Jinhai entered his base and found Long Yani in a terrible state, but obviously, he didn't care. She was covered in dirt and mud, and her expensive dress was already in tatters.
Long Yani saw him coming and gritted her teeth in anger. "Liu Jinhai! What is this nonsense? Why have you brought here? Let go!"
Jinhai expressionlessly said, "Sure. After you tell what you were doing outside Natsukashi today."
Long Yani was confused as to how anybody saw her. She was standing at the corner.
Then she rembered that she talked to Serena for a while and knew she was working there.
But why would she tell them about ? We don't know each other.
Jinhai raised his brow. "I don't think that you are going to talk like that."
He glanced at one of his guards, and he nodded. He brought a set of pliers. Long Yani shuddered with that sight.
She got a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"So, are you in the mood to tell now?"
Long Yani gulped. "I was waiting for my ride!"
"Which happened to be outside Natsukashi where Nana works and whom you consider as your enemy. Right."
"I am telling the truth!"
Jinhai said nothing.
The guard got the cue, and imdiately, he grabbed Long Yani's hand.
"Hey! Leave my hand! What are you doing?"
She tried to resist, but it wasn't of any use.
In a flash, the guard jamd the plier on the nail of her index finger and pulled it out in a single shot.
"Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!"
Long Yani scread, feeling the extre agony as the nail ripped apart from her finger. Blood oozed out, and it dripped down on the ground. Beads of sweat ford on her forehead, and her jaw tightened, grinding her teeth. Tears pooled in her eyes, and her vision turned blurry.
"Are you willing to say it now? Or you need another demonstration?" Jinhai coolly rested his head on his palm.
"I will say it!"
Long Yani panicked. She didn't want to go through that horrifying pain once again.
But she also couldn't bear to let everything out and let her plan fail.
She wanted Nana to be destroyed and the child inside her too. She won't give up on that revenge.
Once Tang Feng and Tang Ning execute their plan and kill Nana's child, she didn't care even if Jinhai killed her. She would have still won in the end.
"I...I just wanted to harm Nana sohow like how I suffered."
She said a part of the truth because any other reason knowing her hatred towards Nana would have seed too unbelievable.
Jinhai's aura turned cold and dangerous, and she trembled in fear.
"Why did you leave?"
"Because I saw you walking around in Natsukashi, and I had to give up. I didn't know that you were there too today. I thought she might be alone, so I could"
His signal was enough to make the guard understand. He ripped out another one of her nails.
"Aaaahhhhhh!!!"
Long Yani was on the verge of losing her consciousness seeing the blood now flowing like a stream of river.
Jinhai got up and said, "I think we can gift your nails to your husband, Long Guozhi, to know what I can do."
Long Yani inwardly laughed.
Guozhi. He doesn't even care anymore. He has already signed the divorce papers and threw them at my face.
When Jinhai went out, he said, "Find out more about what Long Yani was up to in the recent days."
"Yes, sir!"
A loud sound of thundering roared in the clouds high up in the sky, and a flash of bright lightning lit the clouds giving an almost eerie sense.
"Seems there is going to be quite a storm tomorrow," Jinhai muttered.
---
The next day, as expected, the grey clouds filled up the entire bed of sky, and it cast a thin blanket of darkness upon the city.
It looked like it was going to rain hard.
Huian did so last formalities with Shin as he told her everything about the next doctor who would be treating her.
"Here are the details and your reports. I have already talked to him. He would be handling your case now."
Huian nodded, although she did feel a bit weird to go to another doctor at this point. But she couldn't say that after what she had done to his sister.
"Sure. Thank you for everything that you have done for until now." She smiled.
Shin didn't know why, but suddenly the picture of her hugging him when she acted in front of Mu Shuchun ca in his mind. Her smile reminded him of how she coyly smiled, wrapping her hands around him.
He snapped out and cleared his throat.
"Hm. If there is still any confusion, you can call ."
Huian nodded.
She slowly got up and started to leave. Nowadays, she tried to walk around as much as possible and would sit back when she got tired.
She looked back once and politely bowed.
Shin faintly acknowledged.
When Huian stepped out and sat back in the car, the driver asked, "Mam, should we go to the Xiang villa?"
Huian thought about it. She didn't want to go back so soon and get bored in the villa, doing nothing.
Should I et Nana and see how she is doing?
Her stomach grumbled, as well.
Well, I am hungry too. I could have lunch there as well.
"Take to Natsukashi."
---
Natsukashi.
It started to rain pretty hard by then, and the roads were already getting clogged up with water and puddles.
There were hardly any custors now and the last one also just finished up.
Qiu and iling called up to say that they were stuck in the middle of traffic on their way to Natsukashi. Nana said that they could take leave instead of coming all the way here. There was not much business, either.
Serena caught a cold last night so she couldn't co either.
So it was quieter than usual today at Natsukashi, and for a change, there were only Jinhai and Nana inside.
Nana didn't know what to do, and there was an awkward silence between them. She wondered if she should go back ho, but it would be pretty difficult now with the heavy rain.
Jinhai thought about it and asked, "Should I brew you a cup of tea? It has turned quite cold."
Nana shook her head but said nothing.
Jinhai's shoulder drooped. Since it was just the two of them alone, he wanted to use this chance to grow a little closer to her.
Nana was about to get up, but Jinhai asked, "What do you want? I will get it for you."
"No, thanks. I will do it myself." She said in a neutral tone.
She slowly got up, but Jinhai suddenly hugged her from behind.
Nana froze. "What are you doing, Jinhai? Let go. Didn't I tell you not to-"
"I-I know. But please, don't push away. Even if it's a small thing, I want to help you. It'salready so hard that we are so near yet so distant. I want to do whatever I can even if it's bringing a glass of water. I know it wouldn't do anything to change the situation, but I still want to do anything related to you."
Nana said nothing.
The door opened, and they stiffened. Huian widened her eyes when she saw Jinhai and Nana in that position. She was in her wheelchair a little wet from the rain.
She cleared her throat, but she found sothing odd atmosphere between them.
Jinhai was surprised too to see her here.
Nana smiled. "Ah Huian. Co inside. It's raining too hard."
Huian awkwardly said, "Ah, yes. I sohow managed to co here. I am sorry...I"
She hinted that she might be have been a hindrance in their mont.
"No, it's fine. I am surprised to see you here."
"Oh, yes. Actually, I was bored to go ho after my appointnt, and I was hungry too, so I thought that I could co here."
"Sure. I will cook sothing for you. Wait, I will give you a towel first. Dry yourself. Have a seat."
Huian didn't want to stay alone with Jinhai, but well
Suddenly the lights went off, and it beca a bit darker inside.
"What happened?" Nana asked.
Jinhai said, "Nana, you sit down, or you will bump into sothing. I will check the fusebox outside."
As he went, Huian asked, "So...how is everything going on?"
Nana paused for a bit. "It's"
She didn't know how to explain it.
Then they heard so noises thrashing and breaking outside.
Huian asked, "Huh? What is that noise-"
*Crash*
Suddenly one window broke of Natsukashi, and sobody started banging loudly on the door.
Nana and Huian looked at each other in horror.
"W-what?"
They broke the door, and four n ca inside barging in with hockey sticks in their hands.
Nana froze.
They looked strong and burly with nacing gaze.
"Break down everything here!" One of them said.
