Sober and beautiful, my husband and son begged for my forgiveness on their knees.

As soon as the other person left, Ning Yao immediately took out the pepper spray, then carefully got up and went behind the door to observe the situation outside.

Her left shoulder, which had just been hit, was now both painful and numb, but she dared not make a sound, even deliberately controlling her breathing.

Suddenly, someone approached the door.

"Squeak-"

The wooden door made a dull thud, like a drumstick striking Ning Yao's heart.

She gripped the pepper spray tightly, pressed herself against the door, and peered through the crack to observe who was entering.

It wasn't the blond guy; it was another, more robust man.

Trouble!

With her short arms and legs, I wonder if she can even hit the other person's face accurately.

Before she could think further, the person quickly entered the room and sharply scanned the area behind the door where she was!

No, I was discovered!

"呲呲-"

Ning Yao pressed the pepper spray and aimed it at the person's face!

The newcomer reacted extremely quickly, raising his hand to cover his face immediately and retreating decisively.

Ning Yao bit her lip hard and rushed out, afraid that if she was too slow, the long-legged man behind her would catch up!

"Miss Ning, are you alright? Mr. Lu was just looking for you, didn't you run into him?"

Yang Qian looked at Ning Yao, who suddenly rushed out, with a surprised expression.

Ning Yao paused, her entire body frozen in place.

Is Lu Jingmo here too?

That person from earlier...

It's Lu Jingmo?!

"If I had known you were prepared, I shouldn't have meddled."

The next second, a familiar, deep, cold voice came from behind, and Ning Yao felt a chill run down her spine for no reason.

She slowly turned around and saw Lu Jingmo, who was usually indifferent, staring at her with bloodshot eyes and extreme anger.

That abnormal red color was clearly from being injured by the irritating gas of pepper spray.

"Mr. Lu, what's wrong...?"

Yang Qian was shocked when he saw his appearance.

Then, noticing the pepper spray that Ning Yao was holding tightly in her hand, her shock turned into horror.

"What are you standing there for? Go get me two bottles of mineral water from the car."

Lu Jingmo felt the burning sensation in his eyes intensifying, and his anger rose steadily.

"Yes, I'll go right away!"

Yang Qian ran away, and Ning Yao subconsciously hid the pepper spray in her hand.

Although she hid quickly, Lu Jingmoqian still saw her.

"I'll settle this score with you later."

Ning Yao was speechless. She was acting in self-defense; who knew he would suddenly appear!

Just as she was thinking, Ning Yao noticed that the blond-haired man who had almost assaulted her was now tied up and thrown on the ground.

"You...did this?"

Lu Jingmo's eyes were so uncomfortable that he simply closed them.

But when he heard Ning Yao's question, he still knew what she was referring to.

"Isn't this an obvious fact?"

Ning Yao was teased by him again, and her grip on the pepper spray loosened and tightened again. Should she try again?

At this moment, Huang Mao realized that he had offended a powerful figure he shouldn't have, and he cried out for help to Ning Yao.

"Mr. Lu, the water's here!"

Yang Qian rushed in at the right moment and quickly handed the water to Lu Jingmo.

Lu Jingmo opened the bottle cap and began rinsing his eyes. The two bottles of water were quickly emptied, and the burning sensation in his eyes subsided. He reopened his eyes.

His eyes were even redder than before, like those of a ferocious beast in a fit of rage.

The blond-haired man was still whimpering and begging Ning Yao for help. Ning Yao glanced at Lu Jingmo, whose eyes were filled with malice, then gently curled her lips and walked towards him.

The bloodshot look in Lu Jingmo's eyes deepened, but the blond-haired man, with his back to him, didn't notice at all.

Seeing Ning Yao walking towards him, he thought she was coming to rescue him, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Ning Yao." Lu Jingmo called Ning Yao in a deep, cold voice. Although he didn't say anything, the silent pressure filled the surrounding air.

Ning Yao glanced at him indifferently, signaling him not to interfere.

Lu Jingmo has always been the one giving orders and controlling the overall situation. Now, for the first time, he is being directed by someone with just a look. This feeling is a bit novel.

He took a step to the side.

Ning Yao looked at the blond-haired man again and saw that he was smiling at her even though his mouth was stuffed. The corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.

But her smile made Huang Mao feel uneasy.

"呲呲-"

Ning Yao pressed the spray button and aimed it at his entire face.

"No no no!"

The blond-haired man, his face red and neck bulging, began to struggle on the ground.

But because his hands and feet were tied, he couldn't wipe his eyes and could only keep his head down and curl up.

His violent struggle made him look like a stranded, dying fish.

"This is the price you pay for wantonly hurting people. You must remember this clearly, because you will never have the opportunity to harm anyone again!"

Ning Yaolu's skill made Lu Jingmo look at her with new respect.

Yang Qian couldn't bear to look at Huang Mao's miserable state.

That's pepper spray! Mr. Lu was only irritated by a little bit of the gas and he already looks like this. That blond guy is probably going to go blind.

Ning Yao, how terrifying!

"Yang Qian, that's enough, you can call the police now."

The burning pain in Lu Jingmo's eyes started to spread again; he had to deal with the trouble as soon as possible and go to the hospital.

"Yes."

Just as Yang Qian took out his phone, a group of uniformed, well-trained police officers rushed in.

They were taken aback when they saw Lu Jingmo and the others.

Then, seeing the blond-haired man lying on the ground, the leader immediately put away his weapon and walked towards the group.

"Who called the police?"

Yang Qian shook his head, and Ning Yao immediately raised her hand, "It's me. I just sent a text message to the back office and noted my location."

The captain nodded, then looked at the blond-haired man. "Is he the one who hurt you?"

"Correct."

Ning Yao briefly explained the situation, and the captain had someone take notes before ordering someone to take the blond-haired man away.

The gag was pulled off the blond-haired man's mouth, and seeing that it was the police officers, he immediately shouted, "I want to call the police too! They broke into my home and beat me up. This woman tried to seduce me and then brought two accomplices to try to kidnap me! I'm going to sue them!"

Hearing that he was trying to shift the blame, Yang Qian immediately shouted, "Shut up! With your pathetic appearance, you dare to accuse our CEO and Miss Ning of kidnapping you? You're shameless!"

The blond-haired guy was unfazed. "So what if it's junk? You guys still came here eagerly! Besides, I suspect you deliberately set me up! I don't care, I've been beaten up like this, I'm not going to let you get away with this! You just wait, this isn't over!"

Ning Yao wasn't surprised at all by his arrogant attitude. If he could turn a beautiful girl into such a grotesque state, there must be someone behind this blond guy!

She turned to look at Lu Jingmo, her tone somewhat playful, "Mr. Lu, he's going to sue you, aren't you afraid?"

Lu Jingmo coldly glared at the blond-haired man, his aura radiating power. "Afraid? There's no one in this neighboring city that I, Lu Jingmo, need to fear."

Upon hearing his name, the blond-haired man's arrogant expression instantly froze on his face...
