âMs. Ye, I suddenly had this feeling.â Xiao Ruilang chuckled. âPerhaps, you are the person Iâm looking for?â
Ye Shenggeâs hair stood on end.
âAre you kidding me, Young Master Xiao? How is that possible?â She retorted. âIf I were Summer Wood, I wouldâve revealed my identity a long time ago. Why would I let Mu Xiaoya pretend to be me?â
She then handed him the hard drive and said, âBut Iâll have to give you face if you want to protect Mu Xiaoya, Young Master Xiao.â
Xiao Ruilang kept staring at her face, his light brown eyes were filled with interest.
He chuckled and grabbed Ye Shenggeâs hand.
Ye Shengge immediately pulled her hand back and left the hard drive in Xiao Ruilangâs grasp.
âCan we go now?â She forced a smile.
The man threw the hard drive to the bodyguard beside him, surveyed her for a bit and shook his head. âI think youâre lying to me.â
âYoung Master Xiao, you are mistaken.â
âNo, Iâm not mistaken.â He tapped on the window and said firmly. âYou were afraid when you saw me because you were afraid that I would know that you are Summer Wood.â
âHeh heh, you must be kidding,â Ye Shengge retorted. âEveryone is jealous of how much you love Mu Xiaoya. If I were Summer Wood, I wouldâve let you know.â
âEveryoneâs jealous, but not you.â He smiled. âIâll say the same thing. Itâs because youâre afraid of me.â
Ye Shenggeâs felt her heart in her mouth once more.
âYoung Master Xiao, youâve already confirmed that this is the truth. Thereâs nothing more I can do.â Ye Shengge clenched her fists. âRegardless whether you believe it or not, Iâve already answered you. Can you ask your subordinates to move aside?â
Xiao Ruilang looked at her and shook his head, âNo.â
Ye Shenggeâs body stiffened, and before she could say anything, Xiao Qiu shouted out in pain.
She turned around and realized that the door on the other side was open. Xiao Qiu was dragged out by the bodyguards. Although he tried to struggle, it was to no avail. The bodyguards took his phone away and threw it on the ground.
âXiao Qiu!â Ye Shengge was shocked.
Xiao Qiuâs mouth was gagged and he couldnât speak. He stared at her, but didnât seem to be panicking.
It seemed like he had managed to send out the distress signal.
Ye Shengge immediately turned to Xiao Ruilang and asked, âYoung Master Xiao! What are you trying to do?â
âHe seemed like he was about to draw his gun. I didnât want that to happen either.â He still sounded gentle as if he was the victim. âMs. Ye, I want to invite you home as a guest. I wonder if youâd be willing to do so.â
âAnd if I say no?â Ye Shenggeâs face paled.
Xiao Ruilang smiled but didnât say anything.
Then, Ye Shengge heard the sound of a bullet being loaded.
She turned around and saw a gun on Xiao Qiuâs temple. He struggled and shook his head towards her.
Ye Shengge understood what he meant.
However, if she didnât cooperate, Xiao Ruilang might really have Xiao Qiu die here.
Xiao Ruilang saw that she had made her decision and opened the car door for her.
Ye Shengge got out of the car and said, âYoung Master Xiao, youâre really mistaken.â
Xiao Ruilang curled his lips and pulled her into his embrace.
