Dan Hanjie didn’t say a word, but just pulled her into his embrace with a firm grip on his arm.
Qin Youxuan was startled, her body stiffened for a moment. She fidgeted uncomfortably, pulling at her wound, and gasped in pain.
“Don’t move!” Dan Hanjie reminded her quietly. His arms around her loosened slightly, adjusting their positions so that she could rest comfortably against him.
“Usually you’re so fearless, have you finally learned to be scared?”
Qin Youxuan pursed her lips, unsure if she was genuinely frightened or if his embrace was just too warm; unexpectedly, she no longer had the energy to struggle.
She snuggled up against his chest and wriggled closer, boldly leaning on his shoulder.
“Do you know who’s behind this?”
After a while, when he sensed that she had finally calmed down, Dan Hanjie finally spoke.
Qin Youxuan pressed her lips together and did not speak, simply shaking her head faintly.
She hesitated for a long time before she spoke, “I don’t have any proof, but I can’t think of anyone else except her.”
“You’re talking about Jin Lan?” Dan Hanjie’s eyebrows raised slightly, his lips curved into a wicked smile, his eyes flashed a sinister spark, but it was fleeting.
“You know too?” Qin Youxuan jerked her head back, brushing against the wound on her cheek, frowned in pain.
Her clear cat-like eyes were fixedly staring at Dan Hanjie.
She wanted to see the truth in his eyes.
“We’re still investigating. It might take some time to know for sure.” Dan Hanjie’s eyes flickered before he squinted and spoke.
“It must be her! No one else but her would want to destroy me that much! The two kidnappers already confessed that someone didn’t want me to attend the Qin Group’s shareholders meeting, so they were paid to take me away, and they even…”
Qin Youxuan bit her lip, finding it hard to articulate the rest.
Just thinking about Jin Lan’s detestable attempts to ruin her with men made her tremble with anger.
“If it wasn’t for my luck, and that I was released later, I probably wouldn’t even have a face to return to Qin Group. I can’t think of anyone else who would do such a thing but her!”
Qin Youxuan clenched her fists in frustration, gripping onto the bed sheets, grinding her teeth in anger.
After a long while, she remembered something and turned to look at Dan Hanjie, “What about the Qin Group’s shareholders meeting…”
The day she has been eagerly yearning for passed by just like this.
The opportunity that she had waited for so long was missed. She stood up all the shareholders and probably tarnished the positive image that she had worked so hard to cultivate.
She didn’t know how the media would cover this…
Qin Youxuan lowered her gaze, her look suddenly becoming desolate.
“I have already dispatched someone to address the situation, and we didn’t let the media know about your disappearance to avoid affecting Qin Group’s stock price. We released a statement in your name saying that you were invited by Dan Group at the last minute to discuss next quarter’s cooperation.”
Dan Hanjie’s voice was neither light nor heavy, yet it sounded like a muffled thunderstorm in Qin Youxuan’s ear.
She raised her head abruptly, staring at Dan Hanjie in disbelief.
Dan Group…
Many people are straining their necks just hoping to catch a glimpse of it.
And many others are doing all they can to establish a connection with Dan Group and this man before her…
Was she one lucky girl?
Those shareholders of Qin Group would probably be laughing so hard they couldn’t close their mouths when they heard that she was negotiating a contract with Dan Group, who would even care that she stood someone up.
Not only would the media dare not report negatively about her, they might even go out of their way to promote her.
