Chapter 801: Only by His Side Can I Be at ease (1)
Zuo Hancheng’s words were exactly the answer he gave J, who immediately let go of Anhao’s hand.
Anhao stared in Zuo Hancheng’s direction. Although his gaze was cold, perhaps he blamed her for leaving his sight because of Zuo Yue, but no matter what, the place she missed the most was where Zuo Hancheng was.
Even if he was the rage of the heavens, even if she died, she would die by his side, not by the hands of these strangers.
Anhao’s feet moved slowly. For the first time in her life, she felt that the road ahead was so long that she almost lost her patience.
Actually, it was only seven or eight meters. She was very weak now and walked very quickly, but she was still very slow.
“Since Vllen has decided to meet Mr. Arel, let’s meet at the usual place in New York tomorrow. As for Mrs. Zuo, she was badly injured by the Russians. I asked the maid to help her bathe and change her clothes. I hope I didn’t offend Mrs. Zuo.”Even though Anhao didn’t look behind her, J still spoke. He sounded a little happy.
Anhao ignored him and walked straight to Zuo Hancheng.
Zuo Hancheng’s cold gaze swept across J’s body, but he did not give him any reply. It was not until Anhao walked up to him that Anhao’s eyes turned slightly red. However, she could not show her fear. The previous dangers had passed, and she was not as scary as before in front of Zuo Hancheng. So, what was there to be afraid of?
Zuo Hancheng pulled Anhao into his arms. Anhao staggered as she could feel his anger. When he grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind him, Anhao could not help but let out a soft groan because of the excruciating pain on her wrist.
Zuo Hancheng let go of her wrist and turned around to look at her face, which was even paler than before due to the pain. He lifted her hand again and pulled her snow-white sleeves open. He saw the bleeding marks on her wrists from the rope. Both her wrists were red. The pain was already unbearable when she was bathing, let alone being held.
Anhao could not care less about the coldness in Zuo Hancheng’s eyes. She always felt at ease when she was beside him. She shook her head and said,”” I’m fine. It was the Russians who kidnapped me. I should be glad that they kidnapped me. Otherwise, with Zuo Yue’s current condition, she probably wouldn’t be able to withstand their torture…”
“Zuo Yue is not as stupid as you.” Zuo Hancheng said coldly, but his tone was still much softer, as if he was afraid of scaring her.”In the past two to three years that she followed Xu Chengfeng, she had been through life and death situations from time to time. She knew how to escape when that kind of person approached. Only you would be stupid enough to push her away and let her run first.”
Zuo Hancheng only said that, but he did not really blame her for being naive this time.
She had never come into contact with these people, unlike Zuo Yue who had already come into contact with people in this circle, so she knew how to protect herself. Although Anhao was brave and resourceful, it was useless to deal with such a desperate person.
She was taken away by those people when they were fishing in the abandoned building. At least she knew how to talk to those fugitives and how to stall for time and save her life.
Zuo Hancheng was relieved that his woman was not so fragile that she would curl up in a corner and wait for death after being kidnapped.
“I really didn’t expect that Vllen, who is almost a woman’s insulation, would one day return here for his wife. Mrs. Zuo, I don’t know if it’s the greatest honor of your life to be able to become Vllen’s weakness or Vllen’s disaster.”
J did not seem to notice the coldness in Zuo Hancheng’s eyes. He was not the one who caused Mrs. Zuo’s injuries anyway. Although he brought her here to threaten him to meet Mr. Arel, at least he did not hurt her out of respect for Vllen. Based on Vllen’s understanding of him, even if he did not explain, she would know that he would not do anything to Mrs. Zuo.
However, Anhao felt extremely uncomfortable hearing these sarcastic words. She looked up in J’s direction and saw that J was smiling triumphantly.
“Has the wound on your back split open?”Zuo Hancheng did not seem to care about J at all. He ignored J’s words and looked at Anhao’s pale face. He lifted both of her hands at the same time and saw the injury on her wrist. Then, he looked down and saw the same injury on her ankle.
“No.” Anhao shook her head.
Zuo Hancheng obviously did not believe her. If it was just a superficial wound on her hands and feet, her expression would not be so bad.
However, now was not the time to be calculative. Anhao did not wait for him to speak again and asked softly,””Who is that Mr. Arel? I think I heard that J say that he’s…”
When Anhao mentioned Mr. Arel’s name, she did not know if she was mistaken, but she actually saw a trace of complicated emotions in Zuo Hancheng’s eyes. He looked at her face and after a few seconds, he held her hand.”These things have nothing to do with you. You don’t have to ask anything. Now that you’ve seen the danger, listen to my arrangements obediently. Don’t think about helping anyone.”
Anhao did not understand his gaze just now, but everyone here had weapons in their hands. She did not know if the people Zuo Hancheng brought had weapons, but it was obvious that although Zuo Hancheng had come prepared today, he did not intend to go against them.
And that J was merely using her to threaten Zuo Hancheng. He did not seem to have any intention of completely falling out with Zuo Hancheng.
He only asked Zuo Hancheng to meet Mr. Arel.
Even if these people were not outlaws, they were not simple people. Zuo Hancheng was being threatened because of her. If he went to see Mr. Arel, would there be any consequences that she could not predict? Would it endanger his life?
She suddenly reached out and tugged at the cuffs of his black shirt.”If it’s dangerous to meet that Mr. Arel, can you not meet him?”
D could hear their conversation from the side. His eyes turned cold, but he did not say anything. He only looked at Zuo Hancheng, waiting for his orders.
Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao’s pale face and suddenly pulled her hand away. He said,””D, send Madam to the car.”
“Yes.” D walked over to Anhao and said respectfully,””Mrs. Zuo, please get into the car with us first. Leave this to Mr. Zuo.”
Anhao had just returned to Zuo Hancheng’s side. She did not want to leave at all, but she glanced at the cars outside and then at the tense atmosphere.
” Mr. Zuo has already agreed to meet Mr. Arel, so J won’t dare to touch him. Mrs. Zuo, don’t worry. Follow me to the car. You’re already injured. If this continues, Mr. Zuo will be even more worried about you.”D added.
