Chapter 329: 329, Can’t Keep Calm (2) _1
Quan Jingwu’s gaze scanned briefly over something and then quickly moved away. His thin lips curved upward, exhibiting a dangerous and bloodthirsty intensity.
Jian Qing skimmed through the information about the Bloodthirsty Alliance on her computer before finally closing it.
Almost simultaneously, her cell phone began to ring.
She set down her computer and picked up the phone to answer the call.
She didn’t know what the person on the other end of the line said, but her whole body’s aura suddenly turned cold, causing Shen Hao to instinctively move aside.
An idea flashed in everyone’s mind.
The madam is angry.
Quan Jingwu casually laid his hand over Jian Qing’s shoulder; sensing his movement, she gradually restrained her icy demeanor.
“I understand. Let the Bloodthirsty Alliance proceed as usual.”
Her icy voice didn’t contain a trace of warmth, which made Shen Hao shiver.
Her voice seemed as though it was echoing from the depths of a cold abyss.
She might even be giving the boss a run for his money.
But, what was this ‘usual procedure’ they spoke of?
They were somewhat curious.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Heng couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked gently, “Madam, what is this ‘usual procedure’ you speak of?”
Jian Qing glanced at him, stating simply, “Eliminate the roots along with the grass.”
A dragon’s inverse scale can be lethal when touched.
Shen Hao paused briefly before bursting into laughter.
Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.
The madam’s way of handling things was very much like their boss’s.
“Madam, do you know who is behind all this?” Shen Hao asked.
Jian Qing made a sound of agreement, acknowledging his question.
“Shen Hao, there’s something I need your help with.”
Her voice was steady as she spoke, a chilly glint flickering in her eyes.
She hadn’t intended to act so aggressively, but if they couldn’t wait, she might as well play along.
Shen Hao’s eyes gleamed with anticipation. “Madam, just give us the command.”
“Find out An Man’s current address and start surveillance.” She ordered coldly.
Upon hearing her words, both Shen Hao and Fu Heng were shocked.
An Man?
Could it really be her?
Wasn’t Xiang Cheng’s situation enough to deter her?
Even if she wanted to find her own demise, wasn’t she pushing it a bit too much?
“Madam, why don’t we just capture her directly?” Fu Heng asked.
Since they already knew who the person behind everything was, why didn’t they just capture her directly?
Jian Qing scoffed coldly, “She’s drained everything from the Xiang Group and plans to take Xiang Cheng abroad in two days.”
She should experience the feeling of climbing up to heaven only to fall back down again.
Understanding her plan, Shen Hao and Fu Heng shared a knowing smile. “We know what to do now.”
Quan Jingwu swept his gaze lightly over Shen Hao and Fu Heng, instantly putting them on edge.
“Boss, we should get going now. Please, rest.”
Shen Hao quickly added, “Boss, Madam, we should leave now, we have things to tend to at the company.”
Quan Jingwu gave a satisfied smile, and Shen Hao quickly made their exit.
They didn’t want to face the consequences of interrupting the boss’s private time.
Once the door to the ward closed, Quan Jingwu stretched out his arm and pulled Jian Qing into his embrace.
Jian Qing didn’t have time to react and found herself falling headfirst into his arms.
However, she landed in an awkward spot, just below his abdomen and between his legs.
Consequently, the fire was ignited.
Jian Qing’s face turned bright red, the place her lips brushed against felt like an electric current coursing through her body.
She held her breath and quickly sat up, avoiding meeting the man’s eyes.
“Um, are you hungry? I’ll get you something to eat.”
As she was talking, she tried to get off the bed in a flustered manner.
Quan Jingwu quickly unhooked the IV tube from the back of his hand, then reached out his arm to pull back the fleeing individual.
Soon after, the world spun around Jian Qing and she saw a tall silhouette looming over her.
Jian Qing bit her lip, her eyes challenging his.
She wished she could just find a hole to crawl into; she was utterly embarrassed.
Quan Jingwu lowered his gaze to look at her, the intensity in his eyes deepening.
“My love, where do you think you’re going after starting a fire, huh?”
As the one who started the fire, she was naturally responsible for putting it out.
“Why did you remove the infusion tube?” Looking at the infusion tube lying at the edge of the bed, Jian Qing quickly inquired.
“It’s empty.”
Quan Jingwu was unhappy with the change of subject, and reminded her.
Jian Qing looked up and realized it was indeed empty.
“You need to take your medicine now, I’ll go get you some water.” She tried to free herself from his grip while talking.
“I can take it later too.” He replied.
Jian Qing was exasperated as she pondered how to get him to leave.
“Darling, it’s time to put out the fire.” He leaned in closer, his seductive Adam’s apple bobbed as he spoke.
She placed a hand against his chest, reminding him, “Xiaojing, you’re injured. You can’t move around. If you wound happens to tear?”
She was trying to quell his impatience, but it seemed that she had underestimated his appetite for ‘meat’.
The man grabbed her hand, nipping at her ear, “I can be still, and you can move.”
“Wh-what?” Jian Qing’s eyes widened, and she nearly bit her own tongue.
“This time, you can be on top, ok?” His hoarse voice cooed seductively.
The moment she understood his implication, Miss Jian exploded.
She prised open his hand, shooting him a glare, “In your dreams.”
“Darling, I’m in pain.” Quan Jingwu began to wheedle, his legs pressing against hers, clearly intending to release her if he couldn’t get what he wanted.
Jian Qing chuckled. “Then, why don’t you suffer a little.”
This man…
Even though he’s injured, he’s still worried about…other things. It’s just…unbelievable.
“What happens if I can’t hold it in anymore?” He nuzzled against her neck, his lips barely grazing her skin.
Jian Qing turned her head away, responding without hesitation, “Well, that might be for the best. A clear mind and few desires, perhaps you should consider becoming a monk.”
“Darling!” His magnetic voice echoed around her.
His sweet words made Jian Qing’s ears tickle.
This wasn’t fair. He was using seduction tactics!
If this were to continue, things would probably get out of control.
“Xiaojing, calm down.”
“I can’t calm down,” he replied, his lips grazing her neck.
Jian Qing, dumbfounded, gently pushed him away and hastily threw out a bait, “Wait until you’re better, I promise.”
As soon as her words fell, the man’s head shot up, his violet eyes glistening unabashedly, “You said so.”
Meeting his bright hopeful gaze, Jian Qing forced herself agree.
This was so damn hard.
Could she just knock him out with one punch?
After securing promises, Quan Jingwu quickly let go of her.
Jian Qing promptly sprang up. She couldn’t stay in that bed any longer. If she did, she’d have no choice but to surrender.
After a short playful spar, Rhee and Quan Hao soon arrived.
Upon entering, Rhee immediately pulled Jian Qing for a full inspection, completely neglecting her son standing aside.
Clearly demonstrating that a daughter-in-law is one’s own child, while a son is adopted.
“Little Qingqing, how did you hurt your hands again?”
Rhee eyed the small injuries scattered across those slender and delicate hands with sympathy.
Jian Qing gave a forced smile, “Auntie, these injuries are nothing, they’ll heal in a few days.”
