Chapter 608: Embarrassed

This is what Sun Zhou wants to see.

Surrender, embarrassment, collapse.

At that moment, Ji Wan's lips curled up into an icy arc. Facing her disheveled self in the mirror, she spoke word by word, in a voice only she could hear: "Ji Wan, look carefully. Remember all the humiliation you suffered today. In the future, I will return it a thousandfold."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked straight to the bathroom without even glancing at the mirror.

“Crash—”

The icy cold water poured down from above her head, causing her to shiver instantly. However, she did not adjust the water temperature, letting the biting coldness sweep over her body.

Only coldness can make people sober.

She closed her eyes, letting the water wash over her hair and body. The sticky rice grains were washed away, the traces of humiliation were washed away, and along with them, the last trace of weakness and hesitation in her heart.

She doesn't need sympathy, let alone pity.

What she needed was strength, enough strength to crush Sun Zhou and Chi Wenyan under her feet, preventing them from ever getting up!

It wasn't until her entire body was numb from the cold that Ji Wan turned off the water. She grabbed a towel and wiped her hair and body vigorously, each movement fierce, as if she was trying to rub off a layer of skin.

In the bathroom were new clothes that Sun Zhou had prepared for her, all of her favorite brands and styles.

Did he think he could buy her off this way? Using this perverted control to demonstrate his "love"?

A deep look of contempt flashed in Ji Wan's eyes. She casually picked up a simple T-shirt and trousers, put them on, and walked out.

In the room, the broken porcelain bowl was still lying on the floor, making a mess.

Ji Wan didn't even glance at it. She began to calmly examine the cage that imprisoned her.

The room was large and luxuriously decorated, but it exuded a suffocating sense of control. The windows were custom-made, sealed from the outside with steel bars, and the glass was thick, bulletproof. Even breaking it would be incredibly difficult, let alone escaping.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

No one responded at all.

The door is a heavy solid wood door, and the door lock is an electronic password lock. There is also a mechanical locking sound from the outside, which is obviously a double insurance.

This is a carefully crafted golden birdcage that is impossible to escape from.

Sun Zhou wanted to imprison her here completely, grind off all her edges and will, and make her an obedient canary.

Ji Wan walked to the window and looked out through the gaps in the steel bars.

"Let me out, let me out quickly."

Outside was a neatly trimmed lawn, with dense woods in the distance, and even further away, the faint sight of rolling mountain ranges. This place was remote and sparsely populated, so even if she shouted at the top of her lungs, no one outside would be able to hear her.

Her heart sank little by little, but the fire in her eyes burned even brighter.

The more desperate the situation, the calmer you should be.

She couldn't panic, let alone get confused. Sun Zhou's patience was limited, but her resilience was unlimited!

Ji Wan took a deep breath and began to search the room for anything that could be used as a weapon, any blind spots in the surveillance that might be overlooked, and any slightest chance of escape.

She knew that Chi Wenyan must be looking for her frantically.

But before he finds her, she must save herself.

She wanted to live, live well, and then see with her own eyes how Sun Zhou paid the price in blood for everything he did today!

The night is like thick ink, full of inextricable oppression.

A black Bentley was speeding madly on the empty road like an out-of-control beast, its engine making a deafening roar, tearing apart the tranquility of the night.

In the driver's seat, Chi Wenyan's expression was even darker than the night outside. His usually deep and calm eyes were now bloodshot. Veins bulged on the back of his hand gripping the steering wheel, and the Buddhist beads on his wrist trembled violently from his owner's loss of control.

He threw his phone on the passenger seat, and the screen was still showing the call interface with his assistant.

"Boss Chi, we've found out! The last location your wife's cell phone signal appeared was the City Center Hospital!"

Hospital.

These two words were like a poisonous needle, piercing Chi Wenyan's heart.

He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the car screamed, and rushed towards the brightly lit area at an even faster speed.

“Squeak—”

The sharp sound of brakes broke the silence at the hospital entrance. Before the car stopped, Chi Wenyan pushed open the door and rushed out. His whole body exuded a cold and biting aura that kept strangers away, and he rushed straight into the emergency building.

"Where's Ji Wan?" He rushed to the reception desk, staring at the nurse on duty with red eyes, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper. "Ji Wan was sent here for examination this afternoon. Which ward is she in?"

The nurse was so frightened by his murderous aura that she shuddered. Her fingers trembled as she searched on the computer: "Ji... Ji Wan... I found her. She's in the internal medicine department on the third floor. Doctor Zhang is in charge..."

Before he finished speaking, Chi Wenyan turned around and rushed towards the elevator, his back filled with overwhelming anxiety and panic.

Third floor, doctor's office.

The door was slammed open from the outside.

Doctor Zhang, who was sorting out medical records, was startled. When he looked up, he met a pair of bloodshot eyes.

"Are you the doctor in charge of Ji Wan?" Chi Wenyan approached step by step. A strong sense of oppression instantly enveloped the entire small office, and the air became stagnant.

"I, I am..." Dr. Zhang was frightened by his terrifying aura and subconsciously took a step back, his back against the cold wall.

"Where is she?" Chi Wenyan's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, and every word was icy. "Answer me!"

"She was taken away." Doctor Zhang didn't dare to look him in the eyes, his voice trembling.

"By whom!" Chi Wenyan took a step forward, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up. His scarlet eyes were filled with madness on the verge of exploding. "Tell me! Who took her away!"

"Ahem..." Doctor Zhang was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, his face flushed red, and he desperately slapped Chi Wenyan's arm, "It's a Mr. Sun, he said he is Miss Ji's fiancé."

"Sun?" Chi Wenyan's movements suddenly stopped, and the madness in his eyes froze instantly, replaced by a deadly coldness. Beneath that coldness was a rage that was enough to burn the heavens and destroy the earth. "Sun Zhou?"

"Yes! Yes! That's the name!" Doctor Zhang had a chance to catch his breath and nodded hurriedly. "He said Miss Ji wasn't feeling well and wanted to take her home to recuperate. They seemed very familiar with each other, and Miss Ji didn't resist, so...she let him take her away..."

"Sun Zhou."

Chi Wenyan slowly released his hand and murmured the name in a low voice, the voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, but with a creepy sinister tone.
