In the taxi, Mu Ning Jing listened to Hu Xin'er's sobbing over the phone. From the tone of her voice, she could feel how desperate she was.
Mu Ning Jing had always known that Shen Tingxi was different from Huo Yanqing. She could vaguely guess what kind of business he did. That time, when she went to see a villa in the suburbs with Shen Tingxi, they were surrounded by a group of people. The other party used a knife, but Shen Tingxi wasn't afraid at all. In fact, he was ruthless and accurate.
At that time, Mu Ning Jing knew that Shen Tingxi wasn't a simple person.
But, Shen Tingxi had always been gentle in front of her. Even when he teased her and made her laugh, she felt that he was as childish as a child. She never dared to imagine that Shen Tingxi would be involved with murder.
But, Hu Xin'er's reaction over the phone clearly told her that it was true.
Even if Hu Xin'er wanted to destroy Shen Tingxi's family, he shouldn't have used such an extreme method to solve the problem.
Moreover, murder was against the law, so Shen Tingxi would have to go to jail.
No, she didn't want him to go to jail.
Mu Ning Jing suppressed the anxiety in her heart and said to Hu Xin'er, "Pass the phone to Shen Tingxi."
"No... I don't dare... He will kill me..."
When Mu Ning Jing heard the word 'kill,' her heart went cold. But, she felt that Shen Tingxi wasn't the kind of person who would kill without batting an eyelid. She wanted to try and persuade him. She didn't want him to go down the wrong path. "I will try my best to persuade him."
"What if he doesn't listen to you?"
Mu Ning Jing wasn't confident in her relationship with Shen Tingxi. She wasn't sure that Shen Tingxi would listen to her, so she didn't know how to answer Hu Xin'er's question.
When it came to a matter of life and death, she couldn't make any promises.
Mu Ning Jing remained silent. On the other end of the phone, Hu Xin'er cried and said, "Only you can save me... I beg you, you have to save me... I believe you... If I die... you will be his accomplice..."
Mu Ning Jing was speechless.
"I'm coming out now … Don't hang up …"
Mu Ning Jing said, "Okay."
Hu Xiner wiped her tears and crawled out of the closet. She gripped her phone tightly and took a deep breath. Swallowing the fear in her heart, she walked out of the walk-in closet and came to the bedroom door. "Tingxi, your girlfriend wants to talk to you."
Outside, Shen Tingxi stopped smoking and frowned. His handsome face was so gloomy that it could drip water. Hu Xiner dared to inform Ningning?
He never wanted Mu Ning Jing to know about his dark side. She was so innocent and kind. She had suffered so much in the past. She should be pampered by him and live happily under the sun without any worries.
Shen Tingxi really wanted to strangle Hu Xin'er now, but he was afraid that the noise would scare Mu Ning Jing, who was on the other end of the phone. He threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground and stamped it out with his foot.
Frowning, he said, "Open the door and give me the phone."
Hu Xin'er didn't dare to open the door. She turned the phone to the loudest volume and put it on speaker. Then, she pressed the phone against the crack of the door. "Miss Mu, if you have anything to say, just say it. Tingxi can hear you."
"Tingxi." Mu Ning Jing's gentle voice came from the phone.
Shen Tingxi's handsome face was completely dark outside the door. F * ck, she actually wanted him to talk to his Ningning through the crack of the door. Even if Hu Xin'er died ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to appease his anger.
Suppressing his anger, Shen Tingxi lowered his head and pressed his face against the door. "Ningning, what's wrong?"
His voice was gentle and there was no trace of hostility or coldness.
Inside the door, Hu Xin'er heard Shen Tingxi's tone and instantly breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that she had found the right person this time. She felt that the grim reaper was leaving her and that she could see the light of hope in life again.
"I woke up and couldn't see you. I'm scared. Can you come over and keep me company?"
It was the first time Shen Tingxi had been so relied on by Ningning. The corners of his mouth curled up in a faint smile. The murderous intent in his eyes had long faded and there was no trace of gloominess or hostility on his face. There was only happiness and sweetness. "Okay, don't be afraid. I'll come over in a while."
"Can't you come over right away?"
"Okay, I'll come over right away. Be good and don't be afraid." Shen Tingxi coaxed softly.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Shen Tingxi waited for a few seconds but didn't hear the beeping sound of the phone being hung up. He knew that Mu Ning Jing hadn't hung up yet. He didn't dare to say anything too harsh to Hu Xin'er for fear of scaring Mu Ning Jing. In the end, after thinking about it, he just knocked on the door twice and turned to leave.
Hu Xin 'er heard the sound of footsteps gradually fading away, and her entire body collapsed to the ground. The joy of surviving a disaster made her face fill with tears. She said into the phone, "He's gone … Thank you … Thank you so much …"
On the other end, Mu Ning Jing was silent for two seconds and hung up the phone. She said to the driver, "Sir, please turn around and go back."
On the way back, Mu Ning Jing kept looking out of the window in a daze. She had prepared a lot of words to persuade Shen Tingxi. She even thought about it. If Shen Tingxi didn't stop, she would threaten him with breaking up. No matter what, she couldn't let him go astray.
However, Mu Ning Jing didn't expect that all of that would be useless. Shen Tingxi was actually so easy to persuade and settled it with just a few words.
Did this mean that she was very important in his heart?
Mu Ning Jing quickly rejected this idea. It probably wasn't as serious as Hu Xin'er said. Shen Tingxi hadn't even entered the house yet. Hu Xin'er was probably just scaring herself. Or maybe she misunderstood Shen Tingxi's intentions. Was he just looking for her for something?
No matter what, Mu Ning Jing couldn't believe that she was important enough in Shen Tingxi's heart for him to listen to her every word.
...
On the way to Yi Xin Community, Shen Tingxi asked the people who were secretly protecting Mu Ning Jing. They said that Mu Ning Jing left in a hurry and headed in the direction of Hu Xin'er's house. She had just returned.
Shen Tingxi regretted that he shouldn't have talked to Hu Xin'er. He should have just killed her.
All of the coldness and hostility in his body disappeared in front of Mu Ning Jing's house. Shen Tingxi pressed the doorbell.
Mu Ning Jing opened the door and saw a tall man with a gentle expression at the door. She increasingly felt that Hu Xin'er must have been exaggerating on the phone. How could such a Shen Tingxi kill someone?
However, there were some things she wanted to know, so she took the initiative to hold Shen Tingxi's hand and pulled him into the house.
Shen Tingxi saw that Mu Ning Jing was taking the initiative, and a smile slowly appeared in his deep eyes. He followed her into the house.
Mu Ning Jing pulled Shen Tingxi to sit down on the sofa. She sat facing him slightly and looked at him quietly. "Can I ask you some questions?"
Shen Tingxi gently rubbed the back of Mu Ning Jing's hand with his thumb. "Go ahead."
Mu Ning Jing lowered her eyes and her gaze fell on their hands that were holding each other. She pulled her hand back.
Shen Tingxi held her hand tightly and didn't want to let go. "I won't do anything to you. I'll just hold your hand. Can't I?"
Mu Ning Jing pursed her lips and didn't move again. "Hu Xin'er called me tonight. She said..." Mu Ning Jing paused and looked up at Shen Tingxi. "Is it true that you want to kill her?"
