The moment Tang Jinyao appeared, all the unstable elements miraculously disappeared.

Ji Xinqing felt a sense of relief that she had not felt in a long time.

The middle-aged man's vigilance was extremely heavy. He cast a worried glance at the surroundings, then shouted at Tang Yao, "Put the money down!" You can go now! "

Tang Jinyao frowned as he spoke. "Let them go. Take the money and leave."

The middle-aged man sneered, "Little Young Master, do you think I'm stupid?"

He placed the tip of the blade against Ji Xinqing's face, "This woman is my only amulet now. If I let her go, I won't be able to save myself! I won't say it a third time! "Quickly put down the money, you can leave now!"

Tang Jinyao glanced at Ji Xinqing. "Miss Ji."

Ji Xinqing raised her head. Her face was pale, and those handprints were especially eye-catching.

The pressure around Tang Jinyao instantly dropped as he took a step forward and sternly demanded, "What did you do to her?"

Even though Ji Xinqing was in his hands, the middle-aged man was forced to take a few steps back. He placed the blade against Ji Xinqing's neck and went in deeper, "Stop! If you dare to take another step forward, your woman will lose her life! "

A sharp pain came from her neck, but Ji Xinqing bit her lips and did not make a sound.

After seeing the middle-aged man's face turn red, Tang Jinyao stopped in his tracks. With a smile that wasn't a smile on his face, he glanced at the man and said, "Alright, I'll go."

Tang Jinyao turned around and said, "Wait for me."

He did not mention her name, but Ji Xinqing knew that he was saying it to her. She continued to lower her head in silence.

Tang Jinyao quickly disappeared into the distance.

The middle-aged man let go of Ji Xinqing and quickly picked up the box. He gave a greedy smile before dragging Ji Xinqing and running forward once again.

Ji Xinqing no longer had the strength to run, but the middle-aged man was dragging her with great force.

Ji Xinqing was sure that if she did not run, this man would drag her away!

However, not long after he ran, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the silent night.

"Bang!"

The surrounding woods were filled with the disorderly chirping of birds as they flew out of the woods.

Ah!

As her hand was released, Ji Xinqing heard the middle-aged man scream like a pig being butchered.

The box fell to the ground, the lid was opened, and the money scattered all over the floor.

However, the middle-aged man didn't care about the money anymore. He held his leg and painfully laid on the ground. From time to time, he would also let out a few painful wails.

Ji Xinqing was stunned as she looked at the middle-aged man's legs.

Blood continued to flow from the gaps between his fingers.

So, the gun just hit his leg?

As if she had suddenly realized something, Ji Xinqing abruptly turned around and saw Tang Jinyao, who was supposed to be leaving, walking over to her.

Tang Jinyao's eyes were very calm, but the depths of her eyes were as cold as frost.

He had a small pistol in his hand.

He looked at the middle-aged man who was curled up on the ground and smiled. However, a few seconds later, the smile on his face slowly froze, as if it was covered in a layer of ice.

He kept his gun and looked at the middle-aged man as he spoke, "I just gave you a chance, you were the one who didn't appreciate it."

The middle-aged man was already sweating profusely from the immense pain. However, he suddenly reached out his hand and tried to grab Ji Xinqing's ankle.

Ji Xinqing reacted and quickly took a few steps back. Her center of gravity wasn't stable and she actually sat down on the ground.

"Miss Ji." Tang Jinyao walked over and reached out a hand to help her up.

However, at this moment, Ji Xinqing was looking at him with a look of fear.

She was just a commoner. She had never thought that one day, she would actually see a gun.

However, Tang Jinyao had actually brought him along … Gun.

The electricity that was slowly growing in her heart a moment ago was suddenly gone. Ji Xinqing pressed her hand on the ground and slowly stood up.

In addition to gratitude, there was also gratitude. Ji Xinqing gave a distant smile, "Mr. Tang, thank you very much for tonight."

Tang Jinyao frowned. He didn't seem to understand why her attitude was so different from his, so he called out to her once more, "Miss Ji."

The smile on Ji Xinqing's face gradually turned from estranged to respectful, "Mr. Tang, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

She was no fool.

Tang Jinyao didn't care about his safety at all. Since he was willing to pay her back, his interest in her definitely wasn't as simple as being interested in her!

She could also feel that she wasn't against Tang Jinyao.

Otherwise, she would not have reacted with delight when she heard that he was willing to give her money to redeem her.

Yes, she was secretly happy in her heart, as well as feeling an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

However … Ji Xinqing suppressed her restless emotions.

Tang Jinyao was a noble young master. Not only was her world thousands of miles away from his, but … She was also a married woman. Ji Xinqing knew that the two of them would never be able to hold such a title!

Tang Jinyao stood in the same spot, maliciously staring at her.

Even at this stage, this woman was still so calm! Do we still need to maintain a safe distance from him!?

Ji Xinqing tried her best to remain calm. She smiled decently and did not speak.

The middle-aged man had already fainted.

The surrounding air was heavy and oppressive.

While they were in the car, Ji Xinqing was tortured by the middle-aged man.

There were several handprints on her face, and even her hair was hanging on her shoulders in a mess. Her clothes were extremely wrinkled, so it was not hard to guess what she had just experienced.

Tang Jinyao's expression darkened. With furrowed brows and a frosty look in his eyes, he approached Ji Xinqing once more. He wanted to check on the wounds on her face, but … Ji Xinqing suddenly took a big step back and dodged his touch.

Ji Xinqing smiled as she raised her head and said once again, "Mr. Tang, if there's nothing else, I'll return first —"

Before she could finish her sentence, Tang Jinyao suddenly approached her. Before Ji Xinqing could even react, she was suddenly picked up by Tang Jinyao.

His embrace was very warm. Ji Xinqing fell into a trance for a moment. His embrace gave Meng Qin Guan a peace of mind that he had never given her before.

However … Ji Xinqing still reached out her hand to push him, and said softly, "Mr. Tang, please let me down, I can walk by myself."

While holding her in his arms, the veins on Tang Jin's hands popped out, revealing her white bones.

This woman, she would always be calm and rational in front of him!

After a long while, his lips curled up into a faint smile.

"Don't worry, Miss Ji. Tang Han will come over later to take care of this man." "I'm sorry, it was my negligence that caused you to encounter such a situation tonight."

Ji Xinqing shook her head as she reached out her hand to push him, reminding him softly once again, "Mr. Tang, I'm fine. Please put me down first."

However, Tang Jinyao ignored her and carried her to the car.

Ji Xinqing's face darkened as she emphasized her tone, "Mr. Tang."

A sigh seemed to come from above her head. Before Ji Xinqing could react, her eyes were covered by a pair of hands. A deep and mellow voice sounded by her ear, "Close your eyes and rest. You can pretend to be weaker when I'm beside you."
