Nian Junting drove his car and sped to the foot of Jiang Yuning’s apartment.

He frantically went up the apartment block and pressed the doorbell to Jiang Yuning’s house. After a long time, a burly man finally opened the door.

Nian Junting could recognize him at one glance. That man was among those who came to pick Jiang Yuning up when he first came to his house. Nian Junting had not seen this man around Jiang Yuning for a very long time, and yet he appeared again today.

Nian Junting’s expression became solemn, and he could tell that something was amiss. “Where’s Jiang Yuning?” he asked.

“He’s in his room,” Xu Gang answered. He then moved aside to let Nian Junting into the house. “Mr. Nian, you’re just in time. I hope you can help us persuade him.”

Uncle Han walked over and sighed as he said, “I’m sure you’re much more aware of certain matters than Miss Nian. Yesterday, our Mister said that you’ve even instructed the Property Management Manager to investigate if anyone suspicious had appeared in the neighborhood before the incident. I’m sure you’ve already figured out that yesterday’s elevator incident wasn’t purely an accident.”

Nian Junting’s expression turned cold, and he replied, “What are your thoughts about this? You guys are the cause of this!”

“We hope that Mr. Jiang and Miss Nian can stay separately for the time being,” Xu Gang said before he continued to explain the plans that his superiors have worked out. “The organization has already committed more than 500 crimes all over the world since around five years ago. The funds amounted to 100 billion US dollars, and the crimes that they’ve committed were all high IQ crimes. Morally corrupt researchers from various countries have joined their organization, and we still couldn’t locate their hideout up till now. Mr. Nian, you were from the special forces, so we hope you can understand our feelings.”

Nian Junting clenched his fists tightly. He had known that Jiang Yuning was not a simple man since a long time ago, and yet the thing that he least wanted to see still happened.

Nian Junting ignored Xu Gang and headed straight for the master bedroom, but the room was locked from the inside.

“I have the key,” Uncle Han said. He then retrieved a key and opened the door. “Our Mister hasn’t come out of the room ever since he went in yesterday. He neither ate nor drank!”

Nian Junting entered the room and found Jiang Yuning huddled on the huge bed. He was tightly tucked under his blanket, and only his head popped out from beneath. A stubble had grown all over his chin, and he looked less well-groomed and slightly more dispirited. He was quiet, and his eyes were shut as though he was asleep.

Not going easy on Jiang Yuning, Nian Junting immediately yanked his blanket away. Jiang Yuning immediately curled up into a ball and hugged his head as he murmured, “I don’t want to break up. I don’t want to break up…”

A look of pity flashed across Nian Junting’s face.

Nian Junting then pulled him up and said, “Nobody’s asking you to break up with Nian Xi.”

When Jiang Yuning heard Nian Xi’s name, his eyelashes quivered, and he then opened his eyes slowly. When he saw Nian Junting, he immediately dived back under his blanket in fear and said, “I’m not talking to you! You must be here to force me to break up with Nian Xi!”

Nian Junting could feel the corners of his lips twitching.

He wondered how evil he must have seemed for Jiang Yuning to be so terrified of him.

“I’m not intending to force you guys to break up,” Nian Junting said as he rubbed the area between his brows. He then forcefully yanked the blankets away from Jiang Yuning and threw them onto the ground. As he was tossing the blanket, a woman’s lingerie suddenly fell out from it.

Stupefied for a moment, Nian Junting quickly hauled Jiang Yuning up in anger and asked, “Who the heck does this belong to? Which stage have you and Nian Xi reached?”

“I’m not telling you…” Jiang Yuning violently shook him off before lunging for the lingerie and hugging it in his chest.

Nian Junting inhaled several deep breaths of air, before speaking in a cold and low voice, “Since things have reached this state, do you think that everything will be fine as long as you hide and avoid everyone? Have you ever considered how worried Nian Xi was when she couldn’t reach you at all for the past two days? Her thoughts must be running wild now. Hurry up and give her a call.”

“I won’t. You guys want us to break up!” Jiang Yuning replied with his head hung low.
