Chapter 66: Guilty Conscience

"Xiaoli, why are you here?"

Zheng Nanfeng never expected that Ji Xiaoli would come alone to save him.

For a moment, he was both shocked and scared. "You should leave quickly. It's very dangerous here!"

Ji Xiaoli said crossly, "I come whenever I want. And you, Li Songyuan, did you hear what I said just now?"

Li Songyuan really wanted to chop down at first, but thinking of the money, he put down the knife.

"Fine, I won't hurt him, but not a single cent of the money can be missing!"

Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli was so angry that she wanted to curse.

If she had come a bit later, wouldn't Zheng Nanfeng have been maimed?

"Okay, the money is all here. Now let him go."

Li Songyuan thought for a while and seemed to agree. "Alright, put the money there first."

But Ji Xiaoli knew it wasn't that simple, because she heard the system prompt clearly—

[The scumbag's inner thought: I'll chop him up after I get the money.]

Ji Xiaoli was so angry with this scumbag that her teeth itched. At the same time, she was glad that she had bought the 7777 scumbag prompt back then.

She immediately took out a lighter and threatened, "No, you should stay away from Zheng Nanfeng first. Otherwise, I'll burn this 100 million."

Li Songyuan was shocked by Ji Xiaoli's move.

If the money was really burned, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

After hesitating for a while, Li Songyuan still nodded. "I promise you."

At this time, Zheng Nanfeng, who had been silent all along, spoke up. "No, I don't agree!"

Ji Xiaoli was both angry and amused. She glared at Zheng Nanfeng and interrupted him. "Zheng Nanfeng, I hope you have the awareness of being a hostage!"

Didn't he see that he was like a fish on the chopping board? With Li Songyuan's knife beside him, he should be more obedient.

But Zheng Nanfeng was rarely so disobedient. "But Xiaoli, it's too dangerous here. You should leave quickly, and don't give him the money! You've never spent so much money on me. Why should you give it to him? I'm not happy about it!"

As he spoke, there was a hint of jealousy in his words.

After hearing this, Ji Xiaoli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At such a time, he was still thinking about these things.

Although she was giving the money to Li Songyuan, wasn't it actually for Zheng Nanfeng's life?

Ji Xiaoli ignored him immediately. She opened the suitcase, revealing stacks of RMB, and said coldly, "Li Songyuan, release the person while I hand over the money."

Li Songyuan took a brief look and then told Ji Xiaoli to rummage through it. After confirming, he nodded.

"Okay, let's count to three together. I'll push the person over, and you push the money over."

Ji Xiaoli didn't hesitate. "It's a deal."

Li Songyuan thought for a while. "It's a deal."

After counting down three seconds, Ji Xiaoli and Li Songyuan acted simultaneously.

Just as Li Songyuan was about to get the money, the re - tied Zheng Nanfeng suddenly broke free and knocked Li Songyuan back a few steps.

Caught off guard, Li Songyuan fell to the ground, seeing stars, and even dropped his dagger.

It turned out that Li Songyuan didn't tie him up firmly this time. So when Li Songyuan relaxed his guard to get the money, Zheng Nanfeng untied the hemp rope. Then he took the opportunity to pick up the dagger on the ground and subdued Li Songyuan before he could react.

Before Li Songyuan could react, the cold dagger went from being in his hand to being pressed against his face, scaring the wits out of him.

"Zheng Nanfeng, I'm warning you, don't mess around!"

"Don't worry, I'm not as despicable as you." Zheng Nanfeng burst into wild laughter. "Humph, I said you're no match for me when I'm sober!"

Ji Xiaoli:???

What did you do, big brother?

Ji Xiaoli was really confused. How could the situation be reversed in the blink of an eye?

Zheng Nanfeng turned his head and smiled sincerely. "Xiaoli, call the police quickly! I've caught this guy!"

"Okay." Ji Xiaoli replied blankly and pressed the phone. "Uncle policeman, the suspect has been subdued by the victim. Please come in quickly."

Uncle policeman: "What?"

Ji Xiaoli twitched the corner of her mouth. She understood the policeman's confusion.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed such a thing either.

Although the policeman didn't understand, he rushed in the next second.

Seeing the smiling victim pinning down the suspect, the policemen couldn't help but have a big question mark in their minds.

What on earth had happened?

...

After Li Songyuan was taken away by the police, Ji Xiaoli and Zheng Nanfeng also went to the police station with the policemen.

"... That's how it happened. Li Songyuan wanted to harm Zheng Nanfeng but was subdued by him instead."

Ji Xiaoli was still a bit dazed. "Then it was as you saw."

She never thought that Zheng Nanfeng was actually quite capable.

Uncle policeman: "Okay, thank you for your cooperation, comrade. Wish you a happy life."

After finishing the statement, Ji Xiaoli began to reflect on life.

She felt a sense of unreality because she had experienced so many things in just a few hours.

The policewoman beside her noticed her strange state, patted her hand, and made her a cup of tea.

Zheng Nanfeng also finished his statement at this time and came over. "Xiaoli, thank you for saving me today."

He was really touched. It seemed that his efforts in the past few days had paid off.

Ji Xiaoli glanced at him and wondered whether he was kidnapped because of her. She couldn't help but feel a bit sorry.

"So how are you feeling now?"

Being cared about by his beloved girl, Zheng Nanfeng was overjoyed.

Although the corners of his mouth were grinning widely, he still pretended to be reserved. "I'm much better."

Ji Xiaoli gave him a look and was extremely helpless.

If it weren't for her feeling guilty, she would have rolled her eyes and left.

But she didn't say much. She was really tired after such a tiring day.

Zheng Nanfeng was always paying attention to her. Seeing Ji Xiaoli looking tired, he suggested, "How about we go back and rest first?"

Ji Xiaoli shook her head. "Wait a while."

She wanted to see the outcome of Li Songyuan, and the policemen hadn't said they could leave yet.

However, this made her think of a question.

"Also, since you're so good at fighting, how could you be kidnapped?"

Hearing this, Zheng Nanfeng looked aggrieved. "Wasn't it because I finally kissed my dear girl? I was so happy..."

Ji Xiaoli blushed. She also remembered their previous intimacy and quickly interrupted him. "Stop talking!"

Damn it. This was still a police station. Why did Zheng Nanfeng say everything?

Zheng Nanfeng looked even more aggrieved. "Xiaoli, it was you who asked me..."

The moment he spoke, the attention of the policemen around was also drawn.

Ji Xiaoli turned her head and said coldly, "Stop talking. I don't want to know now."

The situation was really embarrassing now.

Wouldn't she be regarded as someone who wanted to flirt in the police station?

Thinking of this possibility, Ji Xiaoli wished she could shut up.

Zheng Nanfeng didn't understand. He raised his eyebrows and snorted. "You don't want me to say, but I will. Anyway, after I went out, I suddenly heard someone call your name. When I turned around, I was covered with an anesthetic cloth."

Otherwise, with his skills, how could he have been captured by Li Songyuan?

After hearing this, Ji Xiaoli guiltily touched her nose.

She didn't expect that Zheng Nanfeng was captured because of her.

Just then, the familiar system prompt sounded again—

[Urgent notice. There's only one hour left this week, and the system still has 8,000 good - luck points to complete. Please hurry up, player!]
