Initially, Jiang Sese was not concerned with anything he had to say, but after hearing this, she could not respond.This was suicide!The people that could develop such a deadly pathogen were not to be messed with!She spun around and asked in disbelief, “Are you crazy? Aren’t you afraid something could go wrong?”Sensing the concern in her tone, Fu Jingyun felt extremely content. He smiled. “No. I will be very careful. I owe you and I must do this.”Jiang Sese frowned; she knew that Fu Jingyun was doing this for her sake, but she could not let him take such a risk.Although she could not forgive Fu Jingyun for what he did to her, in her subconscious, Fu Jingyun had been like a brother to her.“You can’t go. What about your parents? They’re elderly. If anything were to happen to you, what would happen to them?”Fu Jingyun gently patted Jiang Sese’s head. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. You just have to behave and stay put. I’ll bring back the antidote. Let the servant’s know if you
He gently shook the small vial at his fingertips. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.Finally, the flashing images stopped, frozen on Jiang Sese’s delicate and beautiful face.For Sese’s sake, how much was his life worth?“There’s no need for you to worry, Mister Bo Gelian.”He opened the vial and downed the contents in one gulp.After a few seconds, he held his breath, waiting for some reaction to his body. At the same time, slight doubt grew in his heart.This liquid was not only colorless, but also tasted like water.He tried to feel if anything was unusual, but could not discern any indication that poison had entered his throat.As far as he knew, all drugs, however delicate they were, had even a slight taste.However, this drug was so tasteless that it was terrifying… Bo Gelian stared at Fu Jingyun, unblinking. After Fu Jingyun drained the vial, Bo Gelian suddenly clasped his palms and laughed, “You’re quite the man, Mister Fu. Not bad. I can see that you’re se
Who…was this person?Ending his conversation, he immediately walked toward Jin Fengchen and Gu Nian.Bo Gelian raised his glass in a gentlemanly manner, “Gentlemen, thank you for taking the time to attend this banquet.”The two of them had already noticed Bo Gelian approaching them.Jin Fengchen maintained his cool and smiled lightly. “My pleasure, Mister Bo Gelian.”His tone was polite, his actions poised and graceful--worthy of the young master of a prominent family.This made Bo Gelian even more curious and suspicious. He smiled. “I’m getting older and my memory is failing me. Which family are you the Young Master of?”Jin Fengchen replied in neither an obsequious nor supercilious manner, “The Andre family. I’m Mister Andre’s junior. The master is ill, but did not want to miss the banquet. So, he asked me to come in his stead.”He then motioned Gu Nian to bring out the gift.“This is a small gift from Mister Andre.”Bo Gelian glanced at the gift. It was an extremely rare a
He was shocked and quickly chased after him.Tugging at Jin Fengchen’s jacket, he whispered, “This is not the time to act. There are too many people here. Too big a scene would arouse Bo Gelian’s suspicion.”Jin Fengchen lowered his gaze and calmed himself. He was being too rash.They had not yet found Sese yet. The most important thing now is to not show their hand and find a chance to turn the tables.Jin Fengchen stared at Fu Jingyun standing onstage and clenched his fists. His face was devoid of expression.The night went on with wine glasses clinking and dancing.It was approaching eleven o'clock, and it seemed that the banquet was about to end.Staring at Bo Gelian, who was talking with the guests at a distance, Jin Fengchen’s expression darkened.He and Gu Nian left silently and snuck toward the parking lot.Jin Fengchen sat in the driver's seat. His face was calm as he watched the hands of his watch slowly approach twelve o'clock.A few minutes later, there was a comm
Meanwhile, in the Andre Manor.Jin Fengchen walked up to the main house. Yellow spotlights illuminated the trees on both sides.The door of the house suddenly opened, and a tall, young man came out. “Fengchen! We finally meet again!”The man opened his arms and walked toward the two of them. He hugged Jin Fengchen.Jin Fengchen patted him on the shoulder with a thankful smile on his face. “Thank you for tonight, Andre.”“It’s rare that I would be of use to you. Naturally, I am glad to help.”With that, Andre put his arm around Jin Fengchen’s shoulder. “How did it go? Were you found out?” “No, no one’s discovered my true identity, for the time being.”The two looked at each other before laughing.“I really must thank you. I would’ve been in big trouble tonight otherwise,” Jin Fengchen said, raising his eyebrows.Andre pretended to be angry and punched Jin Fengchen on the shoulder. “It's nothing. You helped me so much in the past, and never asked for anything in return.”The
When she walked to the door, the bodyguard stopped her. “Miss Jiang, you leave the vicinity.”Jiang Sese had to accept her fate and walked back to the room.Around midnight, after confirming that the female servant who was watching her had fallen asleep, Jiang Sese slowly opened her eyes.The clock by the bed said it was a quarter before one in the morning.She walked silently toward the window and agilely climbed out.She had not kicked up a fuss for the past few days in order to get to this moment.After a couple of days for observation, she realized that the floor of the room she lived in was not that high. Therefore, she dared to take the risk.With much effort, Jiang Sese stood on the second-floor ledge and looked down at the two-meter drop below her. She took a deep breath.She jumped down without hesitation. As soon as her feet landed, Jiang Sese felt a piercing pain shoot up her ankles. She clasped on her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.She dared not hesitat
“Don’t ask so many questions and help me find her!”Fu Jingyun's tone was very impolite. Before Catalina could answer, he had hung up the phone.Catalina was inexplicably furious as she stared at the darkened screen.Now, he dared to be rude with her!If not for being at the whim of others, she would not be so subservient.As time passed by, Jin Fengchen grew more anxious.He kept staring at the darkened phone screen. There was no news about Jiang Sese.‘Sese, where are you…’ Meanwhile, Jiang Sese no longer knew where she was. Staring at the empty streets, she could not help but feel sad and tired.However, she dared not stop. She did not want to return to that claustrophobic space.Then, her stomach growled.She rummaged through her pockets; they were empty.When she escaped, she was not empty-handed. She guessed she must have dropped her wallet when she fell near the entrance. She did not have time to care about anything else at the time.As for her cell phone, Fu Jingy
Maybe she should just find a 24-hour convenience store and stay there for a night. That would be fine.As she made up her mind to say something, Bo Gelian said ahead of her, “Don’t reject me, Sophia. I really want to help you.”Since he insisted, Jiang Sese said, embarrassed, “Mister Bo Gelian, really thank you for…”Bo Gelian shrugged, unbothered. “Just accept my help then. I didn’t mean to bruise you, and I don’t want to owe you anything, alright?”Hearing that, Jiang Sese had no choice but to accept his help. She followed him into the car.Jiang Sese’s fatigue and tension from the whole night were relieved as she got back into Bo Gelian’s car. Her eyes started to close.However, she still remembered that she could not just fall asleep in another person's car.She quietly balled her fist, piercing her nails into her palm to try to stay awake with the pain.Bo Gelian took a look at Jiang Sese’s calf as he lowered the temperature of the air-conditioner. He softly asked, “Sophia
