The Blind Lover

Chapter 181 - Vicious

Chapter 181: Vicious

Seeing the confusion in the man’s eyes, Shi Xiao bit her thin lips. A trace of uncontrollable fear appeared in her eyes, and at the same time, her body trembled slightly. She said in a broken voice, “She long wants to harm me. I’m afraid you don’t know who she is, do you? She is the young madam of the Ning Corporation. On the surface, she looks silly, but in fact, she is vicious and cruel. She is just pretending to be innocent and kind! I was supposed to marry the heir of the Ning Corporation, but she stole my fiancé and now she wants to kill me to bury the truth!”

He Bei was stunned when he heard such insider information. He found it difficult to fathom. “She… is actually the wife of the heir to the Ning Family?”

Shi Xiao lowered her head dejectedly, “I’ve loved Ning Chen for many years. I didn’t care that he was blind and always wanted to be by his side to take care of him, but I didn’t expect this woman to actually… forget it, forget it. It’s all in the past. It’s my fault trusting blindly. I thought that when our family adopted her, she would treat us as real family. Who knew how vicious she is.”

He Bei nodded. “Indeed. How can she repay kindness with enmity?”

Shi Xiao’s tears fell. “Later on, my father’s business failed and the company went bankrupt. Even our house was taken away by the bank. We lived in a small and dilapidated rented house. My mother and I went to the Ning family to beg her. We wanted her to help us. They owned many businesses and were well-off. Even a little help would get us through this difficult situation. But she… she kicked us out. She even said that my mother had only been her nanny all these years and was not worthy to be her foster mother. She would not give us a single cent!”

He Bei looked angrily at the woman lying on the ground and said in disbelief, “How can there be such a vicious woman in the world? I’ve really never heard of her before!”

Shi Xiao wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and forced a smile, revealing a self-determined look, “Perhaps… This is all fate. It’s just that this time, she wants to borrow someone else’s hand to take my life. I don’t dare to appear in her sight again. Big brother, let me go. I just want to live well…”

He Bei looked at Shi Xiao with heartache as she tried hard to hold back her tears. This strong and pitiful woman suddenly aroused a strong desire to protect him from the depths of his heart.

“But you’re a weak woman. Where can you go? You’re so beautiful. It’ll be very dangerous for you to go out alone.” He Bei looked at Shi Xiao in worry.

Shi Xiao shook her head with a bitter smile. “No matter where I go, it’s better than being framed by this woman again.”

Looking at He Bei, Shi Xiao lowered her head in disappointment. “I appreciate your concern. I’ll have to handle this on my own and I’m sorry to trouble you.”

How could this be trouble? Shi Xiao’s words seemed to remind He Bei, and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

“If you… don’t mind, you can come hide in my place… Ah, I don’t mean it that way! Although my family doesn’t have much money, my parents left me the house and there’s still a spare room. You can stay and then think about what you should do. I’m a police officer, I definitely won’t do anything unruly. If I make things difficult for you, you can report me directly to my supervisor!” He Bei said this, and suddenly he realized his supervisor was no longer around.

He Bei suddenly felt an indescribable grief.

Just last month, he heard that his boss had committed suicide in prison. He could not understand why someone as determined as his supervisor would go down this path.

He also could not understand why a good police officer who served the law and sacrificed himself for the people would suffer such injustice!

He Bei suppressed the anger in his heart and looked up at Shi Xiao. “If you agree, I can think of a way to transfer you out.”

Although this matter was against the rules, it did not affect the overall plan of this operation. The woman in front of him was just an outsider. Her background was so pitiful, and her sister was now the young madam of the Ning family, there were a hundred ways to kill her.

If she did not help her, what would she do in the future?

Shi Xiao looked at He Bei in disbelief. Her gaze was filled with reverence as if she treated He Bei as a savior, causing He Bei to blush.

“Really? Am I dreaming? I believe you. I knew you were a good person the moment I saw you! I’ll stay a few days at yours. Oh right, my name is Shi Xiao. Call me Xiaoxiao.”

Xiaoxiao, what a nice name.

A bright smile appeared on He Bei’s face. “My name is He Bei.”
