Jiang Yining’s awareness hadn’t fully kicked in when her body instinctively resisted. She grabbed Yan Ruo’s arm and twisted it to the side to avoid the syringe.

“You deliberately set me up? Yan Ruo, you’re really courting death!”

Jiang Yining gritted her teeth and said word by word.

“You’ve caused me so much misery. I’m just returning 1% of what you’ve done to me!” Yan Ruo continued to exert force.

The driver cooperated and steered the car to the left. Jiang Yining and Yan Ruo rolled to the other side.

Their positions had also changed. Previously, Jiang Yining had suppressed Yan Ruo, but now it was Yan Ruo who was on top, so it was easier for her to use her fists and kicks and strength!

Yan Ruo’s eyes were vicious. She gripped the syringe with both hands and inched closer to Jiang Yining. “Don’t move around. If it pierces your pretty face and ruins it, you’ll be finished for the rest of your life.”

“Yan Ruo, aren’t you afraid that your father will be hurt by your actions?” Jiang Yining questioned sternly.

She thought, “Father…”

When Yan Ruo thought of her father, her expression momentarily flickered. She had no mother and her father had been raised since she was young. She had the deepest feelings for him.

However, her father, whom she loved the most, had chosen Jiang Yining at her most difficult time.

How could she accept this!

Yan Ruo chuckled and said, “Jiang Yining, without you, my father will only be devoted to me. 1 won’t allow him to have other women in his eyes.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Ruo intensified her assault.

The space in the car was cramped, and there was not much room to move around.

Jiang Yining and Yan Ruo were like trapped beasts, constantly hurting each other.

The driver saw that Yan Ruo took too long to deal with Jiang Yining. He said anxiously, “Miss Yan, hurry up!”

They were in the city center, with many temporary police checks.

If they were stopped by them and realized that something was wrong, it would be over!

When Yan Ruo heard this, she became even more anxious.

However, the more anxious she was, the more mistakes she made. The needle accidentally pierced the back seat of the car, with most of the liquid inside being pushed out by Jiang Yining.

Yan Ruo opened her mouth and bit Jiang Yining’s hand, forcing her to let go.

While Jiang Yining was in pain.

She pulled out the syringe and stuck it into her body.

Under Jiang Yining’s cold gaze, she pushed all the remaining drugs in.

Then, she withdrew the needle.

She threw it at her feet and panted heavily.

Jiang Yining said sternly, “Yan Ruo, 1’11 make you regret what you did today!”

“I regret it? Jiang Yining, if you beg me now, I might be able to give you a less humiliating ending.” Yan Ruo gloated.

Jiang Yining stared at her silently, her eyes full of killing intent.

However, it was gradually controlled by the drug. Her vision turned dark, and at the same time, her body began to heat up…

Yan Ruo noticed that Jiang Yining had fallen into unconsciousness.

Only then did she feel relieved.

Originally, she had deliberately increased the dosage to ensure that she would faint.

Although most of it was wasted, it should be able to last until the hotel.

Finally, the most challenging part was resolved.

Yan Ruo’s strength seemed to have been sucked out of her body as she weakly slumped on the chair.

They arrived at the hotel.

Yan Ruo and the driver carried the unconscious Jiang Yining out of the car.

They entered the hotel through the back door and proceeded to the top-floor private room.

Then, she made a phone call to Yuan Luochen.

“Second Young Master Yuan, the matter has been settled. You can take over the rest at any time.”

“Well done. You can leave from there first.”

“Okay.”

Yan Ruo hung up the phone, looked back in the direction of the private room, and turned to leave.

In the private room, the clean space was bathed in orange light.

Jiang Yining lay motionless on the bed. Other than the faint sound of breathing, there was no other sound.

After a moment, her fingertips moved.

Immediately after, her eyelashes flickered.

The next second…

Jiang Yining opened her eyes abruptly and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling. She propped her head up and tried to sit up.

In the car earlier, she had already estimated that she wouldn’t be able to fight against the driver and Yan Ruo alone.

Therefore, she deliberately pushed away most of the drug.

Then, she pretended to lose to Yan Ruo and let her inject the remaining dose into her body.

This dosage wasn’t enough to make her completely unconscious, but it would cause the corresponding symptoms.

At this moment, Jiang Yining felt dizzy and her body was heating up.

It was really uncomfortable, as if she was being roasted on fire.

But she knew why Yan Ruo drugged her, so she had to act faster. Otherwise, it would be too late when Yan Ruo returned.

Jiang Yining bit her tongue and pinched her palms, forcing herself to calm down. Then, she rushed into the bathroom and washed her face with cold water.

After doing all this, her gaze fell on the razor placed on the washstand.

Without much thought, she decisively took out a blade and made three cuts on her arm.

Fresh blood flowed down her fair skin…

Jiang Yining felt that the heat in her body had mostly dissipated, and her consciousness was awakened by the pain.

She used a towel to bandage her wound briefly before returning to the bedroom. She picked up the hotel’s landline phone and dialed Lu Zhi’s number. However, when she dialed the number, it showed that the signal was restricted.

However, this wasn’t a problem for her.

Jiang Yining directly dismantled the phone and reconnected the hardware inside.

She dialed again.

This time, the call was picked up.

“Hello, is this Lu Zhi? I’m in a hotel…” Jiang Yining explained the matter simply.

When Lu Zhi heard this, he was instantly filled with rage.

He thought, “Damn Yan Ruo!”

If he caught this despicable person, he would definitely tear her into pieces!

“I’ll pick you up now.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yining said calmly, “I’m fine, but since they dared to send me to the hotel so brazenly, they must have other arrangements. Besides, they should have spies in the hotel. I couldn’t escape. I could only wait quietly and see what they would do next. Lu Zhi, you need to act fast.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

She entrusted her safety and innocence entirely to him.

How could he possibly betray her trust?

“Alright, I’ll hang up first. They should be back soon.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call, Jiang Yining called the room service and waited patiently for about three minutes.

The room service attendant delivered the things she asked for.

Jiang Yining took it and said with a faint smile, “Thank you.”

“I wish you a pleasant night.”

The attendant pushed the cart and left.

Jiang Yining took the medicine and went back to her room to treat her wound again.

The cut from the razor blade could pose a risk of tetanus if not properly treated.

She wasn’t particularly robust in terms of health.

Naturally, she had to take good care of herself.

As for whether her awakening would alert the other party, she naturally considered it and wasn’t afraid at all.

Jiang Yining had just thrown the things into the trash can when Yan Ruo rushed over with her men.

She pushed open the door and saw that Jiang Yining was still inside.

Yan Ruo visibly heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yining smiled and said, “Why are you in such a hurry? Afraid I’d run away?”

“This hotel is filled with my people.. Why should 1 be afraid of you? You won’t be able to escape even if you have wings!”
