Chapter 324 The Dust Settles
Chen Jingbai smiled darkly, as if he had planned everything out, which made everyone present feel inexplicably depressed for a moment, and they all had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the next second, more people surrounded the people brought by Jiang Wanning and others.
It seemed as if the opposing control was reversed again at this moment and returned to Shen Jingbai.
Just at this moment, Su Xu, who had been knocked unconscious, slowly woke up in Ai Li's hands. After hearing these words, he gritted his teeth for a moment.
“Chen Jingbai!”
"I was right. You approached me with ulterior motives. My father's car accident was also caused by you, right?!"
The original meeting between Su Xu and Shen Jingbai was actually an accident at a drinking party.
It was only after Shen Jingbai discovered Su Xu's identity and the Jiang family's involvement with her family that he began to deliberately strengthen their relationship.
As Su Xu had guessed before, Chen Jingbai's initial approach did have ulterior motives. Even before, all the arrangements related to Su Qing that they encountered in Xing Country were the work of Chen Jingbai.
Now that the truth was finally revealed, the man looked at Su Xu, but the previous happiness in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
"elder sister……"
"How many times do you want me to tell you? I've always been sincere to you."
"sincere?"
"Your so-called sincerity is the sincerity that wants to harm me, my father, and everyone around me?"
"Of course I didn't mean that...!"
In a flash, Shen Jingbai's voice stopped abruptly.
Because opposite him, Su Xu suddenly had an attack. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he suddenly snatched a dagger from Ellie's hand and pointed it directly at his neck.
"Okay, if that's the case, then prove it to me."
Su Xu looked at Shen Jingbai, his tone seemed to be sarcastic for a moment: “If you are sincere to me, let my father and my friends go now, let them leave safely, and I will promise to go with you.”
"Ah Xu!"
Hearing Su Xu's words, Jiang Wanning shouted anxiously, "We'll be fine, don't do anything stupid!"
But she happened to meet Su Xu's resolute gaze.
Because she wanted to step forward, the people around her brought by Shen Jingbai quickly took out their guns and pointed them at her in an instant.
The situation became tense in a flash, and Xie Yanchuan protected Jiang Wanning behind him again.
At this moment, the atmosphere around them was terrifyingly quiet.
After a while, Su Xu's sarcastic laughter was heard again.
Her voice was very soft, but her tone was firm: "What? Shen Jingbai, are you afraid?"
“…”
When Shen Jingbai met Su Xu's gaze, there was indeed a moment of hesitation on his face.
After all, he had planned so much and come to this point, all for the final outcome. If he made a choice now and went towards Su Xu, then everything would be in vain for him.
What is involved is not only Shen Jingbai, but also the Shen family behind him, and many more people who are involved with him.
He couldn't, and wouldn't, give up the plans of many people over the years just because of his momentary friendship.
This scene, when seen by Su Xu, indeed provoked a bitter smile from the latter: "Chen Jingbai, your so-called sincerity towards me is indeed not worth mentioning."
The dagger in his hand seemed to have lost its strength at this moment, and it cut the delicate skin on her neck.
Blood instantly flowed down her thin white neck, and Shen Jingbai's pupils shrank at this moment: "Su Xu is not what you think!"
Even as calm as he was, he panicked at this moment: "Listen to me, I won't hurt you, and I can promise you that I won't hurt your father. From the beginning to the end, all I want are these people from the Jiang family!"
"So, please stop making trouble. You're threatening your own life, and I'll be the only one who'll feel bad in the end. Can't I explain everything to you after this is over?"
Until this moment, Chen Jingbai had to admit that his feelings and obsession with Su Xu were much heavier than he thought.
What started out as a bit of fun and exploitation, at this moment turned into a deadly boomerang, hitting him right in the middle of the eyebrows.
He was even more deeply involved in this relationship than he had imagined.
Almost instinctively, he wanted to step forward to stop Su Xu, but at this moment, a bullet from a distance pierced his shoulder like an arrow breaking through the air.
It was Jiang Wenzhou's people who fired the shots. They took advantage of the moment when Chen Jingbai was relaxed and completely broke the stalemate between the two sides.
Just at this time, the reinforcements that Xie Yanchuan had previously planned to call finally arrived at the scene.
A fierce battle between the two sides was about to break out at this time.
Jiang Wanning looked at Xie Yanchuan again at this time, and the two of them tacitly agreed to find the right opportunity to rescue Su Xu and Su Qing, father and daughter, from the center of the besieged crowd.
But they didn't expect that they would be stopped by the Ai brothers and sisters as soon as they arrived.
"Ellie!"
On the eve of the fight, Ai Li quickly grabbed Su Xu and snatched the dagger from her hand again, and put it against her neck again: "Jiang Wanning, don't come over!"
Chen Jingbai obviously didn't expect that Jiang Wanning and the others had a backup plan and reinforcements from Xie Yanchuan. After the two sides fought, they soon fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing that Su Qing had been rescued, Ai Li glared coldly at Jiang Wanning who was approaching her and threatened: "If you dare to come one step closer, I can't guarantee that your best friend will be able to see the sun tomorrow morning."
"Aili, I know you do all this for the Shen family, and maybe you have your own reasons, but why don't you put the knife down and have a good talk with us?"
Jiang Wanning frowned fiercely at this moment: "Perhaps Xie Yanchuan and I can help you realize what you want?"
"It's too late, Jiang Wanning." Ai Li shook her head painfully. If you look closely, you can see tears in the eyes of this beautiful and resolute woman. "Everything is settled now. It's too late."
Hearing what Ellie said, Jiang Wanning felt confused and had an indescribable ominous premonition.
But before she could react, the moment Ellie finished speaking, gunshots were heard again in the distance. The bullet still pierced the void, but this time it hit Ellie right between the eyebrows.
This time, no one knew who fired the shot, and no one had a chance to react. The loud noise caused the surrounding areas where the two sides were fighting to become quiet for a moment.
"Ellie!"
Finally, Ai Heng, who was right next to Ellie, was the first to react. The elegant man's eyes were bloodshot, but what he caught in his hands was Ellie's body that fell straight down.
