As he said this, he held her tightly with one hand and untied the rope on her wrist with the other. Xian Zihao looked at the red mark on her wrist, which had blood oozing out from it. His eyes were ice-cold, but when his gaze turned to Jiang Ruolan's face, his gaze gradually warmed up.

Qin Gengxin let the thugs go and quickly walked to the bedside to look at Jiang Ruolan, only to see that her eyes were staring at him without blinking. Her hands and feet had already regained their freedom, but she seemed powerless to move, with a layer of mist in her eyes.

"Jiang Ruolan?" Qin Gengxin frowned and tried to touch her. His hand was shaking. Jiang Ruolan's body shuddered in that instant as she curled herself up into Xian Zihao's embrace.

Xian Zihao didn't say anything and used his thick jacket to wrap her tightly. He gently hugged her in his embrace as if he was afraid of hurting her. Xian Zihao holding Jiang Ruolan like he was holding a treasure that was almost gone, and his eyes were filled with love.

"Let's go home." Xian Zihao whispered into her ear.

Seeing the expression on Jiang Ruolan's face, Qin Gengxin's thoughts went back to winter seven years ago. He suddenly turned around and brutally kicked the thug in the leg. Qin Gengxin gritting his teeth while cursing, "Damn it!"

After a moment, he looked back at Xian Zihao. Qin Gengxin walked over and said, "There's a wound on your shoulder. Let me carry her."

"No need!" Xian Zihao's voice was cold and decisive. His cold gaze swept across those thugs. "The mastermind behind this is Wei Donghai. He should have been the first to escape after receiving the news."

With that, Xian Zihao hugged Jiang Ruolan tightly and walked out.

The door to the basement was opened, and more than a dozen enforcers rushed in. Xian Zihao said in a low voice, "Take these men away. They must be alive. Not a single one of them must die."

His voice was low, yet it was so close to gnashing his teeth as he carried Jiang Ruolan and prepared to leave.

"President Xian, your injuries …" Assistant Bai rushed over, but when she saw Jiang Ruolan in Xian Zihao's arms, her face turned stiff. Then she saw the blood seeping out of Xian Zihao's shoulder and immediately exclaimed.

"I won't die!" Xian Zihao's voice had a layer of frost on it, but when he lowered his head to look at Jiang Ruolan, his face once again had a gentle warmth. He stroked her swollen red face and glanced at the blood-red scar below her neck and on her wrist and ankle.

Ignoring everyone, Xian Zihao tightly wrapped his coat on Jiang Ruolan's body and carried her out of the crowd.

There were countless police cars parked outside the bar. The moment Jiang Ruolan's body touched the cold wind, she shrank into Xian Zihao's embrace.

"Ruolan, don't be afraid." Xian Zihao said softly. His voice was right next to her ear, clearly and firmly conveying his warmth, dispelling her fear and nervousness.

Then, he no longer gave her a chance to be cold or scared. Xian Zihao immediately carried her into the car and slammed the door shut, blocking everyone's gazes.

Qin Gengxin walked quickly out of the bar. He stood right where he was as he watched Xian Zihao carry Jiang Ruolan inside the car. There was anxiousness and worry in his eyes.

The bar was already surrounded by police cars, and soldiers and polices had completely surrounded the crowd.

As soon as Jiang Ruolan was carried into the car, she could smell the scent of blood in the air, but she could not react for a moment and didn't know where the smell came from.

She could only sit on Xian Zihao's lap with empty eyes. Xian Zihao locked all the doors and buttoned up the buttons of his jacket one by one. He then took out a clean thin blanket and wrapped it around Jiang Ruolan from top to bottom, slowly soothing her heart with gentleness.

Suddenly the scene where she was pressed down on the bed by a few men played in Jiang Ruolan's mind. Xian Zihao was hugging Jiang Ruolan tightly, kissing her forehead repeatedly, as if he didn't care at all about the humiliation she had once suffered.

Didn't Xian Zihao feel disgusted with her?

Jiang Ruolan wasn't clean anymore.

Would Xian Zihao despise her for being so filthy?

Jiang Ruolan didn't have much strength on her body, and she could only let Xian Zihao's arm tighten around her waist. However, she struggled for a bit, but he firmly held her body down.

"Jiang Ruolan, listen carefully." Xian Zihao knew what she was thinking at the moment. He held Jiang Ruolan firmly in his arms, his eyes calm and serious, but at the same time, he grabbed her face with his hands and made her look at him. "You are my wife. No matter what happened, we will face it together! Trying to run away instead of facing it off was the stupidest way. I know you wouldn't do that!"

Jiang Ruolan looked at him blankly. She looked at the determination and traces of tenderness in his eyes.

Even though they managed to make it in time, they weren't reduced to the worst situation yet. But to her, all of this intertwined with her past pain and it became an incredible agony.

Jiang Ruolan could hardly free herself from Xian Zihao's grip. She just wanted to curl into a ball so that no one could see her dirty body. She wanted to go far to heal her wounds. This body had been kissed by the disgusting men, and even she, herself, felt disgusted from top to bottom.

Xian Zihao's hand tightened around her waist and his calm face showed a slight paleness and restlessness. His black eyes stared at her stiff expression. Xian Zihao's gentleness and warmth slowly brought her back into the light.

Xian Zihao tightened his grip as he slowly felt Jiang Ruolan calming down. "Let's go back. The weather is too cold and the temperature in the basement is too low. You need to take a hot shower to get rid of the cold. You can't get sick."

Jiang Ruolan nodded in his arms.

The smell of blood in the air becomes heavier and thicker. Jiang Ruolan suddenly froze and raised her head to look over her shoulder. The light brown shirt was dyed red, and she suddenly remembered that Xian Zihao was injured last night.

Assistant Bai said that Xian Zihao was still unconscious, so why did he appear here now?!
