Yang Xi was so terrified that her entire body began to tremble. Especially when the man returned her gaze.
The darkness that seeped out from the depths of his body made one's blood freeze.
Yang Xi's lips twitched a little, but no sound came out. She remained silent until half an hour later when the police came to release her, "Yang Xi, you have been bailed out. You may leave."
Leave...
Hearing this, Yang Xi froze in place, unable to take a single step.
"Officer, can I wait until Tangning arrives?" Yang Xi asked.
The young officer glanced at Yang Xi and laughed, "When you were locked up, you wanted to leave so badly. Now that we've decided to set you free, you don't want to leave anymore. What's wrong with you?"
"No...it's just..." Yang Xi couldn't get her words out properly.
"Are you going to leave or not?" the police officer asked impatiently.
Yang Xi looked at the officer, unsure whether to tell the truth. A few moments later, just as she was about to speak, Master Ni's assistant walked over to her, holding a briefcase and dressed in professional business attire, "It's time we leave. Master Ni is waiting for us."
Yang Xi was helpless as she tried to signal to the officer for help. But the young officer had absolutely no idea what Yang Xi was trying to gesture.
The cold assistant allowed Yang Xi to walk ahead. He knew how terrified she was of him, but, after being in the underworld for so many years, apart from completing his mission, he didn't care about anything else.
Yang Xi walked slowly and repeatedly turned her head to sneak glances at the police officer. Only after she stepped into the elevator did the cold assistant finally say, "Don't be afraid. It won't hurt a lot."
Hearing this, Yang Xi felt chills down her spine as she clasped her hands together and waited for the elevator to stop. As soon as she heard it ring, she wanted to run away, but the assistant quickly blocked her path and said, "Be careful, don't run around recklessly..."
Yang Xi closed her eyes in despair; she no longer held any hope for the future.
Just as they were about to leave the police station, a black Lincoln Limousine suddenly pulled up in front of Yang Xi...
Afterwards, Tangning was seen stepping out of the car, supporting her stomach. Next to her stood the almighty king-like Mo Ting and the trustworthy Lu Che.
Tangning saw that Yang Xi was being directed towards the car, so she directly walked over and ignored the cold assistant as she said, "Didn't you ask the police to contact me? How come you're leaving before we've spoken?"
Yang Xi finally saw a glimpse of hope. Just as she was about to speak, the assistant stopped her and said, "Sorry Miss Tang, Master Ni needs to urgently see Miss Yang. We will first make our leave."
"I'm pretty sure Master Ni needs to show me some face. After all, there are plenty of reporters waiting to surround this place. Did he want me to chat to Miss Yang right here? I mean, I don't mind...but, I'm afraid..."
On the surface, Tangning's words didn't seem to mean much. But, in reality, she was threatening and warning Master Ni that she was going to speak openly to Yang Xi in front of the media if he didn't hand her over. If that was to happen, she wouldn't be able to guarantee who was to suffer a loss.
Master Ni wasn't stupid, he of course understood what she meant. So, he had no choice but to compromise as he told his assistant over the phone, "Let them speak to each other in private."
