"It was me." Until he heard Xiao Jin's voice, Luo Ningxi's heart, which had been tense like a tightly drawn string, finally relaxed. His cold voice carried a hint of after-the-storm joy, "I'm fine."

"Where are you now? Are you safe? Are you hurt? I'll send someone to pick you up immediately!" Xiao Jin was so excited that he couldn't control himself. Even though he was usually calm and rational, he sounded a bit incoherent.

"I'm on my way back to the apartment." Loning Xi clutched her phone tightly, her excitement mirroring his. Xiao Jin was her most trusted subordinate; contacting him inevitably brought a sense of security.

"I'll be right there!"

"There are too many people on the street, I'm going back to the apartment directly. When you come over, please bring me some food, I'm starving."

"Okay, I'll be there right away, very soon!"

After hanging up the phone, Luo Ningxi returned her mobile phone to the driver and turned her head to look at the increasingly familiar scenery outside the window.

This is the road back to the apartment...

"Lu Ningxi placed her hand on her small abdomen, "Baby, see? This is our home."

About half an hour later, Luo Ningxi returned to the Jinshan apartment.

Xiao Jin's car was parked at the entrance of the apartment building. From outside, the lights in the windows were still on.

It's strange, she didn't give Xiao Jin the key herself. Could it be that after she was taken away by Li Bochen, Su Qiao gave it to him?

Luningxi seemed to smell the delicious aroma wafting out, and couldn't wait to open the door.

But the moment the door opened, he froze in place!

Li Bichen crossed his long legs, sitting on the sofa in the living room. In front of him were hot dishes ready to eat. His deep and handsome face, under the warm light, was calm yet dangerous, as he quietly stared at the doorway. In an instant, he met Luo Ningxi's gaze!

Luo Ningxi's face turned pale instantly, and her whole body suddenly plunged into an ice cave!

Li Bochen...

How could it be him?

He removed the drug's effects so quickly, and even came back to the imperial capital?!

She almost trembled as she spoke, "You... how could it be you? Where's Xiao Jin?!"

Li Bochen curled his thin lips, his cold and indifferent eyes hidden with anger, slowly devouring Luo Ningxi.

The atmosphere remained stagnant for an unknown amount of time.

A man's voice, deep and resonant, broke the silence. "Luo Ningxi, the game is over. You can't escape."

"What did you do to Xiao Jin?" Luo Ningxi's spirit instantly tightened.

She had just relaxed her guard when she saw Xiao Jin's car, but now where was he!

"That's wonderful, you drugged me and escaped while I was unconscious. When we met, you immediately asked about Xiao Jin how he was doing. Why didn't you ask me how I was?"

Li Bochen's low voice came like a devil's whisper, chilling everyone to the bone. "Do you know what the doctor said? That kind of mandala can damage brain nerves, and the dosage is difficult to control. How come you don't care about my life or death?"

"What does your life and death have to do with me?" Luo Ningxi stubbornly furrowed her brow, clenching her sleeve tightly and angrily retorted.

"Hmph, what does Xiao Jin's life and death have to do with me? Why are you questioning me?" Li Bochen said, looking at the bodyguard beside him.

The bodyguards understood, immediately dragged Xiao Jin, who was tied up with five flowers, out of the side room and slammed him to the ground!

"Mmm..."

His mouth was stuffed, and he stared anxiously at Luo Ningxi, but could only whimper pathetically. He struggled desperately, but to no avail.

"Xiao Jin!" Luo Ningxi only felt her breath catch, her face turning pale with nervousness as she glared at the man and shouted, "Xiao Jin is innocent in this matter! Whatever you have to say, come at me!"

"Well, what's up?"

Li Bochen let out a cold snort, got up and strode towards Luo Ningxi.

A suffocating pressure forced Lonin Xi to retreat continuously.

An unprecedented despair spread throughout her limbs, nearly driving her to the brink of collapse!

Lu Ningxi's eyes were bloodshot. She drew a small knife she had been hiding in her sleeve and without hesitation, held it to her own neck!

"Stay back! I warn you, release Xiao Jin immediately, or I and my child will die in front of you!"

Unlike before, this time it's not pretending to be crazy.

This time, her eyes were incredibly determined and cold. The small knife against her delicate neck quickly cut through the skin, creating a clear bloodstain!

Li Bochen stopped in his tracks, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth angrily, "You're really something else! You drugged me before, and now you're using yourself and the child to threaten me again. Do you really think I wouldn't dare touch you?"

"Cut the crap, either let go of Xiao Jin and disappear in front of me! Or I'll die, you choose!"

Lu Ningxi couldn't care about anything else; she knew Li Boche wouldn't let her go.

Clutching the small knife tightly, ready to fight him to the death!
