Jiang Yuwei's stunningly beautiful face instantly turned extremely ugly, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and a terrifying ferocity surged in her eyes.

The burly man felt a surge of unease, thinking he had said something wrong and that Jiang Yuwei was about to give him a severe scolding.

But Jiang Yuwei didn't do anything to him; instead, she looked at him.

"Do me a favor, and then you can leave."

Upon hearing this, the burly man breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Please give me your orders."

"Bring the man you think is close to me tonight, by any means necessary."

The burly man looked surprised. "You...you're serious? Don't come back and think I was rude and hurt him, and then I'll go to jail again, Mr. Jiang. I'm scared."

"Do I look like I'm lying?" Jiang Yuwei said expressionlessly. "I'll tell you where he is. If you can't bring him here by tomorrow morning at the latest, you'll be locked up for life."

The burly man's face instantly tensed. "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will definitely get this done for you!"

After saying that, he was taken away.

Looking at the dark, gloomy sky, Jiang Yuwei felt a surge of intense anger rising in her chest, spreading rapidly and uncontrollably.

"In this final lifetime, you still won't grant my wish?"

A cool breeze blew, and the flames that had been burning in her heart grew even stronger. She took out her phone and made a call.

"Secretary Li, how's the investigation going?"

Secretary Li immediately replied, "President Jiang, we have found the person, but... Mr. Chen is at Young Master Jiang's house."

"A few days ago, on the day Mr. Chen had the accident, the old man seemed to have sent someone to teach him a lesson. He was rescued by Young Master Jiang, who then took Mr. Chen home and kept him in the villa. It might not be easy to take him away."

"Spread the word that anyone who tries to stop me from arresting someone is going against me," Jiang Yuwei narrowed her long, dark eyes, her voice as cold as ice. "I'll send someone over to you later, and you'll have to bring him here even if you have to tie him up!"

"I need to see him tonight, I can't wait until tomorrow."

The intense coldness and murderous intent in her tone made Secretary Li on the other end of the phone tremble. "Yes, President Jiang."

Inside the ward, I forced myself to get out of bed. The pain had lessened considerably, and I was fine.

I went to the restroom, completely unaware of what was happening outside the ward.

There was a clean, large mirror in the bathroom. I looked so thin in the mirror that I seemed like a gust of wind could blow me away. My handsome face was bloodless, even my lips were pale, and I looked extremely haggard.

I looked at myself in the mirror quietly, and finally couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

I've made my life so miserable again.

Chen Yiran, he cut off my path to survival twice.

I asked in a low voice, "What should I do if Jiang Yuwei stands against me again?"

No one responded to me.

But I have a very clear answer in my heart—

Then kill her!

I forced a smile, walked out of the bathroom, and was met by Jiang Yuwei as she opened the door and came in.

She was carrying a bowl of steaming herbal medicine. When she saw me get out of bed, her expression changed drastically. She put down the bowl and quickly strode towards me.

"Why didn't you call me? Were you feeling unwell?"

She reached out to help me, but I avoided her. I continued to walk forward, and before I had taken two steps, my arm was grabbed, and the next second a pair of soft little hands climbed up my arm.

“Ye Qiu,” she said, carefully helping me towards the hospital bed. I could even feel her tense body and suppressed emotions. Her voice was incredibly hoarse. “You can get angry at me, throw tantrums, hit me, yell at me, but don’t bully yourself, okay?”

I was too lazy to argue, and said indifferently, "You're overthinking it. I treat myself very well."

She is Chen Yiran's accomplice; to accept her kindness would be to bully myself.

Jiang Yuwei seemed to understand. She pursed her lips and silently and carefully carried me back to the hospital bed, covering me with the blanket.

She didn't leave. She sat down on the edge of my bed, staring at me intently, a gloomy look on her delicate face.

“I was unaware that Chen Yiran pushed you down the stairs, otherwise I wouldn’t have let him off the hook.”

"No one can hurt you, and he certainly can't."

His words were filled with a strong protective instinct, and a hint of barely perceptible anger.

I looked at Jiang Yuwei; she looked serious, and I couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or not.

So I didn't reply, but just said, "It's late, I want to sleep."

"Okay." Jiang Yuwei closed her eyes, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart and concealing the frustration in her eyes.

She turned off the light for me, and I thought she was leaving, but she just lay down next to me and wrapped her long arms around my waist.

"Jiang Yuwei!"

"Don't be mean to me." She seemed very aggrieved, her voice hoarse with even stronger resentment. "I know what you're thinking. Because of Chen Yiran, you're going to break up with me again, right?"

I gritted my teeth. Wasn't she supposed to be a high-class beauty? When did she become so shameless?

"Go down!"

Jiang Yuwei didn't leave; she buried her head in the crook of my shoulder, her hot breath spraying onto my body.

"I was wrong, Ye Qiu. I was so upset when you got into trouble. I could only take care of you and not anyone else, which is why Chen Yiran took advantage of the situation."

"There won't be a next time, I swear, please forgive me just this once, okay?"

"I only ask for a perfect ending with you in this lifetime, just this once, just this one lifetime, okay?"
