Chapter 287: What Had He Done Wrong?

The sound of the slap echoed through the police station for a very long time.

Shui Anluo’s hand remained suspended in mid-air. The action had been so swift that no one managed to see how it had happened.

The vicious currents around Chu Ningyi’s body were so piercingly cold that it was enough to freeze everyone in the room.

“Shui Anluo, what’re you doing?” Chu Ningyi questioned in a gloomy voice. His face felt numb with a hint of soreness so it was clear to see how much force the little girl had used.

Shui Anluo glared at him with hatred and derision in her eyes. Finally, she walked past him in a rage and left the place.

Chu Ningyi clenched his fists as Shui Anluo left. He could barely control his rage but he could not let it explode. All he could do was increase the chilly air and freeze the whole room.

He had conducted this performance to dispell Shui Anluo’s insecurities towards him but not only did the girl fail to appreciate it, she had even slapped him.

Chu Ningyi swept his gaze across the group who quickly turned their eyes away and asked angrily, “What are you looking at me for? Get her!” Chu Ningyi spat and strode quickly out of the place.

Shui Anluo stepped out of the police station. She took deep breaths and tried her best to stop herself from bursting into tears.

“Shui Anluo.” Chu Ningyi quickly caught up to her and grabbed her wrist. A storm has clouded over his entire face, he did not seem to understand what he had done wrong.

The more Shui Anluo struggled, the more her wrist hurt. She gave up on struggling and stared straight up at his blackened expression.

“Director Chu, do you enjoy lying? You’re certainly highly skilled in using people,” Shui Anluo icily spat.

Chu Ningyi frowned.

“Even Yuan Jiayi’s allergic reaction had been faked, right? Had you dumped me on the side of the road on purpose and waited for that damned, vulgar man to take me away?” Shui Anluo has lost all rational sense for the moment and screamed at him, putting all the trauma she had gone through in her angry shrieks.

“Her allergic reaction was real. I did leave you there on purpose but I made sure someone was following you. Besides, Luo Xuan was there too¹.” Chu Ningyi explained monotonously. Naturally, he had a hundred percent guarantee that he would not let anything happen to her.

Shui Anluo glared at the nonchalant look on his face and laughed out of rage. However, her laugh was filled with scorn. “Chu Ningyi, that really was a good plan. Lin Qianchen is probably so humiliated that she wants to commit suicide now, right?”

Chu Ningyi’s frown deepened.

“Getting rid of her is the only way to prevent her from doing anything in the future,” Chu Ningyi explained.

“Chu Ningyi, you are a special kind of pig. Is this how you planned to protect me? You’re hurting me, hurting me! Do you have any idea how terrified I was when I realized that I was in an underground taxi driver’s car? Don’t disguise your manipulations of me as good intentions. Let me tell you this, Chu Ningyi, I, Shui Anluo, don’t need this!” Shui Anluo shrieked furiously.

Shui Anluo’s screams disappeared into the wind but vague echoes would flutter over from time to time.

“All that talk about starting over, Chu Ningyi… You never were really sincere at all. If you were, you won’t have done this in the first place,” Shui Anluo spat and she slowly pushed Chu Ningyi’s hand away. “You really don’t know anything. You’ll never love me and will never love anyone at all. You’re only good at doing whatever you what in a nonchalant manner. You’ll always have absolute certainty in everything you do because you don’t understand the meaning of ‘accidents’.” Shui Anluo sneered and quickly turned around to leave. She had no idea how to face him anymore.

Chu Ningyi stood beneath the gentle breeze and watched Shui Anluo as she slowly disappeared from his sight. He then looked down at his hand. These hands could produce clouds with one turn and rain with the other but yet could not hold onto Shui Anluo’s hand.

Chu Ningyi looked up as a rare flash of confusion appeared on his cool features. ‘What have I done wrong?’
