Chapter 431: Definitely Not a Coincidence
Ning Qi walked down the road, her heart still a bit nervous. Although she’d dealt with Lin Xi, would things really go as Qian Ying said they would?
"I’m sorry, Lin Xi, but they came for you, there’s no reason I should take on that responsibility." Ning Qi didn’t want to be manipulated by Qian Ying forever. She was more than willing to sacrifice Lin Xi for her freedom. In her view, trouble had always followed Lin Xi, so there was no reason to feel guilty. Ning Qi even felt that she had been unnecessarily dragged into all this.
Ning Qi found her car and drove it back as Qian Ying requested, intending to take Lin Xi away.
However, an unexpected event occurred. Someone abruptly dashed across the road, startling Ning Qi. She quickly hit the brakes, but it was too late and the pedestrian seemed to be knocked down.
Ning Qi went pale and quickly got out of the car to check on the person. To her surprise, it was Gu Fan.
Gu Fan also recognized the driver as Ning Qi. He feigned surprise, then got up, clutching his leg, and said, "Old friend, it’s been a while. Is this how you greet me?"
"I didn’t mean to. But why did you suddenly appear?" Ning Qi gave an awkward smile, relieved that Gu Fan was not seriously hurt.
Gu Fan sighed, "That was close, really close. Lucky for me, I’m robust. Otherwise..." He paused, grimacing in pain.
"Are you okay?" Ning Qi appeared concerned, but she suspected Gu Fan was up to something.
