Chapter 2871: Chapter 2871: The First to Find Her (9)

"..."

Jiang Nan was taken aback, unexpectedly raising his head.

Dan Tingye is here... Why would he come here at this time?

Jiang Nan’s narrow eyes slightly squinted, his thin lips parted slightly, "Say I’m not here, and make sure everyone keeps their mouths shut. If even a single word about Meimei being here leaks out, I’ll take their lives!"

"Yes, understood." The bodyguard bowed respectfully and quickly retreated.

Only Jiang Nan remained in the office, along with the assistant who hadn’t had time to leave.

"Young Master, Mr. Tingye found out so quickly. Does he already know something? Do we need to move Miss Meimei to a safer place?"

"No need. If he knows Meimei is with me, no matter where I hide her, he’ll find her." Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes, walked to the sofa, and sat down, his injured hand clenched into a fist, his knuckles tightly squeezed.

He just wants to protect Meimei right now, prevent her from experiencing any more distress; it’s not about deliberately opposing Dan Tingye.

Jiang Nan sat for a while, then suddenly stood up from the sofa, quickly stepping towards the lounge.

Reaching the door, he stopped.

Sweat repeatedly permeated his palms, nervous to the point of not knowing where to place his hands.

Just thinking about Meimei lying inside, wounded all over, made him lose the courage to even enter.

Standing alone for a long time, until the assistant behind him couldn’t help but want to remind him, he finally stepped into the room.

The room was very dark.

There were no lights, and the curtains were tightly drawn, with only a faint light streaming through the gaps, barely revealing the room’s outlines.

Meimei lay quietly on the bed, her wet clothes had already been changed by someone, her eyes slightly closed, asleep, but her small hand still anxiously clutching the sheets, fingertips pale.

"Don’t... touch me..."

The intermittent murmurs made Jiang Nan’s body stiffen, his heart like it had been pierced in an instant, aching to the point that he wanted to bend over.

The handsome face, its contours taut, teeth clenched, he walked to the bedside, sat beside her, reached out, and held her small hand tightly in his palm.

"It’s okay now, Jiang Nan is here with you, no one will hurt you again."

Jiang Nan’s narrow eyes slightly squinted, his fingers couldn’t help but run over her pale cheeks, looking at her whitening little face, his thin lips pressed tightly together, as if memories were slipping back many years ago.

He himself can’t quite recall the exact moment he met Meimei, only vaguely remembers it seemed to be when he was first brought to stay long term at a private villa from the domestic residence.

He was the Jiang Family’s most treasured young master, Sir Jiang held him in the palm of his hand from a young age, aside from being a bit demanding, he was otherwise indulged, coupled with Jiang Jinchen and Ning Yanan always being busy and rarely having time to keep him company, which fostered his reckless nature.

Making fun of servants, teasing young girls... those were trivial, and in time his personality became extremely unruly, often resulting in physical altercations, making Jiang Jinchen notice something was wrong, and in frustration, he was packed off to the private villa.

Under the guise of letting him be a companion to Dan Tingye, having an elder brother look after him, though he knew he was sent there to be punished.

At the private villa, nobody treated him as the young master, even when servants made mistakes, their punishments were lighter than his; he initially resisted many times and was dealt with by Dan Hanjie numerous times.

Later, when he saw Dan Tingye being beaten too, it balanced things out for him.
