The man's appearance that day overlapped with the profile of the man before me.
He's Nan Nan's dad!
While she was lost in thought, the car had already started and driven away.
Xing Fei suddenly snapped out of her daze and, ignoring the pain in her knees, ran after the car.
"Uncle Li Yuan, Li Yuan!"
"..." The car in front was going faster and faster.
As the car got further and further away, she realized she couldn't catch up.
Her memory suddenly shifted to the day she and Ji Zhinan went to Jinkui Park. Ji Zhinan was squatting there holding the bouquet of twin flowers, muttering a sentence to himself.
[Li Yuan, you've come to see Xi Luo, right?]
"Sillo! Silo!"
Xing Fei's mind was a mess; she didn't even know what she was thinking. The name Xi Luo just slipped out unconsciously.
………
After getting into the car, Li Yuan leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.
He's been busy with this project for the past few days and hasn't slept well for several nights in a row, so he's quite tired.
In a daze, he seemed to hear the name "Li Yuan".
He suddenly opened his eyes, his dark pupils unusually not filled with coldness.
He hadn't heard the name Li Yuan for many years.
Who is calling him?
The idea was quickly dismissed, and he rubbed his nose, feeling a headache coming on.
How could he possibly hear someone call him "Li Yuan" here?
I must be really exhausted lately; I'm even hallucinating.
Just as I had this idea, I heard a female voice with a cracked tone.
"Siro!!!"
Li Yuan suddenly turned his head, and with his excellent eyesight, he immediately spotted the young woman frantically chasing after the car.
"Stop the car!" he shouted.
"squeak--"
The car braked suddenly, and Li Yuan opened the back door and got out.
Exhausted from chasing the car, Xing Fei's legs suddenly gave way and she fell to the ground.
She lay on the ground, panting heavily, a bitter smile on her face. If she hadn't been too weak, she would have loved to slap herself a few times.
Xing Fei, how can you be so useless! Nan Nan risked her life to save you, but you can't even do anything right!
"Tap tap tap..."
Just as she was feeling annoyed, she seemed to hear footsteps, which startled Xing Fei.
Was she hallucinating? The car had already driven far away.
Xing Fei raised her head slightly, and the first thing that caught her eye was a pair of black handmade leather shoes that were clearly expensive. She froze, her gaze slowly moving upwards until it met the man's deep black eyes.
"It's you?" Li Yuan recognized Xing Fei at a glance; she was the little girl from the flower shop that day.
He paused for a second, then asked again.
How do you know about Shilo?
This is what he cares about more.
Xing Fei suddenly grabbed Li Yuan's trouser leg and shouted, "Uncle Li Yuan, hurry and save Nan Nan!"
"Nan Nan?" This name was completely unfamiliar to Li Yuan.
"Yes! Nan Nan, Ji Zhi Nan, your and Aunt Xi Luo's daughter!"
"..." Li Yuan was shocked, his face filled with astonishment.
………
After Xing Fei escaped, an eerie silence fell over the area.
Hong Ye was still in Ji Zhinan's hands. The wound on his neck had stopped bleeding, and the blood was slowly drying up.
He sneered at Ji Zhinan and said, "Little girl, you're still too young. You can't beat us."
It's laughable that a little girl like her dares to stand up to six men.
Ji Zhinan remained calm, showing no sign of panic.
"That's not necessarily true. At least I have the upper hand right now."
"To try and break a rock with an egg is utterly ridiculous!"
Ji Zhinan: "It's not laughable to try to break a rock with an egg; it's pathetic to just stand there and wait to die. How will you know you can't do it if you don't give it a try? We young people have this fighting spirit. Uncle Hong, you're getting old."
