Chapter 1616: Chapter 1635: Going Mad
But Ding Jiaqi, in her frenzied state, had terrifying strength. Just now, taking advantage of Chen Jing’s unpreparedness, it seemed like Chen Jing was about to be strangled to death...
"Enough! Stop it." The leading woman used a clever move to rudely yank Chen Jing away from Ding Jiaqi’s hands.
As soon as Chen Jing gained her freedom, she immediately breathed heavily, like a fish out of water. When her eyes inadvertently swept over Ding Jiaqi, she couldn’t help but shiver.
Ding Jiaqi’s eyes were full of hatred, madness, and undisguised malice.
Chen Jing’s back was soaked with cold sweat, but this time it wasn’t fear. It was a blazing fury. Although she had a good temper, she wasn’t weak. She would get angry if others treated her like this, and of course, she wanted revenge for herself.
Chen Jing suddenly understood that Ding Jiaqi truly wanted her dead.
Between her and Ding Jiaqi, it was a matter of life and death.
"What’s all this fuss? I swear you all have a death wish." Amanda lowered her voice, afraid the surrounding soldiers would hear. "Forget it! Since she’s disobedient, just kill her. Don’t waste time; we’ve already gotten in here anyway."
The leading woman nodded.
They saw clearly now—despite Chen Jing’s frail appearance, she had a strong will. Ding Jiaqi, who wasn’t selfish, was easier to handle. Moreover, they were taking a big risk by keeping both of them; it was indeed troublesome.
"Ha!" Ding Jiaqi sneered, glaring triumphantly at Chen Jing and mouthing softly, "Go to hell!"
Chen Jing looked up in despair, already prepared to die. But as she raised her head, her gaze accidentally swept across the neighboring rooftop, and she saw Jiang Nanfei standing at the edge of the roof.
The two sides were very close; a simple jump would get someone across.
Chen Jing’s eyes widened in shock, but she noticed the woman on the opposite side, standing under the starlight like a beautiful fairy, had a faint smile on her lips and gestured for her to keep quiet. Chen Jing was sure that Jiang Nanfei’s eyes couldn’t see—completely, utterly blind.
But, but how...? How could she manage this?
A blind person who seemed just like a normal person. No... her reactions, her expressions, and her mental fortitude surpassed that of normal people by far.
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Chen Jing’s mind, and all the previous despair was replaced by overwhelming joy. She didn’t need to betray her friends or die.
She believed that since Jiang Nanfei was here, Huo Beijiang must be nearby.
No! Considering how much Huo Beijiang cherished Jiang Nanfei, he certainly wasn’t just nearby.
Nan Fei had a faint, cold smile on her lips. She had heard all these people’s conversations while lying on the deck chair. Her feelings towards Ding Jiaqi were no longer just simple disgust. Previously, she was willing to let Ding Jiaqi leave because she hadn’t actually done anything harmful to others, but now was different.
Since she had betrayed everyone and sought death herself, she couldn’t blame Nan Fei for being ruthless.
Nan Fei quietly clenched her fists, lifting her long, straight legs slightly. Even though she couldn’t see, it didn’t hinder her actions.
With people already quietly encircling the area tightly, Huo Beijiang barely had time to light a cigarette for himself before he noticed that his wife hadn’t listened and stayed obediently in the deck chair.
