He was worried that Zeng Min might harm her again, which is why he did this. His thoughtfulness made her feel guilty; for a moment, she wanted to hug him and ask him to stay, but her rationality suppressed her impulse as he walked out, looking back with each step.
After calming herself and looking at Zeng Min, who had collapsed on the ground, she said, “Speak.”
Zeng Min slowly raised her head, asking, “You… you’re not going to drive me away?”
Ou Xueman responded flatly, “You’re not inherently bad, just momentarily blinded by jealousy.”
Zeng Min, excited, crawled to Ou Xueman’s window, saying, “Senior, all of this was my doing; it has nothing to do with my parents. If you’re going to arrest someone, arrest me.”
“What happened to your parents?” Ou Xueman asked, stunned. Had Di Xihuang taken action against Zeng Min’s family? Zeng Min’s father was a powerful triad boss in Macau.
“My entire family is in the hands of the Macau police. Senior, please help me,” Zeng Min pleaded, tears streaming down her face.
“How can I help you? I don’t know anyone in Macau,” Ou Xueman replied, surprised by her request.
“No, senior, please ask Xihuang to spare them. He will listen to you,” Zeng Min begged, grabbing Ou Xueman’s hand.
“Di Xihuang?” Ou Xueman was shocked, “How can he help you?”
“This operation is a collaboration between Macau and Hong Kong police. The Hong Kong police have obtained evidence to prosecute my father and want to extradite him for trial,” Zeng Min said in one breath.
Li Minji wondered if Di Xihuang was secretly manipulating this. But she knew she shouldn’t get involved. Just as she considered how to refuse Zeng Min, a commotion outside startled her as Chen Zhensheng rushed in, revealing Tong Yifeng glaring at Di Xihuang.
Anxious about the impending fight, Ou Xueman pulled Chen Zhensheng and asked, “Why did my brother come?”
“Yifeng called you all day without answer, so he called me. I told him you were in Hong Kong collaborating with the Di Group, and he rushed over. We learned you were kidnapped when we arrived,” Chen Zhensheng said, his voice filled with fear.
“How could you tell him these things? Now we’re in big trouble,” Ou Xueman replied regretfully.
