The sound of the door opening came very suddenly, shocking Weiai and the two bodyguards.
As they stripped, they stopped in their tracks and turned to look at the door.
As for Weiai, just like a porcupine with quills, she held on tightly to the knife and refused to let go of it.
Very quickly, a white, elegant figure entered the room.
He raised his eyes and saw what was happening.
At a corner, the two bodyguards were trying to remove their clothes and similarly, the girl in front of them was not properly dressed. There were injuries on her body and she had her back pressed against the wall, holding a knife tightly in her hand in a dangerous situation.
One could easily guess what was about to happen.
Due to this, Ning Yuan’s face, which was usually gentle, turned cold.
Perhaps it was because he was always kind and polite and he was always smiling. Thus, upon seeing his current expression in a situation like that, even a dummy would be able to comprehend that their actions had brought trouble upon them.
At that moment, they went weak at their knees and stammered. “Ning… Young Master Ning…”
At that moment, they had totally forgotten about the gang rape and were wondering what was the actual identity of the girl. She had offended the Second Young Mistress and there was no need to worry the Young Master with a word from the Second Young Mistress.
However, why did Young Master Ning appear so suddenly?!
They did not dare to make a sound as they looked at Ning Yuan and immediately backed away.
At the same time, accompanied by the sound of her heels, Su Meiya followed behind Ning Yuan into the basement again.
Realizing that the bodyguards had not managed to hurt Xia Weiai, she felt annoyed and relieved at the same time. If Ning Yuan witnessed the gang-raping scene, she would not be able to deny it as she told him previously that she was the one who ordered the bodyguards to punish her.
She would not be able to escape scot-free if something happened.
“Little girl…”
As Ning Yuan walked towards her slowly, Weiai’s blood-covered body made his heart ache.
She must have been terrified and hence, was behaving like a hurt animal who had lost all strength and was weeping.
“Stay away.”
Weiai insisted, turning the knife to face him and becoming even more guarded.
Ning Yuan was educated in human psychology. He could tell that she was in fear. So, he said comfortingly, “Little girl, look, it is me! Ning Yuan! I am here to save you, not to hurt you.”
His voice was gentle and warm.
Weiai opened her eyes in shock and looked at the man’s angel-like face. She suddenly realized that the man in her heart was also as warm as him. She could no longer withstand it. Weiai leaned on the wall and slowly fell to the ground as she realized that she was finally out of hell.
Ning Yuan walked forward carefully and reached his hands out towards her in pity.
Weiai did not let go of the knife. It was obvious that she was still on her guard.
However, as she looked up at the man and made sure that he did not mean any harm, she reached out and placed a hand onto his. She felt dizzy and the injuries on her body were stinging in pain. This made her voice weak.
However, as Ning Yuan was beside her, he could make out some of her words. “Ning Yuan… save me… I am scared…”
At that moment, as he looked at the face that resembled Tong Hua, pain pierced his heart.
“Little girl, don’t be scared. I am here.”
As he said that, he reached out to rearrange Weiai’s clothes. He then moved his hands down and carried her in his arms.
Su Meiya was shocked at the sight, and it only worsened her hatred for Weiai.
As Ning Yuan made to leave with Weiai in his arms, coldness crept up his heart as he walked past the two bodyguards. Hence, he turned around and wanted to punish them. However, Weiai, who was in his arms, began to tremble when she saw them and she tightened her arms around his neck.
He realized her fear. Ning Yuan stopped in his tracks and said coldly, “Touch her? I think the both of you are looking for death!”
