"I almost lost my life; let’s see if you dare to overestimate yourself in the future."
After pulling Shi Keke into his arms, Shi i couldn’t help but chide her, his voice as indifferent as before, devoid of any warmth.
Hearing this familiar voice and feeling his warmth, Shi Keke finally snapped out of her trance, realizing she hadn’t fallen off the cliff.
While taking a sigh of relief, her expression returned to normal, and she looked up at Shi i, "Didn’t you leave? How co you are here?"
At her words, Shi i raised his sword eyebrows and pushed her away to scrutinize her from head to toe.
If he hadn’t grabbed her in ti just now, she would’ve been smashed to pieces.
Other won would either cry or make a scene when facing such a situation, but her? She acted as if nothing had happened?
"Brother, your gaze is too explicit. Can you restrain yourself a bit? It’s not appropriate for you to look at like that."
Hearing her say this, Shi i’s eyes narrowed dangerously, "What’s inappropriate about looking at my sister?"
"But you are clearly looking at with the eyes of a lover."
"Shi Keke, what in the world is going on in your head?" His voice turned even colder.
"So legal knowledge, a bit of common law, nothing else."
"..."
"There’s no helping it; the legal profession is so competitive I must always keep learning."
"Shi Keke." Shi i interrupted her, lowering his voice: "Do you realize you almost died just now?"
"I know." Having faced a life-and-death ordeal, Shi Keke seed nonchalant, "If I had fallen just now, at worst, I would’ve gone ahead of you all. Death is not scary when you’re actually facing it."
"Not afraid of dying, then why bother calming the other person’s emotions?" Shi i’s voice was lower, carrying an oppressive undertone.
"Not being afraid of death doesn’t an I want to die."
Shi i: "..."
What was initially a cold gaze gradually beca profound, flickering with light and darkness, unfathomably deep.
Shi Keke yawned lazily, "Brother, I’m hungry."
Knowing she was changing the subject, Shi i didn’t say anything more. He casually put his hands back in his pockets, turned, and walked away. After a few steps, he said coldly, "Follow."
Shi Keke smiled and quickly caught up with him.
Before leaving, she called the police to deal with the scene and inford them that she would go to the police station later to give her statent.
"Master, do we need to follow them?"
From the shadows, Mo Qingxin frowned deeply as she watched Shi Keke being led away by Shi i.
She asked, but Mo Jin only shook his head gently.
With his hands behind his back, he stood straight, and under the night sky, he appeared surreal, like a character etched from a painting.
He was silent for a mont before slowly stating, "At least three assassins are lurking around, and these three assassins harbor no hostility. They were aware of that woman barging in just now, and they chose not to act, most likely because soone higher up had given the order."
"Does the Master an that the mission of those assassins was not to harm Princess Sheng but to protect her? And their master is the man who just took Princess Sheng away?"
Mo Jin nodded, looking in the direction where Shi Keke had left, suddenly smiling, "I admire him, because he is a man not to be underestimated. He controls the power over the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands, arguably more powerful than I am as a President."
