Chapter 260: Chapter 260: I Won’t Die

The emergency exit was dimly lit, and Su Zixi could barely make out He Ziyi turning back to give her a smile.

In her understanding, this must have been a very interesting game.

With a wry smile, Su Zixi managed to press Liu Minjun’s number, and fortunately, Liu Minjun picked up quickly, uttering a “hello”.

“Auntie, Ziyi has been…” Su Zixi had only spoken three words when she suddenly felt an intense pain at the back of her neck.

The phone slipped from her hand and tumbled down the stairs.

Su Zixi’s legs gave way, and she knelt to the ground, but she didn’t lose consciousness immediately, as she could still faintly hear Liu Minjun’s anxious calls…

…

Liu Minjun had picked up Su Zixi’s call, but after hearing just a few words, the line went dead, and a bad feeling surged within her.

She quickly said goodbye to her acquaintances and headed to the end of the art exhibition but found no one.

An accident had occurred!

These words flashed through her mind, and she was consumed by a sense of powerlessness. Since the exhibition was private and not crowded, she hadn’t brought any bodyguards with He Ziyi and Su Zixi, never anticipating such an incident!

The last time she took Su Zixi out shopping, she had been taken away in broad daylight, and this time, not just her, but also Ziyi…

At this thought, even Liu Minjun could not remain calm. She trembled as she called the head bodyguard and asked him to contact the organizers of the exhibition, then dialed He Jingyao’s number.

Hopefully, it was just a false alarm…

At the same moment, He Jingyao had just finished a board meeting.

Back in his office, he suddenly remembered his date that evening, and couldn’t help but call Mr. Li.

“Do I need to prepare flowers?”

Mr. Li chuckled, “Young Master, rest assured, I’ll have these preparations made for you.”

“It’s me giving them, not you,” He Jingyao huffed, “You don’t need to prepare, I will do it myself.”

“Alright, I’ll just contact the florist, and you can personally select the appropriate flowers later,” Mr. Li readily agreed.

He Jingyao paused, then said in a cold voice, “Mr. Li, are you muttering something under your breath?”

“Not at all,” asserted Mr. Li in a very serious tone, “I am simply moved by your sincerity, Young Master.”

He Jingyao coldly hung up.

However, imagining Su Zixi’s reaction to the flowers… Well, indulging in such sentimentality once in a while is not so bad.

He curled the corners of his mouth.

Just then, the phone rang again. It was Liu Minjun.

He raised an eyebrow and answered, but soon, his expression darkened!

Su Zixi was awakened by wailing.

It seemed like someone was shaking her shoulders forcefully.

Struggling to open her eyes, Su Zixi saw He Ziyi’s tear-reddened little face.

Her head was throbbing with pain. She reached up to rub it and spoke up with a hoarse voice, “Ziyi.”

He Ziyi nodded while crying, “Not leaving, not dying.”

Su Zixi’s mind froze for a few seconds before vaguely understanding what she meant.

She couldn’t help but smile, hugged her, and said, “Yes, I’m not going to die.”

“Not leaving,” she repeated through tears.

“Alright, alright, I’m not leaving,” Su Zixi soothed her.

He Ziyi was still shaking her head, “I… not leaving.”

“Yes, Ziyi is also not leaving,” Su Zixi slowly caught on to her train of thought, “We’ll leave together.”

She continued to shake her head.

Su Zixi thought for a moment and then suddenly realized, “Ziyi, are you saying that you shouldn’t have gone with Xia Xinyu?”
