After waiting for almost an hour, Jiang Wenyu still hadn't appeared at the agreed location, and Tao Yiran began to panic.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Wenyu grabbed Tao Yiran by the collar.
Seeing Jiang Wenyu emerge from behind, Tao Yiran let out a long sigh of relief and immediately asked, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Wenyu replied quietly, "I'm fine. Let's go; we have what we need."
Just as the two were about to leave, an alarm suddenly blared throughout the area.
"Don't move! Stay where you are!"
Soon, the chaotic crowd gathered in one place. The women's delicate faces were filled with fear, while the men's graceful postures became shaky.
Mr. Tanaka stormed down from upstairs, his face full of anger as he spoke in broken Z Country language, "Who is it? Who stole my things? I know you're injured. Hand it over and come out. I might spare your life."
"Injured? Where are you hurt?"
Tao Yiran looked at Jiang Wenyu in disbelief after hearing Mr. Tanaka's words and urgently whispered, "You said you were fine! Where are you hurt? Can you show me?"
Mr. Tanaka continued to threaten, "You’ve got a cut on your arm. Where do you think you can run to? Come out now!"
Only then did the crowd notice that someone behind Mr. Tanaka was holding a long knife, its blade covered in blood, clearly indicating that a fierce struggle had taken place.
Tao Yiran, unsure of what to think, pulled up Jiang Wenyu's sleeve. Only when she saw that there were no injuries on either arm did she feel relieved. She then began to scold softly, "What’s wrong with you? Jumping off the third floor from the very first time, and now almost getting hurt again. Don’t you know that people worry about you?"
Jiang Wenyu's struggling hands froze at Tao Yiran's words, "Don’t you know that people worry about you?" However, their actions caught the attention of Tanaka.
"You two, step forward."
Immediately, all eyes in the room turned to Tao Yiran and Jiang Wenyu. Tao Yiran silently wrapped her arms around Jiang Wenyu, ignoring her struggles as she walked over and said to Mr. Tanaka with a calm demeanor, "I apologize; my fiancée is a bit timid. She was frightened."
At that moment, someone whispered a few words in Mr. Tanaka's ear. He instantly dropped his stern expression and replaced it with a friendly demeanor, transforming completely from his earlier self.
Mr. Tanaka smiled slightly, "I’m truly sorry, Mr. Tao, for frightening your fiancée." He then noticed Jiang Wenyu in Tao Yiran's embrace and recalled the woman who had attempted to assassinate him. He had only caught a glimpse of her back before she vanished.
Tanaka quickly adopted a serious expression again, maintaining politeness as he said, "Mr. Tao, may I inspect your fiancée? After all, she seems quite suspicious at the moment."
"Suspicious? She’s been frightened today!" Tao Yiran's face flushed with anger. "How can you suspect her? And especially suspect a woman?"
Mr. Tanaka replied, "I apologize, Mr. Tao, but the person who attempted to assassinate me today was indeed a woman."
"Assassination?"
Tao Yiran looked incredulously at Jiang Wenyu in her arms, just as Jiang Wenyu managed to break free from Tao Yiran's hold.
Once Jiang Wenyu was out of Tao Yiran's way, Tanaka immediately focused on her arms. It wasn't until he found no signs of anything unusual that he put on an apologetic expression again. "Mr. Tao, I apologize for any offense today." Tanaka stepped aside to open the door wider. "Please go ahead; I hope we can consider our future cooperation carefully."
Tao Yiran pulled Jiang Wenyu's arm, eager to leave quickly. As they passed Tanaka, she heard his voice and turned back to him, saying, "I'll think about it, Mr. Tanaka."
Until they got into the car, neither of them spoke a word. It wasn't until they reached a secluded alley next to the Tao Family that Tao Yiran could no longer hold back.
"Get out."
Jiang Wenyu thought she was talking to him and immediately prepared to exit the car. However, Tao Yiran grabbed him again, insisting, "Let go."
The understanding driver had already realized the situation and quickly got out of the car, walking far away until he was out of sight.
"What's wrong with you today? You've been gloomy since you arrived. Didn't we agree that we would be fine once we got the contract? Why did you go and try to assassinate someone again?"
The more Tao Yiran thought about it, the angrier she became, her voice rising with agitation. "And what about before? That officer died when I encountered you. If it hadn't been me that day, you would have been dead! Do you understand? Can you take yourself seriously? You changed your decision without telling me! Do you know how worried I was?"
"And where exactly are you hurt? The blood on that knife doesn't lie. Even if your arm isn't injured, you could have been hurt elsewhere."
After saying this, Tao Yiran began to check Jiang Wenyu's body for injuries other than his arm. When she confirmed there were none on the front, she prepared to turn him over to check his back. However, she saw that Jiang Wenyu had curled up into himself, tears welling in his eyes and staining his cheeks a deep crimson.
