Jiang Wen was wrapped in Jun Xian's suit jacket. The man pushed her into the hotel bathroom and then reached out to tear at her clothes. Jiang Wen turned pale with fright and spoke in a trembling voice.
"Junxian, what are you doing! Let go of me!"
She clutched her coat, her eyes red as she looked at the man whose face was filled with gloom.
Jun Xian stared into her cold and angry eyes, his expression darkening. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it in front of Jiang Wen.
The pungent smell of cigarettes instantly filled the entire bathroom, and his bloodshot eyes were faintly visible through the bluish-white smoke.
"Xu Xiaoxin, let's stop playing this game."
Jiang Wen, wrapped in her suit jacket, looked flustered and at a loss. A chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, enveloping her entire body from the inside out, and her breathing became rapid.
"Junxian, I don't understand what you're saying."
Jun Xian tossed the half-smoked cigarette at Jiang Wen's feet, his tall figure moving slowly. He carried the scent of tobacco and a faint fragrance from his body. He stomped out the embers on the ground and approached Jiang Wen's petite and slender body.
“Xu Xiaoxin, I’m telling you, you’ve had enough of this game.”
Jiang Wen's eyes were red-rimmed, and his gaze was cold and pained as he stared at him; "I don't know what you're talking about."
Jun Xian cupped the girl's face in his hands, bent down and looked down, his gaze able to see through all the hidden emotions in Jiang Wen's eyes.
"Do you think that Si Ye alone can defeat those old fogies who covet the Jiang family? Do you think that by announcing your relationship with Si Ye, getting engaged and married, and having Si Ye marry into the Jiang family and take over the Jiang family business, you can guarantee that the Jiang family will not change its surname?"
Xu Xiaoxin, believe it or not, once the news of your engagement to Si Ye gets out, things will only get worse. Do you know how many people are after you right now?
Do you think the Jiang family treats you well? You're nothing but a pawn in their game.
Xu Xiaoxin, you are not the real Jiang Wen, that's why you're always so naive.
What do you think your identity as Miss Jiang is? Let me tell you, it will become the shackles that bind you.
Jiang Wen looked dazed, his eyes filled with tears.
Junxian's expression was unfathomable as he gently wiped away the girl's tears.
“Xu Xiaoxin, come back behind me. No one can make you do something you don’t like.”
His voice was cold, yet seductive.
If she goes back to being Xu Xiaoxin behind him, she won't have to get involved in business conspiracies she doesn't understand at all, she won't have to give up her marriage for the Jiang family, and she won't be schemed against and fought over by others in the future.
When Jiang Wen laughed, tears fell like beads from a broken string, running down her delicate profile, from her chin into the man's palm. Her face and his hands were both wet and sticky.
"Junxian, I don't want to be that mistress hiding in the shadows, someone who can't see the light of day!"
The man's hand movements visibly froze.
Jiang Wen had known his attitude for a long time, but at this moment, her heart still ached.
Even if you've died once, you'll still love again if you've loved someone before.
She raised her hand, her cold fingers slowly prying open the man's large hand that was holding her cheek. Her eyes were red but her gaze was calm, and her hoarse voice was like a dull knife cutting into flesh, scraping at Jun Xian's heart.
"If you hadn't kept pestering her, she wouldn't have been retaliated against by the Jun and Xiao families, and she wouldn't have become the Miss Jiang you mentioned. Jun Xian, you killed her and let the murderer go unpunished."
She stared at the man's increasingly reddened eyes, her hoarse voice cold and devoid of any emotion; "You said you would protect her, but you failed, so she will never forgive you, never..."
The man's tall frame suddenly became somewhat unsteady. He took two steps back and leaned against the wall, his trembling hand reaching for the cigarette pack in his suit trousers.
Jiang Wen pressed down on his hand, and the man raised his scarlet eyes to look at her, his hoarse voice somewhat rough.
"what you do?"
Jiang Wen ignored the confusion in his eyes; "Go outside to smoke, I need to take a shower."
Junxian looked into her eyes, wanting to say something, but it felt like there was a blade in his throat, so painful that he couldn't make a sound.
In the end, Junxian left the bathroom.
Jiang Wen leaned against the wall limply, as if she had lost her bones. She turned on the shower and let the cold water flow freely over her body.
...
In a dimly lit basement, the sound of fists clashing against flesh mingled with a few faint pleas for mercy.
He Zhan's naked body was almost entirely covered in blood. His once handsome face was now so swollen and red that it was unrecognizable. When he opened his mouth, bright red liquid trickled down his lips and onto the cold, hard cement floor.
"President Huo...President Yu...I didn't know she and..."
Before he could finish speaking, the burly man in black kicked the man hard in the face again, interrupting him before he could finish speaking. A large, bloody tooth flew out, rolled a few times on the ground, and landed at Yu Chiyan's feet.
He sat on a black leather sofa, his dark suit making him appear noble and mysterious. He was relaxed, yet he exuded a chilling murderous intent. Standing next to him was Huo Xiting, whose face was grim. In the entire basement, apart from faint pleas for mercy and the sounds of beatings, no one made a sound.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chen pushed open the door from the outside and came in, bringing with him the only light.
"Master, He Anrong heard that Young Master He is in your hands, and he has already taken his men to the company."
A cold smile slowly crept onto Yu Chiyan's indifferent face; "His news came quickly."
Jiang Chen lowered his head and saw He Zhan's miserable state, which made him feel uneasy. He then spoke to Yu Chiyan again.
"Master, if this continues, Young Master He will lose his life."
It's been a whole night. If we really kill He Zhan, the He family will definitely not let it go.
The He family is a prominent family in Nancheng. Although Yu Chiyan is not afraid of the He family, these are turbulent times. He's father is a treacherous and cunning man who only likes to do things behind the scenes. As the old saying goes, it is hard to guard against a villain.
Looking at the man who had fainted again, Yu Chiyan finally took pity on him and spoke.
"Take him to the hospital, lest he die."
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and gave a wink to the bodyguard next to him. The two of them immediately stepped forward and carried the limp and powerless He Zhan away from the basement.
Yu Chiyan stood up, his aura exuding a sense of oppression. His gaze fell on the man on the other side, his tone as cold as frost.
"Huo Xiting, since you brought Yaoyao to Yeli, you should pay the price for your actions."
He probably already guessed what Yu Chiyan wanted to do, and Huo Xiting's expression became even more unpleasant.
"Yu Chiyan, you are shameless."
Yu Chiyan glanced at him coldly, his eyes devoid of any emotion; "There's no need to be noble when dealing with you."
With just that one simple sentence, the man turned and left.
