Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Nuan didn’t like the occasion tonight that Xia Tian had specially arranged for her. Although it was mainly about the cooperation with BGY, she deliberately gave her an ambiguous space with Mr. Vinse, which made her unwilling to stay in this room.
Although she knew Xia Tian wouldn’t be so impulsive as to send this photo to Mo Jingshen and she just wanted to make her happy or divert her thoughts to other things, Ji Nuan didn’t like this Mr. Vinse and his secretary much.
After chatting with others for a while, Ji Nuan took up her bag and went out to get some air with the excuse of getting the wine list.
She always took a relationship very seriously. Even in her previous life, she wouldn’t hook up with a man who she didn’t like, let alone in this life.
She had just stepped out of the room and was about to go to the front desk of the club for a wine list when she heard a woman’s low cry in the corridor that should have been quiet. “Let go! I told you to let go!”
The voice sounded a bit familiar.
Ji Nuan stopped and looked behind her. She had felt that the voice sounded like Shi Niange’s, and it turned out that it was Shi Niange indeed, who was desperately trying to shake away the hands of two men in black beside her.
In her impression, Shi Niange was a graceful, beautiful woman. It was the first time Ji Nuan had heard her produce such a shrill voice.
It was very quiet in the corridor. There were already people from other rooms sticking out their heads and looking at them, but they just took a look nonchalantly and then closed the door.
Ji Nuan saw the two men lowered their heads and said a few words to Shi Niange with a cold look, who was trying to free her hand from these men’s. Her eyes looked hateful and frightened and also showed a hint of fear and helplessness.
Ji Nuan frowned. Shi Niange was not her friend, but she knew her. Even for the sake of Qin Siting, she should help her.
More importantly, she found Shi Niange’s face was red, abnormally red.
“Let’s go! I didn’t make your boss a deal!”
“Miss Shi, I advise you to be sensible. If you, such a young woman, want to take over Shida Group, you’ll have to see if our boss lets you. Your father’s company has long been in the hands of our boss, and your father wants you to marry our boss, too. Now that he’s called you back from America, you should know what he means. Although you’ve been hiding for months, you can’t hide from our boss forever. You might as well just cooperate.”
The two men didn’t drag her hard, nor did they mean to hurt her, but they did not let her go and kept holding her back.
Shi Niange looked more and more anxious, and her breathing grew louder. “It turns out that he had intended to trample us underfoot from the beginning. My father shouldn’t have given him most of his power. Boss? He just, by dint of the cooperative relationship with us, devoured my father’s company and now threatened me with what belonged to me? What makes him think he can do this to me? Who gave him the courage? Just because he is rich, he can defy laws?”
“Miss Shi, you’d better be sensible and go in to have a talk with our boss!”
“Just go away!” Shi Niange said angrily, “Let go! Let go of me! Or else I’m going to call the police...”
“Miss Shi...”
“Go away!”
“Miss Shi, you’d better go in with us. If our boss gets angry, you won’t get any good results.”
“Let go! Don’t touch me!”
Ji Nuan went over and said coldly, “Excuse me, sirs, I don’t know what was going on here. I heard someone said she was going to call the police, so I called the police. I don’t know if it will cause you any trouble, but the police station is not far from here, and the police are on their way.”
She sounded as if she had accidentally called the police, but her voice was cold with a clear warning.
The two men had to let go of Shi Niange’s hands, but gave Ji Nuan a distinctly unpleasant look, blaming her for the trouble.
Ji Nuan walked over and shielded Shi Niange behind her. She noticed Shi Niange’s face was abnormally red. She must have been drugged by someone, tried to run away but had been stopped by these two men.
“Miss Shi.” At this time, one of the two men stared threateningly at Shi Niange and said implicitly, “I advise you to go with us. I’m afraid that nothing good can happen to you in your current situation. After all, our boss is an old acquaintance of yours, but if you meet a stranger...”
Shi Niange’s hand, now trembling, rose and caught Ji Nuan’s wrist, and Ji Nuan immediately felt the scalding heat against her wrist. Sure enough, as she guessed, Shi Niange had been drugged.
“No... I’ll stay here with her until the police come...” Shi Niange’s voice trembled, but her tone was determined.
Hearing that she was threatening them with the police, the two men hesitated and gave her a warning look. “Miss Shi, you’d better give it a second thought. If you leave like this today, our boss will be unhappy. Then we can’t guarantee what will happen to Shida Group!”
Feeling Shi Niange’s hand froze, Ji Nuan hurriedly held Shi Niange’s hand, lest she would be coerced into making any irrational choice when she was not sober.
The two men stared at them for a while. Seeing that Ji Nuan insisted on meddling in this affair, they could only turn to walk away crossly.
It wasn’t until the two men had walked away and entered one of the rooms that she hurriedly helped Shi Niange into the bathroom not far away. “Miss Shi, are you okay?”
Shi Niange forced a smile. “I’m okay.”
“Are you feeling sick? Or...” Ji Nuan raised her hand and tested the temperature of her face. “Did you drink something unclean?”
Shi Niange was a bit embarrassed. She hesitated before replying, “I did drink something that was drugged. I don’t know what the drug is. I’m not feeling very well. Miss Ji, can you take me back to the hotel? I’m afraid I can’t go by myself.”
“Okay, no problem.” There were many hotels near the club. If she said so, she probably lived around here.
Ji Nuan was about to help her out when Shi Niange leaned upon her uncomfortably. Feeling her body burn, Ji Nuan hurried to help her to go out while wondering whether she should call Qin Siting.
