"Wanwan... save me, save me! Help me." Ye Jiqing pushed open the car door, stumbled out frantically, and nearly fell to his knees.
I grabbed his arm in one swift motion and steadied him, "What's wrong? How can I help you?"
Ye Jiqing, who always carried himself with dignity.
Now, he appeared so disheveled and desperate, even attempting to kneel before me.
What on earth happened?
"Chasing me... Xia Xi is chasing me... I've been fleeing, all the way here... A whole day and night..." Ye Jiqing's eyes were filled with despair, his stubble on his chin looking particularly pale and gaunt under the streetlight.
I sorted through his words and translated them, "You've been chased by Xia Xi and came to Spring Wind Town seeking my help. You drove here, escaping for a whole day and night? Did you hit the road bollard just now because you were too tense?"
"That's right, she was right behind the car just now, all covered in blood! Blood all over..."
