☆, Chapter 120: Seeking Death?
There are some things we absolutely cannot let her investigate.
After much internal struggle, a word quickly formed in my mind, and I pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Turning to look at An Li, a hint of apology flashed across her face, and then she said seriously, "I'm sorry, there's something I've been keeping from you."
Upon hearing this, An Li's expression changed, and she was about to rebuke him when Lu Ziyi continued to speak.
"I lied to you. I know that woman."
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" An Li frowned, her tone cold.
"I was just afraid you'd overthink it, but I never expected that woman would insist on sowing discord between us."
"As you can see, I've always been this cold to her. You know I'm usually gentle with people, so why would I suddenly be sarcastic and cynical towards someone?"
Listening to Lu Ziyi's explanation, An Li recalled the scene just now, and after confirming that everything was correct, her expression softened slightly.
Lu Ziyi noticed the change in her expression and continued, "She is a married woman. She had been pestering me for a while, but I rejected her directly."
"Later, she somehow found out that the person I cared about was you, so she deliberately tried to smear my image in front of you in order to take the opportunity to get revenge on me."
Lu Ziyi explained the matter in just a few words. If Jiang Ran heard his explanation...
They will be amazed that someone could distort the truth to such an extent!
"What?!" Sure enough, An Li's expression turned cold instantly upon hearing this, and she sneered, "That woman is shameless to this extent?"
Jiang Ran's image had fallen to the dust in her heart at this moment. Thinking that she had almost wronged him because of her instigation, she felt very guilty.
"Hmm." Lu Ziyi nodded slightly and echoed, "That kind of person can't stand seeing others do well. Don't pay attention to her and don't let her affect your mood."
An Li looked displeased, her eyes filled with resentment, and nodded haphazardly.
Lu Ziyi noticed that An Li was full of disgust for Jiang Ran, but no longer fixated on him, and he immediately felt relieved.
That was close, I almost got caught...
Recalling Jiang Ran's cold mockery of him today, a hint of hatred flashed in Lu Ziyi's eyes.
Jiang Ran really didn't expect that she would meet Lu Ziyi again so soon.
After receiving the offline order, she began to prepare.
On the way back to the villa, the sky was darkening when Jiang Ran suddenly saw a black Audi blocking the road ahead. She looked displeased and honked the horn a few times.
A person slowly stepped out of the car. Jiang Ran took a closer look, her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Lu Ziyi?
What is he doing here?
Lu Ziyi slowly walked to the front of the car and knocked on the window.
Jiang Ran rolled down the car window, her expression full of displeasure, and asked in a cold voice, "What is it?"
Lu Ziyi's lips curled slightly, a hint of mockery flashing across his face: "Want to chat?"
"I don't think we have anything to talk about anymore," Jiang Ran said bluntly. Then, she looked up at the car in front of her and scoffed, "You deliberately blocked my way home, does An Li know? Besides... this car must be expensive."
Hearing her mention An Li, a hint of inferiority flashed across Lu Ziyi's face.
This car does indeed belong to Anli, but he has been driving it ever since they got together.
The thought of her mocking him as a "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success) instantly brought a sinister look to Lu Ziyi's face.
"Jiang Ran!" Lu Ziyi shouted through gritted teeth.
Jiang Ran looked at him quietly, lowered her eyes and sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. Then she tapped the steering wheel with her index finger and slowly spoke.
"Never mind, I'm free now anyway. Since you've come all this way, let's chat."
As he spoke, he pointed to the car in front of him: "Move your car, it's not good to block other people's way."
After saying that, without paying attention to whether Lu Ziyi was still standing by the car, he rolled up the window, gently turned the steering wheel, and slowly pulled over to the side of the road.
Upon seeing this, Lu Ziyi's face darkened, but he still moved the car aside and parked it.
“I ran into Song Yuqing a while ago,” Jiang Ran spoke first, her tone sarcastic. “I don’t understand. You were the one who abandoned her, so how can she put all the blame on me?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi, completely unconcerned that Jiang Ran had discovered his relationship with Song Yuqing, instead scoffed coldly, "Aren't you to blame?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled.
Then Lu Ziyi continued, "If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up in this situation?"
"Blame me?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran found it inexplicably laughable and suddenly scoffed, "If you're so good at twisting the truth, why don't you become a screenwriter?"
As he spoke, he glanced coldly at Lu Ziyi, his face showing disdain: "It's really a waste for you to rely on women every day."
"Jiang Ran!" Lu Ziyi shouted angrily. He hated it most when it came to talking about women.
"What? You can't even say what you did?" Jiang Ran's eyes flashed with coldness.
"I really don't know where you get the nerve to kidnap my child and expect me to bail you out? Do you really think you're someone important? Don't you have a brain?"
Jiang Ran launched into her accusations, completely oblivious to the increasingly grim expression on Lu Ziyi's face.
"Heh..." Lu Ziyi sneered, "But even so, weren't you still completely fooled by me before?"
"What's the use of waking up now? You've lost your reputation, what do you have left? Do you really think the Si family will still tolerate you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's expression remained unchanged, and the corners of her lips curled slightly: "It's still better than you being useless and relying on women."
"You!" Lu Ziyi instantly bristled like a hedgehog with its feathers standing on end, his expression changing drastically: "You're courting death!"
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, about to attack Jiang Ran.
Little did they know, their actions were being observed by the person lurking in the shadows.
Seeing Lu Ziyi step forward, the man in the shadows frowned, preparing to step forward to help.
Before he had taken more than a few steps, he saw the situation reverse in an instant. Jiang Ran dodged his move by sidestepping and struck him squarely in the chest with her elbow with all her might.
Lu Ziyi winced in pain and involuntarily took a few steps back. Jiang Ran took the opportunity to grab his arm and throw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
Upon seeing this, a look of shock flashed across the face of the person in the shadows, followed by a slight smile.
Lu Ziyi was originally furious and wanted to make a move, but he was caught off guard and ended up being the one who got beaten.
As Shen Yin lay on the ground, Jiang Ran slowly walked up to him, squatted down, and a mocking look flashed across her face.
"Hitting a woman? That's really something!"
Then she stood up and kicked him, saying, "If you don't want to be photographed and make the news, you'd better get out of here."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After getting in the car, I saw Lu Ziyi struggling to get up in the rearview mirror because he had landed face-first when he fell.
Now his once proud face is instantly bruised and swollen.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran smiled gently, and her mood instantly brightened.
"Trying to fight me? You'd better go back to the drawing board and start over!"
She is an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, so she naturally knows which acupoints are most harmful to people. Don't be fooled by her simple movements; she is actually finding the most painful spots.
And I used a lot of force. Although it won't break any bones, it will still hurt for ten days or half a month and I won't be able to rest well.
Jiang Ran slowly withdrew her gaze and sneered coldly, "Serves you right!"
Then he stepped on the gas and drove towards the villa.
The person who had been hiding in the shadows turned to leave after she left, but then suddenly remembered something, turned back and gave Lu Ziyi a meaningful look before turning away.
Lu Ziyi's face was bruised and swollen, and there was no way to hide it.
When An Li saw that Lu Ziyi had only gone out for a short while and returned in this state, a look of shock flashed across her face: "Ziyi, what... what happened to you?!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly pulled him to sit on the sofa, took out the first-aid kit, and applied the medicine to his wound.
A dark glint flashed in Lu Ziyi's eyes, his face showing displeasure. He said coldly, "I was caught off guard and that woman maliciously retaliated against me."
His words were ambiguous, making no mention of the fact that he had provoked the mockery and even wanted to strike first.
"How dare she?!" An Li looked at Lu Ziyi with a hint of heartache in her eyes, then said sternly, "Leave this matter to me."
"No." Lu Ziyi quickly said, then slowly shook his head, deliberately making a show of being considerate of her.
"Lily, don't get involved in this. Listen to me, just accept this loss."
"Why?" An Li looked puzzled, but then her eyes flashed and she instantly realized the deeper meaning in his words.
