CHAPTER 160
Instinctively, both of them looked up at the intruder and her eyes widened. She knew that face anywhere, be in clad or hidden by a shade, she could tell any ti and any day just who it was.
"Who do you think you are to butt in here?" Hong Haoran asked in anger, standing up from his seat.
Ignoring his outburst, the handso stranger spoke. "Get up let’s leave."
"Hey you, I am talking to you. How dare you ignore ?" Hong Haoran was pissed beyond compare.
All the while, Li Jing’s gaze did not peel off of the young man’s face as her mouth still parted a bit, unable to form any words.
"Didn’t you hear ? Get up let us go."
"I am talking to you." Hong Haoran spoke yet again but this ti he poked the handso stranger.
Without saying anything more, he made her drop the drink and pulled her up on her feet, ignoring the ranting young man close by.
Seeing as he was completely ignored, Hong Haoran held his shoulder, preventing him from advancing forward and was about hitting the handso stranger when he turned to face him and gave him a heavy punch on the nose.
"Ahh!" He cried out and imdiately held his broken nose, only for a red liquid to ooze out of the broken nose.
With a panic-stricken face, Hong Haoran looked up at the person that dealt him the blow and was ready to attack when the mysterious handso young man took off his shade and the face he saw, left him tongue-tied.
"Ye Cheng."
"You dared to spike her drink? Tell , who sent you."
"I did no such thing. Miss Li Jing and I are friends." At the ntion of a spiked drink, Li Jing’s eyes widened and she returned her gaze back to the half filed glass of wine on the table.
"You still wish to deny it?"
"I swear on my life. I did not do any such thing."
"Good then. Wang Lei." The next thing Li Jing and Hong Haoran knew, another young man seated at a corner in the restaurant stood up from his seat and made his way towards where they stood and brought out his phone from his pocket and then passed it over to Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng clicked on the phone screen and showed it to Hong Haoran who was barely able to stand at this point.
His eyes widened in shock and he was left speechless by the video that was shown. Li Jing wanted to see what they showed him but Ye Cheng did not let her but instead pulled her behind him.
"Who sent you?"
"I am sorry." Hong Haioran apologized.
"Not the answer I am looking for. Yi Wang Lei."
"Yes."
"Take him and question him."
"Noted." Yi Wang Lei took one look at the stunned and confused Li Jing before walking past them and went to stand at the side of Hong Haoran and held him by his collar.
"Please, Ye Cheng. Have rcy."
"Not good enough." With that, Ye Cheng gave Wang Lei a nod and walked out of the restaurant, pulling Li Jing along with him.
They got outside and his car was waiting for them. One of his bodyguards opened the door for them to enter before closing it and entering the front seat then they drove away.
"What were you doing there?" Li Jing suddenly asked out of the blue.
Without saying anything, Ye Cheng ignored her and fixed his gaze back on the road ahead.
"Answer , Ye Cheng. Why were you there? Are you following now?"
As she spoke, her head began to ache and she began to feel drowsy, causing her to shake and move her head from side to side as she spoke.
"Ye Cheng!"
Hearing her scream his na like that, Ye Cheng was forced to look at her. He could not deny the fact that she looked good just sitting down there looking like a pouting confused child.
"Yes, I followed you," Ye Cheng stated sharply.
"Why? I can take care of myself and choose whom I go out with."
"And where did that get you to? If I hadn’t been there on ti, do you know what would have happened to you?" Your drink was spiked. That is the kind of person you went out with."
"But he saved ."
"It was a setup, Li Jing. This is why I told you to not go anywhere without Hua Duyi. If anything happens, I can rest assure that you are okay and he can reach easily and I would be there. But no, Li Jing wants to go out on her own."
"Hey, are you shouting at ?"
"Yes, I am. You are one stubborn mule. How can you just go out with a random stranger like that?"
"How sure are you that he spiked my drink? It may just be a misunderstanding," Li Jing said ekly.
A part of her knew that he was right and that was why the drink tasted different sohow.
Still, it may not have been the case and it was just his excuse for not wanting her to relate with others. She did not like to be controlled this way and that is why she sotis just go out without his knowledge.
"You are being defiant, Li Jing but since you want proof, relax I would give it to you." He took his phone out of his pocket and went to his videos then clicked on a certain video and handed her the phone.
It was a video showing how Hong Haoran was putting the white substance in her drink and unknown to him, he was being videoed.
He saw the pained and confused look on her face and knew what she was thinking. So even before she could ask again, he decided to clarify things right away.
"Yi Wang Lei overheard you two when you t yesterday and today and fixed the date. He was sceptical about him and had him looked up. At the sa ti, he had the CCTV footage checked and saw that the timing of the save was all planned."
"What do you an by all planned?" Li Jing asked, blinking her eyes severally at him.
