Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at Jian Dan—who had finally fallen asleep in his arms—Chu Liyuan’s heart slowly relaxed.

Last night was so intense… Jian Jian must be worn out. She probabiy would not wake up any time soon. Hence, Chu Liyuan left a note for her and left before she woke up…

After all, he was not going to let things go just like that…

By the time Jian Dan woke up, it was already 1 p.m.

She hoped that what happened yesterday was just a dream.

However, when she saw where she was… The messy bed… The bruises on her body… And the bits and pieces that flashed through her mind…

All of these proved that everything that happened last night was real. She was really…

In her memory… She was extremely proactive because of the effects of the drug.

Jian Dan covered her face in pain as tears slowly flowed out from between her fingers.

Would Uncle still want me now?

Even if he did not mind, 1 could not bring myself to stay by his side. How could this dirty body be qualified to be with him?!

Jian Dan thought of ending her life…

However, her parents had risked their lives to save hers back then. Did she have the right to die?

Her cell phone rang…

Initially, Jian Dan did not want to pick it up under such circumstances, but it kept ringing… Jian Dan saw that it was Ling Xiaoyang.

She pressed the answer button and said in a hoarse voice, “Hello…”

“Little Jian Dan, something’s happened to Xia Mengjiao!”

What? Mengjiao? Why did something have to happen to Mengjiao when she was in such a state?

“There’s not much time, so I’ll make it short. She sent me an email yesterday. After 1 decrypted it, 1 realized that other than the evidence of E Media evading taxes, videos of celebrities prostituting themselves, there was also video evidence of E Media using drugs to control celebrities.”

“When I saw it, I immediately called her, but I couldn’t get through.”

“I think something might have happened to her.”

“After all, the contents of these files…”

That’s right! The contents were really… She did not expect E Media to be involved with drugs.

If Mengjiao was discovered to have sent the files, she would definitely be in danger.

But why would Mengjiao go to E Media?

No matter how Mengjiao ended up there, she must have gone back to E Media for her. Hence, she could not let anything happen to her.

Just then, another call came through on Jian Dan’s cell phone.

It was an unfamiliar number… “Xiaoyang, I have an incoming call. Hold on.”

“Hello!”

“It’s me!”

Mei Xiaolin’s voice emanated from the other end of the call…

“You didn’t expect it to be me, right?”

“I don’t have time to entertain you right now.”

Mengjiao’s situation was still unclear. How could she still have the time to listen to her nonsense? She was about to hang up…

“You’re not looking for someone, are you?”

“It was you?”

“Hehe… The person you’re looking for is right here with me. If you don’t want her to die, come to the abandoned factory near the suburbs alone. I’ll be waiting for you.”

Mei Xiaolin’s last sentence sounded very eerie…

After Mei Xiaolin hung up, Jian Dan immediately switched the call back to Xiaoyang. “Xiaoyang, I know where Mengjiao is. I’m going over now…”

“Alone?”

Who did Little Jian Dan think she was? Superwoman? Or a savior?

Now that drugs were involved, did she understand what it meant? Those drug dealers were outlaws who killed without batting an eyelid.

She—a slip of a girl—was going alone? Wasn’t this signing her own death warrant?!

“Absolutely not. We should call the police and let them handle it.”

“There’s no time. I’m afraid something will happen to Mengjiao.”

It was not that she did not trust the police, nor did she have anything against them. It was just that sometimes, the police were indeed a little slow in their work. Even if she called the police, she still had to verify it. She was terrified that something would happen to Mengjiao in the meantime.

“Xiaoyang, listen to me. 1’11 rush to the abandoned factory in the suburbs now. I’ll try my best to delay them. Call the police immediately.”

Jian Dan knew that Xiaoyang would definitely not let her go alone, but Mei Xiaolin had specifically told her to go alone. It was obvious that she wanted to deal with her. If Jian Dan could trade herself for Mengjiao’s safety, she would do it in a heartbeat!

Moreover, she was already dirty… She did not have the courage to face Chu Liyuan…

Jian Dan hurriedly put on her clothes and rushed to the abandoned factory in the suburbs…

Hence, Jian Dan did not notice the note Chu Liyuan had left for her..
