Listening to Nangong Jin's words, An Nuan was truly touched, but she was very clear that she could not let Nangong Jin fall into danger just because of her own emotions.
"Nuan Nuan, don't worry, those people can't hurt me."
As if to ease An Nuan's worry, Nangong Jin said with a light smile, "Even if ten more people came, they wouldn't be my match, so Nuan Nuan, you really don't need to worry."
Hearing Nangong Jin's words, An Nuan's eyes were filled with tears.
She knew very well that Nangong Jin had said so much just to comfort her. He didn't want her to feel guilty.
Soon, those people were dealt with by Nangong Jin.
Shen Shuhui's eyes were filled with terror. She hadn't expected Nangong Jin to actually deal with those people.
"Mr. Nangong, I... I had my reasons for dealing with An Nuan. It was her, she kept causing trouble for my daughter. As a mother, I had to do this for my daughter's happiness."
"Mr. Nangong, please let me go this time, and I promise there won't be a next time."
Shen Shuhui kowtowed and begged for mercy incessantly, completely losing her earlier arrogance.
She truly hadn't expected Nangong Jin's skills to be so good.
Seeing that Nangong Jin was alone and had no one with him, she thought that even if she made a move, Nangong Jin would have no chance to fight back. But now, she realized how ridiculous her thoughts were.
Even more so, she hadn't expected Nangong Jin's skills to be so excellent.
"Mr. Nangong, look, An Nuan wasn't harmed. Can we just let this matter go?" Shen Shuhui shamelessly uttered these words.
Nangong Jin's eyes were filled with killing intent. He sneered. He really couldn't understand how this person in front of him could say such things so calmly.
Had she forgotten what she had just done?
Nangong Jin looked at Shen Shuhui menacingly and said coldly, "Shen Shuhui, the worst thing you could have done was to lay a hand on the person I hold dear. Do you think I would believe your words?"
"Heh, you did this for your daughter. Take a look at what kind of person your daughter is."
"Mr. Nangong, you're wrong about that. My daughter is, after all, Shen Xizhou's fiancée."
"You know Shen Xizhou, right?"
"I think you'd better let me go. If Shen Xizhou finds out about this, your days ahead won't be easy," Shen Shuhui said triumphantly.
She had been so humble and said so much, but Nangong Jin was not only unafraid but even more excessive. She couldn't stand it anymore.
At this moment, she remembered what she was afraid of. As long as she mentioned Shen Xizhou's name, she didn't believe this person would not be afraid.
"Shen Xizhou, is it?"
Shen Shuhui felt a little scared hearing that grim voice. Why did she feel that the person in front of her, upon hearing Shen Xizhou's name, was not afraid but even more enraged?
"Then, you can go back and tell Shen Xizhou that I will find a time to settle the score for what happened today. He better be prepared."
"Oh, and you probably know about your daughter's shameful deeds. But whether Shen Xizhou knows about them is another matter. What do you think will happen to your daughter if Shen Xizhou finds out?"
"Oh, right. You said that the Shen Corporation would face a crisis tomorrow. If Shen Xizhou knew that Xu Ruowei and you caused it, how would you die?"
"Suddenly, I'm looking forward to tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuhui's face turned exceptionally pale. This situation was something she had never anticipated.
Her daughter had told her that there was a man by An Nuan's side, and he was quite capable.
She had always thought her daughter was exaggerating. But now, it seemed her daughter's words were true.
She even regretted why she hadn't left earlier and insisted on staying.
If that person really decided to act, what would she do?
She thought, her daughter's position wasn't stable yet. If she caused more trouble for her daughter, what would happen next?
She was a little scared, and even more uncertain about what to do next.
Shen Shuhui completely collapsed onto the ground, unable to speak clearly.
What scared her even more was that Nangong Jin might actually attack her at this moment, in which case she would surely die.
But just as she was thinking Nangong Jin would attack her, she saw Nangong Jin carrying An Nuan and leaving like a gust of wind, without any pause or hesitation.
At this moment, Shen Shuhui was instantly relieved.
As long as Nangong Jin didn't attack her now, she would still have time to deal with the aftermath.
However, this matter was likely to be quite troublesome.
She was wondering if that person could really resolve this matter.
She had never imagined that things would escalate to this point.
She thought it was a simple matter, but it seemed she had made things increasingly complicated.
An Nuan was carried back by Nangong Jin.
Even when they arrived home and were safe, she said she was fine and that Nangong Jin didn't need to be so nervous, but Nangong Jin didn't listen. He kept staring at An Nuan.
He even insisted that she get checked. She said she was really fine, just a bit tired. But Nangong Jin didn't believe her at all. He insisted that An Nuan get checked, and finally, to appease Nangong Jin's emotions, An Nuan agreed.
When Nangong Jin confirmed that An Nuan was fine, his previously furrowed brow finally relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He held An Nuan's hand and said with a hoarse voice, "An Nuan, do you know? When I found out you were taken away, I went completely crazy with anxiety."
"I couldn't find any clues about you. Later, when I found out you were taken by Shen Shuhui and where you were, I didn't think of anything else. My only thought was to find you."
"Finally, finally I found you."
"Nuan Nuan, you're okay, you're still here, that's great."
At this moment, all the fear in Nangong Jin's heart was healed.
Only by holding her hand could he feel that she was real.
"An Nuan, I know you must have been very scared at the time. It's all my fault, why wasn't I able to protect you properly? Every time, I let you fall into danger."
"Nuan Nuan, I'm sorry. I said I would protect you well, but I ultimately failed to keep my promise."
"An Nuan, this time, don't say anything. I won't listen to you. I will make Xu Ruowei and Shen Xizhou pay the price."
"An Nuan, after this incident, I absolutely will not allow you to be in any danger again," Nangong Jin said firmly, his voice even trembling slightly. As he said this, he kept looking at An Nuan, as if making a vow to her.
