After Xia Zhi helped her wipe off the rain, he quietly stood at the side, but she was unable to calm down.

The affection Old Lady Chen had for her son shocked her to the core. She couldn't help but remember that her mother, Zheng Shujuan, was willing to give up anything for her brother.

First abandoned by his parents, betrayed by his childhood sweetheart, ignored by his mother, then plotted against by his lover …

At this moment, she was willing to do whatever she could for the old man without any conditions.

Old Lady Chen looked at her coldly, "I have a driver."

Xia Zhi was startled, "You have a driver? Then why did he … "

"You ask him why it's raining and why it's raining and why it doesn't matter to me? I let him! If he wants to interfere, I will definitely fire him! " Old Lady Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light. "On this day, everyone knows that I like to be alone! You've disturbed me today! I am very unhappy! "

She took a step away.

Xia Zhi hastily held up her umbrella and stumbled as she followed behind her.

Old Lady Chen looked at her coldly, "Why are you still following me? I said I hate you! Don't think that you can deceive my feelings and sympathy by making such a pitiful appearance! Your goal will never be achieved by me! "

Xia Zhi nodded, "I know. But it doesn't matter. This will not affect my desire to protect you from the graveyard. "In short, you don't have to worry about me. Just pretend that I don't exist."

Old Lady Chen snorted, her lips pursed tight as she leaned on her walking stick, walking forward proudly and step by step.

Watching Old Lady Chen get on the carriage, Xia Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. With great difficulty, she continued to drive forward through the storm with her umbrella.

After only a few steps, his hands finally lost their strength. He accidentally dropped the umbrella on the ground, and then the wind blew it far away.

Xia Zhi looked at the blisters on her hands and rubbed his stomach, which she had starved for an entire day. She really didn't have the strength to chase after it.

Even if she ran over to get it, she wouldn't have the strength to hold on.

Furthermore, wasn't what she wanted now miserable?

Xia Zhi sighed, and continued walking in the rain.

The bean-sized rain blurred her vision. Lightning and thunder continued to crackle above her head, and she was completely drenched. She knew that she was in a sorry state, but she didn't mind.

He didn't see a single taxi along the way. The originally lively street was now deserted, causing people to feel desolate.

Xia Zhi sighed, she planned to walk for another few hundred meters, and if it was impossible, take her phone to call a taxi.

Just as he was thinking with mixed feelings, he suddenly heard the whizzing sound of wheels. He raised his head and saw a white Audi driving towards him.

The car stopped by her side, the window rolled down, and Old Lady Chen's solemn face appeared in front of her. Her eyes were filled with displeasure and regret, "You didn't drive here yourself?"

"Yes." I'm from L, and I'm not familiar with this place, so I took a taxi. " Xia Zhi nodded.

"Then why didn't you take a taxi back?"

"I want to as well! Isn't there no car along the way? "

"He can't get a taxi online?" Even an old lady like me would scream, don't tell me you don't know how! " Old Lady Chen openly mocked.

"Ah?" Why is China able to call a taxi online now? So advanced? Oh my god! I didn't know. I've only been back from abroad a few days. I'll call it that. Don't bother with me, hurry home! I'll hide in that bus stop first. " Xia Zhi smiled and waved to her, then turned and ran towards the bus stop on the right side.

"Don't bother! Get in the car! " Old Lady Chen's eyes flashed, she reached out to push open the door, and shifted to the side.

"This is not good. I'm soaked, don't get your car wet. " Xia Zhi hesitated.

"Get in the car quickly!" Old Lady Chen said with an unquestionable tone.

"Uh. "Alright then!" Xia Zhi obediently got on the carriage.

Old Lady Chen shook a towel and a paper bag, "Wipe well! Then take off your clothes and change into clean clothes. "

Before she could say anything, the driver had already raised the partition and cut the car in half.

"Thank you very much." Xia Zhi did not stand on ceremony and quickly took off his wet clothes and changed into a set of silk Tang clothing.

She turned her head to thank Old Lady Chen, but saw that she had already closed her eyes, and looked at her as if she was a stranger that was not allowed to get any closer.

Xia Zhi tactfully kept quiet, she casually grabbed a towel from the side and lightly covered the old man's body.

The old man's eyelashes trembled, but in the end, he did not open his eyes.

An hour later, Xia Zhi was sent to the inn. After watching the carriage leave, he slowly walked into the hotel with her exhausted body.

After opening the door and entering the room, she let out a long breath, casually threw the wet bag on the sofa, took off her shoes and quickly walked towards the bathroom.

She had to soak in a bath to recover. Today, she was really going to be exhausted.

He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly felt a strange sound behind him. He turned around and saw a fist flying towards him.

She had no time to dodge and was struck squarely in the face.

Blood dripped out of his mouth and eyes as he retreated a few steps back. Finally, he fell heavily onto the ground.

She struggled to get up, but was straddled.

The pain in her waist was so intense that it seemed as if it would break at any moment, causing her forehead to be drenched in cold sweat.

Then, a storm of fists followed.

Under this violent and crazy attack, she couldn't even open her eyes, let alone see the assailant clearly.

But in the next moment, she clearly knew who it was.

He growled angrily as he punched her, "You bitch! Bitch! What grudge do I have with you? You're actually thinking of a way to plot against me! Not only did it destroy my road to wealth, but it also ruined my long and meticulously planned plan! What's more, I can't even stay in L City anymore! Do you know that my aunt is looking for people in the underworld to stop me and make me run around like a mouse all day long?! You've made me miserable! I will definitely beat you to death today! "

Only now did Xia Zhi understand that she was actually the one who held a grudge against her.

She was too careless.

She actually didn't think about being on guard against him.

Xia Zhi's heart was in pain, just when she thought that she would mysteriously lose her life here, she suddenly heard a loud sound. The door was kicked open with brute force, and a stern voice sounded, "Stop!"

As the boxing stopped, a cold chill came from her neck.

Deng Yuqi held a sharp dagger and placed it on her neck, then pulled her up to the window.

However, Xia Zhi's eyes that were swollen to the point that there was only a slit left on them, were filled with surprise and joy as she watched the man slowly approaching with the gun in hand. She shouted with a trembling voice, "Zi Han, why is it you?"

When he said this, Deng Yuqi became even more furious and shouted angrily, "Xia Zhi, so it turns out that you had planned this beforehand! You've already called the police, are you waiting for me here? Do you want to kill me? Very good! I'm going to throw caution to the wind today! Let's see who will die first today! "

He drew hard.

Xia Zhi seemed to be able to hear the sound of the dagger tearing at her muscles, but just at this time, a gunshot sounded out, and a warm current sprayed onto her face.

The man powerlessly fell to the ground. Blood surged out, instantly dyeing the spotlessly white carpet beneath him red and wet

Xia Zhi watched in a daze, not moving at all.

Yi Zihan kept his spear and quickly walked forward. He reached out and pulled her into his embrace and gently whispered, "It's alright. Xia Zhi. It's all right. He'll never hurt you again. You are safe. "

His gentle voice, warm embrace, and gentle caress warmed her cold and numb heart bit by bit, but her body was still trembling.

In these past few years, she had experienced so many setbacks. She thought that she had long since mastered the Unbreakable Body and viewed life and death as child's play. However, she didn't expect that after witnessing a living being die in front of her eyes today, she couldn't help but be afraid …

If Yi Zihan was not in time, she would have died. He would have lost his child!

"Come! Let's go to the bathroom first. You need to wash yourself properly! " Yi Zihan carried her quickly into the bathroom without explaining further.

Putting her on the counter, he turned on the water and used a warm towel to gently wipe her face.

After wiping his hands for a few times, Xia Zhi caught hold of his hand and said hoarsely: "Why did you come here?"

"Everything is a coincidence. I can only say that the two of us were fated to meet. " Yi Zihan said lightly.

Xia Zhi gently pushed him away and looked at him in disbelief, "Is it really just fate? Or have you been hiding in the shadows and protecting me all these years? "

Yi Zihan lowered his eyes and said indifferently, "Xia Zhi, you women have too many connections with each other. You really think too much. I'd like to stay by your side every day to protect you, but my job won't allow it. "

"But why do you always appear when I'm in danger?" Xia Zhi was inexplicably excited to the point that her heart ached.
