Chapter 2324: Chapter 2324

Since that serious illness, Jiaojiao has rarely eaten these snacks outside. For one thing, her health is indeed very poor, with a fragile stomach and intestines, easily getting diarrhea. For another, she has a small appetite, likely unable to eat a proper meal after having some snacks.

Usually, there was either someone from the Ruan Family watching over her, or Duan Xi keeping an eye on her. After four years, strolling the snack street with Yang Tao once again made Jiaojiao quite happy, evoking a sense of being back in high school. At that time, she, Duan Xi, Yang Tao, Ruan Lei, and Lu Zishu, later joined by Qin Yue, formed a fixed group.

Seeing one of them, the other two pairs were sure to be there as well.

Yang Tao evidently thought of that too, sharing a piece of sugar oil cake with Jiaojiao while saying, "If we have time, we should really gather. I heard Lu Zishu has already started interning at a company?"

"Yeah, my big brother said he’s doing pretty well," Jiaojiao nodded. Thinking of something, she turned to Yang Tao, "Do you want to meet? After the New Year, I’ll talk to them."

Yang Tao knew what she was referring to, lowering her eyelids, "Of course, let’s meet. You don’t have to worry. Although your brother and I broke up, we can still be friends."

Jiaojiao noted her eyelids trembling intensely, pursing her lips without saying anything.

The two walked in silence for a while, then noticed something seemed to be happening ahead. Many people were gathering, discussing something excitedly.

Neither Jiaojiao nor Yang Tao were fond of joining such crowds. Just as they were about to turn back, they overheard someone nearby discussing, "Tsk tsk, what a horrific fall! Did you see it? All lifeless on the ground, we can’t tell if they’re dead or alive."

"That was several meters high. Even if they’re not dead, they must be terribly injured," another person chimed in.

"Who is it? They look somewhat familiar."

"You don’t know? It’s the Manor Lord from ’Sword of No Affection’, the villain! I hated him back then."

"..."

As they were fervently discussing, suddenly two girls appeared in front of them, their faces growing paler by the second.

"Who were you talking about? Who fell down?" Yang Tao asked, face pale, lips trembling, as she grabbed one person’s arm.

Startled by her reaction, the person instinctively tried to push her away, while the other next to them explained, "It’s the Manor Lord from ’Sword of No Affection’, right up ahead. They were suspended by a rope, but somehow it snapped, and they fell to the ground, bleeding all over..."

The person hadn’t finished speaking when Yang Tao and Jiaojiao had already run off.

Both knew that earlier this year, a drama had swept across the country, with a major villain that made many grit their teeth in hatred. Others might not remember the villain’s name, but Jiaojiao and Yang Tao knew—it was Ruan Lei!

The two quickly ran to the crowd. Yang Tao frantically pushed through, first laying eyes on a large pool of blood, and by its side, a person lying unconscious, dressed in a white costume.

"Ruan Lei..." Yang Tao, looking at the motionless person, quickly had her eyes filled with moisture. She rushed over, kneeling on the ground, seeing his white costume stained with blood, her hands trembling but not daring to touch him.
