Du Guanglong didn't dare to open his eyes to look at her. He pushed her away and coldly threw the car keys in front of her.

"Stop with this nonsense. If you don't want to leave, just pretend I was never here. Do as you please!"

"This car belongs to Ji Qing, let's drive it back to him!"

He didn't dare linger for a moment, crossing the road through the traffic, running faster and faster until he was out of breath and finally sat down against the wall.

He gritted his teeth and pounded the ground a few times.

"Stupid woman, incredibly stupid woman!"

Lu Baoqi chased after him in her car, and as soon as she got out, she heard this explosive comment.

She kicked Du Guanglong and said aggrievedly, "I'm so stupid for falling for you. If I were smart enough, I would have married your blind and crippled brother!"

When Du Guanglong saw her disheveled hair and bare feet, his pitiful appearance melted even his hardened heart.

That night, Du Guanglong did not return to the hospital.

When Lu Yi returned, Liang Shiyue was sitting blankly on the sofa in the small living room, holding a magazine upside down, like a wooden or clay sculpture.

There were unfinished boxed meals on the table, and both hospital beds were empty.

Lu Yi had a wound on his hand, which he covered with his sleeve, and squatted down in front of her.

"Xiaoyue, what are you thinking about?"

Liang Shiyue rolled her eyes blankly. "I was wondering why you haven't come back yet."

A rare smile appeared on Lu Yi's face.

"I'll take you out to eat, and then I'll take you home."

Liang Shiyue shook her head, her voice hoarse, "I have no home anymore, it's fine here... By the way, Young Master Huo said he was going downstairs for some fresh air, and Brother Long went out to see some friends."

Lu Yi nodded, "Never mind them, someone will take care of them."

Liang Shiyue lowered her eyelids and remained silent for a long time.

The icy hand warmed slightly in Lu Yi's palm before he said softly, "My mother is still in the hospital. She's all alone there, and there's nothing I can do!"

"Lu Yi, I feel like I've become a burden to you again. I want to go back, to go back and be with my mother!"

She smiled bitterly and looked up with tearful eyes.

Lu Yi sighed silently and sat down next to her.

“Xiaoyue, when my uncle left, there was no one behind me. It was you and Auntie who gave me the courage to stand up.”

"If I can do it, I believe you can too."

"We're not thinking about anything else right now. Can you recall what characteristics the people who kidnapped you had?"

Liang Shiyue's attention shifted slightly, and she frowned.

Most of those people had East Asian faces, but they spoke different languages, so they were clearly not compatriots.

Only one person, who usually wears a mask, took good care of Liang Shiyue.

During the days she was detained, he brought her water and food, and even took Liang Shiyue to the bathroom while he stood guard outside.

He was taciturn and didn't seem to fit in well with others.

His silhouette from behind bore a resemblance to Lu Yi.

Several times she woke up from her sleep and saw figures sitting or standing, and she couldn't help but call out Lu Yi's name in her heart.

Until that day, someone received a phone call, and everyone went out, leaving only the young man behind.

He helped Liang Shiyue untie the ropes binding her hands and feet, and whispered, "No matter what happens, don't make a sound."

Liang Shiyue recognized his Fengcheng accent, and tears welled up in her eyes.

He hurriedly asked, "Do you know me?"

How could Su Yu not recognize her!

On the day of Lu Yi's coming-of-age ceremony, her gaze was like a carefully woven net, enveloping Lu Yi alone from beginning to end.

Among a group of heavily made-up young ladies, she was the most pleasing to the eye with her light makeup.

"I guess so! Move your wrists a bit, and then do as I say!"

Su Yu put the rope back in its original position and loosely draped it over Liang Shiyue's feet.

After getting up and going out, he came back carrying a bunch of food.

Then he opened all the food boxes, took out a chicken leg and put it in Liang Shiyue's hand.

"Eat quickly, there's not much time!"

Liang Shiyue wolfed down the meat, threw the bones in the corner, wiped the grease off her mouth, and her heart was pounding in her throat.

Su Yu grabbed a boxed lunch and shoveled a few mouthfuls into his mouth.

A short while later, the group of people walked in, carrying bottles of liquor and chatting and laughing.

Upon seeing Su Yu sneaking food, he slapped him across the face.

Little Baka uttered a vulgar curse, which caused the others to burst into laughter.

Liang Shiyue was afraid that they would see through her and attack Su Yu again, so she dared not move.

In less than fifteen minutes, the group of guys who had been eating and drinking were lying sprawled out on the ground, limp and lifeless.

Su Yu, who had been crouching in the corner watching their movements, threw down his lunchbox, grabbed Liang Shiyue, and ran outside.

"Don't talk, watch your step, and keep up with me!"

Liang Shiyue hadn't been active for a long time, and her tendons were weak and she couldn't exert any strength.

Su Yu practically dragged her along as they ran.

This basement is very well hidden; just climbing the stairs is exhausting, but we're running for our lives, or we'll die here.

Liang Shiyue watched his retreating figure and imagined him as Lu Yi, which is why she persevered.

"I didn't get a good look at him, but I feel like I've seen him somewhere before... and he looks a lot like you!"

Still shaken, Liang Shiyue unconsciously grabbed Lu Yi's hand.

Lu Yi frowned. "Like me?"

Liang Shiyue said with certainty, "Yes, especially the back view, I thought it was you several times..."

As she spoke, she parted her lips slightly and glanced hastily at Lu Yi.

"Could it be him?"

In a foreign land, the only person Lu Yi could think of who would help Liang Shiyue and who looked very similar to him was Su Yu.

Su Yu had some connection with Lu Baoqi.

"He handed me over to Miss Lu and hurriedly went back. I was very scared at the time and didn't even think about asking him to come with us. Lu Yi, is that your friend?"
