Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi, wondering why he suddenly brought this up. She had already had some guesses when he injured his hand while catching a spider for her last time, but now that Xiao Jingxi said it himself, Ren Yaoqi understood.
Xiao Jingxi coughed lightly, glanced away, and whispered, "So, I'm not as weak as you think." After saying this, Xiao Jingxi's ears slowly turned red.
Ren Yaoqi blinked and looked at him blankly, then her face turned red, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"I, I didn't think about anything." Ren Yaoqi was a little angry and embarrassed, and couldn't help but glare at Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Jingxi looked at her again, but Ren Yaoqi still glared at him.
As Xiao Jingxi watched, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and smile. Ren Yaoqi stared at him and also chuckled.
The atmosphere in the car became inexplicably light again.
At this time, it was already dark outside. Fortunately, the place where Ren Yaoqi was assassinated was not far from Baihe Town. Although Xiao Jingxi had ordered Tong He, who was driving the car outside, to slow down, they arrived at Baihe Town.
The two of them sat in the car without saying much, but neither of them felt awkward. It seemed that just sitting there quietly, thinking nothing, saying nothing, and just closing their eyes to rest could make time pass quickly.
The carriage finally stopped in front of the Ren family's gate. The Ren family's doorman ran over to ask if the fifth young lady had returned. Apple, who had been dozing off against the carriage door, immediately sat up straight.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi: "I'm going down."
Xiao Jingxi nodded and warned: "Don't let the wound come into contact with water. Wipe it every two hours, and there will be no scars in the future."
Ren Yaoqi agreed and helped Pingguo get off the carriage.
Only after Ren Yaoqi's men entered the gate of Ren Mansion did Xiao Jingxi order the carriage to turn around and go back.
It was already late when Xiao Jingxi returned to Baiyun Temple. Tongde, who had disappeared for a while, came forward to report, "Sir, all the assassins have been apprehended today. The news that Miss Ren Wu was sitting in the carriage will not be spread."
Xiao Jingxi at this moment was completely different from the Xiao Jingxi who had been sitting in the carriage with Ren Yaoqi. He paused and asked calmly, "Are there any survivors?"
Tongde lowered his head and replied, "Two people were still alive when they were caught, but they later bit their tongues and committed suicide."
Xiao Jingxi wasn't surprised either: "People like them usually have family members whose lives are held in the hands of others. But even if nothing is revealed, it's not difficult to guess who did it."
Xiao Jingxi chuckled and said, "There have always been many people who want me dead, but the only ones who dare to act in Yanzhou and find those low-ranking desperadoes are those who think they are lucky."
