Li Beijueâs eyes had turned red with rage. Seeing her trying to intervene, his fury only intensified. Without a second thought, he yanked Chi Enen aside, âGet out of my way!â
Chi Enen, being a woman, couldnât withstand his shove and was sent tumbling onto the road.
The uneven surface of the asphalt road scraped her knees, and the pain was searing instantly.
Han Qifeng saw everything clearly and hurriedly got up, approaching Chi Enen with concern.
Shit! He dared to go over to her!
Enraged to the extreme, Li Beijue pulled him back and his fist came smashing down once again!
Chi Enen, fearing that he might really cause serious harm, ignored the pain in her knee and scrambled up. Pale-faced, she blocked them again.
âEnough, Li Beijue!â
Enough, truly enough!
Li Beijue was about to push her aside and continue his assault.
But the hostility in his eyes suddenly faded at the sight of blood trickling down her knee. His brow furrowed, he reached out to pull Chi Enen, âWhat happened to your leg?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, Chi Enen dodged his outstretched hand, stubbornly clenched her lower lip, and looked at him, âHave you had enough? If not, donât hit him again. If you keep going, you might kill someone. If you havenât vented enough, then come at me. My bones are cheap, and I can take a few punches from you.â
ââ¦â Her defiance and anger were clear for Li Beijue to see, and it hurt him deeply. He clenched his fists tightly and slowly retracted his hand.
Chi Enen was truly angry, more so than she had ever been before. Her eyes reddened with rage, she stared down the man who had lost his mind, and said word by word, âNot going to hit anyone? If youâre not, Iâm taking him to the hospital.â
Li Beijue didnât move.
Holding back her frustration, Chi Enen flagged down a taxi from the roadside. She bent down to help Han Qifeng into the car.
After pushing Han Qifeng into the car, Chi Enen was about to get in when someone held onto the car door.
The handsome, noble man looked like he was suppressing something, his thin lips quivered as he looked at her, âChi Enenâ¦â
Feeling both pained and furious, Chi Enen didnât even glance at him, forcibly shut the car door, and instructed the taxi driver, âMaster, to the City Hospital Emergency Department.â
The taxi drove off in a flash.
On the car.
Han Qifeng spat out a mouthful of blood, full of apology as he said to her, âEnen, Iâm sorry, I got you into a quarrel with Mr. Li.â
Chi Enen felt utterly drained, devoid of any strength. Her heart felt heavy, as if a hand were tearing at her chest. She leaned against the car door, managing an uglier smile than crying, and apologized to him, âIâm the one who should say sorry. Mr. Han, Iâm sorry for getting you hurt. I will cover all the medical expenses later, and I hope you wonât call the police.â
She knew that even if Han Qifeng called the police, Li Beijue had the connections to get the issue suppressed.
But it would still look bad.
Han Qifeng hadnât expected her to speak in Li Beijueâs defense even now. His expression darkened as he replied gently, âDonât worry, I wonât call the police.â
Chi Enen really didnât have the energy to talk, nor did she want to. She politely said, âThank you.â
After speaking, she leaned against the door and fell silent, lost in thought.
The car ascended the skybridge and then descended from it.
Suddenly, the taxi driver in front commented, âYoung girl, it seems like thereâs a car following us, see if itâs your boyfriendâs car.â
A car following them?
