Su Jianan hated it when others touched her. She stomped on Shao Mingzhong's foot with her delicate heels that moved swiftly and said, "Don't. Touch. Me!"

She had actually been very forceful. Shao Mingzhong felt an intense pain but did not yell out in pain in order to save himself from embarrassment. He could only hold it in until his features beneath his mask were all twisted. His blade slid across Su Jianan's throat and he said, "Do you want to die?"

"Calm down. What can you use to threaten Lu Boyan if I die?"

Su Jianan smiled lightly. She moved her hand which was by her side...

The kidnapper was speechless. He could only yell at Lu Boyan once more, "Lu Boyan, I'll give you five minutes. Make a choice!"

Lu Boyan stared at Su Jianan deeply. Everyone thought that he would choose Su Jianan.

"Let Ruoxi go."

Many people doubted their own ears when they heard his answer. However, Han Ruoxi was really let go, unharmed. Then, they pitied Su Jianan.

However, they were surprised that Su Jianan was calm throughout, as if she knew long ago that Lu Boyan would give her up.

Ah, she is indeed a woman who could become a medical examiner.

Shao Mingzhong smiled, as if he was very satisfied with Lu Boyan's choice. He called Shao Mingren over and they quickly left the banquet hall with Su Jianan.

The guests in the banquet hall all started discussing the matter, their nerves still not yet abated. Han Ruoxi stumbled toward Lu Boyan.

"Boyan." Her voice trembled slightly. She tried to hold Lu Boyan's arm as if she were trying to find support.

"Find someone to send you home."

Lu Boyan's gaze remained at where Su Jianan had been brought away. With that, he attempted to leave.

"Don't go!" Han Ruoxi caught his hand just in time. "The two of them were here for you. It's too dangerous. Can you just leave it to the police?"

Lu Boyan glanced at Han Ruoxi and then pulled his hand away and chased after Su Jianan.

Han Ruoxi stayed at where she was dazedly, watching Lu Boyan's back.

If she had not seen wrongly earlier, there was anxiety in Lu Boyan's eyes.

Didn't he say that he did not care for Su Jianan? Didn't he say that they were getting married just to make his mother happy? Why was he anxious over her?

Everyone thought that Lu Boyan had chosen Han Ruoxi in a time of danger. Yet, they did not know that Han Ruoxi would rather be given up by Lu Boyan. Then, the person he was chasing after right now would be her...

Outside the banquet hall, Lu Boyan called Shen Yuechuan the moment he entered the elevator.

Much time had passed since the incident. Shen Yuechuan should long have received a call from the hotel and began his investigation.

Indeed, when his call passed through, Shen Yuechuan said, "The Brothers of Shao left from the basement carpark. I've already gotten someone to watch them. Follow in your car. I'll take people to meet up with you."

Lu Boyan got his car and followed the directions Shen Yuechuan sent, racing after the Brothers of Shao. His face was so dark and cold, it was as if a storm was brewing.

They had dared to lay their hands on Su Jianan. It was doubtless that they were seeking their death!

On the other side, Shen Yuechuan quickly got an ace team that happened to be on the mission in A City. When the captain of the team heard that their opponents were a pair of brothers of a small bankrupted company, he cussed and said, "The police can handle such small fry. Why do you need us?"
