At this point, she became emotional and tried to pry Xia Xingkong's hand away. Xia Xingkong held it tightly and refused to let go.
Xia Xingchen exerted a lot of effort and finally pulled herself away. Xia Xingkong suddenly stood up and pulled out a knife from somewhere. He pointed it at her fiercely, "Xia Xingchen, my mom has ended up like this because of you! If you don't help my mom, you won't have an easy life either!"
She spoke with gritted teeth, as if she wanted to bite Xia Xingchen into pieces.
The hand holding the knife handle was shaking a little. The blade looked even colder in the sunlight.
Xia Xingchen thought she was crazy.
She looked around and finally fixed her gaze on Xia Xingkong. Her expression became colder. "There are surveillance cameras everywhere. Besides, this is the entrance to the office. If you don't want to go to jail like Li Lingyi, you'd better put the knife away immediately!"
After she said that, she turned and left, not wanting to waste any more time talking to her.
When Xia Xingkong thought about how she had lost her fiancé and her job because of Xia Xingchen, and now her family was broken and she had no mother by her side, while Xia Xingchen was getting better and better, she felt more and more unbalanced and hated her more and more.
The hatred that surged up made her completely lose her mind.
"Xia Xingchen, I hate you!"
She gritted her teeth and rushed forward. Xia Xingchen's heart trembled, and she turned around. Seeing the knife coming towards her, she instinctively raised her hand to block it. The sharp blade passed through her palm, and blood oozed out immediately.
Xia Xingkong's eyes turned red, and she raised her hand to move forward again. However, before she could hurt Xia Xingchen again, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out. The next moment, Xia Xingkong felt a sharp pain in his chest, and was kicked several meters away by the huge force. His body hit the clock column in the center of the square heavily, and he fell down with a "bang", rolling several times on the ground.
The knife in his hand could no longer be held firmly and fell to the ground.
It took Xia Xingchen a while to come back to her senses. She pressed her injured palm and glanced sideways, and saw Rui Gang standing aside, still standing there. He stared at Xia Xingkong fiercely, and the murderous intent in his eyes was particularly terrifying.
"Rui Gang." Xia Xingchen called him.
"Ms. Xia, how are you?!" Rui Gang stopped and looked at her hand worriedly.
Xia Xingkong really didn't hold back his strength, the knife cut into his palm fiercely and heavily, leaving a long wound that was now bleeding continuously.
"I'll take you to the hospital right now!" Rui Gang said nervously.
Xia Xingchen nodded, and subconsciously glanced at Xia Xingkong on the ground.
Rui Gang was born a special forces soldier, and he was very skilled. Although he had reserved his strength in that kick, Xia Xingkong was still injured. It took her a long time to come to her senses. She supported herself on the ground with her hands and tried to get up, but as soon as she moved, she vomited blood. Her chest hurt so much that she couldn't breathe. She was afraid that her sternum was broken, but she didn't know if her internal organs were injured.
Xia Xingchen didn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, this was the president's office, and Rui Gang was the president's man. If Xia Xingkong couldn't stand the kick and got hurt, the nature of the matter would be different.
"Rui Gang, call an ambulance and send her to the hospital. Don't let anything happen to her!"
"Don't worry, he won't die. I know what's going on." Rui Gang said, and called an ambulance.
… … …
Jing Yu treated Xia Xingchen's wound. As soon as he finished bandaging it, the police came. Rui Gang called the police and wanted to sue Xia Xingkong for intentional injury.
Xia Xingchen handed over the matter to Rui Gang. No matter what the outcome of Xia Xingkong was, it was all her own fault. No sympathy was given to her.
As a result, her hand was injured and she could no longer drive. So, when she got off work in the afternoon, she sat directly in the passenger seat and Rui Gang became the driver.
This is actually a good thing, she feels relieved.
After returning to the Presidential Palace, I simply dressed myself and had dinner with my children. It was already dark.
After helping her child finish his homework, she still didn't feel sleepy at all. What Li Ming said this afternoon had already disturbed her mind, and after being disturbed by Xia Xingkong, her mood became even heavier.
He hasn't come back yet, and no one knows when he will come back. Xia Xingchen went to the study to read a book. Her eyes casually swept across the bookshelf, and she picked up a book that was about the modern history of Country S.
Turning to the first chapter, it introduces Bai Yeqing's uncle, Mr. Bai Qingrang.
She leaned against the bookshelf and read with curiosity. Time passed, and in a short while, she had read ten pages. She turned to the last section, and there was a black-and-white photo of Mr. Bai Qingrang below. Compared with Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai Qingrang seemed much more friendly.
The photo was taken when he was young. His facial features were as gentle as jade and his overall image was that of a modest gentleman.
Xia Xingchen looked at it, and her eyes fell on the jade pendant on his chest. She was slightly stunned for a moment. This jade pendant seemed familiar no matter how she looked at it.
Holding the book, she subconsciously walked away from the bookshelf, ran to the desk, brightened the desk lamp, and moved the book closer.
The pattern on the jade pendant was not very clear, and Xia Xingchen looked at it carefully again, becoming more and more certain that he had seen it before. However, he could not think of where he had seen it before.
While I was thinking hard, a dark shadow loomed over me.
"looking at what?"
The man's deep voice rang in her ears, disrupting her thoughts.
She was startled and looked up.
Under the light and shadow, Bai Yeqing's handsome face came into her eyes. She smiled and said, "When did you come in? I didn't hear any sound."
"Just came in. What are you looking at so intently?" Bai Yeqing took the book from her hand. He took a look and asked, "Are you interested in my uncle?"
"I always hear you mention him, so I just took a look. But I was just looking at the jade pendant he was wearing."
"What's there to see?"
"I don't know. I just think it looks familiar. I feel like I've seen it before. But I can't remember where I've seen it before."
"I heard that this thing was passed down from my great-grandfather's generation. There is only one. Later, my uncle gave it to Madam Lanting. Now, this thing may still be in Madam Lanting's possession. Are you sure this is the one you have seen?"
Xia Xingchen smiled and said, "Then I must have seen it wrong. However, jade pendants are generally like this. Maybe what I have seen is similar!"
Xia Xingchen didn't think about it anymore.
Bai Yeqing closed the book and his eyes immediately fell on her palm. The gauze wrapped around the middle of her palm made him frown and he grabbed her hand, "What's going on?"
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
"How did it come about?" The wrinkles between his brows did not relax at all.
Xia Xingchen then told Bai Yeqing about what happened to Xia Xingkong today. Bai Yeqing's eyes were somewhat gloomy, "If that's the case, she shouldn't blame me for being ruthless!"
