Ji Wei stared coldly at her.
"Tell , if Rongcheng’s number one socialite had soup and food splashed all over her face, do you think it would make tomorrow’s headlines? Ah, just the thought of it is so thrilling. Your expression, Miss Ji, would surely be priceless."
Zhu Jianian’s expression at this mont was almost deranged, as if humiliating Ji Wei was the only way to appease the turmoil in her heart.
Ji Wei showed no anger in response to her taunting. She continued to look at Zhu Jianian with cold eyes.
It was close.
Soon, Zhu Jianian wouldn’t be able to laugh anymore.
Ji Wei’s indifference to being provoked only fueled Zhu Jianian’s anger further.
Grinding her teeth, she spat, "Even on the brink of death, you still act high and mighty! I’ll post your pathetic state online and ruin your reputation until you can’t show your face ever again!"
As she said this, Zhu Jianian viciously raised the food container in her hand—
Ring ring ring...
Suddenly, a phone’s ringtone interrupted her action.
Zhu Jianian’s expression froze and she quickly looked toward Ji Wei’s pocket.
Quick as a flash, she snatched the phone and saw the screen displaying the word "Husband." Her eyes darkened instantly, her hand trembling.
It was Gu Moqian’s call!
Zhu Jianian’s eyes widened, jealousy raging within them.
As if possessed, she pressed the answer button and held the phone to her ear.
"Weiwei, tell where you are. I’ll co to you right away!" Gu Moqian’s anxious voice ca through the phone.
Zhu Jianian glanced at Ji Wei.
Hadn’t she claid she’d given Gu Moqian her location?
She really dared to lie and deceive her!
At the sa ti, Zhu Jianian’s emotions beca even more tangled.
After failing to drug him that night, her relationship with Gu Moqian had crumbled entirely to the point where he couldn’t even stand to see her. She hadn’t heard his voice in a long ti.
Zhu Jianian opened her mouth, but not a single word ca out.
She didn’t dare.
If Gu Moqian heard her voice, he would probably erupt with rage.
"Weiwei, are you listening? Where exactly are you..."
On the phone, the man’s voice was anxious and concerned, but it was all directed at another woman.
Zhu Jianian’s heart clenched violently. Gritting her teeth, she abruptly ended the call. Then she turned off the phone and flung it to the ground.
Even if Gu Moqian didn’t know the exact location, given his resources, he’d find it soon. She had to act quickly!
Zhu Jianian suddenly bent down, grabbed Ji Wei’s sweater collar harshly, and hissed, "You vile woman, do you know what I hate the most about you? This face of yours!"
She pulled out a knife from her clothes and brought it dangerously close to Ji Wei’s pale yet still stunning face. "I’m going to ruin your face so that when Moqian looks at you, he’ll feel disgusted. He’ll never want you again!"
The blade glead coldly, hovering just centiters from Ji Wei’s neck.
But Ji Wei remained fearless, staring directly at the deranged woman before her. Her lips tugged into a chilling curve: "Zhu Jianian, turn around and look behind you."
"Stop playing tricks on ! I won’t fall for your—"
The sound from a loudspeaker interrupted her sharply: "Criminals inside, listen carefully. You are surrounded! Do not resist unnecessarily. Release the hostage and surrender imdiately!"
Zhu Jianian whipped her head around in panic, and her eyes fell on the countless SWAT officers surrounding the house, guns in hand.
One officer holding a loudspeaker was shouting directly at her.
Zhu Jianian was shaken to her core. Her face went pale as her blood drained away. She turned back to stare at Ji Wei in horror, her mind blank.
"Before I climbed in here, I reported this location anonymously, saying soone was kidnapped," Ji Wei said slowly, her voice cold and detached. "Kidnapping charges are more than enough for Miss Zhu to spend three to five years in prison."
