Siyu reflexively pulled Ji Lin along (back to the hotel). Because up till now when she recalled that terrifyingly huge amount of malevolence surrounding Fifth Master Lu, her legs would unconsciously give out. She thought that if a person who possessed exuberant good fortune like Ji Lin stayed by her side, perhaps it could neutralize his strong and intimidating aura. Thus, in a haste, she dragged Ji Lin along.
However, halfway through, Siyu realized that it wasn’t appropriate. This matter didn’t have anything to do with Ji Lin. It’s not that good to pull him into this, isn’t it?
What’s more, the other side is an unfathomable mental case. What if a conflict happened….
At this moment, the two of them had just come out of the alley and arrived at the main road. Siyu released Ji Lin. She pushed him and said, “You go back to the hotel first. I have something else to do, I’ll go back later.”
Ji Lin was in a state of confusion from the beginning to the end. He didn’t know what had happened. Seeing the apparent anxiety on Siyu’s face, he became suspicious and asked, “Siyu-jie, who called you just now?”
As soon as he said this, Ji Lin immediately felt that this question was too intimate. He was afraid that his sister would feel that he was too meddlesome, so he wanted to cover it up and added, “It’s so late, it’s not safe for a girl like you to be alone outside…..”
For some reason, Xu Qingwan’s previous words suddenly flashed through Ji Lin’s mind. He remembered Xu Qingwan said that there’s a wild man that’s trying to hook up with his sister, right?
Young Master Ji had completely forgotten that Xu Qingwan’s original words were “Siyu hooking up with another man”. Instead, he justifiably shifted the sequence. After all in Ji Lin’s mind, his sister was so good, how could anyone not like her? Obviously it’s other people who try to seduce her!
As soon as this conjecture popped up, Ji Lin adamantly refused to leave first. He wanted to see which wild man had such audacity that he dared to trick Siyu to go out so late at night!
Siyu couldn’t withstand Young Master Ji’s continuous pestering at all. In addition, when Fifth Master Lu called, he only gave her five minutes. So she could only give up on persuading Ji Lin, hailed a taxi, and rushed back to the hotel.
After dashing into the lobby, Siyu’s legs were seriously going to give in. Her body fundamentally wasn’t suitable for strenuous exercise. After dashing all the way here with hands and feets cold from the fright, she couldn’t help but cough up blood as soon as she entered. She missed her step and was about to fall over.
“Jie!” Ji Lin was half a step faster than her. Just as he turned around, he saw t Siyu’s figure wobbling and falling towards the glass door. His heart almost stopped from fright. He quickly snapped back to his senses and rushed forward to support his sister. But before his hand could touch the corner of Siyu’s clothes, another hand appeared from the side and steadily caught Siyu’s falling figure.
Ji Lin was stunned. His gaze followed the meticulous design on that person’s sleeve up to see the slight wrinkle in Fifth Master Lu’s brow. He looked down at Siyu and inquired, “Are you still going to run?”
“Cough, cough, cough…..” Siyu was caught unprepared by the attack of bad luck covering his whole body. As soon as she tried to explain herself, the words turned into a cough. This time, Siyu didn’t dare to spit up blood on Fifth Master Lu. So, she desperately pushed herself away from his chest, wanting to put some distance between them.
“What are you guys doing? !” Ji Lin was only dumbstruck for a few seconds. When he came back to his senses, he discovered that they were surrounded by a group of black-clothed bodyguards since who knew when. The whole hotel lobby was quiet, there was no staff nor any other guests. It’s like the area had been cleared in advance.
Ji Lin instantly realized that the man who was holding his elder sister was absolutely not simple! The Ji family was also a very important and well-known big family in Jiang City. Ji Lin had been influenced since he was a child. Although he didn’t like such a way of life, he developed a keen sense. This group of people….. Perhaps, even the Ji family wouldn’t dare to provoke.
Although he was aware of this fact, letting himself look on helplessly as his sister was carried away by an unfamiliar man, Ji Lin simply couldn’t do it. He stayed calm and stepped forwards to hold Siyu’s shoulder, trying to get her back, “Siyu-jie is not in good health. You’re scaring her!”
As soon as Ji Lin touched Siyu, she immediately sensed that the breathless feeling of being surrounded by the heavy bad luck was improving a bit. Ji Lin’s dense good fortune tenaciously set up a barrier. Although it was a little fragile…… at any rate, it made Siyu able to breathe and speak normally again.
Good brother, I didn’t dote on you in vain ! Ji Lin’s awesomeness almost made Siyu burst into tears.
“Fifth Master, I wasn’t going to secretly run away!” While she was able to speak, Siyu quickly explained in one breath, “I was notified to come here for the film’s shooting. It was just due to the job’s demand. Besides, I thought that since you’re so busy, you probably wouldn’t have the time to care…. For such a small thing like me…..”
Under Fifth Master’s cold gaze, the more she said the quieter her voice became. Finally, she simply shut up for fear that she would make more mistakes as she spoke.
She was also aggrieved. She had thought that it had been this mental case’s whim, who would have thought that he was actually serious?
Fifth Master Lu mused over her explanation. He found it interesting. What the little girl means was that he who had gone through a lot of trouble for “such a small thing” seemed to be doing unnecessary things, right?
Her guts were really big.
“Fifth Master?” When Ji Lin heard this form of address, he repeated it suspiciously. This name was somewhat familiar. It seemed like his father, Ji Wenhan, had mentioned it before, but he had forgotten what specifically he had said. He only remembered that Ji Wenhan had mentioned it in a very fearful tone.
A man who could make an old fox like his father treat as a taboo …… Ji Lin’s heart skipped a beat. He was even more determined to protect his soft and fragile sister.
“Regardless of the matter, let Siyu-jie sit down first. She just ran all the way back!” Despite the eye gesture that Siyu was desperately throwing at Ji Lin, he refused to back down in front of Fifth Master Lu.
