    Differentiation Imminent

    Wife

    Perhaps because the word “heat” had been etched too deeply into her mind before sleep, Jiang Jinyi actually dreamed of that shameful incident from several years ago. She dreamed of being “forced” into heat by Jiang Youwan, and even being “humiliated” by her.

    When she woke up, Jiang Jinyi felt so angry, so angry, especially with herself for not remembering sooner. Why hadn’t she seized the opportunity last night to take proper revenge on Jiang Youwan? Instead, she had obediently used her pheromones to soothe her, and was even forcefully kissed by her…

    At the thought of this, a wave of heat flared up on Jiang Jinyi’s face again. She went to the washbasin and washed her face with cold water before the heat finally died down.

    Because Jiang Youwan had been in her heat last night, she had no sanity. All her actions were based on her craving for desire; it wasn’t as if she had kissed her on purpose.

    Jiang Jinyi thought to herself, She really got off easy.

    Jiang Youwan was awakened by a slight rustling. Lying on her side, she slowly opened her eyes to find Jiang Jinyi standing by the edge of the bed, her head lowered, seriously and nervously fiddling with something.

    The moment she opened her eyes, she could see Xiao Jin; the moment she opened her eyes, Xiao Jin was right beside her.

    Jiang Youwan had dreamed of this scene countless times, but they were always bubbles that shattered the moment she woke up.

    At this moment, however, it was real. She felt Jiang Jinyi’s hand, which was slightly cooler than her own, clutching her arm—holding it gently, without any force at all.

    Jiang Youwan’s gaze traced her features, ultimately lingering on the lips she had kissed the night before.

    Jiang Jinyi’s lips were beautifully shaped and exceptionally full, featuring a distinct lip pearl1 that made them look like soft, strawberry-flavored jelly.

    She really wanted to taste them again.

    What a pity that now she no longer had that kind of righteous justification to kiss her.

    She parted her lips and asked, “What are you doing?”

    Jiang Jinyi swept up her long eyelashes and glanced at her. Seeing her faint smile, she averted her gaze as if fleeing. As soon as she raised her head, the hickey sucked onto her neck by Jiang Youwan last night was displayed right before Jiang Youwan’s eyes without any concealment.

    “I’m giving you a suppressant. Otherwise, you’ll… mm.” She stopped talking.

    “A suppressant?”

    Jiang Youwan looked down. Jiang Jinyi’s other hand held a tiny syringe, and she seemed to be studying how to inject it so that it would hurt less.

    Having found a suitable spot, she glanced at Jiang Youwan and comforted her, “It might hurt a little, bear with it, okay?”

    “Mm, alright.”

    Jiang Jinyi carefully inserted the needle into her skin, slowly pushing the suppressant fluid in. As she injected it, she asked, “Does it hurt?”

    Jiang Youwan replied, “A little.”

    She didn’t feel any pain; Jiang Youwan just wanted to see her reaction.

    This was not the first time Jiang Jinyi had injected her with a suppressant. She remembered the last time had been before her amnesia, when she had used her pheromones to seduce her into heat and then, refusing to take responsibility, roughly injected a syringe of suppressant into her.

    As rough as she had been back then, she was just as gentle now.

    “I’ll be even gentler, then.”

    After the suppressant was finished, Jiang Jinyi looked at her, and Jiang Youwan praised her, “Xiao Jin is so good.”

    What was so great about that? Jiang Jinyi didn’t understand, but she secretly enjoyed her praise anyway. Telling Jiang Youwan to quickly wash up and come down for breakfast, she picked up her cat and left.

    After Jiang Jinyi left, Jiang Youwan lazily tossed back the blanket to get up, her nightdress slightly disheveled. Just as she was about to head to the bathroom, the phone on her nightstand rang. She picked it up, glanced at the caller ID, and her brow furrowed. The pleasant mood she had been in vanished instantly, her eyes turning ice-cold as she pressed the answer key.

    “Su Yi.”

    A deep, masculine voice came from the other end of the line, his tone harsh. “Do you have any idea what you’re doing?”

    “Could it be that after staying in the Jiang family for so long, you really think your surname is Jiang? Hm?”

    “For the sake of that Jiang Jinyi, you humiliated the young master of the Liang family to his face and went against Ye Corporation. Do you think Jiang Corporation is still the Jiang Corporation of the past? With our cash flow blocked, Jiang Corporation could collapse at any moment. Do you actually know what you’re doing?”

    “For the sake of that Jiang Jinyi, have you really forgotten what you’re here for? If Jiang Corporation is ruined in your hands, you—”

    “If Jiang Corporation is ruined in my hands, wouldn’t that be exactly what Father wants? Su Yi, why are you so worked up over Jiang Corporation running into trouble?” Jiang Youwan cut him off, throwing the question back at him.

    Su Yi was momentarily choked by her words before letting out a cold sneer. “You still have the face to ask? Jiang Youwan, why did you have someone save Jiang Jinyi? You protect her at every turn, leaving me with no chance to kill her. If Father knew you were defending the enemy’s daughter like this, wouldn’t he be angry enough to drop dead?”

    The corner of Jiang Youwan’s mouth curved into a smirk—a cold, exceptionally sinister smirk. “So, that accident really was orchestrated by you?”

    “Let me tell you, I am your brother. Whatever I do naturally has my reasons. Jiang Jinyi should have died in the first place. She is a threat that must be eliminated!”

    Perhaps because he was shouting too loudly, someone on his end of the phone was awakened. Immediately after, a woman’s terrified scream rang out: “Who are you?! Help!!!”

    Who are you?

    Jiang Youwan frowned. Su Yi hurriedly mumbled something and hung up the phone. After sitting in silence for a brief moment, Jiang Youwan dialed another number.

    “Find out where Su Yi went last night, and who he was with.”

    “Understood, President Jiang.”


    Having moved all her things back to Luo City, Jiang Jinyi was now planning to open a large new art gallery there. First, she needed to secure a location. Jiang Youwan had recommended several excellent spots, and Jiang Jinyi had originally planned to look at them today. However, remembering that Jiang Youwan was currently in her heat and might need her for something, she decided to stay in.

    Sitting on the sofa scrolling through her phone, she casually clicked into Weibo. Several hot searches featured Ye Xian’s name.

    #Ye Xian Juggling Multiple Partners#

    #Ye Xian Playing with Feelings#

    #Ye Xian’s Exes#

    And so on—many extremely glaring headlines.

    Jiang Jinyi was a bit surprised. She randomly clicked in to take a look and found that several of Ye Xian’s ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends had come out to post long essays to diss her, complete with photos—the evidence was irrefutable.

    She hadn’t expected her to be this kind of person.

    While surprised, she also felt a secret delight. Since Ye Xian was such a woman who loved to toy with other people’s feelings, Jiang Youwan would definitely not enter a marriage alliance with her, and she wouldn’t have the face to go to Jiang Youwan again, right?

    Hmph.

    Jiang Jinyi curved her lips in delight, her dimples almost showing. She didn’t even understand why she was so happy.

    Her mood had become exceptionally good.

    Just as she was curled up in the living room happily scrolling through Ye Xian’s dirt, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Jiang Jinyi glanced over and saw Jiang Youwan slowly walking down. A servant had heated up the breakfast and called out to invite her to eat.

    Instead of heading to the dining room, Jiang Youwan sat down right next to Jiang Jinyi, asking lazily, “Who is Xiao Jin chatting with?”

    Jiang Jinyi replied, “I’m not chatting with anyone. I’m looking at Weibo.” She held out her phone for Jiang Youwan to see.

    Jiang Youwan’s eyes lingered on the screen for a few seconds before her gaze drifted to Jiang Jinyi’s pink, tender lips. “Oh~ the bad woman has been exposed.”

    Jiang Jinyi looked at her and said seriously, “A bad woman like this can’t be married and brought home to be a wife.”

    Jiang Youwan blinked, as though she had not heard correctly. “To be what?”

    Jiang Jinyi repeated, “Wife!”

    After a brief silence, Jiang Youwan let out a soft laugh. Savoring the word, she slowly murmured, “Of course she can’t be my wife. Sister has never thought about it either, so rest assured, Xiao Jin.”

    “If Sister really looks for a wife, she would have to find someone as obedient as Xiao Jin.”

    Jiang Youwan pronounced the word “wife” with particular ambiguity. No, the entire sentence she had spoken was extremely ambiguous.

    Jiang Jinyi’s heart beat slightly faster for some reason. She was thinking that they weren’t biological sisters, and they weren’t even in the same household register, so… they could actually get married.

    Thinking of this, Jiang Jinyi startled herself. She jerked her head away and muttered, “Nonsense!”

    Seeing her face turn red to the naked eye, Jiang Youwan leaned over and clung to her. Just like last night, her body was like a pool of water, sticking to Jiang Jinyi. Resting her chin on her shoulder, she said in a lazy tone, “How is it nonsense? Xiao Jin is naturally very obedient. You listen to Sister; if Sister doesn’t let you date, you don’t date. Aren’t you obedient? I really love such an obedient Xiao Jin…”

    With Jiang Youwan praising her like this, Jiang Jinyi’s heart beat incredibly fast, her face burning. Her body went entirely stiff, and she didn’t dare turn around or push Jiang Youwan away, terrified that Jiang Youwan would discover her abnormal state.

    All morning, neither of them mentioned what happened last night, especially that kiss.

    The atmosphere was subtle and suggestive.


    “President Jiang, according to our investigation, Su Yi checked into a love hotel under the Su family’s name last night. We have verified that the woman who had relations with him was actually Liang Wei’s mistress.”

    “Her name is Xia Ci, and she has been Liang Wei’s underground mistress for many years. It is said that Liang Wei has a very good relationship with her. Even if he has a deal with Su Yi, he wouldn’t send his own woman to Su Yi’s bed, right?”

    Hearing this, Jiang Youwan pursed her lips into a faint smile, but her eyes were filled with disgust. She said, “Su Yi has always had a certain kink: he loves sleeping with other people’s women. The fiercer their temperament is normally, the more he likes it.”

    “To satisfy his own desires, he has been illegally purchasing pheromone disruption agents from abroad. This kind of thing can disrupt an Omega’s or Alpha’s pheromones, and even if it’s not someone they like, they will be forced into a heat or rut. The government has been cracking down hard on this; he is breaking the law severely.”

    “Not only that, we checked his itinerary. If there are no accidents, his target today is Liang Wei’s younger sister, Liang Qi. Our informant on his side says he has been eyeing Liang Qi for a long time and is determined to take her today.”

    “Liang Wei’s sister?” Jiang Youwan asked. “Is Liang Wei close with his sister?”

    “The Liang family only has two girls, and Liang Qi is the youngest sister. Liang Wei dotes on her the most. Since he knows what kind of character Su Yi is, he will definitely fly into a rage.”

    Jiang Youwan fell silent for a moment. “Since that’s the case, you should notify Liang Wei.”

    The secretary understood Jiang Youwan’s meaning and nodded.

    Just as the secretary was about to leave, the office door was violently pushed open from the outside without a knock. Ye Xian rushed in frantically, like an out-of-control madwoman. The secretary quickly stopped her. “Miss Ye, you—”

    “Don’t touch me!” Ye Xian violently threw her off and rushed to Jiang Youwan’s desk. Supporting her hands on the table, she looked at Jiang Youwan with anger and grief.

    “Jiang-jiejie, was it you?! How could you do this to me?!”

    In stark contrast to Ye Xian’s frantic hysterics, Jiang Youwan appeared exceptionally detached. Not a single ripple of emotion showed in her eyes as she spoke. “Do what to you?”

    “Are these not things that Miss Ye did yourself?” Jiang Youwan mocked.

    “You—” Ye Xian’s eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth. “Yes, I did those things! I juggled multiple partners, but that was only because I hadn’t met you yet, Jiang-jiejie! Don’t you know? I never truly loved any of those people. I like you—I really, truly like you! Our Ye family genuinely wants to form a marriage alliance with you. What you did yesterday made my father furious, but I can go back and persuade him! The Ye family can still cooperate with Jiang Corporation!”

    Jiang Youwan frowned. “Why is President Ye angry?”

    Ye Xian said righteously, “Because Jiang Jinyi hit me, of course! And you didn’t even help me vent my anger. He dotes on his daughter!”

    “If you go and talk to him properly, he will definitely give you face!”

    Jiang Youwan’s expression did not change. She leaned back in her chair, looking up at her with incredibly sharp eyes, her tone carrying an icy accusation. “Do you have any idea how deeply your words hurt Xiao Jin?”

    Ye Xian froze.

    Jiang Youwan said with a troubled sigh, “Xiao Jin cried so sadly because of your nonsense, and she almost went to date someone else. Tell me, wouldn’t I feel distressed for my sister?”

    Ache for her sister…?

    She still treated Jiang Jinyi as a sister? Jiang Jinyi treats her like this, and she actually still feels distressed for her?

    Ye Xian grew frantic. “Jiang Jinyi simply doesn’t deserve to be your sister! Jiang-jiejie, she treats you like that, why do you still feel bad for her? I treat you so well, but you don’t see it at all!”

    Jiang Youwan ignored her entirely, asking instead, “If Jiang Ningshu were still alive, would you dare speak to her like that?”

    “Of course you wouldn’t, right?”

    Ye Xian blanked out for a moment, and thinking about it, she subconsciously said, “I wouldn’t…” She wouldn’t dare, she really wouldn’t. Jiang Ningshu was famously protective of Jiang Jinyi. Previously, after Jiang Jinyi had been scolded by a wealthy miss of some company who didn’t know the height of heaven and earth, Jiang Ningshu heard about it and directly acquired that company, making their entire family work as cleaners under her.

    It was the ultimate humiliation.

    “But things are different now!” Jiang Ningshu was dead!

    “It is indeed different. But my love for Xiao Jin is not a single fraction less than her mother’s.” Jiang Youwan looked at her with contemptuous eyes, and suddenly said viciously, “Do you think I’m easy to bully?”

    Ye Xian was stunned again by Jiang Youwan’s words, belatedly understanding the meaning of her words: she liked Jiang Jinyi.

    She could tolerate everything Jiang Jinyi did to her?

    Her love for Jiang Jinyi was not less than the love of Jiang Jinyi’s biological mother.

    Ye Xian understood, she understood.

    “You like her…?” Jiang Youwan actually liked Jiang Jinyi.

    This time, Jiang Youwan didn’t give her a response. Instead, she called Secretary Lin and asked her to find something to show her.

    The secretary took out a tablet, flipped through it, and then placed it in front of Ye Xian to show her.

    Ye Xian looked for a few seconds, her pupils suddenly dilating. She wanted to grab the tablet, but Secretary Lin took it back first.

    Jiang Youwan actually had even darker scandals of her and her father in her hands.

    If these things were released, she would be completely finished in the entertainment industry, and her father’s reputation would also become thoroughly foul.

    Ye Xian’s legs went soft and she collapsed onto the ground, panicking, completely panicking.

    She knew Jiang Youwan was a ruthless woman, but she hadn’t expected her to like Jiang Jinyi so much, and to be so protective that just because Jiang Jinyi cried a little yesterday because of her, she made such a big scene.

    “Jiang-jiejie, Jiang-jiejie…” Ye Xian crawled toward Jiang Youwan’s feet, trembling. She wrapped her arms around Jiang Youwan’s calf. The thin stiletto heel of her shoe poked into her own flesh, hurting her intensely, but she didn’t dare say anything. She only held tighter, looking up pitifully at Jiang Youwan. “Jiang-jiejie, I was wrong…”

    Jiang Youwan sat lazily in her chair, looking down at her. Her eyes were deep and bottomless, her voice freezing. “Wrong?”

    “I was wrong, I was wrong…”

    “When I go back, I will definitely talk to my father properly and meet all of Jiang Corporation’s conditions. Please, please don’t do this…”


    In the afternoon, Jiang Jinyi met up with Ji Xiaoqin to look at retail spaces with her. She remembered Jiang Youwan’s words, intentionally keeping a good distance from Ji Xiaoqin.

    For example, things like wiping her hands, wiping her face, tying her hair, and feeding her—she would no longer let Ji Xiaoqin do them for her. She was no longer like before, where they would accidentally become overly intimate.

    Ji Xiaoqin was someone with a girlfriend now, after all; if she continued to let her do these things, Wen Ye would probably be jealous if she found out.

    Not only would Wen Ye be jealous; Jiang Jinyi imagined if Jiang Youwan saw it, she…

    Her heart suddenly went tingly for a moment, and she wondered if Jiang Youwan would also be jealous?

    The two of them took a car to the place. Not long after they went in to visit, Xu An suddenly sent her a message, asking what she was doing.

    Jiang Jinyi casually replied with the address and added, “Looking at properties.”

    Xu An didn’t reply again, and Jiang Jinyi didn’t care much. She wasn’t very satisfied with this place, and wanted to leave after looking for a bit. Coming out of the building, she saw Xu An’s car driving over from afar.

    Jiang Jinyi shook her head and sighed, “Why is Xu An so free? She had to eagerly tag along just because I’m looking at a property.”

    Ji Xiaoqin also spotted Xu An. She lowered her head and took a step back.

    Xu An’s car stopped right in front of them. She rolled down the window, took off her sunglasses, and stared straight at Ji Xiaoqin, who was standing behind Jiang Jinyi. “Get in,” she barked. “I’m taking you to see something.”

    Xu An’s voice was incredibly urgent, and her expression was even a bit contorted, as if some major event was about to happen.

    Seeing Ji Xiaoqin cowering, she roared, “Get in right now!”

    Jiang Jinyi frowned. “What’s wrong? Why are you being so fierce?”

    Too impatient to explain, Xu An opened the car door, strode in front of Ji Xiaoqin, grabbed her slender wrist, and violently dragged her into the car.

    Jiang Jinyi grew anxious on the side. “Xu An, why are you like this? She already has a girlfriend. Even if you like her, you can’t do this, right? Are you possessed? At worst, you can wait until they break up to pursue her. No girl will like you if you’re this violent!”

    “Bullshit!” Xu An snapped furiously. “Fucking girlfriend, let me take you to see for yourself!”

    With that, she dragged Jiang Jinyi into the car as well.

    Jiang Jinyi really wanted to run away; sitting in the car of someone whose emotions were not so stable was very unsafe.

    She wanted to call Jiang Youwan…

    The car drove for about half an hour, and Xu An’s car stopped in front of a high-end club. Jiang Jinyi’s eyelid twitched, thinking of something. “Xu An, are you here to catch a cheater?”

    “You actually hit the nail on the head. But it’s not me catching the cheater, it’s me bringing someone else to do it.”

    Jiang Jinyi blinked and turned to look at Ji Xiaoqin beside her. Ji Xiaoqin hadn’t spoken the entire way, mostly keeping her head lowered, and she was doing so now as well.

    She was too timid, but Xu An wasn’t like her. Opening the car door, she dragged Ji Xiaoqin out somewhat roughly, saying, “Come, I’ll show you Wen Ye’s true colors.”

    “And you, Jiang Jinyi, you also come in. Let you see how sickening the private life of the idol you’ve always worshiped is.”

    Jiang Jinyi: “…”

    “Xu An…” Ji Xiaoqin looked up, her eyes swimming with tears.

    Xu An’s heart shook, but she didn’t soften.

    Three women, one Alpha and two Omegas, entered this high-end club. Jiang Jinyi’s mood was extremely complicated. On one hand, it was her first time catching a cheater, so she was a bit excited. On the other hand, Wen Ye was her idol; if Wen Ye was really that kind of person, how should she face her? More importantly, Ji Xiaoqin would be extremely sad.

    Xu An led them to a room. In one hand, she held a master key card she had obtained from who knew where, while her other hand tightly gripped Ji Xiaoqin’s wrist, as if terrified she would flee.

    With a beep, the door lock was opened by the master card. Gathering her courage, Xu An pushed the door open and dragged Ji Xiaoqin, rushing into the room.

    The air was thick with very heavy Alpha pheromones. Ji Xiaoqin sniffed. Her originally dull eyes brightened slightly, and she wanted to pull Xu An back. “This isn’t Wen Ye’s pheromones…”

    How could Xu An listen? Her mind was entirely filled with the scene of Wen Ye flirting and cuddling with another woman back then.

    This place’s soundproofing was too good; before opening the door, not a single sound could be heard, but now that the door was open, the sound of a woman struggling and calling for help became exceptionally clear: “Don’t come over, don’t come over! Scram, scram!!”

    “Fuck, Wen Ye really is a beast!!!!” Xu An was furious. Turning the corner and seeing the scene in front of her, she instantly fell silent.

    The group of three all stood frozen in place. How was this catching Wen Ye cheating? This, this, this was clearly…

    A male Alpha had one hand choking the neck of a young, beautiful female Omega, while his other hand held a small bottle of liquid, not knowing what it was.

    The male Alpha stared in astonishment at the three who had ruined his plans. These two he didn’t know; the only one he recognized was…

    He was shocked: “Jiang Jinyi?!”

    The Omega being choked by him saw them as if they were her saviors. Tears streaming down her face, she called out to them for help, “Save me, quick, save me…”

    This was clearly an attempted assault crime scene!!

    “Fuck, motherfucker, you beast!” Xu An couldn’t bear to watch, rolling up her sleeves to go up and fight. Su Yi narrowed his eyes. “What do you think you’re doing?!”

    “Quick, call for help!” Xu An barked over her shoulder to Jiang Jinyi. Jiang Jinyi nodded, taking out her phone to call the police.

    Xu An was an Alpha; although her height and strength were somewhat inferior to the Alpha in front of her, her righteous heart drove her to clench her fist and deliver a punch straight to Su Yi’s face.

    “Fuck!”

    Before Su Yi could react, she pinned his arm, kicked him in the lower abdomen, and threw him to the floor.

    “Ah!! Fuck!”

    Unprepared, Su Yi fell to the ground. The glass bottle in his hand shattered on the floor, instantly emitting a very strange smell. The odor lasted for only a second or two before quickly dissipating.

    Xu An’s pupils contracted in horror. “That’s a pheromone disruption agent!”

    “Get out first, quickly! Otherwise, your pheromones will be disrupted!” If this man releases inducing pheromones right now, anyone will be enticed by him, and then become a toy he can manipulate at will!

    A pheromone… disruption agent? Jiang Jinyi froze for a moment, wanting to pull the coerced woman to run outside, but the woman looked past her and saw the person standing behind her. Like seeing a savior, her tears burst, and she rushed over.

    “Sister, Sister, save me…”

    “Wen Ye…?” Ji Xiaoqin murmured.

    Several people went out of the room and stood in the corridor. Liang Qi shrank in fear into Wen Ye’s arms, sobbing continuously, while Wen Ye comforted her very gently, telling her not to be afraid.

    Liang Wei arrived close behind, staring blankly at everything in front of him.

    Xu An asked haughtily, “Wen Ye, who is she? Aren’t you going to explain what’s going on?”

    Wen Ye ignored Xu An, but met Ji Xiaoqin’s gaze instead.

    Obviously, Ji Xiaoqin was about to cry, her tears swirling in her eyes, holding them back.

    “Wen-jiejie, who… is she?”

    Wen Ye sighed. “Xiao Qin, does it matter who she is? Given our relationship, you have no right to meddle in my business. If you must ask, why are you appearing here?”

    “I… have no right?” Ji Xiaoqin choked out. “What exactly is our relationship, Wen-jiejie…?”

    Wen Ye smiled, looking beautiful yet heartless. “What happened that night was just consensual between adults. As for the next few days, it was because I temporarily marked you and had to use pheromones to soothe you, so I stayed close to you.”

    “We have never confirmed a relationship, Xiao Qin. You seem to have overthought things.” As Wen Ye spoke, she didn’t forget to use her hand to soothe the girl in her arms.

    Overthought things…?

    These past days, Xu An had been telling Ji Xiaoqin how scummy Wen Ye was, that Wen Ye was a scumbag. Ji Xiaoqin didn’t want to believe it, nor did she dare contact Wen Ye to ask her. Until just now before Wen Ye appeared, she was still feeling glad that the person in the room wasn’t Wen Ye, and that Xu An had made a mistake.

    She hadn’t expected…

    Was it really that she had overthought things?

    “Damn it, bastard!” Xu An was about to be angered to death by Wen Ye, unable to understand how she could say such trashy words so righteously. If the club’s staff hadn’t restrained her, she really would have beaten her up!

    They fell into chaos, and no one noticed Jiang Jinyi, who was clearly unwell on the side.

    Jiang Jinyi’s cheeks were flushed crimson, her brain throbbing with pain, her breathing rapid. Clutching the back of her neck, she felt an intense pain at the location of her gland, as agonizing as if something was about to burst out of her body. Furrowing her brows, she made a call to Jiang Youwan.

    “Hello? Xiao Jin, how is the viewing going?”

    Just as she was about to speak, a sudden, sharp stab of pain shot through the back of her neck, making her gasp and unable to stand straight. Her vision swam with darkness from the pain, rendering her unable to speak.

    Jiang Youwan heard that something was wrong, her tone becoming frantic. “Xiao Jin, what is wrong? Where are you right now?”

    Jiang Jinyi barely managed to say the name of the high-end club. Hearing it, Jiang Youwan’s heart trembled violently—that was the very location Su Yi was at!

    “Xiao Jin, go to a safe place first, go find someone. Don’t be afraid, Sister is—” Suddenly, a man’s roar came from the other end of the line, and the call was cut off.
