Marriage Seduction Addiction

Hearing Tang Xu's words, Ning Hui was still somewhat stunned, or perhaps he still couldn't quite believe it—

Having already served time in prison was enough punishment, so why should he still face Jiang Muchen's revenge?
Seeing his expression, Tang Xu didn't intend to say anything more and turned to leave.

Ning Hui's mind was still in a daze. Seeing that Tang Xu was about to leave, he became anxious and, without thinking of anything else, stepped forward to grab Tang Xu.

However, before he could get close to Tang Xu, the man who was originally standing by the steps suddenly took two steps back while talking on the phone, bumping into Ning Hui again and separating him from Tang Xu once more.

After this happened twice in a row, Ning Hui immediately flew into a rage, yelling, "Are you fucking blind?"

"I'm sorry, I really didn't see it," the man apologized immediately.

Ning Hui glanced at Tang Xu's departing figure and hurriedly chased after him. He glared at him fiercely and was about to leave when the man suddenly grabbed him.

"Are you alright? If you're injured, you should still go to the hospital for a check-up, so everyone can have peace of mind."

"I'm not injured, you don't need to worry about me!"

As Ning Hui spoke, he tried to break free from him, but the next moment, he found that the man's hand was still tightly gripping his arm.

Although Ning Hui was thin, he was still a grown man and not completely powerless.

However, the man controlled him with just one hand, giving him no chance to get closer to Tang Xu.

As Tang Xu's figure disappeared into the distance, the man grabbed Ning Hui and pulled him to a secluded corner.

“Miss Tang is not someone you should associate with.” The man grabbed him by the collar. “If you dare to harass her again, you’ll have a hard time. This is a warning; next time it won’t be so comfortable.”

Ning Hui was somewhat taken aback.

He seemed completely surprised to find that Tang Xu actually had bodyguards protecting her at all times.

Before he could react, the man had already withdrawn his hand, turned around, and strode away.

Ning Hui stood there, somewhat stunned, finding it hard to process the information he had received in just a few minutes.

While he was puzzled as to who Tang Xu's bodyguard was, what truly unsettled him were the things Tang Xu had said to him.

Ning Hui finally managed to get out of the banquet hall, but Tang Xu had already disappeared.

He stood by the roadside, somewhat dazed, not having had time to carefully consider what Tang Xu had said, when suddenly a car screeched to a halt in front of him. Two people got out, shoved him into the car, and sped away.

At the same time, Tang Xu's car had just turned onto a less crowded road when it was suddenly cut off and stopped by another car.

Two men got out of the car, one on each side, and came to Tang Xu's car.

However, before the two sides could exchange any words, two other cars suddenly drove up and surrounded Tang Xu's car and the other car.

Tang Xu was sitting in her car when she saw three cars blocking her way. She was wondering who would use such a big show of force against her when she suddenly saw the two men in the first car confronting the two cars that followed.

Tang Xu was a little confused at first, until she recognized that two of the people in the two cars that followed were the same two she had met in the elevator earlier.

This made her even more confused.

What on earth is going on here?
Before figuring out what was going on, Tang Xu didn't make any rash moves, but simply sat in the car observing the situation outside.

After a brief standoff, the two men who had blocked her way earlier quickly gave up and returned to their own cars.

The two cars that followed then moved aside, and after watching the other car drive away, the two cars remained parked on the side of the road, as if waiting for something.

From beginning to end, no one said a word to Tang Xu, as if it was a conflict between the two groups and had nothing to do with her.

Tang Xu sat in the car for a while longer to observe before restarting the car and driving off.

While driving, she looked in the rearview mirror.

The two cars that had been waiting on the side of the road started up after she started her car, and followed her car at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Because it was nighttime, after driving for a while, she gradually lost the ability to distinguish between the two vehicles.

Tang Xu went straight back to Royal Bay.

She had no idea how long those two cars had followed her.

The next day, she found out who one of the groups was.

She was attending a business dinner that day, but as soon as she arrived at the venue, someone stopped her.

It was Jiang Muchen's assistant, Tan Siyi.

"Madam," Tan Siyi addressed her as before, "Mr. Jiang wants to see you."

"Really?" Tang Xu only replied, "Then I'll check my schedule later and see when I'm free."

After speaking, she was about to step forward again when Tan Siyi stepped in front of her, blocking her way, and said, "Mr. Jiang is right here." "Oh," Tang Xu replied again, "But I'm busy right now, can't you see?"

After saying that, Tang Xu didn't linger and walked straight into the elevator.

However, even as the elevator doors closed, Tang Xu was unable to press the button for the floor she wanted to go to, while the elevator continued to ascend floor by floor.

Finally, the elevator stopped at the top floor and opened the doors.

Without even thinking, Tang Xu knew whose handiwork this was.

She closed her eyes, exhaled slightly, and finally stepped out of the elevator.

Outside the elevator was a completely open space, and in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, on a large and imposing sofa, only Jiang Muchen was sitting.

Hearing the noise, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Tang Xu standing in front of him, his eyes filled with coldness.

"You really have quite the airs." Jiang Muchen's voice was as cold and deep as ever. "It's really not easy to see you."

She and Jiang Muchen hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she didn't expect that when they met, the atmosphere would still be so familiar.

“Mr. Jiang is too modest.” Tang Xu turned to look at the elevator that had brought him up. “For you, wasn’t this an easy task?”

Hearing Tang Xu's mocking tone, Jiang Muchen's eyes darkened, and he threw a stack of photos at Tang Xu's feet.

Tang Xu looked down and saw Ning Hui and herself in the photo.

Judging from the situation, Ning Hui is probably already in his hands, and it's even possible that Ning Hui was arrested right after meeting her yesterday.

So it's obvious that the people who intercepted her yesterday were also sent by Jiang Muchen, just like now, to interrogate her.

As expected, Jiang Muchen spoke up the next moment: "What other explanation do you have?"

Ning Hui found her as soon as he was released from prison. In the incident back then, she really did not seem to be innocent at all.

Tang Xu glanced at the photos and chuckled.

"What else do I need to explain?" Tang Xu raised her head again, meeting his gaze directly. "Isn't what you, Jiang Muchen, have decided already an established fact? If that's the case, why bother interrogating me? Why not just sentence me directly?"

"So you admit it, right?" Jiang Muchen asked coldly.

Tang Xu laughed again, and instead of answering, asked, "Is Miss Jiang feeling unwell again lately? If I admit it, would Miss Jiang feel better, or would you, Mr. Jiang, feel better?"

This couldn't be clearer.

She was being sarcastic.

It mocks Jiang Muchen's anger every time he comes to interrogate him.

Yes, every time Jiang Wanning makes the slightest move, it seems to affect Jiang Muchen's nerves, and in the end, it is always Tang Xu who bears the brunt of this anger.

Time and time again, Tang Xu had become almost numb.

Jiang Wanning was a victim from beginning to end. She had no ill will towards Tang Xu, and Tang Xu could not possibly take his anger out on her.

Jiang Muchen was an utterly incomprehensible madman, and Tang Xu was equally too lazy to bother communicating with a madman.

Therefore, facing Jiang Muchen's increasingly gloomy face, Tang Xu remained calm and composed, "After I admit it, what are you going to do to punish me, Mr. Jiang? Or is the reason you called me to this top floor just to punish me? What can I do to atone for my sins? Jump off from here?"

As Tang Xu spoke, she walked towards the window.

Jiang Muchen suddenly strode forward, grabbed Tang Xu's arm, and his eyes, besides anger and coldness, also seemed to contain some other emotions.

He looked at Tang Xu and felt that she was very different from what she had been six months ago.

She wasn't like this back then.

Although it's impossible to pinpoint the exact difference, Tang Xu back then, at least, didn't exude the kind of... calm madness she has now.

Tang Xu looked down at the arm he was gripping, then laughed, "What do you mean? Should I jump or not?"

Jiang Muchen just stared at her, his breathing growing heavier.

Just then, a clear fire alarm rang out from around the corner—

In an instant, the entire building was filled with the piercing sound of alarm bells and a panicked crowd.

Jiang Muchen, however, still wouldn't let go of Tang Xu.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Jiang Muchen's bodyguard rushed over. "Mr. Jiang, there's a fire alarm. For safety's sake, please evacuate via the stairs." (End of Chapter)
