Chapter 693 The arsonist
Now that things have come to this, if Liu Zheng doesn't leave, it would be the same as not wanting Ruan Qi to recover properly.
Liu Zheng didn't dare to take the blame and could only say goodbye to Xi Jiu and Ruan Munan in embarrassment.
"Master Xi, Mr. Ruan, I'll be leaving now. I'll come see Miss Ruan tomorrow."
Xi Jiu said "hmm" lightly, without even raising his head, and carefully served porridge to Ruan Qi in a small bowl.
When Xiang Fei'er saw this scene, her eyes flashed and a hint of jealousy crossed her eyes.
Xi Jiu, who was concentrating on serving porridge, suddenly raised his head and looked at her with his inky black eyes.
Xiang Fei'er's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously straightened her back, her eyes drooping shyly, showing her best posture.
Xi Jiu stared at her for two seconds.
Xiang Fei'er's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. She could no longer hold back her composure. Just as she was about to raise her eyes, she heard Xi Jiu's cold voice: "You two should know what to say and what not to say after leaving this ward."
“…” Xiang Feier’s shy smile froze on the corner of her mouth.
She looked up in disbelief.
Xi Jiu was looking at her with a dead look in his eyes: "Xiao Qi has a kind heart and doesn't want to do evil to others. Whoever provokes her, as long as they don't cross the bottom line, she will try her best to tolerate it. But I won't."
"As long as I'm here, no one can bully Xiao Qi and still get away with it. Miss Xiang, do you understand?"
Xiang Fei'er's face suddenly turned pale.
Xi Jiu looked at her deeply, then retracted his gaze. He placed the porridge in front of Ruan Qi and said slowly, "For Mr. Liu's sake, I can pretend that the conflict between Miss Xiang and Xiao Qi didn't happen. But I don't want it to happen again."
"Also, since you two already know about my relationship with Xiao Qi, you should understand what to say and what not to say. I don't want to see any rumors online that are unfavorable to Xiao Qi. I hope Mr. Liu and Ms. Xiang are aware of this. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do."
Xi Jiu's tone was light, yet it revealed an intimidating coldness and pressure.
Xiang Fei'er felt that she couldn't breathe, her body was shaking and she almost fainted.
She looked at Liu Zheng for help, but found that Liu Zheng was not much better than her.
Xi Jiu's aura was too strong, and his cold words carried a bloody smell. Even Liu Zheng, who came from a wealthy family, could not withstand such oppression.
His face was pale, and he couldn't even smile. He could only say tremblingly: "Master Xi, don't worry, Fei'er will never make Miss Ruan unhappy again."
Xi Jiu said "hmm" without any emotion, lowered his head and concentrated on serving food to Ruan Qi, without saying anything else.
Liu Zheng no longer had any desire to get close to Xi Jiu. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, said goodbye in a hurry, and then fled the ward with Xiang Fei'er in tow.
The ward door closed again.
The room finally became quiet.
Ruan Qi exhaled and looked at Xi Jiu with a smile: "Jiujiu is the best at scaring people."
"Indeed." Ruan Munan drank his porridge slowly, not knowing whether to praise or ridicule, "Master Xi's demeanor is so great that it can be called the most terrifying thing in the imperial capital."
Xi Jiu gladly accepted his brother-in-law's 'praise', then rubbed the little girl's head twice. "It's obvious that Liu Zheng has bad intentions. Baby, stay away from him from now on."
Ruan Qi nodded her head obediently.
"I don't know how the crew's investigation is going. What exactly do they want to do by replacing water with gasoline?"
What you say will come true.
Just as Ruan Qi finished speaking, the cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
It’s Xixi’s call.
"Xiao Qi," Xixi's voice came through the receiver when the call was connected. "The person who replaced the water with gasoline has been found. He was a crew member. But he has already escaped."
