Chapter 118 "I want to move out of Repulse Bay."
Chen Shuangli's pupils trembled, and she grabbed Yuan Chuju's wrist holding the knife with both hands and pushed it up with all her strength, so hard that her finger bones turned bluish-white.
Two powerful forces were confronting each other, and the tip of the knife was shaking, sometimes going up and sometimes down.
The stalemate lasted for a while.
Yuan Chuju's masseter muscles were tensed, and she hovered above Shen Shuangli, taking advantage of the position, and cleverly put the weight of her entire body on the knife in her hand.
The sharp blade slowly moved down inch by inch.
The air conditioning is very strong.
Chen Shuangli's face turned pale as she tried to wake Yuan Chuju up, "Yuan Chuju, what you are doing is against the law!"
Yuan Chuju's expression was distorted and terrifying, and her voice was sharp and piercing.
"I don't want to live anymore anyway. It's all your fault, it's all your and Xie Jinghe's fault! You've made me so disfigured that I've ended up like this! If I don't have a good life, then neither should you. I'm going to scratch your face and cut off your tongue!"
"Come to hell with me!"
As he spoke, Yuan Chuju's strength suddenly increased.
The knife fell straight down, and the cold light shot into her pupils. Chen Shuangli closed her eyes in fear and turned her head to the side.
Suddenly, a loud "bang" was heard.
The car window was shattered from the outside, and glass fragments flew everywhere with a loud noise.
Yuan Chuju was startled and suddenly turned his head to look.
Her attention was distracted, and the strength in her hand loosened, so Shen Shuangli took the opportunity to snatch the knife from her hand.
Immediately afterwards, the car door was forced open, and a group of burly men in black easily restrained Yuan Chuju.
Chen Shuangli sat up from her seat and looked at them.
They were dressed like bodyguards.
Noticing Chen Shuangli's gaze, one of the men grinned, revealing two rows of white and neat teeth, looking a bit honest.
He explained, "Miss, it was the young master who asked us to come and protect you."
"I'm really sorry for being two steps late and scaring you."
Chen Shuangli frowned slightly, and her voice became a little lighter, "...How did you know I was in danger?"
"We are following you in secret."
Hearing this, Chen Shuangli's brows furrowed even tighter.
His hands tightened inch by inch until they were clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into the soft flesh of his palms, causing sharp pain.
The group noticed that Chen Shuangli was in a bad mood and thought she was frightened, so they apologized sincerely again.
"Miss, I'm so sorry we're late. How about you slap us twice and scold us?"
One man nudged another man hard with his elbow and said in a low voice, "Milk tea, give it to the lady, to comfort her."
The man was holding a cup of milk tea in his hand. He had just received the takeaway he had ordered. He was an expert at taking advantage of troubled waters.
He wisely handed the milk tea to Chen Shuangli immediately, "Miss, drink some milk tea to calm your nerves."
Chen Shuangli forced a smile at the corner of her lips, "No, thank you. You guys send Yuan Chuju to the police station, I... want to go home."
As she spoke, Chen Shuangli got out of the car and walked out of the alley alone.
The back figure is thin, revealing an inexplicable sadness and loneliness.
The bodyguards scratched their heads in confusion.
Girls are so hard to please.
Chen Shuangli hailed another taxi at the intersection. Just as she sat in the back seat, her cell phone rang.
Chen Shuangli lowered her eyes and took a look.
Xie Jinghe called.
His call came so timely, it must have been tipped off by those bodyguards.
Chen Shuangli didn't want to answer, so she looked at it for two seconds, turned off the phone and ignored it.
Back to Repulse Bay.
Chen Shuangli unlocked the door with her fingerprint, pressed her frail back against the door, and slid down feebly inch by inch.
Finally, she squatted on the ground against the door, hugged her knees with her hands, and lowered her head.
She could tolerate and forgive his actions, but what if he didn't repent? What if he said one thing and did another?
Chen Shuangli was very disappointed with Xie Jinghe.
Xie Jinghe made several phone calls but no one answered. He was very anxious and immediately left the meeting.
Listening to the bodyguard's report, Chen Shuangli returned to Repulse Bay. She might have been frightened by Yuan Chuju and was in a bad mood.
Xie Jinghe rushed home.
The living room was large and quiet, empty with no trace of Chen Shuangli.
He turned his head to look at the bedroom, the door of which was closed, and walked over.
He opened the door and looked at the bed.
The girl sat on the bed, her arms wrapped around her knees, her black hair draped messily in front of her and behind her shoulders, her expression blank.
The moment he saw Chen Shuangli, Xie Jinghe's anxious heart settled down.
Xie Jinghe walked quickly to the big bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and lifted up Chen Shuangli's long hair that was scattered on the side of her face with his slender fingers, and said softly,
"Sister, are you scared?"
"Don't be afraid, I'll help my sister get revenge, okay?"
Chen Shuangli reached out and slapped Xie Jinghe's hand away, her voice stern.
"Don't touch me."
She looked up, looking him straight in the eye, and demanded, "Are you secretly sending someone to monitor me? You said you would change, but in fact you haven't changed at all."
Xie Jinghe hurriedly explained, "It's not surveillance. I sent someone to secretly follow you to protect my sister."
"If it's for protection, then why didn't you tell me?" Chen Shuangli pressed.
Surveillance in the name of protection?
"I was afraid that you would be angry and feel uncomfortable, so I... hid it from you. It's really not a surveillance. Sister, can you believe me?" Xie Jinghe's eyes were frank.
"I asked the bodyguards to follow you secretly and protect you today. They are not here normally. I saw the notice about tongue cutting today. Several of the victims were in my sister's class. I am afraid that the murderer will attack my sister."
"I just... don't want to see my sister get hurt."
He stretched out his fingertips and gently hooked Chen Shuangli's slender fingers, his pupils moist, looking at her pitifully, begging.
"Sister, please believe me, okay? I really don't want to spy on you."
Chen Shuangli dodged her hand and avoided Xie Jinghe's touch.
She was a little hesitant to believe what he said now.
He is the best at pretending to be pitiful.
Afraid that she would be angry and uncomfortable.
Ultimately, it just comes down to not trusting her.
If it was really just for protection, he should have told her in advance. Why didn't he tell her? Why did he hide it from her? How could she trust him?!
Chen Shuangli lowered her eyes and didn't look at Xie Jinghe. She said softly, "I want to be alone."
"Go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."
"I'm not busy. I'm here with my sister."
"Do I have to make it so clear? I don't want to see you now."
"..." Xie Jinghe felt as if a needle had pierced his heart, causing him to feel a sharp pain.
"Sister, I really know I was wrong. I should have told you in advance. I really didn't mean to spy on you. I can help call those bodyguards over, and you can ask them. What I said is true."
Chen Shuangli suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Xie Jinghe, "They are all your people, they will say whatever you want them to say."
“…”
"I want to move out of Repulse Bay."
As soon as the words fell, the bedroom fell into extreme silence.
