After being dumped by the diva, I was picked up by her arch-enemy.

After Huang Mao and his companions left, the small dark room fell into darkness again.

Jiang Yichen leaned back in the rusty iron chair, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing.

Once the footsteps outside had completely faded away, he began to try rotating his wrist.

The rough hemp rope dug tightly into the flesh, causing a burning pain.

Jiang Yichen's fingers traced the direction of the knot, trying to find a breakthrough.

A few minutes later, he stopped what he was doing, his brow furrowing slightly.

The other party's binding method was very professional.

The more you struggle, the tighter the knot will become.

Jiang Yichen stopped his futile struggles, relaxed his muscles, and began to close his eyes to rest and conserve his energy.

At this time, remaining calm is more important than blindly resisting.

........

The long night has passed.

The next morning.

The roar of car engines could be heard outside the abandoned chemical plant.

The screeching sound of brakes echoed through the empty factory area, shattering the tranquility of the early morning.

The iron door to the small dark room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The blinding sunlight rushed in instantly, and Jiang Yichen subconsciously squinted.

A man in a white suit walked in against the light.

The man was tall and slender, with a refined appearance, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.

But the coldness and violence in his eyes completely shattered this facade of refinement.

Bai Yanqiu.

The second son of the Bai family.

Qiang Ge and the blond-haired man followed Bai Yanqiu respectfully.

Bai Yanqiu walked up to Jiang Yichen and looked him down at him.

Jiang Yichen raised his head and calmly met his gaze.

"You're Jiang Yichen?"

Bai Yanqiu's lips curled into a playful smile.

He reached out and grabbed Jiang Yichen's chin, forcing him to lift his face.

Bai Yanqiu's gaze swept over Jiang Yichen's handsome features.

His eyes gradually turned sinister.

This is indeed a face that can make a woman's heart flutter.

"She is indeed good-looking."

"No wonder he was able to hook up with Xiaoyouyou."

Bai Yanqiu's fingers tightened suddenly, her nails digging into Jiang Yichen's skin.

Now, Jiang Yichen understood everything.

It turns out it was because of Xu Zhiyou.

"Young Master Bai, is that right?"

Jiang Yichen spoke in a flat tone, showing no awareness whatsoever of being a prisoner.

"Isn't using this kind of tactic to pursue a girl too low-level?"

Bai Yanqiu was stunned for a moment.

He clearly hadn't expected Jiang Yichen to dare speak to him like that.

Bai Yanqiu released his grip, took out a clean white handkerchief from his suit pocket, and slowly wiped his fingers.

He then casually tossed the handkerchief on the ground.

"Low-grade?"

Bai Yanqiu scoffed lightly.

"As long as it works."

"I don't care how far your relationship with Xiaoyouyou has progressed."

"Any woman that Bai Yanqiu sets his sights on, anyone who dares to touch her, I'll kill them."

He turned his head and looked at Brother Qiang next to him.

Give me the knife.

Qiang immediately drew a sharp tactical dagger from his waist and handed it to Bai Yanqiu with both hands.

Bai Yanqiu gripped the dagger, its blade gleaming coldly in the dim light.

He gently patted Jiang Yichen's cheek with the back of his knife.

The icy touch sent chills down my spine.

"I'm in a good mood today and don't want to kill anyone."

"However, since Xiaoyou likes your face..."

"I'll scratch your face."

"I'd like to see if Xiaoyouyou will still give you a second glance then."

Bai Yanqiu's eyes suddenly turned fierce.

He raised the dagger, aimed it at Jiang Yichen's cheek, and slashed down hard.

Just as the tip of the knife was about to touch Jiang Yichen's skin...

The window of the dark room suddenly shattered.

Countless shards of glass flew everywhere.

A black figure darted in through the window like a cheetah.

Su Yu.

She was dressed in a sleek black combat suit, her eyes cold and sharp.

The moment she landed, Su Yu swept her leg and sent the blond-haired guy flying.

The blond-haired man screamed as he slammed into the wall and passed out.

Su Yu straightened up and stood in front of Jiang Yichen.

Bai Yanqiu was startled by this sudden turn of events and staggered back two steps.

Qiang reacted quickly and immediately shielded Bai Yanqiu behind him.

He stared at Su Yu, a wary glint in his eyes.

Without wasting words, Su Yu drew the dagger from her leg and rushed towards Jiang Yichen, who was tied to the iron chair, preparing to cut the ropes.

Qiang Ge roared and pounced on him.

Its towering body exudes an extremely strong sense of oppression.

He swung his thick arm and punched Su Yu in the back.

Su Yu sensed the strong wind behind her and was forced to abandon cutting the rope, turning around to block.

The immense force of Qiang Ge's punch made Su Yu's arm go numb.

She was so shaken that she stumbled back several steps before regaining her balance.

"Not bad."

Qiang Ge twisted his neck, and his joints cracked.

"But you can't take him away today."

Su Yu remained expressionless, gripping her dagger tightly, preparing for another powerful attack.

Just then, a series of braking sounds came from outside the chemical plant.

The sounds of tires rubbing against the ground rose and fell, and it sounded like there were at least dozens of cars.

Immediately afterwards, a chaotic and heavy tidal wave of footsteps surged in.

The already flimsy iron door of the dark room was kicked open from the outside.

Xu Zhiyou and Gu Ruanxing walked in side by side.

Behind the two men were nearly a hundred bodyguards dressed in black suits, instantly filling the open space outside the small dark room.

Xu Zhiyou wore a black trench coat today, putting away her usual sweet and cute appearance.

Her cold gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Jiang Yichen, who was tied to an iron chair.

Seeing the dust on Jiang Yichen's clothes and the marks on his wrists, Xu Zhiyou's eyes instantly turned extremely cold.

Gu Ruanxing was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"Bai Yanqiu, are you crazy?!"

Gu Ruanxing pointed at Bai Yanqiu and cursed loudly.

"You dare touch anyone from Starry Sky Entertainment? Do you really think the Bai family can control everything in Shanghai?!"

Bai Yanqiu pushed aside Qiang Ge, who was blocking his way, and straightened his somewhat disheveled suit.

Looking at the menacing Xu Zhiyou and Gu Ruanxing, he was not afraid at all; instead, he laughed.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Gu from Star Entertainment?"

Bai Yanqiu spoke in a frivolous tone.

"What, you've got your eye on this pretty boy too?"

"What's so great about him that you two rich young ladies would go to such lengths to come to this run-down place?"

Xu Zhiyou strode forward, staring coldly at Bai Yanqiu.

Release them.

Xu Zhiyou's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a level of authority she never usually displayed.

Bai Yanqiu looked at Xu Zhiyou with great interest.

"Little Youyou, you actually mobilized so many people from the Xu family for this man."

"Do you know how beautiful you look when you're angry right now...?"

Bai Yanqiu reached out to touch Xu Zhiyou's face.

Xu Zhiyou turned her head away in disgust and took a half step back.

"Don't touch me."

Xu Zhiyou's tone was one of disgust.

"Bai Yanqiu, I'll say it one last time, release Jiang Yichen."

"Otherwise, none of you will be leaving this factory today."

Bai Yanqiu withdrew his hand, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He slowly adjusted his cuffs.

"Little Youyou, do you think you can intimidate me with just this few people?"

Bai Yanqiu suddenly raised his hands and clapped them twice.

The crisp sound of high-fives echoed through the empty factory.

next second.

In front of the iron railings on the second floor of the factory building, and behind the abandoned machines all around.

A large number of people emerged.

They were a dense, dark mass, all carrying steel pipes and machetes.

The number of people was definitely no less than the number of people Xu Zhiyou brought.

It even subtly formed an encirclement.

Bai Yanqiu put his hands in his pockets and looked at Xu Zhiyou smugly.

"Little Youyou, did you really think I came here completely unprepared?"
