There was only dim light in the corridor. Jiang Yuhuai vaguely saw that the person coming was Chi Ze. He frowned slightly and did not come out from the corner until Chi Ze entered Xie Shizhu's lounge.
Jiang Yuhuai walked to the door uncontrollably. As soon as his slender and powerful fingertips touched the door, he heard a sound coming from inside.
The woman said firmly, "Chi Ze, thank you for helping me online last time, but please don't misunderstand me. My love for you only existed during high school. I made it very clear that time in the hospital. I let it go a long time ago. If you don't mind, we can still be high school classmates."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuhuai stood there in a daze, and the stone that had been pressing on his chest for a long time finally disappeared.
Chi Ze seemed to be trying his best to control his emotions. Jiang Yuhuai could vaguely sense the heavy and strange atmosphere in the room through the door.
The next second, Jiang Yuhuai pushed the door open and walked in.
The two people in the room looked at him at the same time.
But sadness and joy are the opposite.
Chi Ze's face was filled with grief, as if he had fallen into an abyss, with no hope of survival.
After Jiang Yuhuai came in, Xie Shizhu's originally resistant expression instantly turned into joy. He hurriedly stood up from the sofa and smiled sweetly: "Boss."
"Well," Jiang Yuhuai walked over to Xie Shizhu with his long legs, hooked his arm around her thin waist as if to claim his sovereignty, and said to Chi Ze, "Boss Chi, since you're here, it's my treat today."
Chi Zefeng looked at the two of them and found that their relationship was extremely close. The difference in how Xie Shizhu treated himself and Jiang Yuhuai stung his eyes.
"No."
Chi Ze turned his back and didn't look at them. He pushed open the door with heavy steps and disappeared into the darkness again.
"Boss, the person in charge sent me a message asking me to go on stage quickly."
Jiang Yuhuai reluctantly let go of her and nodded, "Okay."

As Xie Shizhu walked onto the stage, a woman rushed towards her, holding a small glass bottle in her right hand, which was filled with an unknown liquid.
Before anyone could react, the woman pounced on Xie Shizhu and pinned her to the ground. She then pulled off the bottle cap and glared at her, saying, "You've ruined my life. I want you to pay the price."
Xie Shizhu lay on the cold ground. She stared at the woman with hatred and said, "Wu Meng, you are the one who caused this situation."
Wu Meng sneered and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You are just a low-level person. I am giving you face by replacing you. However, you actually let Chi Ze help you. I wonder if your face is ruined. What capital do you have to seduce men?"
There was a panic in the audience. Some people were taking videos, some were shocked, and some were whispering.
But no one came to the rescue.
After all, no one wants to risk their lives to help a resident singer.
What Wu Meng was holding in his hand was most likely sulfuric acid, and if he wasn't careful, he might get burned.
Xie Shizhu stared at her with his dark pupils, without a trace of fear in his eyes. "Wu Meng, you are destroying yourself. If you admit your mistakes and correct them, and leave now, I will pretend that nothing happened."
"Bullshit!" Wu Meng screamed and roared, "Our Wu family is now in danger, all because of you."
Xie Shizhu sneered: "Then I can only say that you deserve it!"
Wu Meng gritted his teeth and poured the bottle in his right hand onto Xie Shizhu's face.
Wu Meng's knees held Xie Shizhu's legs down. She struggled a bit, but to little effect.
Seeing that the colorless water in the bottle was about to splash onto Xie Shizhu's eyes, the people below the stage exclaimed and raised their phones higher, trying to capture the clearest picture.
Suddenly, a slender hand snatched the bottle from Wu Meng, and because it was too hasty, the bottle mouth was aimed at the man, and some sulfuric acid splashed onto the man's arm.
Immediately afterwards, the bottle fell to the ground and the sound of breaking echoed all around.
Wu Meng turned her head angrily, and after seeing the man's expression clearly, she couldn't help but shudder all over.
The man's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty coldness as he looked down at her from above, his whole body emitting an aura of deathly silence.
A few seconds later, the man bent down and picked up Xie Shizhu. Before leaving, he glanced at her coldly out of the corner of his eye.
Xie Shizhu subconsciously hooked his arm around Jiang Yuhuai's neck, his eyes tinged with red, and he said nervously: "Boss, your arm is injured. Let's go to the hospital. Put me down. I'm fine."
The injured person was Jiang Yuhuai, and he in turn comforted the woman in his arms: "It's okay."
Xie Shizhu's eyes were filled with tears, and her wet eyes, like a deer's, stared at him, "No, you must go."
Jiang Yuhuai's heart was incredibly soft, and in order to stop her from crying, he nodded obediently.
After coming out, Xie Shizhu struggled to get out of his arms and hurriedly stopped a taxi on the side of the road, but most taxis were now full.
But Xie Shizhu did not give up. Every time she was ignored by a taxi driver, she gritted her teeth and continued to hail a taxi without saying a word.
Jiang Yuhuai felt a painful burning sensation on his skin through his clothes, but he didn't react at all, his eyes fixed on the woman's thin back.
This is the second time.
This was the second time he saw Xie Shizhu worried about him.
Finally, a car stopped. A black Maybach braked beside Xie Shizhu's feet. The driver's door opened and Chi Ze got out.
Chi Ze looked at Xie Shizhu's tear-stained face and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
Xie Shizhu bit his lip and said, "Chi Ze, can you take my boss to the hospital? He has some sulfuric acid splashed on his arm."
Chi Ze looked Xie Shizhu up and down, and after finding that she was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, get in the car."
Xie Shizhu gave him a grateful look and hurriedly opened the back door, "Boss, the car is ready."
She turned to look at Jiang Yuhuai, and smiled through her tears. There was still some moisture on her eyelashes, but hope appeared in her eyes which had just been desperate.
The softest part of Jiang Yuhuai's heart felt like it was being brushed by a feather, making it itchy and numb.
After getting in the car, Xie Shizhu kept urging Chi Ze to drive faster.
Chi Ze saw Xie Shizhu's tense face and difficulty breathing through the rearview mirror. It seemed as if he used up all his strength with every breath.
Jiang Yuhuai stroked Xie Shizhu's hair soothingly and said in a hoarse voice, "The sulfuric acid is through my clothes, so I won't be seriously injured."
"But," Xie Shizhu said softly, "I don't want you to get hurt, boss. Not even a little bit. You already have so many injuries..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Ze suddenly turned the steering wheel.
Xie Shizhu subconsciously leaned to the right.
Jiang Yuhuai quickly reached out and placed his hand on the car window glass next to her, thus preventing her from hitting her head against the glass.
She was startled, and quickly reached out to hold Jiang Yuhuai's wrist, looking at it carefully, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Yuhuai said softly: "No."
Chi Ze suddenly made a sharp turn to interrupt them, but unexpectedly, he gave Jiang Yuhuai a chance to show his courtesy.
