Chapter 492: She Wasn’t That Stupid

“No, I know that you definitely would do it again. You knew what fatal harm and consequences it would bring. You knew very clearly how serious it was. After all, the consequences could have been devastating to me. Getting rid of me would have done you no harm and in fact would have been good for you. That is what you wished for the most. You wouldn’t have shown any hesitation.”

“No…you’re wrong. I wouldn’t have. Believe me! As long as you help me this time, I will never be your enemy again. I promise.”

“Why should I help you? Free a time bomb that threatens me and risk all that trouble? Do I look that stupid?”

Her clear eyes gleamed with a cold light as she sneered. “Li Sinuo, you deserve everything that has happened to you today and in the future. From the beginning, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Don’t expect me to save you now.”

“Yun Xi, please help me! No one can help me except you. I don’t want to go to jail. I have to go to college…”

After an entire night of worrying with her imagination running wild, Li Sinuo had thought about all the various consequences and various endings that were awaiting her, and she couldn’t accept any of them.

Turning her head abruptly, she looked at the dignified man standing behind Yun Xi, exuding the extraordinary aura of his blue-blooded background.

She knew who it was without even asking. Since Yun Xi refused to help her, she decided to place all her hopes on that man.

“Young Marshal Mu…Young Marshal Mu, please help me… I don’t want to go to jail. I swear I did nothing. I’m innocent… Please let me go…”

His sharp eyes seemed to be able to see right through her. Mu Feichi raised his cold eyes and his voice didn’t contain the slightest emotion. “There’s no use in begging me. I listen to her.”

“…” Li Sinuo didn’t give up. At this time, she couldn’t have cared less about her self-esteem or pride. As long as she could get out of jail, she didn’t care about anything else.

After all, things were different this time. This case involved drugs, so her entire life would basically be ruined.

“Yun Xi, please, as long as you help me this time, I’m willing to do anything you ask me to do, please…”

“You chose this path yourself. I can’t help you.”

Yun Xi looked at Li Sinuo coldly. She had probably never expected such a day to come.

She had used Li Sinuo’s own methods against her, and then made Lin Sen the scapegoat while she’d reaped all the benefits.

Not only would Li Sinuo be unable to get rid of the shame of being incriminated in drugs, but she also couldn’t implicate Yun Xi in anything, so Yun Xi was basically killing two birds with one stone.

“Let’s go.” Mu Feichi stretched out his hand and pulled on Yun Xi’s arm.

Behind them, Li Sinuo stretched out her hands from between the bars and yelled with all her strength, “Yun Xi, please help me! Please…”

Yun Xi didn’t turn around. Even though the crying and pleading behind her were extremely pitiful and miserable, she wasn’t moved at all.

To be kind to one’s enemy was to be cruel to oneself. Li Sinuo was a person who would never repent and had no bottom line. Even if she let her go this time, she would still scheme against her if she had the opportunity in the future.

In that case, Yun Xi wouldn’t be rescuing someone, but cultivating an enemy for herself.

Although she was kindhearted, she wasn’t that stupid.

After experiencing the extremes of human nature in her previous life, she knew better than anyone who could be helped and who couldn’t be helped.

After being reborn, she was determined that she wouldn’t act stupidly ever again.

Leaving the jail, Yun Xi looked up at the bright suns.h.i.+ne above her head, squinting slightly.

It was rare to have such an abundance of good suns.h.i.+ne in the middle of winter. Although the road was covered with snow, the sunlight s.h.i.+ning on her body gave her a bit of warmth.
