making you stop!”Seeing Feng Tan's refusal, she went mad and reached out to grab the steering wheel, scaring Feng Tan badly. He cried out urgently, "Don't move, don't move, I'll stop, I'll stop immed...Chapter Name: 154
The anesthetic coursed through Lin Meng's body, leaving her limp and unable to move. After the accompanying medical staff carried her to the bed and set up an IV drip, they left. Jiang Yancheng remained, looking down at Lin Meng from above. His eyes were cold and cruel, with a hint of murderous intent.
A trace of gray sadness lingered in Lin Meng's eyes. She had been devastated by Jiang Po Lang's death, teetering on the brink of despair. The man, so close to her, had died in her arms, ultimately succumbing beyond saving.
And just like that, he was gone, leaving her!
But what is her value in this world
It was supposed to be superfluous, yet it caused that young life to be sacrificed for her.
Jiang Po Lang said to let her live a good life, but he died. How could she live And how could she face his family!
"Sorry... Sorry..."
Weak and powerless, all I could do was look at Jiang Yichen and mumble "I'm sorry" repeatedly, tears streaming down my face that I couldn't stop.
"Sorry!" Jiang Yancheng let out a cold snort, his face contorted with deep pain. "If apologies were effective, they could have saved Xiao Lang's life! I would gladly say a thousand, even ten thousand apologies to you!"
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." she sobbed, those three words all she could manage.
"Hmph!" Jiang Yichen reached out and rubbed his eyes irritably, wiping away the tears that hadn't had time to fall.
"Blood debt is paid with blood! You wait for me!"
He explicitly warned!
He has ways to make this girl die! He could have the ward doors wide open, he doesn't even need to do it himself. He can get Silver Fang members to come and kill her again! This time, she's lying in bed, nowhere to run! He imagines her covered in blood, lying there, motionless, letting her body grow cold until it loses all temperature. A strange sense of pleasure fills his heart!
"Dad!" A cold and sharp voice rose abruptly, as a man pushed the door open.
"At this point, don't be foolish anymore!"
"What do you mean by being so careless!" Jiang Yichen roared in a low voice, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Jiang Chengfeng who had rushed over.
Jiang Cheng's face no longer held its usual faint smile. He pursed his lips, his eyes and the corners of his mouth taking on a chilling aloofness that kept people at bay.
"Dad, Xiao Lang is willing. Don't make things difficult for Lin Meng!"
"How could I possibly get along with her!" Jiang Yichen was filled with anger and his face turned ashen. His arm shot up, almost losing control and slapping Jiang Chengfeng in the face. "Xiao Feng, this dead man is your brother! If you still consider him your brother, don't say such things!"
"Because I consider him my brother, that's why I said that. No one in this world understands him better than I do!"
Jiang Chengfeng raised an eyebrow, suppressing the pain in his eyes, and with a hint of coldness, he fiercely stabbed at Jiang Yancheng. "Dad, what happened, you can't escape blame either. If you hadn't leaked the news, how would the Silver Wolf Gang have known to trouble Lin Meng How could Lin Meng have been killed Xiao Lang wouldn't have been beaten to death trying to save her!"
"So, you're blaming me for everything!" Jiang Yichen's voice was low, his sadness undeniable. "Or are you saying... that I killed my own son!"
"Dad, I didn't mean it that way!"
"I hear you just mean that!" Jiang Yichen roared, the bloodshot in his eyes even more intense, and a slight tear welled up around his eyes. "Xiaolang is my son, I haven't had time to protect him, would I be willing to see him die! If he wasn't misled by Lin Meng, he wouldn't have gotten into this mess! I told him not to associate with this girl, she's a troublemaker, whoever angers her will suffer, but he just wouldn't listen. And you— "
Jiang Yancheng reached out and jabbed his finger angrily in the air at Jiang Chengfeng. "There's you too, even now that things have come to this, you still keep fixated on protecting this girl! I think you've gone mad! There are plenty of girls better than her in this world. You, for God's sake, shouldn't be looking at her, and I will never let her step into our Jiang family. I tell you, Jiang Chengfeng, this woman, I will absolutely not let her get away with it. She killed my son, so I'll have her pay with her life!"
Jiang Chengfeng quietly clenched his fists, forcing down the pain in his heart. He raised his cold and resolute chin, staring impassively at Jiang Yichen. "Dad, if you don't want to lose another son, then go ahead!"
"You—" Jiang Yichen's voice choked, feeling unbelievable. That face, with a hint of elegance, was almost ashen right now. He glared at Jiang Chengfeng, filled with rage to the point he almost wanted to drag him over and beat him mercilessly.
"Dad, no matter what you have in mind, put it aside. This matter is settled here with Lin Meng. I'm the one who calls the shots. But who killed Xiao Lang and who ordered the killing, I will definitely investigate to the end. Do you want to send people to protect this ward, or should I go ask others for favors and get them to protect this ward"
Jiang Yichen's face contorted violently, twisted with a chilling and ruthless malice.
He stared intently at his eldest son, wishing he could see through him from the inside out. Finally, he let out a cold, harsh laugh.
“Good, very good. You’ve all grown up, you’re all strong-willed, and you’ve all started forgetting your own parents for a woman. Fine, if you can truly forget how your brother died, then by all means, protect this woman! I, Jiang Yichen, will act as if I never gave birth to both of you!”
After finishing his words, he waved his hand and pushed Jiang Chengfeng away with force. Then, he strode out the door.
But the moment the door to the ward closed, Jiang Yancheng, who had just stepped out of the ward, suddenly let fall two lines of tears.
To see one's own hair turn white while sending off those whose hair is still black, this is the most sorrowful thing in time.
Such intense hatred in my heart, yet I'm powerless to vent it. What's more pathetic than this in the world
In the ward, Jiang Chengfeng stood there for a long time, his face twitching rapidly as if caught in an internal struggle. He finally clenched his fist, suppressing the turmoil in his heart. He slightly opened his tightly pressed lips, silently exhaling the stale air from his chest, then slowly closed them again. Glancing at her on the bed, who was weeping silently, almost motionless except for the tears streaming down her face, like a living corpse. He couldn't bring himself to take a step forward.
Of all people in the world, his older brother knows Jiang PoLang best!
He understood his younger brother's affection for Lin Meng, so he withdrew at the time and persuaded his father not to stop Jiang Po Lang and Lin Meng's relationship. He sees things deeply and never superficially, often with foresight. He had already anticipated that Lin Meng and Rong Ling couldn't last, but he didn't expect the process to be a constant upheaval. Now it's even... jeopardized his younger brother's life!
Before Jiang Po Lang died, he asked Ma Hou to inform him and to protect Lin Meng, because both Jiang Po Lang and he understood their father's temperament. Their father was fiercely protective of his family and would undoubtedly torture Lin Meng severely because of Jiang Po Lang's death. Therefore, he rushed over, regardless of the fact that his father, who was already on the brink of collapse, was hurt by him. He also spoke those hurtful words to his father, declaring his intention to protect Lin Meng.
This is Jiang Po Lang's willingly saved girl, the girl he is willing to give his life to protect. He can't bear to see his younger brother's hard work and intentions go to waste. No matter what, even if he has hatred, anger, and pain in his heart, he must also protect this girl well.
Finally, he sat down beside Lin Meng.
Lin Meng glanced at him, mumbled a few "I'm sorry"s, then shut her mouth and silently wept.
He looked at her with heartache, unable to bear seeing the girl in such a state. But— he couldn't bring himself to say anything comforting!
My own brother, he died because of this girl!
He hadn't been blinded by this fondness yet, he couldn't possibly disregard his own younger brother's death just because of it! The death of blood kin weighed heavily on him, making it impossible for him to find peace.
Hatred is the inevitable emotion of this time!
So, he couldn't comfort her!
There's no way!
She cried, and so did he. But his tears flowed inside his heart, so all the bitterness and sourness had nowhere to go, it could only accumulate in his heart, tormenting him, whipping him!
Perhaps, back then, he shouldn't have stayed out of it!
If he had been more decisive and acted sooner, perhaps there would not be this tragedy today!
He, she, father, mother……
All are guilty!
Everything is unavoidable!
Xiao Xiang Academy first release.
The arrival of Rong Ling was bound to be delayed. Rong Sanbo set a trap to kill Lin Meng, there must be many ways to hold back Rong Ling's advance.
Man proposes, God disposes!
Lin Meng didn't die, but Jiang Po Lang did!
But, Lin Meng was shot and Jiang Po Lang risked his life to save her. This process was enough to alert Rong Ling!
He is no fool. He underwent rigorous training in elite units and has been immersed in the cutthroat world of business. When it comes to certain matters, he can sense the slightest hint and deduce quite a bit.
"Why are you leaving!"
In the ward, Jiang Chengfeng was still sitting there. Rong Ling went straight to the point. At this moment, he didn't have the right to ask Jiang Chengfeng to leave.
Lin Meng's eyes were red and swollen from crying, but she still cried nonstop. She moved her lips, but couldn't say a word.
What did your uncle tell you
He pressed her, his sharp eyes almost piercing her!
Transparent tears welled up in her eyes, rolling down her cheeks. She opened her mouth, her voice raspy, like that of an old woman in her seventies or eighties.
"If I were still with you, he would kill my family and me!" she choked out, her eyes welling up as she stared at the pristine white ceiling. Her gaze seemed to pierce through it, finding nothing but emptiness within. "Rong Ling, please let me go. Whether I live or die, just don't concern yourself with me anymore. Please, for my sake, let me go. I'm just a small person, I can't afford to play your games."
Soft whispers, broken moans!
Only when everything is destroyed can one truly understand how to refuse!
Originally, one only learns after being thoroughly hurt, recognizing the chasm that can never be bridged!
Hatred, hatred for Third Uncle, hatred for him, and also hatred for myself, hatred that has caused Jiang Po Lang such harm!
Hating...Unable to let go...Hating...
"How long ago was this!" he asked, his voice cold and distant, like a lone star, clear and silent, holding the chill of ages.
She didn't answer, tears streaming down her face, but she wouldn't look at him. [..tw超多好看小說]
He lowered his face slightly, not sure if it was a wry smile or self-deprecating, the corners of his mouth curving upwards.
"You should have told me sooner. But... you always do this, you never trust me!"
He slipped his hands into his pockets, smiled softly, but it was a smile that gave no hint of warmth.
"Fine, have it your way!"
He turned and walked away!
Actually, it wasn't that she was indispensable!
Why go through so much trouble just to get a woman!
Why keep clinging to things that should have been let go of!
He is Rong Ling, no matter who he leaves behind, he will only live a better life!
I can't be fooled like this anymore, threatened like this, or controlled like this!
Perhaps, at the right time, he should cultivate his own power!
He is Rong Ling, and he will never allow himself to be trampled on forever!
He wouldn't dare to question Rong Sanbo, that would be foolish and unwise!
But, he can't be so foolish as to exhaust himself for the Rong family anymore!
This content is the first release from Xio Xiang Academy.
Although Jiang Yancheng said he didn't acknowledge Jiang Chengfeng as his son, that was definitely just a hotheaded remark. He knew very well how proud he was of his son. His youngest son had already died, and he absolutely couldn't afford to lose his eldest son. So, even though he hated Lin Meng, he still dispatched police officers to protect her.
On the other side, he went berserk and started to deal with the Silver Wolf Gang. He could no longer bear it. This man, with his slightly refined appearance, also hid a bloodthirsty and murderous heart. Peaceful, slow and steady, lurking in wait for prey to take the bait, that was because no one had truly angered him. But Jiang Po Lang died, the Silver Wolf Gang truly angered him, and angered him thoroughly! He pounced on the Silver Wolf Gang like a ferocious tiger, for this, he mobilized all his manpower, material resources and other resources.
Over half a month, a crackdown operation centered in J city has swept through several neighboring provinces. Panic gripped the region; almost everyone felt apprehensive. Even the usually bustling streets were deserted, with few people daring to venture out. Those who did move hurried along, sensing the palpable tension that hung in the air, like a storm about to break.
Finally, on a moonless and windy night, a massive explosion occurred after almost ten years of absence. The huge blast shook nearly half of J city and brought down buildings within a radius of about five or six hundred meters centered around the Silver Nightclub. Afterwards, in the whistling north wind, fire erupted and arrogantly began to devour surrounding buildings. This fire raged for almost three days and three nights before finally being extinguished by fire trucks. When the death toll was counted, the official announcement revealed casualties reaching several thousand, a truly appalling figure.
At the same time, major newspapers extensively reported on the rise and fall of the legendary Silver Wolf Gang, claiming that the reason for the massive explosion was internal strife within the gang. Under increasing pressure from the police, the mysterious leader of the Silver Wolf Gang suspected that there was a police informant inside. Unable to flee abroad under tight surveillance, several high-ranking members of the gang realized they were trapped and made the decision to die together, giving their vast network of followers a chance to survive.
According to information leaked by an undercover police officer embedded within the Silver Wolf gang, almost all of the gang's high-level members were present at the meeting. A few high-ranking individuals who missed the meeting for personal reasons were later arrested by the police.
The tree fell, and the monkeys scattered. The other little punks in the Silver Wolf gang either fled, hid, or burrowed!
But the final number of arrests was still quite astonishing!
This is considered the biggest underworld case this country has cracked in recent years. It's impossible not to mention Jiang Yancheng, the deputy director of the public security bureau of J province, who worked tirelessly on this case. This operation was almost entirely planned by him. Newspapers published photos of Jiang Yancheng, and almost every single one praised him without exception. However, in all the photos, whether at the crime scene or during the commendation ceremony, Jiang Yancheng always had a cold and stern expression, never smiling. The media nicknamed him "the cold-faced detective." But only those in the know could understand why he became so cold!
Having accomplished so much, Jiang Yancheng was promoted to the position of Director and Party Secretary of the Public Security Bureau of Z province. According to relevant sources, this has effectively opened the door for Jiang Yancheng to enter the Ministry of Public Security; it is just a matter of time.
Regardless of the circumstances, Jiang Yancheng left this city filled with legends and accomplishments, amidst envious whispers. It was a place that brought him unparalleled glory but also inflicted the deepest wounds upon him!
The Silver Wolf Pack collapsed, and from then on, there was no more Silver Wolf Pack!
Lin Meng has also been discharged from the hospital, and there is no need to worry about being shot again in the future.
But she has nowhere to go!
This world has abandoned her!
Even she abandoned her!
She began to hate Jiang Po's last words to her, asking her to live well. If she hadn't agreed at the time, maybe when everything had settled down, she could have followed him too. But he seemed to have expected her to do so. At that time, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, yet he was so insistent on getting her promise!
Alang, what am I supposed to do!
She looked again and again at the blank ceiling of the ward, but she couldn't solve it!
Everything is over, everyone has left!
The newspaper published Xiao Yi's obituary, featuring a small photo of him and other high-ranking Silver Wolf members she had seen before. She remembered this man confidently telling her that he would succeed, that he would make the Silver Wolf clean. But overnight, everything changed completely.
She held the newspaper tightly, sobbing uncontrollably, not even knowing what she was crying about, or for whom!
The Silver Wolf Group is gone, Xiao Yi is gone, this time she's truly free! Rong Ling won't come looking for her anymore, and Third Uncle Rong will never threaten her with people's lives again. She's free, she's relieved! But why does her body still feel so heavy
As soon as she thought of Jiang Po-lang's death, she couldn't escape this situation, this feeling of guilt!
She felt guilty all over!
If death cannot atone, then what else can she do!
Wandering, like a lost soul!
Wandering the streets, wandering the alleys, perhaps in the vast crowd, at a sudden glance back, she might suddenly see that sunny boy with a smile, using a voice as pure and clear as mountain spring water, calling her softly—Meng Meng, then walking towards her with a smile.
But she walked until she was exhausted, she still didn't wait for that call, for that person!
She's still covered in sin!
Even the night can't contain her!
Insomnia, she's been suffering from insomnia for a long time!
I couldn't sleep. The moment I closed my eyes, Jiang Po Lang's image appeared. His figure protecting her at the end, his pleading voice begging her to leave, his blood-soaked appearance lying in her arms... Something was relentlessly tugging at her nerves, making it impossible for her to fall asleep. Like that, she stared until dawn broke. Then, when day came, she continued wandering, roaming this city, searching for hope, a hope she didn't even know if she could find in the end!
She was wasting away at a visible rate, her youthful beauty replaced by the pallor and emaciation of a drug addict. Her vacant eyes held a frantic gleam on the verge of collapse. Lost in the crowd, people wouldn't even glance her way, some even avoiding her altogether. She remained oblivious, consumed by the single-minded desire to find that person and be free!
Day after day, night after night, yet I have no idea how many days have passed.
She is tired, tonight, she can't walk!
In the pitch black of night, a warm glow, gently rippling, seemed to beckon people home like a welcoming light! She gazed at it with confusion, moving towards it with ghostly, soft steps.
——Night Colors of the Heavenly Staircase——
The yellowish-green characters, in the night, emanated a faint glow as if summoning wandering souls and ghosts. It reminded one of the legendary City of the Unjustly Dead. She stared at those four characters, watching sober people go in and intoxicated ones come out. Her eyes, which had held little color, suddenly felt glued to them.
Perhaps only those fallen places could shelter her soul, stained with such wickedness!
She couldn't escape the predicament of Jiang Po Lang's death, so she could only fall into despair!
Lost in a sea of alcohol, perhaps only it could offer her the final redemption! Perhaps in this state of drunken oblivion, she might see him again. She would question him, why did he jump out to shield her from the bullet Why did he order her to live well Why didn't he leave with her...
The spicy liquid finally numbed her nerves. After so long, she could finally fall asleep. She giggled softly, but when she woke up, her head felt like it had been run over by a few wheels, exploding with pain.
She lay on the bed, the soft mattress unlike the beds in the small inns she had been staying at these past few days. A strange feeling washed over her. The blanket covering her also smelled of someone else, a masculine scent.
She sat up from the bed, staring blankly at everything in front of her. She covered her head and frowned, taking a moment to register what was happening before she finally checked her clothes. They were still the same as before, thankfully intact!
She is... where!!!
“Awake!” The boy pushed the door open, frowning before launching into a scolding. “What were you doing, running off to such a place Luckily that place still has some class, the people coming and going aren’t so wild. Thankfully you ran into me last night, otherwise, you definitely would have ended up losing yourself to some riffraff or gotten some kind of nasty disease back here. Tell me, what were you doing, messing around in such a place! And what on earth is wrong with you now You’ve literally just turned into skin and bones!”
Gu Jianxi glared at Lin Meng with disapproval, his tone extremely harsh.
She stared blankly at him, took a breath, and lay back on the bed!
He furrowed his handsome sword eyebrows suddenly, his face darkening instantly. He left without a word in the end. When he came back, he was carrying a bowl of steaming hot soy milk.
"Cheers!"
She was watching languidly, but she didn't move!
He lifted her up directly and then forcefully poured it down her throat. She opened her mouth and cooperated only then.
He took the bowl and commanded in a low voice, "Alright, from now on you'll be following me!"
Her ears twitched vigorously, and she reached out to wipe her lips hard, cleaning away the soy milk from the corner of her mouth.
"I won't go with anyone!"
The voice coming from the exit was tinged with a sickly rasp and dryness, but her determination was undeniable.
She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and pretended to leave.
Ku Jianxi reached out and suddenly grabbed her. "What are you doing with that look on your face Where are you going!"
She narrowed her eyes, thinking for a while in a daze. After a long time, she couldn't figure out what she wanted to do, so she habitually replied.
"Go for a walk!"
Goku Ken-hee glared, but she didn't give him a second glance.
She left her room and wandered around aimlessly, like a headless fly without a destination.
Gu Jianxi followed behind her, but she was oblivious. Just like that, they walked down street after street, path after path, crossing intersection after intersection. As night fell and the autumn wind howled, whipping up her clothes and sending a chill through her body, she remained unaware.
Gu Jianxi didn't understand her. He vaguely felt that she was probably sick. She was already thin, and now she was even thinner, with sunken cheeks and a body that seemed to consist only of a skeleton. The clothes that weren't big to begin with hung on her like a large sack, further emphasizing her weakness. It felt as if a strong wind could blow her away.
He couldn't help himself, he took a few steps forward and grabbed her, asking, "Aren't you hungry"
She shook her head, a dazed look on her face.
He cursed under his breath. "What are you thinking! Abandoned by a man! Even if you were abandoned, you shouldn't look like this. Tell me, which man I'll take you to find him and give him a good beating!"
The newspaper published about her being kept, and he knew it!
She narrowed her eyes, tears welling up and streaming down her face. At his flustered, speechless attempts to comfort her, she simply raised her hand, hailed a taxi, and climbed in. Guk-heon naturally hurried after her.
"The night sky is full of stars!"
She gave the name, then closed her eyes.
She wanted to drink, to get drunk, and then not think about anything, to sleep so soundly as if she were dead.
She got off the bus, threw a fifty yuan bill at the driver, and without waiting for him to give her change, she got out of the car like a ghost, following the yellow-green glow into the shop. After ordering two dozen beers, she took one bottle opener in hand and another bottle by the mouth, and began to drink small sips. The spicy flavor seemed to be the sweetest in the world. That spiciness rushed into her chest and then to her brain, making her laugh in a daze. Holding the beer bottle, she felt like she was holding a life-saving pill, laughing drunkenly, gulping it down sip by sip.
Gu Jianxi sat there with narrowed eyes, saying nothing. It was just like yesterday when he had unintentionally discovered her and then chased away the few men around her who had ulterior motives. In the end, he ended up sitting beside her.
This girl, though she currently lacks personal style, with messy clothing and disheveled hair, exuding a strong sense of shabbiness, still has a captivating charm. As she drinks, her wide, goofy smile resembles that of a contented cat, effortlessly tugging at the heartstrings of anyone who sees her.
Finally, she collapsed onto the sofa, giggling softly and drifting in and out of consciousness. He sighed helplessly, repeating last night's actions, lifting her into his arms and carrying her away!
Even if she had fallen to rock bottom, he wouldn't have seen her.
But when he saw her, right there in front of him, he couldn't just ignore her!
What on earth happened to you!
He reached out and unconsciously touched her pale lips. Though they were a bit dry, they still had that softness, the kind that could sink into one's heart. He lowered his eyes, stared at her lips, and finally succumbed to temptation. He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.
A kiss, soft and tender, still moves me deeply!
His eyes suddenly lit up.
If she has nowhere to go, if she can't find a way out, if she can only live like this, then just make do and live with him!
"From now on, join my gang!"
The next day, he said to her like that, and then, actively took her into his circle of friends, not giving her too much time to wander the streets like a lost soul.
He was a fallen soul, drifting between bars, nightclubs, internet cafes, and clubs. The friends he kept were much like him, lost and adrift in their own ways, wandering the gray areas of life.
She was there or not, dragged into their circle by him. Watching them sing, dance, play, and get annoyed, clamoring and bustling around, she sat there, watching coldly, not participating, but just following along. They were both fallen, walking together was easy!
They offered her a cigarette, giggling that it was good stuff, urging her to try it. Before she could reach for it, however, Gu Jianxi snatched it away, crushed it in his hand and threw it on the ground!
"Go go go! Don't give her that junk!"
His face was gloomy. A few girls were stunned for a moment, then laughed and dispersed, leaving Lin Meng far away.
Gu Jianxi sat beside Lin Meng, biting her ear and whispering, "Here, you're not allowed to touch anything except the wine. Those things aren't good for you. If you get addicted to them, they'll ruin you!"
Over there, boys and girls were lighting up cigarettes stuffed with marijuana. They began to smoke, their expressions soon becoming hazy. Then came the excitement - they stripped off their clothes and swayed their thin bodies, men and women alike, coiling around each other like snakes in a chaotic, frenzied embrace. The sounds of puffs, moans, cheers, and clinking glasses merged into a bewildering symphony!
She sat there, watching, clearly wanting to refuse, wanting to escape. But it seemed as if her soul had already departed, while her body remained immobile, sitting there like a puppet, staring at this bog-like pool of depravity. She drifted in thought, wondering if she too would end up like this someday
A girl, seemingly intoxicated, stood bare-chested, swaying her breasts and leaning against Koo Jianxi. He pushed her away without hesitation. The girl persisted for a while, but seeing Koo Jianxi unmoved, she cursed loudly, began pouring herself a drink, and continued in that languid posture, sipping it slowly.
She thought, could this be hell!
Well, why haven't I seen him yet!
"Mumble, your drink!"
In the private room bathed in the twilight hues of the Tianjie Night Market, the girl pushed a cup of wine toward Lin Meng's face, her tone nonchalant.
Lin Meng took it and drank it sip by sip.
Tonight, Gu Jianxi is not here. He was called out by someone, it seems like something happened, but it doesn't hinder his interactions with his friends and girlfriend. In fact, he has been spending time with these people for quite some time now, but besides Gu Jianxi, Lin Meng can't even remember the names of any of them. She only recognizes their faces. Even if she knows them, she can't remember their names.
The alcohol burned quickly through her, with a heat unlike any she'd felt before. She wasn't sure what the girl had mixed in it. She drank, one cup after another, hardly refusing any. She never spoke to these people; their only connection was through the shared act of drinking.
The things in front of her began to blur, she knew this was getting drunk. Her body felt hotter than usual, with an urgent craving for something cold. She stood up and walked towards the bathroom, casually carrying a bottle of wine with her. She needed to keep about a bottle of wine's worth of sobriety, so she could find somewhere to spend the night. Gu Jianxi wouldn't come, no one would carry her away when she was drunk, so she needed to walk herself. Although her nerves were numbed in the process of falling, she couldn't bear the thought of getting into a relationship with a stranger while completely intoxicated! If that were to happen, it would be the biggest irony of her life!
As she walked out, the private room was filled with the murmur of women's voices.
"Hey, just stand there and watch her walk away!"
"If she wants to leave, then let her go."
"But, that medicine…"
“What medicine…” He feigned ignorance, then snorted. “Look at how Gu Jianxi dotes on her, she’s clearly out to have fun, yet he won't let her do this or that, acting like she's some delicate flower. I see right through her, she's just a cheap piece of trash. When she gets hot and bothered later and sleeps with a man, let's see how Gu Jianxi defends her then…”
"Hee hee... I think you're jealous..."
……
There, Lin Meng staggered out of the restroom, her vision blurry, faces around her indistinct. The heat in her body wasn't something a splash of cold water could extinguish. This feeling was both familiar and strange. She shook her head violently and walked out, stumbling, bumping straight into someone.
"What are you doing!"
A gruff voice boomed, "And then he shoved her hard."
She staggered, her heel caught on nothing, and with a thud she landed on the ground. The bottle of wine in her hand clattered to the floor, rolling across the red carpet before coming to a stop. She narrowed her eyes and looked up at the man who had shoved her. His face was partially obscured, but he was tall and imposing!
She shook her head and struggled to her feet, walking ahead with a dazed expression. She stumbled toward a large crowd, hearing voices filled with disdain drifting into her ears: "Drunk...completely drunk...leave her be..."
She narrowed her eyes, and once again raised her gaze. Her head swayed erratically as she tried to focus. And then, vaguely, she seemed to see a face that was familiar. It was cold and expressionless, just like she remembered, staring at her silently without saying a word.
She swayed her head and staggered toward him, her breath slightly quickened, for she had drunk wine that had been drugged. Her thin face was rarely graced with a charming flush.
It seemed as if an arm reached out of thin air, stopping her in her tracks.
"Get out of here!" someone barked, rudely trying to prevent her from approaching the man.
She stretched out her soft, helpless hand and swatted his arm, muttering in displeasure, "Who are you!"
The man's face darkened, he was about to grab Lin Meng and throw her away, but he was pulled back by his brother beside him. He didn't understand and turned to look at his brother. His brother just twitched his mouth and pointed with his eyes in the direction of Rong Ling. The man glanced at Rong Ling, who was looking at the drunk girl with deep eyes. Although his brows were furrowed, seemingly impatient, his tightly pursed lips hadn't issued any orders. He thought for a moment and withdrew his hand. He was only responsible for protecting Rong Ling, but he also had to know how to read his boss's expression!
Thus, Lin Meng managed to stagger towards Rong Ling's face, reaching out a hand and grabbing his arm, barely supporting herself!
"You…" she blinked, her lips, which weren't originally very colorful, had already been dyed red by the aphrodisiac. "Are you Rong Ling... right!"
She swayed slightly, not waiting for his reply, and gently rested her head against his chest.
The moment before, she had been so imposing. But the next, without a word, she started to cry, her tears streaming down her face. As she cried, she accused in a voice that was far from pleasant, dry and hoarse.
"Why didn't you come to save me... My heart hurts so much... I'm dying... Why didn't you come to save me... You all left... I'm the only one left... Why didn't you take me with you... Why leave me behind... Where should I go... I don't know where to go... I'm so tired... It hurts so much... I'm dying... But I can't die... I promised A-Lang... To live well... But how to live... I don't know how to live... It hurts..."
She reached out and grabbed his arm, shoving it against her chest.
"This hurts so much... Will you dig this open for me... Take out my heart... Then it won't hurt anymore... Right... It won't hurt anymore... Please help me... Please help me..."
The coarse palm, brushed over her soft chest again and again. Rong Ling's eyes dimmed slightly.
She was crying, her face flushed red as she leaned against him, whispering softly, just like when he had loved her fiercely over and over again before. His body stiffened, but still, he reached out and pulled his large hand from her small one.
"No one can save you, save yourself!"
He pushed her away with a resolute force and turned to walk away.
She couldn't hold onto him, stumbled, and fell to the ground! In a daze, it seemed like the world was spinning around her.
He maintained the hauteur of a king, leaving with those who bowed to him, striding away proudly and without mercy.
She impatiently tugged at her clothes, narrowed her long eyes, and sat blankly on the crimson carpet with a dazed expression. A man not far away saw her, hurried over in a few steps, suppressed his unspeakable desire, and squatted down concernedly.
"Miss, are you alright!"
She made a soft sound, blinked her eyes, and unintentionally exuded a seductive charm that made his heart skip a beat.
"Help me..." she mumbled, grasping at the newcomer's hand and pulling them towards her chest. "Help me... help me... Open my chest, please! Take out what's inside!"
The man was taken aback, never expecting such good fortune. He'd run into a drunk woman who wanted to go to bed with him; he couldn't believe it was actually happening. Suddenly, excitement surged through him, his breathing quickened, and the fire in his heart became impossible to contain.
"Good...I'll help you...I'll help you..."
Muttering to himself, the man trembled with excitement as he reached for Lin Meng's delicate body, intending to pull her up. However, as soon as his hand touched Lin Meng's waist, he was kicked hard in the leg.
That person's kick was incredibly forceful, sending him flying backwards. When he landed heavily, he vaguely felt like his lumbar vertebrae might be broken. He turned his head in both fear and anger, and saw a cold, grim face that seemed like the embodiment of the Grim Reaper.
"Get out!" The handsome and imposing man uttered a deep growl, his gaze piercing the other with a ferocity that seemed to promise death.
The newcomer shivered in fright, then glanced at the burly men in black suits approaching the man. He swallowed nervously, meekly replied "yes," and trembled as he scrambled away.
Rong Ling glared with eyes full of unexplainable anger. He looked away, then back at the woman who was haphazardly tearing her clothes off, revealing half of her white shoulders, and he felt like punching her.
He crouched down, one hand supporting her waist and the other around her hips, scooping her up. She let out a soft meow-like hum, murmuring in a hoarse voice. At first it was hard to hear, but when he carried her into the private room and put her down, they could understand she was murmuring his name!
At this point, you finally know his name! What just happened then! Did he not turn around, and tonight she let that man take her!
He turned and went out to give a few instructions, then locked the door. Returning to her side, she was blushing furiously, humming with a dazed look in her eyes and reeking of alcohol!
"Look at you, what a sight!"
He reached out with disgust and slapped her little face several times.
She was disoriented, her desire igniting with a burning intensity. She wasn't clear-headed, and despite being slapped several times, she didn't react. Her small hands began to frantically pull at her clothes, rubbing against the slightly cool fabric of the sofa as she lightly twisted her waist and hummed softly.
He saw it, and his heart was filled with rage!
With a thought, he stripped off his clothes, yanked down his pants, and then tore hers off, including her underwear. Without any foreplay, he brutally thrust into her. The force was so rough that even drugged, she cried out in pain, twisting her hips to struggle.
With a thought, he stripped off his clothes, tugged at her pants, and finally ripped them down along with her underwear. Without any foreplay, he plunged into her roughly. The force was so brutal that even drugged, she cried out in pain, twisting her hips to struggle.
He didn't care, gritting his teeth with determination.
She was in excruciating pain, her face contorted in agony. Between gasps, she choked out a plea: "… Rong Ling… save me… it hurts… save me…"
He stopped in his tracks, but thought angrily to himself, if he knows it hurts, why would he run into this mess!
Thinking like this, he even wished he could kill the person below! Just so that whenever he saw her, he wouldn't be compelled to do things involuntarily.
With a fierce determination in his heart, he continued relentlessly, tearing at her with all his might. She screamed and cried, tears and snot flowing together, pitifully heartbreaking to behold. He grabbed the hem of her dress and pulled it upwards, unceremoniously covering her tear-stained face with it, so as not to bother himself with the sight!
The moment her clothes were pulled open, her frail skeleton was exposed. Her skin and bones were visible through the ribs that protruded sharply from her once plump body. She had become so thin, she seemed like nothing more than skin stretched over bone. He frowned, his brows furrowed deeply. Reaching out with a large hand, he squeezed her slender waist, confirming his suspicions - she was much thinner than before, as if he could grasp her entire torso in one hand.
How did you do that!
He pinched her waist irritably, and she whimpered, sobbing softly.
He felt his big hand seem to touch something, it felt a bit rough. This kind of skin texture was off!
He lifted her hand, gently flipping her over slightly. He saw a surgical scar on the right side of her lower back, the incision long, as long as half his finger! His mind flashed, and he immediately thought this was where she had been shot. After the bullet was removed, it was stitched up inside and out. He thought about how her internal wounds probably weren't properly healed yet, and here she was showing off like this. Just from what he could see, she was definitely "drinking too much"!
"You're going to die!"
He growled angrily, his eyes turning cold. His fingers twitched with the desire to press down hard on the wound, but his fingertips were already pressed against the scar. As if possessed by a demon, he softened his grip and just glided them lightly over the edge of the cut, not daring to touch it again. His hips still bucked forcefully against her, but after a while, his body spasmed and went limp.
He was lying on top of her, breathing heavily. Her pale body trembled violently, her abdomen rising and falling so intensely that her ribs were visible. Her chest heaved rapidly as if each rib threatened to burst through her delicate skin. He watched in alarm, hastily pulling her clothes off her head and tossing them aside, undoing her bra so she could breathe easier.
She gaped, breathing in short gasps, like a fish out of water. He looked at her, his heart aching, yet disgusted with himself for feeling this way.
He was tidying up his clothes, about to leave, when she suddenly came after him, her small hands messing around on his chest. Her little face rubbed against his back like dough, and he wanted to curse!
Who was crying and begging him to leave her alone, and now who is this damn bitch clinging to him
"Little goblin!"
He felt a surge of heat run through him at the touch of her small hand, and the desire that had just subsided seemed to rise again.
He took a deep breath, clenched his fist tightly, then let it go. He turned around, ripped the shirt off his back, and threw it on the floor. Then, fiercely, he pushed her back onto the sofa, pinning her down, and aggressively entered her, taking possession of her in every way imaginable!
After several rounds of entanglement, when she finally woke up after the spring medicine wore off.
He looked at her with cold eyes, sitting there motionless for a long time. The temperature in the private room, like the night outside, grew colder, and she muttered as she turned sideways, curling up into a ball against the sofa, her hands and legs both drawn tight. He measured with his hand and realized that even curled up like this, she was only a little taller than his arm. Her slender back curved inward, her spine clear and visible, her two large shoulder blades jutting out from her shoulders like they were about to break through the skin.
...Ling, why don't you come save me... Why don't you come save me... Pain... I'm dying... Why don't you come save me...
In my mind, flashed her drunken pleas, tears streaming down her face!
He reached out, touched his forehead, lowered his eyes, pursed his lips deeply, tightened his jaw, and fell into thought! The light fell on his face, casting a shadow over half of it.
After a while, he got up, found the remote control, and turned the air conditioner temperature up. Then, he started picking up his clothes and putting them on one by one. He had originally planned to help her put on her clothes, but seeing her messy lower body, he changed his mind. He just picked up the clothes and draped them over her.
When she wakes up and sees herself like this, will she dare to come to such a place again!
Then, he pulled open the door and walked out. Before leaving, he instructed someone to guard outside and not allow anyone in. He just waited for the person inside to wake up naturally, and then he had to personally see her leave safely. The subordinate replied, Rong Ling left!
When Lin Meng woke up, she was just as Rong Ling had expected - panicked! The mess of evidence, even without thinking too hard, told her exactly what had happened. She paled with fear, using all her strength but coming up with little to no clues, only a vague memory of encountering Rong Ling! Her alcohol-addled brain wasn't much help either. She pounded her head repeatedly with her hand, but besides remembering Rong Ling and the fiery body she had relentlessly pursued, there was nothing else!
It's Rong Ling!
She's made up her mind!
Then she let out a sigh of relief, but as she looked down at her legs, her face paled uncontrollably. Last night, how did she end up entangled with him! What exactly happened! He was gone, and she had no way to ask him. Holding her clothes in front of her chest, her heart felt empty and hollow, a cold numbness creeping over her.
"When she came back to her senses, she didn't know how long she had been lost in thought, nor did she remember what she had been thinking about just now. She seemed to be on the verge of daydreaming recently! The most urgent thing was not to put on her clothes first."
Gritting her teeth, she got dressed. Going out, she naturally saw the person standing at the door. She moved her lips, wanting to ask something, but remembering the mess on her body, she lost face and couldn't ask. Lowering her head, she dodged the man's gaze as he walked past, clutching her skirt with small hands, feigning calmness and straightening her back before leaving. She didn't notice that the man's eyes were fixed on her from afar, silently and stealthily following her from behind.
Tianjie Night Color is a high-end club, divided into several floors. The bottom three floors are freely accessible to guests. Two floors above are accessible only to members with cards. One floor above that seems to be accessible only to platinum card members. The top floor is the most mysterious, and it is said that only special people can enter. Lin Meng entered the elevator in a daze. As soon as she saw the "7" displayed on the elevator, she was stunned and blinked her eyes in confusion. She didn't think much about it, and she didn't have the energy to think about it.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she hadn't walked far when she was stopped by Gu Jianxi's friends. They bombarded her with questions about where she had gone, saying that Gu Jianxi was going crazy looking for her. Soon after, Gu Jianxi arrived himself, asking the same question. She didn't want to answer, shaking her head. All she wanted now was to find a place and take a good, long bath.
Gu Jianxi's eyes swept over her, his expression suddenly turning grim.
“You really went looking for men!” he hissed, his voice laced with exasperation and disappointment. This suspicion stemmed from complaints from his friends – the girls who had drugged Lin Meng – and also from the scent clinging to Lin Meng: a heavy musk that couldn't be concealed no matter how hard she tried!
Lin Meng Mian stared blankly at Gu Jian Xi, then turned and walked away. Her affairs were none of his concern!
Ku Jianxi pulled her over forcefully, ignoring her resistance, and dragged her upstairs. He pushed her into a private room and slammed the door shut, locking it to prevent anyone from seeing what was happening inside!
"What do you mean! Why would you let others touch you!"
She was silent.
He was furious. "Speak! I'm talking to you! Which man did you find Can he be better than me! Just point him out to me, I want to see how he's stronger than me!"
"I'm leaving!" she stood up. Now, no one could stop her, and she wouldn't listen to anyone's commands!
Gu Jianxi angrily pushed her hard, then aggressively lunged forward and kissed her fiercely.
She was furious, her silver teeth bared in a threatening bite that forced him to let go of her. Raising her hand, she was about to slap him when he caught her arm and hand, stopping her mid-air.
Gu Jianxi laughed, a laugh that was both mocking and angry. "If you want to find a man, why go so far Can't I satisfy you! You wanted me, but you didn't want to be with me. I pitied you and didn't force you. I did everything for your good, protecting you, not letting those messy people have the chance to touch you, nor letting you get involved with those messed up things. But you... when I just went away for a bit, you went looking for another man! Lin Meng, Lin Meng, you really know how to trample on people, truly know how to drive them mad! I discovered that I shouldn't have been merciful towards you; I should have forced myself on you! These days, if it wasn't for me, you could have been gang-raped countless times! Now it's like this, I protected you, and ended up making a wedding dress for someone else!"
He angrily reached out and gripped Lin Meng's jaw. "What are you thinking! What do you really want!"
She reached out and gently grasped his arm, sighing. "Let me go!"
Her gentle tone made him reluctantly let go, and he sat down heavily beside her, his face as dark as water!
She shook her head, trying to brush away the confusion there, but couldn't.
"Thank you!" she said to Gu Jianxi, her voice trembling slightly as she stood up. "Actually, I don't even know what I'm thinking... I... just can't get out..."
No one can take her out of this swamp!
She was trapped, couldn't get out!
She was walking out, when just before the door, Gu Jianxi took a step forward and grabbed her. He didn't speak, but held onto her tightly.
She turned her head to look at him, her heart empty, as if a gust of wind blew through it, hollow and vast, desolate and lonely!
"Actually, I'm not dirty, but you guys don't believe me..."
She was stunned, gave a dazed smile, and her eyes flickered with a broken light. "All those who believed in me are gone…"
She murmured, "They're all gone..."
Gu Jianxi was stunned!
She pulled away his hand, opened the door and walked out. A cold, empty voice echoed faintly in the distance.
"This kind of place doesn't seem like a good fit for me. I feel out of my depth... I... won't be coming back again."
As she walked away, her voice gradually fading, he could no longer hear what she mumbled.
Standing there, he was lost in a mix of disappointment and anger. But amidst those emotions, a thought struck him: perhaps he had made a mistake somewhere, and that's how he missed something important!
This kind of miss, he would have to wait a long time to understand!
But it's too late!
Actually, sometimes opportunities are given, it just depends on whether each person can seize that fleeting opportunity!
—>
Lin Meng walked out of the celestial stairs amidst the night, dazed and confused. He then drifted back into the crowd, still in a daze.
Crowds of people, yet she couldn't find anyone who believed in her. She could smile with the brightness of the sun and say that there was someone who believed in her. He left, it was her who drove him away. So, when she was being questioned, she thought of him even more.
Only when you lose something, can you truly understand its value. This is probably the way of things!
She thought sadly, her eyes gradually becoming blurred!
"Dreamy!"
A sudden call, tinged with a smile, tinged with familiarity, darted into her ears. She nearly jolted, turning abruptly. Sunlight pierced her eyes, and she squinted at the light, seeing him standing in the crowd, still with that smiling face, still with those sparkling eyes.
"Alang..."
She opened her mouth, mumbling, her voice almost choked with emotion.
She walked closer, pushing through the crowd, staring at him blankly.
He stood there, smiling at her, his smile as warm as it always was.
Her vision began to blur, standing before him, she suddenly burst into tears.
"Alan... I miss you so much... Sorry... I miss you so much... You're finally back..."
She smirked through her tears, a smile tinged with sorrow in her eyes. She gazed at him with such intensity, then suddenly slumped to the ground! These days of indulgence had taken their toll; she barely ate properly, subsisting on alcohol alone. Her body was teetering on the brink of collapse. But now, seeing that familiar face, overcome with emotion, she could no longer hold on.
Jiang Chengfeng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly reached out to embrace her. The feeling of her skin was so thin, as expected... just like Rong Ling had said, she was so thin, like a bamboo pole! If this went on, wouldn't this girl torture herself to death!
Jiang Cheng, with a dark expression and having withdrawn his smile, picked her up and walked toward his car. He put her in the car.ood and instructed those two to go outside and guard the door.Li Lanqiu pulled Rong Ling into the house for a while. When they were far enough from the door, she started to cry and gripped Rong Ling's...
