The police car drove away, his angry curses finally fading into silence.
Yan Xixi slumped into the chair, utterly unable to move.
Xu Xiaoya was on holiday today and not in the store. Yan Xixi did not want to confide in the salesgirls. She just propped her head in her hands, incredibly tired.
Li Zhen looked very worried. "Xixi, would you like to go to the hospital for a check-up?"
She shook her head, looking blankly at him. It was as if only then did it occur to her that he had saved her. If Li Zhen hadn't arrived today, the consequences would have been unbearable to imagine.
Still in shock, she said, "Thank you."
Li Zhen was visibly distressed. "Xixi, I think you should take a few days off work."
She remained silent.
He cautiously suggested, "If there's nothing particularly pressing, I advise you to head to the United States as soon as possible."
She lifted her head, clearly distracted. "I have things to deal with. I can't leave just yet..."
