Bai Mengmeng couldn't sleep at the thought of that figure, but she was too embarrassed to wake the others, so she stayed up until dawn. She only dared to leave her room when Lu Ze came to call her for dinner.
When Bai Mengmeng saw that everyone around her was familiar, she finally mustered up the courage to recount the terrifying scene she had witnessed the previous night.
After listening to Bai Mengmeng's account, Lu Ze and the others immediately checked the surveillance footage, but found no one. Faced with this situation, Lu Ze could only comfort her, saying, "It's probably because she's unfamiliar with this place, so she's hallucinating." Although Bai Mengmeng had her doubts about this explanation, she could only reluctantly accept it.
Meanwhile, Li Yan secretly rejoiced that he had discovered Bai Mengmeng had seen him in time. He quickly ordered his men to replace the surveillance video from that period to avoid being discovered. At the same time, he stared at them with resentment, feeling jealous and bitter seeing them so happy.
Just then, Liu Lin excitedly ran over, grabbed Ji Feng, and said to Bai Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, I have great news for you! Ji Feng and I have decided to be together!" Hearing this, Bai Mengmeng snapped out of her daze, smiled, and congratulated them. Then, she leaned close to Liu Lin's ear and whispered, "Congratulations! But I have a little secret to tell you~ Last night you two... hehe, you know what I mean, we saw everything!" She then winked mischievously.
Liu Lin originally wanted to share her happy news in a grand way, since this was her first boyfriend with a formal title. However, she was surprised to find herself gossiping about her own boyfriend.
The group hurriedly packed their things and headed home. On the way back, Bai Mengmeng couldn't help but think about that figure. Why did it feel so familiar yet so strange? Why did she suddenly wake up from her dream? These were all mysteries. She tried to control herself from thinking about it, but the figure still appeared in her mind.
Seeing Bai Mengmeng's unusual expression, Wang Fei said, "Mengmeng, are you still thinking about it? Stop thinking about it. We've checked the surveillance footage and there's no one there. Since there are people around, our security measures are top-notch. They can sense any disturbance. Lu Ze can't be with you because of something, and Liu Lin and Ji Feng are being all lovey-dovey right now. This important task can only be left to me. I'll take you out to have some fun today, let's go shopping together." Wang Fei tried to attract Bai Mengmeng's attention by acting cute and charming.
Seeing her friends comforting her, Bai Mengmeng's expression softened.
At this moment, Li Yan went to see the woman who had harmed his brother. "You are Zhu Ting. You are average-looking, average-minded, and just average in every way."
Zhu Ting tried to use the same trick again, hoping to seduce Li Yan and get rid of her.
Seeing that this woman didn't know what was good for her, Li Yan kicked her away. "Choose for yourself. Either you work for me, or I'll hand you over to my brother."
Zhu Ting had heard of Li Yuan's ruthlessness, but little did she know that he was simply jumping from one abyss into another.
She stared at the man before her, trembling, her eyes filled with fear.
Li Yan showed no pity for her, but instead sneered, "Do you think I'm like those men who are bewitched by you? Let me tell you, I'm not the kind of person who's easily fooled!"
As he spoke, he kicked Zhu Ting hard again, causing her to scream in pain.
Zhu Ting felt a surge of resentment, but she knew this wasn't the time to resist; she had to save her life first. So, she endured the pain, struggled to her feet, and stood before Li Yan with her head bowed.
Looking at Zhu Ting's pitiful appearance, Li Yan felt a surge of pleasure. He knew that women like her were masters at exploiting people's sympathy, so he decided not to give her any chance.
He sneered, "Do you think you have any other choice? Either become my pawn and do things for me, or wait to be tortured to death by my brother."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ting's face turned deathly pale. She knew that if she fell into Li Yuan's hands, she would definitely meet a bad end. But if she became Li Yan's pawn, perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Ting finally made her decision. She raised her head, her eyes shining with determination, and said to Li Yan, "I am willing to serve you, please let me go."
For some reason, Li Yan thought of Bai Mengmeng. If Bai Mengmeng were standing here today, what kind of amazing performance would she give?
Li Yan picked up his phone and glanced at it; his underling had sent him a message. Bai Mengmeng and Wang Fei were at the mall.
Li Yan looked at this shameless woman and said, "I'll contact you directly if I need anything," before walking away in disgust.
Just as Bai Mengmeng was feeling happy, her sixth sense told her something was wrong; it seemed like someone was following her. She turned around abruptly, but didn't see any other suspicious people.
Li Yan, now dressed casually, arrived at the mall and quickly followed his subordinate's directions to Bai Mengmeng's location. Unexpectedly, Bai Mengmeng suddenly turned around, catching Li Yan off guard.
"Why is she so vigilant? We almost got exposed." The subordinate was also puzzled. He hadn't gotten away with following her, but the moment the boss arrived, she became suspicious. Just then, Li Yan heard Wang Fei shout for help. Li Yan immediately rushed over, picked up the unconscious Bai Mengmeng, and rushed her to the hospital.
Li Yan was extremely worried, fearing something might happen to Bai Mengmeng, and even threatened the doctors to do everything they could to save her. Meanwhile, Lu Ze and the others rushed to the hospital after receiving the news.
The doctor was quite alarmed by Li Yan's attitude: "Mr. Li, please don't be agitated. She just didn't get enough rest, and she was under a lot of stress, which is why she suddenly fainted. As long as she gets some rest, she should recover."
Li Yan remained silent, simply gazing at Bai Mengmeng on the hospital bed. It wasn't until Lu Ze and his group arrived at the ward that he slowly came back to his senses.
"Why are you here?" Lu Ze asked, puzzled.
Unable to tell Lu Ze the truth, Li Yan fabricated a lie: "When I came out to eat just now, I suddenly heard someone calling for help. I didn't expect it to be Bai Mengmeng. Since you're already here, I'll head back now. I have a flight back to the US this afternoon!" With that, he turned and left.
Lu Ze didn't think much of it and watched Li Yan leave. Just then, Bai Mengmeng slowly opened her eyes, but due to her blurred vision, she could only vaguely see a figure beside her. Even so, the feeling of déjà vu made her feel incredibly familiar.
Although she couldn't see the person's full face, judging from the side profile, she was almost certain that this was the man who had spied on them last night.
