regret?
Cheng Zijun's eyes were full of disdain.
He'd be overjoyed to divorce someone like Jiang Ning, so why would he regret it? Besides, he now has such an excellent plan in his hands!
As long as they can successfully sign a contract with the Shen family using that plan, City A will belong to the Cheng family from now on!
**
It was already late at night.
Jiang Ning was walking on the empty road with her bag on her back. She had just taken out her phone from her pocket to call a ride-hailing car when she suddenly heard faint cries for help coming from not far away.
"Help!"
"Help!"
"......."
Jiang Ning's ears twitched slightly, and she quickly locked onto the direction of the sound source, then ran over quickly.
Following the sound, they ran into a dark alley and saw several thugs bullying a girl.
The girl's clothes were torn.
Her snow-white skin was exposed, appearing particularly dazzling under the streetlights.
"stop!"
Jiang Ning roared angrily.
The bullied girl immediately looked up.
Then I saw a slender figure appear in front of me. She was standing against the light, wearing a baseball cap, and had a cool posture. Although I couldn't see her face, she looked like a hero.
The girl was instantly filled with hope, crying out, "Help, help me!"
The thugs turned around at that moment, and seeing that the newcomer was another girl, one of the tattooed men leered, "Hey, another one's come knocking! Brothers, we're in for a treat tonight!"
Upon hearing this, the other thugs all laughed maliciously.
"Let her go," Jiang Ning then said.
The tattooed man's eyes gleamed with a lewd light. "What if I don't let go?"
As he spoke, he even touched the girl's chest.
Without wasting words, Jiang Ning leaped into the air. In the blink of an eye, her skills were superb, and her attacks were swift and ruthless!
Before the girl could even react, half of the seven or eight thugs had already fallen to the ground.
Seeing that half of his brothers had fallen, the tattooed man pulled out a fruit knife he was carrying and held it to the girl's neck, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted, "Don't come any closer! Otherwise, otherwise I'll kill her!"
The girl's face, which had finally calmed down, turned deathly pale in an instant. She could feel that her skin had been cut by the sharp blade.
It hurts a little.
Jiang Ning had just been reborn, and her five senses were still slowly recovering. The original owner's physical condition was not very good to begin with, and she had just used up almost all her strength.
Just as Jiang Ning was pondering what to do, a pebble flew from the other end of the alley and hit the tattooed man directly in the leg.
Snap!
The tattooed man felt a piercing pain in his knee and collapsed to his knees. At that moment, a figure as swift as the wind joined in. The man was as tall as a jade tree, wearing a white shirt with the cuffs casually rolled up, revealing his strong and muscular forearms.
He was very skilled; in just a few moves, the thugs fell one after another.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Ning immediately walked up to the girl, took off his coat, and draped it over her shoulders to cover her exposed skin. He said gently, "Don't be afraid, it's alright."
Her voice was like the warm sun in winter, dispelling the chill and bringing a sense of security. The girl felt all the fear that had enveloped her vanish, and she hugged Jiang Ning tightly, sobbing, "Thank you..."
If it weren't for Jiang Ning, she would have been ruined by these thugs tonight.
Bang!
As the last thug fell to the ground, the man took out a handkerchief from his suit trouser pocket and carefully wiped away non-existent dust from his hands. The cool moonlight cast a silvery glow on his face.
He lowered his eyes slightly, his somewhat cool gaze falling on Jiang Ning. His deep, magnetic voice was very pleasant to listen to. "Not bad."
Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyes.
In an instant, it fell into a pair of deep phoenix eyes.
The man had an exceptionally handsome face, radiant and refined, with an air of nobility in his eyes and brows, even more aloof than the moonlight.
Their eyes met.
His gaze was piercing, like a beast lurking in the darkness, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment, his sharp eyes carrying a hint of coldness and ruthlessness.
But she showed no fear, meeting his gaze openly and speaking in a soft tone, "You're alright too."
Isn't she afraid of him?
The man was clearly taken aback for a moment.
