Even though Ji Nuan was drenched in rainwater from head to toe, causing her to look disheveled, her composure was impeccable. An Shuyan could not help but wish she could peek into her soul. She wanted to see through this Ji Nuan, who typically appeared to hold no talent, how exactly was she different from others?

Yet, her words had already been seen through by Ji Nuan. An Shuyan indeed had no way of refuting her.

"Tonight, if you didn't figure out the side you wish to stand on and continued by Director Mo's side, I have no way of telling you what sort of consequences you would face. But I can promise you that you wouldn't be able to survive it." Ji Nuan's tone was mild. "Only by helping me can you help yourself and the An family survive this disaster. Miss An, you had already made up your mind before coming here. Now, you wish to make use of leaving to threaten me?"

An Shuyan's expression was not very good, but she tried her best to maintain her smile. "At such a time, you remain so rational. I truly wonder if you really do love CEO Mo."

"At the most uncertain moment, one has to remain the most rational. Especially when dealing with Miss An, if I were to lose my head, I really wouldn't be able to live up to the position of Mrs. Mo." Ji Nuan's attitude was calm, her tone soft.

Elder Mo could not hear what the two of them were discussing from the side. After a while, he became impatient and approached them to clarify the situation.

Hearing the elder's approach, An Shuyan did not waste any more time. She softly said, "I'm not sure how long that secretary will be unconscious, but she has definitely been locked into that room. After all, it's been more than four hours. That sort of torment, I'm not sure how long CEO Mo would be able to endure."

Ji Nuan finally then knitted her brows, staring at her.

"He is in Wan Li Xing Chen Hotel on Bin Hai District on the 33rd floor, room 3320. But the entire 33rd floor has been locked down by Uncle Mo's people and basically cannot be accessed right now. I'll leave my words here. Think of a solution on your own."

After finishing her words, An Shuyan turned to face the approaching Elder Mo. "Grandfather Mo, today's incident has caused you to experience a fright. I'm really sorry about this. Uncle Mo has always been a domineering man. No one can stop him from doing the things he wishes to accomplish. You should be aware of his temper as well."

Afterward, An Shuyan tugged Elder Mo to the side to continue speaking. Ji Nuan did not follow them. She glanced outside the windows, at the flashing lightning and the massive storm.

The words An Shuyan had spoken were also meant to remind Ji Nuan that although Elder Mo has a strong position in Hai Cheng, the Shine Group and most of the Mo family's power lies in Mo Shaoze's hands. Even if he were unable to resist Elder Mo's suppression on the surface, if he truly feared the elder's power, he would not have committed such an act.

If she had Grandfather Mo send someone to the hotel, firstly, they might not be able to bring Mo Jingshen out successfully. Secondly, it was very likely that henceforth, Grandfather Mo would cut off all ties with his own son. This meant that it would open up opportunities for others to scheme and bring the Mo family into internal chaos.

—-

In fifteen minutes, Ji Nuan returned to her room to dry her hair and change her clothes. She stepped out of the door, ignoring the obstruction of the entire Mo family and charged out of the Mo family main gates.

Right before she rushed off, she left Grandfather Mo with these words: "Grandfather, I'm going to bring Jing Shen back! Wait for me!"

Bin Hai District, Wan Li Xing Chen Hotel.

This was a newly opened, seven-star hotel. It had only begun operation for a month and was currently not in Hai Cheng's record. When investigating, it was indeed easy for one to miss the existence of this hotel.

As it was newly opened, the security outside the hotel was still being set up and was not exceptionally comprehensive. The rooms were also expensive, and because it was located in Bin Hai Road where the traffic flow was small, the number of occupants and workers was also low.

Ji Nuan drove over in a rush and left the keys with the security outside. She carried her bag and walked in through the doors. Her appearance did not cause one to think that she had come in with any specific goals. She was slightly disheveled, but sweet-tempered, appearing as though she had come to seek shelter from the heavy rain outside. Her sudden appearance did not draw any suspicion from the workers.

After handing over her identity card, Ji Nuan stood by the counter and said, "This hotel offers rooms with sea view, right? Can you give me a room on a higher floor so that the view is better? I don't mind the price. It's best if it's above the 30th floor."

"My apologies, Miss. Tonight, the 31st to 35th floor have all been booked. There are only vacancies from the 30th floor and below. Will room 3016 do? It's on the 30th floor," the employee asked politely.

Ji Nuan smiled mildly and nodded. "Sure."

"All right, this is the key card for room 3016. Please keep it safe."

After receiving the key card, Ji Nuan walked quickly into the elevator. Without looking at anyone, she went upstairs and entered the room at the fastest possible speed.

The door opened and closed. Ji Nuan tossed aside her bag and rushed to the window. She was mindless of the heavy storm outside and tugged open the floor-to-ceiling windows partitioning off the balcony. She walked out, raising her head to look toward the 33rd floor.

Earlier on, she had taken a good look through the floor levels. Room 3320 was only two doors away from her room in 3016. That meant that the room Mo Jingshen was in was located on the left!

Ji Nuan stared upward, tightening her grip on the balcony. She tested the firmness of the handrails around the balcony and turned back to retrieve her sport shoes from her bag. She removed her heels, put on her sport shoes, and tightened the laces.

Finally, she tossed the bag on the bed, keeping only the key card with her. She then returned to the balcony, jumping upward with force and carefully stepping on the balcony handrails. At the same time, her gaze slanted toward the protruding, external surface of the air-conditioning.

She reached her feet out tentatively. Very good, this air-conditioning was installed very safely. There were also firm and square iron railings surrounding it.

Ji Nuan did not dare to look down. After all, the height of a 30-storey building was something she had never dared to challenge in both her lives.

She strengthened her heart, gripping onto the iron railings around the air-conditioning as she carefully stepped on the firewall and iron railings that all high-rise buildings have installed.

Step by step, 31st floor, 32nd floor... 33rd floor!

The shower head inside room 3320 was turned on. Mo Jingshen, who had taken more than ten cold showers, picked up his shirt and wore it. He then walked out of the bathroom.

His dark, boundless, black pupils scanned the unconscious woman on the bed coldly. Stern, murderous intent surrounded his body.

Mo Jingshen carelessly threw the blanket on the bed onto the woman's body, wrapping her tightly from head to toe. As he turned his head, he heard strange movements from outside the window.

His cold gaze moved towards the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of the balcony. From the slight gap between the curtains, he saw a hand stretch up, tightly gripping the balcony handrails and tugging forward—
