However, this bitterness did not last long as Zhou Li’s heart swelled with emotion upon recalling Leng Xuan’s actions that evening. For her sake, he had risked his life, and that alone was enough for her. Why should she harbor any lingering resentnt? Besides, a man as outstanding as Leng Xuan was bound to attract many beautiful girls; she couldn’t let a bit of selfishness negate her feelings for him.
Zhou Li thought to herself that love doesn’t always require equal effort from both parties. Since she liked him, she should strive to win his affection, rather than passively wait for him to co to her. Although the four great beauties of Longteng High School put a lot of pressure on her, wasn’t this also proof of her good judgnt? It confird that the man she fancied was indeed a real man.
While checking the numbers in Leng Xuan’s phone, Zhou Li couldn’t find any contacts listed as relatives. What should she do now?
Just then, Leng Xuan’s phone rang. Zhou Li saw it was a text ssage. Opening it, she saw it was from Li ngjie, which read, "When are you coming back? We’re about to go to sleep."
Zhou Li was stunned. They were... living together? For a mont, her mind was in turmoil. Shaking her head, Zhou Li cast aside these distracting thoughts. Now was not the ti to dwell on such things. She hit the callback button and made the call.
Soon, the call was answered, and Li ngjie’s pleasant voice ca through, "Hello! I said that a text ssage would have been enough, why call back?"
Zhou Li took a deep breath and said, "Hello, I’m Zhou Li. May I please speak to Li ngjie?"
The voice on the other end paused for a mont before asking, "This is she. Why are you using Leng Xuan’s phone? Is there sothing you need from ?"
"Leng Xuan is injured and currently in the hospital. I couldn’t find his relatives, and since you texted, I decided to call you."
"What?" Li ngjie’s voice was full of surprise. "How did he get injured, is it serious? Which hospital are you at? We will co right away."
"He’s still under treatnt, and I’m not clear about the specifics. We’re at the City People’s Hospital."
"Okay, we’ll be there soon." After saying that, Li ngjie hung up the phone.
The first to arrive at the hospital was Su Zhenggang, who imdiately rushed over after receiving a notification from his subordinates. Captain Wan and Wu Ming hurried to et him, and Su Zhenggang asked, "How is Leng Xuan?"
Captain Wan replied, "We’re not sure yet, he’s still being examined. When we found him, his condition was quite bad."
Su Zhenggang then asked, "What about the girl who was abducted? Is she also here?"
"You an Zhou Li? She’s sitting over there." Saying this, Captain Wan led Su Zhenggang to where Zhou Li was and introduced him, "This is Captain Su Zhenggang of our criminal investigation team."
Zhou Li stood up and said, "Hello, Captain Su."
"Please, sit down!" Su Zhenggang responded with a smile, "Leng Xuan and I are friends; you don’t need to feel uncomfortable around . Zhou Li, I’d like to ask if you recognize the person who abducted you. Could you describe what he looks like so I can put out a warrant for his arrest?"
"I don’t know him," Zhou Li shook her head. "But he knows Huang Xiaojun. Huang was present when he abducted ." She then went on to provide a detailed description of Flower Butterfly’s appearance and said, "He seed to be injured after clashing with Leng Xuan, quite badly, which is why he fled and left us behind."
