On the wide city road, Ye Xuan drove his Blackpeak Warship slowly along Riverside Avenue. Liao Xiushan sat on the first pa.s.senger seat as he looked out the window at the beautiful scenery of the river. He still hadn"t recovered from what happened in the private room.
Although he already understood that there were a lot of darkness in this world and she thought that the darkness was too far away for her to touch, she didn"t expect the darkness to be right in front of her eyes.
Although she knew that Vice Princ.i.p.al Li Qing wasn"t a good person, she didn"t expect that guy to have two faces. Even people like Hou Kuan were deceived by him into thinking that he was a good person, but he had done so many heinous things in the dark.
If it wasn"t for Ye Xuan"s timely appearance in today"s situation, she couldn"t imagine what would have happened to her.
"Doctor, do you think I"m very unfamiliar and cruel?"
Ye Xuan turned his head and saw Liang Xiaoxiao, who had sunk into silence. A helpless smile couldn"t help but surface on his face as he spoke in a low voice.
At that time, because he was too angry, he had forcefully used his devil flames to burn Ma Qian, Liang Liang, and the others to ashes.
"No …." "No!"
Hearing Ye Xuan"s words, Liang Xiaoxiao quickly recovered and spoke.
"I saw you in a daze and didn"t say anything. I thought you were scared by me. After all, I …"
Ye Xuan lightly said as he shook the window a third of the way down, allowing the cool wind to hit him.
"You are doing this for the sake of the people. Ma Qian, Li Qing and the rest of them are all the same kind of people, so bad that they don"t know how many wicked things they have done with their status and power behind their backs. They deserve to die.
Before Ye Xuan could finish speaking, Little Doctor Liang turned around and looked at him with a serious expression. "The reason why I"m in a daze isn"t because I"m frightened by you. I"m thinking about how there"s so much trash in this world …"
"Phew!" "You should have told me earlier. I thought you were scared by me, causing me to be on tenterhooks while driving!"
Liang Xiaoxiao"s words caused Ye Xuan to completely heave a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid that he"d scare the little girl, so he quickly spoke.
"Why would I be scared by you? "Not at all!"
Liang Xiaoxiao"s face was filled with a gentle and moving smile as she spoke with a mischievous expression.
"Just turn two hundred meters to the left at the intersection up ahead, right?"
Ye Xuan smiled and pointed to the road ahead.
"Well, you"ll have to come to my house later …"
Little Doctor Liang nodded obediently.
"No problem!"
Ye Xuan stepped on the throttle, using the transmission to drive the Blackedge Battleship at an extremely high speed.
After a while, Ye Xuan drove the Blackpeak Warship to an old building and stopped in front of it.
Ye Xuan frowned slightly as he looked at this old building. It was obvious that Doctor Liang"s days in Su Hai weren"t good. Otherwise, she wouldn"t have lived in such a shabby building. Furthermore, it was quite far from the city center and it wouldn"t be convenient for her to work.
At that moment, Ye Xuan couldn"t help but ask, "Doctor, isn"t it inconvenient for you to live and travel here?"
"It"s a bit inconvenient, but the rent here is cheap!" Liang Xiaoxiao"s smile was very brilliant, as if she felt that it was worth it to live here. She truly was a good girl worth being satisfied with.
"How big is the house and how much is the rent per month?" Ye Xuan asked.
"One room for one room, three thousand six hundred!" Liang Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.
"One room for three thousand and six thousand, is it that expensive?" Liang Xiaoxiao"s reply caused Ye Xuan to be dumbstruck.
366 months was more than enough time to rent two rooms and a room with luxurious decorations in Galaxy. One could imagine how expensive Su Hai"s rent was.
"Compared to Galaxy, it"s indeed much more expensive. But this is already considered cheap in Su Hai. The other districts cost 5000 months each. Because the elevator in this district often goes out of order, it"s much cheaper." Little Doctor Liang said helplessly.
"What"s your monthly salary?" Ye Xuan asked again.
"About ten thousand." Liang Xiaoxiao replied in a low voice.
"The rent alone has been removed by more than a third. Adding on the utilities, wouldn"t it be impossible to save up any money if we were to calculate the living expenses like this?"
Ye Xuan lightly sighed. It truly wasn"t easy for Liang Xiaoxiao to be alone in Su Hai.
Moreover, under these circ.u.mstances, it was indeed rare for her to reject Xu Shuheng"s pursuit and many temptations, maintaining her own heart.
"Why can"t I save money? You can save five thousand a month! "
Hearing Ye Xuan"s words, Little Doctor Liang smiled as he spoke, his tone filled with a trace of pride and arrogance.
"Come, I will bring you to see my 3,600 rent house …"
Without waiting for Ye Xuan"s reply, she pulled his hand and walked towards the building.
"Let me guess what floor you live on. This building has a total of twenty-six floors. You live here on the twenty-sixth floor, right? "
Ye Xuan walked into the elevator and looked at the numbers inside. His eyes flickered with wisdom as he smiled and pressed the b.u.t.ton for the twenty-sixth floor.
"You … How do you know? "
Ye Xuan"s conjecture undoubtedly shocked Little Doctor Liang, and astonished words came out of her mouth.
"Because you said that the elevator is often in trouble here, so the rent is a lot cheaper than the other districts. Plus, when you walked into the elevator just now, you habitually looked towards the 26th floor, so …" Ye Xuan replied with a smile.
"Ye Xuan, it"s really a waste of your talent to not become a police officer!" Little Doctor Liang said with a smile.
Perhaps it was because it was still too early, but there was only the two of them in the elevator. As they rode in the elevator, they did not feel depressing while they chatted …
"Clang clang …"
When the elevator reached the 25th floor, it suddenly shook violently. The lights inside the elevator flickered and dimmed at this moment. It was as though they were shooting ghost movies. It was extremely scary …
However, the situation quickly returned to normal, causing the nervous Little Doctor to let out a quiet sigh of relief. She turned around and spoke to Ye Xuan with a wry smile, "Look at the elevator in this district. There are always problems …."
"Clang clang!"
"Ahh …"
However, just as Liang Xiaoxiao finished her sentence, the sound of the lift bearing steel wire breaking suddenly rang out. Following that, the entire elevator shook, and the lights inside went out. It was pitch black.
The elevator immediately lost its balance and plummeted downwards at an extremely fast speed, causing the doctor to lose his balance. He couldn"t help but let out a shriek and almost fell to the ground …
"Doctor, how are you? "It"s fine..."
Seeing this, Ye Xuan reacted quickly and hurriedly held Little Doctor Liang"s body. Words of concern came out of his mouth.
"Ye Xuan, the elevator …" Liang Xiaoxiao shook her head and said anxiously as she felt the elevator plummet.
If they allowed the elevator to fall down like this, they would also be smashed into a pile of meat paste.
"Don"t worry, as long as I"m here, we"ll be fine. You can lean against the wall and use your hands to protect your head. Let me see what"s going on …"
Ye Xuan"s eyes flashed with wisdom. As he took out his phone to illuminate the surroundings, his fingers moved as fast as lightning to press the b.u.t.tons on each floor, hoping that the elevator would stop at a certain floor.
Of course, Ye Xuan didn"t place his hopes on fate. Instead, he leaped, and as he stepped on the wall to climb upwards, a black and white Black Tortoise appeared in his hands, attempting to open the roof of the elevator.
But this elevator had been in use for who knows how many years. The roof of the skylight was already filled with rust, so it couldn"t be opened, causing Ye Xuan"s expression to become exceptionally unsightly.
He tried a few more times, but still could not open the roof of the elevator to escape. This caused his face to darken and he could only give up.
Furthermore, all the lights in the elevator had been extinguished, which meant that the elevator"s electrical system had been damaged. Even the whole district"s electrical system had malfunctioned, so the probability of the elevator stopping was very slim...
If the elevator really could not stop and fell all the way down, then only death awaited them.
"Doctor, it looks like our luck isn"t good. The roof of the elevator can"t be opened at all. We can only resign ourselves to fate!"
Ye Xuan arrived beside Liang Xiaoxiao and spoke with a helpless expression.
This elevator was too old, he had tried every method he could, there was no other way.
Hearing Ye Xuan"s words, Liang Xiaoxiao was stunned and her face went deathly pale. Obviously, she didn"t expect such a result.
At that moment, she raised her head and looked at Ye Xuan with a serious expression. With an apologetic tone, she said, "Sorry, Ye Xuan … …" "It"s all my fault. I"ve harmed you and implicated you. If I hadn"t dragged you to my house, you wouldn"t have …"
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you saying! I believe our luck will not be so bad! "
Ye Xuan couldn"t help but touch her head with his palm as he looked at her blaming herself.
"But …"
Liang Xiaoxiao opened his mouth to say something, but Ye Xuan cut him off. "Besides, if our luck is that bad, wouldn"t it be a good thing to have a great beauty like you with us at the end of our lives?"
"What is it called? Even a dead ghost under a peony flower would be unruly!"
"Puchi …"
Liang Xiaoxiao was undoubtedly amused by Ye Xuan"s words. Her mood eased up quite a bit at this moment. She smiled and looked very charming under the light of her phone, causing Ye Xuan to be completely dumbstruck.
Seeing Ye Xuan"s appearance, Liang Xiaoxiao was also stunned.
Their gazes met, and a strange feeling filled the depths of their hearts.
"Ye …" Ye Xuan, one … I"ve always wanted to say something to you. "
Liang Xiaoxiao clenched her jade hands and mustered her courage, gritting her teeth as she spoke.
He was about to reach the end of his life. If he didn"t say that out loud, he would never have the chance to say it again.
"What do you mean?" Ye Xuan asked.
Feeling Ye Xuan"s gaze, Little Doctor Liang"s face was filled with an alluring blush as deep emotions flowed out of his mouth.
"I... I like you! "
