Chapter 349: Chapter 349

Ji Yu was very worried about his health.

But since he said there wasn’t any major issue, there was really no need to keep chasing these matters.

"Now that you’ve seen him, hurry back and get ready to help my son get out. Someone in his situation needs to be released quickly, or who knows how much hardship he’ll endure inside."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yu genuinely thought they had reached a level of shamelessness beyond belief. How could there be people ?

Clearly, it was them who had done something incredibly wrong, yet they spoke as though they were the victims.

And wasn’t Wang Baiquan being locked up entirely his own doing?

They had absolutely no idea how much torment the people he bullied were suffering right now.

Ji Yu took a deep breath. When she thought about their eventual fate, she didn’t feel as angry anymore. Since things had come this far, there really wasn’t any need to dwell on it further.

After leaving, she went directly to the police station. Due to previous issues with the paperwork, it was still very difficult to get Wang Baiquan released.

But thanks to Hong’s assistance, Ji Yu managed to resolve the matter quite smoothly.

When Wang Baiquan was released, he was unbearably arrogant. He looked at Ji Yu with a smug grin and said, "Don’t think that just because you have some connections, you can easily bully me. I’m not someone who can be locked up."

He acted with complete confidence, yet Ji Yu didn’t say a word.

He might be proud now, but only they knew what kind of ending awaited him.

Thinking about this, Ji Yu’s smile grew even brighter.

"Let’s talk about what comes next later."

She was determined to see what kind of ending someone like him would eventually face.

Her words made him feel uneasy.

As for Lu Xingchen, Ji Yu personally went to pick him up.

Although Lu Xingchen hadn’t been bullied much during this time, seeing him still made Ji Yu feel deeply guilty.

"The grievances you’ve endured today won’t be in vain. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you sort everything out."

Actually, at this point, Lu Xingchen didn’t care about anything else. He only knew that Ji Yu mattered greatly to him.

He had fallen for Ji Yu again in the midst of her saving him, but the problem was that Ji Yu still didn’t seem to return his feelings.

His smile was full of bitterness.

However, Ji Yu wasn’t paying attention to this at all right now.

Getting him to the hospital was what finally resolved the issue completely.

"Lu Xingchen, you have to issue a statement regarding this matter. Gu Qixiao will deal with the Wang family’s situation. Once the Wang family declares bankruptcy, their father and son will be at the mercy of your fans to criticize them."

Ji Yu was determined to bring down the Wang family. Allowing people like them to stay in business was a loss for everyone.

Who knew who the next victim would be?

At this point, Lu Xingchen certainly followed Ji Yu’s instructions.

"Yu, don’t worry about me. I’ll take care of everything myself. Thank you for helping me."

He fully understood just how difficult it was for Ji Yu to do what she had done.

Ji Yu looked at him and smiled. "You don’t need to think that this is overly complicated. I can only achieve this with the help of others."

If she had to handle this matter entirely on her own, it would still be quite challenging.

But he didn’t care how Ji Yu managed to get it done. "Yu, to me, you’re my savior. Compared to that, the things I’ve done for you are truly insignificant. You don’t need to concern yourself with them."

His eyes were filled with warmth as he looked at Ji Yu.

Ji Yu knew that he probably still had feelings for her, but such feelings were truly unnecessary.

"I think there may be some misunderstanding between us. I don’t love you. What I did today was because we’re friends, and this matter is related to me. Plus, you’ve been kind to me, so I really don’t think there’s anything here that requires you to thank me."

Such acts of gratitude often inadvertently lead to emotional connections, but Ji Yu believed she was simply doing what she could.

What she had done was nothing more than repaying him.

It wasn’t because she liked him.

"Yu, I don’t know if you believe me, but my feelings for you don’t need you to respond. You can consider me your backup option for the future."

Ji Yu’s eyes widened immediately. "Are you out of your mind? You’re a renowned actor, how could you willingly become someone’s backup in such matters?"

It was truly absurd for him to willingly play the role of a backup.

Besides, with someone as outstanding as him, wasn’t he capable of finding someone else who could move his heart?

"If you don’t like it, I can hold back. But you can call on me whenever you wish—that’s the privilege I’ve reserved for you. This is just how I see things, so you absolutely don’t need to feel any mental pressure. Love works sometimes."

He didn’t want Ji Yu to feel burdened by this. Besides, there wasn’t much to say about complicated feelings anyway.

Faced with him now, Ji Yu suddenly felt a little helpless. "You really leave me at a loss for words. I think you’re fine just the way you are now. It’s much better to search for someone suitable for you than to hang around me."

She hadn’t expected that someone like Lu Xingchen would be so foolish when it came to matters of the heart. He seemed to excel in every way, but in love, he couldn’t seem to stay clear-headed.

"You should wake up a bit and don’t take these things too seriously."

Anyone who takes love matters too seriously is nothing short of a fool.

Looking at the person in front of her, she could only hope he would understand this principle.

"I understand what you mean. You don’t need to doubt me—I’m very calm and clear-headed."

But sometimes love has a way of making people consciously sink deeper, like the situation before them. Wasn’t it great ? Google seaʀᴄh novᴇlfire.net

He could remain by Ji Yu’s side as a friend, or even as a backup. Ji Yu didn’t need to bear any burden.

"Yu, don’t think this situation is terrible. For both you and me, it carries the same meaning."

He didn’t want Ji Yu to consider this a bad scenario. After all, his love was something he could openly display.

"You can treat me as a friend. However we interacted before, we can continue to interact that way now. I’ll wish you and Gu Qixiao well, but I won’t change my feelings."

By this point, Ji Yu was utterly helpless. She truly couldn’t comprehend what sort of obsessive thought process led to this stance. Was love really ?

"You really do manage to take people by surprise."

A well-known actor, yet such a hopeless romantic. Who wouldn’t be shocked upon witnessing this?

"Hurry up and issue the statement. Gu Qixiao has likely already made preparations."
