C23 (1/2)

While talking, Li Rong seemed to be unable to suppress her curiosity, ”Xiao-Xiao, is that man hurting you? I … I'm really worried about you. ”Don't be afraid, I will protect you.”

Hearing his words, which were filled with worry and also contained a hint of confession, my heart warmed. However, the matters between Song Mo Ran and me, flashed through my mind one by one.

I painfully covered my face, but my eyes couldn't shed any tears. I felt that I had gone too far, I actually went silent with Song Mo Ran … My brother-in-law, even if he is my brother-in-law in name, in the eyes of outsiders, this kind of thing is considered disrespectful and even immoral.

After Li Rong's words, I let go of my hands and wiped my tears. I turned my head to look at the scenery outside the window, but as I got closer to the entrance of the neighborhood, the anxiety I was suppressing grew.

Seeing me like this, Li Rong realised that she had said the wrong thing and apologized anxiously, ”Xiao-Xiao, I'm sorry, did I say the wrong thing? Don't forget it, we won't talk about this anymore.”

Seeing him so anxious made me laugh lovingly. Hearing me laugh again, Li Rong seemed to be relieved as she said, ”Xiaoxiao, is there any place you want to go next?”

”No, Li Rong, let's quickly get out of here, okay?” ”We'll decide later.” Li Rong nodded and slowly sped up. The gate of the residential complex was gradually revealed.

But outside the compound, I didn't see the hope of escape I had hoped for. Instead, what I saw was a row of cars that seemed to be waiting for us, creating an open space in front of the gate.

Li Rong stopped the car and gave me a reassuring smile. ”Xiao-Xiao, don't worry, I will protect you. I will go down to check on the situation.”

Before Li Rong got out of the car, a tall and sturdy man dressed in black sunglasses and a suit came out of the car. I didn't need to guess to know that he was Song Mo Ran's man.

Li Rong saw that something was wrong, so she quickly got out of the car and stood in front of the front door of the passenger seat. She stood there with her back straight, without a shred of fear, and in that instant, his body kept getting bigger and bigger in front of my eyes.

The one on the other side seemed to be the leader of the group, ”The boy on the other side, don't act rashly. Let me give you a word of advice. Stay away from Miss Lin. This is also for your own good.”

Hearing this, Li Rong seemed to be angered. I also felt that she was hurting a man's pride, ”What do you want to do? Just come at me. What's wrong with bullying a girl?”

The leader laughed disdainfully, leading his men over. Li Rong raised her fist and punched him, but the leader was quick, his head flashed to the side, and he twisted Li Rong's wrist with his backhand. It was the standard grabbing motion, I saw Li Rong's face suddenly reveal a pained expression, she wanted to resist, but her wrist made a cracking sound as soon as she used her strength.

After hearing the sound, I felt that I could no longer sit still and wait for death. I got out of the car and shouted to the rest of them, ”All of you, stop! Don't involve him in this. Hurry up and release him!”
