Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, the girl was initially puzzled and wary, and quickly shrank back.
Seeing this, the bodyguard whispered a reminder: "Miss Li is the one who saved you."
Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes widened suddenly, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope for salvation. She grabbed Li Ruo's hand: "Is it really you? Thank you..."
Her features were small and delicate, and her bright green eyes were filled with tears. She clearly had the appearance of a foreigner, but when she spoke, she spoke fluent Mandarin.
Li Ruo was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses: "It was nothing, don't mention it."
"No..."
But the girl wouldn't listen at all; her thin body continued to tremble.
Li Ruo shook her head, gently patted her back, and comforted her, "It's all over now, don't worry about it..."
With her comforting words, the girl's emotions gradually calmed down.
She wiped away her tears and said gratefully again, "Thank you."
"Anyone would step in in that situation, don't be polite with me."
As they spoke, Li Ruo noticed that it was getting dark outside and couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Little sister, can you tell me where you live?"
The girl doesn't look like an orphan at all; she seems more like someone who has been pampered and raised.
If her family knew that something like this had happened to her, they would be frantic with worry!
However, when this topic was brought up, the girl's eyes darted away, and she remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Li Ruo couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Just as she was about to ask more questions, a group of people suddenly burst into the ward.
The leading man was tall and imposing. When he saw Li Ruo seemingly interrogating the girl, his expression changed instantly, and he roared, "Arrest her!"
"you……"
Before Li Ruo could react, her wrist was tightly gripped.
"Miss Li!"
Upon seeing this, the bodyguard immediately stepped forward to rescue her.
But he was alone, while the man brought more than a dozen people.
Two fists can't fight four hands, and he was quickly knocked to the ground.
Seeing that things were getting serious, the girl widened her eyes and hurriedly said, "Brother, you've misunderstood them! Release Miss Li immediately!"
Hearing her hoarse voice, the man's fierce expression paused, instantly softening: "Sally, you've suffered."
He was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows as sharp as blades, and his face was extremely handsome.
But at this moment, she inappropriately revealed a hint of heartache.
Seeing this, the girl called Sally pushed his face away without hesitation, looking quite disgusted: "Shut up, I said let them go!"
"Why did you let her go? Wasn't it because she wanted to sell you?"
He had already investigated thoroughly before he came!
These bastards dared to target his sister; they're practically asking for death.
Sally was speechless for a moment, then said angrily, "No, it's not her. She's my savior. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be seeing me now!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Lie realized he had mistaken the person and hurriedly ordered his men, "Quickly, quickly, let go!"
As he spoke, he walked straight up to Li Ruo, his face full of apology: "Miss, I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Please forgive me."
Seeing this, Sally looked at Li Ruo somewhat embarrassedly, afraid that she would be angry.
Li Ruo rubbed her slightly sore wrist and gently shook her head: "It's okay, it's all clear now."
After all, anyone would be anxious and angry if their family heard about something like this.
It's understandable that one might act impulsively in the heat of the moment.
The more understanding she was, the more guilty Qin Lie felt: "No, no, no, it's my fault. I shouldn't have attacked Miss Li without understanding the situation. Miss Li, as a woman, was able to step forward to save my sister in such a critical moment. I am truly admirable and grateful. If Miss Li doesn't mind, please allow me to make some compensation and express my gratitude to her."
As he spoke, he gave his subordinate a look.
Upon receiving instructions, a man in black immediately brought over a box.
Upon opening it, I was surprised to find a whole box full of H country banknotes.
"Miss Li, please accept this."
Looking at the money, Li Ruo took two steps back and quickly waved her hand to refuse, "No, no need."
She helped the girl out of momentary pity, not out of a desire for compensation.
Qin Lie seemed to have misunderstood her, blinked and said, "Yes, Miss Li has an extraordinary temperament, she must be someone who is not short of money. I was rash, but after all, you saved my sister. How about we go out for a meal together and then go shopping for jewelry? Pick whatever you like today, I'll pay."
It's worth noting that country H's jewelry is among the best in the world, and many of their designs are so rare that they're practically priceless.
Judging from the man's demeanor just now, he was clearly not just an ordinary rich man.
She certainly didn't doubt the weight of those words!
The reason she helped at the time was simply because she was thinking of her past life.
If you charge a fee, then everything changes.
"Sir, thank you for your kindness, but I saved your sister not to gain anything from it, but simply out of a sense of justice."
With a subtle smile on her face, she said softly, "It's getting late. Now that Sally is safe, I'll head back first."
