Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Mutual Business Flattery

Xiyan crossed her arms, "Why should I save someone who, just a second ago, wanted me dead?"

Her breathing growing weaker, Xia Shiyi felt a sense of despair. The fear of death forced her to bow her head to Xiyan, "Please... I’m begging you... for the sake of my father... give me another chance..."

How ridiculous, does she still have the nerve to mention her father now?

"I’ve let you go time and time again because of your father, but this time, you’ve actually gone mad enough to harm a child. Do you deserve another chance?!"

Not to mention Xia’s father, even if a deity descended, they wouldn’t be able to save her now!

Xia Shiyi had been struggling, but gradually, her body lost all its strength...

Xiyan glanced at Xia Shiyi, who lay motionless, and quickly ran forward. Instinctively, she clung to Ou Jue’s arm, hiding behind him and weakly speaking, "She—she’s not really stopped breathing, has she?"

Ou Jue turned his eyes to look at Xiyan’s small hand on his arm.

Such an inadvertent little gesture, yet it instinctively pleased him.

Ou Jue straightened up and calmly spoke, "Just dying like that, wouldn’t that be too easy for her?"

Phew, that’s a relief.

Xiyan secretly let out a breath.

Little Baozi also ran over and spoke seriously, "Luoluo saw on TV that bad guys like this should go to jail. Kidnapping, attempted murder, according to national law, that’s at least ten years in prison!"

"Wow..." Xiyan was floored. Is this still a child? Luoluo is a prodigy!!

"Luoluo, you’re amazing~~ I’m so impressed with you~!"

"Hehehe~" Luoluo rubbed his little nose with his forefinger. Actually, he picked up these things from his brother and the police officer’s conversation on the way here.

But being worshiped by the young lady felt quite nice, so he’ll just pretend to be a prodigy.

Luoluo wore a proud little expression, "Oh, it’s okay, not as smart as the young lady. If it weren’t for the young lady, Luoluo would still be trapped by the villain!"

"No way, our Luoluo is the best, both handsome and smart!"

"No, no, it’s the young lady who sees through everything, beautiful and wise!"

Ou Jue stood coldly to the side, simply observing.

You two, that’s enough. Even mutual flattery has its limits.

The sky outside was turning dark.

From the time Luoluo went missing to being found, it took less than 24 hours!

The police took away the unconscious Xia Shiyi and Luo Xueying, whose legs had gone weak, leaving her too scared to say anything.

Just as Luoluo said, these two... would probably spend the rest of their lives in prison, with no chance of redemption.

Huh?

Xiyan then noticed, not far off, Yin Qianze had also arrived.

She ran over with a radiant smile, "Have you been here the whole time? I thought you hadn’t come."

Looking at Xiyan’s smiling face, Yin Qianze’s facial lines remained as gentle as ever.

Yet deep in his eyes lay a trace of hidden disappointment.

He had seen every bit of the interaction between Xiyan and Ou Jue.

The two of them... really worked together seamlessly, flawlessly.

This kind of tacit understanding seemed innate.

Ou Jue was the brother he had played with since childhood. Yin Qianze wasn’t jealous of Ou Jue, but he was... envious.

He smiled slightly, bending a bit to look Xiyan in the eye, his usually clear voice somewhat hoarse, "I couldn’t stop worrying about you... all of you, so I came."
