Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 172 Miss Tang, let's talk to him.
Jiang Muchen was naturally not satisfied with this result.

However, since Tang Xu had never met him, she did not directly witness his reaction.

Until late at night on the fourth day.

Tang Xu was in the room she had been staying in for the past few days, looking down at the message sent by Song Luobai on her phone.

"You're not planning to come back today, are you? I'll transfer your living expenses for next week."

It was just two simple sentences, but it was already a rare occurrence for him to take the initiative to send a message.

Tang Xu stared at the line of information for a while in a daze.

She hadn't expected to stay there for four days.

In fact, Jiang Muchen is not powerful enough to control everything. If she wanted to leave, she could actually come up with some ways.

But she gave up struggling and allowed herself to be trapped there for four whole days.

Are they waiting for something, hoping for something?

Tang Xu herself couldn't explain it, only knowing that the quiet of the past few days had made her calmer.

Indeed, one should not have expectations that are not appropriate, not even one in ten thousand.

As she was pondering how to escape this situation, a loud "bang" suddenly came from the doorway.

It sounded like someone had slammed a heavy punch into the door, followed by the sound of the lock turning.

She locked the door from the inside, and the person outside tried several times, but the lock wouldn't budge.

The next moment, there was another "bang".

This time, it felt like someone had kicked the door hard.

Tang Xu sat motionless on the edge of the bed.

The commotion outside the door continued for quite a while.

Tang Xu could almost picture how Jiang Muchen was kicking and banging on the door of this room from the outside.

He must have drunk too much again, that's why he acted so out of control.

Jiang Wanning's departure seems to have been a significant blow to him.

After a while, the annoying noise finally disappeared.

Tang Xu sat quietly for a long time, when suddenly she heard the sound of keys at the door.

She paused, then immediately sat up alertly, looking warily at the person who was opening the door.

Surprisingly, the person standing outside the door was Tan Siyi.

"Mrs."

Tan Siyi addressed her with the familiar form of address, and Tang Xu was about to correct her again when Tan Siyi said instead, "You can leave now."

Tang Xu almost doubted that she had misheard. "Really?"

Tan Siyi nodded and didn't say anything more.

Tang Xu stood up, walked to the door, and then asked again, "Where's Jiang Muchen?"

"Mr. Jiang has had too much to drink and has already gone to sleep."

Upon hearing this answer, Tang Xu immediately turned and walked out.

"I'll send a car to take you," Tan Siyi said.

"No need," Tang Xu replied without hesitation. "Isn't there a shuttle bus? I'll take the shuttle bus to the entrance and then take a taxi."

She fled almost without stopping, leaving the villa and quickly boarding a nearby shuttle bus, which drove towards the main gate of the villa complex.

On the way, Tang Xu hailed a car. When she got out of the gate, she saw a car parked by the roadside. She thought it was the car she had called and was about to go forward when she saw two people get out of the car and come forward to greet her. "Miss Tang!"

Tang Xu recognized the two people at a glance; she had seen them at the club before.

They were people who had "helped" her.

"It's so good to see you safe and sound!" one of them said. "Let me take you home."

Tang Xu looked at the two people in front of her who no longer intended to pretend, and took a small step back.

Seeing Tang Xu's reaction, the man quickly explained, "We're not bad people. We're here to protect you, Miss Tang." Tang Xu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Should I say thank you?"

The two exchanged a glance, seemingly unsure how to respond.

“I don’t need your protection,” Tang Xu said. “You did seem to have helped me a bit, but I could have handled those things myself. Please don’t follow me anymore.”

The two then understood what was going on, looked at Tang Xu, and said, "Miss Tang, we can't make that decision."

"Really?" Tang Xu said. "Then who can make that decision? Mr. Gao?"

The two people did not answer, but that was an implicit agreement.

Tang Xu nodded slowly, "Then please take me to see him, and I'll talk to him myself, okay?"

The two exchanged another glance, then one of them quickly turned around, strode away, and made a phone call.

The call was extremely quick, as if the two sides had reached an agreement after exchanging only a few words.

In the end, Tang Xu got into the two men's car.

The car traveled for a while, and she only vaguely knew that it was heading south; she could no longer discern the other directions.

Halfway through the journey, the car suddenly accelerated, speeding past a series of intersections.

I don't know how much time passed before I heard the two people in front of me say, "We've shaken them off."

Tang Xu then realized that there had been a car following them the whole time.

Come to think of it, how could Jiang Muchen just let her leave without any backup plan?

She was so angry that she forgot about this.

Indeed, some things are better left unthought of.

Just thinking about it a little is enough to disturb one's mind.

Tang Xu slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "Please take me home."

"Miss Tang?"

"I'll call Gao Yan and explain what happened today," Tang Xu said. "Let's skip meeting."

"No," said the person in the front row. "Mr. Gao instructed that you be taken there as soon as possible. We'll be there soon."

For no apparent reason, a sense of unease suddenly rose in Tang Xu's heart.

Soon the car arrived at a parking lot of a residential area. After getting out of the car, the two escorted Tang Xu into the elevator and swiped their cards to press the button for the 16th floor.

Tang Xu stood alone in the elevator, watching the floors rise, but the inexplicable anxiety in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

She didn't want to go up.

I really don't want to.

Tang Xu wanted to cancel the ascending command, but found that no matter how she pressed it, it didn't work.

While she was still working on it, the elevator silently stopped rising, and then the elevator doors slowly opened.

Gao Yan stood outside the elevator door, his face slightly pale. His usually bright eyes now looked empty and confused, and his most obvious emotions were tension and fear.

Before Tang Xu could react, Gao Yan had already grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the elevator.

The building has one apartment per floor, and the apartment door is right outside the elevator. Gao Yan pulled her directly into the apartment.

What came into view was a deserted apartment, which did not seem like Gao Yan's residence, but rather like an empty house.

Gao Yan then pulled her towards the bedroom.

All of this happened so suddenly that Tang Xu didn't even have time to think or resist before she was already in the bedroom.

There is only one bed in the bedroom.

There was a person lying on the bed, a person with a bare upper body, a bandage wrapped around his chest, and a face even paler than Gao Yan's.

Yan Shiyu.

At this moment, he was unconscious, and his furrowed brows and fine beads of sweat on his forehead showed that he was in great pain.

Tang Xu stood frozen by the bed, unable to move.

"Miss Tang, please talk to him, please, please talk to him..."
