Chapter 398 - 397: Try touching her again and see what happens



Chapter 398: Chapter 397: Try touching her again and see what happens

Jiang Nanshu’s brain was in a fog, the violent shaking throbbing with pain.

She immediately came to her senses and reached for Lu Qingyan’s hand, “Lu Qingyan, are you all right?”

He coughed lowly twice, “I’m fine.”

Ye Yuan cursed, “Who the hell is this? I’m going to charge him with attempted murder!”

Fortunately, the branches were not thick, and the car was sturdy. Otherwise, with that force, they would have been severely injured if not dead.

Jiang Nanshu’s anger surged instantly.

Ye Yuan unlocked the car doors, getting ready to let Jiang Nanshu and the others out.

Before he moved, the car door at the back seat opened first, right on Jiang Nanshu’s side. She was yanked out with great force.

Lu Qingyan reached up to cover his forehead where he had been cut by the window; malice surged in his eyes. He forcefully tugged off his tie, wrapped it around his hand, and then followed getting out of the car.

“Jiang Nanshu, where have you hidden Wanwan? Give her back to me, damn it!” Bao Yan’s eyes were bloodshot, his clothes were disheveled, his beard was unkempt, he looked utterly like a madman.

His hands were tightly gripping Jiang Nanshu’s arms, pinning her against the car door.

His crazed appearance seemed to firmly believe she had hidden Xu Xingwan away.

Jiang Nanshu forcefully shook him off, and Bao Yan staggered several steps backward.

“Crazy, how would I know where Xu Xingwan has gone.”

“It’s impossible! It was after she went out with you that day, and then she disappeared the next day. You must have said something to her, give Wanwan back to me.”

Seeing him about to grab her again, Jiang Nanshu kicked him away, “Dian Gong! I’ve already said I don’t know where Xu Xingwan is; her disappearance has nothing to do with me.”

But Bao Yan just wouldn’t believe her, he was convinced that Jiang Nanshu was involved.

Lu Qingyan had ruined his company, and Jiang Nanshu was trying to break up his love.

Madness flashed through his eyes, but before he could act, he was knocked to the ground by an advancing kick from Lu Qingyan. His tie-wrapped hand furiously smashing into Bao Yan’s face. Bao Yan, in pain, reacted and began to fight back.

The two tangled and fought.

“Lu Qingyan, stop fighting, your stomach hasn’t healed yet. The doctor said you need to rest,” Jiang Nanshu rushed to pull him away.

But the red-eyed man pushed her away, his punches becoming even more aggressive.

Ye Yuan had called the police, and he was shocked at the sight before him.

“Stop fighting, stop, oh no.”

He was hopping about at the side.

Jiang Nanshu went forward again and called to Ye Yuan, “Aren’t you going to pull them apart!”

Ye Yuan then hurriedly tried to pull Lu Qingyan away.

In the end, Lu Qingyan gave another dissatisfied kick at Bao Yan.

Breathing heavily, he unbuttoned his shirt, his tone vicious, “Try touching her again and see what happens.”

Jiang Nanshu quickly stepped forward, half-hugging and consoling him as she led him a few steps away from Bao Yan, “I’m fine, it’s not worth dealing with a madman like him. If you injure him, you’ll still have to pay his medical expenses.”

Only then did Jiang Nanshu notice his hand. Even with the tie wrapped around, his knuckles were broken, red, and swollen, indicating the force of his blows.

And the blood on Lu Qingyan’s forehead had dried and clotted at the corner of his eye.

Jiang Nanshu took a tissue to wipe it.

“We’ve just come out of the hospital, and now we’re going back in,” Jiang Nanshu sighed.

Bao Yan spat out a bloody spit, his mouth corner split, his face covered in bruises, wincing in pain at the slightest touch. He glared hard at Jiang Nanshu, “Give me back my Wanwan… Tell me where she went, Jiang Nanshu.”

He stubbornly asked.

Lu Qingyan took a step forward, seeing that the fight was about to escalate, Jiang Nanshu quickly called for Ye Yuanlai to hold him back.

Turning to Bao Yan, she said, “Are you sick or what? I’m not close with Xu Xingwan. That night she came to me wanting to talk, telling me to ask Lu Qingyan to stop targeting you. I didn’t agree, business matters are for you men to handle, whether it’s success or failure. How could it possibly be decided by a word from me?”

Bao Yan stared at Jiang Nanshu, dumbfounded.

The once dignified and indifferent CEO had become such a sorry figure, which was truly lamentable.

Jiang Nanshu didn’t understand what was going on between these two either. Even if they quarreled, why was she shouldering a false accusation? If Xu Xingwan were to die, would they blame her too? Was there any reason in that?

She wasn’t sick, why would she hide Xu Xingwan?

“Is that all? I don’t believe it… You must have said something to Wanwan, didn’t you? Did you tell her to leave me? Jiang Nanshu, give her back to me, I will die without her.”

Lu Qingyan pushed Ye Yuanlai aside and went straight into a fight, “Bastard, I’ll let you die right now.”

Bao Yan was so enraged by Lu Qingyan that he blurted out curses.

In the end, it was the police and Bao Yan’s wife who arrived and finally got control of the two men.

Lu Qingyan got hurt in the process.

Bao Yan fared even worse, both eyes swollen from the beating.

The police demanded that they go to the station to make a statement and to be held accountable for the car accident.

Standing beside the police was a woman who was very petite, with ordinary looks but a gentle temperament, and her fair skin added to her unique charm.

She was Miss Zhao of the Zhao Family, Bao Yan’s wife to whom he had been married for three years in an arranged marriage. Her belly was rather large now, looking to be about five or six months pregnant, and she was close to giving birth in a short time.

Miss Zhao hurried over to help Bao Yan up, her expression one of heartache, “Ah Yan.”

And Bao Yan, who had always been relatively respectful to her, shoved her away this time, “Get lost, stay away from me!”

If it weren’t for the police catching her quickly, the safety of the child might have been at risk.

The police didn’t care about his status; one has to behave properly in society.

So they sternly rebuked him, “Sir, please do not treat your wife in such a manner. Your recent actions could harm her and the fetus inside her. If an accident occurs, it will be too late for regrets.”

Miss Zhao’s eyes brimmed with tears, forcing a smile, her voice soft and tender, “I’m fine.”

It was unclear whether Bao Yan took in what was said; he refused his wife’s assistance and got up by himself.

But his gaze remained fixated on Jiang Nanshu.

Jiang Nanshu felt she had bad luck, getting involved with a mad dog.

Lu Qingyan scoffed and cracked his knuckles, “Some people just need a beating. Bao Yan, if you dare to harass my wife again, I’ll make you regret it.”

Jiang Nanshu patted his back, “Alright, let’s go give our statements and then get you checked out at the hospital.”

It was already 10:30 p.m. when they left the police station.

Miss Zhao took Bao Yan away, apologizing to them before leaving, asking them not to blame him for losing his senses due to Xu Xingwan’s disappearance.

Jiang Nanshu truly found this family to be an entertainment.

Bao Yan married into the Zhao Family for the sake of business, and yet he kept the woman he loved outside the marriage.

And Xu Xingwan, fully aware that Bao Yan was married, still could not break free from him. Perhaps, in her heart, she had feelings for him, just like a Stockholm syndrome victim eventually falling in love with her captor.

So she willingly became a mistress.

And Miss Zhao was interesting as well.

She knew about Bao Yan’s past and was aware that he kept a woman on the side.

But she didn’t make a fuss, didn’t interfere, did not overstep.

Perhaps it was this reason she was able to stay by Bao Yan’s side, even getting pregnant, the very epitome of a “good wife and loving mother”.
