Chapter 529: She Estimated They Would Cry From the Bleeding

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Nuan narrowed her eyes at him: “Mo Jingshen, whether I wish to stay or not, it’s my own freedom! I haven’t had any access to money, my phone, or my freedom here. Besides eating, all I do is sleep. Even a pig gets to see the world outside once in a while. Why do I have to be restricted to this extent to nurse my wounds?”

“You don’t have any money? You don’t have your phone?” The man appeared to be smiling imperceptibly: “Do you need me to take away the things under your pillow?”

Ji Nuan: “…”

What?!

How did he find out?

The man shot her another glance: “Do you really plan on convicting me with the crime of raising you like a pig deprived of freedom? You used such a clumsy method of hiding your phone under your bed, did you really think I wouldn’t know?”

Ji Nuan: “…”

She only thought that an upright and proper man like Mo Jingshen wouldn’t search under her pillows. And so, she had set her heart at ease and kept her phone there the whole time.

Who would have thought that he actually knew?!

But in her impression, he couldn’t have had an opportunity to touch her bed in the past few days, much less search under her pillow.

Ji Nuan considered it and vaguely traced the reason back to the surveillance cameras along the hallways. There were surveillance cameras along the hallways and in front of every room in Ao Lan International, but she had failed to consider this.

“I’ve been letting you eat well and sleep well here. Aside from preventing you from heading out to experience the cold weather, where else have I been restricting you?” The man’s tone remained as mild as ever.

Ji Nuan did not argue any further. She understood as well the condition of her head wound. Although it wasn’t a serious wound, and it was likely she received a tetanus shot when she was unconscious, but to prevent infection, keeping her from heading out was indeed for her own good.

She quickly ended the topic on her phone and pointed at the door: “Let them in first?”

Mo Jingshen glanced at her again.

Ji Nuan did not meet his gaze. Based on his attitude toward Yan Ge, she understood that if she let Yan Ge bring her away today, he wouldn’t have any good consequences to face. Yesterday, she had already caused Qin Siting to suffer by being locked outside. It was better to keep her words and actions milder today, in case she harms someone else.

Without needing her to speak up, based on the man’s understanding of her, he immediately recognized her choice to remain silent after weighing the pros and cons. He then finally moved away from the door.

Ji Nuan rushed to open the door to see that Yan Ge and the other policeman were still standing outside. The moment the door opened, their gaze moved unanimously toward Ji Nuan.

“Come in.” Ji Nuan widened the door.

The two took a look inside before finally stepping in.

As Yan Ge stepped in, he noticed that Ji Nuan’s complexion was much better and recalled her appearance when Mo Jingshen carried her out of the ocean that day. At the time, she was drenched in seawater and covered in blood streaks. Her skin had also been unbelievably pale. He couldn’t help but say apologetically: “Sister Nuan, I’m really sorry. When your car was hijacked, I was busy chasing the kidnappers with the police force and didn’t expect that you would be caught in the danger. I really failed to protect you.”

Ji Nuan raised her brows and smiled carelessly. “Seeing that you were trying to protect the innocent citizens, I won’t be petty with you. Aren’t we supposed to be giving our statements? Let’s start.”

The police officer who had accompanied Yan Ge here brought out a booklet and a recording pen. Ji Nuan politely offered them seats, but the two of them scanned the surroundings and saw that Mo Jingshen’s expression was still cold and indifferent despite granting them entrance. Both of them did not dare to sit. They stood in the middle of the living room and decided to get the task done as soon as possible.

They asked Ji Nuan a few simple questions, and after she cooperatively answered them, they turned to Mo Jingshen and repeated the same questions.

Although Mo Jingshen’s tone was slightly impatient and indifferent, he was still cooperative. His answers were simple and short, but Yan Ge and the other police officer released a sigh of relief. At the very least, they had completed their task.

After asking the necessary questions, Yan Ge questioned Ji Nuan about her wounds again. The other officer kept his items away and turned to Mo Jingshen seriously: “Mr. Mo, your car has already been retrieved. However, because it was seriously damaged and the water has ruined the interior, it has already been scrapped. Both Miss Ji and you were victims, and, thankfully, you were able to escape. On our side, we have already discussed this issue, and we will offer a suitable compensation for your Ghost. After we’ve fixed the compensation amount, we will look for you again to talk about the details. As your car is truly too expensive, it might take us a while to do this, so please give us some time…”

Mo Jingshen made light of the situation as he responded: “En.”

Ji Nuan listened to this from the side, and even though the car wasn’t hers, she still felt some pain over the loss.

Mo Jingshen’s Ghost was a limited edition, anniversary version. Even if the police planned to compensate him, forking out even one-sixth of the cost would amount to ten million yuan. This expense was truly too great, and it was no wonder the police needed time to discuss it. There was no way they could compensate him quickly.

It was likely that Mo Jingshen had already mentally prepared himself for the car to be scrapped when he drove it into the ocean and did not plan on demanding compensation from the police.

If he really wished to be petty, it was likely that Hai City’s police force and various police chiefs would be crying from the bleeding.

Finally, as they prepared to leave and Ji Nuan stood up to send them off, she abruptly received Mo Jingshen’s glance.

Could it be that she had to fire Yan Ge from his bodyguard position right now?

There was still someone by Yan Ge’s side. She would be giving him too little face if she fired him now. Besides, although Yan Ge was younger than Ji Nuan by a year, he has been caring for her in many ways. Perhaps because he had matured in a police school, he was a very upright and charismatic person. More importantly, he treated Ji Nuan very well. He was professional and responsible.

She smiled and chatted with them under the pretense of sending them off. She did not mention firing Yan Ge, nor did she have any intention of doing so.

Before the two of them could leave the door, the man’s cold, low and heavy voice abruptly spoke up: “If you’re a SWAT officer, you should focus on doing that well. It’s best to be stationed at a police station or to work under a case department. A job like a bodyguard isn’t suited for you, nor does it contribute in any work to your position as a SWAT officer.”

Ji Nuan: “…”

Yan Ge faltered in his movements. He slowly turned back to Mo Jingshen, but before he could speak, Ji Nuan took hold of his elbow and brought him out of the door.

Watching as Ji Nuan held Yan Ge’s elbow, Mo Jingshen’s expression turned heavy.

Outside the door, Ji Nuan made a ‘hush’ gesture to Yan Ge. “Head back first. I’ll find another time to return to the company and talk to you.”

After hearing these words, Yan Ge’s originally dissatisfied expression immediately fell. “Sister Nuan, it can’t be. I haven’t even worked by your side for a month and you’re firing me?”
