Zhixi didn’t speak imdiately because she was still considering her strategy. She could not just leave alone; after all, everyone else, including the doctor, was innocent.
But before she could think of a good excuse, a man in the corner suddenly spoke loudly, "She’s lying! Her husband is clearly a rich man, tall and handso, like a mixed-race... I just saw him outside!"
"Yes, I saw him too!" others imdiately echoed.
Chen Jianguo’s sinister gaze imdiately shifted to her, "Is what they’re saying true?"
"No," Zhixi said calmly, "The man they’re talking about is my brother. In fact, my husband doesn’t even know I’m pregnant yet; I was planning to tell him after confirming it."
Although her face remained calm, her heart was truly speechless. This was the vile nature of people; seeing no hope of escape for themselves, they still desperately tried to drag her down.
Perhaps because her response was too calm and her answer very smooth, Chen Jianguo fell silent for a mont, his murky eyes still fixed on her.
"You are very beautiful, my wife is not as beautiful as you," Chen Jianguo suddenly sneered, "A beautiful woman needing to go on a blind date? Would she marry an ordinary person? I don’t believe it!"
"I’m just an ordinary woman too, even if I’m slightly prettier, so what? There are many beautiful won," Zhixi explained calmly, "Although my husband is ordinary, he treats very well. He is the best person in the world to , so... I really love him."
By the end, she couldn’t help but choke up a little.
Chen Jianguo stared at her intently, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "Fine, you can go."
"The doctor, he’s innocent too..." Zhixi couldn’t help but speak up.
"Hmph, you either leave alone or stay here," Chen Jianguo scoffed coldly.
The doctor was quite calm and whispered to her, "Go quickly, don’t worry about us."
Escaping was better than everyone dying there.
Zhixi didn’t insist any further; she wouldn’t let go of this opportunity for anything, even if it ant being selfish and cold-hearted for once, for the sake of the child in her belly. As for the others... she had tried her best.
Zhixi slowly walked toward the door, Chen Jianguo still fiddling with a lighter, his body exuding malice.
Her heartbeat was extrely fast, but her steps remained steady. As she reached the door, Chen Jianguo slightly shifted his body to clear a path for her.
As Zhixi passed by him, he suddenly revealed a sinister smile.
Zhixi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
As if driven by an instinct to survive, she suddenly sped up, rushing towards the outside! In a daze, she felt her arm being grabbed, but she desperately shook it free! At that mont, behind her ca an utterly terrifying scream, along with the hissing sound of a fuse burning.
...From beginning to end, Chen Jianguo had never planned to let anyone go! He was just playing them!
Fear montarily seized her heart! She vaguely rembered the scene from four years ago; the blast of fire suddenly exploded before her eyes, wondering if history was repeating itself.
No, it couldn’t happen, she couldn’t die! For He Jingyao, for Xiaobao, and for the child in her belly, she absolutely couldn’t die!
Unnoticed, her face beca covered with cold tears, and the scene before her blurred, but she still instinctively ran forward as fast and as far as she could!
