PATH

CHAPTER 201 - WAY OF LIFE

Zhou Xing Chen lazily stared at her, his lips curling into a devilish smile. You don't have the qualifications to negotiate with me. I'll think about it once I've done it well, but if I don't do it well, you know that I've always been known for my ruthlessness.

Yu Xue's face turned pale. She slowly opened her palm, only to see that the light red nail marks were still on it.

What do you want me to do? Her chin was slightly pulled back, and in that instant, her expression was extremely similar to Liang Jia's.

However, Zhou Xing Chen's expression was still the same as his target. He lightly tapped the table, his lips curling into a smile. I want you to repeat the same method you used to deal with me.

Wasn't Ouyang Ye very capable? Aren't you good at making up lies? Then, this time, he would repay the favor with a tooth, and ruthlessly return the disappointment from before onto his body.

They could even find out where Liang Jia was.

Just two birds with one stone.

Zhou Xing Chen's gaze turned extremely dark, as if thick black liquid was about to swallow everything in front of him.

The car drove very quickly, arriving at the LIA's office building in no time. Yu Xue stared at the building in front of her, then glanced back at Zhou Xing Chen who was sitting in the car.

Receiving Zhou Xing Chen's invisible nod, Yu Xue tidied up her expression and slowly walked into the LIA building.

She knew that Zhou Xing Chen had placed a locator around her. Even if he didn't appear right in front of her eyes now, she still wouldn't be able to disobey his orders.

She took a deep breath and looked at the front desk lady, Hello, I'm Liang Jia. May I trouble you to give your CEO Ouyang a call? Say I'm here.

Although the front desk girl looked at her suspiciously, she had seen the news and knew who the person in front of her was.

The real Liang Jia didn't know what Zhou Xing Chen was doing outside at all. The only place she could communicate with the outside world was monitored by Ouyang Ye, and there was no way she could escape.

After hanging up the phone, Liang Jia's downcast eyes seemed to be thinking about something. She somewhat impatiently looked out the window, but suddenly saw a nanny carrying fruit walking over.

That's right, it's her!

This woman was originally not Ouyang Ye's nanny, but the original nanny of this manor. Last night, she had even seen her crying with an envelope in her arms, murmuring something.

If he wasn't wrong, the person in front of him was most likely in need of money.

She narrowed her eyes at the busy, haggard woman and bit her lip.

She decided to go all out.

Rather than just sitting here waiting to die, he might as well create his own way out.

She lowered her eyes and walked to the side of the haggard woman, watching her fiddle with the tableware on the table. Her skinny hands narrowed, Mrs Chen, have you been working here for a long time?

Mrs Chen's hand paused, her turbid eyes looking somewhat fearfully at Liang Jia. Lowering her head, she weakly replied, Yes but Miss, I will work even harder in the future!

Liang Jia suddenly smiled. Stretching out her hand, she lazily picked up the red wine cup in front of her and took a sip. Mother Chen, you don't have to be nervous. I'm just casually asking if you have any difficulties that you didn't share with us?

Mrs. Chen's cloudy eyes carried a trace of unease as she carefully looked at Liang Jia. She was somewhat hesitant, not knowing whether to say, My Miss, did I not finish my work? I will definitely work even harder.

Seeing the uneasiness in her eyes, he stretched out a hand to comfort her instead. Mother Chen, don't worry, I didn't mean to trick you. I know that you hid and cried yesterday, and I also heard that your son owed a lot of money because of an illness. I came to help you.

Miss! Mrs Chen was somewhat surprised. She clearly didn't know where Liang Jia found out so much, but this was only what Liang Jia had figured out after hearing her crying yesterday.

Chen Niang was quiet for a moment, then she bit her teeth and revealed the whole story, Yes, Miss. My son is currently in the hospital, so he spent a lot of money to treat him.

I can give it to you. Liang Jia's voice was especially resounding in the silent space. To Madame Chen's ears, it sounded like a benefactor saving the world.

But when she thought about it again, Mrs Chen still had some misgivings. Miss, why are you so good to me?

You asked a very good question. I naturally have a request for you if I give you the money. Liang Jia's eyes narrowed slightly. She looked at the old woman in front of her and smiled. This watch is worth ten million. If you sell it, I think it will be enough to cure your son. It will be enough for you to pay for the medical fees.

However, Liang Jia's expression suddenly became dignified. She stared at the old woman's cloudy eyes. The matter that I am going to tell you, you can't let anyone other than me know.

I know that you have stayed in this manor for quite some time, so I'm counting on you to take a good look at the best route out of the manor. Of course, this route must be done according to the correct route and must not be discovered by anyone. Especially Young Master Ouyang, do you know? "

He didn't want Young Master Ouyang to know …

She bit her lips in hesitation. If this matter were to be discovered by Young Master Ouyang, then she would definitely not have a good ending. Moreover, it was very likely that she would lose this job, but the thought of ten million to help her son treat his illness was something she would never be able to earn in a long time.

Therefore, she still clenched her teeth and agreed to Liang Jia's request.

Alright, I promise you that you will be able to leave tonight!

He raised his wine cup, and as if he had thought of something, told his mother to bring her his phone. All the calls were monitored, but fortunately, Ouyang Ye also did not expect that she would use a servant's cell phone.

The next step was to ask Xia Zhiyang where he would be able to get her.

She reached out her hand and quickly pressed a number on the screen. Hearing the beep on the other end of the phone being answered, and hearing a beautiful female voice resounding in her ears, Liang Jia was finally relieved. Hello? I am Liang Jia. Remember me?

Miss Liang Jia?

The other side of the phone went silent for a while, then Liang Jia didn't pay any attention to the sound of someone receiving news.

How is the matter that I told you last time?

The woman on the other end of the phone chuckled, causing Liang Jia to feel a trace of discomfort in her heart. Of course. When you walk out of the manor, you will see a hotel. Our car will be parked in front of the hotel and Mr. Xia will pick you up in the car.

Alright.

After hanging up the phone, Liang Jia felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

Actually, Liang Jia probably didn't expect that Xia Qin'er would have picked up on the other side of the phone a long time ago.

Liang Jia probably didn't think that the so-called support was just a scam from her, Xia Qin'er.

Want to go home? You still want Xia Zhiyang to come and get her?

It was simply a pipe dream. Xia Zhiyang didn't even know about this.

CHAPTER 202 - WILL YOU COME WITH ME

Are you coming with me or not?

Sure enough, after the call, Ouyang Ye felt a bit suspicious, but he still asked his secretary to take her to his office on the twenty-third floor.

The secretary was well-trained. Even though he was curious, he didn't say anything and just got on the elevator respectfully to send Yu Xue up to the 23rd floor.

Yu Xue took a deep breath, her nails digging deep into the flesh.

After restraining her facial expression, the secretary knocked lightly on the door. Yu Xue stood at the door and saw Ouyang Ye sitting on the reclining chair.

Ouyang Ye didn't seem to have noticed him. He seemed to be following the person in front of him, discussing something with a cold expression.

The secretary knocked on the door a few times, and Ouyang Ye finally raised his eyes.

Against the light, Ouyang Ye's eyes narrowed. He looked at Yu Xue in surprise, but then his gaze softened. There was a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth. He walked over and gently tucked Yu Xue's scattered hair behind her ears, saying in a soft voice, Jia Jia Jia Jia, why have you come?

The man on the sofa also raised his head to look along with Ouyang Ye. He was stunned on the spot when he saw who it was.

Yu Xue lowered her head and felt a wave of pain in her heart. Her face rippled with guilt. Sorry, Ouyang Ye, I hid it from you and ran out. Now I can't find my own way back, so …

Upon hearing this, the depth in Ouyang Ye's eyes became a little deep. He stroked Yu Xue's soft hair and chuckled, It's okay, it's good that you know how to come back.

However, a trace of haze flashed across the eyes of the man sitting on the sofa. He stood up somewhat sullenly. Liang Jia, what are you doing!?

If he hadn't come to the LIA to discuss cooperation, he would have never seen such a scene. What was wrong with her to accept being touched by another man!? Then wouldn't his previous agreement be meaningless!

As he roared furiously throughout his life, Yu Xue narrowed her eyes and looked at him. She saw that the man's facial features were deep and his eyebrows were picturesque. At this moment, his eyes were filled with anger as if she had done something to let him down.

She bit her lip as her heart felt a bit dizzy. She had no idea who this man in front of her was, or if he really was an old friend of Liang Jia's.

She frowned. Ouyang Ye had once told her that the real Liang Jia had long since lost her memory, so she could fool the man in front of her, whether he was Liang Jia's friend or not.

Thinking up to here, she smiled and said to the man in front of her with a puzzled expression, Mister, I don't know what you're talking about. Do you know me? I'm sorry, but I don't think you know. I've lost my memory, so I can't remember some things very clearly."

Her ears were stuck with a small, exquisite headset that Zhou Xing Chen had specifically ordered her to wear in order to keep an eye on him. She bit her lips, looking at the man in front of her at a loss of what to do.

But no, the headphones were still quiet and no words came out.

She lowered her eyes, knowing that she could only resolve the issue on her own. I don't know what your relationship was with me, but Ouyang Ye is my fiance, so I think it's normal for me to act like this.

The man squinted his eyes and rushed forward in disbelief with the intention to grab Yu Xue's shoulder, but he was blocked by Ouyang Ye. He looked directly at the man in front of him and said, Yan Guansan, what are you trying to do? She's my fiancée.

Fiancée? What kind of international joke is this? Yan Du An smirked, then looked Yu Xue straight in the eye, Jia Jia Jia, tell me, what is going on here? Why did you become his fiancee?! "

Yu Xue lowered her head and bit her lips. At this point, there was no turning back. Mister, I don't know what you're talking about. I am his fiancee, and we will be flying abroad to get married soon.

Hearing this, Ouyang Ye's eyes moved slightly. He turned around and saw Yu Xue's expression. Seeing her neither humble nor arrogant, saying that she wanted to marry him, his heart jumped with joy.

You're lying! Yan Zuoan looked at Ouyang Ye, who had turned around to provoke him. He could not control his anger and threw a punch at Ouyang Ye. Ouyang Ye was knocked to the side before he could defend himself. He grabbed Yu Xue and was about to leave.

Since you know that you have lost your memories and many things are not true, then come back with me and let me tell you the truth. Yan Duuan's attitude was a bit unyielding. Yu Xue's wrist felt as if it was being torn apart.

Ouyang Ye came back to his senses. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and he punched Yan Guansan who was pulling Yu Xue away, Let go of her! My fiancee is not up to you to touch!

His expression was a little cold. Looking at Yu Xue in front of him, she revealed a smile, but said to Ouyang Ye, We will not move first. He will decide for himself.

His gaze was burning, and he stared at Yu Xue without relaxing for a moment: Tell me, are you coming with me or not, do you want to know who you are and what happened to you? Or, his finger suddenly pointed towards Ouyang Ye, who was standing up and wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, This man who claims to be your fiancé!

Yu Xue stood where she was, at a loss of what to do. For a moment, the air was deathly silent.

I … Yu Xue opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to reply.

Fortunately, at this moment, there was a slight disturbance in his earphones, and a slight noise could be heard coming from that layer of cotton wool. It was Zhou Xing Chen who had been sitting in the car listening to the order for a long time.

The voice was very soft, only Yu Xue could hear it.

If you refuse, don't hesitate to leave with Ouyang Ye. Pausing, his tone carried a hint of threat and warning, Remember, don't be fooled. Your task is not yet complete. Your family can be in danger at any time.

Hearing Zhou Xing Chen's clear words, Yu Xue's fingers curled into a ball, her nails digging into her flesh, leaving behind a deep red mark. She bit her lips, looking at Yan Du, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, even though you said that you know me, but I think we've only met for the first time, and I still don't believe you. Compared to my fiancé, I think I believe in him more.

Yu Xue lowered her eyes, and smiled at Yan Du An: I can't go back with you to listen to your story, I'm sorry.

Yan Du An's eyes instantly became cold. He sneered, as if he was looking at a completely new person. He no longer looked at Yu Xue. His hands tightly clenched, he turned around and walked out the door.

Yu Xue, who kept her eyes lowered, did not look at him, and Ouyang Ye, who had a deep look in his eyes, curled up the corner of his mouth.

CHAPTER 203 - SHE'S GONE!

She's gone!

After the farce, Ouyang Ye narrowed his eyes and a profound look flashed across them. He turned around and took Yu Xue's hand.

Let's go home. It just so happens that everything has been settled. Frowning, he reached for the office door.

It looked like it would be inappropriate to stay here any longer. Zhou Weiqing might come looking for him in the near future. If the investigation's results were correct, then that person must be Zhou Xing Chen's cousin.

Yu Xue hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. She was still afraid that Ouyang Ye, like Zhou Xing Chen, would see through her weakness, so Ouyang Ye had already dragged her into the car. She bit her lips and looked at Ouyang Ye, who was sitting quietly beside her.

Ouyang Ye smiled. He took her hand and rubbed his slender fingers on the back of it. He felt a tingling sensation coming from the skin they touched. Why did you suddenly think of coming from outside?

He reached out his hand and naturally pulled her hair back behind her ear. Why didn't you wear that earring today?

Yu Xue bit her lips. Her eyes instantly became a little panicky and she felt her heart violently beating. She calmed her heart and said, I felt tired, so I didn't wear it.

Ouyang Ye chuckled, his gaze somewhat profound as he stared at the side of her face that was lowered.

Yu Xue's fingers tightly gripped the skirt at her feet. She was afraid that Ouyang Ye would recognize her at the next moment. She bit her lips and was about to say something.

He narrowed his eyes, and his expression instantly became somewhat gloomy. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, and said with an unfriendly tone, Hello? Didn't I tell you? The company's affairs are now left to Manager Pei.

The person on the other end of the phone was flustered and flustered. His voice was loud to the point that even the silent car could hear him, That's not it, Young Master. Miss Liang Jia has disappeared!

Liang Jia had disappeared!

Yu Xue's body suddenly stiffened. Hearing the voice coming from the phone, she bit her lips and her fingers paused. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and smiled towards Ouyang Ye. Where did I go? Didn't I still stay by your side? "

Her heart clenched tightly, afraid that Zhou Xing Chen wouldn't understand what she meant.

However, Zhou Xing Chen was not a foolish person. He narrowed his eyes and heard the weak man's voice from Yu Xue's overhearing device saying that Liang Jia had disappeared, and then Yu Xue's low voice explaining to Ouyang Ye.

He just knew that Liang Jia had disappeared!

But Liang Jia had disappeared. He frowned and a thread of uneasiness suddenly rose in her heart. His fingers unconsciously lightly tapped the steering wheel as she pursed her lips.

Where would she go now that she was gone? But no matter what, she must have run away because she couldn't stand Ouyang Ye's surveillance.

He took a deep breath and glanced at his surroundings. He seemed to already know where Ouyang Ye was planning to hide Liang Jia. Narrowing his eyes, he decided to turn around and look for Liang Jia.

Another familiar voice came from the headset. Zhou Xing Chen's voice was somewhat casual, but it was still full of coercion. Stay by Ouyang Ye's side and continue to be Jia'er. Remember, don't have any holes.

Yu Xue's fingers curled into a fist. Knowing that Zhou Weiqing would not care if she went to find Liang Jia, her heart grew even more uncertain.

Seeing Yu Xue in front of her eyes, he felt a little uneasy. He thought she was dissatisfied with the fact that he was monitoring her.

Ouyang Ye's beautiful almond-shaped eyes glanced at her. He lowered his voice as if he was comforting the person on the other end of the phone. He also comforted Yu Xue, She's by my side.

Ouyang Ye's cold eyes suddenly flashed as he saw a black Mercedes-Benz behind him. He frowned as he watched the car drive away. He turned back to look at Yu Xue, who was still fidgeting while biting her lip, and the depth of his eyes deepened.

If the black Mercedes-Benz was right, it was most likely Zhou Xing Chen's car.

But why was he following her, and why was he planning to stop now?

If he lifted his eyelids lightly and glanced at the restless woman beside him. This woman in front of him was really Liang Jia. Why did he give up so easily?

He lowered his eyes and took out his cell phone from his pocket. Find someone to follow the car behind us.

Soon, there would be an answer.

No.

Nor here.

Zhou Xing Chen's lips curled into a frown as he walked down the path in a zigzag. He still couldn't see the figure of the woman he missed. He frowned, thinking to himself that Ouyang Ye had arranged this play again.

But he soon rejected the idea, because he saw in the rearview mirror that the man behind him was carefully following him.

Zhou Xing Chen narrowed his eyes, the corners of his lips curling up into a smile.

Very well, then I'll play with you.

He stepped on the accelerator and the car sped into the alley. The man behind him saw Zhou Xing Chen suddenly step on the accelerator, and he panicked a little, immediately following suit.

The black Mercedes sped along the road, followed by an unremarkable sedan.

There was silence, except for two cars fighting each other.

Zhou Xing Chen looked in the rearview mirror at the car he was still chasing and smiled. He lowered his gaze, turned around, and entered a deep alley. He then stepped on the gas pedal.

The limousine behind saw Zhou Xing Chen drive into the alley, and it followed him without hesitation. The next second, the man raised his eyes and saw nothing but empty space. There were no black Mercedes-Benz cars, only four walls and a deep alley.

The man bit his lips and slapped the steering wheel furiously.

F * ck, he lost it!

In the quiet alley, Zhou Xing Chen turned a corner and looked in the rearview mirror. He discovered that the annoying little lackey that Ouyang Ye had sent to follow him had already disappeared.

His pair of deep eyes finally brightened up a little. He let out a sigh of relief and was about to walk out from the other alley when he suddenly saw a figure appear at the end of the alley, quickly running towards the end.

Jia'er!

Zhou Xing Chen took a deep breath, disbelief apparent in his eyes. The figure that flashed by was clearly his Jia'er!

It's her!

He bit his lips and turned the steering wheel with all his might, wanting to give chase, but the GPS notification suddenly sounded, Sorry, you're heading in the wrong direction. There's no road ahead.

Zhou Xing Chen frowned as he looked down at the map, and sure enough, it showed a vast ocean. His heart clenched as a hint of unease flashed through his mind. He bit his lips, not giving it any time to think as he opened the car door and ran towards the entrance to the alleyway.

Damn it, could Jia'er be looking to die? He definitely wouldn't allow this to happen!

He jumped out of the car and sprinted straight for the end of the alley in front of him.

No!

He didn't want it. He didn't want Liang Jia to leave him like this. It took a lot of effort for him to find her!

As he walked faster and faster, he only had one thought in his mind. He couldn't let her silently run away again.

CHAPTER 204 - CLIFF

Liang Jia took the map that Mother Chen had given her, and carefully walked forward step by step.

The sky had already gradually darkened. She bit her lips and walked into the deep alleyway.

Just one more step, just one more step.

She seemed to be able to walk out of the manor. She had been walking for a long time, but why was it that the path in front of her was looking more and more wrong? Was the route that Mrs Chen had given her really correct?

But this was indeed the route that she had given him. She shouldn't have lied to him, right?

She clasped her hands together and started to run. What if it was already light after walking through this alley? What if he could escape from here?

However, as soon as she walked out of the alley, she instantly froze in place.

In front of his eyes was an unobstructed black rolling sea. The waves were swept up onto the reef and emitted loud sounds that caused one to despair time and time again, as if they were knocking on Liang Jia's heart.

Liang Jia raised her eyes to look over as her fingers suddenly curled into a ball.

She looked at the endless sea and frowned deeply. What she was standing on was not a beach, not a place to walk comfortably.

In front of her was a cliff that was tens of thousands of feet high in the sky. At the bottom of the cliff, there was unceasingly surging black seawater. And she was standing right in front of the sea, on this cliff that was thousands of feet high in the sky.

She gritted her teeth, not knowing what to do. It seemed that she had indeed been deceived by that Madam Chen.

Jia'er! No! The man's voice suddenly rang out, as if it had experienced the vicissitudes of life and shattered the silent air.

This voice! This voice! The voice is

Liang Jia's heart was beating fiercely. When she turned around, she saw the person she had been thinking about day and night was rushing towards her with an anxious expression.

'It really is him! '

Liang Jia stood on the spot. Suddenly, she let out a puchi sound and cried out of joy.

It really was him. He was here.

Seeing him carefully approach, Liang Jia's expression became anxious. Her eyes were filled with intense unease. Her eyes seemed to have suddenly become misty, blurry, and looked at him through the haze.

Xing Chen!

I'm here! I'm here! Jia'er, don't do anything stupid. I'm here. He stepped forward and looked at her panicked little face, carefully taking her in his arms. God knows, the moment he saw her standing on the cliff, his heart seemed to have lost all its strength, and he stopped beating.

Feeling her trembling in his arms, he tightly embraced her and gently kissed her hair. I'm here, Jia'er. Promise me you won't do anything stupid.

Who wants to do something stupid? Liang Jia stealthily rubbed away that layer of fog on his sleeve. Only then did she somewhat uncontrollably raise her eyes to stare at him. After a long while, she whispered, I'm just standing on the cliff by myself and a little scared.

His body temperature was so warm. She extended her arms and hugged him tightly. Hearing the violent heartbeat coming from his chest, she finally realized that she had truly met him. The person that she was yearning for had finally appeared before her eyes.

Xing Chen, I missed you so much!

Hearing her say that she was afraid, Zhou Xing Chen sighed. He grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her into his embrace, pulling her outside. After a while, he stopped abruptly and looked at Liang Jia's frozen red ankles.

His eyes instantly darkened, and with furrowed brows, he unhappily berated. Why are you wearing so little!? Hurry up and put on your socks! "

At his reminder, Liang Jia lowered her eyes to look at her feet. Seeing her red ankles, she inwardly cursed. She rushed out, afraid that Ouyang Ye would return soon, so she only wore a pair of shoes and came out.

Zhou Xing Chen suddenly crouched down, his eyes a little red. He took off his socks and put them on Liang Jia.

Feeling the cloth rubbing against her skin, Liang Jia felt a warm sensation on her feet. She lowered her gaze to look at Zhou Xing Chen, only to see him squatting down in front of her with a dark expression.

Liang Jia's eyes shifted slightly as she felt the warmth from her ankles. Lowering her head, she smiled faintly, following Zhou Xing Chen's orders to gently wrap her arms around his neck.

She really must be his wife. Otherwise, why would she feel her heart beating so fast at this moment? Why would she be so moved?

Although he had long since found his heart on the Sun Island, he couldn't seem to change it now.

She turned her head to the side, burying her head in Zhou Xing Chen's shoulder. Feeling his hot body temperature, Liang Jia suddenly felt a sense of relief.

However, as Zhou Xing Chen walked down the long alley, he came to a sudden halt.

He suddenly realized that his car was gone!

In just a short moment, his car had already disappeared. With a gloomy face, he suddenly remembered that he didn't pull out the car key because he was in a hurry to chase after Liang Jia.

Obviously, the black Mercedes-Benz was very eye-catching, even on the deserted road.

Noticing Zhou Xing Chen's pause, Liang Jia leaned into his ear and asked, What's wrong?

Zhou Xing Chen's eyes darkened. He put down Liang Jia and gently turned around to embrace her. It's nothing. It's just that the car that just arrived is gone. We need to find another way out.

However, just as he finished speaking, a crowd of people rushed out from all directions, surrounding Zhou Xing Chen and Liang Jia.

A way out? How about I find it for you? "

His voice was gloomy, as if he was holding back his anger.

The man walked out of the dim light with a gloomy face. His handsome face was hidden in the shadows of the trees, looking even more mesmerizing. He held out his hand. A bunch of car keys hung on his slender fingers.

Ouyang Ye pursed his lips and smiled at Liang Jia and Zhou Xing Chen. He beckoned for the other woman to be brought over.

Yu Xue's mouth was stuffed shut, unable to make a sound. She could only allow the two men behind her to tie her wrists. She hissed as if she wanted to say something, but Ouyang Ye seemed unable to see anything. Her eyes were only on Zhou Xing Chen and Liang Jia.

Liang Jia, who was standing in the middle, was obviously shocked when she saw Yu Xue. She never thought that there would actually be such a similar woman in this world! Right now, she was still tied up by Ouyang Ye. She bit her lip, not knowing what Ouyang Ye wanted to do.

Taking Zhou Xing Chen's hand in her own, she looked up at him.

Zhou Xing Chen's eyes were deep, his face expressionless. His eyes were fixated on the man in front of him, as if he were looking through him at a joke.

Surrounding him was the malevolent looking man with the electric shock rod in his hand. Zhou Xing Chen stared at Ouyang Ye with a faint smile on his face.

The surroundings were deathly silent. An atmosphere filled with the smell of gunpowder quietly spread in all directions.

He narrowed his eyes, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called Jin Xuan: Xuan, get someone over here immediately. I'm near Myrtle Hall.

CHAPTER 205 - I DON'T LOVE YOU

But before he could put down the phone, Ouyang Ye's lips curled up into a smile. His lips moved slightly as he said the cruel word.

Let's go.

Immediately, people rushed forward to try and pull Liang Jia back. There were also people who wanted to stab Zhou Xing Chen in the back, to injure him.

Zhou Xing Chen was quick to react, quickly putting Liang Jia in his arms and kicking away that person's saber. Another person rushed up from behind Zhou Xing Chen, and Liang Jia, gritting her teeth, broke free from Zhou Xing Chen's embrace, kicking the electric shock rod out of that person's hands.

Frowning, she suddenly remembered her phone call with the Xia family.

No, Xia Zhiyang hadn't planned on coming to pick her up. It was even possible that the call hadn't been picked up by a member of the Xia family.

She was fooled.

Liang Jia narrowed her eyes and looked at the aggressive men around her. Just as she knocked one of them down, another rushed up.

She bit her lip, wanting to use the electric shock stick she had snatched from the man to attack someone else.

No, there was no hotel here, and no one would come to pick her up. Those few calls, perhaps Xia Zhiyang wouldn't even know about them.

His large hands tightly wrapped around her waist, Zhou Xing Chen's leg shot out to kick off the blade in the man's hand, then he sent a fist flying towards the other man's face.

One after another, seemingly endless numbers of men rushed towards them.

Liang Jia bit her lips. Seeing that Zhou Xing Chen was overwhelmed by the pressure, she couldn't help but scream.

Enough! Liang Jia's voice was somewhat hoarse as she abruptly stopped in Zhou Xing Chen's embrace. Her eyes that were a little red turned to look at Ouyang Ye.

In a short moment, all the people present quieted down because of Liang Jia's shout, and their movements also stopped. The air once again descended into a deathly silence.

Seeing that the surroundings had stopped, Liang Jia's eyes slightly moved.

Today, she wanted to explain everything at once. She didn't want to continue like this.

Enough, Ouyang Ye! Liang Jia's voice had become a bit hoarse from the screams just now. Her voice was a bit soft, but one could still feel the exhaustion in her voice.

She slowly straightened her body as if she was very tired. She used her deep eyes to look at the man shrouded in light and shadow, standing in the darkness.

Seeing that the man was silent, she knew he was listening.

Young Master Ouyang, did I say that? I remember I said that a long time ago. But you don't listen, you don't understand why things have turned out this way.

Her eyes were calm to the point that not a single ripple appeared in them. I said before, I don't love you. Whether I have lost my memories or not, my heart isn't beating because of you.

When I woke up that day and saw you in the hospital, I was grateful and guilty. I had a feeling that I had met my savior. Seeing Ouyang Ye's eyes suddenly light up, she ignored him and turned her head to look at Zhou Xing Chen. It was only in this way that she felt a little better. But this feeling of gratitude is only because you saved me, not because I love you.

The surroundings were very quiet. She could feel the light in Ouyang Ye's eyes fade. This feeling has never changed. It's not love, it's gratitude!

She bit her lip as she stared at the man before her with a complicated look in her eyes. She could feel Zhou Xing Chen's hand gradually close around her waist, and she said in a low voice: I'm grateful to you, but I don't want you to erase this gratitude time and time again.

I don't want to be monitored by you. I don't want to get your permission to do anything. I have my freedom, I have my freedom … She paused for a moment, then looked at Zhou Xing Chen, her eyes filled with tenderness as she spoke to Ouyang Ye, I have my lover's freedom too. The person I like is not you, but him.

Thus, I urge you to give up on me as soon as possible. She held Zhou Xing Chen's hand tightly, interlacing her fingers with his. My heart can no longer be changed. I might just love him alone.

I'm sorry.

The air once again fell into a long silence.

Ouyang Ye's fingers moved slightly. Only when he felt that he still had some strength left did he manage to find his voice.

His eyes turned scarlet, and he wanted to rush forward and grab Liang Jia's shoulder, but it was a pity that Zhou Xing Chen abruptly pulled Liang Jia away, avoiding Ouyang Ye's powerful hands.

This move infuriated Ouyang Ye even more. His eyes looked coldly at the man and woman who were holding hands in front of him.

A pair of slender fingers were tightly clasped together, and that fingernail seemed about to be caught in his flesh. He suddenly revealed a smile and walked toward Liang Jia, No, it's not like that. Jia Jia Jia Yue, you love me, right?

Seeing that Ouyang Ye was getting closer and closer, Liang Jia pursed her lips and slowly stepped back.

Ouyang Ye was already acting a bit abnormal.

If they angered him again, he didn't know what would happen.

Right now, all she and Zhou Xing Chen could do was wait for help. However, the Ouyang Ye before them was getting closer and closer, as if he wanted to force them up the cliff.

Don't come back, give me up. Liang Jia's face froze, and the unquestionable look in his eyes made Ouyang Ye fall into despair.

Fine, fine, if you want me to give up on you, I won't let you go!

Ouyang Ye laughed suddenly. His eyes seemed to be engulfed in darkness. He made a gesture with his hand and snorted coldly.

Following his order, the men behind him all began to move.

Liang Jia gritted her teeth, focusing all of her attention on the men who wanted to rush up to her, pulling Zhou Xing Chen back step by step.

They were getting closer and closer to the cliff.

Step by step.

Someone wanted to grab her hand, but Zhou Xing Chen frowned and kicked away the person holding Liang Jia's hand. Yet another group of people rushed forward.

Zhou Xing Chen frowned, tightly hugging Liang Jia to his chest so that others wouldn't have a chance to get close to them.

He reached out and kicked the man's knife again.

His eyes were deep, like the dark sea behind them.

The sky began to darken and the alley became darker. The only sound that could be heard was the crashing of the waves against the reef.

There were rocks of all sizes in the alley. If it was dark and he couldn't see the road in front of him, he could basically fall off the cliff if he staggered for a bit.

The noisy men who had wanted to separate them all became hesitant.

The sound of voices gradually died down, leaving only the rustling of the wind and the sound of the waves.

Ouyang Ye stood at the very front. His lips curled up as he walked step by step to a few meters away from them. He said lightly, Jia Yue, I will give you one more chance to return to my side.

CHAPTER 206 - I'M GOING TO SAVE HIM

I'm going to save him

His voice was bewitching, as if
