After the man took Jiang Yutong away, she was locked in a dark, sunless basement.
Only a single dim, yellow light hung from the ceiling.
Splash.
A basin of water was poured over Jiang Yutong's head.
Jiang Yutong's drunkenness instantly vanished.
She looked at them, her eyebrows tightly furrowed. Who are you...
Who are we? A fierce and malicious-looking man smiled wickedly. We are here to take your life, of course.
Look at this face, this figure. Not bad at all. Brothers, we can have a good time today.
Little sister, don't be nervous. Before killing you, I will make sure you have a good time and let you experience the ultimate bliss of this world...
The men closed in on Jiang Yutong.
Meanwhile.
Jiang Qing immediately informed Su Hua of the news that Jiang Yutong had been captured.
Alright, I understand, Su Hua nodded.
Her gaze fell on Lin Xuan, who was sitting at the desk, frantically typing away at the computer.
She absolutely could not let Xuan get involved in this matter.
At this moment.
Lin Xuan's phone suddenly rang.
Lin Xuan glanced at the number on the screen.
It was Wang Ba calling.
He hadn't saved Wang Ba's contact, so it showed up as an unknown number.
Lin Xuan was just about to answer when Su Hua suddenly sat on his lap.
Su Hua's eyes landed on Lin Xuan's phone.
She raised an eyebrow and asked, Who is calling you?
Lin Xuan's gaze shifted evasively. It's just an unknown number, Hua. Don't overthink it.
Is that so? Su Hua chuckled softly. Then answer it, Xuan. I want to know exactly who is trying to look for Xuan.
Lin Xuan's heart jumped into his throat with tension.
He absolutely could not answer this call in front of Hua.
If Wang Ba accidentally revealed something about the Golden Dragon Gang over the phone, Hua would find out that he was the gang leader, and he would be doomed.
However.
If Hua had already asked him to answer and he still refused, she might mistakenly think that another woman was calling him.
He needed to distract Hua right now.
Lin Xuan's mind raced.
The best way to distract Hua was...
Going all in, Lin Xuan grabbed the back of Su Hua's head with his large hand.
And crashed his lips onto her red ones.
A flash of triumph crossed Su Hua's eyes.
Xuan... fell for it.
Su Hua closed her eyes.
While kissing Su Hua, Lin Xuan stealthily hung up the phone.
Wang Ba frowned.
The boss actually hung up the phone.
Forget it.
The boss was probably still busy. He could call him back later.
The breathing of the two grew heavier.
A crimson flush crept up Su Hua's cheeks, and her beautiful eyes were filled with lust.
Lin Xuan stopped just in time.
Su Hua pursed her lips.
It wasn't enough yet...
As luck would have it, Wang Ba's call came through again.
Lin Xuan: !!!!
Damn it.
Again!
Is there no end to this?
Lin Xuan looked nervously at Su Hua, only to see her looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
Xuan, this call looks like the same one from before. They keep calling you back-to-back. Shouldn't Xuan answer it? You wouldn't want to miss anything important.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath.
It seemed he had to bring out the big guns. He needed to make sure Hua had no mind left to care about the phone call.
Lin Xuan lightly bit Su Hua's lip. We are kissing, yet Hua is still distracted thinking about the phone. Hua is so inattentive; it seems I'm not working hard enough.
Right after saying this, Lin Xuan froze.
These words... Hua used to say them to him all the time. Now that they were coming out of his mouth, he felt a bizarre sense of role reversal...
An inexplicable sense of excitement rose in Su Hua's heart.
These words Xuan said... she felt pretty good about them.
She just loved this domineering look of Xuan.
Then how is Xuan going to punish me? Su Hua wrapped her soft arms around Lin Xuan's neck, her beautiful eyes gleaming with excitement.
Naturally, I will punish Hua in bed.
Lin Xuan scooped Su Hua up into his arms and walked toward the bed.
-- In the dark room --
By the time Su Hua was lying beside Lin Xuan with a flushed face, Lin Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now Hua probably wouldn't bother with the phone call anymore.
Lin Xuan glanced at the woman in his arms.
Su Hua was sleeping soundly.
Feeling that Su Hua wouldn't be woken up by him, he prepared to get up and call Wang Ba to see what was going on.
He had just lifted the blanket.
When Su Hua opened her eyes. Xuan, are you going somewhere?
Lin Xuan said evasively, Nowhere, I just want to go to the bathroom.
Okay, Su Hua nodded. Then I'll wait in bed for Xuan to come back.
Lin Xuan had no choice but to enter the bathroom.
After a while, he came out. Just as he thought Su Hua had already gone back to sleep, he saw her sitting at the head of the bed, looking at her phone.
It seemed he wouldn't be able to check his phone today.
He just hoped Wang Ba wasn't looking for him for anything urgent.
Seeing Lin Xuan come out of the bathroom, Su Hua put down her phone.
Xuan, what are you standing there for? Hurry and get into bed, Su Hua said.
Okay.
Lin Xuan got into bed.
Su Hua hugged Lin Xuan's waist and closed her eyes.
The corners of her lips curled up.
Now, Xuan wouldn't know about Jiang Yutong being taken away.
Lin Xuan didn't know that besides Wang Ba, the Jiang family had also called him, wanting to ask him about Jiang Yutong's whereabouts.
That night, no matter how the Jiang family tried to contact Jiang Yutong, they couldn't find her. The bar didn't have any surveillance footage either.
They were running around in circles with anxiety.
They were almost going crazy trying to find Jiang Yutong.
As for Jiang Yutong, she was kept locked in the dark room. First, she was threatened with rape, then chased by a tiger, and surrounded by many snakes with their fangs pulled out.
If Jiang Yutong hadn't been mentally resilient, she would have probably been scared out of her mind.
At first, Jiang Yutong was terrified, but later she figured out that these people had no intention of hurting her at all; they just wanted to scare her.
With that realization, Jiang Yutong wasn't afraid in the slightest anymore.
No matter how they tried to scare her, it was useless.
The members of the Night Rose were exhausted. What is going on? How can a woman not be afraid of snakes, mice, cockroaches, and caterpillars?
She sat leisurely on the ground, completely unfazed.
Instead, it was them who were half-dead from exhaustion trying to scare her.
Bringing her here—who knew if it was to torture her or to torture themselves.
Damn it. A Night Rose member couldn't help but curse. If only we could actually lay a hand on her.
If they could actually deal with her physically, they wouldn't have to feel so frustrated.
But their boss had specifically told them not to hurt her.
It was too difficult.
This was simply harder than murder and arson.
Jiang Yutong spoke up, I know you guys don't intend to hurt me. When the time is up, are you going to let me go?
Go, go, go, hurry up and go.
The Night Rose members were out of ideas and had no choice but to let Jiang Yutong leave.
They even got their stories straight in advance.

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.
