Chapter 13570 A Gamble

"Miss Jin! I'm sorry, I can't protect myself right now. We'll talk about your family matters later. I'll help you after I solve the current problem!" Ling Xiao called softly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

He knew very well that his current situation was like a small boat in the storm, which could be destroyed at any time. At this critical moment, the entanglement with the Money Gang would only make him fall into a deeper quagmire.

He struggled with inner conflict. On the one hand, he didn't want to disappoint Jin Ruoxi's expectations of him; on the other hand, he had to think about his family and friends and not get involved in more trouble.

Hearing this, Jin Ruoxi slowly turned around. Her gaze stayed on Ling Xiao for a moment, then she shook her head gently.

"Ling Xiao, I know you are in a difficult situation now. You cannot interfere in the affairs of the Money Gang for the time being. I understand." Her voice was soft but firm. It was like a gentle spring breeze blowing through the Zhaixing Tower which was filled with a dangerous atmosphere.

There was no trace of blame in her eyes, but rather a magnanimity that tolerated everything. Obviously, she had already prepared for the worst in her mind. Even if she had to face the difficulties that the Money Gang might encounter alone, she would not force Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart when he heard this. In this chaotic world where people's hearts are sinister and full of calculations, being able to have such a person who understands and supports him is like seeing a ray of light in the darkness.

However, he was more aware of his mission and responsibilities. His family and friends were waiting for him to return safely, and he could not forget his original intention because of a momentary emotion.

His heart seemed to be pulled by two forces: on one side was the warmth and touch that Jin Ruoxi brought him, and on the other side was the responsibility and protection for his family and friends.

"In that case, let's say goodbye!" Ling Xiao took a deep breath, as if he was making up his mind. He turned around and was about to leave, with a sense of determination in every step. He knew that this farewell might be a farewell forever.

His figure seemed a little lonely and forlorn in the dim light, but his eyes were still firm. He could not let himself become a burden to the Money Gang, and he could not let his friends and family fall into danger because of his choice. This was his bottom line.

However, just as he was about to leave, Jin Ruoxi's voice rang out again: "Ling Xiao, are you afraid of getting me into trouble?"

There was a hint of doubt and confusion in her tone, and her eyes were fixed on Ling Xiao's back, as if she wanted to find the answer from him. She didn't believe that Ling Xiao would give up so easily. In her impression, Ling Xiao was not a person who would back down easily.

Ling Xiao stopped and looked back at Jin Ruoxi, his eyes revealing a hint of firmness and determination.

"I'm not that great. I just feel that it's safer to be alone at this time." He said slowly, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"I don't really trust you, the Money Gang. What's more, if those people knew that I joined forces with you, I would have an extra handle. Do you think I should help them deal with the Money Gang? Okay, bye!"

He was actually very helpless in his heart, and saying these words was like rubbing salt into his wounds, but he had to do it in order to protect more people he cared about.

After saying that, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated and flew away directly. His figure was like a nimble bird, flying through the sky of Zhaixing Tower and soon disappeared from Jin Ruoxi's sight.

Jin Ruoxi stood there, watching Ling Xiao leave, her eyes showing both disappointment and determination. She knew that Ling Xiao's choice was right, and it was the wisest decision in this complicated situation.

She also believed that no matter what the future held, Ling Xiao would protect everything they cherished in his own way.

Ling Xiao's blatant departure seemed ruthless, but in fact it was the best protection for Jin Ruoxi and the Jinqian Gang.

He knew very well that only by making himself the target of public criticism could he keep his friends and family temporarily safe.

He is willing to endure Jin Ruoxi's possible misunderstanding and bear the ruthless insults, and perhaps only those who truly understand him can understand the meaning of this affection and sacrifice.

After Ling Xiao left, the maid still stood there, her eyes closely following his gradually receding figure, until that unruly figure completely disappeared into the sky.

She sighed softly, frowned, turned her head and looked at Jin Ruoxi beside her with worry, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, should we really help him? This person is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He is indeed a good person, but given the current situation of our Money Gang, it is really not appropriate to provoke more enemies."

Jin Ruoxi's expression remained calm when she heard this, as if all the noise in the outside world had nothing to do with her. She gently raised her hand, and her fingertips gently stroked a blooming flower beside her, her eyes revealing a firmness and wisdom beyond her age.

"Let our people keep an eye on those forces in the dark, especially the Demon Tower and the Righteousness Hall. They will definitely not give up." Her tone was calm, but revealed an unquestionable determination. "When necessary, save Ling Xiao at all costs."

The maid was shocked when she heard this. She knew very well that the current situation of the Money Gang was already precarious, and being involved in such a vortex would undoubtedly make the situation worse.

She advised in a deep voice: "Miss, do you really want to get involved in this vortex? Our Money Gang is already struggling to take care of itself. If we make more enemies, I'm afraid..."

However, Jin Ruoxi interrupted her, with a determined look in her eyes. "Opportunities in this world are never waiting, but we need to fight and strive for them."

Although her voice was soft, every word was powerful. "I believe in this man. His appearance may be a turning point for our Money Gang. Otherwise, once my father's secret is exposed, the Money Gang will really fall into an irretrievable situation. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take a gamble. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope!"

After saying that, Jin Ruoxi turned and left. Her steps were firm and powerful, as if every step was based on hope for the future.

The maid watched her leaving back. Although she was still worried, she was also infected by Jin Ruoxi's determination. She secretly made up her mind that no matter what, she would follow the young lady and face the future storms together.

……

There was a very secluded corner in the back mountain of Zhengqi Hall, surrounded by dense trees. The surroundings were quiet and somewhat depressing. Ling Bi, Zhang Ruochen, and Bai Yan gathered quietly here.

Ling Bi was a person who valued friendship and loyalty, and had a straightforward and courageous character. She held a sword that shone with cold light, and the sword shone with a cold light in the weak light that shone through the gaps between the leaves.

She was wiping the blade of the sword meticulously, each stroke full of power, as if she was pouring all her inner anger and determination into it. (End of this chapter)
