Chapter 467 - I Decided to Depend on Him (1/2)

“They killed Ningjing, and my brother came before they could escape. So, they hid themselves. Unfortunately, my brother assumed Ningjing’s asthma attacked her and tried to help but in vain. Seeing it was a good opportunity to frame my brother, Zeng Ziqiang pretended to just come over and accused him of murder. My brother out of fear pleaded Zeng Ziqiang not to call the police.” If so, everything would be reasonable. Shen Yan’s eyes got harsh.

“Otherwise, why should someone change Aunt Jiang’s medicine? Obviously, someone doesn’t want her to recover.” Though Zhou Yan was a little radical, his expertise was trustworthy in Xia Yu’s eyes.

Li Tianci was a desperado, so it was very likely for him to do so. Shen Yan nodded subconsciously because he thought it was indeed worth investigating.

“All right. I’d better go back now. Wanru and her child have been watched by Li Tianci’s underling, Brother Xing, these days. I’m afraid that accidents may befall them.” Xia Yu explained to him, somehow.

But Xia Yu regretted a bit after explaining. Why should she explain it to him? Was it necessary?

As for Shen Yan, he felt contented with her explanation. Though Xia Yu hadn’t forgiven him completely, she still cared about his feelings. The corners of his mouth were lifted with delight spontaneously.

“You take care of yourself, too. Don’t put too much burden on yourself. If anything happens, call me.” Shen Yan thought for a while and added, “It may be too late to call. Considering that they are all desperadoes, we’d better send some people to protect them.”

Shen Yan took out his phone while speaking and sent some messages. Xia Yu didn’t stop him because she thought what Shen Yan said was reasonable. She had suffered a lot from those people, which made her still feel frightened now.

On the way home, Shen Yan said while sending Xia Yu, “Xia Yu, I know we still have many problems between us indeed. But can you leave these personal feelings alone and do me a favor?”

“What is it?” Xia Yu asked.

Shen Yan exhaled and said, “It’s about Jiang Tao and Bai Hong. My brother is really crazy. In order to seek support from Bai Family and Jiang Family, he even plotted to match Bai Hong with Jiang Tao. What’s more, he shot a video and sent it to Bai Family and Jiang Family. As for Jiang Tao, he is willing to be with Bai Hong while she isn’t and has a quarrel with her family now. Can you do Bai Hong a favor, helping her escape from this fate for the moment?”

“You should have told this to Yang Ke’er. They are friends.” Xia Yu was in a dilemma because she was not Bai Hong’s friend and was unfamiliar with her. She wanted to help but she couldn’t.

“You know well that Ke’er and Bai Hong are at odds with each other because of Zhang Peng. So, you’re the most suitable person to help her. You only need to tell her to withstand the pressure from her family. As long as she lives through this period, she will be of no use to my brother. Then he will stop pressing Bai Family and Jiang Family. At last, their match will come to an end.” Shen Yan knew it was difficult for Xia Yu. But considering that this task was very important, he felt others were untrustworthy.

“Well, I’ll have a try.” The car arrived at the community where Wanru lived while they talked. Xia Yu got out of the car and returned to Wanru’s home.

Wanru was still awake. Xia Yu understood that she was worried, so she went to her and put her arm around her shoulder. “I told Shen Yan about your situation. He said he would send someone to protect you. Don’t worry.”

“How could I bother Young Master Yan?” Though Wanru said so, Xia Yu could feel that she was indeed relieved a lot.

The next day when Wanru was about to send her kid to school and Xia Yu was about to go to work, Xia Yu got a call from Zhou Yan suddenly. Zhou Yan was speaking evasively on the line. Xia Yu asked him what was wrong, but he only told Xia Yu to come to his home first, and then he would explain to her since it was hard to talk on the phone.

It was abnormal of Zhou Yan. He must have come across something tricky. So, Xia Yu first called Ruyi Tower’s manager to tell him that she would arrive there a little later since she had something to do and then went to his home according to the address which Zhou Yan provided.

As soon as Xia Yu knocked at the door once, Zhou Yan opened it and invited her in hurriedly as if she was his savior.

Zhou Yan’s room was in a mess, and it was very crowded with a single bed, a beanbag sofa, a computer, and a makeshift closet. Additionally, there were many things piled on the sofa and the computer desk.

This scene was quite different from what Xia Yu imagined about Zhou Yan’s home. She made efforts to get into it from the door. Bai Hong in the bed glanced at her and kept silent after hearing the sound.

Why was she here? Xia Yu was astonished, and she glanced at Zhou Yan. Seeing that he stared back at her helplessly, she got a sense of what happened in her mind.

Xia Yu didn’t greet Bai Hong. Instead, she walked over and put away a mess of untidy clothes on the sofa onto the table aside to spare some room for sitting down. She sat on the sofa opposite the bed. Bai Hong didn’t pay much attention to her. She remained in the bed, dangling her legs leisurely. Xia Yu stared at her legs dangled from the edge of the bed, which were long, white, and naked without any pants. Luckily, Zhou Yan’s shirt was big and long enough for her, so it could cover her thighs.

Xia Yu held her breath spontaneously and admired Zhou Yan’s courage indeed.

“Are you invited by Zhou Yan? I didn’t expect that you are so familiar with him.” Bai Hong broke the silence and said to Xia Yu first.

“We’re friends. Do your parents know that you stayed here for the night?” Zhou Yan probably only told Xia Yu. As for Bai Hong’s families, he didn’t dare to inform them.

A single man stayed with a single woman. It was easy to cause a misunderstanding.

Bai Hong took a glance at Xia Yu. “What’s the use of telling them? I don’t want to go back, to that place!”

“What place?”
