Chapter 1436: Someone Wants to Kill Her?

Old Mr. Mo’s life was long out of danger, but he had yet to come to. Xia Ruya had been keeping close tabs on the hospital every day and paying attention to Wen Xinya’s actions. At the same time, she was trying to pay attention to the mysterious Mr. Si, the boss of Jiayuan Club.

She found out that Wen Xinya had been staying by Old Mr. Mo’s ward without any rest or sleep, and did not once leave the hospital. It seemed she was too busy to care about other things.

However, even then, Xia Ruya still dared not be too careless. Ever since Old Mr. Mo’s rescue was successful, she had been hiding in an obscure apartment in Capital city. She even bought a few other properties in secret. Hence, she was hiding and going from place to place.

However, Xia Ruya knew that that was not a feasible solution, for Si Yiyan commanded great power and authority. He had a prestigious position and was known as someone who should not be trifled with. She could not escape him with her petty tricks. However, she believed that neither Wen Xinya nor Si Yiyan would dare to harm her brazenly and take her life. If they were to accidentally get into trouble, it would not be a good thing for them either.

Hence, she agreed to go shopping with Jiang Ruoyin.

The mall was a public area and Pearl Mall also belonged to the Gu Family. Since the Gu Family was involved in the triads too, no one would dare to stir trouble in their business area. No matter how much Wen Xinya detested her, she wouldn’t harm her at a business area that belonged to the Gu Family, lest she provoke them.

Jiang Ruoyin eagerly pulled Xia Ruya into the mall and said, “Ruya, I heard that there’s a new white dress that was launched in Chanel’s flagship stores yesterday. The design and fabric are not inferior to the one that Wen Xinya bought previously. You’ll definitely like it.”

Xia Ruya’s face grew sullen as the incident that happened at the Chanel flagship store remained as a thorn in her flesh. She would feel an immense headache whenever she thought about it.

“Ruya, you…” Jiang Ruoyin murmured, seemingly having discovered that Xia Ruya was no longer as kindhearted and pure as she used to be. She seemed to be erratic and hard to please, making her feel terrified.

“Let’s go… We’ll go and take a look at this white dress you talked about,” she said smilingly, though her smile seemed a little cold for some reason.

The two of them headed to the elevator together!

The doors of the elevators opened slowly with a ding.

Jiang Ruoyin pulled Xia Ruya into the elevator!

However, Xia Ruya suddenly shrugged her hand away and took a step back while staring at the man in the lift with a look of horror on her face.

The man was hanging his head low and wearing a gray cap that covered his face, as well as a black leather jacket. He placed his hands in his pockets while hiding his cold lips beneath the cap. However, Xia Ruya could see it from the angle that she was standing at and found that he looked absolutely ruthless.

He was a cold, vicious and cruel man!

Xia Ruya could acutely sense that his aura was just as dominant as the bodyguards whom she had hired.

However, one was fierce and murderous while the other was restrainedly menacing!

“Ruya, the elevator is here, why aren’t you going in?” Jiang Ruoyin immediately scurried towards her, thinking that she had upset Xia Ruya.

The doors of the elevator were still open and Xia Ruya shivered uncontrollably from head to toe upon sight of the man inside the elevator. She felt a cold chill down her spine and a strong urge to leave. However, her legs seemed to have frozen, making it impossible for her to take flight.

Consumed by fear and terror, she seemed to have lost her ability to breathe, think and move.

“Ruya, what’s the matter? You seem really shocked. Are you feeling unwell?” Jiang Ruoyin asked, staring at her dilating pupils, her pale and ghastly face, and her tender lips which resembled a withered rose.

The elevator doors closed slowly.

Xia Ruya dared not breathe at all as she watched the doors of the elevator close. The man who had been hanging his head low, suddenly raised his head and stared at Xia Ruya calmly with a cold and menacing smirk. Xia Ruya could see his chin that was covered in stubble.

“Ah!” Xia Ruya shrieked in terror.

She could remember the chills and goosebumps that she got when she looked into the man’s spooky and menacing pupils. Her mind went blank and fear overwhelmed her when she saw the murderous and cold smirk on his lips.

Jiang Ruoyin frantically asked in astonishment, “Ruya… Ruya, what’s the matter with you?”

Xia Ruya was beyond terrified and she seemed to have lost control of her emotions all of a sudden. She immediately staggered and flinched like a headless fly.

Jiang Ruoyin hurriedly held onto Xia Ruya and asked, “Ruya, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell…”

Xia Ruya subconsciously looked at the elevator and watched the doors close. Finally finding her voice again, she spluttered. “Just now… that man in the elevator just now, he… he…”

How daunting!

He must have been sent by Wen Xinya to take revenge on me!

That must be it!

Xia Ruya was beyond terrified and she subconsciously wanted to leave the mall. She could not stand staying another second longer in the mall, for she felt like her life was threatened.

Jiang Ruoyin looked at her in bewilderment, unsure of what she was trying to say. “What’s wrong with that man in the elevator? Wasn’t he the elevator maintenance mechanic? I saw his work permit that was hanging in front of his chest.”

Xia Ruya suddenly grabbed her hand and said, “Did you really see the lanyard in front of his chest?”

Did I see wrongly?

Or was I hallucinating because I was too tensed up?

Jiang Ruoyin nodded, puzzled as to why Xia Ruya was feeling that way. “Ruya, what’s the matter with you?”

She felt that Xia Ruya was acting strangely, but she could not quite explain what was so strange about it.

Xia Ruya heaved a sigh of relief and shook her head while turning as pale as a sheet. “I’m feeling a little unwell. Let’s go shopping again another day!”

Maybe my eyes have really begun playing tricks on me, she thought. However, she could not stop feeling uneasy and could not bear to stay another second longer.

She sighed and reckoned that she must have been imagining things because she had been too stressed lately because of how worried she was about Wen Xinya taking revenge.
