Ye Xi's eyes widened a bit as she instantly grasped Lu Lingxiao's intention.
"They'll really be okay with this?"
Without thinking, Ye Xi already knew what would await Fan Ying shortly.
Lu Lingxiao pulled Ye Xi, who was still looking back, "I'll handle the rest, let's go."
...
Back in the car, Lu Lingxiao made another phone call.
After ending the call, he asked Ye Xi, "If I hadn't come tonight and you were the one locked up... now, would you still want to plead for them?"
Ye Xi didn't intend to plead, she was simply worried that Lu Lingxiao's actions might cause trouble for himself.
Through the dim light, Lu Lingxiao gazed into Ye Xi's eyes and seemed to suddenly understand after a moment.
He then smiled, stroked her soft hair, and said, "Don't worry, they can't do anything to me, nor do they dare to."
Ye Xi's gaze became distant for a second; she felt she had been overthinking.
