Leon winced in pain and instinctively shouted to those around him, "Help! Help!"
If this continues, he'll definitely be beaten to death.
But the man didn't stop; instead, he hit harder: "What are you yelling for? Look around here, everyone's barely able to take care of themselves, who's going to come and save you? You'd better save your energy!"
As he spoke, he pushed Leon to the ground and kicked him hard.
With his small frame, Lyon was no match for him and was quickly beaten black and blue, howling in pain, "Ah!"
However, the man became increasingly excited, completely disregarding the fact that it was a human life at stake.
He rained down blows on Leon, venting his rage.
"I told you to help her, I told you to run, I told you to scream for help..."
At first, Lyon reacted somewhat after the first two blows.
But as the blows continued, he felt his breathing become rapid and his head grew heavier and heavier.
"Help, help me..."
After using all his strength to let out a final cry for help, he passed out.
Just as he was about to close his eyes, he saw a group of figures running towards him, and the one in the lead seemed to be... the girl who had imprisoned him that day.
...
When Li Ruo woke up again, she found herself lying in a warm, large bed.
She was startled and instinctively opened her eyes to look at her surroundings.
Turning his head, he saw Wen Huaiyan's cold and stern face.
She blinked in confusion, still a little disoriented: "Am I dreaming?"
Hearing her movement, Wen Huaiyan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
The moment he saw her, his gaze softened: "You're awake?"
As he spoke, he touched the girl's forehead with his large hand.
Only after discovering that the fever had subsided did they breathe a sigh of relief: "Don't be afraid, you're safe now!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo paused slightly, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Especially when I think about everything that has happened in the past few days, I become increasingly agitated.
"Very good!"
She suddenly sat up and threw herself into the man's broad arms: "I thought I would never see you again..."
Hearing her sobbing, Wen Huaiyan's heart tightened, and he instinctively hugged her tightly.
After doing all this, he was slightly stunned, and only then did he realize how much he cared about someone.
At the same time, she is also being cared for by someone else.
In that instant, he suddenly felt a desire not to be separated from her again.
Thinking of this, he sighed and, unusually frankly, said, "Me too."
Li Ruo was slightly taken aback, then rested her head on his shoulder and hugged him even tighter.
Faced with her reliance on him, Wen Huaiyan's eyes flickered, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
Just as the two were deeply in love, Sally suddenly burst in.
"Is Sister Li still not awake?"
However, when she saw the two embracing intimately, she froze on the spot.
"Um... Sister Li has... has she already woken up?"
Startled by the sudden commotion, Li Ruo quickly released Wen Huaiyan and lowered her head shyly.
After all, Sally is still a minor, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to see them hugging and cuddling like that.
Wen Huaiyan reacted quickly and changed the subject, saying, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, we were able to save you this time thanks to Sally."
"Yeah?"
Hearing this, Li Ruo couldn't help but be surprised: "How exactly did you rescue me?"
Speaking of this, Wen Huaiyan subconsciously glanced at the girl and explained, "It's a long story. It started when the girl found a boy on the street with your personal bracelet, so she took him back to question him. Later, we followed the boy to the slums, but just as we were about to go in to look for you, Darius came and stopped us. If it weren't for this girl secretly leading people in to look for you behind our backs, you and that boy would probably have fallen into Darius's hands again by now."
This was the first time he had ever spoken at such a long length. After he finished, his deep gaze fell on Li Ruo, and he said softly, "Fortunately, it's not too late."
"I see."
How could Li Ruo not perceive the meaning in his gaze?
She sighed softly, forcing back the tingling sensation coursing through her body: "Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."
But before she could finish speaking, Sally interrupted her: "Sister Li, you don't need to be so polite with me. You saved me before, so it's only right that I save you now."
Despite saying that, Li Ruo still felt a little guilty and said, "Anyway, I still want to thank you. Once I'm better, I will definitely prepare a generous gift to thank you. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
After all, her act of saving Sally last time was considered a heroic act, but Sally also put in a lot of effort to save her, even risking her life, so the meaning was completely different.
However, Sally shook her head repeatedly and refused, saying, "I don't want to. If you keep being so polite to me, I'll really get angry. I'm already very happy that President Wen was able to cooperate with my brother and deal a heavy blow to Darius. Please don't be so polite to me, Sister Li."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo didn't say anything more, but simply said solemnly again, "Thank you."
