Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

In the dim light in the carriage, only the vague outlines of the two people could be seen. Helian Minxiao's hand gently covered Ji Yan's messy hair, and his other hand gently stroked the back of her neck, slowly forcing her to raise her head. He stared at her face that was distorted by fear, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, Yanyan." Helian Minxiao's voice was low and gentle, like the evening breeze blowing across the lake, trying to soothe her inner fear with his voice. But Ji Yan didn't seem to hear it, she kept shaking her head, as if trying to break free from the bondage, tears silently slid down from the corners of her eyes, across her pale cheeks.

Ji Yan's lips opened slightly, she wanted to say something, but only let out a faint moan: "Woo... No, go away, don't touch me, haah!" Her voice was trembling and weak, like a candle swaying in the wind, which could go out at any time.

Helian Minxiao's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something, and his eyes were full of worry and self-blame. He held Ji Yan's hand tightly, trying to pass on his strength to her: "Don't be afraid, Yanyan. I'm here, I won't hurt you."

However, Ji Yan's body suddenly stiffened, her breathing became rapid and disordered, as if she was controlled by an invisible force. Her body began to tremble involuntarily, and her eyes were full of pain and anger: "Don't... I... I will kill you..." Her voice was weak, but it was full of strong hatred and despair.

Helian Minxiao was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. He looked at her painful and distorted face, and his heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. He knew that it was all because of his negligence that she suffered such torture.

"I'm sorry, Yanyan." Helian Minxiao's voice was low and full of guilt. "It's because I didn't protect you well that you suffered such pain. But please believe me, I will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you again."

However, at this moment, Ji Yan could no longer hear Helian Minxiao's words. Her consciousness had been controlled by the drugs, and her body had lost its autonomy. She could only let the drugs drive her actions and do things that she would never do normally.

Helian Minxiao looked at her like this, his heart filled with pain and helplessness. He didn't know what to do, he didn't know what else he could do. He could only hug her tightly, let her feel his presence, let her know that he was always by her side.

"Don't be afraid, Yanyan." Helian Minxiao's voice rang in Ji Yan's ears, like a ray of light in the dark night, "I will stay with you until you recover."

In his arms, Ji Yan's body slowly calmed down. Her breathing became steady and deep, and her body stopped shaking.

……

After Zheng Haoqian and his companions left in a hurry, Fu Jingyan and Lu Nanxu sat quietly in the room, both of them looked calm and composed. Fu Jingyan's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he seemed to be able to see through everything.

Suddenly, Fu Jingyan's phone vibrated, and a message flashed on the screen: "People from the Public Security Bureau have arrived." Fu Jingyan smiled lightly, as if everything was within his expectations. "I received information about a good deal, and it happened to be this one, hum, it's all linked!" He whispered, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.

Lu Nanxu frowned slightly, tapping the armrest of the sofa rhythmically, as if thinking about something. He looked up at Fu Jingyan, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. Fu Jingyan nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and a respectful voice sounded: "Captain Fu, Mr. Lu, the people from the Li family are leading the Public Security Bureau chief here. Please go ahead." Fu Jingyan stood up slowly, tidied his clothes, and then walked out of the room with Lu Nanxu.

Outside the door, Yong Ren, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, watched them leave, then turned to the others and said, "You can leave now. Remember what to say and what not to say later."

As soon as I walked into the hall, I saw a group of men in black uniforms with the words "Public Security" printed on their backs walking towards me aggressively.

The hotel manager glanced at the director in charge and said coldly, "I wonder what the director is here for?"

The police chief adjusted his hat and said in a deep voice, "I've received news that someone in room 986 is conducting a drug deal. If you continue to stop them, I will turn you over to the court as well."

The person in charge smiled and said, "This is the venue where I hold charity auctions over the years, so it must be strictly guarded. Of course, if the director is worried, please come this way." He made a gesture of invitation, indicating that the director of public security could check at will.

The police chief nodded and ordered: "You two go check the surveillance tapes, and the rest of you follow me." The group walked towards room 986 in a mighty manner.

The spacious room 986, like the other rooms, was filled with the elegant fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and the clean furnishings were spotless. The director looked around with a grim face and ordered, "Search! Don't miss any corner!"

Not long after, the searchers came back and reported: "Nothing was found here."

The person in charge of the monitor followed suit: "The monitor broke down before the event started and has not been repaired yet."

A subordinate at the side said to the director: "Did anyone see Chief Fu and his men on the 9th floor just now?"

The director pushed his glasses, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, a low and sexy voice slowly sounded: "I wonder what the director wants to see me about?" Fu Jingyan had a warm smile on his face, but a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his eyelids to cover the light.

The director said with a wry smile, "I just want to confirm what you were doing on the 9th floor just now."

Lu Nanxu raised his eyebrows and said: "This is a hotel, so of course they are resting here." The implication is that they are resting here and you have no right to interfere.

The director asked again: "Why didn't you see the other three big shots?"

Fu Jingyan laughed softly and said, "Of course the big shots are busy with important things." He paused and said, "I still have some things to deal with. If you need any cooperation, just let me know."

"Oh! Someone heard a gunshot downstairs just now. May I know if you two are here?" The director was choked by Fu Jingyan's words. He did not expect Fu Jingyan to reject his inquiry so directly.

He was about to get angry, but was interrupted by Fu Jingyan's next words: "Oh! Gunshots? It seems that there are some problems with the security of the imperial capital recently. I remember that the social security was good when the former director was in office, but now it seems that the military should investigate it carefully."

The director's face changed. He knew that Fu Jingyan was knocking him, implying his poor management. He could only suppress the anger in his heart, nodded and said, "I will." Then he left with his men.

Fu Jingyan looked at the director's back as he left, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. He knew that this matter would not end so easily, but he also had enough confidence to deal with the next challenge.
