Chapter 136 - He Will Not Let The Kitten Escape

'Make her realize that she needs you.'   

Fang Zhihan's words flashed in his mind and He Jian, for a moment, was in a daze.

He clenched the phone in his hand suddenly and stepped back inside the room.

The door of the meeting room closed and He Jian sat back on the chair he was sitting on.

For the next few moments, he stared at nothing in particular as he continued to sit there.

Then he called Chu Feng inside the meeting room. 

"The police had arrested her."

He told Chu Feng who seemed to be shocked by his boss's words. The next moment, the shocked assistant saw his boss cold blue eyes focused on himself as he said

"Make sure that no one can even lay a single finger of theirs on her. Chu Feng...If even a single hair of her gets scratched …you will regret that you ever came to this world."

Chu Feng gulped in fear and said immediately

"Yes Boss."

"Also find out just who is behind everything."

He Jian's eyes narrowed as he said these words emitting more coldness.

"Yes Boss"

And then Chu Feng left the room.

A few minutes later, Chu Feng entered the meeting room again.

"Boss, it was Shen family who had complained against Miss Mo saying that Miss Mo took advantage of Miss Shen's naivety and made her a drug addict so that she can receive a large sum of money in exchange from Miss Shen." 

said Chu Feng as he stood in front of his boss.

He Jian's finger was continuously tapping the table made of glass.

His eyes flickered with something as he stared at the large window made from glass. The outside sky could be seen very clearly from the place he was sitting on.     

He moved his eyes away and looked at his assistant as he said

"She should not leave from there with anyone else help."

Chu Feng, for a moment, stopped breathing.

The young assistant lowered his head and let out a small 'Yes Boss'

After that, He Jian ordered his assistant to leave.

While leaving the room, Chu Feng smiled bitterly. Inside his heart, he had the same complex feelings of happiness and sympathy for Mo Roulan. 

He knew what his boss was doing.

This time his boss has decided to break every wall with which Miss Mo Roulan is trying to protect herself.

His boss would pretend as if he never forced Miss Mo but in the end, Miss Mo would be left helpless and she would be able to do nothing without his boss. 

After Chu Feng left, He Jian took out his phone from his pocket and called someone.

The call went through and a surprised voice came from the other side.

"Jian…is everything alright?"

For a moment, He Jian was silent before he said

"Weisheng, your Shen family has filed a complaint against my girl. The police have arrested her claiming that she made your younger sister a drug addict."

He Jian's words were direct and precisely to the point as he continued

"Weisheng, your Shen family had crossed their line this time."

There was a moment of silence from the other side and then He Jian heard Shen Weisheng's voice

"What family? I don't have any family except my younger sister…Shen Youlin."

On the other side of the phone, He Jian nodded his head with satisfaction when he heard Shen Weisheng's words.

"It's good if it's like that. Even if it's not like that…I have just called to inform you that I will not leave anyone who will try to harm Lanlan."

Shen Weisheng's previous attitude didn't change even after these words. Instead, he said

"Tell me if you need any help."

"Sure."

With that, He Jian ended the call.

Alone in the meeting room, He Jian stared at the phone in his hands for a few moments and then he stood up from his chair.

He walked towards the large window from where he could see the view outside.

His phone was still in his hands as he stared at the outside city's road with a new shine in his eyes.

He didn't know if what he was doing was right. He knew that somewhere it was wrong or perhaps he was wronging Mo Roulan.

But he also doesn't want Mo Roulan to face anything like this again.

She asked him to leave her alone but how many times it has been since she has got into trouble and he had helped her without even her notice.

This time, he wants her to notice him.

This time he wants her to think over some things.

Sometimes everything was not about your self-respect.

Sometimes one should not try to pretend that he is strong in every moment of his life. He wants Mo Roulan to know the same.

He wants her to know that she can rely on him. Even if he had to instill it in her mind forcefully …he would do it.

At least she would not be alone in the future when she would face some other trouble.

That time, he would have the right to stand by her side because she would give him that right by herself. 

He Jian never had this strange urge to protect someone like this. Mo Roulan was the first for him and that's why she was special.

He had found his own reason behind this over-protectiveness.

Not one, but many.

Perhaps it was her selfless attitude that he had seen five years ago….when she had entered the shabby room he was tied inside…when she had borne the pain of the rod that was meant to hit him.

Or perhaps it was her eyes …those clean black-brown and expressive eyes.

In his world of selfishness, scheming, cruelty, ruthlessness where everyone tries to hide their emotions from each other…Mo Roulan's expressiveness and selflessness ...these few qualities were very precious to him.

That's why he wanted to protect it, cherish it, and let her grow carefree and naturally.

She doesn't need to do anything except living freely under his shelter.
