Chapter 370: 370 Li Xiyi’s Weakness_1

Half of Li Xiyi’s face was still covered by her hair. In her eyes was a plea for compassion as she curled up motionless in the corner.

Lu Qingyi halted her footsteps, staring at Li Xiyi.

The heart of the man with the scar suddenly skipped a beat, his expression becoming somewhat flustered.

Xu Boyan softly furrowed his brows, turning to look at the scarred man, his gaze icy.

"Boss..."

Upon meeting Xu Boyan’s gaze, the scarred man felt his heart lodge in his throat.

He knew exactly what was happening to Li Xiyi right now.

"Tell me, what happened, hm?"

Lu Qingyi remained in place, her voice surprisingly gentle as she looked at Li Xiyi, slowly asking.

"I’m...fine."

Li Xiyi offered Lu Qingyi a forced smile as a tear slid down her cheek.

Lu Qingyi gently frowned, striding towards Li Xiyi. She could be sure that Li Xiyi was in trouble.

"Qingyi, I beg you, don’t come over."

Li Xiyi shrunk further into herself, lightly shaking her head at Lu Qingyi.

"Li Xiyi, what are you afraid of? You’ve never been afraid before."

Lu Qingyi moved in front of Li Xiyi, squatting down slowly to meet her eyes.

Li Xiyi slowly shook her head.

Lu Qingyi reached out to brush the hair off Li Xiyi’s face.

"Ah, don’t, don’t..."

Li Xiyi suddenly started screaming like a madwoman.

Lu Qingyi realized that there was a deep knife wound on her face. Being a doctor, she could tell the depth of the cut.

Li Xiyi was thin, with hardly any flesh on her face. If the cut had been a fraction deeper, it would have hit the bone.

Li Xiyi wasn’t afraid of anything, not even death. The only thing she was concerned about was her looks.

She would always say, "I can die, but I want to look good doing it. I can’t have a blemish on my face."

For a young woman who was so preoccupied with her appearance, a facial disfigurement would be overwhelmingly devastating.

Li Xiyi was quite skilled, not exceptional, but definitely not useless. She was especially competent at escaping.

She was probably caught because her face was injured.

"Don’t worry, you’ll be fine."

Lu Qingyi pulled a tissue from her pocket and gently began wiping the dried blood from Li Xiyi’s face, treating her with extraordinary care.

Li Xiyi calmed down. She sat there blankly, motionless, like a puppet laid bare for slaughter.

Xu Boyan watched Lu Qingyi and Li Xiyi, his eyebrows still furrowed tightly.

"Boss...."

The scarred man felt a chill running down his spine, certain that his doom was impending.

"I won’t protect you."

Xu Boyan shifted his gaze to the scarred man, uttering a single chilly sentence.

He wouldn’t protect the scarred man. Lu Qingyi could handle him however she wanted.

The scarred man felt a wave of fear crash over him. He took several steps back, wanting to turn around and leave but lacking the courage to do so.

Lu Qingyi tenderly brushed Li Xiyi’s hair and gave a comforting smile, "Sweetheart, it’ll get better."

"No it won’t, Qingyi. Now that I’m disfigured, he will never look at me again..."

Li Xiyi shook her head, murmuring to herself.

Lu Qingyi didn’t know who Li Xiyi referred to as "he," but she knew that this person held a significant place in Li Xiyi’s heart. It was just like the place Xu Boyan held in Lu Qingyi’s heart.

"You must trust me, I can make you well again."

Lu Qingyi spoke gently.

She was certain that she could restore Li Xiyi’s face to its original state. She believed in her ability to do so.

Li Xiyi was shaking her head, her expression very dull.

"Xu Boyan, if these weren’t your men and this wasn’t your territory, I would have blown this place up by now."

Lu Qingyi stood up. She moved over to Xu Boyan, her expression stern and her gaze cold.

She was fiercely loyal. Li Xiyi was her friend. They had known each other for many years, braving various storms together.

Li Xiyi held a significant place in her heart. Given her strategies, if these incidents were unrelated to Xu Boyan or if she didn’t know him, she would have razed this place to the ground and not let anyone escape.

Xu Boyan didn’t cause this incident, but his people did.

"You are welcome to vent your anger. If you want to blow up this place, don’t consider me."

Xu Boyan took a step forward. He gently tousled Lu Qingyi’s hair, his voice surprisingly tender.

His principle was to spoil Lu Qingyi. She could do whatever she wanted, even if she wanted his life, he would give it to her.

Lu Qingyi’s antagonistic aura lessened as Xu Boyan comforted her, quickly calming down.

She hadn’t expected Xu Boyan to say something like that. He never failed to touch her heartstrings.

Lu Qingyi didn’t look at Xu Boyan. She drew a gun from her waist and pointed it at the scarred man’s forehead.

"Xiyi, was it him?"

Lu Qingyi turned to look at Li Xiyi, asking gently.

Li Xiyi looked at the scarred man, her expression blank. Then she nodded slowly.

It was him.

He was the one who slashed her with the knife. It was him.

Li Xiyi still couldn’t forget the sight of the large knife swinging towards her. The burning pain on her face. The blood continuously dripping.

When she touched the sticky wet blood, she almost fainted.

Her face...

That was Li Xiyi’s first thought at the time.

"Do unto him as he has done unto you."

Lu Qingyi slightly curled her lips. Just like how the scarred man had pointed a knife at her, she was now doing the same to him.

Initially, she didn’t want to go into details because the man was Xu Boyan’s man. But now it was different; the scarred man had hurt Li Xiyi.

"It wasn’t on purpose..."

Meeting Lu Qingyi’s cold eyes, the scarred guy became even more scared.

Lu Qingyi’s gun was real. It was astonishing that such a young girl could handle a gun with such composure.

"If I killed you and then apologized, would you forgive me?"

Lu Qingyi sneered.

The logic was the same, unforgivable.

"Little one, give me the gun. You’ll dirty your hands."

Just as Lu Qingyi was about to pull the trigger, Xu Boyan enveloped her hand with his larger one, gently shaking his head.

Killing should be his job. Lu Qingyi should only be responsible for watching.
