Upstairs, Ye Ziqiu tossed and turned until well past two in the morning.
It wasn’t until after two o’clock that things finally quieted down.
Meanwhile, Lin Jian sat in the living room on the first floor all night.
As for the four bodyguards, they spent the night outside.
At six in the morning, just as Lin Jian dozed off on the sofa, a sudden scream echoed from upstairs.
Startled by the shriek, he jolted awake and leaped to his feet.
He immediately recognized the voice—it was Ye Ziqiu.
“She’s awake!
She’s regained her senses!” Lin Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
In the second-floor bedroom, Ye Ziqiu was losing her mind.
The bed was damp and smelled strange, and both the bed and the floor were a complete mess.
Her head felt like it was splitting open, and her entire body ached.
Most importantly, she was stark naked.
This was entirely out of character for her.
She always wore pajamas to sleep, and she even wore underwear beneath them.
But now?
She didn’t have a single stitch of clothing on.
Combined with the chaotic state of the room, she briefly suspected that she had been drugged and assaulted.
Jiang Xue had been dozing in a chair.
When Ye Ziqiu screamed, she got so scared that she started screaming too.
The two women shrieked at each other.
Amidst the screaming, Ye Ziqiu threw herself into Jiang Xue’s arms.
Trembling all over, she asked in utter panic, “Xue’Er, what happened?
Why am I…
What happened here?” She was on the verge of frantic tears.
Jiang Xue quickly grabbed a blanket to wrap around her and said angrily, “You’re asking me?
I wanted to ask you!
How could you be so careless?”
“I…
Hurry up and tell me what happened!
Why don’t I remember anything?” Ye Ziqiu pressed anxiously.
“I don’t know the exact details, but according to that little security guard from your company, you were drugged by Su Zhida last night.
Su Zhida and Su Zhiwei conspired against you and even booked a hotel room.
The security guard overheard them, so after you were drugged, he rescued you and brought you back.”
“What?” Ye Ziqiu was dumbfounded.
“Su Zhida drugged me…”
As she spoke, her expression changed drastically.
It all made sense.
Her memories seemed to stop right at the moment she clinked glasses with Su Zhida at the restaurant.
After that, her mind was a complete blank.
“The security guard brought me back?
Then when did you get here?”
“I arrived a little past nine last night.
I called you, but the security guard answered.
He said on the phone that you had too much to drink.
I immediately knew something was wrong.
You never get drunk, right? Find the original chapter at g.com.
So I rushed over.”
“Then…
did you undress me?” Ye Ziqiu asked in a low voice.
Jiang Xue rolled her eyes.
“You weren’t wearing anything when I got here.”
Ye Ziqiu turned pale.
“Then was I…
was I undressed by the security guard?
Which security guard?
Where is he?”
She began to tremble again.
Had she really been stripped naked by a strange man?
If so, did this stranger do anything else besides undressing her?
“He’s downstairs.
But he claimed that he only brought you up to the second floor and left right away, so you must have taken off your own clothes.
“Still, I think you should, *ahem*, check yourself.” As Jiang Xue spoke, she cast a glance over Ye Ziqiu’s body.
Ye Ziqiu asked in confusion, “Check wha—”
Halfway through her sentence, her expression shifted in horror.
She leaped out of bed and sprinted into the bathroom.
The bedroom was massive and included an en-suite bathroom.
A moment later, a sigh of immense relief echoed from the bathroom.
At the same time, Ye Ziqiu finally broke down, squatting on the floor and sobbing uncontrollably.
What in the world was all this?
To think she had been drugged and humiliated herself so thoroughly!
Thank goodness she hadn’t lost her innocence.
If she had, how could she go on living?
“Ziqiu, just wait!
I’ll avenge you.
I’m so furious!” After saying that, Jiang Xue stormed out, slamming the door behind her.
Hearing that Jiang Xue was going to seek revenge for her, Ye Ziqiu quickly shouted toward the door, “Xue’Er, wait for me!
Don’t be so hasty!”
“I’m not leaving!
I’m just going downstairs to interrogate that little security guard again.
Hmph!” Jiang Xue scoffed coldly and stomped down the stairs.
Meanwhile, Ye Ziqiu began to shower and change her clothes.
At the same time, downstairs, Lin Jian saw Jiang Xue descending.
He yawned and said, “Hey, can I leave now?
It’s already morning.
I’ve been kept up all night without a wink of sleep.”
“Where do you think you’re going?
Let me ask you, did you really not go into the second-floor bedroom last night?” Jiang Xue narrowed her eyes at him.
“I did.
I personally carried President Ye up to her bedroom.”
“Then how did you know which room was hers?
There are three or four rooms on the second floor.”
“I was here during the day.
I helped President Ye move in.
I was the one who placed the orchids in her bedroom.”
“You were here during the day?” Jiang Xue was momentarily stunned.
This was completely unexpected.
They wondered if the little security guard actually helped Ye Ziqiu move.
Could they be quite familiar with each other?
Did they have some sort of private relationship? Find the original chapter at g.com.
But that didn’t make sense.
How could an aloof executive like Ye Ziqiu have a personal relationship with a lowly security guard from her company?
“What’s your name?” Jiang Xue abruptly sat down, crossing her legs.
Lin Jian glanced at the time.
“I have things to do, so I’ll be taking off!”
He had no interest in playing a Q&A game with this Jiangnan Little Wild Cat.
Furthermore, her tone was clearly interrogative, which he strongly disliked.
Therefore, the moment he finished speaking, he turned and headed for the door.
The Jiangnan Little Wild Cat, Jiang Xue, hadn’t expected this security guard to actually just up and leave.
He was full of personality, completely different from any security guard she had ever met.
After all, security guards were typically at the bottom of the social ladder.
Whenever they encountered a wealthy young lady like her, they were usually submissive and eager to please.
None of them were as calm and unfazed as this guy!
He didn’t even give a damn about her.
He wouldn’t even bother talking to her and simply turned to leave.
“Stop right there!” Jiang Xue fumed.
“If you dare step out that door, believe it or not, I…
I’ll call the police!”
She wanted to threaten to have the four men outside break his legs, but those four wimps had already proven their incompetence the previous night.
So, she had a sudden stroke of inspiration and threatened to call the cops instead.
“If you dare leave, I’ll call the police and tell them you drugged a woman.” As if having found the perfect excuse, Jiang Xue’s eyes lit up.
Lin Jian turned around and gave the Jiangnan Little Wild Cat a thumbs up.
“You’re tough.
If you don’t call the cops, you’re my granddaughter.”
“PFFT—”
Jiang Xue nearly coughed up blood.
So arrogant!
He was simply too arrogant!
How dare he confront her head-on and take advantage of her like that!
“Are you looking for death?
Do you know who I am?” Jiang Xue was shaking with anger.
Since childhood, hadn’t every man around her pampered her, coaxed her, and yielded to her every whim?
This lowly security guard was the first man in her life who dared to treat her with such disrespect!
“Is your dad Li Gang?” Lin Jian shot back.
“Your dad is Li Gang!
Your whole family is Li Gang!”
The Little Wild Cat exploded.
What kind of person was this?
Of course she knew the Li Gang meme.
For this security guard to roast her using that internet joke was absolutely outrageous.
She originally wanted to announce who her father was, but after the security guard dropped the Li Gang meme, she could no longer brag about her family background or her old man.
CREAK.
Just then, as Jiang Xue was tearing her hair out in frustration, a freshly showered and dressed Ye Ziqiu walked out of her second-floor bedroom, drying her hair with a towel!
“Ziqiu, this little security guard from your company is way too arrogant!
I am officially filing a complaint against him!” Jiang Xue hollered.
Hearing this, Ye Ziqiu looked down, just as Lin Jian looked up.
In that instant, their eyes met.
