Jian Yixue pretended to be reluctant, saying, "Sigh, I want to leave too, but Xuan Jin won't let me. He insists I stay and says he wants to marry me."
As Jian Yixue spoke, she kept glancing at the woman's expression. After seeing the woman's varied expressions, she decided to add another strong dose of medicine.
The woman's expression shifted rapidly after hearing this, her face showing hurt and a wave of desolation washing over her.
Suddenly remembering something, she looked at Jian Yixue, who was standing to the side with a helpless expression, with surprise.
"What did you just say? You want to leave?"
The woman was somewhat incredulous, wondering if she had misheard. How could anyone be willing to leave Brother Jin?
He's so outstanding, so capable, handsome, and rich—even the most eligible bachelors can't compare to her Jin-gege.
The woman in front of me actually said she wanted to leave?
Jian Yixue nodded with an embarrassed expression.
Upon hearing this, the woman was overjoyed; it was indeed true, and she hadn't misheard.
"I'll help you."
The woman was overjoyed and didn't have time to think about it carefully. She could already imagine what it would be like if her beloved Jin fell in love with her.
Jian Yixue feigned a smile, then glanced outside before looking away, her eyes dim and her face full of worry. "How can you help me? Look at all those people watching outside."
The woman turned her head to look outside, then said confidently to Jian Yixue, "You don't need to worry about that, I have a way."
Seeing this, Jian Yixue did not press the matter further, lest she arouse the woman's suspicion.
"Could you get me a cell phone? I suddenly went missing and I'm worried about my family. I want to let them know I'm safe."
Jian Yixue looked at the woman with a pitiful and aggrieved expression.
I should have brought my phone with me when I went out. Now it's a hassle to even send a message to let them know I'm safe.
When she goes out in the future, she will definitely put a few spare machines in her space, just in case.
When the woman saw Jian Yixue like this, she assumed that Jian Yixue wanted to let her parents know that she was safe. She was instantly filled with sympathy and completely forgot about the unpleasantness between her and Jian Yixue before.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll have someone bring it to you later."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue immediately put on a feigned surprised smile and nodded, "Then I'll thank you in advance."
The woman was so fooled by Jian Yixue that she had no idea why she came here. At this moment, she was only thinking about how to get Jian Yixue out and stop her from monopolizing Jiang Xuanjin.
After the woman left, Jian Yixue happily went back to her room to take a nap.
The reason she didn't leave was because she didn't know what the situation was like outside, so she decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
The most urgent task is to contact Ye Mohan.
He must be very worried if I just disappear like this.

On the other side, the underground city.
Although it's called a city, it's actually a small mountain peak near the sea.
This is a mountain peak on the outskirts of Saint Namer County, the capital of the United States. Facing the sea, the entire mountain is dotted with more than a dozen identical detached villas.
The beach here retains its original appearance, and hardly anyone comes here except for the people inside the underground city.
Outsiders thought this was just an ordinary villa area, but in reality, it belonged to one person from the very beginning: the ruler of the underground Dark Empire of the M country—the Remnant God.
This place is their lair, also known as the underground city by people in the underworld.
However, no one knew that this was the underground city, and no one would have thought that the underground city, which everyone in the underworld feared, would be located in such a beautiful place.
In a villa in the underground city, in a dimly lit room, the "Brother Jin" the woman mentioned was interrogating a man covered in wounds.
Jiang Xuanjin's face was as cold as ice, showing no trace of pity. He watched his subordinates beside him, who were whipping the man kneeling on the ground with a leather whip.
The man on the ground was in so much pain that his face was contorted, and he kept begging for mercy.
"Master Jin, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never dare to do it again, please let me go."
Sitting in the chair, Jiang Xuanjin looked down at the begging man, ignoring his screams and pleas as if he couldn't hear them.
The man's screams continued incessantly, and the people patrolling outside the room couldn't help but shudder when they heard them.
Silently, she felt sorry for the man. Of all people to offend, he had to provoke his master. Everyone in the underworld knows that if you anger Master Jin, you won't stop until you draw blood!
Then the patrolmen continued their patrols, fearing that if they made a mistake, they would suffer the same fate.
After a long while, Jiang Xuanjin, who was sitting in his seat, gestured for the person next to him to stop. His face was as gloomy as if a storm was about to break out. "Who gave you the audacity to hurt her?"
The man on the ground was in excruciating pain, but when he saw that the beating had finally stopped, he breathed a sigh of relief. If he had continued to be beaten like that, he would probably have gone to the underworld prematurely.
“Master Jin, I will never dare to do it again. The surveillance there is too strict. If I don’t knock her unconscious, I will not be able to bring her back if she calls for help.”
The man on the ground was covered in blood, and even breathing aggravated his wounds, causing him to turn pale with pain.
But since Master Jin had spoken, he dared not disobey, otherwise he might lose his life.
That woman clearly belonged to that man; how could he have known that she was the one Master Jin had his eye on?
If he had known earlier, he would never have dared to lay a hand on her, even if it meant his death.
"So that's why you attacked her? Hmm?"
Jiang Xuanjin clearly wasn't buying it, and looked at the man with displeasure.
In his eyes, once he laid a hand on Jian Yixue, he laid a hand on her, regardless of the reason.
