“Isn’t that the case?” Chen Jing, who hated human traffickers the most, said, “Li Mu offended you, not his child. Moreover, they have an elderly person at home.”
Jiang Dongling’s face instantly darkened, looking at her with cold eyes for the first time.
Chen Jing was stunned, feeling a bit intimidated by his gaze.
But Jiang Dongling quickly smiled again, reaching out to tuck her stray hair behind her ear: “So, in Guoer’s heart, I’m less important than a group of strangers.”
Chen Jing felt uneasy, “What do you mean?”
“I’ll say it again, I just wanted to take those two to school,” Jiang Dongling took out his military officer’s ID and other credentials, softly saying: “I was going to show them these, but they were not cooperative.”
Chen Jing calmed down, thinking carefully. Jiang Dongling’s attitude had been friendly throughout, and he didn’t seem like he was seeking revenge. But…

“Shh—” Jiang Dongling suddenly covered her lips, his expression soft, his voice low, yet inexplicably chilling: “Don’t speak. Mention anyone else, and I’ll get angry.”
Chen Jing sat up, half-leaning against the headboard, her expression calm, “First, before discussing any deal, I hope you can explain things clearly. Like who Yin Xi is, why he likes me, what illness he has, why he can be cured only with my company, and who you people are?”
Chen Jing threw out all her questions, then smiled: “After you explain everything clearly, I’ll consider whether to discuss the deal you mentioned.”
“I suggest Miss Chen listen to what the deal is first,” Yin’s mother frowned, clearly avoiding the topic.
“Never mind then,” Chen Jing’s face turned cold. “Please leave.”
After a moment of silence, Yin’s mother finally compromised.
Yin’s mother sighed: “Five years ago, at Q University’s lecture, does Miss Chen remember?”
Seeing Chen Jing nod, she continued: “Ah Xi was in the audience, watched a lecture, and changed afterward.”
“He fell in love with you at first sight, going to great lengths to collect information about you. What I’m about to say might frighten you, but Miss Chen,”
