Chapter 165 House Arrest
Even now, he still doesn't know what exactly happened to Jiang Ning.
All he knew was that tomorrow was his wedding, but he didn't want to get married and couldn't sleep.
Just as he was tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep, a sudden, unfamiliar MMS message jolted him fully awake.
The MMS message contained only one photo.
The background of the photo is an abandoned dock at night, and the subject is a mobile phone.
Ning Junzhe didn't recognize anything else, but he found that phone very familiar.
That's Jiang Ning's cell phone.
Ning Junzhe was initially suspicious of who sent him these photos and what their purpose was. Later, after leaving his room, he couldn't reach Jiang Ning and heard that a fugitive from City A had fled to Country M and kidnapped Chu Qingxue to extort Lu Junyan.
All of this made Ning Junzhe feel flustered and confused.
He quickly looked for the abandoned dock in the photo, and sure enough, he found Jiang Ning there.
Jiang Ning was soaked to the bone, looking as if he had just climbed out of the sea, dragging his increasingly tired body along the way, leaving clear watermarks.
But she eventually collapsed from exhaustion.
Her phone was right next to her.
However, the phone wasn't broken or wet.
Ning Junzhe found it strange.
Jiang Ning could tell that something must have happened.
The person who sent him the photo probably wanted him to save Jiang Ning.
The question is, why?
Jiang Ning is Lu Junyan's wife, and everyone who attended his wedding with Fu Xinyue knew this perfectly well.
The other party contacted him instead of Lu Junyan...
Ning Junzhe always felt that there was some kind of scheming involved.
However, even though the other party's motives were impure, they still helped him a lot.
Ning Junzhe thought, perhaps this is fate!
Since fate had brought him and Jiang Ning together, he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity.
So, Ning Junzhe took the unconscious Jiang Ning to the seaside villa in Azure Bay.
Jiang Ning had injuries on his hands, as if he had been cut by a sharp object, and there were also obvious marks on his wrists where the skin had been scraped by something.
Ning Junzhe treated Jiang Ning's wounds, applied medicine, and then helped Jiang Ning take off her wet clothes.
Jiang Ning was wearing a formal dress, but she wore seamless underwear underneath.
My underwear was wet, but not too wet.
Ning Junzhe hesitated for a moment, but did not take advantage of Jiang Ning. He carried Jiang Ning, who was wearing only underwear, to the bed so that she could rest.
Through the clean floor-to-ceiling glass window, Jiang Ning was fast asleep inside.
Ning Junzhe didn't dare to go in.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself.
As the sun rises above the sea, the dark water shimmers under the sunlight, gradually regaining its original azure blue.
Jiang Ning didn't know how long she had slept.
All she knew was that when she woke up, the surroundings were unfamiliar.
She also remembered being kidnapped by Qian Dazhi and escaping by jumping into the sea midway.
She had already swum ashore, but the massive loss of strength and body temperature eventually caused her to collapse.
At that time, Jiang Ning had no idea what his fate would be.
Qian Dazhi's accomplices have guns, and if they refuse to let her go no matter what, she may be taken away after she falls unconscious.
They might also be killed.
Jiang Ning almost fainted from the overwhelming panic.
However, now that she's awake and looking around, she shouldn't have been taken to NM.
This is a Mediterranean-style seaside villa where you can hear the waves crashing.
Jiang Ning had just noticed that she was not wearing any clothes when she heard a man's voice.
"You're finally awake."
The person who walked out from behind the floor-to-ceiling glass window surprised Jiang Ning quite a bit.
"Ning Junzhe?"
"Um……"
Ning Junzhe smiled slightly, a smile similar to the one he had when they first met, exuding the youthful energy unique to college students.
However, Jiang Ning couldn't laugh.
"Ning Junzhe, what time is it now? Is it your wedding?"
"I ran away."
Jiang Ning was taken aback.
Ning Junzhe spoke these words too casually, and the smile on his face did not waver in the slightest.
However, Jiang Ning couldn't help but shiver.
They escaped?
Does it mean running away from a marriage?
"Jiang Ning, it was me who saved you... I am your savior..."
Ning Junzhe spoke as he walked toward Jiangning.
Jiang Ning stared at Ning Junzhe with wide eyes.
Ning Junzhe still looks like the same Ning Junzhe.
However, for some reason, a chill ran through her from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing Jiang Ning covering his body completely with the blanket, Ning Junzhe curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
What if I told you... you're already mine?
Jiang Ning silently gritted his teeth.
Jiang Ning found Ning Junzhe's cold smile quite unfamiliar.
In her memory, Ning Junzhe, whether before or after inheriting the family business, was a kind and simple student by nature.
However, now...
This was the first time Jiang Ning had felt fear towards Ning Junzhe.
Ning Junzhe pressed down on Jiang Ning, pinning him down.
"What if I said... I'm going to put you under house arrest, and from now on you'll never be able to leave here again?"
Ning Junzhe, who was so close at hand, uttered a single word that was a blatant threat to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning did not avoid Ning Junzhe's burning and sharp gaze.
She was silent for a moment, then shook her head.
No, you won't do that.
"I've already done that!"
"Thank you for saving me."
Jiang Ning's sincere thanks surprised Ning Junzhe.
Seeing Ning Junzhe's face contorted with complex emotions, Jiang Ning sighed.
“Since you’ve already taken off my clothes, why keep my underwear on… And if you want to confine me, you can choose a more secluded and closed place… Most importantly, although I haven’t known you for very long, I believe you would never do anything to hurt me.”
Jiang Ning looked directly into Ning Junzhe's eyes, and his sincere gaze made Ning Junzhe lower his head in shame.
"I'm not as good as you say..."
Ning Junzhe clenched his fist.
"I really..."
He really considered keeping Jiang Ning under house arrest in the villa for the rest of his life.
Anyway, Jiang Ning has no connections; his family consists only of his mother, who lives in a nursing home.
Lu Junyan doesn't love Jiang Ning, nor does he care what happens to Jiang Ning if she falls into his hands.
Ning Junzhe had seriously considered all of this while Jiang Ning was in a coma.
Anyway, he can't win Jiang Ning's love.
It would be better to get Jiang Ning first.
"I don't deserve your trust at all, I..."
“Ning Junzhe…”
Jiang Ning interrupted Ning Junzhe.
Ning Junzhe's expression was one of pain, contradiction, self-blame, and resentment.
Jiang Ning knew that Ning Junzhe hadn't lied to her.
Perhaps he was just a hair's breadth away from falling into Ning Junzhe's hands and losing his freedom forever.
but……
"No matter what you planned in your heart, in the end you didn't do it..."
"No, I did it!"
Ning Junzhe said firmly.
Jiang Ning was puzzled.
What did you do?
"I told him when Lu Junyan called you..."
Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat.
She never expected to hear Lu Junyan's name from Ning Junzhe.
So... Lu Junyan did call her...?
