Capítulo 692: Chapter 692: Have You Considered This Bear’s Feelings?
Before going to sleep, Tang Li attached the teddy bear to her usual backpack.
To prevent the little bear from getting lost, Tang Li found an old, unwanted T-shirt from the wardrobe, cut a small piece of the cloth with scissors, and wrote her cellphone number on it, along with a phrase: “A generous reward for its return.”
Then, she borrowed Wu Xuehan’s sewing kit, took off the teddy bear’s wedding dress, and sewed the thumb-sized cloth onto the teddy bear’s butt.
It might look ugly, but it’s safe.
Tang Li was satisfied in her heart and helped the teddy bear put the wedding dress back on.
“Have you ever considered this bear’s feelings?”
Yu Sui’s voice came floating over.
Tang Li turned her head and realized that Yu Sui had been standing behind her at some point.
Yu Sui bit her straw, took a sip of yogurt, and said, “Others like Wu Xuehan treasure those Destiny Angels as family heirlooms, occasionally taking them out to bask in the sun, even giving those dolls a bath after stripping them, but you, not only did you stick needles in the teddy bear, you’ve also sewn a piece of rag onto it, it looks painful to watch.”
The next afternoon, Tang Li visited Ethan’s apartment.
Five minutes after she rang the doorbell, the apartment door cracked open just a bit.
Ethan, not seeing other people, let out a sigh of relief.
As soon as Tang Li stepped in, Ethan hurriedly closed the door.
Tang Li placed the fruits she bought on the coffee table, turned her head to see Ethan’s wan complexion, and asked with concern as if she didn’t know the reason for his condition, “Didn’t you rest well last night?”
Ethan didn’t dare to tell Tang Li about being chased.
Once Tang Li became aware of his current predicament, she would likely realize he was a fraudster.
So, he merely responded with the excuse of his wound hurting.
After a while, Tang Li suddenly said, “I saw the graffiti on the wall outside, it’s somewhat frightening, was it your brother who came looking?”
To Ethan, those words were nowhere near as frightening as the thugs at his door; just thinking about it made his whole body ache terribly.
He wanted to flee, but was afraid that the thugs were waiting downstairs.
Continuing this way was tantamount to delivering himself to death.
He had no cellphone on him, only a computer to send emails to Lai Shengxia. He didn’t accuse Lai Shengxia of hiring someone to kill him, but just mentioned the two million he had fronted and his thoughts of returning home. Thıs content belongs to novel•fire.net
He wrote it this way also as a probe towards Lai Shengxia.
Testing if there was still room for turning things around.
Until Tang Li came over, Lai Shengxia still hadn’t replied to his email.
Ethan’s anxiety grew even further.
Just at this moment, Tang Li’s voice came from beside him, “Ethan, if possible, I hope you can go to school as soon as you can.”
“Let me wait until my injuries are a bit better,” Ethan put her off.
He was struggling to protect his own life, let alone have the time to concern himself with other matters.
But Tang Li said, “I think it’s best if you go right away. Our school’s leadership has believed the forum posts and are planning to get the police involved, even possibly charging you with commercial fraud and human trafficking.”
Ethan was startled, “Charged… charged?!”
“Yeah,” Tang Li spoke as if she was unaware of his nervousness, and continued, “Especially our principal, he is very angry. He said he wants to pursue the matter to the end, so that’s why I want you to go to school as soon as possible. Since it’s your brother’s conspiracy, if you explain clearly, everything will be fine.”
Ethan clenched his fists around his pants on his lap, feeling his palms sweating.
How could everything be fine…
Once accused, he would really end up in jail.
Tang Li stayed in the apartment for half an hour before standing up to take her leave, “I have to go to IMG, I can’t stay with you any longer.”
Walking to the door, Tang Li turned her head and smiled, “Oh right, Ethan, the school has given you three days, today is the first day, only two days left. If you don’t show up, they will call the police the evening after tomorrow.”
