Chapter 1720

Before long, the two of them arrived at a parking lot not far from the detention center.

Lu Xuening walked to a red sedan, opened the door, and sat in the driver’s seat.

Baili Xia hesitated for a moment but eventually opened the rear door and got in.

Upon entering the car, a chokingly strong perfume scent assaulted her senses.

Unconsciously, she raised her hand to cover her nose; the perfume was truly overpowering.

With a thought, she immediately tried to push the door open to get out.

Suddenly, there was a click, and the car door was locked by Lu Xuening!

Lu Xuening looked at Baili Xia in the rearview mirror, her lips curling into an almost imperceptible smile.

She started the car, stepped on the gas pedal, and quickly sped away from the parking lot along the road.

“Where are we going?” Baili Xia asked from the back seat, feeling a twinge of unease.

“Of course, we’re going to a place where we can get the evidence. We’ll be there in a few minutes, you’ll know soon enough.”

Lu Xuening replied blandly.

Baili Xia covered her nose with her hand, trying her best not to inhale the perfume’s scent.

Assuming the perfume was problematic, she even held her bracelet, ready to deal with Lu Xuening at any moment.

But unexpectedly, despite the strong scent, she didn’t feel any different.

“Being so cautious doesn’t suit you at all.”

Lu Xuening glanced at her again in the rearview mirror, the smile on her lips deepening.

“If you’re worried the perfume is problematic, feel free to open the window, I haven’t locked it.”

Without any hesitation, Baili Xia immediately opened the window.

The window opened, a cold wind blew in, and only then did she remove her hand from her nose, breathing easily.

“So afraid of dying, yet you dared to get in the car with me?”

Lu Xuening sneered and continued driving seriously.

Baili Xia ignored her; she wasn’t afraid of dying now, that’s why she dared to get in the car with her.

But she wouldn’t rest until she saw the person behind her.

The car drove on for a few minutes, not leaving the bustling city center.

Baili Xia gradually relaxed, yet her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

What’s happening?

Why am I getting more and more sleepy?

The windows were open, and the perfume’s scent in the air had long since faded.

Why is this still happening?

She quickly shook her head, trying to clear her mind.

But the drowsiness came on so suddenly and overwhelmingly that she couldn’t resist it.

Could it be that she accidentally fell into Lu Xuening’s trap again?

She hurriedly grabbed the handle of the backseat door, trying to open it.

But the door was already locked and wouldn’t open.

Her strength seemed to be draining away, her body growing heavier and heavier.

Her fingers fell on the bracelet, but before her eyes, Lu Xuening’s figure multiplied into two, three…

She couldn’t see clearly, couldn’t even muster the strength to lift her eyelids…

Beside her, Lu Xuening’s laughter seemed to echo, tugging at her heart.

“Knowing I’d harm you, and you still dared to get in my car.”

“Living so aimlessly, aren’t you?

Don’t worry, if you want to die, I’ll make sure it happens.”

“And I’ll definitely drag Mu Xiaojiu with me, the one who left me with nothing…”

The voice grew farther and farther away.

Finally, Baili Xia collapsed onto the backseat, drifting off into sleep.

Through the rearview mirror, Lu Xuening glanced at her, a venomous gleam in her eyes.

It was all because of Mu Xiaojiu.

Back then, it was Mu Xiaojiu who made it impossible for her to stay with the Dongfang Family.

If it weren’t for Mu Xiaojiu, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.

All of this was Mu Xiaojiu’s doing!

How could she ever let him go!
