“You... Can you please listen to my explanation?”
Gu Zhengrong’s voice became hoarse when he heard the accusation in her words and he gripped the phone tightly. His eyes then wavered. “Can we meet?”
“What’s there for us to talk about? Ask yourself; don’t you have any bit of feeling for my best friend? She’s missing yet you don’t even bother to look for her.”
Pei Ge was aloof. Meanwhile, the man beside her was looking like the devil.
“I just want to see you.”
He was caught in a fix. He wanted to find Tang Xiaoyu, too, but he was unable to connect to her phone at all, so he could not promise the woman he loved anything.
“I don’t want to see you, though!”
She shouted before hanging up. Ji Ziming looked at her and said, “Aren’t you afraid that he’ll keep pestering you for doing this to him?”
“He won’t. If he does that, my years of friendship with him will end here.”
Her eyes were cold as the corners of her lips curled slightly. If that guy did not care for her best friend and only kept pining for her, she would not let him live a comfortable life whenever she went to America.
She would make him lose everything he got.
“Not bad. You’re just like me.”
The man praised her, unaware of the raging storm inside her. If even Gu Zhengrong could not find her best friend, what more of her?
“Let’s head back; I’m feeling tired today.”
She leaned in her seat, her eyes looking outside. Numerous cars drove on the asphalt road, but none of them had what she was looking forward to. Pei Ge used to think that she and her best friend had different looks and personality, but only now did she realize that their difference was more than that.
“I’ve mobilized my men over here to help you find your best friend, so don’t worry too much.”
Ji Ziming started the car and looked at the woman, who had become drained after that phone call. He frowned, worried that she would be unable to bear Tang Xiaoyu’s situation once they found her. Unless those rumors were confirmed, he would certainly not let her know.
“Sure. Let’s go home now.”
Pei Ge felt drained, for her heart had been shattered twice today. On top of Joe seemingly hiding something about her son’s condition, the one behind their stalker at the hospital was still unknown.
There were too many questions boggling her, but she was too drained to think any of them. All she wanted was to go home and look at her children.
Suddenly, the man floored the gas, and she was jolted out of her dazedness by this. She asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you driving so fast?”
“There’s someone following us.”
The man’s eyes grew darker as his voice became akin to a poisonous dagger, which was piercing through space. If she were not seeing it now, she would never know that his driving skills were so sleek.
Turned left, dashed right, went up a hill and down, and finally slowed down just as the sky got dark.
“We’ve finally gotten rid of them.”
His facial features, which were frosty, seemed dashing under a lamppost’s glow. Seeing how dangerous he looked, she gulped. If she had returned to reality any later then, she would have slammed, head-first, on the windshield due to his sudden acceleration. Who knew? Her head might even split open.
“What’s wrong?”
He looked at her with dangerous eyes.
“I merely felt that, today, you’re more...”
She paused, then her brain scrambled for a word to describe the shock he had given her today.
The Ji Group’s CEO apparently had another identity in America. Putting aside all his identities, she realized that he was someone very worthy of her trust.
When Huang Zhian threatened her, she believed in this man; right now, she was thinking that she had truly saved Earth in her past life for having this man.
“If you keep looking intensely at me, I may be unable to control myself further.”
An evil smile split his face, which jolted her out of her stupor.
Mesmerized by his beauty just then, she had actually forgotten that he was a big gray wolf in human skin. A white bunny like her had better stay away from him.
“I wasn’t. Since you’ve gotten rid of them, let’s go home now. If we don’t, it’ll be dark when we reach the house.”
She hurriedly turned her head to the newly lit lamppost. Pei Ge settled for looking at his beautiful, chiseled face through his reflection on the window. The man, who had been caring for her since earlier, was right by her side.
All of her was attracted to this man.
“Turn around; I have something to tell you.”
It was rare for him to be so serious. Just as she turned around, he planted a kiss on her cold lips.
“Woman, it’s fine if you think that I’m good-looking, but if you find other men good-looking, too, I’ll turn him into the type that you detest the most.”
Ji Ziming grabbed her chin; the sensation brought by his hand made her struggle a bit. This was when her attention was drawn to a Porsche getting closer to them.
She exclaimed, “Ziming, look outside!”
He turned and saw the car he had just gotten rid of appear near them. He cursed, “Sh*t! Is he trying to die with me?”
“Wait a minute; let’s drive back to the hospital. I remember that hospital’s exterior. Those people are dead-set on following us, so they must be well-prepared.”
Pei Ge thought that, if they could find Dr. Joe at the hospital, they might be able to escape from their pursuers. As long as that guy was willing to help, it would be easy to arrest these people.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
The man revved the engine, and the Rolls Royce flew on the road like a black butterfly in the night. It helped them create a distance from the car behind them as it attracted the pedestrians’ attention.
Alas, the car following theirs was equally fast.
