Su Jianan hated it when others touched her. She stomped on Shao Mingzhong's foot with her delicate heels that moved swiftly and said, "Don't. Touch. Me!"
She had actually been very forceful. Shao Mingzhong felt an intense pain but did not yell out in pain in order to save himself from embarrassment. He could only hold it in until his features beneath his mask were all twisted. His blade slid across Su Jianan's throat and he said, "Do you want to die?"
"Calm down. What can you use to threaten Lu Boyan if I die?"
Su Jianan smiled lightly. She moved her hand which was by her side...
The kidnapper was speechless. He could only yell at Lu Boyan once more, "Lu Boyan, I'll give you five minutes. Make a choice!"
Lu Boyan stared at Su Jianan deeply. Everyone thought that he would choose Su Jianan.
"Let Ruoxi go."
Many people doubted their own ears when they heard his answer. However, Han Ruoxi was really let go, unharmed. Then, they pitied Su Jianan.
However, they were surprised that Su Jianan was calm throughout, as if she knew long ago that Lu Boyan would give her up.
Ah, she is indeed a woman who could become a medical examiner.
Shao Mingzhong smiled, as if he was very satisfied with Lu Boyan's choice. He called Shao Mingren over and they quickly left the banquet hall with Su Jianan.
The guests in the banquet hall all started discussing the matter, their nerves still not yet abated. Han Ruoxi stumbled toward Lu Boyan.
"Boyan." Her voice trembled slightly. She tried to hold Lu Boyan's arm as if she were trying to find support.
"Find someone to send you home."
Lu Boyan's gaze remained at where Su Jianan had been brought away. With that, he attempted to leave.
"Don't go!" Han Ruoxi caught his hand just in time. "The two of them were here for you. It's too dangerous. Can you just leave it to the police?"
Lu Boyan glanced at Han Ruoxi and then pulled his hand away and chased after Su Jianan.
Han Ruoxi stayed at where she was dazedly, watching Lu Boyan's back.
If she had not seen wrongly earlier, there was anxiety in Lu Boyan's eyes.
Didn't he say that he did not care for Su Jianan? Didn't he say that they were getting married just to make his mother happy? Why was he anxious over her?
Everyone thought that Lu Boyan had chosen Han Ruoxi in a time of danger. Yet, they did not know that Han Ruoxi would rather be given up by Lu Boyan. Then, the person he was chasing after right now would be her...
Outside the banquet hall, Lu Boyan called Shen Yuechuan the moment he entered the elevator.
Much time had passed since the incident. Shen Yuechuan should long have received a call from the hotel and began his investigation.
Indeed, when his call passed through, Shen Yuechuan said, "The Brothers of Shao left from the basement carpark. I've already gotten someone to watch them. Follow in your car. I'll take people to meet up with you."
Lu Boyan got his car and followed the directions Shen Yuechuan sent, racing after the Brothers of Shao. His face was so dark and cold, it was as if a storm was brewing.
They had dared to lay their hands on Su Jianan. It was doubtless that they were seeking their death!
On the other side, Shen Yuechuan quickly got an ace team that happened to be on the mission in A City. When the captain of the team heard that their opponents were a pair of brothers of a small bankrupted company, he cussed and said, "The police can handle such small fry. Why do you need us?"
"We can't call the cops." Shen Yuechuan said. "Your sister-in-law doesn't want the people in the police station to know that she's Mrs. Lu. Furthermore, Boss brought you guys to A City..."
The captain's expression was floored. "It was so we can handle such sudden and small situations and protect little sister-in-law?!"
"Yep."
The captain and his members finally understood why they have been handling small missions in A City and its surrounding areas. He felt like crying. "Didn't he say they would divorce in two years? Why is he putting his heart and soul in such a short marriage? He should just put in his kidneys!"
Shen Yuechuan harrumphed. Then, he sighed and said, "You people fight and kill all day long. What would you know?"
Even he could not understand what Lu Boyan wanted to do.
The Brothers of Shao were equally confused.
They had kidnapped Su Jianan, but why did it seem that... they were the ones who had their hands and legs tied up and were lying on the ground!
20 minutes earlier.
The Brothers of Shao brought Su Jianan to the remote countryside. Shao Mingren bought fast food from downstairs while Shao Mingzhong brought Su Jianan upstairs to the shabby condo.
Shao Mingzhong said with hatred, "We used to live in a high-class apartment in the city center. But because of Lu Boyan, we can only stay here now!"
"Did Lu Boyan rob you?" Su Jianan asked.
"A few months ago, we gambled our entire company, and competed with Lu Boyan. In the end..." They lost all their money in the end.
Shao Mingzhong could not bear to recall what had happened.
Su Jianan blinked. "Then you can only blame yourselves for not being as skilled. The main point is your skills, and not the other person, alright? You can stand up from where you fell. Instead, you guys went to kidnap me. Did you guys get your focus wrong?"
They were no match for Lu Boyan. This was a wound of Shao Mingzhong. Su Jianan's words were doubtlessly jabbing at them.
He pressed Su Jianan onto a chair viciously and tied up her hands. "Sit down. I'll let Lu Boyan have a taste of what it's like to lose something!"
Su Jianan did not struggle. Instead, she smiled. Shao Mingzhong was too naive. Lu Boyan did not care about her. What kind of feelings would he have if he lost her?
They seemed as if they could never figure out the main point of the issue. However, she did not wish to tell Shao Mingzhong these things.
"Shao Mingzhong. Do you know what I do?" She asked.
"Didn't you marry Lu Boyan? Do you still need to work?"
"Who told you that women don't need to work after marrying into a wealthy family?" Su Jianan said with a smile. She continued, "I'm a medical examiner specially engaged by the city police force. I work with dead people every day. For example, if you, unfortunately, become a corpse, I will cut open your chest and remove your organs. Or I might take some things out from your organs and analyze why you died..."
Shao Mingzhong felt more and more uncomfortable as he listened to her. However, he did not want to let Su Jianan know that she had scared him. He lit a cigarette to bolster his courage.
"You look so well-practiced smoking. You must have smoked for more than 10 years. Do you know how your lungs look like right now?" Su Jianan described vividly. "They are filled with black spots, as if they were mouldy."
Shao Mingzhong felt his scalp going numb. He put out his cigarette viciously and glared at Su Jianan, "What exactly do you want to say!"
"Let me go." Su Jianan said. "Even though I am not in the roll, I am almost a civil servant. Do you know that the consequences of kidnapping me are more serious than kidnapping Han Ruoxi?"
"Ah, you have quite the smart mouth." Shao Mingzhong took off his shirt and approached her dangerously. "I want to see how impressive you are."
He placed his hands on the handles on both sides of the chair and leaned into Su Jianan. The color in his eyes grew darker as he said, "I just realized that you are not weaker than Han Ruoxi. Lu Boyan is really lucky."
Su Jianan smiled and lifted her leg viciously. Her heels stabbed Shao Mingzhong's crotch forcefully.
"Ah!"
It was a thousand times more painful than when she stepped on him. Shao Mingzhong was in so much pain that not only his features were twisted. His howl could almost cause the roof to collapse.
Su Jianan took advantage of Shao Mingzhong's inability to get up for the time being and quickly undid the ropes on her hands. Then, she tied up Shao Mingzhong.
Shao Mingzhong looked at Su Jianan incredulously as she moved swiftly. How was this possible? He had tied her up firmly. How did Su Jianan undo the ropes?
"I learned how to tie knots in the police station. Your method of tying is too simple. You don't even need to use your brains to undo them." Su Jianan took out clear tape and sealed Shao Mingzhong's mouth. Then, she tied up his legs. She then took a wooden rod and hid behind the door, waiting for Shao Mingren to return.
"Mmph... mmph... mmph..." Shao Mingzhong curled up on the floor, anxious.
Shao Mingren quickly brought back three boxes of takeaway. However, he was surprised to find his older brother lying on the floor with his hands and legs tied up. He quickly tossed the takeaway away and rushed toward him. "Brother, what happened? Where's Su Jianan!"
"Mmph! Mmph!" Shao Mingzhong tried valiantly to use his eyes to tell his brother to mind his back. However, it was too late by the time Shao Mingren reacted.
"Crash." Su Jianan's wooden rod landed forcefully.
Shao Mingren felt a wave of pain behind his neck. And then, he fell onto the ground and lost consciousness.
Shao Mingzhong closed his eyes. They were screwed. They had provoked a little monster in rabbit's clothing.
And just like this, the role of the Brothers of Shao and Su Jianan switched. They were tied up and laid on the ground while Su Jianan sat on the sofa comfortably. The two brothers could only stare at her. "I know you guys won't take going bankrupt going down." Su Jianan walked toward them. "But you shouldn't have kidnapped me, who had no grievances with you. Since you have been so heartless to me, then I can only return the favor." She shrugged, looking innocent. Shao Mingzhong could only accept his fate helplessly. "We admit defeat. Let us go. I will send you home, and let's wipe the slate clean, alright?" "It seems like I'm in charge now?" Su Jianan smiled. Then, she shook her head. "I feel that letting you guys go to prison for a few years would be better. Wait patiently. The police will come to fetch you soon." She clapped her hands and then stood up. She looked at the shoes she used to kick Sha
Lu Boyan was also being tested. The one in his arms was beautifully delicate and frail. With her drawing closer, all he smelled and sensed was the fragrance of camellia exuding from her body. What killed him the most was that his hand had touched her skin without any obstruction. And the sense of touch was as good as always. A soft and warm body filled his arms. Her exquisite and beautiful curve was within his reach... It just happened that her two brushes of fanny eyelashes were blinking over and over, her pair of peachy eyes, which should have been flirty, were as clear as the stream in deep mountains, which made people could not have the heart to hold any vicious thoughts towards her. Never had Lu Boyan struggled like this before. Moreover, never had he strived so strenuously that he was finally able to refrain himself from thinking about those messy things. While down below the apartment building, without anything to do, Shen Yuechuan was chatting wit
It was true that Su Jianan did fall asleep, but it was just a light one. It was not long before she felt that the car had stopped. She also opened her eyes. As expected, she was home. Uncle Xu was holding a pair of shoes and waited outside the car door. She pushed the car door open. Uncle Xu laid down the pair of shoes and said, "Young Madam, are you alright? Oh, yes, Mr. Su is here." "My brother!?" Su Jianan smiled brightly out of surprise, "of course I am fine!" She put on her shoes and ran into the room, without paying any attention to Lu Boyan who was behind her. Uncle Xu sighed sadly, "Young Master, it seems that when it comes to impact on Young Madam, you cannot beat Mr. Su." Lu Boyan got down from the car with a sullen look. By contrast, Su Jianan was much happier. "Brother!" As soon as Su Jianan saw Su Yicheng, she just ran at him and bumped into Su Yicheng's arms all of a sudden.
Lu Boyan's residence. Su Jianan had tried over ten different sleep postures and had made over ten attempts at summoning any somnolence she thought she had in her, but still, sleep eluded her. Usually, she would fall asleep the moment she hit the sack. But tonight, thoughts of Lu Boyan's bridal carry preoccupied her mind. The way his strong hands felt when they were pressed against her skin, his body heat, the warmth of his firm pectorals, the sharp contours of his handsome face... Oh, it was as if she was back in his arms again, reliving the same experience, seeing and feeling everything clearly. Her pulse began to race... "Hey, you'd left Lu Boyan's embrace ages ago, okay! Just stop this! Argh!" she thought. Usually, Su Jianan had better self-control than that. But this time, stopping herself really did seem like a lost cause, so she got out of bed and left her bedroom. She needed a drink to calm herself! Su Jianan noticed
On the way to Orchid Gardens, Su Jianan was bubbling with excitement. "Lu Boyan, you must feel very happy to have a mother like Auntie Tang." That was one thing about Lu Boyan that she was most envious of. From the moment they got married until now, Su Jianan had kept addressing Tang Yulan as 'auntie' like she used to. But in truth, Tang Yulan was waiting for Su Jianan to start using a different honorific. Lu Boyan frowned. "Su Jianan, we're already married. My mother is your mother too," he reminded. To Su Jianan, who had lost her mother at the age of fifteen, maternal love was something extremely precious? Lu Boyan's words... was he expressing his willingness to share his mother's love with her? "Aww, Lu Boyan. I'm surprisingly touched by your words... Even if it's just for two years, I'll treat Auntie Tang like my own mother!" said Su Jianan sincerely. "Thank you!" "...&quo
As yet, Su Jianan and Lu Boyan had not even consummated their marriage. In fact, they had already agreed to a divorce, which would happen in two years' time. How on earth were they supposed to have kids? Also, this topic was... it was practically a test for how thick-faced she was! Su Jianan's face turned as red as a poppy and she suddenly grew fidgety. She did not have the courage to look at Tang Yulan and Lu Boyan. Lu Boyan admired Su Jianan's facial expressions with interest. "Wasn't she the one who'd demanded me to take my clothes off the night before we got married? Why is she blushing now?" he thought. But he could not deny that she looked more like a shy teenager when she was blushing. There was a flicker in her eyes, one that made her look like a deer caught in the headlights. It made him feel that... that he would be facing a total injustice if he did not at least try to tease her. He pulled Su Jianan into his arms affecti
Su Jianan was staring Lu Boyan and letting her imagination run wild, when Lu Boyan suddenly opened his eyes. Amid the night-time ambience, that danger and coldness in his long, narrow eyes were far more intense than they usually seemed. Startled, Su Jianan took a deep breath. Lu Boyan sneered. "If I'd intended to do something to you, do you think you'd still be standing over there?" "Then... then where would I be?" Su Jianan asked blankly. "The bed, of course." Lu Boyan's lips curved upwards, forming an evil grin. Another sound went off in her head. Something had exploded in her skull, causing Su Jianan's mind to go completely blank. Not because of what Lu Boyan had said, but because... because he knew exactly what she was afraid of! That was just pure evil... "Pass me the throw pillows on the couch," Lu Boyan said all of a sudden. "Oh." Obediently, Su Jianan did
The doxxing threat was no longer a cause for concern, so the following day, Su Jianan went to work as usual. What Su Jianan did not know was that Su Yuanyuan's hatred for her had reached its breaking point. When Su Jianan and Lu Boyan visited during their post-nuptial homecoming, Su Yuanyuan had intended to use her leg injury as an excuse to get closer to Lu Boyan. But what ended up happening was beyond her expectations. Instead of catching Lu Boyan's attention, she got sent to the hospital by Su Jianan. It was like trying to steal a chicken using rice as bait, but ended up having the bait stolen instead. Ever since that day, Su Yuanyuan had been plotting her revenge. Now, her opportunity had finally come. Countless of Han Ruoxi's retarded fans on the internet were looking for Su Jianan. So if she leaked Su Jianan's personal details onto the internet, it would eliminate the need for her to execute her revenge with her own two hands. There would be hordes
