Jiang Yuxin lay on the ground in pain, her scarlet eyes filled with hatred as she looked at him. She angrily said, "I'll listen to you, but I want to know who you are?"
If she knew who this man was, she could destroy them all.
She was lying here in unbearable pain because of this man.
All because of him!
Jiang Nuan said she was already a discarded pawn, but she refused to believe it.
She didn't believe this man would abandon her?
After all, she had helped them with many things before.
"Hmph! You are not qualified to know who I am?" the man's hoarse voice was filled with rage.
He looked down at Jiang Yuxin, reminding her, "You should hate Jiang Nuan, because of her, you became like this, and because of her, your life was ruined. I recorded it when you were humiliated, so as long as you behave, you'll be fine."
Jiang Yuxin was stunned. She heard nothing but the word "recorded."
"You... recorded it?" Jiang Yuxin's voice was filled with despair.
The man didn't notice, only looking down at her and saying, "Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan also saw it." He wanted Jiang Yuxin to hate Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen.
"Ah..." Jiang Yuxin lay on the ground powerlessly.
Her eyes looked into the distance with despair, her lifeless gaze striking fear into people's hearts.
She clearly had a bright future, but for Mu Jiuchen, she had turned herself into this dreadful state.
Who was wrong in the end?
"Heh heh..." she slowly stood up, lost and bewildered, and asked, "You asked me to release the virus in the hotel, to bribe Manager Zhu of Lu Corporation, and to destroy Jiang Nuan, as well as many other things. If you let me go, aren't you afraid I'll expose all this?"
As the saying goes: if you're going to die, you might as well take someone down with you.
If she, Jiang Yuxin, was to die, she would drag this man down with her!
"Heh heh, if you expose it, you'll be the one to die," the man said without fear. He only wanted to turn Jiang Yuxin into a sharp blade that could end Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen's lives at any moment.
"Hahaha..." Jiang Yuxin burst into hysterical laughter.
Her laughter abruptly stopped, and she roared at the man, "Bastard, don't people have any bottom line? I helped you before just to get Mu Jiuchen. You promised that Mu Jiuchen would be mine, but what happened in the end? I was insulted, and why is Jiang Nuan still alive and well?"
"Tell me? Why is that?" Jiang Yuxin roared, heartbroken.
The man in the black robe watched her indifferently. Jiang Nuan was too strong; he was surprised she could escape yesterday.
Even potent medicine had no effect on her.
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen had always been formidable enemies.
"One day, he will die," the man said slowly.
The confidence in his heart had long been shattered.
Yet, he still clung to a sliver of hope that he could indeed kill Mu Jiuchen and his wife and take Mu Jiuchen's place.
As the man in the black robe finished speaking, a sound suddenly came from the doorway. He turned and frowned. He had explicitly forbidden anyone from entering. Who could it be?
With the sound of hurried, disordered footsteps, the man in the black robe was momentarily startled. Everywhere his gaze fell, he saw heavily armed SWAT officers, guns in hand, crouching by the door, their muzzles pointed at him.
Beneath his sunglasses, the man's eyes were filled with terror and disbelief.
How could this happen?
Jiang Yuxin also saw the scene outside. Her eyes widened, filled with nothing but despair and regret.
Regret for ruining herself for an unrequited love.
Regret for overestimating herself, thinking she was nobler and more outstanding than Jiang Nuan, and that without Jiang Nuan, Mu Jiuchen would pay more attention to her.
At this moment, she finally understood, she had been destroyed by her own self-admiration.
And at the banquet, she had only just learned that Jiang Nuan was the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
While she was suffering, the Mu Jiuchen she adored hadn't even glanced at her, precisely because he didn't love her, and she was invisible in his eyes. No matter what she did, his eyes were only on Jiang Nuan.
"Heh heh..." Jiang Yuxin sank to the ground in despair.
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen slowly appeared at the doorway.
Seeing Mu Jiuchen, Jiang Yuxin quickly averted her gaze, unable to look at the god-like man, which made her feel inferior.
The man's eyes were filled with shock, "You...?"
Jiang Nuan looked at him, listening to his astonished voice.
She smiled and said, "Are you satisfied with today's bait-and-switch?"
"Jiang Nuan, you..."
Jiang Nuan interrupted him, "Not catching you yesterday doesn't mean I can never catch you. Mu Yichen, it's time to take off your mask. You have failed."
"Ah!" Mu Yichen looked at Jiang Nuan's captivating face beneath his sunglasses in utter terror. She was as delicate and beautiful as a flower, yet also a rose with thorns, capable of drawing blood with the slightest touch.
After returning home, Jiang Nuan hadn't given up. She had sent people to monitor this building.
Jiang Yuxin had never left.
And now was the perfect time to let Jiang Yuxin attract animosity. If it were Mu Yichen, he would definitely not miss such an opportunity. She immediately called Number One and ordered him to monitor Jiang Yuxin.
This led to the current situation of catching the rabbit in the urn.
Jiang Nuan saw Jiang Yuxin within, living a life worse than death. As a woman, she couldn't even muster any sympathy.
Jiang Yuxin had brought this upon herself; she wouldn't empathize with her plight.
Jiang Nuan looked at Number One behind her and said, "You can make your move. This time, I will escort them personally."
Number One nodded slightly and waved his hand. The armed police quickly entered and subdued the two.
"Let go, let go of me." The man struggled fiercely.
Mu Jiuchen stepped forward, pulled off the hood from his head, removed his mask and sunglasses. A set of deep, sculpted features fell upon everyone's sight.
A hint of mockery flickered in Mu Jiuchen's profound gaze, "I knew it was you long ago? It really is you!"
Mu Yichen glared at Mu Jiuchen with hatred, "Mu Jiuchen, it's all because of you."
Mu Yichen hadn't expected to be caught so quickly, and moreover, it was by the Mu Jiuchen he hated most, who had revealed his mysterious identity.
Jiang Yuxin only realized now that Mu Yichen had been playing two roles in front of her all along.
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Mu Jiuchen clicked his tongue several times, his smile distinguished and charming.
"My failure is because of me? Because of me what? Did I steal your family's industry, or am I trying to take your life? Do you hate me this much?"
"Back then, your father himself was involved in embezzlement and bribery. Even if I wanted to save your father, do you think it would have been possible? You're not ignorant of this principle; you just refuse to understand it."
"Because I didn't intervene to save your father back then, you've held a grudge? For years, you've been hiding in the shadows, constantly plotting against me, do you think I wouldn't know?"
Mu Jiuchen's words were like pearls, while Mu Yichen felt a chill run down his spine. Was the reason for hating someone so simple sometimes?
Yes, his father was a politician back then, and corruption and bribery were capital offenses that no one could change. But Mu Jiuchen was different. If he had pulled some strings, he could have saved his father.
But he didn't. He only orchestrated a car accident to save his father.
"Heh heh..." Mu Yichen burst into wild laughter, "Mu Jiuchen, do you think you've caught me just like this?"
