Li Hao was incredibly lucky to have run into her.

The two had already called the police, and Li Hao had also notified his family. Soon, the sound of a car engine accompanied by the wailing of sirens grew louder as two police cars and a Bentley arrived at the scene almost simultaneously.

As soon as the Bentley stopped, a man and a woman hurriedly got out of the back seat. The man, who looked to be in his fifties, had a serious face and a commanding presence; he was none other than Li Shengli, a frequent face on local television. The other middle-aged woman was likely Li Shengli's wife, Li Hao's mother. She looked anxious, her hair slightly disheveled. Both were dressed in casual clothes, clearly having rushed over without a second thought after receiving the call.

The woman saw Li Hao at a glance, and tears immediately streamed down her face. She ran to his side and hugged him tightly. She reached out with heartache to touch the scars on his neck, but fearing it would hurt him, her trembling fingers stopped a few centimeters away from his skin, afraid to touch it.

"My poor son... Does it hurt? Ah? Which heartless bastard could be so cruel..."

Tang Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "This isn't ruthless. If I had arrived a few minutes later, your son's head would have been chopped off."

Li Hao reassured his mother, "Mom, I'm fine. I owe it all to this young lady who saved me."

The couple looked at Tang Xiaoxiao. They had already heard Li Hao briefly recount what had happened on the phone, and they knew that a passerby had saved their son, but they never expected it to be such a young and beautiful girl.

Looking at those thin arms and legs, can they really subdue two big men?

Although they had their doubts, seeing the thugs being led away by the police and the two sharp daggers, the couple clearly knew that if it weren't for the person who happened to be passing by, their son would likely be in grave danger. Li's mother gratefully grasped Tang Xiaoxiao's hand, her voice trembling with tears as she repeatedly thanked her, "Young lady, you saved my son, you saved our whole family! He's my only precious son; if anything happened to him, I couldn't live on..."

Tang Xiaoxiao wasn't good at comforting people, so she could only smile awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Li Hao put his arm around his mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, don't cry. I'm fine. The police still need to ask you questions. Calm down first."

Li's mother stopped crying and said angrily to Li Shengli, "Old Li, this matter must be investigated to the end. What kind of monsters and demons have we offended that want to kill my son? We will never let them get away with this!"

This couple is wealthy and has faced dangers over the years. When her son got into trouble this time, she instinctively felt that it was not an accident, but rather something specifically targeting their family.

Li Shengli snorted coldly, "I know what I'm doing. There's no one in City A that I, Li Shengli, wouldn't dare to touch."

After saying that, he bowed to Tang Xiaoxiao and said, "Young lady is the benefactor of our Li family. From now on, your affairs are the affairs of the Li family. Whenever there is anything I, Li, need, I will definitely do my best to help."

Tang Xiaoxiao returned the greeting and said a few humble words. The police came over and said that they needed to go to the police station to make a statement, so everyone got into the car.

Tang Xiaoxiao was just a passerby; after answering a few simple questions, she was able to leave.

Li Shengli and his wife saw her off to their car, saying they would definitely visit her another day. Tang Xiaoxiao just smiled politely and didn't say anything.

She drove away on her own. As for the Li family, there were still many troubles to come, but that was the Li family's own business and had nothing to do with her.

It was already 10 p.m. when she arrived at her sister Tang Xinxin's house. Tang Xinxin was still helping Xuanxuan with her homework and hadn't gone to sleep yet. After welcoming Tang Xiaoxiao in, Tang Xinxin asked her why she was so late and if she was hungry. Tang Xiaoxiao was afraid that she would be worried, so she didn't tell her what happened on the way. Instead, she said that the party ended a little late, so she was only coming back now.

After a brief chat, she said she didn't need a late-night snack and went straight to her room to rest.

Just as I changed into my pajamas and was about to lie down, Tang Xinxin knocked on the door and came in.

Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Tang Xiaoxiao sat up with her knees bent, hugging a pillow in her arms. She didn't ask any questions, but just stared at her with wide eyes.

Tang Xinxin looked somewhat conflicted, but finally seemed to have made up her mind before asking, "That Mr. He... your partner, what kind of person is he?"

Tang Xiaoxiao was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Seeing that Tang Xinxin's face had involuntarily turned slightly red after she finished speaking, what else did Tang Xiaoxiao not understand?

Something's up!

But when did these two start dating?!

Her gossip-loving spirit began to burn brightly, and Tang Xiaoxiao asked with great interest about the cause and effect.

It turned out that not long after they ran into He Zhan at the restaurant, Tang Xinxin encountered him again at her shop one day. According to He Zhan, it was a female elder in his family celebrating her birthday that day, and he wanted to pick out an outfit as a gift, but he didn't know what style would be suitable.

The two had met once and remembered each other, so He Zhan naturally asked Tang Xinxin to help him choose a necklace. He then asked her if she had time and if it would be convenient for her to accompany him to the mall to choose another necklace.

Because the other party was generous, polite, and gentle, and because they were business partners, Tang Xinxin couldn't refuse and accompanied them to the first floor of Shenglin Plaza, which was not far away, to choose a piece of jewelry suitable for an older woman.

Then the next day, He Zhan appeared again, saying he wanted to treat her to a meal to express his gratitude.

Tang Xinxin wasn't some clueless young girl. If the first day was just a chance encounter, then He Zhan's eagerness to come back on the second day was quite obvious.
