Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the door.

A hint of panic flashed across Bai Yuanzhou's eyes, and he hurriedly pulled up his pants.

The next second, Shi Jinyuan and his men broke in.

He stood at the door, his deep eyes gleaming with a cold light like a sharp sword.

"Bai Yuanzhou!"

Ying Ruxing collapsed to the ground with the corners of her lips raised.

Shi Jinyuan, you are finally here.

Bai Yuanzhou threw away the camera in his hand, buckled his belt, and said quickly, "Uncle, it's not what you see. It was her father, it was her father who gave her to me!"

Shi Jinyuan pushed him away and picked up the person on the ground horizontally.

Ying Ruxing buried her face in his arms, her tears silently soaking his coat.

Feeling the wetness on his chest, Shi Jinyuan suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

"I'll deal with you when I come back."

He threw down a sentence, then strode away holding Ying Ruxing.

The assistant behind him picked up the camera on the ground and looked at Bai Yuanzhou with pity.

Bai Yuanzhou's back was covered in cold sweat and his teeth were chattering uncontrollably.

Bai Yuanzhou hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed a number, then cried out, "Mom, I'm in trouble!"

In the car.

Ying Ruxing frowned. The rope on his wrist had been untied, but his wrist was bruised due to wear and tear from being tied up for a long time.

There were tiny wounds one by one, and although they were not serious, they were shocking to look at.

Shi Jinyuan hugged her and put his suit jacket on her. He didn't dare to use too much force for fear of touching her wound.

"Hold on a little longer, we'll be at the hospital soon."

Shi Jinyuan's voice was very soft. Ying Ruxing nodded and closed her eyes.

"Mr. Shi, I'm so tired. I want to sleep for a while."

He pressed his thin lips into a line, "Go to sleep, I'm here."

Ying Ruxing fell asleep in his arms. Perhaps because she had too many wounds on her body and they were too painful, she slept very uneasily.

He stared down at her, feeling indescribably complicated.

An hour and a half ago, Shi Yin received a message asking for help on her mobile phone.

When Shi Yin found out it was her who sent the message, she was horrified and called him several times, crying and asking him to go find Ying Ruxing.

Shi Jinyuan originally thought that it was Ying Ruxing's trick again, but after seeing the message Shi Yin received, he realized something was wrong.

There were no extra words in the message, only the two words "help".

Shi Jinyuan immediately asked his assistant to check Bai Yuanzhou's whereabouts. After knowing that he had gone to Ying's house today, he immediately connected the dots.

When he arrived at the Ying family, Bai Yuanzhou had already left with Ying Ruxing, and there was no one at the Ying family.

After several twists and turns, he finally found the apartment under Bai Yuanzhou's name.

When they arrived at the hospital, Ying Ruxing was still in a coma and did not respond no matter how Shi Jinyuan called her.

He realized something was wrong and immediately sent the person to the emergency room.

She had whip marks on her body, swelling on both sides of her cheeks, marks on her hands from being tied up, and she was sleeping so deeply because she had taken sleeping pills.

The doctor performed debridement and simple wound treatment. Because the dosage of sleeping pills was within the normal range, gastric lavage was not recommended and she could only wake up on her own.

After listening to the doctor's diagnosis, Shi Jinyuan suppressed his anger and thanked him.

You can imagine how much she suffered.

"Sir, the eldest lady called just now and said that Bai Yuanzhou has gone abroad."

"Going abroad? You're running pretty fast."

Shi Jinyuan sneered, "My sister knows about him?"

"I guess they don't know. They just said they had something to do at the company and they left in a hurry. They won't be back for three or four days."

Shi Jinyuan clasped his hands together and nodded indifferently, "Got it."

"Tell the finance department not to remit the dividends for the last three months to him."

...

When Ying Ruxing woke up, Shi Jinyuan was sitting on the sofa beside her, handling emails on his computer.

"Would you like some water?" he asked.

Ying Ruxing nodded, and when she moved her hand, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist.

She gasped.

Shi Jinyuan brought the cup of water to her lips, helped her up, and let her half lean in his arms.

"That hemp rope is too thick, and there are many tiny thorns in it. You have many wounds on your wrists. It's best not to move."

Ying Ruxing drank the water but did not move away. She looked up at him, tears streaming down her face.

"Don't cry, I've already punished him."

Shi Jinyuan frowned and wiped away her tears with a piece of paper, "Although it may not satisfy you, he will be too busy to take care of himself in the short term."

"Thank you." Ying Ruxing choked up.

“You’re welcome. I’m not doing this just for you.”

"This is not just a matter between you and him, but also a matter of face for the Bai and Shi families. This matter cannot escalate and must end here."

Shi Jinyuan lowered his voice.

Ying Ruxing nodded, but she couldn't hide the grievance on her face.

"I know that the arm cannot twist the thigh, not to mention that my father gave me to him personally."

Ying Ruxing's almost transparent face was covered with traces of tears.

She is already beautiful, and she looks even more pitiful when she cries.

"I just... it hurts."

She choked with sobs, her eyes slowly drooped, and she lifted her sleeves. The whip wounds were horrifying to see, and the redness and swelling could not be suppressed even after applying medicine.

"He whipped me with a whip, and he took a lot of pictures of me and said he would sell them online..."

Ying Ruxing grabbed his sleeve and said, "Shi Jinyuan, please help me. Those photos cannot be leaked."

"The photos have been destroyed, don't worry." Shi Jinyuan pursed his lips, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Ying Ruxing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Besides these, what else did he do?" Shi Jinyuan asked her, with a trace of pity in his eyes.

Ying Ruxing lowered her eyes, "He is suppressing me secretly and not letting me join the crew to film. If I can't survive, I will have to go home and arrange marriage."

"He is just waiting for my father to use me to exchange for benefits for the Ying family."

Ying Ruxing laughed bitterly.

"Do you want to cancel the engagement?"

Ying Ruxing raised her head suddenly, a light flashing in her eyes, "Is it okay?"

"I'll help you."

Seeing her misty eyes suddenly light up and reflecting his figure clearly, Shi Jinyuan's heart skipped a beat.

Ying Ruxing buried her face in his arms, "Shi Jinyuan, you are so nice."

Her hands tightly hugged his waist, and Shi Jinyuan pulled her hands away, "Doesn't it hurt so much?"

"Then you blow it."

She put her hand to his lips, her sparkling eyes making it hard to refuse.

Restraint and impulse were struggling desperately, the color in the man's eyes became deeper and deeper, and his throat rolled.

Seeing that he didn't move, Ying Ruxing took the initiative to hook her arms around his neck and half-knelt between his legs.

The red lips moved closer and closer, and when they were an inch away from his lips, he suddenly grabbed her waist.

Then he gently pushed her away.

Shi Jinyuan stood up and said, "The wound hasn't healed yet, don't open it again."

Ying Ruxing blinked and reached out to hold him, "What are you afraid of?"

"Shi Jinyuan, are you afraid of falling in love with me, so you don't dare to get close to me?"

Shi Jinyuan's eyes darkened slightly, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and he broke free from her hand.

"Shi Jinyuan, you obviously care about me and feel sorry for me, why don't you dare to admit it?"
