Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

The ride-hailing car stopped in front of Jiang Wan, and the driver rolled down the window.

"Ms. Jiang, your phone number ends in 7517."

After verifying the information, Jiang Wan casually opened the back door of the car.

To everyone's surprise, what came into view was a couple hugging and kissing each other passionately.

The boy clicked his tongue in annoyance when his actions were interrupted.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone else dating before?"

Jiang Wan curled her lip in disgust. Who hasn't been in a relationship?

She had the best love affair in the world!

Seeing that Jiang Wan didn't move, the driver impatiently urged her on.

"Are you going or not? It's a rideshare, not a private car. It's so cheap, don't be picky, let's go."

Jiang Wan gritted her teeth, sat in the front row, and kept her eyes straight ahead the whole way.

The sucking sounds from the back seat were too loud, so the driver sighed and turned on the car stereo.

Magical opposition.

Half an hour later.

"arrive."

To Jiang Wan, those two simple words sounded like heavenly music.

She paid the fare and quickly got off the bus.

Jiang Wan's place has cheap rent, but the location is relatively remote.

It's fine during the day, but after 10 p.m., you can't see a soul in the neighborhood.

Moreover, this area is close to the edge of the city, with a diverse population and few security cameras.

She had seen in the group chat a few days ago that two girls from out of town who worked at a bar in the neighborhood had their bags snatched when they came back from their night shift.

During the resistance, one of the girls was stabbed twice in the abdomen, and her spleen ruptured.

The more Jiang Wan thought about it, the more frightened she became. She quickened her pace, the thumping of her high heels sounding even more crisp in the dead of night.

But what you fear most is what happens most often.

Two burly men, shirtless, emerged from the bushes nearby.

The two men carried bottles of liquor and tilted their heads back to drink as they walked.

They hadn't walked far when they saw Jiang Wan. The two exchanged a glance and then staggered toward her.

Jiang Wan turned and ran, and almost simultaneously, the sound of running could be heard behind her.

She mustered her courage and glanced back; sure enough, the two men were chasing her!

The distance is getting closer and closer.

Jiang Wan's wild beating continued, a chill ran down her spine as if countless icy hands were roaming over her back, and her knees began to buckle uncontrollably.

She ran and shouted, trying to attract the attention of passersby and vehicles.

But at this time, there are no pedestrians left, and even passing vehicles are rushing by in a hurry, so who would bother to look at the roadside?

Jiang Wan was in despair. Her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly, and her legs were trembling so badly she felt like she was about to collapse.

Suddenly, her vision blurred, and she bumped into an embrace filled with the crisp scent of pine.

Two arms held her firmly in place.

She was startled and quickly looked up.

All that could be seen were Lu Jingshi's tightly pursed lips and his smoothly defined jawline.

A sudden surge of ecstasy coursed through Jiang Wan's skin like an electric current, causing her to hug Lu Jingshi tightly and blurt out.

"husband!"

Lu Jingshi's eyes widened in shock. He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and gently pushed her away.

"Get in the car."

Lu Jingshi grabbed her wrist and ran towards the Mercedes parked on the side of the road.

Just as he reached the car, two drunk men chased after him.

At the critical moment, Lu Jingshi opened the passenger door and pushed Jiang Wan into it.

He stayed outside the car and quickly pressed the lock button on the sensor area.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Wan instinctively tried to open the door, but Lu Jingshi blocked it with his body.

"Don't make things worse, call the police!"

Jiang Wan realized what was happening, quickly took out her phone, and dialed 110.

Suddenly, the sound of a bottle shattering could be clearly heard through the window and into the car.

Jiang Wan suddenly looked up and saw a line of blood winding down Lu Jingshi's forehead, not passing his handsome eyebrows and eyes, and dripping down his chin.

The shards of broken glass in the drunkard's hand nearly pierced his body several times. But he remained stubbornly outside the passenger door, refusing to move an inch.

Jiang Wan's rationality and composure completely collapsed in that instant, her mind filled with the crimson glimpse of Lu Jingshi's eyes.

Just like the last time I saw him five years ago.

He had just come off the operating table when he saw his breakup text message.

Ignoring the danger, she ripped off the IV tube from her hand and blocked her way to the airport at the hospital entrance, loudly questioning him.

Blood seeped from the wound on her waist, its bright red color piercing through the white gauze, causing her heart to ache.

She could only force herself to stay calm, coldly pushing him down and turning to get into the car.

"Knock knock".

A knock on the car window brought Jiang Wan back to her senses. She saw Lu Jingshi pointing anxiously at the steering wheel.

The shape of your lips is saying -- drive fast!

no way!

Jiang Wan wiped away her tears, quickly rummaged through her bag and pulled out pepper spray, holding it in her hand.

Then he climbed from the passenger seat to the back seat and opened the car door.

"Who told you to get down here? Go back!"

Lu Jingshi freed one hand to reach out and pull Jiang Wan.

But another drunkard was closer to her. He scrambled to his feet and lunged at her.

"Jiang Wan!"

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and kept her composure.

When the man got close, she raised her hand and sprayed him with a torrent of spittle into his eyes.

"Ah! It's so spicy!"

The man let out a painful groan, covering his eyes with one hand while still groping for Jiang Wan with the other.

She seized the opportunity and kicked out, hitting the man squarely in the groin.

With his vital point struck, the man let out a deafening scream, clutching his lower abdomen and rolling on the ground.

Lu Jingshi froze for half a second, and while the other person was still stunned, he punched him hard in the eyebrow bone.

The man groaned and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, a spray of mist hit him in the face.

First came a cool sensation, then my eyes burned with intense pain, and I clutched my head, crying out in agony.

Suddenly, the wailing of police sirens came from afar.

Jiang Wan suddenly relaxed, her arms and legs trembling uncontrollably.

She leaned against the car body and gave Lu Jingshi a relieved smile.

Lu Jingshi's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and there was a hint of heartache hidden in them that even he did not notice.

Did she train in the US to improve her skills?

He took two steps back, wanting to lean against the car door to rest for a while, but suddenly everything went black.

He only had time to see Jiang Wan rushing towards him in a panic...

A hospital bed in the city's central hospital.

Lu Jingshi lay there quietly, his head wrapped in thick gauze.

His face was frighteningly pale, and he had long lost his former cold arrogance.

Jiang Wan held his hand, tears streaming down her face, each drop landing on the back of Lu Jingshi's hand.

Jiang Wan felt a slight tremor in her hand and was overjoyed. She immediately pressed the call bell by the bedside.

A male doctor wearing a white coat and a mask walked in.

"Doctor, he just moved. Will he wake up soon?"

The male doctor opened Lu Jingshi's eyelids to examine him, then pinched the back of his hand and twisted it around forcefully.

Lu Jingshi remained unresponsive on the hospital bed.

Jiang Wan panicked: "Doctor, his hand really moved just now..."

"The head injury caused a mild concussion, so it won't be easy for him to wake up. Even if he does wake up, he must remember not to get angry or emotionally agitated for a month... no, for six months."

The male doctor gave instructions, which Jiang Wan noted down one by one.

"Alright, I'll prescribe some brain-boosting medicine for him. I'll watch over things here; you go pay and pick up the medication."

Jiang Wan took the bill and went to pay the fee.

In the ward, the male doctor quickly took off his mask and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Alright, stop pretending, they've gone downstairs."

Lu Jingshi, who had just kept his eyes closed, miraculously opened them now.

"Incompetent doctor, why prescribe brain-boosting medication for a concussion?"

He stood up, touched the back of his left hand that had been pinched until it was red, and his dark eyes, as deep as an icy pool, swept over the man beside him.

"Shen Juan, you took advantage of the situation to do something underhanded."

Shen Juan chuckled: "How about that, buddy? Pretty good, right? She's had to go along with you, her savior, for the past six months."

He sat down next to Lu Jingshi, his face sparkling with gossip.

"Young Master Lu, you're quite something. You're tired of beauties like Fang Tian, ​​so you've come up with this innocent little flower for a change. She's really lovely, so pitiful and charming."

Lu Jingshi's expression changed abruptly, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

"Shut up!"

Shen Juan, oblivious to the danger, said, "But you should be careful. When this kind of innocent girl gets infatuated, she'll act like she's going to die, and it won't be easy for her to get away."

Lu Jingshi raised an eyebrow with a self-deprecating smile: "Others might do that, but she would never."

"Oh? Young Master Lu is that confident?"

"Shen Juan, she is... Jiang Wan."
