The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Since Kang Lin was trying to resist the police, they were holding her firmly before they entered the room.

Xia Meilin was calmly looking at what was happening in front of her.

"Xiao Mei!" Ji Ruo went and gave her a tight hug. "I’m glad that you’re alright."

She hugged her grandmother back and closed her eyes, "Everything is going to be alright now grandma... She will never come near us anymore..."

"Your mother and father will be very proud of you if they were here." Xia Jiamu said as a small smile appeared on his lips. "Justice has been served."

Xia Meilin leaned back and wiped Ji Ruo’s tears away, "Everything will be alright now, grandma."

Just then, Xia Meilin saw someone from her peripheral view which made her turned her head.

By the entrance of the police station, Lu Yifeng stood there, "Yifeng!"

She rushed to his side but the moment she was within Lu Yifeng’s reach, he pulled her into his arms.

Her tears fell like waterfalls when she felt Lu Yifeng’s arms around her and this made her hug him back. Her heart kept on beating fast and her tears were nonstop as she hugged him close. "You’re safe! You’re safe!"

Lu Yifeng smiled a bit as he leaned back and touched her cheek gently, "You’re really a crybaby."

"I was so worried of you and yet this is what you have to say to me?" She slapped his hand away. She was about to say something else but when her eyes fell on Lu Yifeng’s shirt, her eyes were instantly filled with horror when she saw the blood on it. "T-This blood... are you hurt?!"

"This blood is not mine." He lowered his head. "It’s from... Nian Jiezhen... she protected me..."

It has been days since Ren Shiyuan last left his suite. Ever since Nian Jiezhen rejected his proposal, he locked himself in his place because of the severe heartache he felt.

"Ren Shiyuan, wake up!" Sun Xiang, Ren Shiyuan’s manager exclaimed while he was cleaning his room since it was full of canned beer.

Ren Shiyuan groaned as he felt his headache. Aside from that, he was feeling groggy.

"There’s a hangover soup on the dining room, go eat it before it gets cold. You have to meet with Mr. Yun today so get up already."

With a heavy body, Ren Shiyuan got off his bed with a blank look on his eyes. For the past few days, Nian Jiezhen’s rejection was really a fatal blow for him. Everything was going well for them and they managed to work things out with each other but what went wrong with his proposal?

After eating the hangover soup, he went to get some bath and wore a black shirt with a navy coat over.

He was tempted to give Nian Jiezhen a call but he didn’t know what to say to her. Come back to him? Will she even listen to what he will have to say to her?

Ren Shiyuan was already in the car as his manager drove him to the place where he will be meeting a director.

When Ren Shiyuan took his phone out and check for any calls or messages, he saw a message from Nian Jiezhen. His heart started pounding like crazy when he saw the pet name he gave for her.

[From: Princess ♥

8:34 AM

Can we talk?]

The message was sent early this morning and it was already past lunch time.

Worried that Nian Jiezhen might misunderstand him for not replying, he quickly started typing a message for her.

[Where should we meet?]

After sending the message, he quickly added, [And what time?]

Ren Shiyuan kept tapping his finger on his lap as he waited for a reply but minutes past and there was no reply from.

As he was being impatient, he tried calling her instead but... his call didn’t go through since her phone was off.

Ren Shiyuan couldn’t help but feel irritated when Nian Jiezhen wasn’t answering his call. What was she doing right now? Where was she? Why was she not answering him?

"... shooting by the National Park. According to the information we got, Lin Yiyang, a subordinate of Yong Biqi was after Lu Yifeng’s life. The police were able to get in time but because Lin Yiyang and his men refused to give themselves up, the police were forced to fight back. As a result, Five were killed in Lin Yiyang’s side, including himself while, four from the law enforcers were injured and one Interpol officer was shot dead..."

Ren Shiyuan furrowed his brows when he heard the report from the radio. "Make it louder."

"Huh?"

"The News!"

Sun Xiang was startled because of Ren Shiyuan’s sudden loud remark. He quickly turned the radio loud for him.

"A total of 12 people were brought to Chanyang hospital for-"

"Turn the car around!" Ren Shiyuan shouted. For some reason, he couldn’t stop himself from thinking of Nian Jiezhen.

"But Mr. Yun is-"

"I don’t give an f*ck! Turn the car around and drive fast to Chanyang Hospital! NOW!!!"
