Chapter 312: 312: Taking Advantage of the Weak

“How did your hand get injured?!” As Bai Wei came to her senses, she instantly rushed up to Dan Hanjie, trying to reach for his hand, but he sidestepped to avoid her.

“Don’t touch me.”

Dan Hanjie narrowed his eyes and turned to stride towards his study, blatantly ignoring the worry in Bai Wei’s eyes.

He didn’t appreciate any woman getting close to him, Bai Wei included.

Even when he fell asleep to her scent, Bai Wei could only lie a meter away from him.

Qin Youxuan was the only exception.

The only one.

But she hoped she had never had any involvement with him…n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Dan Hanjie’s gaze turned dark, his eyes deep set, his strong facial features tightened. He pressed his lips together and walked forward, not uttering a word.

“Jie, your hand is severely injured, how can you not bandage it!” Bai Wei yelled from behind him, her eyes filled with panic.

Just as she was about to catch up with him, she heard Dan Hanjie’s cold warning.

“If you dare to touch a single finger of mine, I will immediately have you sent back to America.”

“…”

Bai Wei stopped in her tracks, raising her head to look at him in disbelief.

After all this time, he found her touch so revolting…

The light in Bai Wei’s eyes slowly dimmed.

She stood still, not moving a muscle.

She watched, paralyzed, as Dan Hanjie allowed his wound to bleed freely and walked into his study.

Bai Wei hesitated for a while before entering the master bedroom.

She glanced at the empty room and was momentarily stunned.

She had expected to see Qin Youxuan, but instead found the room in a state of disarray.

The mirror on the dresser was completely shattered, leaving irregular streaks of blood on the wooden frame. The table was smeared with a pool of fresh blood that kept dripping onto the floor…

Remembering Dan Hanjie’s hand, Bai Wei’s eyes tightened. She was about to turn back to the study to coax him, but something in the wastebasket caught her eye. Her steps faltered.

“This is…”

Bai Wei approached, staring at the wastebasket for a moment before reaching in to retrieve a small, crushed box.

Contraceptive pills, this box was actually contraceptive pills.

Bai Wei’s grip tightened, her eyes flashing fiercely.

She knew what finding contraceptive pills in the trash meant.

Did Dan Hanjie stop Qin Youxuan from using contraception?

No, that couldn’t be…

Her brother had told her about Dan Hanjie’s unique upbringing. He not only didn’t like women’s touch, he wouldn’t consider having children with anyone…

She had worked so hard to get close to him, barely managing to get closer after her brother’s death.

Yet Qin Youxuan had already become his woman…

No, nobody could beat her to this, no one could!

With a burst of anger, Bai Wei threw the birth control pills back into the trash, turned and quickly left the room, heading towards the study.

Arriving at the door, she was about to knock when she realized that it’s not fully shut.

“Jie, it’s me. I have something to discuss with you…”

Standing outside the door, Bai Wei called out softly several times, but received no response.

She anxiously bit her lip.

After grappling with her thoughts for a while, she finally pushed open the door to the study.

“Jie, may I come in?”

“…”

Her calls were met with silence.

“Ah!”

Upon stepping into the pitch-black study, Bai Wei was startled, clasping her hand over her mouth to suppress a scream.

Fumbling, she pulled out her phone, turning on the flashlight to illuminate the room and compose herself.

Her voice quivered with the edge of tears, “Jie, it’s so dark in here, where are you…”

Bai Wei stood rooted to the spot, too scared to venture further.
