Dating My Scumbag Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 396: A Smile

Translator: Lonelytree

The air turned cold all of a sudden.

The leading man pursed his lips. “Master Qi!”

Jing Tian smiled. “I’ll give you a chance. Go and ask your master. I’ll go with you once he agrees. If he doesn’t…” Jing Tian didn’t need to say anything else.

The leader glared at Jing Tian before submitting. He turned around to make a phone call.

Jing Tian took a step back. His leg was pressed against my side. Gao Da grabbed my arm tightly. My lips were bleeding from biting too hard.

The leader soon returned. His attitude was still respectful. “Master Qi, we’ll let them live. However, the fire has already started downstairs. It depends on their luck if they can survive or not. That’s all we can do, Master Qi!”

Jing Tian growled, “Get down the stairs. Keep your body low. Cover your nose and mouth. Leave!”

All the hostages were highly focused. Those closest to the staircase moved immediately. The others quickly joined the escaping crowd once they realized the masked men didn’t intend to stop them.

I glanced at Jing Tian one last time. He gave the masked man a warm smile, but I knew the smile was meant for me. Then, I felt a pain in my neck and fainted.

I understood Gao Da had knocked me out because he was afraid that I’d be impulsive. I was grateful because if he didn’t, I couldn’t guarantee what I’d do. I would do anything to stay with Jing Tian.

By the time I woke up, the sky was already dark.

I got up in a hurry. “Jing Tian!”

Where was Jing Tian? The memory flooded my mind. Something happened to Jing Tian. He was kidnapped right in front of me.

All the blood rushed to my brain. Who was It? Which bastard kidnapped Jing Tian? I would tear them into pieces!

“Nanxing! You’re awake?” Gao Da’s face appeared in front of me.

I was in a daze.

Gao Da handed me a glass of water. “Nanxing, there are only the two of us now. You have to control your emotions because we still have a lot of work to do. Do you understand?”

Gao Da was a very gentle person, and he normally kept a low profile. Perhaps birds of a feather flock together. Gao Da was very similar to Jing Tian. At the university, he was a knowledgeable teaching assistant. Outside of university, he was Jing Tian’s shadowy bodyguard.

In contrast, Gao Jing was more like my little uncle. He was always in fights. When he appeared at events with my little uncle, he was imposing and oppressive.

Gao Da deliberately lowered his presence and rarely appeared in public. He always did his own thing in silence. The underworld knew a lot about Brother Xiao Jing, but Brother Gao Da was like a moving shadow.

Gao Da’s ability to fade into the background was the main reason we were able to escape.

If I was with my little uncle, he and Brother Xiao Jing would get into a fight already. Unlike Brother Gao Da, they would be recognized instantly.

I gulped down a cup of warm water and handed the cup back to Gao Da. “Who is behind this?”

Gao Da shook his head and smiled wryly. “Nanxing, Master Qi is safe for the time being, but I need to tell you something else.”

I looked at him. “Is there anything worse than Jing Tian being kidnapped?”

Gao Da nodded slowly.

I was stunned and stared at him with widened eyes.

Gao Da said quietly, “We are stranded. We’ve lost contact with the others.”

My mind went blank.. “What do you mean?”
