Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 285 Get out of my way! Stay away from me!

"No, I don't know you. This is a society governed by the rule of law. I don't believe you would dare to take me away openly!" Nan Zhiyi tried to appear calm.

She had just lifted her leg to continue forward when, in the next second, two tall men grabbed her, covered her mouth, and dragged her into the VIP room. The whole thing took no more than two seconds and didn't attract the attention of anyone around her.

Do not believe?

Do you need to believe it?

"Let go! Let go of my daughter!" Nan Yun reacted and followed, blocking the group.

The man asked, "Ms. Nan, since you don't want to leave on your own, why don't you come with Miss Nan? Miss Wen is also here. Why don't you listen to what your adopted daughter has done to your biological daughter?"

Nan Yun looked at Nan Zhiyi in disbelief.

Nan Zhiyi's mouth was covered, her eyes filled with terror. She tried to shake her head, but she couldn't move an inch.

Both Nan Yun and Nan Zhiyi come from wealthy families, so they know all too well that these are underhanded methods.

They probably already have a plan to deal with public places and various channels for seeking help!

-

Half an hour later.

Nan Zhiyi was thrown into a hotel suite, and the suite door was slammed shut from the inside.

"Mommy!"

"Knowledge!"

Nan Zhiyi wanted to call for help, but she and Nan Yun were being held captive by others.

"You're breaking the law! I'm calling the police!" Nan Yun's phone had already been taken away, so she could only threaten verbally.

"Should we call the police to arrest your daughter?"

When the woman's voice came out, Nan Yun and Nan Zhiyi noticed that there were four people sitting in the reception room behind the corner.

"...Zhizhi!"

Nan Yun stared at Wen Yan in shock, her eyes revealing a subconscious sense of panic—Nan Yun remembered what she had overheard at the airport earlier.

What exactly did Zhiyi do?

Nan Yun, who was full of resentment and vowed to seek justice for herself and her daughter just a second ago, instantly deflated like a punctured balloon.

On a sofa not far away, Wen Yan and Gu Yanci sat side by side on one side, while a middle-aged couple sat on the other. The middle-aged couple exuded an air of authority; it was the middle-aged woman who had just spoken.

"Miss Wen, are you sure you want to stay? If your mother pleads with you, you'll be in a very difficult position," Jiang's mother kindly reminded her.

Wen Yan lowered her eyes and drank her water, saying calmly to the point of indifference, "If you want to plead for mercy, I can't stop you no matter where you are."

Wen Yan's attitude plunged Nan Yun's heart into ice water. She turned to her daughter, whose face was already deathly pale, and asked, "Zhiyi, what exactly did you do?"

Nan Zhiyi's lips trembled as she stared intently at Wen Yan and Gu Yanci, but she remained silent for a long time.

Why is Wen Yan sitting here unharmed?

Why do Gu Yanci and Wen Yan have no animosity towards each other?

"Ms. Nan, Miss Nan put drugged water in the room where my son and your daughter Wen Yan were staying. It's one thing for ordinary people, but my son has a heart condition, and that drug sent him straight to the hospital for emergency treatment. What kind of despicable and vicious methods has a young girl learned!"

With each word Jiang's mother spoke, Nan Yun's expression grew more incredulous.

"W-what did you say?" Nan Yun wondered if she had misheard.

"You're lying! I didn't!" Nan Zhiyi immediately defended herself, "The hotel's water is all sealed!"

"How do you know the drugged water was sealed?" Wen Yan now felt that Nan Zhiyi was stupid without realizing it. "Nan Zhiyi, from buying fake mineral water to using Aunt Ji's name to bribe the hotel cleaning staff to change the water, do you think it's difficult to find this evidence?"

"Yan, that day at the hotel, I was just helping Aunt Ji Chang pass on a message and a room key. Didn't you call to confirm it yourself? Yan, I'm about to leave, why are you still slandering me?!" Nan Zhiyi looked at Nan Yun pitifully, "Mommy, please believe me!"

Nan Yun subconsciously looked at Wen Yan, and when she met Wen Yan's calm yet mocking gaze, she felt a chill.

She took a deep breath and looked at Nan Zhiyi again, her eyes now scrutinizing: "Zhiyi, what exactly happened?"

"You don't believe me? Mommy, you don't believe me. Sure enough, you still love Yan more, you don't love me!" Nan Zhiyi was heartbroken.

"Heh." Wen Yan chuckled mockingly.

She was once tormented by Nan Yun's maternal love, but now Nan Zhiyi is using maternal love to exert pressure on Nan Yun in return. Ah, people!

Jiang's mother had no patience to watch the performance and gave the bodyguard a look.

Two bodyguards immediately restrained Nan Zhiyi, one of them pinching her mouth shut to force her to open it. Jiang's mother picked up a bottle of water and poured it directly into Nan Zhiyi's mouth.

"Ugh! Ugh—"

Nan Zhiyi tried to struggle, but couldn't break free. The water poured into the water and entered her trachea, causing her to cough violently when she was released.

"Cough cough cough! What... what did you give me to drink?" Nan Zhiyi felt weak all over and could barely stand. She clutched her neck in terror, as if she had just been given poison.

"Whatever you give my son to drink, I'll give you to drink," Jiang's mother said coldly.

Nan Zhiyi's eyes widened in horror, feeling an even greater heat rising within her. The moment the bodyguard moved slightly closer, she cried out like a startled bird, "Get away! Stay away from me!"

Then he turned to Nan Yun: "Mommy! Mommy, save me!"

"Oh? Didn't you say you didn't know about the drugged water? What are you afraid of? How do you know what kind of drug it is?" Jiang's mother sneered, then looked at Nan Yun, "Ms. Nan, this drug was found in the room where Wen Yan and my son were together. What do you think Nan Zhiyi's intentions are?"

Nan Yun's expression was extremely complex, a mixture of shock, confusion, heartache, and struggle.

Nan Zhiyi's cries for help rang in her ears. Nan Zhiyi was already out of control and wanted to take off her clothes and press her body against the ground.

Even adults can tell what kind of medicine she drank.

Is Zhiyi planning to use this drug on Zhizhi or on another man who was in the same room with Zhizhi?

Zhizhi is married. Zhizhi has a husband. Isn't Zhiyi ruining Zhizhi's relationship and reputation by doing this?

Is this what she meant by "didn't do anything"?

"Mommy, please! Only you can save me, I am your daughter!" Nan Zhiyi cried and pleaded.

Is she the only one who can save them?

How can she be saved?

It was simply a matter of asking Wen Yan.

Nan Yun closed her eyes in pain, not knowing why things had turned out this way.
