"Don't worry, Dad has always been a cautious man. He won't let things go to their worst ends." Gao Yuxuan consoled her with a warm voice, but his gentleness towards Zhan Yan, had obviously angered Wei Shanshan who was at his side.
She rushed over and grabbed Zhan Yan then gave him a fierce slap, "Zhan Yan, you're shameless! You've harmed dad, and now you're still thinking of seducing someone else's husband. You're the killer, why didn't the police arrest you?!"
Zhan Yan went limp on the ground and curled into a ball in pain. Wei Shanshan used all her might to pull her hair, and knocked her head against the hard wall, then lost her mind as she screamed, "Wei Zhanyan, go and die! If you die, the people from Ji Family will let dad go!"
's words seemed to have awakened Zhan Yan from a dream. Ji Family, Ji Weiyang … yes, Ji Weiyang would definitely be able to help father.
She struggled to get up from the ground with great difficulty and stumbled towards the exit.
"Zhan Yan, where are you going?" Gao Yuxuan supported her worriedly.
Zhan Yan did her best to push him away, and couldn't help but mutter uncontrollably, "Weiyang, I'm going to look for Ji Weiyang, I want to tell him everything." She could bear everything for Lu Manyun because that person gave her life. However, she could not lose her father and the entire Wei Family because of this.
Zhan Yan was starting to regret her actions and waver a little. Perhaps, she had been wrong from the very beginning, everything was too simple for her.
Yu Mei told her that Ji Weiyang was inspecting the factories in the suburbs. Zhan Yan drove for another two hours to the factories in the suburbs. Ji Weiyang's phone could not be reached, so she waited outside the factory until the sky gradually darkened.
Zhan Yan naturally did not know, that Ji Weiyang was not in the factory, but when he came, he received a call from Lu Manyun. Angel was sick, and at the moment, he was accompanying Zhan Yan in the high-levelled ward of the Central District Hospital. All of the calls Zhan Yan made were all hung up by Lu Anqi.
In the central hospital's dry ward.
Angel leaned on the headboard, holding Ji Weiyang's phone. She was deleting Zhan Yan's contact records one by one. Then, he put the phone back into its original position.
The pink cell phone under her pillow rang. It was a private detective. Ever since Zhan Yan was released from prison, she had been making her private investigators pay attention to her whereabouts.
"What?" She's still waiting for Vayon outside the factory? " The corner of Lu Anqi's mouth hooked into a cold smile, containing a trace of malice in her tone. "It's already so late, and she's still in such a desolate place like the suburbs. Find a few people for me, and properly greet her …"
She spoke a few words to the other side of the phone, just as she hung up, Lu Manyun pushed open the door and entered, "Angel, why isn't Wei Yang back yet when he went to buy fruits?"
"I want pomegranate. He should be driving to the import supermarket." Angel replied absent-mindedly.
Lu Manyun laughed gently, "You are about to be spoiled by Weiyang."
"It's not good to have someone pamper your daughter." Angie smiled and winked at her.
Not long after, Ji Weiyang walked in while carrying a bag of fruits. Other than the pomegranate, there were also American fruits and melons, Angel's favorite fruits.
"Viyan, why did you just come back? I've been waiting for a long time." Angel raised her arms in a spoiled manner and wrapped them around Ji Weiyang's waist. He smiled warmly and pushed her out of his embrace without leaving a trace.
"Take the medicine first, then I'll peel the pomegranate for you to eat."
"Yes." Angie obediently took the pills and water.
Ji Weiyang handed over half of the pomegranate that he broke to her. The red pomegranate juice was sour and sweet. "Viyan, I want more."
Ji Weiyang smiled and handed the other half of the hand over to her. It was at this moment that the phone on the bedside table beeped. It was a text message notification. Ji Weiyang picked up his phone to check. His eyes changed slightly as he picked up his jacket and ran out.
"Viyan, where are you going in such a hurry?" Lu Manyun asked in confusion, and the only thing that answered her was a door slamming.
On the sickbed, Lu Anqi's face suddenly changed. She threw the pomegranate in her hand towards the direction he left in and roared out, "Ji Weiyang, I hate you!"
At this time, at the entrance of a factory located in the suburbs, Zhan Yan sat alone on the stairs. Because of the cold outside the city, she shivered in fear.
The time to get off work had long passed, and the factory was empty. She wasn't sure if Ji Weiyang was inside, but she had sent him a message and he would definitely come find her after seeing her, so she had to keep waiting. She wanted to tell him that she wasn't the one who pushed Luo Meihui down the stairs, she was innocent. As long as she told the truth, everything could go back to where it was before, and they could go on.
Thinking to this point, Zhan Yan felt as if she possessed both warmth and power. She lowered her head and waited quietly, at first, she did not notice that a few men were walking towards her.
"Oh, little sister, why are you sitting here so late? How about having some fun with the guys? " The man in the lead reached out to grab Zhan Yan's arm with his multicolored hair.
"Go away!" Zhan Yan's eyebrows were deeply locked together, and she had instead held onto the man's arm. With a tug, a cracking sound could be heard, and the man's wrist bone had been dislocated by her.
Ah!" In the empty countryside, the man's bloodcurdling screams were especially ear-piercing. The others, seeing this, all rushed towards Zhan Yan.
After all, Zhan Yan was a weak and small girl, and was quickly pressed to the ground by a few men. Zhan Yan was extremely afraid. She struggled with all her might, and tears rolled down her ice-cold face.
"Let me go, you hooligans …" Zhan Yan's hands tightly covered her chest, attempting to block out the spring light that was leaking out. Those men's contact with her made her feel waves of disgust.
It was when Tian Tian didn't respond and couldn't even shout properly, a man's angry roar sounded out from not too far away, "Let go of her, you bunch of beasts."
Gao Yuxuan ran up, and used all his strength to pull away the man who was on top of Zhan Yan, and started fighting with him. After all, he was too weak to fight, so he was quickly knocked to the ground with her head in her hands.
"Stop! Stop! " Zhan Yan's clothes were in a mess, she struggled to get up and shouted, "I've already called the police, the police will be here soon, none of you will be able to escape."
Her words finally worked, and the men looked at each other and ran off in all directions.
Zhan Yan helped Gao Yuxuan up from the ground. Luckily, he was only injured superficial. Brother Yuxuan, why have you come? "
Gao Yuxuan wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth, then quickly took off his jacket and wrapped it around her, "I was worried about you, so I followed along." Fortunately, he had made it in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been dire.
"Zhan Yan, do you have a sense of crisis? Do you know how dangerous it is to be alone in the suburbs late at night with a girl? " Gao Yuxuan's tone was a little harsh, but Zhan Yan understood that he only cared for her.
Scene after scene of being pressed down by the men kept flashing through her mind. Although they didn't inflict any substantial harm on her, the fear of despair was deeply engraved in her heart like a knife.
"Brother Yuxuan …" Zhan Yan buried her face into his chest and cried in grievance.
The originally dark night was suddenly lit up by two dazzling beams of light. Zhan Yan raised her head hesitantly, the strong light pricking her eyes hurt, she subconsciously covered it with her hands.
The car door was pushed open, and the man's black pants stepped out of the car first. He was dressed in a black hand-made suit, and in the darkness of the night, he looked like a Satan from hell. His body emanated a chilling aura, and it was even colder than the night outside the city. He did not approach the car. Instead, he leaned lazily against the car. The light from his lighter flickered as he lit up a cigarette and exhaled smoke in an indifferent manner.
"Vuyo?" Zhan Yan's lips, which had turned purple from the cold, trembled. He stood there like a tall and majestic mountain, and there was not a single moment where she was as anxious as at this moment to lean on his shoulder.
His gaze, however, was cold to the extreme as it swept across the clothes belonging to another man on her body. The clothes beneath the clothes were messy, and the ample skin on her chest could be faintly seen.
"Speak, why are you looking for me?" The corner of Ji Weiyang's mouth curved in a ridiculing smile. She had sent a message to him, it couldn't be that she was letting him catch the traitor, right?
"Weiyang, I …"
"If it's about your father, there's no need. Don't overestimate me, I don't have that sky-high ability to get him out. " Ji Weiyang exhaled lightly, his handsome face becoming even more charming under the mist.
Zhan Yan bit her lips and stood in place stiffly, her body trembling uncontrollably. Ji Weiyang had splashed a bucket of cold water on her head, extinguishing her last hope.
"Zhan Yan, don't beg him. None of the people in Ji Family have good things." Gao Yuxuan really could not watch any longer, as he went forward and protected Zhan Yan in his arms.
Ji Weiyang laughed coldly, his gaze was shockingly deep, "Gao Yuxuan, who do you think you are? Don't forget, you're holding someone else's wife in your arms. "
His words caused Zhan Yan's heart to suddenly hurt, and he suddenly understood something. She struggled out of Gao Yuxuan's embrace and ran towards Ji Weiyang.
