Lu Ning replied coldly, "No."

She didn't want to turn back.

I don't want to go back to the team and experience that kind of life again.

Lu Liu seemed to lose his balance, his face was pale, and he could no longer utter a word.

Second brother is right.

He clearly had a chance to make up for it before, but in the end he didn't seize it.

Lu Ning entered the residential area, but instead of going back upstairs immediately, she took a walk around the area.

She remembered the grievances she suffered in the team in her previous life, and this time she finally got her revenge.

She will absolutely not participate in the finals!

Since in her past life, Sixth Brother replaced her and gave Qin Xiang the chance to win the championship, then in this life, she will cut off Sixth Brother's chance to win the championship.

Lu Ning looked up at the sky, determined never to repeat the same mistake in this lifetime.

"Hey beautiful, are you feeling down because you're all alone?"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man walked out from the side, looking at Lu Ning with an unfriendly gaze: "How about we go to my place for a drink?"

"unnecessary."

Lu Ning refused with a wary expression and turned to walk towards the crowd.

"Hey pretty girl, don't go! I know where you live. Aren't you being kept by those two men? How about I give you double what they pay you?"

Lu Ning quickened her pace and ran outside, never expecting to encounter a pervert while just going for a walk.

Suddenly someone grabbed her hand, which startled her and made her scream.

"Lu Ning!"

Ji Chiqian took her hand and pulled her into his arms: "What's wrong?"

Lu Ning opened her eyes and saw it was him.

She subconsciously looked towards the path leading to the small garden, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anyone.

She calmed herself down and said, "Someone was harassing me just now."

"Where?"

"He's over there, but it seems he hasn't caught up with us."

The man probably chickened out because he saw Ji Chiqian.

Ji Chiqian saw that her face had turned pale with fright: "I told you not to come down alone."

"How was I supposed to know I'd be this unlucky?"

She then realized she was in his arms, and awkwardly took a step back to create some distance.

Ji Chiqian's hand was suddenly empty. He withdrew his hand and asked, "Should we call the police?"

"Okay, call the police."

An elderly woman came up and said, "The surveillance cameras on that road have blind spots. Someone reported it to the police before, but they never found the person. Young lady, you shouldn't go to deserted places alone at night. It's very dangerous."

Lu Ning nodded; she hadn't expected to encounter something like this.

A cold glint flashed in Ji Chiqian's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Let's go back first and talk about it later."

Lu Ning doesn't want to stay outside anymore; she always feels like someone is watching her.

She returned to her apartment and sat on the sofa, her mind filled with the scene from earlier.

"Drink some hot water."

Lu Ning saw a pair of slender hands, took the water, and said, "Thank you."

Seeing her pale face, Ji Chiqian said gently, "I will investigate this matter of perversion. As long as there are people in this world, they will leave traces. There is no such thing as a blind spot in surveillance."

If Lu Ning is to continue living here, the hidden dangers must be eliminated.

Lu Ning looked up: "You mean hacking into the surveillance system?"

"Kid, don't bring what you see on TV into real life. It's illegal."

Ji Chiqian earnestly lectured Lu Ning: "What you need to do now is go back and rest as soon as possible."

Lu Ning hesitated for a moment: "But that person knows where I live, and also knows about your existence."

As for the man's claim that she was being kept by a sugar daddy, she didn't mention it.

Anyway, it's not true.

Ji Chiqian's face darkened instantly; he hadn't expected anyone to be so audacious!

He said calmly, "You'll sleep here tonight."

Lu Ning nodded: "I'll sleep on the sofa."

Ji Chiqian frowned: "You sleep in my room, I'll sleep on the sofa."

Sleep in his room?

Lu Ning's heart skipped a beat: "Isn't Gu Zifeng coming back?"

The apartment has two bedrooms; there are no extra rooms.

"His room is like a doghouse, I advise you not to challenge him."

Lu Ning immediately gave up on the idea: "Actually, I can sleep on the sofa, it won't take up any space."

"Go to sleep when I tell you to. I have some things to take care of tonight, so I might not be able to sleep."

Ji Chiqian looked somewhat unnatural, but he concealed it well.

Finally, Lu Ning went next door to get a change of clothes, and he stood at the door waiting.

When Lu Ning came out with her clothes, she saw the man standing at the door and immediately felt an overwhelming sense of security.

She went to his master bedroom, which was simple and clean.

Ji Chiqian brought over a new quilt: "You can use this."

"Ok."

Ji Chiqian put down the thick quilt and walked straight to the bedroom door. After all, it was just the two of them, and it wasn't appropriate for him to stay in the bedroom.

She glanced at it, then turned back to look at the doorway.

Ji Chiqian stood by the door, his body turned to the side, the light from outside the living room casting an exceptionally long shadow on him.

His gaze was deep and unfathomable: "You go to sleep first, call me if you need anything."

After he finished speaking, he closed the door for her.

Lu Ning stood still. This was his bedroom, and he didn't have many things.

She observed him carefully and found that Ji Chiqian was quite clean, unlike the unclean and smelly men in the rumors.

She took a shower and changed her clothes, but when she lay in bed, she smelled the scent of the blankets.

Cough cough, it's a very subtle feeling, I can't quite put my finger on it.

When she breathed, she smelled something very similar to Ji Chiqian's scent.

It felt as if he were right beside her, embracing her. Thinking of this, Lu Ning's face grew hotter.

Lu Ning thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she actually fell asleep very quickly.

I guess it's because I feel very safe.

Outside, Ji Chiqian went to his study.

He turned on his computer, switched systems, and said in an extremely cold tone, "Still haven't found that pervert?"

"Found it, damn it, they live in our building!"

Gu Zifeng's voice came: "That old bastard usually steals people's underwear that's hanging out to dry, and he even has binoculars on his balcony!"

Ji Chiqian's face instantly turned ashen: "Which floor do you live on?"

"I've sent you the location. Give that old bastard a kick for me too!"

Ji Chiqian shut down his computer, sent a message, and then went to his bedroom.

He stood there for a while, then left the apartment.

A row of men in black stood at the entrance, all wearing white gloves, baseball caps, and masks.

There was silence.

Ji Chiqian's features blended into the darkness. He led his men upstairs in the elevator, his deep features expressionless.

The man in black took out an electromagnetic card, swiped it on the combination lock, and the door opened immediately.

After Ji Chiqian went in, he heard the sounds of a man and a woman making soft, suggestive noises coming from the study.

He walked over and saw that the middle-aged man was still watching porn.

At this crucial moment, the middle-aged man saw the people who suddenly barged in and was terrified: "Who...who are you?"

Ji Chiqian turned around and slowly raised his hand.

The man in black behind him went into the study and closed the door.

Ji Chiqian stood on the balcony, looking at the starry sky outside, his thin lips tinged with coldness.

After a long while, the study door opened.

Ji Chiqian then turned and went inside. The middle-aged man was kneeling on the ground with a bruised and swollen face. He begged Ji Chiqian for mercy: "Handsome guy, did I offend you in some way? If you want money, I can give you the money in my safe."

Ji Chiqian stood condescendingly in front of the middle-aged man, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

A chill ran down the middle-aged man's spine, and he dared not utter another word.

Ji Chiqian took the gloves and patted the middle-aged man's cheek: "What, didn't you just say I was keeping a female student as a mistress? Is your memory that bad?"

He found out what Lu Ning hadn't finished saying.
