Chapter 52: My Leg
Irritated by Shiyao’s resistance, Ji Manqing raised her hand and slapped Shiyao hard in the face.
“Shut your moth up now, or I’ll cut your throat.”
“Ok, I promise you. You take the rag out of my mouth.”
With buzzing in her head, Shiyao still listened to Ji Manqing.
You Ze trotted down the narrow passage between the buildings. His gut feeling told him that it was Shiyao that cried for help!
‘What happened to her? Shiyao is strong and tenacious, how come she screams for help?’
You Ze was extremely nervously searching from door to door.
“Shiyao, where are you?”
It was indeed Shiyao’s voice, but he couldn’t find her. Zhong Yi, who usually cared for nothing, now also got nervous at her scream and hollered for Shiyao into the night sky.
The voice made her blood boil.
‘It’s You Ze! He’s coming!’
“You Ze, I’m here, come on!”
Realizing that You Ze was outside, Shiyao, who had been calm, lost her mind and screamed with tears.
Ji Manqing instantly came to herself, ‘It’s Shiyao that brought these men over!’
“You bitch!”
Ji Manqing scolded, grabbing a broom at the door to whip Shiyao hard.
She completely lost her senses and was no longer the girl she used to be. She became a soulless puppet manipulated by darkness in heart, leaving Shiyao’s offer behind.
With the fall of the broom, terrible pain stimulated Shiyao’s nerves. Unable to move her arms, Shiyao had to lean her head back as much as possible and kept kicking her legs against Ji Manqing’s beating.
Ji Manqing accidentally got a kick and dropped the broom on the floor. She covered her reddened thigh, rage filling her eyes.
“Ah!”
“How dare you? That’s great!”
Shiyao continued kicking and didn’t hear Ji Manqing. She had a feeling that You Ze was coming, soon…
Ji Manqing picked up the fruit knife on the ground, held Shiyao’s right leg and stabbed deep into it.
Shiyao was strong and tried hard to slip out of Ji Manqing’s grasp, but failed.
The knife didn’t hit home but cut Shiyao’s thigh. Blood stained her pure white dress; her resistance brought deep pain in her bone.
“Ji Manqing, I’m gonna kill you!”
Although Shiyao had been growing up aggressive and always had fights with others, she knew how important the body was to an excellent flight attendant.
That was her dream since childhood, so she had protected skin well to avoid the slightest scar.
Though not a bad injury, a scar would end Shiyao’s dream.
“Humph, draw your last arrogant breath. Shiyao, you’re gonna beg me!”
Ji Manqing raised the knife and decided to completely ruin Shiyao’s right leg.
Bang! The door was smashed open and broken into halves.
Ji Manqing looked back in shock, and before she could react, she was kicked in the wall by You Ze.
“I’m gonna kill you, Ji Manqing! Get away from me! Don’t touch my leg!”
Shiyao was screaming and struggling. You Ze kicked Ji Manqing off, held Shiyao in his arms and freed her.
“It’s me, You Ze. That’s okay,”
You Ze took off the blindfold over her eyes. Hearing You Ze’s voice, Shiyao couldn’t help crying before figuring out who was in front of her.
“My leg, You Ze, it hurts!”
When he looked down at her white skirt reddened by the blood, You Ze’s gloomy eyes showed bone-chilling coldness. He carried Shiyao in his arms.
“You deal with the rest.”
You Ze said to Zhong Yi, and then quickly left.
Zhong Yi nodded and sighed at Ji Manqing who was in a daze by the wall.
He knew Ji Manqing who had been a popular beauty in the office; nevertheless, she was such a fool.
“Break her legs and take her away.”
Zhong Yi uttered the words, and the men around him immediately came up.
“No, please let me go!”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Ji Manqing was too scared to resist and just kept begging Zhong Yi.
“Is it possible, huh?”
Zhong Yi glanced at Ji Manqing. She should thank him. If You Ze were here, he would have killed her on the spot.
“Let me go, please, please. I’ll promise you anything if you do!”
Ji Manqing knew Zhong Yi was a real womanizer who liked beautiful women, especially female flight attendants.
With a frightened expression, Zhong Yi quickly took two steps back.
“No, thank you. I am truly a playboy, but I only like beautiful women. As for you, aunt, I have no interest at all.”
Zhong Yi stopped smiling and motioned with his cold eyes. The two men instantly broke Ji Manqing’s legs.
A shriek added to the fear of the deep night. You Ze carried Shiyao back to the car at full speed.
“My leg… My leg…”
The cut did not hurt the bone but was really deep. Shiyao was exhausted by the pain, just drowsily muttering about her leg all the time.
“Don’t worry, Yaoyao, your leg will be fine…”
Knowing how bad the injury was for Shiyao, You Ze stepped on the gas pedal with full force to take her to hospital as fast as he could. Fortunately, it was three o’clock in the morning when there were no cars on the road and it was not dangerous to run the light.
After watching her enter the emergency room, You Ze sat frustrated on a bench in the hallway, sweat dripping from his hair down on the floor.
Tortured by the tension inside and the piercing pains in his heart, he was breathing harder.
You Ze hadn’t been so sad for a long time, or he rarely broke down. Shiyao’s cry for help drove him out of his mind; the sight of Ji Manqing’s knife targeting Shiyao made him want to break Ji Manqing’s head. If You Ze was angry when Zhao Xuehan left, he was heartbroken now.
After staying a long time in the Special Forces, You Ze had been trained to be as cold as steel. He had never cared about anyone except his grandmother and family, nor did he have the feeling of a knife piercing his heart.
Distress and endless regret filled his heart. If he hadn’t taken Shiyao to that place, it wouldn’t have happened, not to say she got kidnapped and injured…
“Damn it!”
Nowhere could he vent his pain and You Ze had to hit himself on the head with his fists.
