Chapter 967 Either a Fool or an Idiot

However, tonight is destined to be a restless night.

Xi Siwei ran out of the hospital, and the people who used to be at his beck and call are now nowhere to be relied upon.

So…

He was dressed in black from head to toe, wearing a black baseball cap, and under the cover of night, he arrived at a familiar apartment building.

He knew the password downstairs, and he also knew the password to the apartment upstairs, so he easily entered the building and effortlessly reached the familiar floor.

Entering the password, Xi Siwei quietly stepped into the apartment.

The light in the apartment’s bedroom was on, which meant someone was home!

Shen Ruozhuo was there.

Last time, he was worried that Shen Ruozhuo would find out about the real and fake Lou Xi, so he locked her in the villa’s basement, and at that time, he saw hatred in Shen Ruozhuo’s eyes.

But now, with no one to help him, Xi Siwei could only pin his hopes on Shen Ruozhuo.

Having been here many times, Xi Siwei walked to the bedroom by intuition. The bathroom door was closed, and the sound of water came from within, likely indicating someone was showering.

Xi Siwei took off his coat; he was still wearing the hospital gown underneath, with bandages wrapped around his wrist.

He casually threw the clothes on Shen Ruozhuo’s bed, waiting by the bathroom door.

Before long, Shen Ruozhuo came out of the bathroom, drying her hair as she walked.

As she looked up, she suddenly noticed an unfamiliar man’s coat on the bed.

It wasn’t left by Su Lin, and it wasn’t Su Lin’s style either…

“Hmm…” Just as Shen Ruozhuo was surprised, suddenly someone emerged from behind and covered her mouth and nose, “Hmm… Who are you… Hmm…”

Shen Ruozhuo was not a strong woman; being attacked from behind with such force left her with no ability to fight back.

“Shh, don’t panic, it’s me!” Xi Siwei whispered sinisterly in Shen Ruozhuo’s ear.

Shen Ruozhuo saw Xi Siwei’s reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window opposite her.

It was Xi Siwei, it really was Xi Siwei!

“I’ll let go if you don’t scream, or else…” Xi Siwei pressed a knife to Shen Ruozhuo’s waist; he had grabbed it from the kitchen and now held it against her waist.

At that moment, Shen Ruozhuo’s mind went blank. Whatever Xi Siwei said, she obeyed.

When Xi Siwei released her mouth and nose, she gulped fresh air but dared not move, as a knife was pressed against her waist. One wrong move, and it would pierce her skin…

“How did you get out?” After a moment, Shen Ruozhuo slowly regained her composure, understanding her current predicament, weighing the pros and cons.

“I left because I wanted to. Did you think that place could hold me?”

“Why did you come to me? I thought when you locked me in the basement back then and left me to die, our relationship was over.” Even now, the thought of being confined by Xi Siwei in the basement kept Shen Ruozhuo awake all night.

“That was my mistake, wasn’t I just afraid you might talk carelessly? I hope you can forgive my recklessness; I won’t treat you like that again.” Xi Siwei moved closer, inhaling the fragrance of her post-bath scent.

Shen Ruozhuo laughed coldly, “You’ve come to me now, isn’t it just because you have nowhere else to turn, and you’re pinning your hopes on me? If I believe you again, I must be either foolish or stupid.”
