Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Finally Believed_1
"Slap!"
Reaching Xu Gang, Jiang Chen swung a slap across his face, then with a voice that only Xu Gang could hear, he bellowed, "Dare to touch my woman? Seeking death!"
After that, he launched another kick that sent Xu Gang flying backwards.
"Stop, you stop right now!"
Ye Jingyi's cry of alarm made Jiang Chen turn around to face her, now terrified, "Don't be afraid, I'm really trying to help you."
Ye Jingyi was indeed frightened, but seeing the kindly look on Jiang Chen's face, her anger suppressed her fear.
"What on earth do you want to do? You're really out of line!"
Ye Jingyi's eyebrows were fiercely furrowed, a mix of anger and fear making her pretty face turn beet red.
How could this guy still dare to say he was helping her? Didn't he know that he was harming her?
He's such a jerk!
Seeing that Ye Jingyi still didn't believe him, Jiang Chen frowned and approached a bodyguard who had been beaten to the ground.
"I just saw with my own eyes you going out and giving instructions to that waiter about the drinks. Now, I'm asking you, is there anything wrong with this drink?" Jiang Chen grabbed the bodyguard and demanded.
This bodyguard, however tough, remained silent, not even bothering to give Jiang Chen the time of day.
They never shed a tear until they see the coffin.
A faint sneer appeared on the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.
He immediately picked up a dinner knife next to him, and without a word, stabbed it into the back of the hand of the bodyguard in the black suit.
The exceptionally sharp edge of the knife cut through skin and blood spurted out.
"Ah!"
Although the bodyguard was tough, he couldn't help but scream out in pain on the spot.
"Will you tell the truth willingly, or should I let your right hand have a taste too?"
Jiang Chen's voice was deep, and it sounded like the grim reaper's greeting in the ears of the bodyguard in black.
"Yes, yes... the red wine and champagne both have drugs mixed in, colorless and tasteless. Even a chaste woman would turn wanton after drinking..." the bodyguard could only spill the truth.
In his eyes, Jiang Chen was a madman, and an even more ruthless one.
He did what he said he would do.
Such a person was not to be trifled with.
"Ms. Ye, did you hear that? I have not falsely accused anyone," Jiang Chen let go of the bodyguard, saying earnestly to Ye Jingyi.
"How can you be so brutal? Not only did you hit someone, but you even dared to use a knife to hurt them? Besides, with questioning like this, who wouldn't admit to anything?"
Ye Jingyi's eyes were filled with horror, and she defiantly confronted Jiang Chen, still not believing his words.
Jiang Chen also shook his head in frustration. How could this foolish woman still not believe him?
Thinking this, he suddenly turned around, grabbed a bottle of champagne from the table, and approached Xu Gang again.
"What, what are you going to do?"
Xu Gang, seeing Jiang Chen coming back, was terrified and tried to run away.
But Jiang Chen grabbed him, holding the bottle of champagne laced with drugs, and with a quick motion, stuffed it into Xu Gang's mouth, then forcibly poured it down.
Since Ye Jingyi still didn't believe his words, he decided to let her see for herself.
Let her see for herself whether there was anything wrong with Xu Gang's drink.
If he kept on explaining, it would probably just be a waste of saliva.
Despite his desperate struggle, Xu Gang couldn't stop Jiang Chen's actions; Jiang Chen's grip was strong, far more powerful than his own, used to lounging around in women's company.
"Cough, cough...ugh..."
After being forced to drink almost an entire bottle of champagne, Xu Gang was pushed away by Jiang Chen and immediately began to induce vomiting, trying to throw up the champagne.
He was well aware that of the three types of drinks he had provided, only the white liquor was harmless. The red wine and the champagne, however, were a different story altogether.
The red powder in the drinks, which he had obtained through considerable effort and great expense from shady channels, was rumored to turn even the most virtuous woman into a loose one. Now he had drunk more than half a bottle of it himself?
Mommy, the mere thought was enough to kill a man!
At this moment, Jiang Chen had already walked back to Ye Jingyi's side.
"You're going to be..." Jiang Chen stepped forward, about to speak.
But Ye Jingyi, stunned by Jiang Chen's actions, had lost her rationality, "You're crazy..." After saying that, a slap flew towards him.
With a crisp smack, Jiang Chen's face was marked by five bright red fingerprints.
Jiang Chen was stunned, the pain on his face clouding his eyes with confusion.
I was clearly helping you, wasn't I?
The slap also released a lot of Ye Jingyi's rage, and she shouted angrily, "Do you realize the trouble you've caused? Do you know who this person is, the one you hit and then got drunk? Get lost now!"
At this moment, she was full of resentment towards Jiang Chen, yet she didn't want him to be retaliated against by Xu Gang because of this incident, which is why she told Jiang Chen to run away.
Things had reached this point; her matter was certainly doomed, and she didn't want to involve anyone else.
After all, throughout the conversation, Jiang Chen had always insisted he was helping her.
Yet Jiang Chen just laughed, "Are you concerned about me?"
"Are you sick!"
Ye Jingyi was so frustrated with Jiang Chen that she stamped her foot. This guy really must be out of his mind.
"Come! Come! Baby, let's have some fun! Hahaha."
Just then, Xu Gang's crazed voice reached their ears.
Looking towards the voice, they clearly saw Xu Gang with a flushed face, uttering crude words, lunging at Ye Jingyi.
"Ah!"
Frightened by the sudden move, Ye Jingyi screamed and hid behind Jiang Chen.
"Get lost!" Jiang Chen kicked out fiercely, sending Xu Gang stumbling back.
Xu Gang fell to the ground, but felt no pain; instead, he turned around and desperately began kissing a bodyguard next to him.
Ye Jingyi was first stunned, then her complexion turned pale.
By now.
Even Ye Jingyi, naive as she was, understood that Jiang Chen was right. Xu Gang indeed harbored ill intentions towards her, having drugged the wine.
It turned out, she had really wronged Jiang Chen.
If it wasn't for Jiang Chen showing up and intervening in time, she couldn't imagine the consequences.
Potentially, she would have lost her purity to Xu Gang in the terrifying state he was currently in.
Thinking of this, Ye Jingyi was completely dumbfounded.
"Silly woman, aren't you leaving yet!"
Seeing that Ye Jingyi had finally come to her senses, Jiang Chen picked up her handbag, grabbed her hand, which was still in shock, and started running with her.
They couldn't stay here any longer; they needed to leave quickly.
It wasn't out of fear of Xu Gang's revenge, but rather, the scene that was about to unfold would likely be blindingly indecent.
…
Ye Jingyi's soft hand was being pulled by Jiang Chen as they quickly left Triumph Hotel.
This rapid running made Ye Jingyi breathless and caused her heart to thump wildly.
Even now, she felt bewildered by everything that had happened, and reflecting on it filled her with dread.
Looking once again at Jiang Chen, who was rushing her away, a tinge of guilt surged in her heart.
Previously, she had been continuously blaming and complaining about Jiang Chen, always believing that what he said and did were deceitful, that he was harming her.
But now she realized she had truly misjudged Jiang Chen.
If it weren't for Jiang Chen, she would have been defiled by Xu Gang by now, and afterward, she probably would have wanted to die.
"Alright, we're here."
By then, Jiang Chen had brought Ye Jingyi to where they had parked. Turning to her, he saw her face filled with regret, smiled, and handed her the handbag, "Ha, you see your mistake, don't you? No need to thank me, though."
