Chapter 71: Quite Fearless

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Quite Fearless "Before this happened, did you have any conflicts with anyone, or did anything special occur?" Jian Liangtong’s eyes welled up with tears, and she shook her head, "No. I didn’t have any conflicts with anyone, and nothing special happened." The police paused, "Miss Jin, have you ever offended anyone or had unpleasant experiences with classmates?" Jian Liangtong thought for a moment and shook her head. At school, apart from her, Jin Jumo rarely interacted with classmates, had a harmonious relationship with them, but was not close. She had never heard of anyone disliking her or having conflicts with her. Upon hearing this, the police exchanged glances with another officer who was taking notes, then said to Jian Liangtong, "I understand, Miss Jian." "Officer..." Jian Liangtong bit her lower lip, "Officer brother, will Ju Zi be in danger?" The officer looked at Jian Liangtong’s anxious eyes, paused, and gave her a reassuring smile, "Don’t worry." "..." After finishing the statement, Jian Liangtong refused to leave the police station. Huo Shaojun frowned deeply, "Are you planning to stay here forever?" Jian Liangtong’s eyes were wet, and upon hearing this, she glanced at Huo Shaojun, her voice hoarse, "You go." Very well! It seems this girl really plans to stay here waiting for news. Huo Shaojun tightened his lips, suddenly stood up, and without any explanation, picked up Jian Liangtong horizontally, heading straight for the police station’s exit. "... Huo Shaojun, what are you doing? Put me down!" Jian Liangtong was shocked, stunned for a few seconds before struggling. Huo Shaojun’s eyes flicked coldly at Jian Liangtong, "Aside from being an eyesore here, I can’t think of any other use for you staying!" "Who am I an eyesore for?" Jian Liangtong’s watery eyes filled with grievance. Huo Shaojun’s face sank deeper, pressed his lips tightly, and said nothing further. "Brother." Jian Liangtong called him softly. Huo Shaojun’s back stiffened, and he looked down at her. Jian Liangtong’s throat was blocked, her eyes filled with red veins like a spiderweb across her eyeballs, "Ju Zi was taken right in front of me. I watched helplessly as she was taken away. I could do nothing. I’m so worried about her. If anything really happens to her, how can I survive?" Huo Shaojun’s eyes reflected a trace of emotion, "She’ll be fine." "Just let me stay here, I don’t want to go back alone. I want to wait for her together." Jian Liangtong said hoarsely. "No." Huo Shaojun’s tone was firm, leaving no room for discussion. Jian Liangtong bit her lower lip, tears rolled down in big drops. Huo Shaojun hardened his heart and, without looking at her again, carried her decisively towards the Range Rover. Jin Jumo was awakened by cold! Upon opening her eyes, the surroundings were pitch black, and she couldn’t see anything. Her heart turned cold. She tentatively tried to move her body, but found she couldn’t. Nerves tensed, Jin Jumo took a deep breath and smiled, "In my current state, there’s no need for ghostly tricks, is there?" "..." What responded to her was silence. But Jin Jumo was sure the person who had tied her was definitely beside her. "Hmph." After a long while, a low snort unexpectedly swept by Jin Jumo’s ear. The area behind Jin Jumo’s ear went numb. "No screams or fear as expected, quite brave." The man spoke through a voice changer, his voice rough and deep, his original voice unrecognizable. Jin Jumo squinted, "Han Feng." "... What did you say?" Even through the disguise of the voice changer, his nervousness was evident. "I know it’s you, Han Feng." Jin Jumo said calmly. Suddenly, breathing near her ear became heavier. After a moment. The originally dark and lightless space suddenly brightened. The white light was dazzling, and Jin Jumo turned her head slightly, squinting her eyes. But in the next moment, her chin was suddenly clamped forcefully by a hand, and her face was forcibly turned to one side. Jin Jumo’s breathing deepened, and the face she saw was full of hatred and fury—it was Han Feng just as she thought! Han Feng stared coldly at Jin Jumo’s calm face, his hand on her chin suddenly gripping her neck, growling, "How can you be so calm?" Calm? With her hands tied behind the chair, Jin Jumo clenched them tightly, her eyes calmly meeting Han Feng’s, "I’m not calm, I’m just curious what makes you think it’s my fault you’re in your current situation?" "Stop pretending! Do you dare to act but not bear the consequences?" Han Feng suddenly tightened his grip on Jin Jumo’s neck. Jin Jumo was forced to raise her head, her breathing impaired, causing her cheeks to flush unnaturally. She pressed her lips tightly, "There’s no grudge between you and me, why would I want to harm you?" "A woman’s heart is the most venomous!" Han Feng sneered coldly, glaring angrily at Jin Jumo’s face. With her throat constricted, Jin Jumo could no longer speak, her brows furrowing in discomfort, gasping as she looked at Han Feng. In the moment before Jin Jumo suffocated, Han Feng finally released his hand. Jin Jumo lowered her head, taking deep breaths. "I debuted at twenty-two, followed Wen Qiye at twenty-three, and became famous. I acted in big director Lin Geng’s film and collaborated with superstar Huo Shaojun. The company had already planned my next five years of development. If I followed the company’s plan, I might be the next superstar." Han Feng clenched his fist, coldly glaring down at Jin Jumo, his tone filled with resentment. "I’m only twenty-four this year, but I have no future anymore. Do you know what I’m feeling now? I wish I could kill you!" Jin Jumo’s eyelashes trembled slightly, she looked up at Han Feng, "Indeed, I can’t understand how you’re feeling right now, just as I can’t understand why you believe it’s my fault you’re in this situation. You’re twenty-four, and I’m only twenty. I haven’t even graduated from university. I have no background, no reason to do something like this." "No background?" Han Feng roared in frustration, spinning twice on the spot before glaring viciously at Jin Jumo, "No background? President Rong of the Rong Group invested billions into New锐 Film and Television for you. No background? Just because I confessed my feelings to you last time, Third Young Master Xiao and President Rong ruined my reputation. No background? President Rong pressured Wen Qiye to blacklist me? No background, and you dare claim you have no background!" Rong Mochen? Jin Jumo did not hide her surprise, her expression dazed and disbelieving, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Between Mr. Rong and I..." "Mr. Rong?" Han Feng suddenly grabbed Jin Jumo’s collar, "You call him Mr. Rong and still say there’s nothing between you?" Their relationship wasn’t enough to make him do these things for her! Jin Jumo’s face tightened, she looked steadily at Han Feng, "How can you be sure it’s President Rong orchestrating things from behind the scenes and not someone else?" "In Z City, other than Third Young Master Xiao and President Rong, who else has the power to make Wen Qiye comply?" Han Feng sneered. "Even so, we can’t be sure it’s President Rong." Jin Jumo frowned. "Who else but him?" Han Feng fiercely glared at Jin Jumo, "You and President Rong’s relationship doesn’t need me to spell it out, does it? At the end of the day, you’re the same as me. I thought we were on the same path, that being with me wouldn’t make either of us look down on the other, that you might even use your relationship with Mr. Rong to help me in my career. Yet, in the end, I fell into the hands of a bitch like you!" As Han Feng spoke, he suddenly raised his hand. Jin Jumo tensed, watching him warily, quickly saying, "Han Feng, whether you believe it or not, I really didn’t know about this at all." "Even if you didn’t know, you can’t escape responsibility." Han Feng’s hand, originally aimed for Jin Jumo’s face, slammed fiercely on the back of her chair instead. Jin Jumo’s heart trembled, and she pressed her lips tightly together.
