If she needed to vent, let her vent. After all, Mr. Mo was here. No one would dare to touch a single strand of her hair.

Even when his body was covered entirely in blood, Ji Nuan continued stabbing the knife down onto his body with bloodshot eyes.

Outside, the policemen were gradually breaking open each door. Mo Jingshen abruptly stood up and brought Ji Nuan into his embrace in a smooth motion. He pressed her down tightly, forcefully preventing her from charging forward. He then bent down to whisper in her ears, All right, that’s enough!”

Ji Nuan was still glaring with reddened eyes at

the man lying limply on the ground. She gritted her teeth heavily, raising her wrist once more. Right before the police were about to slam open the door, Mo Jingshen snatched the knife from her hand and threw it onto the ground.

As though she had lost her rationality, Ji Nuan struggled madly in his arms, wanting to charge toward that person.

Mo Jingshen held her down: “Nuan Nuan, calm down!”

Ji Nuan paid no heed to him and continued struggling. Mo Jingshen abruptly turned her around, his deep, black eyes meeting her gaze. “Ji Nuan!”

After taking a clear look of Mo Jingshen’s face, Ji Nuan finally froze. She did not continue

struggling and only stared at him with bewildered eyes. Her bright red eyes were fixed on his black ones.

His heavy voice spoke right by her ears, gently coaxing and comforting her agitated emotions. “I’ll make sure they pay the price for their actions. I won’t leave them with a single breath they’re not supposed to have. Right now, you need to calm down and rest. Your wounds have to be attended to by a doctor. Don’t make me worry. Listen to me.”

Ji Nuan stared at him for a long moment before softly leaning into his embrace. Her head fell limply against his chest as she closed her eyes.

“Mrs. Mo!” Seeing that she had fainted, Feng Ling knitted her brows. She was both worried and in heartache.

Mo Jingshen silently wrapped his coat tightly around Ji Nuan and picked her up. He glanced coldly at the blood-soaked, half-dead man on the ground.

“Cooperate with the police’s investigation. Bring

all of the people secretly involved in this underground bar down. Before daylight, I want all of them ruined.” Read more chapter on NovelFull

Feng Ling nodded. Just as the police entered and Mo Jingshen was about to bring Ji Nuan away, she suddenly spoke up, “Mr. Mo, about Miss Su’s cousin…”

Hearing this, Mo Jingshen’s gaze clearly darkened. He said frigidly, “There’s no need for you to interfere with the Su family in America. I have my own plans to deal with the people who can’t learn from their past mistakes.”

Understanding his intentions, Feng Ling nodded.

Since the Su family did not take Mo Jingshen’s warning to heart, regardless of how influential they were, there would be no peace in the days ahead for them.

When the policemen charged in and saw the

bloodied, bespectacled man lying on the ground, they appeared clearly startled. None of them dared to stop Mo Jingshen as he carried a pale, similarly blood-covered Ji Nuan out. The policeman in charge approached in panic and concern. “Mr. Mo, this…”

An underground bar created so much chaos in an entire stretch of street, yet the T City’s police force did not even make an attempt to control it. Did you really think that no one would find out?” Mo Jingshen’s heavy voice left these words behind. The T City’s police force really leaves a lot of questions unanswered!’

The policeman immediately stiffened. “Mr. Mo, don’t worry. We will definitely investigate this bar and everything that happened today thoroughly and give you a satisfactory answer!”

Mo Jingshen carried the unconscious Ji Nuan in his arms; all of the policemen backed off to create

… a path for him to leave.

He stepped out of the underground area. In the bar, the man with the knife-wound scar as well as his underlings were being restrained by the police. Mo Jingshen coldly glanced toward the ‘boss’ of the bar.

You dared to touch my woman, are you unhappy with how long your life span is?” Mo Jingshen’s voice was coated with a layer of ice.

The boss did not dare to speak. When he realized that the woman they had brought in today was actually the great Mo Corporation’s CEO’s wife, he already understood that the years of experience he had in the underworld were useless. Today, he was really done for…

Ji Nuan was brought out of the bar. It was already late at night, and more than ten police cars were surrounding the bar. Even though she was unconscious, she was not at ease. When she

heard the sirens of the police cars, she silently furrowed her brows in his embrace.

Half an hour later, at the hospital.

A group of helpless doctors exchanged glances before turning to the woman curled up tightly on the bed; her head was still stained with blood as she trembled heavily.

The man who had brought her in was currently outside speaking with the police, who had escorted them to the hospital.

This Miss Ji had already been here for more than ten minutes now. They had been instructed to clean her wounds and check if she had any other injuries or difficulties. However, she had refused anyone from touching her.

No matter if it was a doctor or a nurse or a man or a woman, no one could approach her.

Even when a harmless and caring nurse brought her a cup of water hoping to calm her down, the cup was slapped away onto the ground.

They could see her emotions were extremely unstable; she must have suffered from a terrible fright. Her eyes were unfocused, but her trembling body made it clear to them that she was not in a good state.

“Miss R.” The doctor looked at her file and checked for her name. He tried his best to comfort her. ‘You’re safe right now. This is the hospital. We need to check your wounds. The blood on your forehead is already scabbing. If we don’t clean it soon, it might become infected. Please cooperate with us…”

Ji Nuan appeared not to have heard them. Just as the doctor approached, she abruptly bent her legs and hugged her knees close to herself. She then buried her head down and refused to move.

The doctor was about to take the opportunity to tug her over when Ji Nuan suddenly raised her head. Her reddened eyes watched them warily, as though if they dared to touch her, she would bite off their wrists.

Like a little creature that was injured, carefully licking her own wounds and refusing anyone’s approach.

The doctors were helpless. Don’t mention a check-up, right now, no one was able to even touch her.

Although her outerwear was slightly torn apart, the clothes she wore underneath were intact. Her pants and her intimate areas were also untouched. She did not experience any irreversible harm. However, from Ji Nuan’s condition, it was clear that her fright was not that simple.

In her heart, an enormous black hole had been forcefully ripped open. Inside of it, there were countless wounds she was terrified of revealing but was unable to continue concealing.

When Mo Jingshen finished speaking to the police and returned to the room—the moment he pushed open the door—he saw a pale, frightened

Ji Nuan curled up on the bed being surrounded by several doctors and nurses.

When he entered, the doctors and nurses all turned their heads, drawn toward his strong aura. 0

Mo Jingshen was still dressed in the same clothes. Although his shirt was slightly stained by the blood from Ji Nuan’s forehead, he did not appear disheveled at all.

They looked at the cold, handsome, and tall man and noticed his grim and cold expression. All of the doctors and nurses were frightened by his icy gaze. After all, Miss Ji had already been sent in for more than ten minutes, yet none of them had managed to help her clean her wounds.

“S-Sir… Miss Ji refuses to let us touch her…,” one of the doctors said. Her emotions are extremely

unstable. Were worried that if we try to touch her, she will feel more panic and shock… what should we…”

Mo Jingshen glanced at the people surrounding Ji Nuan. His thin lips pursed coldly, and his long legs stretched forward, taking big steps forward.

When he approached, Ji Nuan remained curled up. She did not even raise her head.

He had never seen Ji Nuan appear this way.

The Ji Nuan he knew was cheerful, radiant, and beautiful. Although her character changed slightly several months ago, she remained the same person he knew; she had become more rational and ambitious but remained confident, radiant, and beautiful.

He had never seen her face as pale as a sheet of paper, and her gaze so frightened as though all of her defenses were up against the world.

She was curled up; her body was trembling uncontrollably. She did not dare to meet anyone’s gaze while she placed her hand right next to her lips as she bit on her fingers. It was as though she had suffered a fright her heart could not handle, and it was disturbing her rationality.

Mo Jingshen bent down, carrying her up from the corner of the wall she was shrunk against. He held her back, warmly and softly saying, ‘You’re covered in wounds. You need to see the doctor. Be obedient. After taking care of your wounds, well go straight home”

When she heard Mo Jingshen’s voice, Ji Nuan slowly raised her head. Her frightened expression could not be hidden. Seeing that it was Mo Jingshen, she did not refuse his touch, but her eyes remained fully guarded.

The doctor saw that she was finally cooperative and wanted to take the opportunity while she was

being held by this man to clean her wound with a cotton ball soaked with alcohol.

However, before he could even touch her, he heard the woman’s low, cold voice: “Don’t touch me!”

The doctor: “…”

As expected, aside from this man, she really refused anyone from touching her.

This must be because she had suffered a severe fright and because she trusted and depended on this man heavily, making him the only special one.

When he saw that Ji Nuan was really fearful of other peoples touch, he gently patted her head, asking softly, “Anywhere on your body hurting?”

Ji Nuan shook her head.

“Does your head hurt?” he asked softly.

She kept shaking her head, but when his hand

touched her wound, she knitted her brows from the pain.

Mo Jingshen did not say more. He used his gaze to indicate for the doctor to place the wound-cleaning tools on the shelf next to him. He then carefully wiped the traces of blood off of Ji Nuan’s forehead and face before wiping the surroundings of her wound. When he saw that the wound was not deep and it was only a surface wound that did not require stitches—caused by colliding against the pebble-wall—he brought over the alcohol-soaked cotton balls to continue cleaning her wound.

Although the wound was not deep, the affected area was not small. The pain from the alcohol caused Ji Nuan to shudder. However, when Mo Jingshen lowered his eyes in concern, she bit her lip silently and tolerated the pain. She did not move.

“Don’t bite yourself!” Mo Jingshen brought over a clean piece of gauze, folding it thickly. He placed it by her lip and, when she bit into it, he

continued disinfecting her wounds.

Ji Nuan really did not make the slightest noise from the pain; only her gradually paling face revealed how much pain she was in.

Finally, Mo Jingshen pasted the gauze over her wound and gently held her blood and sweat-stained hair. He used a hair tie borrowed from a female doctor to tie her hair up and asked for an ice pack to perform the cold compress on her swollen cheek.

When he was done, Ji Nuan leaned in his embrace silently. She still refused anyone from touching her, preventing any tests from being done. After repeatedly asking if she was uncomfortable and confirming that she had no other wounds, Mo Jingshen brought her out of the hospital.

When they returned to the condo, Ji Nuan quickly fell asleep. However, she kept experiencing nightmares and woke up from fear every few minutes. Even though Mo Jingshen was holding her, she continued startling awake. Every time she opened her eyes, she would stare at the light in the room for a long while, as though confirming her location. When she gradually confirmed that she was safe and her heart was at ease, she would close her eyes before startling awake once more in several minutes.

This continued until it was early morning when she finally fell into a deeper sleep. However, she remained deep in her nightmares; both her hands were tightly gripping Mo Jingshen’s sleeves, as though terrified that he would leave and abandon her.

Early in the morning, it was extremely silent.

Mo Jingshen’s phone vibrated against the bedside

table. He glanced at Ji Nuan who had finally fallen asleep for more than half an hour and reached over to pick it up. After scanning the screen, he answered.

The other party was clearly startled that he had answered. After calling for so many times, he actually answered.

“Jingshen.” A girl’s clear and happy voice answered. “I’m really sorry about Xueyi. She is…”

“After the delivery incident, I already warned you; don’t touch Ji Nuan. You treated my words like wind past your ears?” The man’s voice revealed the frost in his heart, and the temperature in the room appeared to be forced down by his cold demeanor.

The woman on the other end was about to speak up when she heard his cold voice once more. “Regardless of whether you are the Su family’s person, since you’ve given up on the last

tolerance I have for you, after today, you’ll understand the consequences of provoking me!’

The other party did not have the time to reply before the call was coldly hung up.

Mo Jingshen tossed his phone onto the table. He turned back to see that Ji Nuan had begun furrowing her brows once more. She gripped his sleeves tightly in unease, as though she was being chased by a frightening person in her dreams and had no escape. Her entire body tightly shrunk against him.

The man avoided her wound and gently caressed her forehead. After several minutes, Ji Nuan’s body finally relaxed. She pressed her face against his chest, and her brows gradually relaxed.

It was normal for her to feel uneasy from the fright she had suffered in the underground bar tonight. However, from her appearance, the stimulation she had experienced did not appear

as simple as that.

When she vented by stabbing that man in the underground room, her bloodshot eyes seemed to be seeing something else. Her madness during then was not purely venting, and that hatred and fear could not be simple.
