The entire warehouse was in a dilapidated state, with all kinds of chemical waste piled on the floor. When you walked in, you could smell a pungent smell of chemicals.
Ji Xiuran's eyes fell on a few gangsters lying on the ground, covered in blood, and he didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
He walked inside and immediately saw Zhao Zhenguo's limbs twisted in a strange way and covered in blood.
Ji Xiuran couldn't help but tremble all over.
What happened?
Why is this happening?
He searched around the warehouse and didn't see the person he was looking for, so he suddenly panicked.
Where are people?
Where is Zhao Ningchu?
Ji Xiuran felt like he was going crazy.
Suddenly, a groan came from the ground. Ji Xiuran stepped forward, lifted the person up, and asked with scarlet eyes: "Where is the person? Where is the girl who was kidnapped by you?"
The man was mumbling and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Ji Xiuran shouted loudly: "Where is the person? Hand her over and give her back to me..."
The gangster was seriously injured, but he fainted after being shaken so hard by Ji Xiuran.
Ji Xiuran's eyes were scarlet and he threw the person to the ground.
At this moment, he was wandering around the warehouse like a headless fly.
Suddenly, a police officer said: "Found it, here, here."
Hearing this, Ji Xiuran followed the police officer's voice and saw Zhao Ningchu in the corner, hugging his knees and burying his head.
There were a lot of blood stains on her white clothes.
One white and one red, particularly dazzling.
Ji Xiuran rushed over without thinking and squatted in front of the girl: "Ah Chu~"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to hit her, but before his hand could touch her, he was pushed away by Zhao Ningchu. She said with a look of horror: "Don't touch me, don't touch me!"
Ji Xiuran froze. Seeing the girl's frightened look, his heart couldn't help but ache.
It was his carelessness and improper employment that led to such consequences.
"Achu, it's me, I'm here."
Zhao Ningchu continued to huddle in the corner, motionless.
Ji Xiuran looked at the blood stains on her body and wanted to check if she was injured, but at this moment, Zhao Ningchu was like a little tiger with explosive hair that exploded at the touch of it.
"Achu~"
Ji Xiuran called Zhao Ningchu's name over and over again, and Zhao Ningchu raised his eyes and looked at her blankly.
Say nothing.
Ji Xiuran reached out, held Zhao Ningchu's hand, and said softly: "I'm here, don't be afraid!"
Zhao Ningchu remained motionless, and her eyes did not waver at all, but Ji Xiuran felt her hand moving, and then clasped his fingers tightly.
Ji Xiuran's nose felt a little sore when he saw her helpless and panicked side.
He leaned forward, gently held Zhao Ningchu in his arms, pressed her head on his chest, and said with a sigh: "It's me, Ji Xiuran, I'm here."
Zhao Ningchu originally leaned quietly on Ji Xiuran's chest, but after hearing these three words Ji Xiuran, she pushed him away in a panic and held her belly with both hands.
"No, don't abort my child, Ji Xiuran, please, don't..."
Ji Xiuran froze, feeling very uncomfortable when he saw the girl looking at him warily.
He regretted it.
If he had known that this day would come, he would have regretted his original acquiescence. Even if the child was not his, even if he didn't like children, he should not have just let her abort the child.
The aborted child was like a thorn growing in Zhao Ningchu's heart, hurting himself and others.
"No, I don't want to abort the child, don't be afraid!"
Ji Xiuran coaxed softly and held Zhao Ningchu in his arms again.
This time, Zhao Ningchu became quiet and murmured to himself in his arms: "That's your child, don't let him go."
"I don't want him, no!"
Ji Xiuran responded softly, and Zhao Ningchu seemed to hear it. He stretched out his hands and tightly circled Ji Xiuran's waist, and kept rubbing his head on his chest, looking for that sense of security.
"That's my child, mine!"
"It's okay, be good, we're okay."
Ji Xiuran hugged her tightly, wishing she could embed her into his body.
"Achu, let's go to the hospital, okay?"
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, he kept shaking his head: "No, I don't want to go to the hospital!"
"But there is blood on you, you are injured."
"It's not mine. I-I'm not injured. I-I want to go home, not to the hospital!"
When Ji Xiuran heard the word "go home," his heart melted.
He admitted that he was really in trouble this time.
"Okay, I'll take you home!"
Before leaving, Zhao Ningchu suddenly thought of something and said in a panic: 'I, my dad...'
Ji Xiuran held her in his arms and whispered to comfort her: "It's okay, someone will take care of it, it's okay!"
After walking out of the warehouse, Lu Xiao greeted him: "How's it going?"
"Take care of it, I'll take her home first!"
After leaving these words, he hugged Zhao Ningchu and went back.
Lu Xiao looked at Ji Xiuran's appearance and felt a little confused.
I have known Ji Xiuran for almost ten years, and this is the first time I have seen Ji Xiuran like this.
Sure enough, love is a powerful force.
Yulongyuan
Ji Xiuran carried Zhao Ningchu back to the villa, and Zhao Ningchu hung on Ji Xiuran's body like a koala.
'We're home.'
Zhao Ningchu raised her eyes, looked at the surroundings dullly, and jumped off Ji Xiuran without saying a word.
Ji Xiuran quickly said: "I took you to take a bath, there are blood stains on your body."
Zhao Ningchu looked down at the blood on his body, his eyes fell on his abdomen, and then shook his head slightly: "I can do it myself!"
After saying that, he went upstairs on his own.
Ji Xiuran was worried about her current condition, so he followed her in.
Zhao Ningchu walked into the bathroom and saw Ji Xiuran also coming in. He said calmly: "You, please go out, I want to take a shower."
"Achu, do you need my help?"
Zhao Ningchu shook his head.
Ji Xiuran still said without giving up: "I'm right at the door. If you need help, just call me!"
Zhao Ningchu hummed and closed the bathroom door dully.
She turned on the faucet in the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.
The originally dull expression gradually changed.
There was a sparkle in his eyes.
She looked down at her slightly bulging belly and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that it got passed by in a blur.
Because she knew Ji Xiuran was guarding the door, Zhao Ningchu didn't dare to delay any longer, fearing that Ji Xiuran would suddenly rush in after she had been bathing for a long time, and it would be all over if he saw her belly.
In about ten minutes, Zhao Ningchu came out wearing a bathrobe.
Sure enough, Ji Xiuran had been standing guard at the door, and when he saw Zhao Ningchu coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If Zhao Ningchu had come out a few minutes late, he would have rushed in.
"Has it been washed?"
Ji Xiuran spoke.
Zhao Ningchu nodded slightly, but the expression on his face was still dull.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Do you have a headache?"
Zhao Ningchu shook his head, his eyes fell on his blood-stained clothes, and whispered: "You, you go and wash it, there is blood!"
Ji Xiuran did not go in, but asked her if she was hungry.
Zhao Ningchu didn't speak or nod.
Ji Xiuran continued: "I have asked Su Yang to bring food over. Please wait for a while."
"Go, wash up!"
"Okay, then be good and I'll go wash it now."
Ji Xiuran's voice was like coaxing a child, extremely gentle.
When Zhao Ningchu heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, she quickly walked to the bed, took out her cell phone that had been turned off and turned it on.
Sure enough, there were more than a dozen missed calls, including from Jiang Cheng and Gu Ran.
Just as Zhao Ningchu was about to call Jiang Cheng, her phone vibrated.
It was Gu Ran calling.
She turned around and glanced at the bathroom in panic, then walked to the balcony and answered the phone.
"Hey, Ranran..."
When Gu Ran heard Zhao Ningchu's voice over there, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then yelled: "Zhao Ningchu, what's the matter with you? Do you know how worried I am about you today? I'll wait for you for a whole day, but I can't contact you.
Since I couldn’t see anyone, I thought, I thought…”
While talking, Gu Ran cried on the other side of the phone.
Zhao Ningchu said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Ranran, I didn't mean to let you go, something happened."
"What happened? Did Ji Xiuran know that you were leaving today and locked you up?"
Zhao Ningchu said calmly: "I was kidnapped."
"What? Kidnapping?"
Gu Ran's loud voice made Zhao Ningchu's head hurt. She took the phone away from her ear and it took a while before she regained her composure.
'I'm fine now, don't worry!'
"Then you, are you still leaving?"
Hearing this, Zhao Ningchu subconsciously looked towards the bathroom and continued: "Well, I'll look for an opportunity next time."
"Who kidnapped you? Did you call the police?"
Zhao Ningchu took a while before speaking: "Zhao Zhenguo, my dad~"
"Damn, that old immortal doesn't have any humanity left."
Just as Zhao Ningchu was about to say something, Jiang Cheng's call came in. She quickly said: "I've called, I won't talk to you anymore, hang up!"
After saying that, he hung up Gu Ran's call and answered Jiang Cheng's call.
"Hey, Mr. Jiang."
"What happened to you today? Why didn't you get on the boat?"
"Sorry, something happened."
Zhao Ningchu told what happened, and Jiang Cheng was also a little surprised: "You were kidnapped? Who did it?"
Who did it?
At first, Zhao Ningchu thought it was just Zhao Zhenguo and those who borrowed money from loan sharks, but when he heard what the scarred man said later, he immediately felt that it was not simple.
Zhao Zhenguo didn't even know he was being used.
Who was the person who kidnapped her?
Is it really Shaoxing?
Zhao Ningchu was very confused and had no clue at all.
"It doesn't matter who did it, as long as I'm fine now."
"Where's Ji Xiuran?"
"He saved me."
"and you……"
Zhao Ningchu knew what Jiang Cheng wanted to say, so she interrupted: "Mr. Jiang, can we talk about this later?"
"You don't want to leave, do you?"
"No, my mind is a little confused right now, so I don't want to think so much."
After saying that, he heard the sound of water in the bathroom stop, and Zhao Ningchu quickly said: "Ji Xiuran is here, I'll hang up first."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Ji Xiuran walked out and saw Zhao Ningchu standing on the balcony. He subconsciously stepped forward and pulled her into his arms, shouting angrily: "What are you doing?"
Zhao Ningchu was stunned by his yelling, and it took him a long time to react.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ji Xiuran's actions were probably too drastic.
"Do you want to jump off the building, Zhao Ningchu? Are you so cowardly that you will seek death if something happens to you?"
When Zhao Ning first heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
So Ji Xiuran's behavior just now was that she was seeking death.
"Ji Xiuran, I didn't want to jump off the building, I..."
"Are you still making excuses?"
Zhao Ningchu:......
"No, I just stood here and made a phone call."
After saying that, he raised his cell phone.
Ji Xiuran let her go with some embarrassment.
"I, I thought..."
Zhao Ningchu looked at Ji Xiuran's helpless look and laughed out loud.
"why are you laughing?"
Zhao Ningchu shook his head: "No, I just think you are a bit cute like this!"
Ji Xiuran's face turned cold: "Are you looking for death? If it weren't for the fact that you were kidnapped, I would have dealt with you long ago."
When Zhao Ningchu heard the word "kidnapping", he was stunned.
Neither of them spoke.
After a while, Zhao Ningchu felt that her feet were numb, so she turned and walked towards the bedroom.
At this time, there were car lights coming from outside, and Ji Xiuran said: "Su Yang has brought food. Go downstairs and have something to eat. You haven't eaten for a day, so you must be starving."
Zhao Ningchu did not go downstairs, but looked at Ji Xiuran: "Ji Xiuran, why don't you ask me what happened in the warehouse?"
Ji Xiuran's expression changed: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. It's all over."
"No, I want to say it!"
Ji Xiuran stood in front of him: "Okay, then you say it and I'll listen."
Zhao Ningchu walked towards the bed, sat down, looked up at him, and spoke word by word.
"They kidnapped me. At first I thought they were asking for money. After calling you, the gangster said that someone gave him 200,000 to have sex with me.
He touched my face, bit my neck, and tore my clothes..."
When Ji Xiuran heard this, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
When she saw Zhao Ningchu, her clothes were messy and even torn.
He kept holding back and didn't ask further because he didn't want Zhao Ningchu to recall those painful things.
But now Zhao Ningchu's tone is very flat, as if he is telling someone else's story.
"do not talk."
Ji Xiuran spoke with difficulty.
Needless to say, he knew what happened next?
At this moment, he really hated himself.
"Ji Xiuran, what are you afraid of?"
Ji Xiuran didn't speak, and Zhao Ningchu continued: "Do you think I was raped?"
Ji Xiuran's eyes fell on the girl, looking at the red mark on her neck, and clenched his hands tightly into fists.
"It's in the past!"
When Zhao Ningchu heard this sentence, he suddenly understood what?
She chuckled softly: "Ji Xiuran, do you not believe that I am innocent?"
Ji Xiuran shook his head and said nothing.
"You still don't believe it, do you?"
"Achu, stop talking, and stop thinking, no matter what you become, I will marry you.
When Zhao Ning first heard this, she suddenly laughed.
A person as proud as Ji Xiuran would actually say such things. Even if he was defiled and unclean, he would marry her.
Zhao Ningchu should be moved, moved Ji Xiuran not to dislike his own filth.
But as he smiled, Zhao Ningchu's tears fell.
From beginning to end, Ji Xiuran never believed her.
From Lu Ze to the child to now, Ji Xiuran has never believed in her innocence.
