Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After An Qi finished speaking, she no longer bothered to waste her breath on Xie Yuqing. She turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, a loud shriek erupted from the side, “An Qi, behind you!”
An Qi was stunned. She reflexively turned around, only to see Xie Yuqing approaching her with a dagger, which without her realizing she had picked it up, was rushing over to her with her face contorted into a savage expression.
An Qi had covered An Yue behind her and argued with Xie Yuqing subconsciously. As a result, she was in such close proximity to Xie Yuqing that it had come around to bite her.
An Qi’s eyes flew open wide and failed to react in time upon facing Xie Yuqing’s sudden attack.
An Yue’s piercing shriek could still be heard in An Qi’s ears. Just as An Qi thought that she could not escape from her tragic fate this time, a figure appeared from the side all of a sudden and drew her into his arms with all his might.
At the same time, he stretched out another hand and unmistakably clutched Xie Yuqing’s highly raised, slim wrist with a dagger.
“You…” An Qi had the sensation that the sky was spinning. When she regained her focus, she was greeted by the sight of Nie Yunfan’s familiar side profile.
Nie Yunfan creased his eyebrows. He looked down and sized An Qi up. There was a faint hint of anxiety in his eyes which he was not aware of, and he asked in a low voice, “Are you okay?”
An Qi looked stunned. Upon hearing Nie Yunfan’s question, she snapped out of her trance and said embarrassedly, “N-N-Nothing… I am fine.”
Only then did Nie Yunfan breathe a sigh of relief and turn his attention away from An Qi. He narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at the struggling Xie Yuqing.
“Darn you! Let go of me! Let me go!’ Xie Yuqing used her other free hand and struck Nie Yunfan’s clutching hand as an attempt to set herself free from his grasp by all means.
Whatever she struck him with, it became apparent there was a difference in strength between a woman and a man. Xie Yuqing was not able to break free from Nie Yunfan’s grasp even after it took her some time. She glared fiercely at the two people in front of her.
Before she cussed, a group of people rushed over to them from not far away. There were a few… policemen among them!
“Over there! They are right there! I saw the woman with a dagger lunging at that lady over there. She was struck and wounded.”
This was said by a resident who lived in the same neighbourhood as An Qi and An Yue. He had happened to witness the scene when Xie Yuqing attempted murder with a dagger and was so shocked that he dialed the police number right away.
Coincidentally, there was a police station nearby their neighborhood. The police officers rushed over as soon as they received the report. In just a moment, they arrived at the scene.
As a result, be it fortunate or unfortunate, the moment they entered through the main entrance of the neighborhood, they saw the scene where Xie Yuqing stabbed An Qi.
Now that Xie Yuqing was apprehended on the spot with solid evidence, it would be very difficult for her to escape from her own crime.
Originally, the police officers had thought that the person lodging the police report had made a big deal out of it. Little did they know that the moment they arrived at the scene, they would be greeted by such a spectacular sight. From a distance, they noticed Xie Yuqing’s dagger was already stained with blood. It was obvious that someone had already been injured.
As such, they wasted no more time and quickly helped Nie Yunfan to restrain Xie Yuqing nimbly.
“All of you… darn you! Arsehole, how dare you file a police report?! How dare…” Xie Yuqing’s dagger had been taken away by the police officer. One of her hands was twisted behind her back.
It took Xie Yuqing some time before she recovered her senses. An Yue had actually called police officers. She instantly burst in anger.
Xie Yuqing struggled even harder, to the point where one person could no longer hold her. The police officers furrowed their eyebrows as they reminded her, “Miss, it’s best that you stop moving. Otherwise, don’t blame us for laying a hand on account of you purposefully harming others.”
Xie Yuqing was agitated upon hearing the police officers’ words. “Lay a hand on me, huh?! Do you know who I am?! I am…” She struggled while screaming at them before she abruptly stopped.
She realized that she was no longer the pampered lady who could do whatever she wanted nor the ability to threaten others.
Upon hearing Xie Yuqing’s smug tone, the police officers had really thought that they had arrested a VIP. Only to find out later that Xie Yuqing had gone silent. They locked gazes with one another and became ferocious.
“Miss, are you threatening us? Here’s a reminder, threatening a police officer is the same as attacking one. We can strike you at any time, and it will count as an act of self-defense.”
Xie Yuqing’s entire body turned stiff. She dared not simply move even though this was against her own will. She was afraid that she might agitate them and ended up getting beaten up.
She was already struggling to manage An Yue and the rest of her group. She knew she had no chance against the big guys with so many of them around.
Even though she did not dare to touch the people suppressing her, it did not mean she dared not lay hands on An Yue and the rest of her group. Xie Yuqing bit her lips and glared at them angrily.
An Qi was still in Nie Yunfan’s arms. She was still shaken by the terror of the narrow escape. When she looked up and saw that Xie Yuqing could not move because she was being restrained by the others, she snickered, “Ms. Xie, instead of questioning us, you might as well think about how to explain to the police how a rich lady ends up being a murderer.”
“You!” Xie Yuqing looked angry. She glared at An Qi as if she could not wait to rip her apart.
Unfortunately, before she could stare any further, the police officers had already dragged her away from An Qi.
“Mister, miss, we received a police report about someone wounding others with a dagger at Belford district,” the remaining officer said. “Please come to the police station with us as one of the victims to make a statement.”
An Yue heaved a sigh of relief when Xie Yuqing was taken away. Just when she was about to handle the rest, she abruptly noticed something. Her expression changed and screamed, “An Qi!”
Just like An Yue, An Qi exhaled a sigh of relief when Xie Yuqing was taken away. Her tense nerves were relieved. The pain in her wound, on the other hand, became more intense as it passed through her nervous system.
She was in pain and tired as a result of the blood loss. Finally, An Qi felt her vision going dark before collapsing in Nie Yunfan’s arms.
Nie Yunfan was stunned when he heard An Yue’s scream. The next thing he knew, he was carrying a heavy weight in his arms. He quickly looked down, only to see An Qi’s pale face, devoid of blood.. An Yue’s words echoed in his ears, “Ahh! Blood… Her wound had reopened! Wake up, An Qi! Don’t frighten me!”
