Jiang Yilai wanted to find out what leverage Li Luyao had over her so that she could find a way to help her.
However, Jiang Xueer was very emotional and could not easily trust this stranger.
“Ms. Ji, I know we are not familiar with each other, and it’s normal that you don’t trust me, but I am a professional lawyer who specializes in solving problems for others. You can trust my professional ethics.”
Ji Xue'er shook her head: "No one can help me. He won't let go of the opportunity to take advantage of me."
“I have known Li Luyao for several years. Although he is extreme in some things, I have never seen him hurt anyone.”
"Now you see, this is how he destroyed everything I had."
Jiang Yilai took a deep breath and said, "You still don't understand. What ruined you wasn't him, but this weakness. Only by getting rid of this weakness can you prevent it from becoming a stumbling block for you in the future."
These words startled Ji Xue'er, who looked at her with alarm. "What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Yilai patiently explained, "What you must understand is that there are absolutely no secrets in this world; paper can never completely keep out fire."
As long as there's still leverage over you, a second person, or even a third, can seize upon it. Are you going to let yourself be controlled by others because of that?
Ji Xue'er staggered back two steps, her eyes filled with panic, unable to believe what would happen if this actually happened.
I thought that once I resolved the issue with Li Luyao, no one would bring it up again.
But what Jiang Yilai is saying now makes a lot of sense.
As long as this leverage remains, it can still threaten her in the future.
"I hope you can believe me and give me a chance to make amends. I also bear some responsibility for this incident."
It was his own closeness with Fu Nanxiao that ignited the hatred in Li Luyao's heart, and he bore some responsibility for that, which is why he wanted to resolve the issue better.
Ji Xueer asked seriously, "Are you telling the truth?"
“I’m staying in this city and I won’t leave. If there are any problems, you can always come back to me. You need to let me go now before things escalate.”
If Fu Nanxiao or Li Luyao were to find this place and discover these circumstances, the problem wouldn't be solved so easily.
However, Ji Xue'er still had some concerns, so she reached out and placed her hand on the rope, then let go.
"If I untie it like this, you'll definitely run away."
"I promise you I won't run away, and I'll solve this problem with you."
Perhaps sensing Jiang Yilai's sincerity, Ji Xueer began to untie the rope with her.
As a result, when we were halfway through solving the puzzle, we heard the sound of a car. Even though the sound was very faint, it was exceptionally clear in this desolate and quiet place.
Before Jiang Yilai could react, she tied the person up again and said frantically, "It's too late, it must be them coming, they won't let me go, they won't let me go!"
Seeing that she was losing control of her emotions, Jiang Yilai quickly comforted her: "Even if they come, they only want to save me. As long as I step in, they will definitely not make things difficult for you. You should have faith in me."
Ji Xue'er shook her head, mainly because she was afraid of the two people and couldn't calm down when she heard these noises.
'ah!'
A scream suddenly came from outside the room, startling the two of them. It was clear that the person who came was very violent, and the atmosphere inside the room froze instantly.
Ji Xueer regained her senses and swallowed hard, then quickly searched the room for something to resist.
Finally, she found a rusty knife in the corner and rushed to Jiang Yilai to confront the person.
