Bo Junxing remained silent, his brows furrowing slightly. He didn't even hear Yue Ying speaking to him.

Being ignored like this left Yue Ying feeling particularly bad.

But she told herself that since he came, it meant he still cared about her.

"Junxing." She called out Bo Junxing's name again.

This time, Bo Junxing quickly looked away from her and asked, "What?"

"The police said we need to go back to the police station with them. Do you... have time, or are you going home now?"

Bo Junxing glanced at the handcuffed man in the police car and said to Yue Ying, "Let's go to the police station."

Yue Ying nodded. "Thank you for coming to Junxing. Actually, I was quite scared just now, but seeing you getting closer and closer to me in the shared location, I wasn't so scared anymore."

Just as Yue Ying finished speaking, Bo Junxing's driver came over after answering the police's questions.

"Mr. Bo, your arm is bleeding! Should we get it treated?"

Bo Junxing glanced down at his arm, unconcerned. "It's nothing, just a reopened wound. Go get the car."

Yue Ying also saw Bo Junxing's wound, and she actually wanted to say something to show her concern for him.

But when she thought about how Bo Junxing had been injured the night before fighting for that woman surnamed Shen, she couldn't say a single word of concern!

If her old classmate hadn't happened to film this scene at that nightclub, she would never have been able to imagine Bo Junxing fighting with people in a bar like a young boy.

She remained silent for several seconds before saying, "Let's go."

public security bureau.

"That person refuses to reveal his accomplices. Ms. Yue, think about it carefully. Do you really not know them?" the police officer asked Yue Ying.

Yue Ying firmly shook her head, "I don't recognize him. Tonight is the first time I've seen this face. Can't you find it on the surveillance footage?"

"Because it was dark at night, and they were all wearing masks, we couldn't see their faces. We investigated this person and found out he wasn't an ordinary thug. We asked him if he had offended anyone."

"No way, I just returned to China, how could I have offended anyone?"

"Ms. Yue, you'd better think this over carefully, otherwise you might encounter similar dangers in the future."

Hearing what the police said, Yue Ying frowned and subconsciously turned to look at Bo Junxing beside her.

Bo Junxing glanced at her and said, "Tell the police whatever comes to mind."

Yue Ying thought for a while before speaking again, "Actually, someone has been looking for revenge against my family. My father offended someone in the past, but my ancestral home is Ningcheng, and I didn't expect them to actually track me down here."

"Then would you mind telling me who your enemy is and what caused the feud?"

Yue Ying nodded. "Can I have a cup of hot water?"

"Okay, wait a moment."

"No need to trouble you, officer, I'll go get it myself."

Yue Ying stood up, glancing at Bo Junxing out of the corner of her eye.

She discovered that Bo Junxing wasn't paying attention to her at all.

He was looking at his phone, but didn't do anything, as if he was waiting for something.

Suddenly, a 'humming' vibration sounded.

Yue Ying saw his long, slender fingers quickly swipe open his phone.

-

Bo Junxing opened WeChat.

A small red dot appeared in the upper right corner of Shen Feiwan's profile picture.

He clicked on it quickly.

I noticed that Shen Feiwan had sent me a video.

There was only one video, and no other extra information.

At first glance, the video was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

He couldn't figure out what Shen Feiwan would send.

It might be one of those restricted (18+) movies.

Therefore, after hesitating for a few seconds, he chose to mute his phone.

Click on the small triangle on the video, and the content inside quickly becomes clear.

At first, it was just pitch black.

But Bo Junxing quickly recognized it as a shop near the back gate of No. 1 Middle School.

The video shows several men smoking, and their faces are clearly visible without masks.

It was the same group of people who attacked them earlier; one of them has now been taken to the police station.

Bo Junxing hadn't expected that Shen Feiwan had this trick up her sleeve.

He immediately exited the video and tapped the chat box at the bottom of his phone screen.

He typed "Are you home yet?" quickly and then deleted it.

He then typed 'thank you', but before he could select those two words, he pressed the delete key again.

Finally, he sent out four words: "Wait for me to come back."

Then click to save the video, exit WeChat, and hand the video over to the police.

The police will handle the rest.

Bo Junxing escorted Yue Ying back to her hotel.

Yue Ying couldn't help but ask Bo Junxing, "She filmed that video, right? What did she mean today? Does she think I risked my life to lure you out?"

In the dimly lit carriage, Bo Junxing glanced at Yue Ying, his voice somewhat cold, "She helped you. The sound of police sirens, the man who was caught, and this video."

Yue Ying couldn't stand Bo Junxing speaking up for other women, saying, "The police would have arrived even without her."

“Yes,” Bo Junxing said, looking at Yue Ying, “I didn’t have to come.”

"...What did you say?" Yue Ying asked in disbelief. "Is that what you're thinking? Just because we broke up means we have to cut all ties? What about our past relationship? Isn't there any chance we can get back together?"

"Yue Ying, we're not young anymore. We both know what breaking up means."

"What if I say I regret it? Junxing, I don't want to see you protecting another woman like this. I can't stand you choosing her over me, I can't bear to see you speaking up for her, and I regret breaking up with you. I want to take back what I said, is that okay?"

Yue Ying looked at Bo Junxing with longing, hoping to see the same intense emotions in his eyes as she did.

Unfortunately, his eyes remained calm and unwavering.

Yue Ying had already gotten the answer from Bo Junxing's indifferent reaction, but she was still unwilling to give up.

"Tell me, Junxing. I need a definite answer from you."

"A breakup is a breakup. There's no going back from the day I got married."

"I don't believe it! If there's no way to turn things around, why did you abandon her halfway and rush to find me tonight?"

"You know, whatever excuse you used to call me over last night, that's why I had to ensure your personal safety."

Yue Ying froze, tears welling in her eyes. "Really? Is all that's left between us—working together?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then have the driver stop the car, I'll go back by myself."

"I told you, I will guarantee your personal safety."

"If you don't open the door, I'll jump out of the car myself!" Yue Ying reached out to open the car door.

But Bo Junxing grabbed him, saying, "Stop messing around! The car doors are already locked."

"Then you say you still have feelings for me? Say it! You can't have forgotten me so quickly, right?"

"Yue Ying, I'm a person with flesh and blood too. After all, we were together before, and it's only been less than a year since we broke up. I can't erase you from my memory so quickly. But there's no possibility between us anymore."

"Why? Just because you're married? Then you can divorce her."

"Why should I divorce her? What did she do wrong? Did she abandon me, or was she having an affair with her boss while maintaining a relationship with me?"

As he said this last sentence, Bo Junxing tightened his grip on Yue Ying's hand.

Upon hearing this, Yue Ying felt all her strength drain away.

A flicker of panic and tension crossed her eyes. "You know. But Junxing... I can explain."

Seeing that she was no longer going to jump out of the car, Bo Junxing finally let go of her hand, saying, "There's no need to explain anymore."

"Then..." Yue Ying paused, her pride shining through. She turned her face away to look out the window, and gradually lost her voice.

After the heated argument, the carriage fell silent instantly.

Bo Junxing took out his phone and opened his chat window with Shen Feiwan, but there were no new messages from her.

The last message was still the same: "Wait for me to come back."

When the car arrived at the hotel entrance, Bo Junxing personally escorted Yue Ying to her room by swiping her card before turning to leave.

Seeing him come out so quickly, the driver hurriedly asked, "It's very late now, are you going back to Biyue Yunting?"

Biyunting is Bo Junxing's house in the city center, where he usually chooses to spend the night when he has social engagements that go on late.

But tonight, he said without hesitation, "Let's go back to Bo Garden."
