An Nuan was taken away.
And when An Nuan woke up, the person she saw was Huo Yunshen.
"Huo Yunshen, what do you want to do?" An Nuan retreated backward in fear, but there was nowhere else to retreat. She was blocked by the wall, trembling all over, yet she still looked up, forcing herself to calm down and confront him.
"Huo Yunshen, did Xu Ruowei send you to deal with me?"
"Heh, you really are foolish. You believe everything Xu Ruowei says. Have you ever thought that perhaps, much of what she said was a lie?"
"Haven't you ever doubted her words?"
"You should know better than anyone how she used you."
"She used you to get closer to Shen Xizhou step by step. Even when you came looking for her, she still chose Shen Xizhou and abandoned you."
"And now? Is she asking you to make me disappear? Did she promise you that if you helped her with this, she would agree to be with you?"
"Have you considered that she said such things before? But later, whether you succeeded or not, she never kept her word."
Huo Yunshen crouched down and grabbed An Nuan's chin. He snarled viciously, "An Nuan, shut up. Don't say these things in front of me. I won't believe a single word you say."
"Ruowei is the woman I love most. I will absolutely not allow anyone to slander or hurt her."
"You are the most deserving of death."
"Since you made Ruowei unhappy and upset her, then as long as I destroy you, Ruowei will surely be happy."
"As long as Ruowei is happy, I'll do anything."
"Who told you to snatch Shen Xizhou? Ruowei said you already have Nangong Jin, so why do you still occupy Shen Xizhou?"
"So, as long as I destroy you, Ruowei can be with Shen Xizhou."
"That way, Ruowei will be happy. She will smile at me."
"Ruowei said that as long as she is with Shen Xizhou, she will not leave me. She will always be with me."
"Today is your death anniversary."
"Heh, Huo Yunshen, you are truly foolish."
"If Xu Ruowei is with Shen Xizhou, then how can she be with you?"
Huo Yunshen hesitated for a moment. He looked at An Nuan fiercely and said firmly, "Hmph, stop trying to sow discord about Ruowei's place in my heart."
"Ruowei said that her relationship with Shen Xizhou is just a charade. As long as Shen Xizhou believes her, she can get everything Shen Xizhou has, and then she can be with me."
"I believe Ruowei, she wouldn't lie to me."
"An Nuan, shut up. Don't say anything."
"Ruowei is right, you are a vixen. Your mouth is the best at twisting facts. I almost believed what you said."
Nangong Jin appeared. He hadn't seen An Nuan since early in the morning, and she wasn't at the company either. He was very anxious, worried that An Nuan might have encountered some trouble.
He asked Huo Yuxuan to investigate and soon found out where An Nuan was.
As expected, An Nuan was in danger.
When Nangong Jin arrived, he naturally brought someone with him.
While taking the person away, he also made a call to Shen Xizhou, asking him to come over. It would be a good decision to let him witness it with his own eyes.
When Nangong Jin arrived, he found An Nuan's hands and feet tied together, and there were ligature marks on her neck. His heart ached immensely.
And the one who caused all this was Huo Yunshen.
Nangong Jin did not let Huo Yunshen go. He unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks. It was only when An Nuan cried out that he stopped his actions. If An Nuan hadn't intervened, Huo Yunshen would likely have been beaten to death.
Huo Yunshen was beaten terribly and kept cursing.
Nangong Jin held An Nuan in his arms, comforting her.
At this moment, Nangong Jin said coldly, "Bring her in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ruowei was pushed in by Huo Yuxuan. The force was just right, pushing her directly onto Huo Yunshen.
Huo Yunshen was already a mess. Xu Ruowei was so frightened that she instinctively recoiled from Huo Yunshen's outstretched hand.
"You two stay here and behave yourselves."
Xu Ruowei's whole demeanor shifted. What did Nangong Jin mean by that?
At this moment, Nangong Jin said with a slight smile, "Huo Yunshen's actions against An Nuan were all your doing, weren't they?"
"Since you find your life too peaceful, I'll give you something to do."
"By the way, Huo Yunshen is madly in love with you. He'll do anything for you. I'm a good person, so I'll help fulfill your desires." Nangong Jin said, gesturing for Huo Yuxuan to step forward.
Huo Yuxuan stepped forward, wearing gloves, and forcibly poured water into Xu Ruowei and Huo Yunshen.
"I wish you both a hundred years of happiness," Nangong Jin said coldly.
He was only gentle with An Nuan. But to anyone else, he was cold.
At this moment, a sound came from outside.
Xu Ruowei's expression froze when she saw Shen Xizhou. But after a slight pause, as if she had thought of something, she struggled to crawl over. Shen Xizhou, however, directly dodged her outstretched hand.
Shen Xizhou's gaze fell on An Nuan. But when he saw Nangong Jin holding her, and An Nuan not pushing him away, he became consumed by jealousy.
He wished he could tear Nangong Jin's hand away.
At this moment, Xu Ruowei called out pitifully, "Xizhou." Tears streamed down her face.
She was in a disheveled state, her eyes red.
As if remembering something, she cried and said, "Xizhou, I... I really don't know why An Nuan won't let me go. To embarrass me, she colluded with Nangong Jin to frame me."
"She forced me to admit, to admit that I did those things."
She looked at An Nuan, kowtowed heavily, and then said sadly, "Fine, I admit it all. Everything was my doing."
"An Nuan, are you satisfied now?"
"Can you please show mercy and let me go?"
"I already know I was wrong."
"Everyone makes mistakes. I know I was wrong. Can't you let me go?"
She looked at Shen Xizhou and said desolately, "Xizhou, I know you won't believe anything I say now."
"You should leave. I don't want you to see me in such a pathetic state."
Huo Yunshen, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward. He was heartbroken. He shielded Xu Ruowei in his arms and declared, "Ruowei, don't be afraid. You're not alone. I'm here. I'll protect you for the rest of my life."
Xu Ruowei pushed Huo Yunshen away, saying with disgust, "Huo Yunshen, get away from me."
"I don't know why you are framing me, and I don't know you. Who are you working for to keep bothering me like this?"
Huo Yunshen froze, looking at the person before him in disbelief. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
