Chapter 1467: Chapter 1486: The Grace of Saving a Life
She believed she could protect herself. After being betrayed by Zhuanzhuan in two lifetimes, no one could bring her down. No one could exploit her anymore. If anyone thought she would soften, or become blind and easy to manipulate because of love, they were gravely mistaken.
She cared about love and loved Huo Beijiang deeply. But precisely because of this love, she would never drag Huo Beijiang down, even if it meant cutting off her own hand like a decisive warrior or losing everything.
He Shasha sneaked a glance at Nan Fei, feeling increasingly uneasy. It wasn’t fear, but rather an awareness that Nan Fei had changed greatly, changed in many ways. At this point, even He Shasha could no longer read what was going through Nan Fei’s mind.
Moreover, many of the things Nan Fei had been doing recently gave off an air of inscrutability.
He Shasha suppressed these thoughts. Regardless of how Nan Fei changed, as long as she was certain Nan Fei wouldn’t harm her, that was enough. She would steadfastly support Nan Fei in any circumstances—after all, wasn’t she Nan Fei’s best friend?
“Over there,” He Shasha pointed to a spot in the corner.
Nan Fei looked over and immediately spotted Leng Tianqi sitting in the most secluded sofa booth, head down, exuding a casual indifference. Narrowing her eyes slightly, Nan Fei recalled that the last time she had met Leng Ran here, she had vaguely sensed someone following her.
However, since the other party didn’t show strong hostility, she hadn’t bothered to expose them. Looking back now, it was probably Leng Tianqi. Chances are, during that previous tailing, Leng Tianqi had been sitting in the very same spot.
The world always underestimated Leng Tianqi, thinking she couldn’t compare to Leng Ran. But in Nan Fei’s view, that might not necessarily be true.
If Leng Tianqi were truly incapable, she would have long perished at Zhuanzhuan’s hands. Yet with Zhuanzhuan now imprisoned and Leng Tianqi still alive and well, it proved she had some skills up her sleeve.
Leng Tianqi also noticed Nan Fei and immediately stood up politely from her seat.
After the three of them sat down, Leng Tianqi spoke with a respectful demeanor, “I’ve been so ignorant in the past. I want to sincerely thank you for saving me twice. If it hadn’t been for you, I’d have been dead by now.”
Nan Fei lightly curved her lips and asked, “Oh? Which two times are you referring to?”
“The first time was when you went to the school to find Jiang Zhuanzhuan, and the second was on Christmas at Leng Ran’s villa.” Honestly, she didn’t have much recollection of the first time, but the villa incident had absolutely petrified her, almost scaring her soul out of her body. It wasn’t until He Shasha secretly led her out of the chaos that she calmed down and pieced together the events, breaking into a cold sweat.
The reason she had plotted to take advantage of the Christmas banquet to find an opportunity to kill Leng Ran was Jiang Zhuanzhuan. If it weren’t for Jiang Zhuanzhuan, she never would have concocted such a plan.
She had to admit Jiang Zhuanzhuan had greatly influenced her. Unfortunately, the plan was too naïve and crude. Her intentions had been obvious to Leng Ran from the start, who used them against her, aiming to kill her instead.
If not for Jiang Nanfei’s exceptionally quick reflexes and combat skills, she’d have fallen to her death that day. This also reminded her of Jiang Nanfei’s first visit to the school to see Jiang Zhuanzhuan—at that time, she had been orchestrating her schemes against Jiang Zhuanzhuan. From Jiang Zhuanzhuan’s gaze, she had sensed a murderous intent directed at herself.
But she had been too arrogant, believing her abilities made Jiang Zhuanzhuan nothing more than a pawn to be used, so she hadn’t taken it seriously.
Looking back now, if it weren’t for Jiang Zhuanzhuan’s fear of being noticed by Jiang Nanfei, she might have already made her move against her.
She had always wanted to kill her.
