Chapter 1037: 1022, Jue and Zhanâs Couple Extra (21) Chapter 1037: 1022, Jue and Zhanâs Couple Extra (21) âShut your mouth,â Lou Xin said with a menacing look, raising her voice. âI know he seems to have let go of you, but deep down he still loves you. Itâs all your fault. If you had made him give up hope from the beginning, he wouldnât be so hopelessly devoted to you. Zhan Mingyan, you already have someone you like, so why continue to flirt and seduce? Youâre such a flirtatious woman.â
Zhan Mingyan looked at her calmly, knowing she had lost her reason. âWhat do you want to do by kidnapping me? Even if you have kidnapped me, do you think He Min would be with you?â
âZhan Mingyan, I heard youâre getting married. I havenât had the chance to properly congratulate you yet,â Lou Xin said, regaining some composure, with a smirk that was not quite a smile. âWhat wedding gift do you think would be appropriate for me to give you?â
Zhan Mingyan felt a sudden sense of dread as she watched the smile on her face, twisting her hands behind her back, trying to free herself from the ropes.
âThe last time your boyfriend purposefully dropped a sweet potato at my feet, letâs settle that score today,â Lou Xin said.
âLou Xin, if itâs discovered that youâve kidnapped me, itâs not just you who will be implicated; your entire Lou Family will suffer the consequences,â Zhan Mingyan said calmly but with a cold voice.
Lou Xin responded, âHa, Iâm aware that the Zhan Family has deep roots in Beijing and that we, the Lou Family, canât compare. But so what? As long as I have something over you that I can use to my advantage, what do I have to worry about?â
Zhan Mingyan saw the madness in her eyes and swiftly changed tact, âLou Xin, you must have heard of Jian Qing, right?â
âSo what if I have?â
The CEO of the Jian Group, the wife of JK Internationalâs CEOâit wouldnât be an exaggeration to say sheâs the most prestigious woman in all of Beijing.
âThen you should also be aware that she takes offense very easily. I can assure you that within an hour, Jian Qing will find this place. If you lay a finger on me, I guarantee that Jian Qing will completely obliterate you,â Zhan Mingyan said with an icy voice.
Lou Xinâs eyes glinted with malice, waves of unease rising within her.
Jian Qingâs ruthless and ferocious nature was no secret within their circles; even Chu Ruohan and Song Xirou had fallen at her hands. If she really got caught by Jian Qing, she wouldnât be able to escape her clutches.
But since she had already kidnapped her, she absolutely did not want to just let her go without a fight.
Besides, if she released her and Zhan Mingyan decided to seek retribution during the autumn, wouldnât that bring trouble upon herself anyway?
âZhan Mingyan, stop trying to scare me. I donât believe a word of your nonsense,â Lou Xin said with a cruel smile.
âIf I canât have the happiness I want, donât think you can happily get married,â she added.
Zhan Mingyan watched her warily, âWhat are you trying to do?â
âTell me, if your fiancĂ© knows that another man has slept with you, do you think he would still want you?â Lou Xin said, a triumphant smirk on her face.
Zhan Mingyan felt a tightness in her chest.
âWhat are you waiting for?â Lou Xin looked toward the driver and the two men standing guard at the door, lifting her chin arrogantly as she commanded.
âThis is the young Miss of the Zhan Family, make sure you treat her well.â
The men exchanged glances, lust flashing in their murky eyes.
Zhan Mingyan watched the men approach her with panic flitting through her eyes. âGet away from me, Lou Xin, you madwoman. Stop them!â
Before she could finish speaking, one of the men knocked over the chair, and Zhan Mingyan fell onto the concrete floor, the dust rise making her cough uncontrollably.
Lou Xin walked over, the men stepping aside, and she grabbed Zhan Mingyan by the hair, slapping her across the face with the back of her hand.
âSlapââ
Her fair cheek swelled visibly red at a visible rate, and Zhan Mingyanâs lips bled. She struggled fiercely with her hands and kicked her bound legs hard at Lou Xinâs abdomen.
Caught off guard, Lou Xin felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and she fell to the ground.
âZhan Mingyan, youâre courting death!â
She stood up, seeing her clothes dirtied and glared at Zhan Mingyan with an intense fury. âAs long as youâre not tormenting her to death, do as you please.â
After she had finished speaking, she walked aside and picked up the camera to start shooting.
âDonât, donât touch me, get away, all of you get awayâŠâ Zhan Mingyan, with her hands and feet bound, screamed at the sight of the manâs approaching hand.
Two men untied the ropes from her hands, grasping her wrists, while another man roughly tore open her coat.
âStop it, Lou Xin, I wonât let you offâŠâ
With a ârip,â her white shirt was torn to shreds.
Zhan Mingyanâs eyes reddened, filled with the image of Bai Jue.
âHahaha, Zhan Mingyan, Iâd like to see who would want you now,â Lou Xin held up the camera, laughing delightedly.
âBangââ
The tightly shut door was kicked open, emanating a massive reverberating noise.
Lou Xin turned her head to see the handsome visage of the newcomer, her face showing horror as she nearly dropped the camera in her hand.
How did he find this place?
Bai Jue, seeing Zhan Mingyan being held by three men not far away and the torn clothes on the ground, instantly saw red in his eyes.
âArrest them for me.â
Nobody could see his movements clearly, and by the time they realized what was happening, the man who had been tearing Zhan Mingyanâs clothes was kicked flying away.
The other two men, seeing this unfold, quickly tried to run.
They hadnât made it two steps before they were caught by people sent by Jian Qing.
âYanyan!â
Bai Jue untied the ropes from her feet and reached out to embrace her in his arms.
âBai Jue, why did you take so long to come?â Zhan Mingyan clung tightly to him, her tears soaking through the front of his shirt.
Just now, she thought she was going to be ruined, she was afraid she would never see him again.
âIâm sorry, so sorry!â Bai Jue bowed his head, his thin lips touching her hair, his large hand gently stroking her back.
He had almost lost her, just barely.
âBai Jue, Iâm scared!â Truly frightened this time, Zhan Mingyan could no longer maintain her facade of strength in front of him, her tense nerves finally relaxed, and she broke down in tears.
Bai Jue looked down at her tattered clothes, took off his own coat, and draped it over her, âBe good, Iâm here, no one can hurt you. Put on the coat so you donât catch a cold later.â
He wouldnât let go of anyone who had hurt her.
Zhan Mingyan had a pale face, her eyes wet with unshed tears, as she let Bai Jue help her into the coat.
Seeing her swollen cheeks with a vivid handprint, Bai Jueâs whole being turned icy, his calloused fingertips gently wiping away her tears, âWho did this?â
Zhan Mingyan sniffled and pointed her finger at Lou Xin and the driver.
âClose your eyes and rest well, leave the rest to me.â Bai Jue kissed her forehead gently and then picked her up in his arms.
Then, he strode away.
âGuard them well for me.â
