"Put down your weapon. If you comply, we will treat you leniently," the officer began, trying to soften the blow.
"Ha, I'm determined to kill myself by kidnapping Jiang Hua today. Give in now? Impossible!" The photographer waved his arms wildly, afraid that the police would get close.
"Really, you're in a bad mood right now. If we put down the knife, we'll be lenient with you. Otherwise, you'll be charged with assaulting a police officer again." The police officer was kind-hearted and gave them a good talking-to.
"I'm perfectly lucid now. If you want me to kill Jiang Hua, no one can stop me." The photographer rushed towards Jiang Hua like a madman, his knife aimed straight at her.
"Watch out!" shouted the officer beside her. Jiang Hua ducked, avoiding the blade.
The photographer, still unwilling to give up, stabbed again, but Jiang Hua simply delivered a side kick, sending the photographer flying.
"Do you think I'm easy to bully? If you hadn't used tricks, would you have been able to kidnap me?" Jiang Hua said with a cold laugh, her usual kindness gone, her eyes filled with icy indifference.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you guys to be so difficult to deal with. You forced me into this." The photographer pulled out a gun from his pocket and cocked it. "This isn't my fault, you're all going to die—" The photographer pointed the gun at Jiang Hua.
A gunshot rang out. Jiang Hua was unharmed, but the police shot and wounded the photographer's arm. "Ah—" the photographer screamed in pain, forced to handcuff himself to the police.
"Don't think you can escape once you've messed with me!" Jiang Hua stood beside the photographer, a slight smile playing on her lips, her expression icy. "I may be kind, but that doesn't mean I'm easy to bully. Enjoy your future days!"
Such river paintings are like swaying poppies, beautiful yet ruthless, and no one can resist them.
After finishing her business, Jiang Hua was overjoyed. She immediately hailed a taxi and went home, intending to take a shower and get some rest. As soon as she entered the house, she saw the person who had been on a business trip sitting in the living room, looking at documents.
Jiang Hua's cheerful steps suddenly stopped, and she felt her body stiffen.
Gu Yiming glanced at Jiang Hua standing by the door and asked, "What are you doing standing there? Where did you go?"
Jiang Hua lingered as she walked towards Gu Yiming, thinking that he probably didn't know what had happened today. She looked up at him with a grin and said, "Why are you back so early?"
Gu Yiming snorted coldly, and instead of replying to her question, asked, "Where have you been flirting with other women this time?"
Jiang Hua pouted and said, "I didn't!" Then, she rushed to Gu Yiming's side, took his hand, and asked, "Why are you back so early? Didn't you say you'd be back later when you left?"
Gu Yiming grabbed her and pinned her down. He slapped her twice on the butt and said, "Aren't you going to explain yourself? What happened at the press conference? You went out and flirted with other women the moment I wasn't there!"
Jiang Hua's legs kept kicking. Hearing Gu Yiming's words, and knowing he knew what had happened today, she felt a little guilty and indignant, saying, "I didn't flirt! He's clearly blind!"
Seeing that she showed no remorse, Gu Yiming pressed her down again. He slapped her on the bottom a few more times, saying, "Still being stubborn!"
Thinking about what she had just said about that man being blind, her anger flared up even more. If that man was blind to have fallen for her, then was he blind too?! She never listens to reason and keeps causing trouble. She won't even talk back when asked, so what else can be done but give her a few slaps on the bottom?
Are you suggesting we beat her up?
Gu Yiming grew angrier the more he thought about it, and muttered a curse under his breath, "Yes! I'm blind!"
Jiang Hua was lost in thought and didn't hear Gu Yiming's words clearly, so she looked up and asked, "What did you just say?"
Gu Yiming felt a surge of anger welling up inside him, but he couldn't bear to vent it on her, so he tried to distract her. He started asking about the man. "Explain everything that's happened these past few days to me!"
Jiang Hua pursed her lips and lowered her head. She obediently recounted what had happened recently: "That day I went to a shoot and ran into this guy. He actually touched my butt! Of course I couldn't stand it, so I immediately held a press conference. I told him everything that guy had done to me, and after a while, some minor celebrities started following suit and telling him what had happened to him."
"Then that guy made such a big fuss. He had won a lot of awards and had some fame, and then it was all over. He blamed me. That day I wanted to go out with Wenwen, but she wasn't there. So I had to go out alone."
"After I finished shopping, I went to a coffee shop and saw some of my fans outside, so I had to hide. I came out through the back door of the coffee shop."
At this point, Jiang Hua paused. She glanced up at Gu Yiming, noticing his extremely unpleasant expression. She hesitated to continue.
"Continue!" Gu Yiming's cold voice sounded exceptionally loud in the empty space.
Jiang Hua was startled, but continued, "Then I went out through the back door of that coffee shop. That man tied me up, and when I woke up I found myself in an old warehouse. Not long after I woke up, he pushed the door open and came in, and started touching me inappropriately."
Jiang Hua's tone became somewhat indignant as she spoke.
When Gu Yiming heard her say that the man had touched her inappropriately, the rage in his eyes was so intense it could burn a person alive. Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yiming said, "How did he touch you!"
"I, he..." Jiang Hua didn't know how to say it. She also didn't want to talk about it, because if she hadn't been smart, she probably wouldn't have been innocent if she hadn't remembered that scene.
"Speak!" Gu Yiming frowned and said, "Or point it out to me!"
Jiang Hua could only say, "He slapped me twice and tried to take off my clothes..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yiming picked up the cup on the table and smashed it down.
The noise startled Jiang Hua; that cup was one he usually liked to use…
Gu Yiming looked at the woman in his arms and said, "You were trying to hide it from me? Have you been asking for a beating lately? Can't you just call if you need anything? You're not allowed to leave the house for the time being!"
Gu Yiming stood up. He couldn't bear to touch her! And someone else beat her up! And now they still wanted to hurt her!
Thinking this, Gu Yiming immediately sent men to arrest him. He'd chop off that bastard's hand!
Seeing that the person in his arms didn't dare to move, Gu Yiming had no choice but to let her take a shower. Before she went, he stared at Jiang Hua's face for a while. Only after confirming that everything was alright did Gu Yiming let her go, which made Jiang Hua feel a little uncomfortable. But she had to bear the consequences of her own actions, no matter what.
Jiang Hua hid in the bathroom for almost half an hour, feeling that Gu Yiming's anger should have subsided by now. She was about to go out when Gu Yiming caught her.
Jiang Hua wanted to run away, but when Gu Yiming asked her a question, she didn't dare to move at all.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Jiang Hua frowned and smiled at Gu Yiming.
Gu Yiming sneered, "Really ugly!"
Jiang Hua could only lower her head and do nothing. Even if she wanted to do something else, before she could even reach out, Gu Yiming would grab her and slap her hand away.
Then, in an unusually gentle voice, she asked, "Reflect on your actions carefully and think clearly about what a person who reflects on their actions should do."
Jiang Hua could only lean her head against Gu Yiming's chest, motionless. She was afraid of angering him and getting herself into trouble. And so, she unknowingly fell asleep.
