Chapter 69
It was late at night.
Not a single star was shining. The lights of a running car were thrown in sharp relief against the black night.
The speedometer needle in the dashboard was trembling, indicating that the car was speeding dangerously. But Xu Ziqing was totally unconcerned.
She didn’t know where she was going, she didn’t know where she was at present.
The car was playing music at a deafening volume. The
engine was growling. At this time, her phone rang.
The ringing of the phone could not be heard over the music. Xu Ziqing glanced at the mobile phone screen, she did not intend to answer, but the phone continued ringing. Finally, irritated, she turned the music down and answered the phone.
The moment she connected, the voice on the other side asked her worriedly , “ Where did you go ? Why are you not in the hotel?”
“ I just came out for some air.”
“ Come back quickly. I am waiting for you outside the door of the suite.” Zhou Cheng was whispering to her, but his voice sounded very serious, “ I have something to tell you.”
“ I can already guess what you want to tell me. I just wanted to teach her a lesson – why are you feeling bad ?”
Zhou Cheng was silent
Xu Ziqing immediately realises her guess was correct. She snorted, “She has already caused me so much harm, are you really going to scold me for what I did to her?”
Finally, he sighed helplessly, “ You can’t be sure that it was Yan Liang who have the evidence to the police. And I believe that Yan Liang wouldn’t do that.”
This simple sentence further angered Xu Ziqing. She stopped the car, uttered a curse under her breath and growled at the handset, “ Saying anything now is useless. I have told her that actually she is an unknown…”
Suddenly, her car was hit.
Bang !
A car hit hers from the passenger side. It was a solid hit. Because of the impact, Xu Ziqing’s body crashed against the door and her phone fell to the floor.
The collision of metal against metal caused her ears to rings Xu Ziqing felt slightly dizzy. She touched her forehead – her forehead had hit the window and there was a little blood.
The call was still connected. On the other side, Zhou Cheng heard the sounds. Anxiously , he shouted at the other end, “Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing !!What happened ?”
XuZiqing was holding her forehead, she had no time to retrieve the phone.
She was in pain but still conscious, she unlocked the seatbelt, and got off the car to see who crashed her car.
But just as she got off, a figure rushed towards her. Before she had the time to respond, she was pushed against the car and he grabbed her throat.
In the hall of the street lights, Xu Ziqing finally looked up and could see the face of the person in front of her clearly. Shocked, she stared at him uncomprehendingly, “ Jiang..Jiang Yu Nan ?”
With his figure backlit by the street lights, his eyes were burning with a cold flame of pure rage.
Silently, he continued grabbing her throat. In a panic, Xu Ziqing tried to pull his arm off hers. But she couldn’t budge him.
Her face was flushed, her lips paled and gradually her resistance collapsed. Just as she thought she may faint, Jiang Yu Nan released her.
She fell to the ground and she desperately gulped down air.
A pair of shoes slowly came into her field of vision.
On the ground, his shadow engulfed Xu Ziqing’s body.
His voice was ice cold, “ You should desperately pray that Yan Liang is part of your Xu family. Otherwise, the next time I come back, my target will be miss Xu you – and your Xu family. “
“……” “…”
He squatted down to her.
He raised her chin, “ At that time, my methods will be even more ruthless, I can promise you that.”
Aa he finished, he let go of her chin.
Xu Ziqing turned her face away.
Jiang Yu Nan stood up and left. A long time after the footsteps disappeared in the distance, under the street lights, the woman continued to lean against the car.

When Yan Liang woke up with a headache on the next day, it was already three pm
Yan Liang used her palm to block the bright light as her eyes adjusted to it. She was on a soft bed.
She sat up on the bed, and bent down to see herself. She was in pyjamas. She could still smell the scent of alcohol on herself
Seeing that she had woken up, the servant pushed the door open and brought in a rich brunch.
Yan Liang had no appetite. She just picked up the glass to drink some water. Then she waved her hands signalling the servant to take away the rest.
The servant said “ Ok” and picked up the tray. Yan Liang sipped a bit of water, and felt a slight discomfort in her throat.
Then she suddenly thought of something and asked the servant, “ By the way..”
“……” “…”
“ Who dropped me home ?”
The servant looked at her, as if wondering what to say.
After a long time, she finally said, “ It was Mr Lu..”
