Chapter 302 Calling the Police
"You dare to hit me?" Zhang Hao roared, and the other men also stood up.
Ji Wan pulled Xia Guoguo towards the door, "Let's go."
The two rushed out of the box and ran down the corridor. Ji Wan made a call, "Hello, Cheng Wen, call the police, we're in trouble at the Nanjing Shuiyun Club."
Just as the two men ran to the lobby and were about to rush out of the club door, several burly bodyguards suddenly blocked their way.
"Ladies, Mr. Zhang asks you to go back." The leading bodyguard said coldly.
Ji Wan protected Xia Guoguo, holding the broken pieces of the wine bottle tightly in his hand, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
Ji Wan stared at the bodyguard in front of him with sharp eyes, holding the sharp pieces of wine bottle in his hand.
She was ready to fight to the death.
"Final warning, get out of the way." Ji Wan's voice was cold.
The leading bodyguard sneered and stepped forward, "Boss Zhang said, none of you can leave tonight."
Ji Wan quickly looked around. Opposite him was a floor-to-ceiling window, and outside was the terrace of the club.
A bold idea flashed through her mind.
"Guoguo, I'll count to three and then we'll rush over." Ji Wan whispered in Xia Guoguo's ear.
Xia Guoguo nodded in horror, her palms covered in cold sweat.
"one two three."
Ji Wan suddenly swung the broken bottle forward, forcing back the nearest bodyguard, and pulled Xia Guoguo towards the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Bang."
Ji Wan used his shoulder to push open the sliding door of the French window, and the two rushed to the terrace.
The bodyguard behind him immediately caught up and said, "Stop."
Ji Wan dragged Xia Guoguo to the edge of the terrace and looked down. About three meters below the terrace was a small platform, and below that was the bustling street.
"Jump down." Ji Wan said decisively.
"What? No, I don't dare." Xia Guoguo turned pale with fright.
The bodyguards had already chased to the terrace, and Zhang Hao also rushed over, covering his bleeding head with a ferocious expression.
"You can't run away." Zhang Hao roared.
In a hurry, Ji Wan pushed Xia Guoguo to the flower bed next to him and said, "Hide well."
Then she leaped to the platform below.
Ji Wan's body drew an arc, but suddenly he felt a pair of strong arms catch him.
"Who is so reckless?" a familiar voice sounded.
Ji Wan looked up and met Chi Wenyan's deep eyes.
He was wearing a black suit, with a stern face, and was holding her on the platform.
"Why are you here?" Ji Wan asked in surprise.
"I'm just passing by." Chi Wenyan answered indifferently, his eyes swept towards the terrace above, and he saw Zhang Hao and several bodyguards glaring at them.
Zhang Hao recognized Chi Wenyan and his expression suddenly changed. "Chi, Second Master Chi?"
Chi Wenyan sneered, "Zhang Hao, what are you doing?"
Zhang Hao's forehead was covered with sweat. "No, nothing. I was just chatting about business with Chi's employees."
"Do we need bodyguards to chase people when discussing business?" Chi Wenyan said in a cold voice, "Bring the girl upstairs down as well, otherwise..."
He didn't finish his words, but Zhang Hao was already panicking and quickly ordered his men, "Go and bring that girl down safely."
Chi Wenyan gently put Ji Wan down. Only then did she realize that a large piece of her clothes had been torn while she was running away, revealing a large area of her skin.
Chi Wenyan took off his coat and gently draped it over Ji Wan's shoulders, "Put it on."
Ji Wan wrapped his coat tightly around him and whispered, "Thank you."
"Why didn't you call the police?" Chi Wenyan asked, his voice still calm.
Ji Wan smiled bitterly, "Do you think it will help? In this situation, calling the police will only embarrass us more."
Chi Wenyan nodded and said no more.
Soon, Xia Guoguo was brought down, trembling with fear.
Ji Wan immediately went up to her and hugged her, comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay."
Zhang Hao came down with blood all over his head and tried to explain, "Second Master Chi, there's a misunderstanding."
Chi Wenyan interrupted coldly, "Zhang Hao, are you bullying my Chi family?"
Zhang Hao was shocked, "What? Chi, someone from the Chi family?" He looked at Ji Wan, his face full of confusion.
"Take them to the car." Chi Wenyan said to the assistant beside him, then turned to Zhang Hao, "Let's talk."
Ji Wan and Xia Guoguo were taken to a black business car by Chi Wenyan's assistant.
Xia Guoguo was still in shock, while Ji Wan was lost in thought.
Why was Chi Wenyan here? Why did he help her? And why did he say she was from the Chi family?
About half an hour later, Chi Wenyan came over and knocked on the car window.
The car window rolled down, Chi Wenyan looked at Ji Wan and said calmly, "Send you back?"
Ji Wan glanced at Xia Guoguo and nodded, "Thank you."
Chi Wenyan sat in the back seat, keeping a distance from Ji Wan.
The car started slowly and drove away from the club.
"I've already dealt with Zhang Hao's matter." Chi Wenyan suddenly said, "He won't cause you any more trouble."
Ji Wan turned to look at him with confusion in his eyes, "Why are you helping me?"
Chi Wenyan didn't look at her, but looked out the window. "I just happened to be passing by. If I don't help someone in need, it would not be in line with my principles."
Ji Wan didn't ask any more questions, but he knew in his heart that this couldn't be a coincidence.
When the car entered the highway, Xia Guoguo had already fallen asleep leaning on the seat with tear marks on her face.
"Your coat." Ji Wan whispered.
"Keep it and return it to me someday."
Ji Wan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What is your relationship with Chi Lin?"
Chi Wenyan finally looked at her with a deep gaze, "Why do you ask that?"
"I'm a little curious, so can you tell me?"
"I'm from the Chi family's side branch." Chi Wenyan answered briefly, then changed the subject, "Zhang Hao dared to attack you because someone was behind it."
Ji Wan sneered, "Of course, I know who it is."
Chi Wenyan said no more and the carriage fell into silence.
It was already early morning when they arrived in Yucheng. Chi Wenyan first sent Xia Guoguo home, and then drove to Ji Wan's apartment.
"We're here." Chi Wenyan said as the car stopped at the entrance of the community.
Ji Wan unbuckled his seat belt and hesitated for a moment, "Thank you for your help tonight, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
Chi Wenyan nodded, "Mr. Ji, take care."
Ji Wan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to call her that. She smiled softly, opened the car door, and got out. Before she turned and closed the door, she said, "I'll return your coat some other day."
Chi Wenyan did not respond. He watched her walk into the community before letting the driver drive away.
The next morning, as soon as Ji Wan arrived at the company, he heard an explosive news.
"Have you heard? Mr. Zhang was taken away by the police."
"Is this true? What's going on?"
"They said he was suspected of multiple economic crimes and sexual harassment and was reported by someone."
Ji Wan walked to his workstation. Cheng Wen hurried over with a complicated expression, "Ji Wan, are you okay? I heard about last night."
"I'm fine." Ji Wan replied calmly, "What about that project?"
Cheng Wen pushed his glasses up. "Mr. Zhang was arrested, so that project is naturally dead. But Manager Liu asked me to tell you that there are two new projects to choose from."
