Shangguan Ning wiped her tears, instantly. She replied, “You are not a man of your word. I will not drink this.”

He had seen him drop a pill into this cocktail. She was smart enough to not drink it.

“I will keep my word this time. The ring will be yours, as long as you drink this.”

Jing Yiran was leaning lazily, against the sofa. Shangguan Ning moved away from him, trying to keep as much distance between them as possible.

He was certain that Shangguan Ning would definitely drink this cocktail.

By now, he had been able to gauge Shangguan Ning’s personality.

Jing Yiran was the kind of man who would get obsessed with a woman, if she wasn’t interested in him. He would try all his tactics to lure her.

He would threaten her, seduce her, use coercion – nothing was off the table, as long as she eventually gave in to him.

He had met all kinds of women, in his life. He knew exactly what made each of them tick.

Women like Shangguan Ning, were simple-minded and gullible. It didn’t take much of his effort, to make them come around.

“Go on, drink this, and if you do, I will also tell you a huge secret about your mother! Don’t you want to know what it is?”

Shangguan Ning understood that Jing Yiran might know more about her mother, than she did. Although she had no idea how he got all this information, or how authentic the information was, she knew she needed to try and worm it out of him, no matter what.

She glanced at the cocktail, as if making up her mind. She picked up the glass and drank its contents.

The spicy drink instantly stimulated her taste buds. She hadn’t eaten a morsel, for more than a day. Her stomach rumbled as she drank this heady concoction.

Soon the alcohol hit her. Or was it the pill? She had no idea. She was uncomfortable and dizzy.

Shangguan Ning was already unwell and having this drink was like adding fuel to the fire. Her body temperature rose and she felt like the floor had given in, from beneath her feet.

Her vision was getting blurry and she tried hard to keep awake.

She stretched across, towards Jing Yiran and said with great difficulty, “Give me the ring, now!”

Jing Yiran didn’t back away this time. He slipped the old, worn out ring onto her slender finger and took her in his arms once again. Shangguan Ninghad no strength to protest any more. The last thing she remembered was looking at the ring to reaffirm that it was indeed her mother’s ring. After that she fell into a deep sleep.

Jing Yiran thought that she was just pretending. He sneered at her. When he got no reaction out of her, he went closer to her and realised that her breathing was erratic. He assumed that the pill in the cocktail, had caused this reaction.

He felt her forehead. It was extremely hot. She had high fever.

Jing Yiran paused for a moment to reassess his plan for the sake of Shangguan Ning, but his need to beat Jing Yichen got the better of him. Jing Yichen had humiliated him on more than one occasion and this was the time to take revenge. Vengeance filled his heart.

Before he could decide on what to do next, he could hear commotion from near the bar. Jing Yichen had broken into the bar. People shouted and tried to leave the place but all exits were sealed shut. The guests in the bar were scared for their lives. Only a few minutes ago, they were all dancing away in high spirits and now they had no idea what they were in for.

The entire bar was in utter chaos. Guests demanded to meet with the manager.

Jing Yiran tried to keep a low profile and intended to hide in the crowd, so that Jing Yichen wouldn’t be able to spot him or Shangguan Ning.

He carried Shangguan Ning to an insulated room and tossed her onto a long sofa.

The room was more like a panic room. Sound proof and disconnected from the chaos of the bar. It was so quiet that Jing Yichen could hear the sound of his own breathing.

He started to unbutton Shangguan Ning’s shirt and kissed her lips.

Suddenly he realized that something was wrong.

Shangguan Ning wasn’t breathing!

Jing Yiran tried to feel her pulse, nervously.

Her pulse was extremely weak.

His mind went blank. Her heartbeat was slow. Shangguan Ning showed no movement of any sort.

Jing Yiran broke into a cold sweat. He felt suffocated. As if an invisible hand were choking him.

Without a second thought, he carried Shangguan Ning towards the nearest exit, oblivious to the fact that all exits were sealed shut.

He had just stepped out of the room when someone punched him on his face. Blood gushed out of his nose, in an instant. It was Jing Yichen. Jing Yichen snatched Shangguan Ning from Jing Yiran’s grasp and carried her to safety.

Jing Yichen’s face turned pale seeing Shangguan Ning’s condition.

His voice was choked with emotion, “Ning, wake up!”

Mu Qing instantly checked for Shangguan Ning’s pulse. He looked worried. He said, “Master Jing, she is in shock. Her heartbeat is extremely slow. We should get her to the hospital immediately. It is impossible to revive her, here.”

Jing Yichen had no time to even look at Jing Yiran, lying on the floor. He carried Shangguan Ning outside.

Jing Yichen’s private helicopter was already outside, ready to take off. Five minutes later, Shangguan Ning was wheeled into the emergency room.

Mu Qing quickly put on his mask and gloves. He summoned all the doctors in the hospital, for their opinion.

Jing Yichen didn’t enter the emergency room this time.

He felt as if his heart was being ripped out of his body. He couldn’t bear to look at her. He didn’t dare to look at the readings on the various machines, plugged into her body.

He waited outside for what seemed like an eon.

Jing Yiran also reached the hospital within the hour. Standing at the end of the corridor of the emergency room, he waited patiently, for the operation to be over.

If something were to happen to Shangguan Ning, then Jing Yichen would be devastated. Wasn’t that what Jing Yiran wanted to see?

Why wasn’t he happy then?

Why was his heart so restless?

Jing Yichen, who was sitting on a couch outside the emergency room, spotted Jing Yiran. Jing Yichen wanted to kill this spiteful man, but he was too heartbroken to fight. His heart and mind were with Shangguan Ning.

Jing Yichen made a promise to himself, “Jing Yiran, if anything happens to my Ning, you won’t live another day!”

After what seemed like ages, Jing Yichen heard the door of the emergency room, open.

Jing Yichen stood up, hoping to hear some good news, but when he saw Mu Qing’s expressions, his heart sank.

“Master Jing, I suggest you use your helicopter to get my grandpa to the hospital right away!”
