After the phone call, all emotions vanished from Jin Fengchen's face.Katherine couldn't help but envy Jiang Sese for having won the heart of such a man."Someone like me probably should say goodbye to such sweet love all together."Turning around, Jin Fengchen asked suspiciously, "Did you just say that your senior is a member of the World Elite Alliance?"Katherine was baffled by that question, because she didn't understand why Jin Fengchen would be so interested in the organization."Sorry? Well, yes. The research findings are very important to Country E, and many parties have their eyes on it. My research institute had no choice but to let my senior return to his organization together with the information."Hearing that, Jin Fengchen was lost in his thoughts and felt somewhat shocked.It had been a while since he last heard the name of that organization mentioned.He used to be a member as well, only that he had hidden his identity very well from the outsiders.Even Jiang S
Jin Fengchen gestured for her to be silent with his hand and said, "I'm telling the baby not to give you trouble. Otherwise, I'll teach it a lesson once it's here."Jiang Sese burst into laughter when she saw the earnest look on his face.They were still enjoying their time alone when Jin Fengchen's phone began to ring.All warmth was gone from his face as soon as he saw the number."Sese, I need to take care of something. Take a nap."He quickly left the room after kissing her on the forehead.Still sitting on the bed, Jiang Sese still felt perplexed and wondered how a phone call could upset him so much."Has something happened?"She hastily walked over to the window and was just in time to see Jin Fengchen drive off.She couldn't help but feel worried.But she knew that she couldn't give him any actual help; all she could do was pray for his safety.Jin Fengchen called the number back as he drove."What now? Haven't I told you not to call me?"Katherine's voice came from
Jiang Sese was immediately wide away and spun around to look at him."When? For how long?"She couldn't bring herself to part with him, and even her eyes had dimmed when she heard the news.Jin Fengchen put away the hair dryer and started rubbing her hair gently with a towel. His voice was husky when he said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, but I'm not sure when I'll be back. It may take me a while."He didn't tell her about Katherine. The job this time would be very dangerous, and he didn't want her to worry.Hearing that, Jiang Sese frowned. She felt uneasy when she saw the look on Jin Fengchen's face."Why the rush? Is there something wrong with the business?"Judging by his tone and the expression on his face, she seemed to sense trouble.It made her on edge."It's nothing like that. I'm only going on an ordinary business trip. Are you questioning my ability now? Do you think I can't even close a deal?"Picking up her hand, he caressed her pinky, trying to distract her.Jiang Ses
After Jiang Nuannuan listened to Zifeng's plan, her frown disappeared and she decided to go and see Jiang Zhen first thing in the morning.In the evening, North City finally rained a bit after a day shrouded with clouds.The sound of the rain grew stronger because it started to pour. The raindrops were heavy and dense. As they struck the ground, a crisp pitter-patter sound could be heard.The air was infused with the smell of the earth, which was slightly irritating.It rained all night and only stopped when the sun started to rise.The sky was slit open by a red light, and the stale air became freshened up a bit.Jiang Zhen got up early in the morning. When he went downstairs, he saw the helper who came to the house to clean, who greeted him. "Good morning, sir."Jiang Zhen nodded in response, which was a signal for the helper to continue working.Jiang Zhen put on a coat and went outside at a slow pace.He now lived in a small mansion in the suburb.Far away from the hustle
Jiang Zhen felt bad listening to his daughter's words.He patted Jiang Nuannuan's head and said brokenheartedly, "Of course. I'll go and prepare a proper meal for you. You just wait here.""OK."Jiang Nuannuan gave him a sweet smile.After Jiang Zhen turned around and entered the kitchen, that smile became distorted and looked creepy.She took out a small bottle of something from her pocket.Jiang Nuannuan stood up, with that thing she got from Zifeng squeezed tightly in her palm.She held it tightly in her fist."Dad, is there anything to drink? If not, I'll go out and buy something."She craned her neck to shout in the direction of the kitchen.Jiang Zhen was busy washing vegetables in the kitchen. He shouted in response after hearing her question, "There should be something. Check in the fridge."Jiang Nuannuan was already standing by the fridge before he had finished his sentence.She curled her lips, opened the door of the fridge, and took out a bottle of beverage.Sh
Jiang Sese realized what it was, and she tried to hold her breath, but it was already too late.She breathed in some of it.Behind her, Jiang Nuannuan was holding her with one hand and trying her best to cover her mouth with the cloth with the other.The handkerchief was soaked with the remnants of the drug she had used on Jiang Zhen.The movements of Jiang Sese's struggle were getting weaker.She tried to stay awake, but her consciousness started to become blurry and she was powerless.Her fear became stronger when she closed her eyes.Jin Fengchen's face appeared in her mind. She opened her mouth, wanting to utter a sound, but it was all in vain.At last, her arms had no strength at all, and the people who had held her let go of her, and then she fell to the ground.Zifeng walked in at the same time.After 10 minutes, the guards carried Jiang Sese out with Jiang Nuannuan following them.The group walked toward the car parked outside.Zifeng rushed to the door, stumbling,
"It looks like Jiang Nuannuan had suffered a bit."What hasn't changed is her personality."Jiang Sese thought to herself while also thinking of how to deal with her.She knew that she couldn't provoke her, not before Jin Fengchen got here.Jiang Nuannuan sneered at her, seeing that she was in distress. "Jiang Sese, who would have thought that you'd end up like this?"Jiang Sese asked a question instead of answering her, "When did you come back? I thought you went abroad.""If the one who masterminded the kidnapping was Jiang Nuannuan, then everything would all add up."If she went to Jiang Zhen's place, he would be defenseless, which would make it very easy for her to get access to his phone."And I just walked into the trap without knowing anything."Jiang Nuannuan hasn't changed at all. She is still as selfish as before."She'd use her own father to get whatever she wants.""I came back for you, my sister," Jiang Nuannuan said with sarcasm.Jiang Sese said with caution a
"Everyone says that Jin Fengchen is very formidable, but I don't think that's necessarily the case. Don't I have him in the palm of my hand now?"As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nuannuan laughed a little madly."What do you mean?" Jiang Sese suddenly raised her head. She instinctively felt that there was a hidden meaning in these words.Jiang Sese questioned, "Jiang Nuannuan, what did you do to Fengchen?""You don't have to know what I've done to him. Jiang Sese, just go and die!"She abruptly stretched out her hand and squeezed Jiang Sese's neck. The sinister gaze in her eyes made people fearful.While looking at Jiang Sese struggling, she put on a vicious smile.She could finally finish off this woman whom she had hated for a long time!She had waited far too long for this day!So long as Jiang Sese was dead, she would be able to obtain everything that she desired.Men, money, and power, all would and should be in her, Jiang Nuannuan's hands.At the thought of this
