Chapter 372 She“s Already Lucky That I“ve Not Caused Her Any Trouble
An Fengyang stroked his chin with one hand as if he was thinking it over.
Shui Anluo lowered her head. Her eyes flashed with a sense of determination and she looked up at them. “I know that Yuan Jiayi’s father was your benefactor so I won’t trouble both of you over this matter. I can find proof on my own.”
Shui Anluo knew that if it had not been for Yuan Jiayi’s father, both of them would probably have left this world long ago during that fire. Therefore, she had not insisted on asking them to help her with anything.
Shui Anluo had spoken in such a serious manner and without any trace of annoyance.
Chu Ningyi scoffed icily, she was really fair and considerate.
An Fengyang burst into laughter instead and stroked her head. “Beautiful Sister, if she really was behind it all, that means that she has involved herself in an attempted murder. We won’t possibly indulge a murderer over past kindness.”
Shui Anluo looked up at Chu Ningyi but he only continued to stare coldly at her.
Shui Anluo curled her lips. She was doing this for their own good and did not want them to carry the debt of their conscience.
An Fengyang stared at the pair but only chuckled. He has no intention of offering any form of persuasion.
“If you’re not planning on going down the mountain, what’re you going to do?” An Fengyang asked.
“Generate buzz in the media when you get back, say that I’ve gone abroad on official business and that Shui Anluo can’t be found. I believe that since there’s a hired thug involved, they would definitely be paid once it’s confirmed that there’s no news of Shui Anluo,” Chu Ningyi icily instructed.
An Fengyang nodded, he understood what Chu Ningyi meant.
“Keep an eye on Yuan Jiayi?” An Fengyang asked.
“Including Lin Qianchen, Shui Anjiao, and An Jiahui,” Chu Ningyi icily replied, listing out everyone who hates Shui Anluo.
An Fengyang nodded, indicating that he had understood.
Shui Anluo looked up at Chu Ningyi. His expression was steadfast but due to being baptized by a mudslide, his face was also full of dried mud stains. Shui Anluo believes that he probably had no idea or he would have wiped it all off by now.
Chu Ningyi kept one hand on Shui Anluo’s shoulder and looked up at the faraway sun which had not set yet.
“I’ll go ahead and settle this matter. Will you be going down the mountain after dark?” An Fengyang asked. “However, I saw Qiao Yaruan who’s still searching at the foot of the mountain as I was coming up. Don’t you want to tell her?” Even though he had only noticed her from a distance, his guess should be accurate.
“Yes, yes, yes, she’s the one who brought me here. She’ll blame herself into insanity if I don’t tell her.” Shui Anluo got up and tugged An Fengyang’s wrists anxiously.
Chu Ningyi reached out and pulled her back into his arms and frowned. “Don’t tell her.” He has yet to settle the score with Qiao Yaruan.
Chu Ningyi scoffed internally. A woman who usually seemed rather bright actually had the gall to drag his woman into a place like this and she had nearly ended up in an accident.
“Hey...” Shui Anluo objected.
Yet An Fengyang understood. Besides, he has no intention of telling her either. After all, in contrast to Qiao Yaruan, he has a much closer relationship with Shui Anluo. Even he felt that Qiao Yaruan was still the cause behind all of this.
If it had not been for Qiao Yaruan, this would never have happened to Shui Anluo.
An Fengyang left but Shui Anluo continued to tug on Chu Ningyi’s arm and said, “Yaruan has nothing to do with this, it’s my fault for not rejecting her.”
“All I know is that it’s her fault that something had nearly happened to you, Shui Anluo. She’s lucky that I’ve not caused her any trouble,” Chu Ningyi said icily.
Even though Chu Ningyi sounded as if he was doing this for her, Shui Anluo could not bear letting Qiao Yaruan drown in remorse over her sake.
“Chu Ningyi...”
“Would you believe that I’d send someone to cause trouble for her if you said anything more?” Chu Ningyi threatened icily.
Shui Anluo knew that Chu Ningyi would do as he said so she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
