Was it because life had made her more aware of the importance of money?Seeing her expression, Qin Lianyi suddenly hugged her. "Yiran, I've regretted for years that I didn't help you before. I know clearly that you were wronged, but I couldn’t find favorable evidence for you to help you reverse the case,” she said, word by word. These words had been buried in her heart for a long time."Even when you were in prison, I couldn’t do anything except to console you a little when I visited you. I hate this feeling. Now that I have some clues, I’ll do anything to help you reverse the case. Don't think too much about other things, and don't think you owe me anything."Qin Lianyi's voice, thick with self-accusation, flooded Ling Yiran's ears."Lianyi, I might not have survived at all in prison without your frequent visits and earnest devotion to my case. Don't think that your words are an inconsequential consolation. They give me the courage to live," Ling Yiran said, hugging her friend bac
She only managed to remember the first three and last digits of the license plate number.Immediately, Ling Yiran felt a burst of coldness spreading through her body. What happened? Who the hell were the people in the car? Why did they take Lianyi?!Now Lianyi...Was this considered kidnapping? Or... Ling Yiran subconsciously took out her phone and wanted to call her best friend, but she did not know what kind of situation her best friend was in right now. If she called her, it might make things worse.Her hands began to shake until they could barely hold her phone.With difficulty, she managed to dial 110 to call the police.After reporting the incident, she hurried to the parking lot management office. There were surveillance cameras in the parking lot. There should be surveillance footage of when the car took Lianyi.Nothing could happen to Lianyi, nothing!That was all Ling Yiran had in mind at the moment!...When Yi Jinli got a call from Ling Yiran, he could only hear s
She trembled and slowly raised her head, almost stiffly, to look at the person in front of her. Her wet black eyes seemed to slowly gain focus."Jin, can you help me find Lianyi?" She seemed to come to her senses just then. She hurriedly said, "The police just filed a case. They said they'll send someone to look for her, but they don't know when they'll find her. If only I remember the license plate number... Why didn’t I pay more attention?"There was a note of remorse in her voice.Yi Jinli stared at Ling Yiran. He had only ever seen her so anxious when something happened to her grandmother.Her grandmother was her relative, but Qin Lianyi? She was someone who was not related to her, yet she was still so worried about her.A wave of jealousy suddenly rose in his heart. He was jealous that she was so worried about Qin Lianyi. What about him? Would she be so worried about him if anything had happened to him?"Let's go home first. It's cold here," he said. "Look how cold your hand
A muffled breath now seemed to clog his chest, and he could not get it out or swallow it down.Since when could he not bear to see a woman get worried and afraid? She seemed to be the only one who could make him feel that way.Yi Jinli heaved a sigh that sounded more like a helpless compromise. He took out his phone and made a call. "Help me find someone. I need to know where this person is, whether she's safe or not... Her name is Qin Lianyi. She was taken away by a car this afternoon. The car is..."Yi Jinli said and held out the phone to Ling Yiran, beckoning her to talk.Ling Yiran shuddered and quickly said, "It's a black Maybach, and the license plate number is..."She quickly told them the numbers she remembered, the address of the parking lot, the time it happened, and all the other details.After Ling Yiran finished speaking, Yi Jinli said to the other end of the phone, "That's all. I want to know where this person is as soon as possible!"After ending the call, Yi Jinl
Yi Jinli said nothing more. He straightened up, closed the car door, walked around to the driver's seat, and started the car.Ling Yiran was a little surprised to see Yi Jinli drive. Usually, the driver drove the car.However, because he was driving, she was able to look at his side profile.She had to admit that from the side, she seemed to see more of the solid, clear outline of his features—that straight nose bridge of his and those sexy thin lips.Currently, his hair was not as neat as usual. There were a few strands of hair across his forehead. He looked more like the Jin she had known before.Jin… The thought of the name gave her a complicated feeling. She kept calling him ‘Jin’ just now.Was it because she subconsciously thought only Jin could help her but not Yi Jinli?However, whether it was Jin or Yi Jinli, it was him!Now, he was the only person she could turn to for help. Even though the police were looking for Lianyi, but... she still wanted more people to join in
He wanted her to see only him."If you really must know, you might as well wait with me. If my people have found Qin Lianyi's whereabouts, they'll inform me immediately," Yi Jinli said.That was certainly no problem for Ling Yiran, but... Wait? Where should she wait with him?! Ling Yiran blinked and five minutes later, she finally knew where to wait with him.In Yi Jinli's room!It was not the first time that she had entered his room, but it was the first time that she entered through the front door of his room rather than through the door which connected their rooms.Once inside, Yi Jinli immediately took off his coat and pulled out a cell phone. He set it aside on a coffee table.Ling Yiran was stunned when she saw the phone. It was the same old phone she had bought him at a special price of 1,500 dollars. Many average people might have better phones than this one.Did he keep the phone with him all the time?If he did not, how did she get through to him immediately when she
He... was naked from the waist up!"You..." Her face was red, and her eyes were still closed. She did not dare to open them for fear that she would see something she should not see."Won't you open your eyes, Sis?" His breath was fragrant like an orchid, and his murmur sounded like the deepest enchantment. Ling Yiran, however, kept her eyes closed. She was blushing while urging, "Quickly change your clothes!""I'd rather you look at me," he said. "Besides, I did Sis a favor today. Won't you even look at me, Sis?"Ling Yiran stiffened, and her teeth unconsciously bit her lip. She let out a low cry as she touched the spot where he had bitten her.She heard his low chuckle in her ear. Then, she felt his fingers stroking her lips. "You know what? You looked so cute just now."Cute?Before she had time to react, she suddenly felt some pressure on her lips. It was soft with a touch of warmth. It was his... lips!He was kissing her!Ling Yiran immediately opened her eyes and stared
However, he seemed to turn a deaf ear to her words. He just stared at her and said, "Are you going to hurt me, Sis?"Her body shuddered as she felt her throat tighten as if some words were stuck in it.His eyes were fixed on her as if he was going to see through her."Is that a difficult question?" After a long silence, he muttered, "It's all right if you don't want to answer, but let me remind you..."He bent slowly while his lips got close to her ear. He whispered, "Never hurt me, all right?"As long as she did not hurt him, he would praise her to the heavens, love her to the earth, and even protect her, making sure she was happy and safe for the rest of her life.As long as she did not hurt him!...In the huge room, Ling Yiran fidgeted, occasionally checking the clock on her phone and calculating how long it would be before she heard any news about her best friend.Yi Jinli, on the other hand, had changed into a set of casual clothes and was sitting on the sofa, leafing th
