Chapter 251: He’s Here!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Nuan was so dizzy that she couldn’t get away from the sofa though she had tried to stand up several times.
She gave up after struggling for a while. She rubbed between her eyebrows and took her cell phone to check the time.
In her dizziness, she tried to figure out whether Mo Jingshen had heard what she said on the phone. She had lowered her voice, and he was in a meeting. Maybe he didn’t hear her clearly.
Ji Nuan bit her lip hard, trying to keep herself awake.
She didn’t know how long it would take her to lose consciousness. One minute, two minutes, or ten minutes?
Just when Ji Nuan was going to lose consciousness, a loud noise from the door woke her up.
Ji Nuan looked up only to see Mo Jingshen enter. He looked angry, and when he spotted Ji Nuan lying on the sofa, he coldly glanced around the room and then rested his stare on the teacup on the tea table.
Ji Nuan was relieved to see Mo Jingshen. Feeling him approaching her and smelling his familiar, pleasing body odor, she instantly came to herself. He touched her face to make sure she was all right. Seeing her lightheadedness, he stood up in anger.
Just in several minutes, several men who Ji Nuan had never seen fell in front of the door of the room.
Ji Nuan looked at Mo Jingshen who had opened the window to let the wind in from outside.
She felt much better after taking in some fresh air. She struggled to get up and heard a message notification from her cell phone. As she expected, as soon as the door and window were open, there was phone signal.
The message showed that Mo Jingshen had called her one minute ago, two minutes ago, and three minutes ago…
He didn’t stop calling her in this short period of time.
Ji Nuan had sobered up. Looking at the men lying outside the room, she heard Mo Jingshen saying to them in a cold voice, “I’m not interested in who is your boss. I think your boss doesn’t want me to know who he is too.”
Mo Jingshen’s men gagged these men with the cleaning rags they found in the bathroom.
At this time, Ji Nuan’s cell phone rang again. She picked up the call. “Nuan Nuan, did you call me?” Ji Hongwen’s voice sounded solemn as usual.
From his tone, she could tell that he had no idea of what had happened to her.
“Dad, are you in Hai City or T City?” Ji Nuan asked.
“How do you know I’m in T City? I came to visit a business partner in T City, but I’m too busy to see you. Who told you I was in T City?”
“Then, where exactly are you?”
“I’m in the hotel my business partner arranged for me. I got to go now. My business partner has sent a car to pick me up, and the car is waiting downstairs. I’ll go to visit you at T University before I go back to Hai City if I have time.”
“Okay, Dad, go about your business. I’m fine.”
“Really? I remember you seldom called me. I left my cell phone in my pocket and accidentally muted it, so I missed your calls.”
“Never mind.”
Then before Ji Hongwen asked her again, Ji Nuan quickly hung up lest he would be worried about her.
She believed what Secretary Zhou said because she asked Ji Hongwen’s assistant about Ji Hongwen’s recent schedule when she was chatting with Xia Tian via cell phone last weekend, and the assistant said he would visit T City.
She didn’t expect the man framing her up knew the Ji family better even than her. He knew who she contacted and trusted. The staff of the Ji Corporation had been simple, and Secretary Zhou had been acting reliably.
A chill ran up to her head, which instantly sobered her up.
She looked up at the man who was putting a towel-wrapped ice bag on her head and naturally reached out for the towel.
After receiving her father’s call, she had been sitting on the sofa feebly and didn’t have the strength to get up. Not noticing when those men lying on the ground were taken away, she just gazed at Mo Jingshen’s handsome, cold face.
“Feeling better?” Mo Jingshen moved his hand away from her head and coldly watched her as she pressed the ice bag on her forehead.
Ji Nuan nodded. “Fortunately, I called you. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what would have happened.”
At this time, some people spoke outside the door. Mo Jingshen’s men had taken the club’s manager away. Mo Jingshen gazed at her and touched her head. “It’s okay. We’ll leave after you sober up. Tell me exactly what happened to you today when we go back.”
Ji Nuan grunted in response. Although she still couldn’t move, she had sobered up with the fresh air and the ice bag.
Ji Nuan told him what happened just now, from how she received a call from Secretary Zhou to how she was locked up in this room. Mo Jingshen looked at her and said flatly, “The one behind this plot bought over your father’s secretary and lured you here in the name of your father. I’ll find out what role Ji Mengran, Secretary Zhou, Shen Heru, and anyone else played in today’s affair.”
“Who do you think did this?”
The noise outside had gone. Ji Nuan did not know how Mo Jingshen’s men would deal with this club, but she knew these people would be in serious trouble.
Mo Jingshen put his hand over her cold forehead lest she should be hurt by the chill. He took the towel and ice bag from her hand and threw them on the tea table. “This person must be among the members of the Ji family. If it’s not the old one, then it must be the young one. Just stay here and wait for me for a while. Let me solve this club first.”
With that, he asked her to get herself a comfortable position on the sofa, took off his suit jacket, and covered her body after patting her shoulder reassuringly. Then he went out and closed the door.
Several of Mo Jingshen’s men in black suits were waiting outside. They had got the list of those who booked rooms in this club today. As soon as Mo Jingshen came out, they handed him the list.
Not long later, a young girl hiding in a room not far away was brought out. She cursed and struggled when being pulled out of the room. However, when she spotted the man who wandered over unbuttoning his shirtsleeve, she froze.
Ji Mengran never expected Mo Jingshen would show up here in such a short time. The last thing she wanted was Mo Jingshen finding out her true colors.
The man’s cold and harsh eyes rested on her face. Obviously, he was not surprised to see Ji Mengran here.
Ji Mengran’s body stiffened under his stare. She was pressed against the wall of the corridor by the men in black suits. She finally found her voice more than ten seconds later.
“Brother Jingshen?” Ji Mengran’s face was pale. “Why are you here?”
As far as she knew, Mo Jingshen should be occupied at this time tonight because he had an important meeting to attend, but why was he here?!
