When he saw her being dead drunk, Gu Jinchen’s heart suddenly blazed in fury. He tried to calm himself down before helping her up and prepared to leave.

He Jiashan’s friends did not know Gu Jinchen’s identity, and when they saw him taking away Shen Youran, they wanted to stop him.

He Jiashan raised his hand and they sat down again.

Gu Jinchen looked at He Jiashan with a cold gaze. “He Jiashan, I won’t care if you play with other women, but if you dare to touch her, I will make you regret it for life.”

He Jiashan placed one hand in his pocket and lazily played with his keychain. “I really want to know how you are going to make me regret it for life.”

Gu Jinchen helped Shen Youran and walked to the entrance. When he heard his words, his footsteps stopped and his tone turned cold.

“Mayor He seems to have a successful career as an official.” With that, he left with Shen Youran.

That gentle sentence seemed to be reminding He Jiashan of something and seemed to be filled with a threatening warning.

He Jiashan’s expression changed instantly and he angrily kicked the table. The wine bottle and wine glasses shattered on the ground, and the floor became littered with glass shards all over.

The people in the private lounge stared at each other.

Gu Jinchen’s car was parked outside the club. He placed Shen Youran in the car and helped her put on the safety belt before driving the car off.

Qiu Shaoze went to the washroom. On his way back to his private lounge, he passed by private lounge 2022. There was a small opening of the door and he looked inside.

Once he did not see Shen Youran, he became frantic and immediately called her.

The first time, no one answered. For the second time, her phone was turned off.

He panicked, but seeing that He Jiashan was still in the private lounge, he relaxed a little.

Maybe she left when she did not see him.

In another private lounge, Xiao Cheng pushed the door open and whispered into Ji Jinchuan’s ear. “She was taken away by President Gu.”

Ji Jinchuan brushed against the mahjong tile he’d touched earlier and said a light “hmm” before placing the three bamboo tiles into his set of tiles and flipping it for the others to see.

He won!

…

Gu Jinchen wanted to bring Shen Youran back to the Shen residence, but knowing that she was drunk, which would make Old Master Shen and Shen Yaoting unhappy if she went home, he brought her to a villa that he owned.

He had just pushed open the bedroom door when Shen Youran rushed to the washroom before kneeling in front of the toilet bowl and vomiting until her digestive juices ran out.

Gu Jinchen sprinted to the washroom and stood behind her. As he saw her pitiful state, the fury in his heart became larger.

He turned on the water tap and pulled her arm toward it. He pressed her head into the basin as cold water flowed down over the top of her head.

Both of her hands supported herself on the sides of the basin as she tried to struggle, but Gu Jinchen kept his grip on her head.

There was a great disparity between their strengths and she could not move.

In a frenzy, she used her high heels and stepped on his feet, but he only gently scoffed and had no intention to let go.

The water in the basin increased and submerged half of her head. Water entered her eyes and nose, and a sense of panic from drowning gushed within her like a fast-growing vine, tightly seizing her heart.

Gu Jinchen was really angry. If not, why would he want to drown her?

As she felt her breathing become difficult, she panicked. It was the type of fear and franticness felt during suffocation.

As she was about to give up, Gu Jinchen pulled her up and harshly gripped her chin to get her to look at herself in the mirror. His cold fury showed his anger.

“Look at what you have now become!”

His grip was very strong, and it made her chin hurt as though her bone was going to break under his grip.
