After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

Upon hearing that Gu Ning had been kidnapped, Ye Chen led both overt and covert forces from across Jiangcheng to rush to her rescue, leaving Liu Ruxue feeling uneasy.

She returned from searching for Ye Chen with mixed feelings, only to be caught red-handed by Han Qiang.

"Slap, slap, slap..."

The belt in Han Qiang's hand rained down on her body, the pain almost making her soul leave her body.

But in her ears were the words of her biological parents, urging her to be good and to forget Ye Chen completely.

The couple's tone was full of heartache, as if saying these words would make the belt less painful when it was lashed against her.

Compared to Han Qiang's beating, the indifference of her biological parents was even more heartbreaking for Liu Ruxue.

Fortunately, Han Qiang was used to a life of debauchery and was not in good physical condition. He got tired of fighting in no time, threw down the belt, and sat on the sofa, panting heavily.

Only then did Liu Quan and Wang Meiling dare to come closer and check on her condition.

Seeing Liu Ruxue covered in red welts from being whipped, Wang Meiling felt heartbroken and burst into tears, sobbing as she held Liu Ruxue's head in her arms.

"Xue'er, please don't blame Young Master Han. It was you who was unfaithful to your wife first."

"As long as you behave well from now on, Young Master Han will definitely not lay a hand on you again."

Liu Ruxue stared blankly at her, as if she were seeing her own mother for the first time.

Liu Quan sighed and said, "Xue'er, don't blame your father and mother for being heartless. We had no choice. Ever since you broke off your engagement with Ye Chen and the Sun family was wiped out, many business partners have stopped cooperating with our Gu family."

Especially during the day, upon learning that Ye Chen could mobilize both overt and covert forces in Jiangcheng, and that the Gu family's most important business partner had also left us.

At this point, he looked up at Han Qiang, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Now, the only family we, the Gu family, can rely on is the Han family."

"It must be Ye Chen and those bastards from the Ye family who are secretly plotting against our Gu family. One day when they fall into my hands, I will make them wish they were dead." Wang Meiling's tone was full of malice.

Liu Ruxue could hardly believe these words. Just three days ago, the Gu Group was operating well and its upward momentum was very strong.

How could it be that just three days later, it was on the verge of bankruptcy?

But she didn't care about these things. When she was with Ye Chen, she never had to care about these things. Ye Chen would give her as much money as she wanted.

Even during the five years Ye Chen was missing, the Ye family never mistreated her or the Liu Group.

When she compared her situation then with her current one, countless sorrows welled up from her heart.

"What happens to the Liu Group is your business. Anyway, I will not marry Han Qiang. I was once the woman of the number one genius in Great Xia. Why would I fall for a good-for-nothing?"

"Xue'er, have you gone mad?"

Wang Meiling was shocked and quickly covered her mouth.

Liu Quan was so frightened that he immediately shouted, "Shut up! Han Qiang is the number one young master in Jiangcheng. Ye Chen used to be a prodigy, but now he's just an idiot. There's no comparison between the two!"

"Hehe...hehehe..."

Hearing his words, Liu Ruxue felt even more sorrowful.

She broke free from Wang Meiling's grasp, stared intently at Han Qiang, revealed her blood-stained teeth, and sneered at him.

"There is no comparison. When Brother Chen was lucid, he was the number one genius in the Great Xia Dynasty. Even if he is now mentally impaired, he would risk his life to rescue his wife if she was in danger."

She paused slightly at this point, her tone filled with resentment.

"Unlike some incompetent good-for-nothings who can do nothing but beat women to vent their emotions!"

"Bang!"

Han Qiang smashed the teacup in front of him and stood up abruptly.

Seeing this, Wang Meiling and Liu Quan thought he was going to hit Liu Ruxue again, so they quickly dodged to the sides.

"Hahaha......"

Liu Ruxue, however, threw her head back and laughed, taunting him wildly.

"Han Qiang, if you have the guts, then kill me. Brother Chen will definitely avenge me when he finds out. You're not even worth a hair on his head."

However, the expected beating did not come; instead, it was a psychological attack.

Han Qiang leaned down, pinched her chin with one hand, and forced her to look up at him.

His eyes were filled with anger and resentment, but a smile played on his lips.

"I admit that I am not as good as Ye Chen five years ago, and I would not risk my life for a slut like you."

But you've lost such a good Ye Chen forever. You abandoned him when he was at his most vulnerable and needed you the most, didn't you?"

"Don't you understand? You've already lost him forever!"

"You've lost him forever!"

These words echoed in Liu Ruxue's mind like a broken record, and waves of regret surged within her, one after another, until they finally formed a tsunami that devastated her.

"Ahhh...please stop talking!"

Liu Ruxue screamed, covered her ears, and collapsed to the ground in agony, convulsing.

Seeing her like this, Han Qiang was finally satisfied. He got up, dusted off his sleeves, and gave instructions to Liu Quan and his wife.

"Keep an eye on her. The engagement is the day after tomorrow, and I don't want today's incident to happen again."

Meeting his fierce gaze, Liu Quan and his wife trembled together.

"Don't worry, Young Master Han, I'll have people watching her 24/7. There won't be any problems," Liu Quan forced a smile.

"Walk!"

At Han Qiang's command, he left with a group of bodyguards.

Once they were in the car, Han Qiang's subordinate asked him curiously.

"Young Master Han, I think Liu Ruxue is just average. Why do you insist on marrying her?"

Han Qiang glared at him and snorted coldly.

"What do you mortals know? Liu Ruxue has a special physique. A powerful figure has taken a liking to her and is preparing to use her as a furnace."

He learned of this news by chance, which led him to decide to marry Liu Ruxue.

After the marriage, he would offer Liu Ruxue to that big shot. If he could win the big shot's favor, he would rise to great heights.

This subordinate had been with him since he was a teenager, and the two had a very close relationship, which is why he couldn't help but reveal such a secret plan.

Liu family.

"Xue'er, don't blame your parents for being heartless. We can't even come up with a penny right now, and your brother has 2 billion in gambling debts in Las Vegas."

If I can't pay it back within a month, I'll be dead!

Liu Ruxue glared at them through gritted teeth, "So you pushed me into that fire pit of the Han family? What kind of biased parents are you?"

"You wretched creature, shut your mouth!"

Liu Quan was furious. "The Han family is the most powerful family in Jiangcheng. You'll enjoy endless wealth and luxury if you marry into them. This is for your own good, so why are you blaming us?"

After saying that, he instructed the female bodyguard.

I need to watch over her 24/7, even when she goes to the bathroom, until the engagement banquet the day after tomorrow.

"Bang!"

The bedroom door slammed shut, and Liu Ruxue lay on the bed, recovering her strength, as she began to make plans in her mind.

"I can't accept my fate; I must find a way to escape!"

"I'm going to find Brother Chen. If I tell him that the Han family is planning to target the Gu family, he will definitely save me out of consideration for our past relationship."

Meanwhile.

At Li Muling's residence, a subordinate rushed over.

"Commander Ling, we have already found clues as you asked us to investigate the movements of the Liu and Han families. They are indeed plotting something."
