Song Wei thought that she definitely would not be able to escape this time. Unexpectedly, in the next second, the room door was opened from the outside.

The lecherous man failed to make his move again and grew enraged. “I’ll kill whoever f*cking dares to hinder me again!”

The only response he got was a cold gunshot. The bullet went straight through his left shoulder, and the impact threw him to the ground.

In an instant, a miserable howl echoed through the entire room. The man rolled around, shedding blood all over the ground.

Song Wei forced open her eyelids and looked towards the door.

Jiang Mingxu was standing in front of the door, and white smoke was still coming out of the muzzle of the Desert Eagle in his hand.

At this moment, the murderous aura on his body seemed to have gained a physical form. His icy gaze seemed like it would kill without a trace in the next second.

Meanwhile, this Zhou Huiqian—who had always been insufferably arrogant as she played with others in the palm of her hand—was bearing a black face as she followed beside him. She looked defeated.

She had never suffered such humiliation ever since she was born.

Jiang Mingxu was really a ruthless person. He did not give her any room for negotiation at all. After entering the room, he directly pointed a gun at her head, “Where is Song Xiaocao?!”

At that moment, she could sense that Jiang Mingxu definitely wasn’t a kind person. If he went crazy, he would not be any better than her.

In fact, he would only be worse than her.

Hence, she was defeated without a fight.

Although she was very discontent, she did not dare to bet on how far Jiang Mingxu would go.

The current Jiang Mingxu should be enough to make everyone present tremble with fear, except for Song Wei.

She finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Mingxu. Tears streamed down her face without restraint.

For some unknown reason, she had not cried when she was in despair just now. However, she was on the verge of tears when she saw Jiang Mingxu.

Jiang Mingxu walked in and picked her up by the waist. “Where did he touch you?”

Song Wei shook her head weakly, but she couldn’t say anything. She could only curl up in his arms.

When Zhou Huiqian saw this, she couldn’t help but curve her lips mockingly and clap her hands. “Young Master Jiang, you can go this far for an employee under you? How impressive!”

Xie Xingen defended Jiang Mingxu by retorting, “Xiaocao is someone our Madam values. It is only right for Director Jiang to save her.”

Zhou Huiqian smiled in an even more derisive manner. “Someone your wife values? Those who don’t know might even think that this ugly woman is your wife. She’s just a convenient dog. Is there a need to go that far?”

However, in the next second, her forehead was pointed at by the gun again. The hot muzzle of the gun burned her skin, and Jiang Mingxu’s index finger was already set on the trigger.

“Director Jiang, is this necessary? I can’t afford to play with your people, but can’t I even crack a joke?” Zhou Huiqian gritted her teeth.

“It is.” Jiang Mingxu’s voice was bone-chilling, and he managed to hold back from pulling the trigger.

Xie Xingen really wanted to take his hat off to these people who liked to stir up trouble but lacked the capability to do so. “Of course, it’s necessary! Director Jiang is very concerned about everything regarding our Madam. Of course, Director Jiang will also protect the people that Madam cares about with all his might.”

Zhou Huiqian’s face was a little pale, and her smile looked more strained. “Director Jiang and Madam Jiang are really loving. It’s enviable… However, since there isn’t any real, substantial consequence this time, why don’t we forget about it? I’ll come to apologize to you another day.”

Xie Xingen coughed lightly and told Jiang Mingxu in a low voice, “Director Jiang, it is true that Miss Song turned out fine. Don’t make things difficult for Miss Zhou anymore either. Let’s just demolish the Heavenly Banquet Festival today and forget about this matter.”

The first few points still sounded normal to Zhou Huiqian. When she heard the last sentence though, her eyes widened. “What did you say? You people dare to touch my Heavenly Banquet?! The Zhou family won’t let you off!”

Xie Xingen smiled lightly. “Miss Zhou, we have already talked to the board of directors from Juye on the phone just now. This piece of land has already been bought by the Jiang Corporation. It will be demolished today.”

“…”

“I’ll have to trouble you to get the guests attending the festival to leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, it’ll be unpleasant if they hurt someone by accident.”

“Who dares to make the decision to sell this land for me?!”

“Your father and your husband.” Xie Xingen still maintained that gentle and courteous smile, but the words that came out of his mouth were very lethal. “They had long hoped to make the Heavenly Banquet disappear, but couldn’t find an excuse to come clean with you. On the other hand, we gave them a very good reason.”

“…”

“Aside from that, don’t even think of getting your people to put up a stubborn fight. Right now, the entire perimeter of the Zhou estate is surrounded by reinforced rows of mercenaries. If you want to resist, it will become a hornet’s nest!”

“…!” Zhou Huiqian’s eyes widened into large saucers, but she was speechless for a long time!

Song Wei had no idea what happened after that either. She fainted not long after Jiang Mingxu picked her up in his arms.

She had been resisting the effects of the drug all along, causing her energy to be completely exhausted.

She had a very long nightmare. In her dream, she returned to that prison. Her cellmates grabbed her hair and pressed her into the sink. She felt an unprecedented kind of suffocation.

Later, Jiang Mingxu appeared, but he only looked at her coldly from the side.

She shouted for him, “Jiang Mingxu! Save me!”

However, he only replied with an indifferent expression, “Why should I save you?”

“…” Song Wei was stunned.

In an instant, she was pulled into a black, bottomless vortex.

A voice kept echoing crazily in her head, questioning her. Why did he marry you? You don’t possess the benefits he wants at all.

You know it, and you suspect it, too. Why are you afraid to face it now?

Because you are afraid of the answer. You are afraid that it is really only because you look like Fang Can that he treated you so well.

You’re already afraid of losing him, aren’t you?

Song Wei struggled to wake up from her nightmare and realized that the sky was still dark. It was still late at night.

She had already returned to the Jiang residence and was lying on the bed in her room. The familiar smell in the air made her entire body relax gradually.

However, the nightmare just now still cast a shadow over her heart.

She wanted to get up and go to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.

However, when she lifted the mosquito net open, she found Jiang Mingxu sitting in front of her desk, reading under the light of the table lamp.

His shadow was elongated by the light, and the warm yellow light covered him with a hazy halo. It weakened the iciness on his body and revealed gentleness instead.

Clearly, it was already so late, but he did not seem tired at all. He was even absorbed in his reading.

She simply couldn’t imagine him shooting that lecherous man through the shoulder a few hours ago with a gun.

Then, he even brought some people over to drive a bulldozer and raze the Zhou family’s fortress to the ground.

Song Wei stopped in her tracks. She didn’t know if she should disturb him. After thinking about it, she ended up tiptoeing towards the door by herself.

However, Jiang Mingxu had already sensed her and looked up from his book. “You are awake?”

Song Wei nodded. “Mhm… Were you afraid that I wouldn’t wake up?”

Jiang Mingxu put down the book and walked towards her. “You kept having nightmares.”

“…” Song Wei laughed awkwardly and tried to gloss over it. “Maybe it’s an effect of that drug. I dreamed of some bad stuff. My head is still hurting now.”

Song Wei pretended to be indifferent.

However, Jiang Mingxu suddenly reached out and placed the back of his hand on her forehead. “Your body temperature has returned to normal.”

Song Wei subconsciously dodged and reached out to touch her own forehead. “I was even running a fever? Miss Zhou’s drug is really powerful…”

Jiang Mingxu explained lightly without much expression, “The drug that Zhou Huiqian gave you has an aphrodisiac effect, so it will make your body heat up.”

“…!” Song Wei was stunned for a moment. “I didn’t do anything out of line on our way back, did I?”

“You did.” Jiang Mingxu’s answer was decisive. Then, he asked again, “Otherwise, why do you think I am sitting here?”

“…” Song Wei slapped herself on the head. She really couldn’t remember anything! Her cheeks gradually flushed on her face. “I… teased you again?”

“…” Jiang Mingxu raised his hand and grasped onto her chin. He looked into her eyes and corrected her. “Not teasing. Seducing.”

Song Wei took a step back in guilt. Her legs were already touching the edge of the bed. There was nowhere else she could retreat to. “I don’t remember anything at all. If I did something to you, it was completely the drug’s fault!”

Jiang Mingxu paused in his movements, and that rare gentleness in his eyes dissipated a little as well. “Are you afraid of me?”

Because of his gaze, Song Wei was forced to sit down on the bed, but she still planted a smile on her face. “Young Master Jiang, you’re thinking too much. You rushed to that place to save me. I can’t even offer you enough gratitude, so how could I be afraid of you? But the scenes I saw at the Heavenly Banquet today really make me want to puke. I’m not in the mood to think about anything else for the time being, so… can you keep a distance?”

Jiang Mingxu stared into Song Wei’s eyes as if he was trying to determine if she was telling the truth.

In the end, he only calmly retracted his gaze and said, “Be more careful when you do things in the future. You dare to provoke the Zhou family just with Song Xiaocao’s identity? Do you really want to die?”

“How would I know that Zhou Huiqian is so perverted…?” Song Wei stuck her tongue out a little guiltily.

“When you found out later, why didn’t you reveal your identity?”

Song Wei subconsciously blurted out, “Then, wouldn’t I have lost?”

Jiang Mingxu went silent for a moment.

After a while, he asked her, “Do you really want to beat me that badly?”
