Chapter 407 - Chapter 407 Chapter 407 Always Together

Chapter 407: Chapter 407 Always Together Chapter 407: Chapter 407 Always Together Li Jingming had no guard up, stumbled forward several steps, and came to his senses.

“Xue’er, what’s wrong?”

“It should be me asking you what’s wrong.” Chu Yixue looked at Li Jingming with a hint of disdain and contempt hidden in her eyes, “What are you thinking about? You look so distracted, as if you’ve done something wrong!”

“Xue’er, today Zhong Niangyao returned to school unharmed, didn’t you see?” Li Jingming’s tone carried a hint of nervousness, “Also, did you not hear what she said today? She must know those people were sent by us, she won’t let us off.”

“Shut up,” Chu Yixue whispered sharply, “What are you talking about? We haven’t done anything, what is there to fear?”

“But–” Li Jingming had just begun to speak when Chu Yixue interrupted him.

“Stop talking,” Chu Yixue said firmly, looking at Li Jingming, “Regardless, this time Zhong Niangyao has escaped. But even if she knows it was us, what can she do? She has no evidence.”

“If she really had evidence, she would have already handed it over to the police by now, and she wouldn’t be here talking to us in such equivocal terms. Don’t scare yourself.”

She wasn’t afraid at all, because from beginning to end, all matters were handled by Li Jingming, she wasn’t involved at all.

Even if something did happen, she could completely disassociate herself from it. However, these words couldn’t be said in front of Li Jingming, for fear that he might lose his sanity.

Hearing Chu Yixue’s words, Li Jingming tried to calm himself, but the panic inside him couldn’t be completely dismissed, “Even if she has no evidence, she won’t let us off. You saw it too today, her words, not one of them suggested she’d just let this go.”

“That’s why we must act first now!” A fierce glint flashed in Chu Yixue’s eyes, “We are already in a situation of ‘neither die nor rest’ with Zhong Niangyao. If we don’t deal with her soon, it will be us who end up dead.”

Hearing Chu Yixue’s words, Li Jingming was startled, “Xue’er, you still plan to continue–”

“Not me, us.” Chu Yixue took Li Jingming’s hand, “Brother Jingming, we have no other choice now. Didn’t you say it too? Zhong Niangyao already knows we were behind it. How could someone as vengeful as her let us off? If we truly do nothing now, we will indeed be sitting ducks.”

Chu Yixue’s words plunged Li Jingming into silence. He couldn’t help but squat down, grabbing his hair, his face full of frustration.

By now, he was filled with immense regret. If only he had known, he would never have taken action at the start. Just as Chu Yixue said, he couldn’t even stop now if he wanted to.

“Brother Jingming, I know you’re troubled,” Chu Yixue also squatted down, hiding the disdain in her eyes and spoke softly, “We have no choice but to proceed now. Brother Jingming, think about your current situation.”

“You just secured your position in the Lai family’s company, and there are many opportunities ahead. If you were to lose all that, would you really be content? Now, Zhong Niangyao has become a stumbling block on your path to success. If you don’t remove her, you could lose everything at any moment.”

“Think about it, without Zhong Niangyao, you can have a bright future. I will help you in the future, and you will definitely become an important figure in the Lai family.”

Sentence by sentence, with tempting words, Li Jingming’s originally hesitant expression firmed up, “Xue’er, you’re right, we absolutely can’t let Zhong Niangyao hinder our path. It’s just–”

As he spoke, hesitation appeared on Li Jingming’s face, “But, Zhong Niangyao is not easy to deal with. You saw too, those people this time were desperadoes. Even they couldn’t handle Zhong Niangyao, what can we do?”

Chu Yixue’s eyes flashed with uncertainty, then said, “Now, we can’t coexist with Zhong Niangyao. Since even those people can’t deal with Zhong Niangyao, we might have to resort to some special measures.”

“What measures?” Li Jingming was curious.

Chu Yixue leaned close to Li Jingming’s ear, whispering a few words.

After listening to Chu Yixue, Li Jingming’s eyes widened in disbelief. However, in the end, he nodded, agreeing with Chu Yixue’s suggestion.

After all, he didn’t have many other options now.

Once again addressing the issue, apparently having a common interest at this moment! Whether it was from the heart or just a facade, the relationship between them sweetened.

It was getting late, and the two planned to leave soon to return to the classroom for class.

Just as they were about to leave, Li Jingming suddenly stopped, grabbed Chu Yixue’s hand, and out of the blue asked, “Xue’er, you won’t leave me, right?”

Startled by the sudden grab, Chu Yixue then heard Li Jingming’s question, she hesitated for a moment, then quickly responded, “Of course, Brother Jingming, the person I’ve liked has always been you. It was so in the past, it is so now, and it will be so in the future.”

Hearing Chu Yixue’s words, Li Jingming didn’t feel reassured, but rather felt a strange emotion spreading deep in his heart. This emotion prevented him from being at ease.

He stepped forward, embracing Chu Yixue in his arms, his head buried in her neck, and spoke softly, “Xue’er, remember what you’ve said, we will always be together.”

“But, whether you remember or not doesn’t matter. Everything I do now is for you, and we’re all in this together now. If I get in trouble, you won’t escape it either.”

Listening to Li Jingming’s words, Chu Yixue’s heart skipped a beat; she didn’t understand what Li Jingming meant. But for now, all she could do was try to soothe Li Jingming.

“Brother Jingming, we can definitely stay together forever. I won’t forget everything you’ve done for me.”
