Chapter 13 Strip her naked
After all, the Lu Group wields considerable power. Even if Ning Junzhe has friends in the court, they might not dare to help her. If they do help her, they might offend Lu Junyan, thus implicating him.
Jiang Ning kept these thoughts to himself without saying them aloud, but Ning Junzhe could guess what they meant from Jiang Ning's expression. He didn't make any promises to Jiang Ning, only saying that he would consult with him when they met tomorrow, so that Jiang Ning wouldn't feel burdened.
The next day, Ning Junzhe didn't even go to work at the juvenile detention center. Jiang Ning asked the director of education, who said that Ning Junzhe had asked for leave, saying that he went to the court to learn about a major matter concerning his lifelong happiness. Jiang Ning was both amused and exasperated.
In the office, Jiang Ning organized spreadsheets until lunch break, while the thunderstorm outside intensified.
She wasn't afraid of thunder, but her office was in a rather remote location at the end of the second-floor corridor. It was lunchtime now, and almost all the teachers had left. After all, the juvenile detention center was like half a prison, very oppressive. Even during the short lunch break, the teachers would try every means to escape.
Only two instructors remained on duty, but based on Jiang Ning's experience, these two instructors were most likely taking a nap, which made the whole building eerily empty, so a sudden clap of thunder was quite frightening.
Jiang Ning, as a psychological counselor, needs to be on call at any time, so she did not leave and ordered takeout for lunch.
Check the app; the food delivery should have arrived by now.
Jiang Ning was just about to contact the delivery rider when there was a sudden knock on the office door.
"A food delivery person."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning opened the door, but the person standing at the door was not the delivery guy.
Meanwhile, Chu Qingxue took the day off and is on her way to the Lu Group.
The thunderstorm made the already congested traffic even worse. While driving, Chu Qingxue would occasionally open WeChat, but the person she was chatting with was not Lu Junyan.
Joker: Everything's arranged. Just go around that time.
Chu Qingxue replied with "okay," put down her phone, stepped on the gas, and the pink sports car sped away through the thunderstorm.
Juvenile detention center.
Jiang Ning was cornered in his office by a group of problem students.
The one in the lead was Zhang Hai, who had previously led the bullying of Ning Junzhe.
Zhang Hai was tall and strong, and even at only 16 years old, his face looked quite fleshy.
As a psychological counselor here, Jiang Ning has some understanding of these troubled students.
Those who can be admitted to juvenile detention centers are all minors who have committed crimes.
Zhang Hai was the most heinous of them all; he raped two of his classmates when he was only 14 years old, and one of them didn't even dare to report it to the police.
Even after entering the juvenile detention center, he spent his days fighting and forming gangs.
Because his family had some influence, the people in the juvenile detention center mostly turned a blind eye to his misdeeds.
Zhang Hai threw the takeout Jiang Ning ordered directly into the trash can, then gave Jiang Ning a sly grin.
Hello, Teacher Jiang!
The last one clicked the office door shut.
This group of people clearly had ill intentions. Jiang Ning was forced to the window and silently gripped the thermos on his desk.
What are you trying to do?
Jiang Ning glared angrily, but she was, after all, a girl, and had no power to intimidate a group of strong boys.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask if Ms. Jiang has a boyfriend? Would you consider me?"
Zhang Hai pointed to his nose.
Jiang Ning forced herself to remain calm and said firmly, "I am already married, I am a married woman."
"Married women are even better! We guys have no experience, so why don't you teach us, Teacher Jiang..."
Before Zhang Hai could finish speaking, he tried to grope Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning retaliated by smashing a thermos cup on Zhang Hai's temple.
Zhang Hai let out a scream, and his henchmen immediately rushed up to try and subdue Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning had learned Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) and self-defense techniques for a period of time when she was young, so she could still fight back to some extent. At first, the people Zhang Hai brought were not able to gain much advantage over her.
However, women have an inherent disadvantage in strength and physique, and coupled with the fact that the other side had a large number of people, it was not long before Jiang Ning's face and body were bruised and battered, her clothes were torn, and she was in a sorry state.
"Damn it, get her! Kill her!"
Zhang Hai cursed under his breath, grabbed Jiang Ning's hair, and slammed Jiang Ning's head against the window frame.
"Hurry up, strip her naked!"
With such a loud commotion coming from the office, yet no one came to check on her, Jiang Ning realized that she couldn't rely on anyone else to save her; she had to save herself.
She kicked Zhang Hai in the groin, flung open the window with a whoosh, and jumped off the second floor without a second thought.
Outside, thunder and rain raged, and the sky was pitch black, like a giant pot covered in mud.
Jiang Ning didn't know how she escaped from the juvenile detention center. She was terrified and ran blindly, her mind completely blank.
When she limped onto the main road, she realized that she was soaked from head to toe, looking like a drowned rat.
Jiang Ning shed tears of fear and grievance, but they were hidden in the torrential rain and no one could tell.
Just then, a black Maybach drove by, stopped, and splashed Jiang Ning with water.
Even in the pouring rain, Jiang Ning wouldn't mistake the license plate number because it was so familiar.
The car window rolled down, and Jiang Ning saw Lu Junyan sitting in the back seat.
For a moment, she held her breath.
Lu Junyan was still the same as ever, dressed in a suit and exuding an elite aura. His deep eyes, like the sea, instantly overwhelmed her disheveled figure.
Jiang Ning felt that God really loved to play jokes on her, making her meet Lu Junyan at this very moment.
Lu Junyan was scrutinizing her, his eyes like snakes crawling all over her body, leaving behind a trail of slime.
It wasn't contempt or disdain, nor was there surprise or pity. Jiang Ning couldn't understand Lu Junyan's gaze; she simply realized that she looked very embarrassing.
Wavering between offering an explanation and remaining silent, Jiang Ning ultimately missed the opportunity to speak.
"Come on up!"
Lu Junyan's voice was gentler than I had imagined.
Jiang Ning stood in the torrential rain, his figure blurry and thin, shivering.
Her long hair, soaked through, clung to her scalp, making it appear even blacker, which accentuated the pallor of her unmade-up face. Her lips were also pale, a pitiful sight. Her business attire was visibly torn, and her skin was covered in abrasions.
Lu Junyan observed Jiang Ning without making a sound. This was the first time he had realized that Jiang Ning actually had a unique charm after being soaked.
Jiang Ning had no other choice at the moment. Just as he was about to open the car door, someone suddenly leaned out from the back seat.
"Jiang Ning, why are you so wet? Come on up!"
Chu Qingxue seemed very concerned about her.
Jiang Ning shouldn't be surprised to see Chu Qingxue in Lu Junyan's car.
But given her current disheveled state, she really didn't want to be compared to Chu Qingxue as a comparison group.
Chu Qingxue was still wearing her pink suit, and it seemed that she had deliberately unbuttoned an extra button on her shirt collar. Jiang Ning didn't want to find out who had unbuttoned it.
Chu Qingxue's makeup was always exquisite and sweet, but her lip makeup was smudged at this moment. Jiang Ning didn't want to find out who had smudged Chu Qingxue's lipstick.
"What are you standing there for? You'll catch a cold if you stay in the rain any longer." Chu Qingxue invited again, "Hurry up and get in the car. Junyan won't mind if you get his car dirty. There's room between us."
