Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Chi Yue saw his face clearly, and her blood immediately ran cold.
Chi Yue received the address and grabbed her bag, rushing outside.
During this time, she came across Dai Qiu, whom she called out to, "Come with me, my friend is in trouble."
"Sure, okay."
Chi Yue hadn’t let Leng Siling hang up the phone, so she was listening to the sounds from the other end throughout the journey.
If she hadn’t guessed wrong, it seemed to be a conflict between Chu Shuo and Leng Siling, where Chu Shuo wouldn’t let her leave.
Chi Yue’s face was tense as she urged the driver several times, until the driver, exasperated, said, "Miss, everyone’s about to get off work now, and there’s traffic everywhere. If you want to be fast, just grab a shared bike from the roadside."
Chi Yue wanted to, but she didn’t dare.
So she said no more, her hands clenched tightly.
Dai Qiu, seeing her so tense, tried to comfort her, "It’s alright, we’re only a kilometer away from the destination, at most ten minutes and we’ll be there."
"Mm, I know."
Although she said that, Chi Yue’s jaw remained tightly clenched.
Fortunately, the traffic soon cleared, and five minutes later, Chi Yue arrived at No.1 Bay and found Chu Shuo’s home.
She pounded on the door forcefully, "Chu Shuo, open the door! Chu Shuo!"
Dai Qiu pushed up her glasses, "Mr. Chi, let me do it."
Chi Yue turned around and saw Dai Qiu limbering up, preparing to kick the door.
Just as Chi Yue was surprised by her actions, the door opened.
Leng Siling squeezed out and hid behind Chi Yue, clutching her hand tightly.
It was only then that Chi Yue noticed Leng Siling’s clothes were torn and shabby, not so much worn as they were just hanging on her body, and Chi Yue also saw the mottled marks on her body.
Chi Yue was inwardly shocked and hadn’t had the chance to speak to Leng Siling when Chu Shuo came out.
His face grim, he stared fiercely at the woman behind Chi Yue, his eyes malicious, "Do you come here or shall I go there?"
The grip Leng Siling had on Chi Yue’s arm tightened.
Hiding behind Chi Yue, she didn’t dare to look at Chu Shuo, whispering to Chi Yue, "Chu Shuo wants to imprison me, just like Xi Yihang did to Nan Bingyu before. You can’t leave me behind; I’ll die at his hands."
Chi Yue was taken aback.
She truly couldn’t believe Chu Shuo would do something so extreme, but the reality before her eyes forced her to believe it.
"Chi Yue," Chu Shuo called out in a deep voice, "this is between her and me."
Chi Yue gathered her thoughts and said, "Chu Shuo, don’t be impulsive, you need to calm down. How about this, I’ll take her downstairs first, and after you’ve calmed down, we can talk it over properly?"
Chu Shuo’s face was still dark, "I’ve said it, this is our matter, you don’t interfere."
Seeing Chu Shuo still unwilling to budge, Chi Yue grew worried.
Just then, Dai Qiu said, "I’ve already called the police, Mr. Chu. If you don’t want to escalate this, I suggest you calm down now."
Upon hearing that they had called the police, Chu Shuo, though still with a dark expression, refrained from doing anything else and instead turned back into the house.
Chi Yue and Dai Qiu hurriedly supported Leng Siling into the elevator, then draped their coats over her.
After leaving the complex and getting into the car, Leng Siling stopped shaking.
Chi Yue said, "Let’s go back to the studio first; it’s pretty safe there."
"Thank you~"
Back at the studio, Chi Yue got a set of spare clothes for her to change into, then poured her a glass of water and sat down beside her.
"How did things get to this point between you two?"
Leng Siling gripped the cup tightly, and after a long while, she said, "He wanted to sleep with me, but he just learned that I’m already married, so..."
Chi Yue realized, "Chu Shuo has feelings for you."
Suddenly thinking of something, Leng Siling scoffed, "Yes, he has me in his heart but doesn’t wish to marry me."
Chi Yue: "..."
Though she didn’t know why these two had come to this point, it was clear they harbored feelings for each other.
But since Leng Siling wasn’t willing to talk about it, Chi Yue didn’t press her.
After sitting a while, Leng Siling left. Before leaving, she said, "Chi Yue, I’m actually really envious of you."
As for what she was envious of, she didn’t say, turning around and disappearing from sight.
Chi Yue had to rush home to take care of the children, so she packed up and left.
She had actually driven here, but in her haste to leave that afternoon, she had forgotten about it.
The roads weren’t as busy as they had been in the afternoon, and Chi Yue had taken this route hundreds of times.
But at one of the left-turn intersections, Chi Yue hit someone.
She had no idea how that person had appeared there; it was right in the middle of the road.
In a panic, she got out to check and saw a man lying in a pool of blood.
With a trembling voice, Chi Yue called to him, "Sir? Sir, are you okay?"
The man turned over, and when Chi Yue saw his face, her mind went blank and her blood ran cold in her veins.
It was Fu Rongyin!
