After the male voice came from below, the sound of rapid footsteps followed shortly. Han Muzi was taken aback as she felt that something was not right. She had just successfully calmed Duanmu Xue down. Wouldn’t what was happening now undo what she just did?
Duanmu Xue was already provoked when Han Muzi was about to turn around and speak to her. This was because she felt ashamed when she thought about how she allowed Han Muzi to manipulate her and even shed tears because of what she said. She was lying to me! Furthermore, the officers were already there. They would surely arrest her!
No! I can’t be arrested! Duanmu Xue’s mind only had one thought. I’ll push her down the stairs! If she pushed her down the stairs, it would make everyone panic. She could then use that opportunity to flee and go back to the Yuchi residence.
The moment the idea came up, Duanmu Xue immediately pushed Han Muzi down the stairs without hesitation and turned around to escape!
Han Muzi did not even have the opportunity to say anything. Furthermore, given where she was, there was nothing for her to hold on to. Knowing she was about to fall, she closed her eyes and put her hands around her belly to protect it. No…
If the opportunity she fought so hard for were to be destroyed at this moment, what could she use to redeem herself in the future? Just as Han Muzi thought that she was about to fall, an enormous pair of hands caught her in the air. She smelled a familiar scent and the next thing she saw when she quickly opened her eyes was a pair of deep eyes.
Her usually calm and cold eyes were no longer calm at this point; instead, they were filled with anxiety. Even though that pair of enormous hands were strong, they were shaking softly. She could tell from his rapid breathing how much force he had to exert to catch her and how nervous he was.
As Han Muzi’s eyebrows were softly quivering, she vigorously held on to his white dress shirt. She wanted to utter something, but she was unable to. At the same time, she began to feel increasingly dizzy. In the next second, she passed out in his arms.
Before they could even say a word to each other, Han Muzi had already fainted in his arms. Ye Moxuan frowned and quickly carried her in his arms.
“Go after that person. They went that way!”
George brought a group of people with him and went upstairs. Rory, who was following from behind, stopped running after seeing Han Muzi. She stopped and looked at her, completely out of breath. “Muzi? President, is she alright?”
Ye Moxuan saw her and could not recall who she was, though judging from the worried look on her face, he could safely assume that she was Muzi’s friend. As much as he was reluctant to respond, he forced himself to reply, “I’ll send her to the hospital.” After he finished his sentence, Ye Moxuan carried her in his arms and headed downstairs.
Rory nodded and subconsciously turned around to follow along. She took a few steps forward but decided to stop walking when she saw Ye Moxuan’s figure that was well-built yet extremely indifferent and unemotional. Forget it. Even though she was worried about Muzi, she was a total stranger to the president of the company; she had never thought of being able to speak to him as she was merely a low-ranked employee. It would be strange for her to go along. Since she came with George, she should chase after that person with him. As for Muzi, she would be fine seeing how worried Ye Moxuan was about her.
After making up her mind, Rory silently turned around and ran toward George.
Duanmu Xue escaped right after she pushed Han Muzi down the stairs. Needless to say, she immediately regretted it! Why was I so impulsive? She already told me she would speak for me, and that wasn’t a lie. The reason they came here was that they acted fast. If I didn’t do what I did earlier, she might still have been able to defend me. But now?
She had pushed Han Muzi down the stairs.
Earlier… was a voice that Duanmu Xue was familiar with. It was George, who had spent a long time with her. That guy… He used to like me a lot. He’s here! If that’s him, Ye Moxuan… must be here too! If he finds out that I was the one who pushed Han Muzi, he will hate me.
She did another unforgivable thing, but she had gone too far and there was no turning back. Duanmu Xue dared not hear or see what happened to Han Muzi after she pushed her down the stairs, so she could only keep running forward.
As long as she left this place and went back to the Duanmu residence to find her grandfather for protection, she should be alright. Even though her grandfather was mad at her, he would never leave her alone if she was in trouble. After all, she was his granddaughter!
At this juncture, Duanmu Xue ran even faster, until she came to a dead-end and had nowhere else to run. She turned around and saw that the group of people was already catching up to her. If she were to run back now, she would be caught by them.
Right at this point, a motel guest came out of his room. When Duanmu Xue saw that, she immediately ran into his room and pulled him out.
“Hey! What are you doing? Let me go!”
Bang! Duanmu Xue barged into the room and locked the door right away.
The guest, who was pulled out of his room, stood there looking utterly confused. He did not know what happened until George and his group of people came up to him and surrounded the room. That gave him a shock.
“You… What’re you guys planning to do?” he asked, stammering.
George gave him a look and responded, “Did that lady enter your room?”
The motel guest nodded. “Yes. She suddenly ran toward me and grabbed my room key. She then went into my room and locked the door.”
George frowned and did not look happy. The guest took a few steps back after seeing that he had so many people with him. “T-This has nothing to do with me. She barged in herself.”
“We know. We have something to take care of here, so you can leave first.”
The guest hesitated. “My room key…”
George took out a few bills and passed them to him. “Please leave first. The room will be yours again after we’ve taken care of our business. Do you understand?”
This was a small motel that did not cost much per night. When the guest saw how much money there was in his hand, he got excited and quickly took the money from him before running away.
At this point, Rory caught up to them. She stood in front of George with her hands on her hips. “Where’s the person? Didn’t we catch the person?”
George looked at her and looked back at the door. “The person’s hiding in the room.”
Rory took a glance at the room and turned to look at the crowd around the door. She pursed her lips and finally understood what was going on. She took out her phone and tried to make a call, prompting George to ask, “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Calling the police, otherwise the motel would never cooperate with us to open the door.”
Hearing that she was about to call the police, George instinctively reached out to stop her.
Rory was confused, so she looked up at him. “What’s wrong?”
