Chapter 28 (2/2)

Shen Chen looked around at the other people and said calmly, “In ten minutes, we will have a meeting.”

Then, the four men left the living room. The living room suddenly turned quiet. Lin Qianqian took a deep breath and said angrily, “Li Qi is dying. Zhao Ze is beaten so badly. What are they doing out there? Do they want to get rid of us? If they carry on like this, our girls are doomed. Do you think they treat us as human beings?”

Zhang Xiaoya thought of Zhao Zhen’s words, swallowed, and said, “We’ll know what’s going on in ten minutes in the meeting. Calm down first!”

“What’s the matter with you? It’s obvious that Li Qi was used as a decoy, so he died. Zhao Ze must have been beaten by Shen Chen!” said Lin Qianqian angrily.

“Maybe it’s not like that,” Zhang Xiaoya said. It was normally hard for her to have an opinion.

“Think about it. If what I said is true, what shall we do? Who will be the new decoy tomorrow? Her? Or her? Or the kid? You’ve all seen Zhao Ze’s bloody nose and swollen face. It’s just because Shen Chen doesn’t like him,” Lin Qianqian growled in a low voice.

“But what if it’s not like what you say? What if everything is just a misunderstanding. Last time you blamed Shen Chen, but it wasn’t his fault at all,” Zhang Xiaoya said timidly. Considering her soft character, it was a great breakthrough for her to be able to say such a thing to Lin Qianqian.

“Misunderstanding? You tell me it’s a misunderstanding?” Lin Qianqian threw her head back and laughed out loud, then she pointed at Zhang Xiaoya and said, “Of course you’re not bothered. Of course you’re not afraid. Your boyfriend is Zhao Zhen, Shen Chen’s loyal dog. You two lick Shen Chen’s shoes!”

Bang! There was a sharp sound in the room! Everyone froze in an instant!

Lin Qianqian looked at Ye Xiaoyu in great shock and said with a trembling voice, “You hit me. Do you know who I am?”

Ye Xiaoyu looked at Lin Qianqian with disdain. She came in front of Lin Qianqian and said with a sneer, “What got you so excited? What are you howling about? Zhao Zhen’s girlfriend is speaking now. Show some respect.”

Lin Qianqian repeated in shock, “How dare you hit me! You hit me!”

Ye Xiaoyu said fiercely, “What’s wrong with hitting you? So what? You talk bullsh*t all day long. If I were Shen Chen, I wouldn’t even save you. By the way, you must see it clearly. The reason why you’re here is because of your boyfriend Pan Di, not Zhao Ze!”

Li Jing looked at the three people arguing with each other. She sighed. She shook her head and walked to Zhang Hongtao, the only man in the living room. She cautiously looked at the three girls and made sure that they didn’t notice her. Then, she lowered her voice and said, “Zhang, we are the only outsiders in this room. What do you think?”

Zhang Hongtao looked at the smart girl in front of him and sighed, then patted his son’s head gently and said, “Duoduo, go back to the room and play.”

They watched the little boy leave, then Zhang Hongtao breathed a sigh of relief. His face suddenly changed. He looked at Li Jing and asked without emotion, “What do you mean?”

Li Jing suddenly felt that she was very familiar with the man in front of her. His look was like that of a very ambitious adventurer. She couldn’t help but look at Zhang Hongtao a few times, then she clenched her fist and said, “I think it’s necessary for us to listen to Shen Chen about what happened today. Then, we can make our plan. If Li Qi’s death and Zhao Ze’s injury today really happened for a reason, it’s acceptable, but if it’s really like what Lin Qianqian said…”

Zhang Hongtao nodded solemnly. He looked at the smart girl in front of him and said, “In ten minutes, we will decide if we stay or not. But…” Zhang Hongtao’s eyes showed that he was firmly convinced. “I don’t think he is a bad man.”

Li Jing smiled thoughtfully and added, “Maybe.”

Then, she held out her hand to him and said, “We can form a temporary alliance. After all, we are the only two outsiders!”

Zhang Hongtao hesitated for a moment, then extended his hand.
