Chapter 57 hurts so much, I don't want to be crippled

  This woman is really stubborn. Her narrow and long eyes narrowed. She was infuriated by her wrongdoings, yet refused to admit her mistakes, with a look of obstinacy.

  He gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "This is the path you chose yourself." He furrowed his brow, reached out to peel off Leng Xi's hand that was grasping his sleeve.

  "Ah, don't, I don't want to be crippled. It will hurt so much. Bad guy, Ling Han, don't, don't." She cried out in a choked voice, tightly grasping his hand. Her fingernails dug into his skin, tearing it off. His blood seeped into her fingernails. Her hands trembled uncontrollably, yet she still held on to him, refusing to let go.

  She's really, really scared. She originally had a bit of acrophobia. Now her body is suspended in mid-air and she's about to fall and shatter into pieces. Her heart is racing with fear. She doesn't really want to die. She just doesn't want to admit that she didn't do it. Don't punish her.

  Looking at her trembling body in the wind, it was like a lonely willow branch in disarray. A small face cried miserably, with lips bitten until they bled. Pitiful. Ling Han grasped her and, after taking a deep breath, gave her one last chance to ask, "Tell me, why did you do this? Who told you to do this?"

  He still didn't believe her. Leng Xi's heart skipped a beat. Tears gushed out even more, flowing down the small white face like a sparkling riverbed.

  The sadness at this moment is not because of fear, but heartache from his distrust. She has been with him for so long, yet he doesn't trust her a bit?

  She bit her lip, stubbornly staring at Ling Han, shaking her head while sniffing, and in a trembling voice that was already disjointed, she insisted, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything..." Before she could finish, her body slid down again. She closed her eyes and let out a loud cry.

  "Oh no, what's going on? Quickly pull Xier over here." A middle-aged woman's anxious voice suddenly sounded from behind.

  "Aunt Cao, save me quickly... Aunt Cao." Through the gap in the railing, she saw Aunt Cao hurrying over anxiously. Leng Xi was like a starving ghost in the desert, suddenly seeing a plane in the sky and catching sight of hope. She cried out pleadingly.

  "Baili, you child! Are you going to scare Xi'er to death? Whatever it is, just say it properly. This will lead to someone getting hurt." Bai Mu hastily walked over to Baili's side, looking at his face which was visibly stirred up with anger. She didn't dare to make any sudden moves either, and could only anxiously persuade him.

  "Waaah... Aunt Cao... Ling... He wants to abandon me... It hurts so much. I don't want to be crippled... Waaah..." Leng Xi was like seeing a family member who could take care of her, she cried grievously, counting on Ling Han's evil deeds.

  "Good boy. Auntie will help you persuade him."

  Ling Han's breathing was rapid. Still no intention of pulling her up.

  Bai Mu let out a anxious sigh and spoke to Ling Han in a soft tone, "Ling Han, look at Xi Er, she's already trembling with fear. For the sake of Aunt Cao's face, why don't you bring her over first?" Bai Mu was well aware of Ling Han's overbearing and cold personality, but she had no choice, so she decided to play the emotional card.

  Her narrow, icy gaze flicked towards White Mother. Ling's cold eyes swept over her, his brow furrowing slightly. "Considering White Auntie's plea, I'll spare you for now." He exerted a bit of force and lifted Qing Xi's body up. Just in time, White Mother arrived, providing him an opportunity to back down. This woman was truly stubborn enough to infuriate people. If not for White Mother's intervention, he would have lost control of himself in a fit of rage and thrown her down just to see if she'd behave.

  Her foot touched the ground. Leng Xi was so scared that her legs softened and bounced once, almost falling to the ground. But she didn't even dare to let her body go limp. She quickly broke free from Ling Han's grasp and hid behind Cao Ayi, grabbing her hem, still feeling frightened, timidly lowering her head, not even daring to look up at him.

  Her legs were trembling with weakness. She still propped herself up firmly. Whatever happens, she mustn't fall down. Otherwise, her fate would be even more miserable.

  "Oh dear. Look at Creek being scared..." White Mother glanced back, gazing at Cold Creek with a look of heartache, as if she were a wounded kitten.

  "Come here." Ling Han's eyes gleamed with a cold light as he spoke in a chilly tone.

  He was startled by Cold Creek's sudden movement, and he grabbed Cao Auntie's hand tightly. He shifted his feet to hide behind Cao Auntie's back, as if this would make Ling Han unable to see him. "I don't want to go over there..." she said in a low voice, her eyebrows furrowed. Ling Han was too scary now, and she didn't want to go near him.

  "Hehe, Xi'er is my goddaughter. I haven't seen her for a long time and miss her so much. Luckily, I met her today. Can I take her back home to stay for a few days? That would cure my longing. It's best if you agree, Cao Auntie trusts you the most."

  Watching Ling Han get angry again, Bai Mu hastily intervened to mediate.

  Ling Han's eyebrows rose in surprise. Bai Mu was afraid that he would be eaten by the Cold Creek monster, so she hastily took him and escaped.

  "I... I'm going to stay with Aunt Cao for a few days..." Leng Xi blinked her dense eyelashes and said in a low, timid voice.

  Aunt Cao said it got to her heart. She really doesn't dare face Ling Han now. Just thinking about how he almost threw her away earlier makes her angry and she's sulking, not wanting to see him anymore. And even more so, she doesn't know how to face Aunt Zi Feng.

  Her eyes sparkled, and her cold lips moved slightly.

  "Alright, I also agree that Xi'er goes to Bai Yicheng's house for a few days. A daughter should return to her mother's home after all. Han Shao, don't be too overbearing. Not even allowing people to return home." Ling Han was about to speak, but was preempted by Du Shaohui's words that were like a slap in the face, blocking his way back. After finishing speaking, he also gave Ling Han a meaningful glance.

  It seemed as if he was intentionally provoking him. The three words "Bai Yi Cheng" were also deliberately emphasized by him.

  Du Shaoxi had seen everything that Ling Han did to Xi'er just now. The reason he didn't come out to rescue Xi'er was because he was betting on whether Ling Han would really be so ruthless as to throw Xi'er down.

  His heart had been stirred up to his throat several times by Ling Han's movements. This time, seeing that Ling Han seemed to be really coming, he was just about to rush out. Just then, Bai Mu hurried over in a flurry, and he also felt at ease.

  But what he didn't expect was that Ling Han actually wanted to throw Leng Xi down. For such a small matter, he took Leng Xi's side and deliberately provoked Ling Han.

  "Suit yourself." Han Miao gave Leng Xi a cold glance. Ling Han let out a cold snort and turned to leave with a flick of his sleeve.

  He Linghan was still fearless of being stimulated by others, thinking of going to live with Bai Yicheng, treating Bai Yicheng's home as his own. Fine, let's go. At this time, He Linghan, who was furious and angry, also started to struggle with himself.

  Watching Ling Han leave with his back view, Leng Xi pouted and muttered: Stinky Ling Han, bad Ling Han, humph, I won't forgive you again.

  Bai Mu originally came to the hospital to visit a relative, but unexpectedly encountered Ling Han and Leng Xi's situation. This suited her just fine, as she could now take Xi Er back home with her.

  The White House is warm and cozy. The all-white design is soothing. The whole house is filled with a gentle atmosphere.

  "Don't look anymore. Yi Cheng is not at home." Ba Mu suddenly said while pouring tea.

  "Ah, I...I think your home's design layout is great." Realizing her mistake, Leng Xi hastily withdrew her distracted gaze. She was a student of interior design, maybe it was an occupational habit, seeing a room and wanting to study it.

  "Right. What did you mean by saying Ba Li Cheng is not at home?" Leng Xi understood and came over.

  Bai Mu put down the teacup and let out a deep sigh. Worries crept up to her eyebrows. "Yi Cheng, this child... has been playing with his life recently. It's really worrying..." Every mother has worries about their children. That kind of love always flows unintentionally in their eyes.

  This is also the thing that Leng Xi has been yearning for since she was a child, but never got. Every time she sees this kind of natural affection, she will be inexplicably moved. "Bai Mu, he... what's wrong." Infected by Bai Mu's sentimental emotions, Leng Xi's heart also feels a bit heavy. She carefully asks.

  "My brother, he's gone crazy recently. He's been working non-stop and catching criminals everywhere. Wherever there's a case, he rushes to the scene immediately. And the more dangerous the place is, the more he rushes forward. He doesn't even come home anymore, can't eat, and has no time to sleep. If this continues, even Ultraman would collapse."

  Bai Xiao You walked out of the room, puffed up her cheeks and sat down beside Leng Xi, also extremely worried.

  "Ah. How can he be so careless with himself." Leng Xi was shocked.

  "Yes, who knows how he can be so careless with himself. I'll call him and ask him to come back tonight." Bai Xiao You picked up her phone and dialed the number. As long as she said that Leng Xi was at home, her brother would definitely come back.

  The phone rang twice and was hung up directly. Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help but pout in frustration.

  "How is it? Are you still not going to accept?" White Mother asked, tension and worry overflowing from her eyebrows.

  Bai Xiao shook her head dejectedly. "No one answered. I'm afraid he's fighting with the offender again."

  Bai Mu and Bai Xiao You let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

  "Brook, Aunt Cao wants you to help her with something." Bai Mu suddenly looked at Leng Xi, her expression worried and solemn.

  "You speak, I'll definitely help." Leng Xi replied immediately. Cao Ayi's worried expression made her also feel anxious. Bai Yicheng was her friend, and she felt heartbroken that he didn't take care of himself. She also wanted to lend a hand.

  "Tomorrow, I'll have Xiao You take you to a place. Yi Cheng is counting on you... Auntie is really afraid of losing him..." White Mother's words were filled with worry. The kind of concern that came from a mother was thick and heavy like fog.

  "It won't happen. Ba Li Cheng will be fine. I won't let anything happen to him." Upon hearing that he might lose Ba Li Cheng, Leng Xi's heart also tightened up.

  The so-called place where Bai Xiao Yu took Leng Xi the next night was a nightclub.

  Leng Xi stared blankly at the sign outside the door, dazed and unsure of what to do.

  "Come on in." Bai Xiao You wrapped his arm around Leng Xi's waist and led her inside.

  "But... isn't it bad for us to come to a place like this......" Leng Xi's heart was racing with fear towards such places.

  "It's okay. My brother is inside. With him there, nothing will go wrong."

  "What." Leng Xi's eyes widened in surprise. Bai Li Cheng was at the nightclub. He looked like a decent guy, didn't expect him to be like this too... A wave of disappointment slid through Leng Xi's heart.

  The nightclub was very lively. People drinking games were everywhere. Leng Xi closely followed Bai Xiao You, not daring to look around randomly.

  "Oh no." Even being very careful, she still bumped into someone. She hastily apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

  "A creek." A surprised voice sounded in front of her.
