Hua Ying's face turned pale, realizing the danger.
Was it possible that she was only implicated by this man?
Furthermore, this man had been diligently applying liniment for her injuries today.
Indeed, after applying it, her foot healed remarkably fast.
She examined the medicine closely. Besides the liquid, there was nothing on the bottle; it was a product with no manufacturer, no date of manufacture, and no quality certificate, yet its effect was extraordinary.
Her grandfather was ill, and she had returned this time hoping to find the renowned medical expert, Vicky.
But upon her return, she didn't know where to start looking.
She had heard that Vicky had once appeared in Jinshi.
Lost in thought, Hua Ying wasn't paying attention as she descended the stairs.
She missed a step, lost her balance, and tumbled downwards.
"Ah..." Just as she braced for a nasty fall...
Lu Jinyan, with quick reflexes, caught her in his arms.
"Yingying, are you alright?"
Lu Jinyan was very nervous about the girl he had fallen for at first sight.
Hua Ying also realized her mistake. While fleeing, why was she thinking about so many things?
Her face was ashen. Meeting the man's concerned gaze, she shook her head slightly, her cheeks inexplicably flushing. This man was so gentle.
"I'm fine," she said softly.
The sound of hurried footsteps grew closer. Lu Jinyan, supporting Hua Ying, descended quickly.
Upon reaching the first floor, they encountered Xiao Fan and the bodyguards he had brought.
Xiao Fan rushed over and looked at Lu Jinyan. "Third Master, you should leave first."
"Ah, Assistant Xiao, it's you! That's great. It's never too late for a timely arrival. I'll leave the people behind you to you. You must come back alive, otherwise, I'll truly be sorry," Hua Ying said.
Xiao Fan: "..."
He didn't expect to be so indebted to her!
The bodyguards behind Xiao Fan moved swiftly, instantly blocking the path of those pursuing them.
The first-floor lobby immediately turned into a battlefield.
The crowds passing by, seeing the chaotic fight, were terrified and fled in all directions.
Lu Jinyan, with Hua Ying, got into the car and sped away from the scene.
Ye Anran witnessed the entire event from the surveillance room and, in her rage, smashed the monitors.
"Arghhh..." she roared frantically.
The man in the black robe lying on the sofa said nothing as he watched the furious Ye Anran.
After all, even she herself could not accept this failure.
Recalling the scene at the time, he too was enraged and wanted to kill.
He had thought Jiang Nuan would submit to him after being drugged.
"Jiang Nuan, tonight, you won't escape me again."
Jiang Nuan sneered, "You're very confident!"
"Yes! I've never been this confident before. You are truly beautiful. Mu Jinchen must be very happy holding you every day!"
Jiang Nuan looked at him coldly, "You are Mu Yichen!"
Her almost certain tone sent his heart into turmoil.
That woman's eyes were poison!
To avoid revealing himself, he decided to end it quickly.
As he reached out to pull Jiang Nuan, she suddenly struck at him.
The woman, who appeared slender and not particularly strong, fought with a ferocity that made one ignore her frailty.
The strength that erupted from her slender body commanded awe.
However, Jiang Nuan had been drugged, and the moment the effects took hold, she collapsed to the ground.
He thought his chance had come and raised a stool, intending to knock Jiang Nuan unconscious.
At that very moment, a woman suddenly burst forth, kicking him to the ground, and Jiang Nuan delivered a finishing blow, knocking him out.
This sudden turn of events, a slap in his face, filled him with anger and humiliation!
Jiang Nuan was preoccupied with finding Mu Jinchen, which prevented him from being exposed.
"Jiang Nuan, you bitch! Mu Jinchen, you scoundrel! Why are you so difficult to deal with?" Ye Anran couldn't accept the outcome, her expression becoming frenzied and terrifying. Her entire body trembled with rage.
She only wanted revenge.
Why was it so difficult!
"It's alright, there will be other opportunities," the man slowly got up from the sofa.
"Where is Chu Yunying? She was also drugged. Bring her to me." He was feeling very uncomfortable now.
Ye Anran suddenly turned, looked at him, and gave a sinister smile. "She's in the private room on the eighth floor. Remember to take photos and threaten her. Then she won't be able to threaten me anymore."
The man slowly stood up. "Alright! I'll send you the photos after I take them."
The man left coldly.
Mu Jinchen took Jiang Nuan directly back to his newly purchased house.
They didn't speak a word to each other on the way. As soon as they entered, Mu Jinchen scooped Jiang Nuan up and placed her on the soft, large bed.
He leaned over her, and Jiang Nuan, too weak to resist, didn't even want to open her eyes.
Mu Jinchen looked at her enduring expression, his own face darkening considerably. Didn't she say she would trust him?
She had been willing to trust him and play along with him at the hospital, yet now, when they went together, she didn't trust him.
Mu Jinchen had never lost his temper with Jiang Nuan.
This time, not being trusted by her also made him very sad, feeling wronged and upset.
"Jiang Nuan, open your eyes and look at me." His deep voice carried an irrefutable command.
Jiang Nuan slowly opened her eyes and met his angry, profound gaze. Enduring the discomfort within her body, she retorted angrily, "Mu Jinchen, you talk too much! Just do it."
Mu Jinchen: "..."
He just wanted her to see that he loved her!
He said domineeringly, "No closing your eyes!"
Jiang Nuan was speechless!
She was already lying down; what else was she supposed to do?!

He smirked and said domineeringly, "No closing your eyes!"
Jiang Nuan was speechless!
She was already lying down; what else was she supposed to do?!
Jiang Nuan glared at him.
Only then did Mu Jinchen's mood improve considerably. He lowered his head and sealed her lips.
His possessive aura, his forceful kiss, was like a wild beast marking its territory.
His advances became increasingly fierce, as if he wouldn't stop until they became one.
Jiang Nuan could barely take it and struggled for a while before Mu Jinchen's movements slowed.
Late at night!
Moonlight spilled down. Jiang Nuan was so exhausted she didn't even want to move a finger.
Someone tell her, why was the drug's effect still so potent after taking the antidote?
Was it because of the drug's potency or because Mu Jinchen was too captivating?
Mu Jinchen still had some energy. He turned sideways, looking at his weakened wife, his heart aching. His voice was hoarse and deep, "Are you still angry?"
