Zhao Ying said embarrassedly, because she had not yet paid off the money she owed Fleeting Time. But she had no money, no job, no home.

"No problem, as long as you don't mind, you can stay for as long as you want." Xu Liunian immediately agreed. "How about this, you come find me at Muse and bring you back after I finish my work."

"Alright, I'll go and give it to you now."

Roughly half an hour later, Xu Liunian received a message from his little sister that someone was looking for her.

It should be Zhao Ying.

She immediately headed towards the private box that Zhao Ying was in. "Zhao Ying, I …"

Her voice was suddenly hoarse, as if she had been strangled.

Xu Liunian looked at the tall figure with her back facing her in shock, fear filling her heart in an instant.

The person who called her over wasn't Zhao Ying, it was actually...

Liu Guangqing!

He turned around and revealed a simple and honest face as he smiled. "I've said it before, I won't let you off."

Xu Liunian subconsciously wanted to run, but Liu Guangqing was the first to press down on the door, his voice cold: "Stinky girl, you still want to run?"

In the next moment, he grabbed Xu Liunian's collar and impatiently pushed her onto the sofa.

Upon touching the sofa, Xu Liunian jumped up abruptly like a frightened rabbit, "You, what are you trying to do?"

"What for?" Liu Guangqing laughed sinisterly, and slowly closed in on Xu Liunian, "If it wasn't for you, the bastard of the Xu Family, how could I have fallen to such a stage! I don't have any money after I come out, so who else can I ask for it if not you? "

Saying that, he took out a silver dagger from his pockets, patting Xu Liunian on the face, "You better take out the money now, otherwise, I'll kill you now!"

Facing Liu Guangqing's threat, his heart was filled with fear and bitterness. After returning to the Muse, her income could only support her daily expenses, and he could be said to not have a single cent on her.

However, the viciousness in Liu Guangqing's eyes made her understand that she could not sit still and wait for death.

"I don't have any money on me right now, so I just need to go out and get it for you."

Liu Guangqing's face became even more sinister, "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. Didn't you want to go out and ask for help? Dream on! "Since you won't pay, I'll just kill you and go to jail. There's still food and drinks!"

With that, he raised his dagger and stabbed it towards Xu Liunian.

The cold dagger made Xu Liunian's entire body tremble, she subconsciously opened up more, quickly picked up the bottle of wine on the table and smashed towards Liu Guangqing's head. In her panic, the dagger cut into her arm.

A sharp pain came as Xu Liunian frowned in pain.

She looked at Liu Guangqing who was unconscious on the ground. Ignoring the pain in his arm, she quickly opened the private room's door and left the Muse in a fluster.

She wandered like a ghost along the road. The world was vast, but there was no place for her to hide.

Liu Guangqing knew the location of her rented apartment. She could not go back, and he could not go back to Muse either!

Xu Liunian's heart was filled with despair. She did not dare to walk around recklessly, and in the end, could only hide in a dirty alley beside the Muse.

It was unknown when, but the sky had suddenly darkened, just like Xu Liunian's current mood.

Soon after, the torrential downpour came crashing down.

Xu Liunian hurriedly hid under a low roof, her small body curled into a ball.

The wound on her arm was dripping with blood, and the pain made her dizzy.

Unknowingly, she fell into a deep slumber until the cold wind woke her up. Looking at the dusky weather, she realized that it was already evening of the second day.

Xu Liunian frowned in grief. She had actually been in the alley for a whole day and night. Just to get away from that man with the bad debts.

Suddenly, "Da Da..." A burst of light and hurried footsteps appeared at the mouth of the alley. Xu Liunian's mind immediately tensed up.

Did Liu Guangqing find them?

She subconsciously wanted to jump over the wall to escape, but she hadn't eaten for a day and a night. She was already extremely weak, and the moment she stood up, she felt as if the sky was spinning and the earth was spinning.

"Fleeting Time …"

In the next second, Xu Liunian fell into a familiar embrace, following that, she sank into darkness.

Lu Jianqing looked at the miserable Xu Liunian in his arms, her expression unfathomable.

The snow-white ceiling, the beeping sound of medical equipment, and the pungent smell of disinfectant at the tip of her nose all showed that she was now in the hospital.

Was she saved?!

Xu Liunian opened her somewhat heavy eyelids. In a daze, a familiar and anxious face appeared in her field of vision. It was her best friend, Zhao Ying.

"You're finally awake!" Zhao Ying called out in surprise.

Under Zhao Ying's support, Xu Liunian slowly sat up, her head was still dizzy and she spoke with a nasal voice, "Zhao Ying, why are you here?"

"Didn't you send a message for me to come over?" Zhao Ying asked, a little puzzled. She took out her phone, opened the text message interface and handed it over to Xu Liunian.

Surprisingly, there was the name of the hospital Xu Liunian was currently in, as well as her ward.

However —

She thought of the familiar smell she had smelled before she fainted, and the faint hint of a familiar coldness from the text message.

Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be him?

She anxiously asked, "Zhao Ying, did you see anyone else when you came over?"

"This... "Nope." Zhao Ying shook her head, trying hard to remember, "Oh, but according to the nurse, a very handsome man helped you pay the medical fees. Fleeting Time, do you know who he is?"

Xu Liunian could not help but feel melancholy in her heart, it seemed that the person who had saved her was Lu Jianqing.

She tightly clenched her hands, suppressing all the emotions in her heart.

Lu Jianqing was not someone she could love, she definitely could not do anything that would let his sister down.

The injuries on Xu Liunian's body were not serious and she was only unconscious because her body was weak. After hanging up an entire bottle of glucose and saline, the doctor announced that she could finally leave the hospital.

Thus, under Zhao Ying's accompanying, Xu Liunian returned to the Muse.

Muse was still in a drunken state, Liu Guangqing's arrival did not seem to have much of an impact.

But Xu Liunian did not plan to let it go at that. No matter what, she would not let Liu Guangqing go, otherwise, she would only live an even more terrifying life.

When Xu Liunian found the Sister Hong, he called out that night at 452. It was the room number Liu Guangqing had reserved when he went to look for her.

She quickly copied down the video of Liu Guangqing threatening her with a knife. She decided to hand this video to the police and inform them about Liu Guangqing's murder attempt. This was the only way for her to live a peaceful life.
