The rain had obviously become lighter but the sky remained hazy, putting people into a depressed mood.

  Su Yurou heard the man’s indifferent voice and suddenly felt as if she was in the snow.

  Mr. Chen?

  She had long lived in S City and had not heard of such a man.

  Su Yurou couldn’t help dashing toward the man and asking him another question, “Which Chen, please?”


  The man looked up slightly and through his sunglasses, he could as if read Su Yurou’s mind.

  Su Yurou’s hand trembled uncontrollably and the man’s hoarse voice sounded in the misty rain, “Chen as in Dong Chen Country.”


  Chen as in Dong Chen Country……

  This was the first time Su Yurou heard someone introduced himself in such manner.

  Su Yurou was taken aback for a moment. As if thinking of something, Su Yurou examined the man for a while. Then, she blurted, “Mr. Chen, are you not from Jiuzhou?”


  This time, however, the man was completely impatient. He sneered coldly and left Su Yurou.

  At the exit of the corner of the street, there was a black Volkswagen. The model of the car could be seen everywhere in S City. It could easily blend into the traffic any time.

  A man in black got down from the car and nodded respectfully at Mr. Chen before opening the door for him.

  Su Yurou held on to the wall in a daze. Then, she remembered she had not requested for Mr. Chen’s contact number. However, he was very mysterious and most probably would not give the number he was regularly using. She just had to wait for him to contact her.

  Su Yurou watched as the black Volkswagen disappeared in the rain before she turned around and shot a look at the garbage bin by the corner.

  She clenched her fists tightly. There was a trace of disgust and resentment in her red eyes.

  She was afraid she would have been raped by that dirty fellow who appeared from nowhere if Mr. Chen had not appeared. It was so close!

  Now, the smell and the black palm prints of that man still lingered on her body.

  Su Yurou gritted her teeth. Today’s humiliation was all caused by Su Wan. Now, she had almost lost everything but she would not admit defeat!

  She believed with Mr. Chen’s help, her future days would be smoother.

  Hostility appeared in her eyes. She looked at the dim corner. Before that, she had to ask someone to clear the scene.

  At least the man lying beside the garbage bin had to be dealt with first.

  Su Yurou held the windbreaker tighter and then called her trusted assistant.

  ***

  At the same time, Su Wan had just arrived home. She heard the door lock click and the light beside the door frame lit up, dragging the tall figure longer.

  Stunned, Su Wan looked up and saw his face. She pursed her lips as she asked, “Xuecheng, why are you back? Is your meeting over?”


  Previously, Jiang Xuecheng had delayed a meeting for her sake. If he were to delay his progress of work because of her again, she was afraid she would be called Helen of Troy.

  Jiang Xuecheng’s deep eyes landed on Su Wan. “The meeting is over. Did everything go well for you?”


  When Jiang Xuecheng hosted the meeting, he was worried about Su Wan’s progress in court. He had carried out the meeting at the fastest speed in history.

  Su Wan went to the court as the victim today, so how could he not be worried?

  If Su Wan had not insisted that he chaired the company’s meeting, the person who accompanied her today would definitely not be Ah Si but Jiang Xuecheng himself.

  Hearing that the meeting was over, Su Wan let out a sigh of relief. “Good. I said I could handle it myself. You didn’t have to come back so hastily to see me.”


  Su Wan paused. She smiled faintly and talked about today’s trial.

  “The first trial went smoothly today. Although the verdict isn’t out yet, the evidence is clear. Even if Su Jiankai prays hard, he won’t be able to escape the execution.”


  Su Wan looked relaxed and happy. Although she touched on it lightly, when what she said entered Jiang Xuecheng’s ears, it had a different flavor.

  His eyes dulled and complex emotions crept into his eyes. “Ah Si told me Su Jiankai and Su Yurou had an argument with you after the adjournment of court and it got physical?”


  Ah Si, that loud mouth! He told Jiang Xuecheng everything!

  Su Wan’s smile froze. She shook her head and waved her hand at Jiang Xuecheng.

  “Don’t listen to Ah Si’s exaggeration. Su Yurou and her father are not good indeed but with Ah Si around, they didn’t make it in front of me.”


  As Su Wan was afraid Jiang Xuecheng would be worried, she quickly explained. In a haste, she shook her hand too hard and the wound on the back of her hand which was scratched by Su Yurou earlier on bled!

  On the back of her delicate and fair hand, the sight of the long red marks were particularly frightening.

  The man’s deep eyes shifted to her hand. He shot a cold look and his initial calm look was as if covered by a dark cloud at that moment.

  “Is this what you mean by everything went smoothly?”


  Jiang Xuecheng could even imagine the feel of the sharp nails digging into Su Wan’s flash.

  Su Wan saw Jiang Xuecheng looking attentively at her hand. Only then did she realized that the scab had unexpectedly broken again.

  Except for the time when Su Yurou was scratched, it didn’t hurt much now. If it weren’t for Jiang Xuecheng’s reminder, she wouldn’t feel the pain.

  Su Wan retracted her hand and put it behind her with an awkward look.

  “I’d consider it smooth. This is only a small wound……”


  Jiang Xuecheng darted a side glance of disagreement at her. Then, he walked quickly to a drawer in the hall to get the first aid kit.

  He carried the first aid kit and walked quickly toward Su Wan. He then took out the necessary medicine and tools.

  “I don’t know if other women are like you, not caring about yourself at all. You don’t even deal with it when you’re injured. What if there’s a scar? You’ll cry.”


  When he spoke, he sounded fierce but Su Wan smiled. Why did she feel that this man was like his father when he lectured her?

  However, Su Wan’s smile only lasted for three seconds before it vanished. She inhaled sharply.

  Ouch, it was really painful! There was a burning sensation on her skin!

  The antiseptic that Jiang Xuecheng used was too strong!

  Su Wan was in tears and couldn’t help grumbling softly, “The antiseptic that you’re using is much stronger than Su Yurou’s nails!”


  The faint smell of blood in the air was gone and now replaced with the strong smell of antiseptic.

  Jiang Xuecheng’s dark eyes sparkled. He looked at Su Wan and said, “If you don’t want a scar, you’ll have to endure.”


  Su Wan was taken aback for a moment. Although the man’s tone of voice was a little fierce, his gesture became lighter and gentler……
