Su Qing felt like she couldn't breathe; it was too suffocating.
She was too weak to fight.
To conserve her strength, Su Qing felt her hands and feet bound.
When she opened her eyes again and could see the light, she saw a face that made her want vomit.
"You're Shasha's friend, right? Why are you trying to hurt her?"
A pair of disgusting, rough, black, and dirty hands brushed against Su Qing's face.
Su Qing's eyes widened. After stepping aside, she looked at Tian Shasha's father.
"I didn't hurt her. She hurt herself."
Su Qing bit her lip, certain that her call had gone through and that Jiang Sui would definitely come looking for her.
"Shasha's very smart. I heard she say it was you."
The man seemed certain that Su Qing was responsible.
This was an old, abandoned warehouse, a mess.
The man pulled out an old cell phone, turned on the camera, and began to pull at Su Qing's clothes.
Su Qing was stunned for a moment, struggling erratically.
"What are you doing!"
"I won't do anything. I just want to leave some evidence. As long as you agree to a settlement, I won't do anything."
Su Qing's eyes were red, and she was on the verge of collapse.
"I don't have the final decision on settlement. If you do this now, no one can save you."
Su Qing's words instantly irritated him.
"What if you don't reconcile? Our Shasha still has time to take the imperial examination. If you don't reconcile, her mother won't have the medical expenses!"
Su Qing was completely stunned by these nonsense words. She felt a slap on the face.
When Tian Jinliang's fingers touched Su Qing's neck, he paused and narrowed his eyes...
The door was shattered in an instant.
"Tian Jinliang, stop!"
"Go!"
Tian Jinliang was pinned to the ground with incredible speed.
Su Qing's eyes flushed slightly, and tears fell the moment she saw Jiang Sui.
She was in a state of extreme distress; her hat had been lost long ago, and only one of her gloves remained.
After Jiang Sui lifted Su Qing and placed her in the car, the young man pursed his lips and left without a word.
When returned, his fingers were covered in rashes.
Su Qing lowered her head, huddled in a corner, silent.
"Qing Qing, I'm sorry. It's my fault."
Jiang Sui blamed himself for answering the phone so late.
In the back seat, it was just him and Su Qing. The young man lowered his eyes, his face a look of dejection.
"I'm fine."
"Don't blame yourself. Nothing happened."
Su Qing shed tears as she watched the young man wipe her tears. The scratched flesh on his fingers told her what he had been up to.
She pursed her lips, saying nothing.
The young man kept wiping her tears along the way, and Su Qing had no idea why she was crying.
When they arrived, Pei Dai looked at the two of them.
"Su Qing, I didn't think it through."
"It's okay..."
This was actually an accident.
But before Su Qing could finish her words, Jiang Sui grabbed her finger and walked away. Regardless of any resistance, it seemed as if the young man would not allow her to stay in such a dangerous place any longer.
"Jiang Sui..."
"Qing Qing, I'm in a state of confusion. I've hired a lawyer. You don't need to come here anymore. They will receive the harshest punishment."
This was the first time the young man had come to resolve a problem in such a way, leaving no space for rejection.
Su Qing pursed her lips as she watched the boy's eyes redden, his body on the verge of a violent outburst, reminding her of the same situation at the snack street that day.
She allowed the boy to lead her.
Jiang Sui didn't take Su Qing anywhere, but returned to his residence.
The boy placed Su Qing on the sofa. He took two vitamins from a nearby bottle and half-hugged her.
"I'm sorry..."
Keep, keep.
Su Qing lowered her head, pursing her lips. She could sense the tension emanating from Jiang Sui.
There was a hint of weakness in his words.
He kept apologizing.
Su Qing bit her lip. If she still couldn't notice something was wrong with the boy, she'd be a fool.
"I'm fine, Jiang Sui, I really fine."
Nothing had happened, just a lot of disgust.
Su Qing don't know how much Jiang Sui took in her words.
Thinking back to when they left, Pei Dai's eyes were clearly filled with worry, as he glanced at her and then at Jiang Sui.
Her heart was throbbing with anxiety.
The young man seemed to be in a nightmare, unable to do anything but apologize.
Mei Yeqin pushed the door and entered.
Jiang Sui seemed to feel his territory was being invaded. With eyes nearly crimson, he fiercely shouted, "Get out!"
At this moment, Jiang Sui let go of Su Qing, stood up, and stared at Mei Yeqin.
Su Qing was stunned. She had never seen Jiang Sui like this before.
Jiang Sui like this was unfamiliar.
Mei Yeqin's expression froze for a moment, then quickly recovered. She didn't intend to leave, but she slowly stepped forward, approaching Jiang Sui's side.
"Get lost!"
It was hard to imagine Jiang Sui saying these words, so rudely to Mei Yeqin.
"Jiang Sui..."
Su Qing frowned, a little frustrated, and wanted to speak up to stop the boy.
"Qing Qing, don't be so violent..."
Before the boy could finish his words, Su Qing saw Mei Yeqin holding something: a tranquilizer.
She seemed prepared.
When Jiang Sui fainted, Mei Yeqin and Su Qing both supported the boy.
Su Qing could feel the boy's tense muscles, which showed no sign of relaxation.
After placing Jiang Sui in the bedroom, they closed the door.
Mei Yeqin's eyes flashed with an unnatural worry, and then she looked at Su Qing.
"Qing Qing, Pei Dai briefly told me about your situation. I'm sorry."
Su Qing hadn't expected Mei Yeqin's apology. Her fingers curled slightly, and she pursed her lips. Though pale, her face looked much better.
"Auntie Mei, no, you don't need to apologize to me. This was an accident, not your fault."
Her voice was soft and trembling with fear, but there was no hint of blame in her voice. However, Mei Yeqin could see the confusion in her eyes.
Mei Yeqin tried her best to calm herself down and looked at Su Qing.
"Su Qing, do you want to know what happened to Ah Sui? Why did I bring a tranquilizer?"
Su Qing nodded without hesitation.
Mei Yeqin pondered it over and finally decided to speak.
"Su Qing, this may be very unfair to you. I knew from Pei Dai that Ah Sui had a relapse."
The word "relapse" left Su Qing stunned.
Her eyes fell on the vitamin bottle on the coffee table.
