Chapter 59 Escaping His Control

"Bo Jinzhou, you're hurting me."

Jiang Yimian frowned and turned her head away, licking the spot where she had been bumped.

The man's grip loosened, and he looked down at her in the darkness. "Why did it take you so long?"

Jiang Yimian: "Can you finish your work on time?"

With a snap, the light turned on, and Jiang Yimian could see the man in front of her clearly.

His face was cold, and his dark, narrow phoenix eyes were swirling with hidden emotions.

The air was thick with the smell of alcohol; they were drinking whiskey.

Why are you drinking so late at night?

Bo Jinzhou asked, "How did you and Lin Zhiren get together?"

Jiang Yimian wasn't surprised; she knew he would ask sooner or later. Rubbing her wrist, she gave a perfunctory answer: "If you like each other, you'll be together, right?"

Bo Jinzhou scoffed: "Then you should go see an ophthalmologist."

Jiang Yimian was too lazy to argue with him and pushed him away, saying, "Get lost, you reek of alcohol."

Bo Jinzhou grabbed her arm and pulled her back again, pressing her against the door. He placed his hands on her ears, bent down, and looked her in the eye. "Reason for the breakup."

She took a deep breath and exhaled, "Because he betrayed me, and joined the others in kicking me when I was down. Is that enough? Is that enough? Do you really enjoy rubbing salt into other people's wounds?"

Bo Jinzhou gazed at her quietly, staring into her beautiful eyes, which were filled with defiance and stubbornness.

It felt like something had slashed his heart. At first, he didn't feel anything, but as time went on, the effects gradually became apparent, and even beads of blood spurted out.

He curled his lip, "So much resentment, is it because you still like him?"

"Are you sick or am I sick? He betrayed me, and I still like him. Am I some kind of new, brainless species? Is he the only man in the whole world? Why do I have to be with him?"

Bo Jinzhou's pupils contracted for a moment, and his throat felt dry and itchy.

Jiang Yimian pushed him away and walked towards the bathroom.

Jiang Yimian came out of the bathroom, her long hair already dried with a hairdryer inside. She lay down on the bed, the two of them quite far apart.

Jiang Yimian yawned. She hadn't slept well these past few days because she had been using her brain too much and with that bastard Bo Jinzhou around.

I quickly fell asleep.

The man behind her only dared to lean on her after seeing that her breathing was even.

Bo Jinzhou's fingertips entwined with her hair, the long, silky hair wrapping around his fingers a few times, its sheen exquisite.

The woman, who had her back to him, skillfully rolled over and snuggled into his arms, where Bo Jinzhou's strong arms embraced her.

His dark eyes were sharp and cold in the night.

Upon learning that she had been with Lin Zhiren, Bo Jinzhou did not allow Song Zhou to investigate their past in detail.

But today, he wants to know.

When Song Zhou handed him the information he had already researched, he placed it on his desk and looked at it for a long time, as if he had made full mental preparations before opening the brown paper bag.

The photos above show the two of them together, and the places they visited together.

They were together for a year, almost inseparable every day.

Furthermore, Jiang Yimian actually took him to the graves of Jiang Hua and his maternal grandparents.

Bo Jinzhou found the photos increasingly irritating and burned them all.

Does this prove that Lin Zhiren left a very important mark on her heart?

This suddenly made Bo Jinzhou feel uncertain.

But now that his lover was in his arms, his empty and restless heart calmed down.

He understood Jiang Yimian; she was a woman of strong emotions, capable of both love and hate, and would never forgive the hurt she had caused Lin Zhiren.

Besides, they're both married, and with this certificate, nothing can threaten them.

Jiang Yimian did not go to the group with Bo Jinzhou. She had finished the design draft, but there were still some details that needed to be processed.

She needs a quiet environment.

The package Chu Yao sent arrived. The maid handed it to Jiang Yimian, who opened the box. The auspicious peace buckle inside stunned her.

If you weren't an expert, you really wouldn't be able to tell that this safety buckle is fake.

Although the jade is fake, Chu Yao found one without any harmful substances, so he feels safe wearing it.

Maid: "Madam, Mr. Han has arrived and is waiting for you in the lobby."

Jiang Yimian threw the box and package into the trash can. "Okay, I'll go down now."

Han Feng brought a lot of fun things for Jiang Yimian to see, all of which he had found abroad.

“Mianmian, I bet you’ll like this rough stone.”

The one Han Feng has is unprocessed; Jiang Yimian will have to have it processed to find out what it is like.

However, the color is already visible on the surface.

It's a pure green; although it's rough, the color doesn't lie.

"Thank you, Brother Hanfeng, for bringing me all this fun stuff from so far away. You've worked so hard."

Jiang Yimian poured him tea, which was also from Bo Jinzhou's collection.

Han Feng waved his hand: "Hey, it's not hard work, what's so hard about it? Let's have dinner together tonight at Chunyanlou."

"good."

Han Feng still had work to do and left Yun Duan.

Jiang Yimian returned to the study, and her brow suddenly furrowed as she looked at the mouse.

Someone tampered with her computer.

Jiang Yimian looked at the computer; it was still the same as when she left.

But the mouse is bent.

Jiang Yimian didn't make a fuss, and an hour later she asked the maid to bring water up.

The water delivery person and the person who just called her downstairs are not the same one.

After the servants left, Jiang Yimian sent a message to Bo Jinzhou.

How do you view your home security camera footage?

The reply came instantly: "My home?"

Jiang Yimian: [Please, please, this is our house, our house.]

Bo Jinzhou sent over a surveillance video.

I thought you were so clueless that you didn't realize someone had messed with your computer.

Jiang Yimian ignored him and clicked on the video.

The video shows the study, with the camera pointed directly at the computer.

This position is perfect for capturing who turned on the computer.

After she left, the maid who had called her away hurriedly walked to the computer. It was probably the first time she had done something like this, and her hands were shaking.

I used a USB drive to transfer the contents of the USB drive.

Jiang Yimian took out her phone and switched to another page.

I opened WeChat and sent a screenshot to someone named Chen Yan.

Have you seen this person at the Jiang residence?

Chen Yan: [She applied for a maid position at the Jiang residence last month, but wasn't hired. Su Yuwan called her out separately, but I don't know what they talked about.]

How are the three of them doing lately?

Chen Yan: [Miss, I was just about to tell you. It seems Su Yuwan was raped on her birthday. Lu Wenchang made a special trip to Hong Kong to get those people to hand over the photos. I overheard it yesterday when I passed by the study. I didn't dare listen too much, but I know that the other party has a lot of influence in Hong Kong. Last time, Lu Wenchang bought out the photos, and this time that person came back asking for more money.]

Jiang Yimian didn't expect so much to happen that day; Lu Wenchang was quite willing to do it.

As I was pondering this, Chen Yan sent me a photo. It was taken from a distance, albeit secretly, but the faces were clearly visible.

Chen Yan: [Your former roommate, Chen Qingqing, was just summoned to the Jiang residence by Lu Wenchang. It's very likely she's here to deal with you, Miss. Be careful.]

Jiang Yimian glanced at the photo and then logged out.

She had completely escaped his control, and given Lu Wenchang's personality, there was absolutely no way he would keep her.

However, he couldn't make a move because Bo Jinzhou was there.

Using someone else to do the dirty work is convenient.

Chen Yan moved into the Jiang residence six years ago.

She came from a poor mountainous area and was one of the many college students sponsored by her maternal grandfather.

After graduating from university, she originally planned to return to her hometown to help build it up. However, upon learning of the Jiang family's troubles, she took the initiative to approach Jiang Yimian.

Jiang Yimian was being monitored by Lu Wenchang's men. The two secretly contacted each other and finally had a brief meeting three months later.

To be honest, Jiang Yimian didn't want Chen Yan to get involved in this dangerous situation, but Chen Yan insisted and even begged her at one point.

Jiang Yimian agreed and allowed her to enter the Jiang residence as a maid after passing the interview.

Firstly, it would be convenient for the two of them to look after each other. Secondly, she was more free than Jiang Yimian, able to freely enter and leave the Jiang residence, and even gather some information.

The two were cautious and did not speak a word to each other at the Jiang residence.

The old people who used to live in the Jiang family mansion are all gone, and the servants have been replaced. Apart from Chen Yan, Jiang Yimian is the only outsider in the entire Jiang family mansion.

The last time Jiang Yimian deliberately set a trap, it was Chen Yan who notified Bo Jinzhou to rescue her.
