Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 92 She's not the obedient little white rabbit you like.

Half an hour ago, Chi Yan received an anonymous message containing only a photo, without any text.

The girl slumped inside the car, her messy hair obscuring half of her face.

Chi Yan dialed the number immediately, and as expected, a cold, mechanical female voice said, "Hello, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable."

Although there was no black tape over her mouth and she wasn't bound by ropes, it was clear she had been kidnapped.

The anonymous number was encrypted with multiple layers, making it impossible to dial or immediately crack. After handing the number over to professional codebreakers, Chi Yan carefully searched for clues in the photos.

They quickly identified the car's brand and model based on the style of the back seat, accessed city-wide traffic surveillance footage, and soon pinpointed the car's route.

The surveillance footage shows the car disappearing near a construction site, but there are no surveillance cameras at that site.

Chi Yan rushed to the construction site at top speed and almost collided with a motorcycle.

Three thugs with flamboyant, unconventional hairstyles were huddled together on the motorcycle, their faces bruised and swollen, as if they were being chased by a raging flood or wild beast, fleeing for their lives.

Chi Yan felt that the three men were acting strangely and ordered his men to seize them.

While his men were chasing the thugs, he arrived at the construction site.

During the thirty minutes he couldn't get through to Shi Sui on the phone, he frantically used all his connections and means, praying in his heart that he would give his life for her safety.

But instead, he saw his best friend embracing the girl he loved.

My heart sank.

"Pei Shuoxun, what are you doing!" His voice was terrifyingly low.

Then they saw Pei Shuoxun quickly kiss the girl on the cheek and whisper something in her ear, his actions extremely ambiguous.

Veins bulged on Chi Yan's forehead; his anger was so intense it could detonate the Earth.

He rushed over as fast as he could, reaching out to grab Pei Shuoxun and beat him up, but someone was faster than him—

Shi Sui is not stupid.

She had learned her lesson from being kissed unexpectedly last night and forgetting to retaliate. This time, when the boy's lips touched her cheek, she launched a swift counterattack.

"boom!"

Shi Sui punched Pei Shuoxun, but out of consideration for their friendship, she didn't hit him hard. She managed to break free from his embrace, took a step back, and created some distance between them.

Pei Shuoxun licked his chapped lips. Even though they were raw from being touched so much, he felt as if he had been scratched by a kitten's paw, his heart was slightly itchy, and he even smiled insatiably.

Shi Sui thought he was crazy.

He was clearly beaten up by her, so what was he laughing about and feeling so good about?

Just as Shi Sui was about to ask him what was wrong, the next second, someone else appeared between them—Chi Yan.

He naturally and gently pulled Shi Sui behind him.

Chi Yan leaned down to look at her. There were specks of blood on the girl's fair cheeks, a bruise on her forehead, and a lot of blood on her body, which looked shocking against her light-colored clothes.

Her eyes were slightly red, and her slender figure looked like it was about to break; she was pitiful and helpless.

Chi Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he panicked: "Shi Sui, what happened to you? Why is there so much blood?"

"It's okay, it's not my blood," Shi Sui said nonchalantly.

She spoke lightly, but to Chi Yan it sounded as fragile and stubborn.

Chi Yan wiped the blood off her face with his fingertips, but Shi Sui turned her head away, saying, "Just wash your face when you get back."

How fragile yet so stubborn.

Seeing that she was alright, Chi Yan's heart finally sank, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Pei Shuoxun, whose dark peach blossom eyes revealed unrestrained desire as he stared at Shi Sui.

"Pei Shuoxun, what the hell do you mean?!"

Perhaps there was a misunderstanding just now. Chi Yan originally wanted to speak to him politely, but any man would understand what Pei Shuoxun meant by his eyes!

Damn it! Pei Shuoxun kissed his Shi Sui! He's trying to steal her away!

Chi Yan's eyes flashed sharply: "I fucking treat you like a brother, are you trying to steal my man?!"

Pei Shuoxun then shifted his gaze from Shi Sui to Chi Yan, calmly looked at him for a moment, and smiled, "Since when did Shi Sui become your woman?"

This statement is tantamount to admitting that they are trying to poach people.

A deathly silence fell over the air, and an undercurrent of tension surged between them.

Shi Sui: "?"

She wanted to say that she was an independent individual and did not belong to anyone, but after keenly sensing the danger and murderous intent, she felt that it was best to remain hidden. What if she opened her mouth and the hostility turned against her?

They say villains die from talking too much, so this vicious female supporting character would be better off shutting up and getting lost.

Knowing she was safe, Shi Sui took a step back. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the 'corpse' on the construction site was showing signs of waking up. So, she didn't hesitate and picked up a brick from the ground to smash the 'corpse' on the head.

It's like playing whack-a-mole; if a mole peeks out, you immediately whack it back.

On the other side, the two were still locked in a standoff.

Chi Yan's aura was terrifyingly oppressive. His gaze, filled with hostility, lingered on Pei Shuoxun's face for two seconds: "Pei Shuoxun, are you crazy? You don't like Shi Sui, what the hell are you trying to do!"

Pei Shuoxun no longer needed to wear a mask of pretense; his peach blossom eyes naturally held a smile as he asked, "How do you know I don't like Shi Sui?"

Chi Yan paused for a second.

He had always thought that Pei Shuoxun disliked Shi Sui, saying that she was only after his money and that he should not fall in love with her.

The image of bumping into Pei Shuoxun and Shi Sui together at the aquarium instantly flashed into my mind.

At that time, Pei Shuoxun's eyes clearly did not show any dislike.

Do you like it?

Chi Yan couldn't understand why Pei Shuoxun would like Shi Sui. He clearly looked down on her the most!

"Pei Shuoxun, what the hell makes you like Shi Sui!" Chi Yan grabbed his collar with one hand, his knuckles turning cold as he exerted force.

Pei Shuoxun smiled slightly: "Chi Yan, then why do you like Shi Sui? Look closely, she is not the obedient little white rabbit you like at all."

His gaze fell on Shi Sui, who was squatting on the ground smashing someone's head.

Chi Yan turned her head and looked over as well.

The sun shone down without obstruction, and the dust kicked up around the girl reflected glimmers of light. Holding a brick in one hand, she swiftly and decisively knocked out a head that was just about to pop up.

A smile graced the girl's face.

It sounded like excitement, and also a bit smug.

In her other hand she held a blood-stained steel bar.

Chi Yan suddenly remembered what Shi Sui had just said: the blood on her body was not hers.

Whose blood is that?

The answer is ready to come out.

"Those people lying on the ground, half-covered in blood and badly injured, were all beaten by her." Pei Shuoxun asked him, "Chi Yan, do you still like her?"

Chi Yan lowered his eyes and remained silent for two seconds.

In just two seconds, he recalled all the moments he had spent with Shi Sui.

Finally, he looked up, suddenly smiled, his eyes clear and bright: "I like it, I like it even more now."

The next second, Chi Yan's eyes turned gloomy: "And you, Pei Shuoxun, what makes you like her? Just playing around? She's not someone you can play around with!"
