"Qi Yue is now universally despised. When he was taken away last night, even your father, Qi Tianxiang, didn't step forward to plead with your grandfather for him. I'm sure he wouldn't risk taking Qi Yue away today either. So, the one who took Qi Yue away must be someone else in the Qi family who wants to use him against you."
Jiang Youli looked very excited as she spoke, because this meant she could flex her muscles once again.
Qi Huan nodded. "Yeah, your analysis is pretty much the same as mine. I've already asked Cheng Jing to send someone to investigate whether it was Qi Feixiong's family or Qi Feifan's family who took Qi Yue away."
"Huanhuan, remember to tell me when you find out anything. Don't try to hide it from me just because you're worried about me. After all, you are now my official fiancé, so I must know about your safety." Jiang Youli spoke very seriously. She certainly didn't want something like a broken leg to happen to Qi Huan again.
Although Qi Huan wasn't the type of person who failed to learn from his mistakes, she still felt the need to be careful. After all, a broken leg was the price paid the first time, but a second time might very well cost his life.
Seeing Jiang Youli so concerned about his personal safety, a gentle smile couldn't help but reveal itself in Qi Huan's deep, pool-like eyes. He replied softly, "Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say, Little Li'er."
Only then did Jiang Youli say with satisfaction and great confidence, "No matter who wants to plot against us, from now on, as long as the two of us join forces, we will definitely be invincible."
Qi Huan just stared at her face. When she spoke, her eyes were incredibly bright, even more dazzling than the sunlight outside the window.
That's right.
With Jiang Youli around, Qi Huan felt that he could single-handedly fight against all the malice directed at them.
...
Through various channels, Jiang Xing finally found the hotel Qi Xiuyuan went to after leaving the auction house. After weighing the pros and cons, he made up his mind, took two strong, well-trained bodyguards, and hurried to the hotel.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Jiang Xing went straight to the front desk and, without hesitation, booked a luxurious presidential suite on the top floor.
These rooms were expensive, reserved exclusively for guests of high status or extreme wealth. Naturally, Qi Xiuyuan would also be staying in a presidential suite.
Arriving on the top floor, Jiang Xing signaled the two bodyguards to take action. They gently pressed the doorbells one by one in order.
When they rang the third room, the door slowly opened, and the person who appeared before them was indeed Qi Xiuyuan!
His upper body was completely bare, while his lower body was wrapped in only a white bath towel, barely covering his private parts.
Suddenly seeing Jiang Xing standing at the door, Qi Xiuyuan was clearly stunned, forgetting to react for a moment.
In this brief moment of distraction, Jiang Xing and the two bodyguards swiftly entered the room and heavily slammed the door shut.
Only then did Qi Xiuyuan snap back to his senses. He turned to look at Jiang Xing and angrily questioned, "Jiang Xing, what the fuck do you mean by this?"
After walking in, Jiang Xing saw a disheveled young woman sitting on the bed. There was a glaring slap mark on her beautiful face. He figured she must be the person Jiang Youli had asked him to save, so without another word, he stepped forward, grabbed the woman's wrist, and said, "Come with me, I'm getting you out of here!"
Luo Yutong froze, looking at Jiang Xing in shock. "You..."
Jiang Xing interrupted her, "Don't speak yet, just leave quickly."
Luo Yutong quickly shut her mouth.
Seeing this, Qi Xiuyuan roared loudly, "Jiang Xing, do you have a fucking death wish? How dare you blatantly snatch the woman I've set my eyes on!"
"Stop him." Jiang Xing left his bodyguards behind to block Qi Xiuyuan. Before Qi Xiuyuan could call his own bodyguards, Jiang Xing hurriedly left the room with the woman.
Watching Jiang Xing and the woman walk further away, Qi Xiuyuan cursed at the bodyguards blocking his way. "Do you know who I am, daring to block me! Get the hell out of my way, or I'll have someone kill you later!"
Seeing that Jiang Xing had no intention of stopping, Qi Xiuyuan warned:
"Very well, Jiang Xing. Just you wait. I'll make sure you suffer the consequences!"
Jiang Xing ignored Qi Xiuyuan's threats from behind. Limping slightly, he quickly led the woman into the elevator. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the elevator doors closed.
This time, he had completely offended Qi Xiuyuan.
Looking at Jiang Xing's relieved expression, Luo Yutong spoke gratefully, "Sir, thank you... Why did you risk offending Qi Xiuyuan to save me?"
Jiang Xing turned his head to look at the woman. "I wasn't the one who wanted to save you. It was..."
Hesitating for a moment, he continued, "It was my sister who asked me to save you."
It seemed to be the first time Jiang Xing used the words 'my sister' to refer to Jiang Youli, and he suddenly realized how awkward they felt on his tongue.
"Your sister?" As Luo Yutong processed this, her eyes suddenly lit up. "Is she the wealthy young lady who openly went against Qi Xiuyuan at the auction?"
Jiang Xing nodded. "Yes, that's her."
Luo Yutong smiled gratefully. "I see. I thought she wouldn't save me... I didn't expect her to actually be willing to do it. Although I know she might not necessarily have wanted to save me, perhaps she just wanted to cause trouble for Qi Xiuyuan..."
Jiang Xing said, "You're wrong. She truly wanted to save you."
Luo Yutong was stunned, her pupils dilating slightly.
Seeing that she seemed to find it hard to believe, Jiang Xing continued, "She said you are beautiful and wants to sign you as an artist for our entertainment company."
"So that's it," Luo Yutong said from the bottom of her heart. "Then please thank your sister for me, sir. Without her, my life might have been ruined by Qi Xiuyuan."
Jiang Xing fell silent for a moment. "It's better if you express your gratitude to her in person. I don't have the right to do so. If I say it, she might not appreciate it."
Seeing his sorrowful expression, Luo Yutong asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you at odds with your sister?"
Jiang Xing smiled bitterly. "Yes, a huge conflict. A conflict so deep that she might not forgive me for the rest of her life. It's my fault."
Hearing this, Luo Yutong said, "Although I don't know your sister, for a woman to dare to openly oppose a man like Qi Xiuyuan and be willing to save me in a moment of crisis, she is a formidable hero in my heart. Your sister is the person I admire the most. If you really did something to wrong her, making her unwilling to forgive you for the rest of her life, then you should spend the rest of your life making it up to her! Even if you don't seek her forgiveness, at least seek to have a clear conscience."
Hearing the woman's words, Jiang Xing fell into deep thought.
Jiang Youli had said that she wouldn't take his family's lives because watching them lose everything and live in agony would be much more entertaining.
Therefore, Jiang Youli couldn't possibly really let him die of poisoning.
Just as this woman said, perhaps he should spend his entire life trying to earn Jiang Youli's forgiveness.
After bringing the woman back to the car, the assistant took a call and said, "Mr. Jiang, the international designer women's bag you asked me to buy last time has been shipped back to the company from abroad."
Luo Yutong immediately said, "Your sister will definitely be very happy to receive your gift."
Jiang Xing paused. He had originally planned to give this bag to Little He, but was there still any need to give such an expensive bag to Little He now?
Perhaps there would be more value in giving the bag to his biological sister, Jiang Youli, instead.
"Mhm, I hope she will be happy to receive my gift." After saying this, Jiang Xing had his assistant make a trip to Starlight Entertainment to fetch the bag before taking the woman back to the Jiang family residence.
...
The Jiang residence, East District Villa.
After finishing Qi Huan's treatment, Jiang Youli returned home and immediately spotted Jiang Xing waiting at the villa's entrance. Beside him stood a beautiful young woman.
Seeing Jiang Youli return, Jiang Xing tightened his grip on the paper shopping bag containing the luxury handbag. He asked nervously, "Xiao Li, I have already rescued her. Are you willing to talk to me now?"
