Chapter 250: Chapter 250 Fierce Battle

Lin Mengyao pointed towards the bathroom for Xu Ke.

Jin Ling, standing quite far away, didn’t know what they said, but she understood the gesture. Jin Ling felt a surge of joy in her heart. She was the first to enter the bathroom while Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao were talking, waiting inside for Lin Mengyao.

"I’ll go to the bathroom first," Lin Mengyao said to Xu Ke.

"I’ll accompany you."

"Are you crazy?" Lin Mengyao’s eyes widened momentarily, and she unconsciously raised her voice, only to lower it again as she noticed the people around glancing their way.

"You’re a man, how can you accompany me to the ladies’ room?" Lin Mengyao’s eyes darted around like a thief’s, fearing that someone might overhear and mistake Xu Ke for a pervert.

Xu Ke chuckled at Lin Mengyao’s furtive demeanor. "What are you thinking? How could I possibly go in with you? I’ll wait outside for you." Xu Ke ruffled Lin Mengyao’s hair, his expression growing serious. "I can’t go in with you, so you’ll be on your own in the bathroom. Since there aren’t many people there, Jin Ling might make a move on you. Be cautious, and press the alarm button if there’s any danger—I’ll come to you immediately. Understand?"

Seeing Xu Ke’s serious expression, Lin Mengyao nodded and started to feel anxious again.

"I understand." Lin Mengyao gave Xu Ke a reassuring look.

"Maybe you shouldn’t go. I’m a bit worried about you." Seeing Lin Mengyao turning towards the bathroom, Xu Ke furrowed his brows and held her hand, intending to lead her away.

Lin Mengyao sensed the tension in Xu Ke’s heart, and her own anxiety abated somewhat, replaced by a sense of sweetness. "Don’t worry, I remember everything you said. I won’t have any issues, and when nature calls, it’s hard to hold it in." Lin Mengyao rolled her eyes at Xu Ke and continued, "Besides, don’t treat me like a fragile flower. I’m just as strong as you, a tree standing beside you. I want to grow together with you, rather than always hiding behind you being a burden."

After speaking, Lin Mengyao freed her hand from Xu Ke’s grasp, waved to him, and walked into the bathroom.

Xu Ke stood outside the women’s restroom, furrowing his brows with a tense expression, indifferent to the odd looks from passersby. He stood vigil at the restroom door, not daring to relax for even a moment.

Inside, Jin Ling was feigning to clean, her eyes lighting up with excitement as soon as Lin Mengyao entered.

At this hour, the bathroom was unexpectedly empty, except for a cleaner standing beside the sink.

Observing the open stall doors and the cleaner, Lin Mengyao almost immediately identified Jin Ling’s identity.

Using her bag for cover, Lin Mengyao placed her hand on the alarm button, ready to press it at the slightest move from Jin Ling.

Jin Ling glanced at the distance between them and didn’t move, even diverting her gaze as she pretended to wipe the sink.

Seeing no action from Jin Ling, Lin Mengyao’s suspicion eased slightly, but she remained on guard. She glanced at Jin Ling, then chose the nearest stall and entered.

Through the mirror, Jin Ling watched Lin Mengyao close the stall door, an excited gleam in her eyes. She adjusted her position to be closer to Lin Mengyao, considering blocking the stall door, but feared alerting Lin Mengyao, so she chose her current position, planning to strike with certainty when Lin Mengyao washed her hands.

Jin Ling touched the syringe in her pocket, her smile growing increasingly sinister.

It wasn’t long before Lin Mengyao emerged. As she got closer to Jin Ling, the latter’s body began trembling with uncontrollable excitement.

Feigning calm as she approached the washbasin, Lin Mengyao noticed Jin Ling’s slightly trembling body and didn’t hesitate, pressing the alarm immediately. At the same time, she reached Jin Ling’s side. As they passed, Jin Ling suddenly pulled her hand from her pocket, attempting to stab Lin Mengyao, who raised her bag to block the attack.

Outside, Xu Ke felt a vibration on his wrist and rushed in immediately.

He burst in to see Lin Mengyao using her bag to fend off Jin Ling, and he noticed the syringe in Jin Ling’s hand. A murderous intent filled Xu Ke’s eyes. Although he didn’t know what was inside the syringe, he was sure it wasn’t anything good.

Xu Ke’s face darkened as he charged towards Jin Ling.

Jin Ling heard footsteps behind her but didn’t turn back, focused solely on attacking Lin Mengyao. She wanted to see her fall into Hell.

With the size difference and Jin Ling’s reckless determination, Lin Mengyao quickly found herself losing. She saw the flash in Xu Ke’s eyes, but at the same time, the syringe in Jin Ling’s hand was only two centimeters from her neck, a distance that was shrinking rapidly.

Jin Ling’s breath grew heavy, her eyes seemingly already seeing victory. But just as she was about to plunge the syringe into Lin Mengyao’s neck, an arm looped around her neck, yanking her back. The distance between the syringe and Lin Mengyao suddenly increased. Seeing her prey escape, the veins on Jin Ling’s temples almost burst.

"I’ll kill you all," Jin Ling screamed.

It was the first time since meeting that Lin Mengyao heard her speak, her voice rendered hoarse and unpleasant by Xu Ke’s hold.

Seeing Lin Mengyao escape and herself trapped by Xu Ke, Jin Ling resolutely bent her arm, attempting to inject Xu Ke with the syringe.

"Watch out!" Lin Mengyao’s heart leaped to her throat at Jin Ling’s sudden movement. She believed her voice was loud, but in extreme tension, it was almost a whisper.

Jin Ling’s hand holding the syringe halted mid-motion, enveloped by a larger hand, which maneuvered it towards her own neck.

In an instant, Jin Ling understood Xu Ke’s intention. She tried to escape his grip, but the gender strength disparity was evident here. No matter how strong she was, she couldn’t escape Xu Ke’s grasp.
