Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

The canteen of the Imperial Capital Hospital.

As soon as Su Xue sat down, she handed a set of keys to Tang Junyao. "Well, this car is in great condition in all aspects, so you can drive it without worry. But be careful though."

The car belonged to her older brother, and Su Xue had the family driver deliver it. She wasn't a very skilled driver and wouldn't dare buy a sports car.

She stopped eating, put the keys in her pocket, and said, "Thanks."

Su Xue glanced at Tang Junyao and said, "Yaoyao, you can actually go to Young Master Ji. As long as he takes action, Uncle Tang won't dare to touch you again."

Having grown up together, Su Xue knew Tang's family's character all too well. Apart from the son, who was normal, none of the family members had normal values. She was really afraid that they might do something to harm her best friend in the future.

Her hand holding the chopsticks paused. It would be a lie to say she wasn't heartbroken. It seemed like she couldn't ask anyone for help except Su Xue. When she was bullied as a child, she would fight back herself to avoid worrying her grandfather. Later, it was Su Xue's brother who stepped in to scare away those who bullied her, and after that, no one bullied her anymore.

Her current marriage isn't a real marriage at all. How could a dignified Master Ji possibly care about such trivial matters? She's overthinking it. It's better to rely on yourself than on others.

"What are you thinking? Look at us, we're a normal married couple, do your roommates know that?"

Su Xue didn't stay serious for long before she started rambling again, "You two really sleep in separate rooms all the time? That means you can't seduce him at all. I'd like to know how many abs Young Master Ji has."

Tang Junyao choked on her soup. "Cough cough... Stop with your filthy thoughts. We can still have a proper conversation."

"You're like a Buddha, so detached from worldly affairs. You live under the same roof with such a handsome guy every day, and you're not even tempted? Do you think your eyes are on the top of your head?"

"Miss Su, are you sure you've got the question wrong? Come here, look at me, aren't I quite good-looking?"

Su Xue glanced at her beautiful best friend and nodded earnestly, replying, "Yes, you're beautiful. Haven't you always been pretty?"

"So, if Young Master Ji doesn't like me, why should I bother getting close and making a fool of myself?"

Originally, she planned to live a good life after getting married, hoping to avoid divorce if possible, and she even hoped that Ji Hancheng would take a liking to her.

But......

When the agreement was laid out clearly in front of her, how could she not be so clear-headed? The other party had already positioned herself as a scheming woman, let alone being interested in her.

"Ah, it's alright, he's just blind. If he weren't blind, would he not like you? I bet Young Master Ji will definitely fall for you and won't want a divorce."

Tang Junyao was speechless for a moment. "Hurry up and eat and rest. You still have to go to work this afternoon."

She thought Su Xue was being delusional. The day after they got their marriage certificate, she moved in and couldn't wait to ask her to sign an agreement, as if she was afraid that Su Xue was after her money. So the date on the agreement was the day before they got their marriage certificate, like she was guarding against a thief.

However, she still didn't tell Su Xue about it, since three months was a very short time anyway.

It's almost time to leave work.

She was about to send a text message to Assistant Xu to tell her that she wouldn't be going back for the next few days, but her hand, which had just taken out her phone to type, paused.

Forget it, I won't say anything more. He doesn't care whether I go back or not, so why bother? I put my phone back in my pocket.

At the same time, they were also considering whether or not to return to the Imperial Garden.

Forget it, I should just go back. The two maids at the Tang residence are getting old and can't stand being harassed by those people. With that thought in mind, she immediately sent a message to her colleague, saying she would cover her shift for free and that she didn't need to come in tonight.

It's easier to get things done under the cover of darkness. The route back to the Imperial Garden during the day is too obvious. I can't let my scumbag father know where I am now.

Driving faster at night can help you outrun people.

At 12:15, just as she got into the car and started the engine, the motorcycle in the rearview mirror, which thought it was well hidden, began to follow her.

A smile curved her lips, a smile that was both mocking and bittersweet, because this was someone sent by her own family.

They've been watching me all day; otherwise, why would they have followed me as soon as I got on the bus? They've been waiting for me to appear.

It's so cold, it's really tough for these people to work so hard. People die for money, birds die for food.

Today, instead of taking the usual route, she took a secluded side road, which she discovered by chance. The road had only dim streetlights on both sides, no surveillance cameras, and no passing vehicles.

The car sped up to 140 km/h and kept going faster. The motorcyclist behind, afraid of losing her, shouted, "Hurry up, you bastard! Don't lose her! Is this woman crazy? Why is she driving so fast?"

The motorcyclist said, "Don't make a fuss, we'll get that woman to pay more later."

The people behind were overjoyed when they heard about the money. Five million! That would take several deals to earn normally.

As long as the employer is disabled or in a coma, there is no risk of going to jail. What a great job!

At a bend, Tang Junyao suddenly braked sharply and drifted, landing sideways with fluid movements. The motorcyclists following closely behind were so frightened that their faces contorted. Despite their skill, they quickly abandoned their motorcycles and jumped off.

As expected, she saw the motorcycle overturn and got out of the driver's seat.

It was clear that the other party was a trained fighter; their jump from the vehicle was swift and agile. They rolled over without sustaining any injuries and got up smoothly.

Perhaps her actions angered them, for they picked up iron bars and charged straight at her, their aura filled with murderous intent.

Ji Hancheng disliked waiting and always took this small road with Xu Mingkai. Nothing had ever happened before, but today, as soon as they reached the bend, they saw a woman standing there stiffly, with two men, each holding an iron rod, ready to fight.

Oh, not fighting, but beating someone up.

Xu Mingkai felt a surge of compassion and tentatively asked, "Young Master Ji, would you like to help?" It was too dark to see the other person's face clearly, but her long hair indicated that she was a woman with a good figure.

A cold, deep voice rang out in the enclosed space, "Turn off the car lights."

"Huh? Young Master Ji, you're really not going to help? This girl is definitely going to die." The iron rod is that thick, is it okay to just be a bystander?

A confident tone rang out again in the carriage, "She can win."

Xu Mingkai: "........." How could he have predicted this? Could it be that Young Master Ji knows this woman?

As she turned the corner, before the motorcycle overturned, she caught a glimpse of a woman sitting in the driver's seat. It wasn't until she opened the door and got off that she saw her face clearly, which surprised her.

The way she got out of the car, her face and eyes were full of hostility and murderous intent. She wouldn't have gotten out of the car blindly if she didn't have some skills. For some reason, his first impression was that she wasn't stupid.

There was nothing I could do; my boss said I couldn't get off the bus, so I couldn't just get off.

He remained a quiet observer, but he was also curious about Ji Shao's guess.

Seeing the two men rushing towards her, a playful smile appeared on her lips.

A stick swung down at her, but she nimbly dodged it from the side, turned around, and delivered a swift kick that struck the man squarely in the face with great force, sending him sprawling to the ground.

The other man, seeing her skill, dared not be careless and fought her with all his might. She punched him in the back of the head, but she didn't stop there. In a few moves, she broke one of his arms and kicked him in the chest.

One fell down, and the other, seeing how ruthless this woman was, was a little scared, but thinking of the five million, he still rushed forward.

Before the iron rod even got close to her, the man was struck hard by the rod she had picked up, and immediately cried out in pain.

She exuded a chilling and murderous aura, like a queen with one foot planted on the man's cheek, looking down at him and saying, "Go back and tell Tang Xin and Chen Lan that they want the inheritance for their next life, and also your medical expenses..."

The two men's voices, broken by fear, trembled in the night as they said in unison, "No need, no need, we'll go ourselves."

"Don't be so nervous. I just wanted to give you a suggestion. Did Chen Lan and the others not tell you that I can fight when they asked you to do something?"

The two nodded vigorously. The employer hadn't actually said anything, only that a woman was easy to deal with.

"Yes, that's right. Since the other party didn't give you the correct information and caused you to get injured, shouldn't you ask them for compensation for medical expenses? You're welcome, I'm just that kind."

After saying that, he opened the driver's seat, leaving the two of them with a cloud of exhaust fumes.

Xu Mingkai couldn't help but admire his boss's sharp eyes. "Young Master Ji, how did you figure out that this woman was skilled in martial arts? That's awesome! Her movements were so fluid and smooth, she didn't give the other party a chance to make a move. She took them down in just a few moves. I calculated that it was only 10 minutes and 8 seconds. She took down two men. Impressive."

Assistant Xu, unaware that she was the young mistress of the house, continued to chatter on and on.

Ji Hancheng's eyes darkened. He had taken in every single movement. This skill was not something that could be acquired overnight. There seemed to be many unknowns about her waiting to be revealed.

It's like opening a blind box.

After her car drove away, he calmly instructed, "Drive."

"Hey, Mr. Ji, do you want me to look into that girl from earlier? I think she's a perfect match for you, she's so cool." Xu Mingkai was still immersed in the scene of Tang Junyao taking down two men and couldn't pull himself out of it, admiring her immensely.

"Are you free lately? You could consider going to South Africa to exchange for A-Yuan." He closed his eyes and pondered, finding Xu Mingkai a bit noisy.

Xu Mingkai hurriedly explained, "No, no, I'm quite busy. Young Master Ji, I still can't bear to part with you."

Ji Hancheng slowly opened his eyes and gave him a cold look, which scared him into shutting up and driving seriously.
