Chapter 426: Yu Xi's Crushing Defeat

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong: Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

Yu Xi lowered her eyelashes in pain, so painful she was about to suffocate.

"Starting tomorrow, I'll have you sent to Myanmar. You're on your own," Leng Ruoli's gaze was icy. "It's a dark country. Fittingly, you suit the darkness."

What would happen in Myanmar, Leng Ruoli knew nothing about.

But she will absolutely not let the person who harmed her and Jiang Muye keep living happily.

Yu Xi trembled. He tried to fix his eyes on Leng Ruoli, hoping to soften her even a little.

But she remained cold as ice and frost.

"Don't you want to know how I found out about what happened six years ago?" Yu Xi was still trying to find himself a turn of fortune.

"It doesn't matter anymore. I know the result, and that's enough," Leng Ruoli replied icily.

She already knew the truth, and she already possessed what she cared about most.

Why would she still care how Yu Xi found out?

Besides, she could already look that part of the past in the eye. No one was going to threaten her.

Leng Ruoli walked away on her high heels, fearless.

Yu Xi had been utterly defeated. His handsome face was deathly pale, and he clutched his aching chest and roared at the top of his lungs.

"Let me go!" Yu Xi instinctively wanted to escape this place that held him captive.

However, there were people specifically posted at the door. There was no way anyone was letting Yu Xi out.

Yu Xi felt as though he had returned to the days when he was a canary, locked up just like this.

The air around him gave Yu Xi a suffocating sense of breathlessness.

Yu Xi had lost completely.

Was there no hope at all of turning defeat into victory?

No, there still was.

There was no way his luck could be this bad, losing all the way through.

So Yu Xi grabbed his phone and made a call.

"Hello." After hearing the other end pick up, Yu Xi said anxiously, "Help me. Tomorrow I'm being taken out of the country, to Myanmar. Leng Ruoli knows the truth now. She won't let me off easily."

Yu Xi was now pinning all his hopes on Huo Zhenghao.

"Oh. Then don't call me anymore!" Huo Zhenghao's voice was ice-cold.

Yu Xi's expression turned uglier than words could describe. He simply couldn't believe what his ears were hearing. "What did you say?"

"I said—" Huo Zhenghao paused, "have a safe trip, enjoy your travels, oh, and we don't need to keep in touch anymore."

After hearing Huo Zhenghao's words, Yu Xi's emotions became extremely agitated. "Aren't we friends! I've ended up like this because of you, and now you're going to burn the bridge? Do you have any idea I've lost everything!"

But Huo Zhenghao answered sharply, "I have a ton of things to deal with right now. I can barely save myself. What could I possibly do to help you!"

"Take out a few bodyguards, get me out of the hospital, that you can at least do," Yu Xi said, gritting his teeth.

"Yeah, but there's no need to get on Leng Ruoli's bad side again for your sake." Huo Zhenghao replied in displeasure, "I don't have the ability to go up against them right now. You can only blame yourself for being stupid, for letting them find out you'd shown your hand. I haven't even come to settle accounts with you, and here you are demanding answers from me!"

Huo Zhenghao spoke viciously, "I've got nothing left either, and it's all your fault! If I'd known you were this stupid, I never would have worked with you!"

Yu Xi's throat went numb. "Aren't we… friends? We had such good times together… You said you'd keep me safe, you said I'd get a fresh start, that I'd begin again! None of that counts anymore?"

"Are you three years old? You believe verbal promises? Yes, back at the orphanage we were friends, but I was friends with you because it was profitable. You were the best-looking, those holy-mother types of sisters liked you the most, so I could mooch tasty food off you." Huo Zhenghao said with disgust, "Later, when I met you and said I'd save you, that was all bullshit!"

Yu Xi felt the blood in his whole body turn cold.

They hadn't met in person, but just hearing Huo Zhenghao's ice-cold words over the phone, he was about to faint.

His heart had a sharp, piercing pain. Every breath he took hurt so much it bled.

"Just using me the whole time?" The corners of Yu Xi's mouth held something bitter, and even his words trembled.

"What else? Did you really think you could be friends with me? You're so filthy, do you deserve friends!" Huo Zhenghao cursed, "Don't tell me you're a fag and you've got a thing for me. I'm gonna fucking puke!"

Yu Xi's last thread of reason nearly snapped.

His eyes turned scarlet red.

"Huo Zhenghao, fine if we can't be friends," Yu Xi's voice carried exhaustion, "then are we going to be enemies."

After sensing the wrongness in Yu Xi's tone, Huo Zhenghao felt a bit panicked. "What are you going to do?"

"Should I use you to bribe Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli? After all, right now only using you can vent their anger. Using you sounds pretty good. I hold the evidence of your crimes in my hands, huff, you personally pushed the Chen Group's chairman down the stairs with your own hands…" Yu Xi gave a sinister smile, "Tsk tsk tsk, that face was captured crystal clear."

Yu Xi's words turned Huo Zhenghao's expression uglier than words could describe.

What had been exposed about him so far was only on the moral level. At most he'd pay back some taxes and get cursed at a bit.

But if the matter of him pushing the chairman down the stairs got exposed, he'd be cursed by the whole world, and he'd go to prison!

If he went to prison, he'd have absolutely no chance of a comeback.

Huo Zhenghao realized the severity of the situation, and he instinctively began begging Yu Xi. "I was just joking just now, how could I possibly not treat you as a friend? You just want me to save you, right, there's nothing wrong with that. Which room in the hospital are you in? I'll have people figure out a way to get you out right away."

Yu Xi felt only irony. "Hm, didn't you think people like me don't deserve friends? Why do you think you're my friend now."

"I said it was a joke, haha, you're really funny, I was just too angry, saying things in anger. How could I possibly not treat you as a friend. Our friendship is priceless, and besides, the only person you can count on now is me. We're people of the same world."

After hearing Huo Zhenghao try to gloss things over and fob him off, the corners of Yu Xi's mouth curled up. "Very well, then let's wish our friendship everlasting, for a long, long time."

Yu Xi's gaze fell on the noisy world outside, instinctively turning cold.

Night fell. Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli had just been in the cinema watching a newly released film when his phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from his secretary.

Afraid of disturbing Jiang Muye, who was watching with a serious face beside him, Jiang Muye went out to the fire escape corridor to take the call.

"Hello," Jiang Muye asked.

The secretary's anxious voice rang out. "This is bad! Young Master Jiang, Yu Xi ran away!"

Jiang Muye was alarmed. "Impossible! Aren't there so many people watching him!"

Yu Xi was a dangerous element.

Especially now, after going through an experience like that, he would definitely blame him and Leng Ruoli fiercely.

If Yu Xi pulled some scheme again at a time like this, what was he supposed to do!
