A Bet

After leaving Ye Wang, they returned using Meng Renshu's car, but a suffocating silence hung in the air. Like the calm before the storm, he was eerily quiet, making Li Caiyi anxious.

"Brother Renshu? I realized I hadn't thanked you for helping me out back then. Thank you."

Meng Renshu turned his gaze from the window and stared sharply at her. "Do you understand what you have done?"

"Huh?"

"The current Dai Zhiqiang is already threading on the same path as he previously was. Even knowing that, are you still going to stick with him?" 

It seemed this topic was unavoidable no matter what. Li Caiyi had seen this coming, but it still felt complicated inside. 

"I won't let the same tragedy happen to him again."

Meng Renshu sneered. "What can you do against a big group such as Ye Wang? You are just a regular girl. You are lucky this time for coming out safely after being kidnapped. Still, eventually, you will get dragged into the bigger mess."
