Tang Zihao hesitated for a moment before following her out. It wasn't that he really believed Xie Yuhan's words, but rather that he was worried about leaving Xie Yuhan with the impression that he wasn't sincere enough towards his friends.
Tonight, Zhang Xinrui asked him to come out, but he wasn't really interested. He had just broken up with his girlfriend and was feeling very emotional. He wanted to stay home and lick his wounds by himself.
"Don't say I'm not a good friend. I'm going out to have fun, so I'll introduce you to a beautiful girl! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Tang Zihao finally fell for her. I don't know which Cupid once said that the best way to get over a breakup is to start a new relationship. There is some truth to that. When people are hungry, they need to eat; when flowers wilt, they need to be watered; when people are heartbroken, of course they need to fall in love.
So he came out.
Actually, he didn't have high hopes. He knew almost everyone Zhang Xinrui knew, and they were all in the same circle, so there was nothing new about them.
He thought Zhang Xinrui was introducing him to her best friend or something, but to his surprise, it was a pure and innocent first-love face that he had never seen before.
He was completely captivated by Xie Yuhan's innocent yet intelligent eyes.
He was certain that dating this kind of girl was the "pure love" he wanted most.
...
After Tang Zihao walked out the door, he saw those people getting into the car.
"Wait for me, I'll go back with you."
They saw Tang Zihao chasing after them.
Yu Ting said sarcastically, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to spend time with that pretty girl of yours anymore? You've suddenly remembered us, your friends?"
"Yu Ting, how dare you speak like that? Why are your words so barbed?"
"Heh, how did I talk? Was that woman's talk any nicer? She cursed Bao Hui and then slandered me. Not only did you not speak up for us, but you also sided with her. You're a real friend."
Tang Zihao was somewhat displeased upon hearing such sarcastic remarks.
“Yu Ting, Yu Han is a Taoist priest. She was just saying what she has learned. Do you have to be so petty?”
"No need? Heh, you're really funny. She cursed Bao Hui with bloodshed, said I had an abortion, and said I would encounter bad things. Heh, if I said that to you, could you tolerate it? If you could, then you're really magnanimous. Sorry, I'm not as magnanimous as you."
“Yuhan really doesn’t have any bad intentions. She’s just a very innocent person. She was worried that you might be in danger, so she asked me to protect you.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Ting burst into laughter.
"It's hilarious! She's been cursing us the whole time, and you still say she's innocent? Tang Zihao, have you been bewitched by that woman? You believe everything she says? I didn't understand why Liu Yanran broke up with you before, but now I finally understand. Your love-struck mind is incredibly stupid. You don't have any independent thought at all. A man without independent thought has no charm whatsoever."
"Yu Ting! That's enough! I came here out of kindness to protect you..."
"No! We don't need your protection. With your skinny arms and legs, you can't even protect yourself, let alone us? Heh, Tang Zihao, you'd better go back to your fortune teller and wag your tail properly. We don't need you to take us!"
After Yu Ting finished speaking, she got into the car, and the driver stepped on the gas, leaving Tang Zihao far behind.
...
Inside the private room.
Xie Yuhan was about to wake up Zhang Xinrui, who was asleep, when she saw Tang Zihao return.
She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Didn't you take them home?"
Tang Zihao felt somewhat helpless.
"They said they didn't need me to take them, saying that my skinny arms and legs couldn't protect them at all."
Xie Yuhan sighed softly.
Talking to himself.
"Maybe this is fate..."
Seeing Xie Yuhan say this, Tang Zihao pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "Yuhan, you don't need to worry. Their parents are all influential people in Donghai City, and it's not like they were driving, so nothing will happen."
Xie Yuhan nodded.
"That would be for the best."
The two woke up Zhang Xinrui, who was sleeping, and prepared to go back.
But they had only been downstairs for a short time when they received a phone call.
The call was from Bao Hui.
Tang Zihao answered the phone, and a bad feeling suddenly came over him.
Sure enough, Bao Hui sounded very flustered on the phone.
"Zihao, something terrible has happened! Wei An is dead!"
...
Huian Road intersection.
Wei An lay on the ground covered in blood, while Yu Ting's left cheek was swollen and red, and she was being protected by her driver.
Ahead of them, a man with a hooked nose glared at Yu Ting and roared hysterically, "Yu Ting, you bitch! You betrayed me! Do you think I didn't know anything? Look at this!!!"
The man threw several sheets of paper in Yu Ting's face.
"This is your abortion record!!! Do you really want me to be a cuckold for eternity?! You messed around with that bastard Wei An, you've disgraced your Yu family and our Cheng family. A slut like you wants to marry into our family? Heh, you wish! I'll make sure you all die!"
Cheng Dong, knife in hand, charged forward again.
The driver's arm was also slashed in several places, bleeding profusely, which was quite frightening. The onlookers were so frightened that they all ran away.
Yu Ting's friends were also too scared to come forward.
Yu Ting's legs went weak, and she couldn't even stand up from the ground. She cried and begged for mercy, "Cheng Dong, I was wrong, please let me go. I really know I was wrong. I'm just so lonely. You've been studying abroad for so long, and I've been so lonely all by myself."
Cheng Dong's eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes looked like they were about to burst.
"Are you lonely? Do you think I'm having a carefree time abroad? During my time abroad, I've been thinking about you constantly. Every time I come back to China, I think about how to bring you the best gift. For the past few years, I've been hoping to graduate quickly, come back home, and marry you, but you!!!"
Cheng Dong bit his lip tightly, and a tear rolled down his cheek.
"You betrayed me!!! You and that bastard Wei An must have booked hotel rooms many times, right? When you were having fun with him in bed and getting an abortion at the hospital, did you ever think about me?"
Cheng Dong grabbed Yu Ting's collar tightly.
"I really love you!! I really love you, so much, why did you betray me? Why!!!"
Yu Ting felt the knife against her neck, slowly going deeper and deeper. She broke down in fear and cried bitterly.
"Let me go! Let me go right now!!!"
"I won't let you go!! I've already killed that bastard Wei An, so one more won't make a difference. After I kill you, I'll kill myself! I don't want to live anymore!"
"No!!! Cheng Dong, no!!!"
Feeling that death was imminent, Yu Ting was terrified.
Just as Cheng Dong was about to strike, Tang Zihao and his men finally arrived with the police.
Upon seeing this, the police immediately drew their pistols and pointed them all at Cheng Dong, who was about to commit the crime.
"Put down your weapons and surrender now, or we'll shoot!"
"Go ahead and open it!!! I'm not going to live anyway!! If I'm going to die, I'll die with her."
Cheng Dong held Yu Ting firmly in his arms, and his movements were quite large and restless, which put the police in a difficult position.
If we open fire at this point, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of the hostages.
So they started to persuade them.
But their persuasion was useless. Cheng Dong was in a state of extreme madness and wouldn't listen to anyone.
Not long after, Cheng Dong and Yu Ting's parents also arrived.
Both sets of parents joined in the persuasion.
But Cheng Dong still wouldn't listen; all he wanted now was for Yu Ting to die with him.
Zhang Xinrui finally sobered up and looked at everything in front of her with concern.
"What should we do? What should we do? It seems like he's really going to kill Yu Ting."
Tang Zihao also looked solemn. He glanced at Wei An lying in a pool of blood and sighed softly.
"He thinks he's really going to do it; he's completely lost his mind now."
"Is there any way to save her? She's our good friend."
“I don’t know either. His parents’ advice was useless, and we’re not familiar with him.”
When Bao Hui saw Tang Zihao and the others, she rushed over in a panic.
She held tightly to Xie Yuhan, who was standing behind her.
"You predicted this all along, didn't you? You said Yu Ting would get into trouble, and she really did. You need to find a way to help her right away!"
The other students also looked at Xie Yuhan.
Zhang Xinrui was still a little confused, and then Tang Zihao told her everything that had just happened.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinrui quickly pleaded with Xie Yuhan, "Yuhan, do you really have a solution?"
Xie Yuhan hesitated for a moment and looked at Tang Zihao.
Bao Hui and the others realized that Tang Zihao had come out to chase after them earlier, saying he would protect them. Did Tang Zihao have a way to do that?
"Tang Zihao, do you have a solution?"
Tang Zihao was completely bewildered.
What can I do?
No, you do.
Xie Yuhan was very certain.
"Huh? How come I don't know?"
Xie Yuhan said she could save Yu Ting, but Tang Zihao was a little skeptical, and the others weren't very convinced either.
After all, Tang Zihao was very thin. The other party was holding a knife, and even the police with guns couldn't aim. What could he do?
"Go and try to persuade him; maybe he'll listen to you."
Xie Yuhan said.
Tang Zihao was in a bit of a dilemma. He didn't know Cheng Dong at all, so how could Cheng Dong possibly listen to him?
But since Xie Yuhan had already said that, he couldn't back down. It was very important to show courage in front of the person he liked.
He took a deep breath, nodded, and then went up to her.
When Cheng Dong, who was already agitated, saw someone daring to approach, he became even more aggressive.
He threatened Tang Zihao with a knife.
"Get out of here!"
Tang Zihao was also a little scared when he saw the blood-stained knife.
But with so many people watching him from behind, he couldn't back down, so he had no choice but to muster his courage and start persuading them.
"Brother, I understand your pain all too well..."
"You don't know anything! Nobody can understand my pain right now!"
"No! I understand, because my girlfriend cheated on me too."
Cheng Dong was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"real?"
"Of course it's true. Yu Ting knows about this, everyone knows. My ex-girlfriend cheated on me in public with someone who is older and has a lower social status than me."
Yu Ting nodded quickly.
"He's telling the truth..."
"Shut the fuck up!"
Cheng Dong shouted at Yu Ting, and then looked at Tang Zihao.
"Didn't you make that bastard who betrayed you pay the price?"
"I……"
Tang Zihao hesitated. He hadn't made Liu Yanran, who had betrayed him, pay the price, but his mother had done it for him, so he didn't know how to answer.
"Hehe, go ahead and say it!"
"I don't."
Tang Zihao denied it.
"You fucking lie!! You hesitated just now!! You also thought about killing them, didn't you? Or rather, you already did, didn't you? So it's only right that I kill this bitch!!"
After Cheng Dong finished speaking, he prepared to make his move. Tang Zihao saw that his persuasion had not had a positive effect, but rather a negative one. He became anxious and rushed forward without thinking much, trying to stop Cheng Dong.
Just then, a nimble man suddenly appeared from the crowd. He quickly stepped forward, pushed Tang Zihao aside, and knocked the knife out of Cheng Dong's hand.
This all happened in the blink of an eye. The man was incredibly fast. The police only managed to subdue Cheng Dong after he dropped the knife.
