“Ms. Ye, I suddenly had this feeling.” Xiao Ruilang chuckled. “Perhaps, you are the person I’m looking for?”
Ye Shengge’s hair stood on end.
“Are you kidding me, Young Master Xiao? How is that possible?” She retorted. “If I were Summer Wood, I would’ve revealed my identity a long time ago. Why would I let Mu Xiaoya pretend to be me?”
She then handed him the hard drive and said, “But I’ll have to give you face if you want to protect Mu Xiaoya, Young Master Xiao.”
Xiao Ruilang kept staring at her face, his light brown eyes were filled with interest.
He chuckled and grabbed Ye Shengge’s hand.
Ye Shengge immediately pulled her hand back and left the hard drive in Xiao Ruilang’s grasp.
“Can we go now?” She forced a smile.
The man threw the hard drive to the bodyguard beside him, surveyed her for a bit and shook his head. “I think you’re lying to me.”
“Young Master Xiao, you are mistaken.”
“No, I’m not mistaken.” He tapped on the window and said firmly. “You were afraid when you saw me because you were afraid that I would know that you are Summer Wood.”
“Heh heh, you must be kidding,” Ye Shengge retorted. “Everyone is jealous of how much you love Mu Xiaoya. If I were Summer Wood, I would’ve let you know.”
“Everyone’s jealous, but not you.” He smiled. “I’ll say the same thing. It’s because you’re afraid of me.”
Ye Shengge’s felt her heart in her mouth once more.
“Young Master Xiao, you’ve already confirmed that this is the truth. There’s nothing more I can do.” Ye Shengge clenched her fists. “Regardless whether you believe it or not, I’ve already answered you. Can you ask your subordinates to move aside?”
Xiao Ruilang looked at her and shook his head, “No.”
Ye Shengge’s 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.
“Xiao Qiu!” Ye Shengge was shocked.
Xiao Qiu’s mouth was gagged and he couldn’t speak. He stared at her, but didn’t 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, “Young Master Xiao! What are you trying to do?”
“He seemed like he was about to draw his gun. I didn’t want that to happen either.” He still sounded gentle as if he was the victim. “Ms. Ye, I want to invite you home as a guest. I wonder if you’d be willing to do so.”
“And if I say no?” Ye Shengge’s face paled.
Xiao Ruilang smiled but didn’t say anything.
Then, Ye Shengge heard the sound of a bullet being loaded.
She turned around and saw a gun on Xiao Qiu’s temple. He struggled and shook his head towards her.
Ye Shengge understood what he meant.
However, if she didn’t 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, “Young Master Xiao, you’re really mistaken.”
Xiao Ruilang curled his lips and pulled her into his embrace.
