Chapter 271: Chapter 271 He’s Here (3)
He Jingyao was about to turn around when he halted at the words.
He smiled slightly, “That works.”
Xia Xinyu was startled.
“Why don’t I just stay here, and you can talk to me directly when you’ve thought things through?”
As he spoke, he looked toward the door guarded by his subordinates, raised his eyebrows, and walked over nonchalantly.
Xia Xinyu just stood there, staring blankly as He Jingyao passed by her side.
There was a moment when He Jingyao slightly furrowed his brows, seemingly because he was too close to her.
The men with scarred faces and the others watched him approach, on high alert, each aiming their guns at him, but He Jingyao seemed to ignore them completely. He calmly walked to the door, pushed it open, and went inside.
All the dozen men looked at each other, at a loss for words.
Was He Jingyao… walking into a trap of his own?
****************
Su Zixi heard faint noises from outside.
But she no longer had the strength to think about what was happening; she didn’t even care if she could be rescued successfully.
The feeling of loneliness and helplessness that surged up from the depths of her heart had completely overwhelmed her.
Su Zixi sat on the ground, hugging her knees, her face buried in her arms.
She felt that she might not even have the strength to lift her head.
She didn’t know how long had passed when she heard the “creak” again.
Having been there for a while, Su Zixi could guess that this place must be an abandoned group of buildings, so the door was still in its original state, unpainted. Each time it was opened, the noise was very noticeable.
Had Xia Xinyu come in?
She must be here to mock her, right? Or perhaps, to kill her outright?
Su Zixi knew she should pretend to be nonchalant, lift her head, and tell Xia Xinyu with a light heart that her efforts had failed.
But…
But she just couldn’t do it; it was as if all her strength had been drained, and nothing could stir even the slightest emotion in her anymore.

The footsteps seemed unusually different.
Xinyu’s steps were always chaotic and hurried when she came in, but this time, the footsteps were exceptionally calm, and the sound didn’t match Xinyu’s.
Maybe they belonged to one of Xinyu’s lackeys, Su Zixi guessed.
But she still didn’t lift her head to take a look.
The footsteps drew closer and closer, finally stopping in front of her.
The person seemed to let out a light chuckle.
Su Zixi thought she had misheard because… she found that chuckle strikingly familiar.
Then, a more familiar scent enveloped her, a fragrance that in her memory belonged only to one person.
She thought she must be so out of it that she was having a hallucination.
She spoke weakly, “What exactly do you want to do? Kill me or flay me, it’s all up to you.”
Following another light chuckle, a warm hand rested on the top of her head.
“Kill you or flay you? They don’t have the guts for that,” the man’s low and deep voice reached her ears.
Su Zixi trembled all over and suddenly looked up!
Before her eyes was a face of extraordinary beauty, with deep-set black eyes that were filled with concern and a hint of teasing.
She should have been quite familiar with this face, yet at that moment, Su Zixi couldn’t help but feel dizzy.
“Jingyao…” It took her a long time to utter these two words, disbelieving.
He Jingyao sighed softly, “It’s me.”
As he spoke, he extended his hand to wrap it around her shoulders and drew her into his embrace, “Zhixi, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
