Zhong Yizhi saw the fear in Xu Qingqing's eyes. He gesticulated clumsily and said, "Don't be afraid of me. I did something wrong before. I'm here to beg for your forgiveness!"
After saying that, Zhong Yizhi knelt directly in front of Xu Qingqing and kowtowed vigorously to apologize.
"Please let me go! Please!"
Xu Qingqing was frightened by the crazy Zhong Yizhi. She turned around and tried to run, but Zhong Yizhi grabbed her leg.
"Please forgive me! Please!"
Zhong Yizhi's cries were heart - rending, as if Xu Qingqing had done something bad to him.
Xu Qingqing kicked her legs forcefully, trying to shake off Zhong Yizhi. Her whole body exuded an air of coldness and indifference, keeping people at a distance.
"If you keep holding my leg, I'll call the police! Bastard, let go of me!"
This Zhong Yizhi was really pushing it too far! She hadn't done anything, yet he came to cause trouble for her!
Seeing that Xu Qingqing wasn't going to care about him, Zhong Yizhi grabbed the messy hair on his forehead with one hand and rummaged in his pocket with the other.
"If it weren't for you, why would all the investors withdraw their funds from me!"
"If it weren't for you, why would no one want to cooperate with me? If you don't forgive me, then let's just die together!"
After saying that, Zhong Yizhi crazily took out a fruit knife from his bosom and pointed it at Xu Qingqing tremulously.
Xu Qingqing's eyes suddenly turned cold, filled with cold - bloodedness.
She had never intended to put Zhong Yizhi to death. Even when Zhong Yizhi spread rumors about her on the Internet and maliciously edited videos of the two children, turning their family into bad guys who didn't respect guests and causing them to be attacked by many netizens, Xu Qingqing only sent a lawyer's letter asking Zhong Yizhi to restore the truth and apologize.
Zhong Yizhi's miserable situation was entirely his own doing.
If there was someone who added fuel to the fire, it should be Lu Chuanbai who warned some people behind the scenes.
But this was also Zhong Yizhi's just deserts.
Seeing Zhong Yizhi getting more and more emotional, Xu Qingqing turned around and ran.
Zhong Yizhi waved the knife and quickly chased after her. A crazy smile appeared on his face, looking like a man who had gone mad due to the blow.
While running, Xu Qingqing took out her phone to call the police. "Hello, is that the police? I'm being maliciously attacked right now. My home is at..."
Seeing Xu Qingqing taking out her phone to call the police, Zhong Yizhi's face changed drastically. He casually grabbed a clod of earth from the grass and threw it at Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing's back hurt from the hit. She gritted her teeth and tried to keep running, but Zhong Yizhi grabbed a big rock and threw it at her forcefully.
Xu Qingqing looked back while running and narrowly dodged it, but the rock still hit her heel. She fell heavily to the ground.
"Ah!" Xu Qingqing's hands were scraped. She stared coldly at Zhong Yizhi who was getting closer and closer, her eyes filled with despair.
"What do you want to do! I'm warning you, don't come closer!"
After the press conference, Lu Chuanbai, who had returned home early to celebrate, saw Zhong Yizhi persecuting Xu Qingqing.
The sharp knife in Zhong Yizhi's hand was only a few centimeters away from stabbing into Xu Qingqing's chest. Xu Qingqing was desperately holding Zhong Yizhi's hand in a last - ditch resistance.
When Lu Chuanbai saw this scene, his heart seemed to stop. Without thinking, he got out of the car and ran quickly to Xu Qingqing's side. He kicked Zhong Yizhi flying with one kick.
This kick carried all of Lu Chuanbai's anger. Zhong Yizhi was kicked three or four meters away and fell heavily to the ground.
Lu Chuanbai immediately picked up Xu Qingqing and stuffed her into the car. Then he closed the car door, worried that Zhong Yizhi would attack again.
After Zhong Yizhi got up from the ground, he waved the knife and rushed towards the car, stabbing the glass with the tip of the knife again and again.
Fortunately, the glass could even prevent bullets. Apart from some scratches, the safety of Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai was at least protected.
Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai waited until the police came. The police stopped the crazy Zhong Yizhi and took him away.
Seeing Zhong Yizhi being put into the police car, Xu Qingqing, who had been on high alert, finally relaxed completely and gasped slightly.
"I was so scared. I thought it was all over!"
Lu Chuanbai gently pulled Xu Qingqing into his arms and patted her on the back to comfort her.
Although Lu Chuanbai kept a cold face and said nothing, Xu Qingqing, who was leaning against Lu Chuanbai's chest, could feel his pounding heart.
Presumably, Lu Chuanbai was also very scared after seeing what had just happened.
The two hugged each other for three or four minutes. Xu Qingqing recovered and glanced at the watch on her wrist.
It was already 4 o'clock. It was time to pick up the two children from school.
Xu Qingqing pushed Lu Chuanbai's arms away, trying to get out of his embrace, but Lu Chuanbai hugged her even tighter, resting his chin on Xu Qingqing's head.
"Don't go. Let me hold you for a while longer..."
Lu Chuanbai's voice was hoarse, like century - old aged wine, full of charm.
Xu Qingqing bit her lower lip and nestled in Lu Chuanbai's arms. She suppressed her pounding heart and boldly comforted him, "I'm okay. It just looked scary, but I'm not injured."
Lu Chuanbai silently held Xu Qingqing's hand and rubbed her fingertips.
"If I hadn't arrived in time, God knows what would have happened. I'll take you with me wherever I go from now on. Otherwise, I won't be at ease."
Hearing Lu Chuanbai's words, Xu Qingqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She twined her fingers with Lu Chuanbai's.
"What can you do to take me with you all the time? Are you going to turn me into Thumbelina and put me in your pocket?"
Xu Qingqing imagined herself being put in Lu Chuanbai's pocket and couldn't help smiling.
Lu Chuanbai let go of Xu Qingqing. His face was gloomy. He looked at Xu Qingqing reproachfully.
"I'm worried about you, but you're actually joking with me. Are you deliberately trying to make me angry?"
Seeing Lu Chuanbai's serious face, the smile on Xu Qingqing's face disappeared. She gently pulled Lu Chuanbai's hand and spoke in a soft, coquettish voice.
"I'm not deliberately trying to make you angry. I just don't want you to worry anymore."
Seeing Xu Qingqing's cute pouting face, most of Lu Chuanbai's annoyance dissipated. He ruffled Xu Qingqing's hair.
"I'm just worried that the same thing might happen again. What if I'm not by your side then?"
Xu Qingqing seriously raised her finger and swore, "I'll exercise seriously from now on. When something like this happens, I'll run as fast as I can."
Only then did Lu Chuanbai feel relieved. He was thinking in his mind whether he should sign Xu Qingqing up for a boxing class or something.
Then, even if there was danger, Xu Qingqing could give the opponent a good beating.
