Chapter 95 - A Night That Brought Them Closer (3) (1/2)

Zizi rapidly blinked her eyes.

Huh? Did I hear it right?

Zizi slightly peeked at his side and stiffened on seeing a huge man beside her. Every part of him screamed that he was a dangerous thug. She inwardly panicked and got afraid.

Damn it. I should get away from this spot. But he said something about Soo Yunru…

The thug clenched his fist. ”Impossible. That cop cannot be on my tail. I was careful.”

The other person seemed to say something to which he replied, ”I will handle it. Even if that Soo Yunru does reach me, he won't get me,” he sneered, ”What he will get is only his death.”

Zizi froze.

D-death?

Her heart loudly thudded in her chest in fear. Obviously, this was some illegal transaction going on that she witnessed it. There was a high chance that Yunru would fall into danger. Just looking at the man sent shivers down her spine.

I-I should not meddle in this stuff. This is too dangerous. I will quickly leave with Diu and Luan!

But somehow she felt she couldn't move her body.

No, no, no! I cannot stay here! What am I doing?

Even before she knew it, she recalled that day when Yunru had defended her in the shopping mall from that couple. Not only did he prove her innocence but also protected her from that man's violence.

That was shaking up her heart in confusion.

He helped her at that time so shouldn't she do the same this time?

What are you thinking Zizi! Move away. T-this is Yunru's headache. You will get into trouble! What if this goon hurts me? I am not any great person at all!

She gritted her teeth. The bar's exit was right in front of her, but she still didn't move.

Damn it!

Zizi feigned to get up as if she was heading for a drink. Thankfully, he didn't notice her. At a corner, she let out a deep breath. Sweat formed on her forehead. She quickly took out her phone and dialed Yunru's number.

”I will just inform him about that goon and leave. T-that's it,” she mumbled to herself and her hands trembled.

But Yunru's number was coming in as busy. She tried again but to no avail.

Zizi flared in anger.

”You stupid man! Are you talking with your girlfriend for so long! Useless!” She rained curses on him.

From the corner, she saw that goon heading upstairs.

Hey! Hey! He is moving! At this rate, he would complete his deal and escape!

She paused. ”That is not my problem. I will just say that I tried calling him but he was busy with his girlfriend! Hah! So irresponsible! How did he become a cop?”

But once again, she couldn't move her body.

'What he will get is only his death.'

She couldn't understand why but that sentence made her restless and anxious. She got nervous for no reason.

Well, he is not that stupid...Plus, idiots don't die that early.

But it failed to console her heart. What if Yunru really died?

Why am I feeling afraid for him? He has got nothing to do with me!

The thug already disappeared upstairs. Zizi bit her lip hard as she felt confused about what to do.

Just this one time!

She dropped him a message and headed upstairs.

Zhu villa.

Caihong shook Xiaosi's arm and called out. ”Xiaosi! What's wrong?”

But it seemed as if he couldn't hear her at all. His body was restlessly twitching as he gritted his teeth.

Caihong was clueless about what to do.

When did he become so sick? Just a few hours ago, he was fine.

She almost touched his forehead to check his temperature but stopped. He was sick but that didn't mean she cared for him. The wounds in her heart were too deep to forget his cruelty.

Caihong quietly withdrew her hand and walked back to the bed. She covered herself in the blanket. But she couldn't sleep. She faintly heard him coughing and gasping again.

She tried to ignore him and shut her eyes.

But his pale condition refused to leave her mind. At that moment, he looked so weak and fragile. That Xiaosi who always mockingly talked to her was nowhere.

Caihong got up once again and stared at him. She didn't want to help him at all, but she couldn't leave him like that either.

She stood in front of him and frowned. She tapped on his shoulder. ”Get up Xiaosi.”

”Hm…” he looked delirious and dizzy. ”Hm...I…”

Caihong pressed the space in between her brows.

What should I do?

She thought for a moment and was about to walk away towards the kitchen when she felt him grabbing her hand.

”Don't...leave…Caihong... don't leave...me... please…”

Caihong froze.

She slowly turned back and saw his hand holding onto hers while it shook and trembled. But even so, it was tightly clutching onto hers as if he never wanted to let it go.

”Where are you... going…?”
