Chapter 2354: Chapter 158: She Hesitated to Speak, But He Turned Away…
Momo was startled by the man’s intense anger right in front of her.
Previously, she thought Ye Zhan, when dressed in plain clothes, was like a refined and handsome young noble.
In her impression, he was somewhat indifferent, aloof.
She had never seen him so furious before.
Even though he saved her twice, when confronting a scoundrel like Chu Bin, he was just disdainful and mocking.
But now his face was dark, as if he was holding back a raging storm of anger.
She instinctively stretched out her tongue to lick her dry lips.
Although she didn’t feel like she was at fault just now, she still awkwardly said, “Sorry, I affected your arresting of the criminals.”
“…”
Ye Zhan felt his breath stuck in his chest.
Unable to go up or down.
He tightened his jaw while staring at her, secretly pacifying the anger boiling inside and the irritating emotions.
“Boss…”
Someone called Ye Zhan.
His hand grasping her arm finally loosened.
Momo’s furrowed brow slowly relaxed as his hand let go.
Yuanfeng and Yuanshan had arrived at some point, along with Qin Qingqing, coming before Momo.
Concernedly asking her if she was injured.
Ye Zhan glanced at Shi Dongliang, who had fallen to the ground, bleeding continuously, and said to Qin Qingqing, “Qingqing, I’ll have someone take you back first.”
“It was just an accident earlier, now that Shi Dongliang is like this, there probably won’t be any more incidents, you do your work, don’t mind us.”
Qin Qingqing blinked, recalling his earlier scolding of Momo.
She tactfully declined his arrangements.
As she finished speaking, Yuanshan said beside her, “Miss Qingqing, we just informed Young Master Yi, and he is on his way now.”
Upon hearing Mo Ziye knew they were taken hostage, Qin Qingqing stopped worrying about Ye Zhan.
Immediately reached for her phone, saying, “I’ll call Brother Ziyi, and tell him we’re okay.”
Ye Zhan truly was very busy, Shi Dongliang was injured, he needed to send him to the hospital, and those who were dead needed handling.
After ordering his subordinates, he turned his head to look at Momo.
Coincidentally.
Momo was also looking at him.
The two pairs of eyes met in the air.
Unknowingly, it struck a chord deep within.
Momo quickly diverted her gaze.
Her heart suddenly felt chaotic.
An inexplicable emotion trapped her, she hesitated whether to say something, but Ye Zhan had already turned around.
…
Momo retracted her gaze, watching Qin Qingqing on the phone.
On the other end, Mo Ziye said he would be there soon.
Qin Qingqing softly reassured him, “Brother Ziyi, don’t worry, Sister Momo and I are fine, really, we’re unharmed.”
“Glad to hear that, wait for me there, I’ll be there shortly.”
Mo Ziye’s voice was slightly unsettled.
Only God knows how worried he was when Yuanshan just told him that Qingqing and his sister were taken hostage by Shi Dongliang.
Shi Dongliang’s nature was something he wasn’t clear about before.
But ever since he secretly investigated the Shi Family, looking into Shi Dongping and him, he’s been well aware.
Qin Qingqing didn’t tell Mo Ziye the details of their escape.
Only said, it was Ye Zhan who saved them.
Mo Ziye hadn’t seen them in person yet, confirmed over the phone that they were truly safe, which felt like an immense relief, temporarily not probing the details.
“Okay, Brother Ziyi, ask the driver to slow down, Sister Momo and I are waiting for you here.”
Hanging up the phone, Qin Qingqing exhaled deeply.
But immediately, her slender brows furrowed tightly again.
“Sister Momo, Brother Ziyi asks us to wait for him here.”
“Alright.”
“Wait for me a bit.”
Qin Qingqing said that and quickly paced to Ye Zhan’s cold, stern face, softly saying, “Ye Zhan, I have a favor to ask.”
Ye Zhan looked at her with a cold gaze, not speaking.
Qin Qingqing felt his cold gaze bore a mountainous pressure coming towards her.
She instinctively straightened up, pulled up a flattering smile, “If Brother Ziyi asks how you saved us later, don’t be too detailed.”
“Where did your courage from earlier go?”
Ye Zhan mockingly asked.
Qin Qingqing heard that, and her smile directly turned into displeasure, “If we weren’t afraid you’d really hurt yourself, Sister Momo and I wouldn’t have done that.”
“An arm and two lives calculated, you explain to Mo Ziye yourself, don’t ask for my help, I won’t help you guys cover it up.”
Ye Zhan this bastard!
Qin Qingqing didn’t dare to curse openly.
But in her heart, she dared.
He was unwilling to help, she had no choice.
Had to sulkily turn and leave.
A few steps away, Momo saw Qin Qingqing hanging her little head, knowing what she worried about.
Involuntarily headed in Ye Zhan’s direction.
The man was turned away from them, couldn’t see his cold face, yet it felt like the surrounding temperature was piercingly cold.
Momo lightly patted Qin Qingqing’s hand, gently comforting her, “Don’t worry, if Ziye scolds you, I’ll help you.”
As she said that, she instructed Yuanshan and Yuanfeng, “You mustn’t say ridiculous things to Ziye.”
Yuanshan and Yuanfeng both agreed promptly.
Momo’s face showed a hint of a smile, pulling Qingqing along, “My legs feel a bit shaky, let’s wait for Ziye in the car.”
“Sister Momo, I thought you were braver than me.”
Qin Qingqing widened her eyes in surprise, smiling amidst her brows.
Before Momo could reply, she also laughed, “Actually my legs are shakier, I thought we were doomed earlier, thinking if I never see Brother Ziyi again, I’d die with regrets.”
“Grow up a bit! Where’s your readiness for death from earlier? What potion did Ziye give you to make you regret even death?”
Momo laughed teasingly.
Qin Qingqing pouted, “I feel I’m quite spineless, but I love Brother Ziyi, naturally I can’t bear to part with him. Sister Momo, when you fall in love with a man someday, you’ll be as spineless as me, like you’ve lost your mind.”
Momo’s gaze slightly flickered, softly saying, “Who knows what the future holds, love is something that is encountered, not sought, and not everyone finds it.”
If she falls for the wrong person, she’d rather not love.
“Of course everyone will find it, it’s just a matter of time, maybe your true love is speeding your way.”
The two continued talking as they arrived at the car, Yuanshan opened the car door for them.
After waiting in the car for a few minutes, Mo Ziye arrived.
Even from a distance, joy sparkled in Qin Qingqing’s eyes, excitedly telling Momo, “Sister Momo, Brother Ziyi is here.”
“Hmm, you go find him, I won’t be a third wheel.”
“Actually, an extra third wheel doesn’t matter, but if you don’t want to go out, just wait for me in the car.”
As Qin Qingqing finished speaking, Mo Ziye’s car had arrived nearby.
She opened the car door to get out.
As soon as Mo Ziye got out of the car, a soft figure was thrown into his embrace.
Her arms tightly embraced him, all the strength crumbled when the familiar male scent entered through her nose, tears poured out as she cried out, “Brother Ziyi, I thought I’d never see you again.”
