He stood by the door and listened to the desperate cries of agony and misery from Jiang Xinlei who was being tortured.
He thought to himself, this lass seems to be completely unsympathetic. Not only did she not give the girl some help, she seemed to be gloating too. In fact, it seems like she had already expected this to happen, right from the start, and was in control of how things were going to turn out. This was probably all set up by her !
Luo Zheng seemed to be way too scheming to be an underage girl.
Bo Hancheng did not wish to make assumptions but he was absolutely disgusted by how vicious she was as to use such methods to ruin someone.
He stared at Luo Zheng coldly and aloofly, so much that he did not realize how austere he looked.
Still smiling and revealing her dimples, Luo Zheng asked, “Vicious? Is that a compliment, Brother?”
“If you’re too vicious, you’ll just end up harming yourself instead.”
Bo Hancheng said his last sentence after a long time.
Since we are just strangers who will never meet again, that is the only advice I can give her!
Luo Zheng’s smile stiffened and she asked coldly, “Is that so?”
Will I end up harming myself instead?
I used to be too silly and never thought of harming anyone. Yet, what happened in the end?
They were the ones who lied to me, ruined me and tried to push me to hell... Now, I am going to pick myself up after my rebirth and change my destiny!
Staring at the man in front of her, Luo Zheng cocked her head sideways and stroked her chin nonchalantly. “You can’t just look at things from the surface! Take yourself as an example. You’re wearing a mask now so no one knows if you’re handsome or ugly beneath that mask. Wouldn’t it be unfair if they were to judge you by making assumptions about your appearance?”
In her previous lifetime, she had it worse than Jiang Xinlei!
She felt that Jiang Xinlei was just receiving her retribution, even though she did not see the need to explain those things to him.
At this moment, she heard a shriek of terror coming from the room. “Ah! What are you doing? Go away... ”
She could guess that Wuzi was probably trying to get intimate with her after seeing her naked body, even though he initially only wanted to molest her. He probably could not hold himself back!
“Ah! What do we do now? Not everyone can control their sexual desires as well as you can, Brother! How pitiful. She’s going to be raped soon! Brother, are you going to save the damsel in distress?”
Luo Zheng raised her brows and grinned, clearly not at all bothered by what was going on.
In reality, Bo Hancheng did not like being nosy. However, Luo Zheng’s heartlessness tugged at his heartstrings and made him panic.
Besides, he could not bring himself to leave an underage girl in the lurch and allow her to get raped!
Bo Hancheng looked at Luo Zheng and strode towards her before stopping at the door.
Having already expected it from the start, Luo Zheng did not stop him and instead waved before saying, “Pretty brother, you may go ahead and save the damsel in distress. I’ll be taking my leave! Bye!”
She then turned around and left while humming an unknown tune.
As soon as she took a few steps forward, Luo Zheng stopped in front of the door and looked to see that Bo Hancheng had already entered.
A certain memory flashed through her mind all of a sudden.
Was he in the room next door while I was waiting in that room for Xi Mubai in my previous lifetime? In that case, does he know that I got bullied?
I remember fainting out of shock, after getting molested by Mu Sen and his underlings.
When she woke up again, she realized that she was in a hospital and connected to a drip bag, while clad in a man’s windbreaker!
The nurse informed her that she had been sent to the hospital by a man who left after making arrangements... Back then, she was in despair and was not in the mood to find him and thank him.
She reckoned that Bo Hancheng must have been the one!
Intending to express her gratitude from the previous lifetime, Luo Zheng said in a mellow voice, “Brother, if it was really you, thanks!”
She then left resolutely.
