Looking at her blushing face, the pallor from earlier was gone, clearly showing she had cald down from tonight’s events.
Bao Ye said, "Okay."
Then he placed the cup of water onto the table and sat down beside her.
The two sat in such close proximity, and suddenly, the atmosphere grew quiet again.
Jiang Ruan lay there, watching the man’s chiseled side profile, her mind still imrsed in the events of the evening.
He had saved her once again.
He was like her savior, suddenly appearing before her at the most critical monts.
Thinking about it, Jiang Ruan’s eyes couldn’t help but sting with emotion.
Beside her, Bao Ye’s voice sounded: "I’ve already asked the police to investigate the person who kidnapped you. They have his facial DNA, so we should have news soon."
"I know why he kidnapped ." Jiang Ruan looked at the man, sniffed, and spoke in a calm tone.
Bao Ye lifted his gaze, "You know?"
Jiang Ruan then recounted everything she heard and what the man said in the car.
After hearing her words, Bao Ye’s expression cooled down.
The atmosphere beca so oppressive, giving the illusion of an imminent confrontation.
"It’s her again." Bao Ye’s voice was deep and cold, "Soone must have been instigating behind the scenes, otherwise Zhang Xiang would not have targeted you directly."
Jiang Ruan nodded, "I think so too."
She didn’t say that it’s very likely that Su Wan was behind it.
Su Wan was a woman with formidable ans.
Since Jiang Ruan had returned to the country, Su Wan had been making trouble for her in her career or other aspects.
Of course, Jiang Ruan wasn’t soone to be trifled with.
Anyone who bullied her would get their couppance.
If necessary, Bao Ye had her back.
"Leave this matter to ." Bao Ye said to Jiang Ruan, "Focus on getting better, and I’ll find out who is behind this."
Jiang Ruan’s red lips parted slightly, but she swallowed her words.
Instead, she asked another question, her dark eyes blinking as she tentatively inquired, "What do you plan to do if you find out who the mastermind is?"
He looked straight at her, his voice full of determination, "Anyone bold enough to do this and harm my woman will pay the price."
He, Bao Ye, wasn’t to be ssed with.
If soone dared to offend him, did they think he was just a paper tiger?
So handso.
Jiang Ruan’s eyes lit up for a mont, and she reached out wanting to hug him, but accidentally pulled at her injury.
"Hiss~"
Jiang Ruan inhaled sharply in pain, her face showing her discomfort.
Bao Ye’s expression changed instantly, pressing her down, "Don’t move, you still have wounds. Do you really want to leave scars?"
"I don’t want to, I forgot." Jiang Ruan stuck out her tongue, appearing quite cheeky.
"Tell what you want to do, and I’ll help you." Bao Ye asked softly, "Do you need to go to the bathroom?"
"No."
"Then what do you want?" Bao Ye inquired.
Jiang Ruan didn’t answer.
They t each other’s gaze; her eyes were smiling gently, watching him with a lively and obedient expression.
She put on what she thought was a very gentle and sweet smile.
And in reality, it was indeed gentle and sweet.
It made Bao Ye, knowing she was injured and a patient, unable to stop an involuntary rumbling in his throat.
Swearing inwardly, he covered her eyes with his hand, his voice hoarse with restraint, "Besides , you still have an injury."
"Be good, even if you want to, you have to wait until you’re healed."
With that, Jiang Ruan reached out to remove his large hand, her pure little face flushed red, like an apple.
"What, you’re the one who misunderstood!"
Jiang Ruan bit her lip bashfully, "I wasn’t thinking that at all."
"Really?"
eting his deep and profound gaze, like a deep pond she found herself unable to resist sinking into, completely lost.
"Mm-hmm." Jiang Ruan’s voice softened, opening her arms, "I just wanted you to hug . I forgot about the injury and pulled it by accident."
Upon hearing this, Bao Ye raised an eyebrow, "Oh."
"Seems I misunderstood."
Bao Ye’s drawling tone was as nonchalant as it was mischievous.
Jiang Ruan scoffed and said, "You’re the one overthinking."
Saying this, Jiang Ruan murmured with a flushed face, "How could I... I’m already injured and still want to..."
"Then why were you looking at with such longing?" Bao Ye licked his lips, teasing her, "Weren’t you longing for sothing?"
Jiang Ruan widened her eyes in protest, "Who was looking at you longingly? Don’t make things up... um..."
Before she could finish, Bao Ye pinched her soft cheeks and sealed her lips.
Stealing away all her breath.
He kissed her with domineering force, releasing her face, and instead gently cradling her neck.
The two quietly kissed, with the air filled with a sense of having survived a disaster.
The kiss lasted quite a long ti.
When it ended, Jiang Ruan leaned limp in his embrace, her breath erratic and unstable.
Bao Ye was no better off, his jaw resting on her soft shoulder, and she could hear his voice gritting near her ear.
"I’ll give you a few bodyguards. If that’s not enough, I’ll give you Chen Nan. From now on, wherever you go, he follows. Let’s see who in Beijing dares to target you."
Hearing this, Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but giggle.
She wrapped her arms around the man’s slim waist, her palm gently patting his back, mimicking how he comforted her that night.
Jiang Ruan laughed, "How does that work? Besides, who doesn’t know that Chen Nan is Mr. Bao’s personal assistant? Letting him follow is the sa as announcing to everyone that I’m your woman."
Bao Ye lifted his eyes, his dark gaze fixed intently on her.
He said solemnly, "I want them to know that you are my woman."
"Anyone who dares to ss with you is an enemy of Bao Ye."
The man’s tone was laced with unrestrainable coldness and conviction.
And hearing this, Jiang Ruan’s heart trembled fiercely.
-
Soon, the police found all the information on Zhang Xiang.
Then it was delivered to Bao Ye.
After reviewing Zhang Xiang’s information and the chat records found on his phone,
All evidence pointed out that Su Wan had indirectly incited and guided Zhang Xiang, leading him—driven by a fanatical obsession with celebrities and worsened by having killed soone and served ti, contributing to his psychological issues—to kidnap Jiang Ruan.
Putting down the files, Chen Nan looked at Bao Ye, who was seated with a calm expression. "Mr. Bao, what should we do now? Zhang Xiang is dead, and even with this evidence, there’s no witness to confront."
"Moreover, the person who incited Zhang Xiang has already deleted their account and fled, leaving no way to directly implicate Su Wan."
There’s also the fact that even if confronted.
Su Wan could flatly deny it all.
She could put the bla on fans, claiming they were blindly obsessed, and it had nothing to do with her.
What Chen Nan thought of, Bao Ye had naturally considered as well.
Glancing at the docunts the police had gathered, Bao Ye leaned back, looking at Chen Nan with a voice icy and chilling, "If I want to deal with her, what does it matter if there’s no evidence?"
Chen Nan raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Bao, you an?"
"From today onwards, Bao Family will cancel all cooperation with Su Wan."
