Shen Baiyan treated his wounds and returned to the Platinum Villa.
Upon opening the door, one would find the room in complete disarray. The blankets, pillows, and sheets were riddled with large holes, and the floor was covered in goose down, scraps of cloth, and broken glass.
Su Wan was asleep on the messy bed, with dried tear stains still on the corners of her eyes.
Shen Baiyan felt a pang of sympathy. He walked over and sat down next to Su Wan, gently brushing away the hair that was covering her face.
Su Wan sensed something amiss and immediately opened her eyes.
Upon seeing Shen Baiyan, she instinctively sat up and defensively backed away.
Upon seeing this, Shen Baiyan's eyes showed a hint of frustration.
Why is she afraid of herself?
How could she be afraid of herself?
I've done so much for her, and all I wanted was for her to be afraid!
"Yamada Jiro has been caught. We have recorded evidence of his crimes. The police dug up more than a dozen bodies in his hiding place. Those people were all killed by him recently. This time he can't escape. You can go out with peace of mind from now on."
After Shen Baiyan finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave.
Upon hearing this and seeing Shen Baiyan's injured arm, Su Wan could almost imagine what had happened not long ago.
Seeing that Shen Baiyan was injured because of her, Su Wan's anger completely subsided. In fact, she had already figured it out after Shen Baiyan left.
She discovered that although Shen Baiyan was domineering and stubborn, his intentions were good; he was trying to protect her and prevent her from getting hurt.
Later, Shen Baiyan almost forced himself on her against her will, which was also because he was provoked by her words. After thinking about it, she realized that the words she said in anger were indeed harsh, especially in front of Shen Baiyan, when she said that she did not believe him, hated him, and even called him a madman. She even bit his lip hard and made a mess of Shen Baiyan's room in her anger.
She really seems to have gone too far!
Thinking of this, Su Wan asked with a hint of guilt, "Was your injury caused by Yamada Jiro?"
Shen Baiyan stopped and turned around when he heard her speak: "I'm fine."
Su Wan stood up, looked at him steadily, and said sincerely, "Shen Baiyan, thank you!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of melancholy flashed in Shen Baiyan's eyes; this was not what he wanted to hear.
Thanks?
Oh!
All he got in return for his injury was a thank you?
He smiled bitterly to himself, his voice indifferent: "You're not afraid of me anymore?"
Su Wan did not answer him.
Because she didn't know how to answer, after all, he could be quite terrifying when he was angry.
When Shen Baiyan saw that she did not answer, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
His face quickly returned to its usual expressionless state.
"Are you hungry? Would you like to stay for dinner, or should I take you home, or perhaps have Gu Chu pick you up?"
This time, Shen Baiyan did not pressure her or make a decision for her. Instead, he gave her the choice and asked for her opinion.
Su Wan thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat Uncle Zhong's Sichuan pepper beef steak."
Seeing that she was willing to stay for dinner, Shen Baiyan's coldness dissipated somewhat: "Okay, I'll go arrange it right away."
Seeing Shen Baiyan about to leave, Su Wan suddenly called out to him, "Wait!"
Shen Baiyan looked at her, his meaning clear.
Su Wan looked at the mess in the room and asked hesitantly, "How much is this? I'll pay you back."
Shen Baiyan was displeased by her words, so he deliberately said, "I don't accept cash. If you want compensation, it has to be paid with your body."
Su Wan gritted her teeth angrily: "Shen Baiyan! It seems I didn't bite hard enough!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Baiyan couldn't help but gasp, and immediately felt a burning pain in his lips.
——
After lunch, Shen Baiyan drove Su Wan back to Lijing Apartment. In the car, Su Wan asked Shen Baiyan, "Did you catch Yamada Jiro?"
Shen Baiyan said, "And Jiang Jinyu."
Su Wan said disdainfully, "You're injured even though it's two to one, this is......"
Su Wan ultimately couldn't bring herself to say the words, "Too weak."
Seeing that she misunderstood him as useless, Shen Baiyan explained, "I was tricked by Jiang Jinyu at the last moment."
Su Wan was shocked and furious: "What! Jiang Jinyu! How could he do this?"
Shen Baiyan felt inexplicably pleased to see her angry: "You seem very angry?"
Su Wan said indignantly, "Of course! Do you know what his behavior is called?"
Shen Baiyan looked at her, waiting for her to tell him.
Su Wan gritted her teeth and spat out two words: "Despicable!"
Jiang Group President's Office —
Achoo!
"Achoo!"
Jiang Jinyu couldn't help but sneeze twice.
Assistant Chen Ke asked with concern, "President Jiang, are you alright?"
Jiang Jinyu recalled the bright red, blood-like flowers he had seen that morning when he passed by the flowerbed at Experimental Primary School No. 1: "It's nothing, just pollen allergy. What kind of flowers are those at Experimental Primary School No. 1?"
Chen Ke replied respectfully, "Reporting to General Jiang, it is a hibiscus."
Jiang Jinyu asked in confusion, "Fusang? Isn't that a flower from the island nation?"
Chen Ke: "Exactly."
Jiang Jinyu thought to himself: Why do schools in China plant flowers from island nations?
Suddenly remembering something, he said, "Let me see the project contract for Yufeng Hotel."
Chen Ke handed the contract that he had signed with Xu Han that morning to Jiang Jinyu.
Jiang Jinyu was in a great mood. He took the contract and read it quickly, but his eyes finally settled on the word 'contract'. He was extremely shocked: "Contract?"
Suddenly realizing something, he gritted his teeth and hissed, "Shen Baiyan, it really is you! You think I'm a contractor, huh?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ke also realized that something was wrong with the contract; it was clearly not what his boss wanted.
"President Jiang, the contract has been signed, but..."
Jiang Jinyu slammed the contract on his desk, indignantly declaring, "Do it! Why wouldn't I do it! Since he wants me to be the foreman, then I'll be a good one. I'll personally oversee this."
