After one night of indulgence, the abstinent tycoon kissed her every night with his hand on her hip.

Seeing Wang Cong's increasingly weak breathing on the ground, Jiang Zhi hurriedly said, "Ling Jingyuan, stop! If you keep hitting him, he'll be beaten to death."

Jiang Zhi didn't want to care about the life or death of the man on the ground, but she couldn't ignore Ling Jingyuan.

If he were to kill Wang Cong because of her, that would be a real problem.

Ling Jingyuan seemed not to hear Jiang Zhi's words. His eyes were cold as he continued to punch Wang Cong on the ground without any intention of stopping.

Soon, Wang Cong lay on the ground covered in blood, limp and without any struggle.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhi's face turned pale. She hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm, "Ling Jingyuan, stop hitting him, stop hitting him."

"Ling Jingyuan, stop hitting him..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan, who had been unleashing a barrage of punches, slowly stopped what he was doing, and his violent black eyes gradually calmed down.

He looked up slightly at Jiang Zhi, whose face was a little pale, then turned and went to the bathroom to turn on the tap and wash the blood off his hands.

He returned to the living room, carried Jiang Zhi back to her bedroom, and gently kissed her forehead.

"Pack your things, and come with me in a bit."

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then shook her head. She was in low spirits and her face was pale. She sat there with her head drooping, like a wounded and abandoned kitten.

"Ling Jingyuan, aren't you going to ask me anything...?"

"Jiang Zhi, you don't need to say anything, I know everything."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you."

After Ling Jingyuan finished speaking, he looked at her gently and coaxed her in a low voice, "You sleep for a while, I'm going out to make a phone call."

Twenty minutes later, the assistant arrived with a group of people and took the man, who was half-dead from the ground, away.

Seeing this, Ling Jingyuan's eyes darkened. He walked towards Jiang Zhi's bedroom and found that Jiang Zhi was still in the same position as when he left, staring blankly out the window.

At this moment, Jiang Zhi resembled a delicate, soulless doll—beautiful yet fragile.

Upon seeing this, Ling Jingyuan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he were being pricked by thousands of tiny needles, a pain so intense that he could hardly breathe.

"Jiang Zhi, Jiang Zhi."

Ling Jing quickly walked to Jiang Zhi's side and called out softly.

After a long while, Jiang Zhi slowly withdrew her gaze and looked up at Ling Jingyuan, but there was not a trace of life in her eyes.

Seeing this, Ling Jingyuan felt a pang of heartache. He gently lifted the person up and quickly left the room.

By the time Jiang Zhi snapped out of her daze, Ling Jingyuan had already carried her to his car. Ling Jingyuan remained silent the entire way, his expression cold and indifferent, the atmosphere around him heavy with tension.

As Jiang Zhi watched him start the car, she couldn't help but ask softly, "Mr. Ling, where are you taking me?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan glanced at Jiang Zhi and started the car. "Let's go to my house."

Jiang Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head, "President Ling, I'm not going to your house, let me go back..."

As soon as the car drove out of the underground parking lot and onto the road, Ling Jingyuan quickly turned the car with one hand and parked it on the side of the road. As soon as the car stopped, Ling Jingyuan grabbed Jiang Zhi by the back of her neck and kissed her fiercely.

Jiang Zhi was so startled by his sudden action that she forgot to react.

"Jiang Zhi, if you don't want the whole neighborhood to know that we kissed in the car tomorrow, then be obedient and come with me."

After saying that, Ling Jingyuan didn't give Jiang Zhi any chance to refuse and quickly started the car, merging into the traffic.

"President Ling, I don't..."

"Jiang Zhi, if you say another word, I'll stop the car and kiss you right now..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi's already pale face flushed slightly, whether from anger at Ling Jingyuan's words or something else.

Ling Jingyuan glanced at him and breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Zhi's face didn't seem as pale as before.

They soon arrived at Ling Jingyuan's mansion in the city center.

Without giving Jiang Zhi a chance to refuse, Ling Jingyuan parked the car, grabbed Jiang Zhi, and quickly entered the elevator.

Inside the elevator.

Ling Jingyuan's phone, which was inside his clothes, rang. Upon seeing this, Ling Jingyuan looked directly at Jiang Zhi.

"Please get my phone down."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi reached into his clothes and rummaged around for a while before pulling out her phone and holding it to his ear.

"Hey, I'm coming right away."

Ling Jingyuan hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Zhi with deep eyes.

Jiang Zhi was a little confused. Where was she?

Looking at the luxurious and spacious place before him, which seemed inhuman, Jiang Zhi was momentarily stunned. Ling Jingyuan truly lived up to his reputation as the head of a top-tier wealthy family; a wealthy family was indeed a wealthy family, and a top-tier family was indeed top-tier.

How many homes does he actually have?

Both are large villas and super luxurious single-level apartments.

Before she could think any further, the doorbell rang, and Ling Jingyuan opened the door, leading in a group of people who looked like doctors.

"Give her a thorough check-up to see if she's injured."

Just as Jiang Zhi was about to say that he was fine, two women led him into the room. Hearing the test results, Ling Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that he was alright.

After seeing the woman off, Ling Jingyuan returned to the living room and looked at the woman sitting on the sofa in a daze. He couldn't help but go up and hug her.

"Jiang Zhi, it's alright, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"You can stay here for the next few days. Your other place isn't safe. We'll talk about it after I've dealt with this matter."

"Now, don't think about anything. Go take a shower and then go back to bed for a good night's sleep, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi lowered her eyes and glanced at herself. She did want to take a shower; the thought of being pressed down on the sofa by Wang Cong and having her face touched by that man made her feel nauseous.

But she hadn't brought anything with her to Ling Jingyuan's house...

"Your toiletries are all provided, and I've already bought your clothes and they'll be here soon."

"Let's go, take a shower and get a good night's sleep."

After finishing his sentence, Ling Jingyuan picked up Jiang Zhi and headed towards the bathroom. He gave a brief explanation and then prepared to leave.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked intently at Jiang Zhi, as if he had just remembered something.

Do you need any free services?

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then shook her head, pushed the person out of the room, and locked the door.

Ling Jingyuan looked at the locked door and smiled faintly. The moment he turned around, his eyes turned cold, and he walked towards the balcony.

"Cripple him..."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Jingyuan let out a deep breath.

Thankfully she's alright today, otherwise he doesn't know what crazy things he might have done.

My phone vibrated; messages kept pouring into our small group chat with the three of us.

[Fu Libai: Where are you all? Come out. We're having a get-together tonight.]

[Zhou Siye: I'm free tonight, sure.]

Fu Libai: OK, same time and same place.

[Fu Libai: Where's the other person? Please answer if you see this, please answer if you see this.]

[Zhou Siye: Jingyuan, where is he? Want to get together tonight?]

Ling Jingyuan: I'm busy tonight.

He thought about it after posting it and couldn't help but post another one.

[Ling Jingyuan: You guys are having a get-together, I haven't had time lately.]

Fu Libai and Zhou Siye were both stunned when they saw the message sent by Ling Jingyuan. What did this guy do?

Is the Ling family going bankrupt? He's so busy!

[Fu Libai: Is your Ling family going bankrupt?]

[Ling Jingyuan: Don't worry, you won't live to see that day.]

Fu Libai: ...

vicious!

[Zhou Siye: What have you been busy with lately? I hardly ever see you.]

Ling Jingyuan's lips curled slightly: "We recently got a cat at home, so I need to take care of it."

Zhou Siye, Fu Libai: ...

What kind of cat needs President Ling to take care of it personally?

Isn't he the one who hates cats and dogs the most?

When did you start keeping a cat?

[Fu Libai: Something's fishy. Ling Jingyuan, are you hiding someone in your house?]

Ling Jingyuan: Guess...

Fu Libai and Zhou Siye both narrowed their eyes as they looked at the two words Ling Jingyuan had sent.

Ling Jingyuan put away his phone and stopped looking at the messages in the group. He glanced at the time and walked towards the bathroom.
