The person He Ran had in his grip was wearing Endless Night’s familiar work clothes and a pair of high heels that she was obviously not used to.

Perhaps she sprained her ankle during the escape, and now she was limping and could only move forward with great effort.

Gou An didn’t know why Lu Wan didn’t leave with He Jinxing…

Instead, she was hanging out with He Ran again.

He Ran dragged her to a motorcycle that Gou An has never seen before. It must be remembered that the keys to He Ran’s H2 was confiscated by He Jinxing.

Sure enough, the next second, a second-generation ancestor next to him said something and handed the keys to Young Master He. He Ran faced the motorcycle impatiently and put on the black safety helmet handed to him by this younger brother…

Then he turned around and put Lu Wan onto the motorcycle.

Lu Wan struggled but failed to get off the motorcycle. Then, a white safety helmet was put on her head.

Gou An: “…”

Across the crowd and three floors away, the night was hazy, the moonlight was dim, and one of the street lamps was even broken… but Gou An still recognized the brand-new, white helmet now on Lu Wan’s head as the latest model she had just taken out of the store that very afternoon using her credit card. She knew it very well. After much flattery and persuasion, the shop clerk finally agreed to sell it to her for only an additional five hundred yuan.

It didn’t matter.

Gou An told herself that she was planning to return the scholarship money to Lu Wan anyway.

Then just consider this matter as settled between them.

She looked away from the couple downstairs and tilted her head to look around. Peeking out the window, she found that the water pipe large enough to support a person climbing down was against the outside walls of this room. Gou An immediately retracted her head and began to look for something inside the private box that could serve as her safety rope.

Suddenly, the noisy street outside the window and the voice of the security personnel shouting “Open the door immediately if you’re inside” faded away until they were all blocked out. At this moment, the voices grew vague, as if they were coming from another world.

She looked towards the door. All she could hear right now was the sound of her own heartbeat.

Just now, right outside the private box, there were a series of unscrupulous footsteps coming her way.

At the same time, outside the doors of Endless Night.

The chaos  and noise of the crowd made He Ran’s head spin.

The moment he learned that something happened downstairs, his first thought was of Lu Wan who had just rushed out of the private room in a panic. She was beautiful, and she had looked so easy to bully just now. She was alone at this moment, and she could easily be targetted by one of those gangsters…

Those people were really from the underworld. When they started to create havoc, they would do much more than the rich second generation sons who were satisfied with just touching the waist or the face.

The more He Ran thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he immediately arranged for someone to look for Lu Wan. Finally, Zhou Yanji called him and said that Lu Wan was found in a room on the fourth floor. She was alone, sitting there in a daze, and no one had an idea how she got up there.

He Ran didn’t think much about who brought her to the fourth floor. After all, the SVIPs who could make use of the private rooms in the fourth floor didn’t often come here to spend money. Maybe she just went up there by accident.

“Put your helmet on properly,” He Ran told Lu Wan, “hold my waist, and I’ll take you to the hospital.”

He Ran frowned, got on the motorcycle, and was about to leave this place.

As soon as he started the motorcycle, the 900-displacement engine roared to life. He had just turned the front of the motorcycle when his attention was attracted by a white Rolls-Royce making a turn at the end of the street—

Under the moonlight, amid the noise and chaos, the silver-glow of the limousine seemed like a noble and secluded steed, isolated from the world and unmolested.

Inside the helmet, He Ran raised his eyebrows: Young Uncle was also at Endless Night tonight?

He lowered his head and looked at Lu Wan’s hands clutched tightly around his waist and found that she was shaking. After a pause, he grabbed her soft wrists and pulled her hands away from his waist.

Then he got off the motorbike and looked at Lu Wan—she was sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle in a strange, awkward posture. He hesitated for only a second before reaching out and lifting Lu Wan directly off the motorcycle.

“Wanwan, you don’t know how to ride a motorcycle, and I’m afraid you’ll fall. Go back with my young uncle, okay?” He Ran’s voice came out from the motorcycle helmet, muffling it a little.

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Wan to answer him, he turned around and flagged down the white Rolls-Royce.

The driver of the car was from the He family, so he naturally recognized the silhouette of their young master. The white Rolls-Royce slowed to a stop, and the rear seat window slowly lowered.

Inside the car, a man in casual clothes had his legs crossed and was looking down at his mobile phone.

Viewed from the side, his eyebrows were stern, like a god standing on a tall mountain covered by clouds and mist. He was aloof and should not be approached by strangers.

Probably because he had to make arrangements to send an important person away amidst the chaos—which also delayed the business that needed to be discussed tonight—but at this time, He Jinxing’s expression was not happy.

Behind the slowly lowering car window, one could hear his indifferent voice instructing the driver, “Call the Chen’s house later to confirm that Mr. Chen arrived home safely.”

As the car window finally lowered in full, the man’s voice stopped. He turned his head and looked coldly at his nephew standing outside the car.

And at the young lady wearing waiter clothes standing behind him.

“Young Uncle,” He Ran bent down and looked through the gap in the car window, “Please send Wanwan off. She is not very good at riding a motorcycle. I’m afraid she will fall.”

He Jinxing paused, and his eyes fell on Lu Wan.

Lu Wan took a small step back.

The man then retracted his gaze and nodded reservedly, “Okay.”

The limousine door slowly opened.

This was accomplished well.

He Ran heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and waved to Lu Wan to get in the car. Just when he thought he had arranged everything properly, he heard He Jinxing say in a deep voice, “The people from Hui’an Road are doing business tonight. There is a lack of discipline over there, and they are doing things without bothering with rules. This chaos will not be settled for a while… Send Gou An home directly and don’t hang around here anymore.”

His voice was deep.

As soon as Lu Wan sat down in the car, she felt that the young man outside seemed to have fallen into a strange silence. She turned her head numbly and saw a rare expression in He Ran eyes under the motorcycle helmet. He looked dazed—

Lu Wan didn’t know why.

But He Jinxing knew his nephew very well.

Seeing He Ran’s reaction, he already had the reason for He Ran’s frozen state in his mind, but this time he didn’t want to trust his intuition.

Uncharacteristically, He Jinxing asked, somewhat redundantly, “What do you mean by not speaking?”

He Ran’s hand holding the car door tightened silently.

Inside the car, the man’s aura suddenly grew to the point where it was hard to breathe, and the temperature around them seemed to drop below freezing all of a sudden.

“He Ran,” He Jinxing curled his thin lips and said his words slowly and softly, “You’d better not tell me that you prioritized another woman and lost Gou Yu’s daughter.”

The smile didn’t reach his eyes.

That was a clear sign that a raging storm was coming.
