectedly, Dong Yingluo charged into one of the men with great force, making him stagger back and opening a gap in their circle.
She pushed Ning Xixi hard:
"Xixi! Run! Don’t worry about me! Go get help!"
Ning Xixi had no time to think of anything else; she knew very well that if she didn’t leave, telling herself ’I can’t abandon you alone’, then both of them would really be doomed!
"Wait for me!" She ran for her life, calling Ji Yebai on her phone... and asking for help from passersby...
...
Hospital.
Seeing the words "Erxi" on the screen, Ji Yebai furrowed his brows and answered the phone as quickly as he could.
After clearly understanding the situation from Ning Xixi’s brief explanation, he instructed calmly:
"Run to a place with more people first, I’m sending someone right away!"
He gestured to the bodyguards in the shadows and then rushed out of the hospital himself.
-
When he found Ning Xixi, her face was smeared with dirt, her hair disheveled and draped over her shoulders, her eyes filled with terror, clutching his clothes, "Did you find Dong Yingluo?"
"Hmm."
"How is she..."
Ji Yebai comforted her, "She’s fine, don’t worry about it rashly."
In reality, Dong Yingluo’s situation was not good at all.
When his people arrived, Dong Yingluo was reportedly stripped, and one thug had fled amidst the chaos. Dong Yingluo, crying, said they had taken compromising photos of her...
Yet, while the incident appeared deeply moving, Ji Yebai sensed a whiff of conspiracy!
