Lin Jiage finally recognized who the woman in front of him was—Qin Yiran.

And as for those beside her, while he was unable to name them, he did have some impression of them. They were the people who had blocked s.h.i.+ Yao’s path at the entrance of G University a few days back, and the strikingly tanned, brawny man was amongst the group as well.

Other than them, there were also a few more people who clearly didn’t look like students. A brutish air hung around them—they seemed to be those from the underworld.

s.h.i.+ Yao was tightly surrounded in the middle of them. Upon catching sight of Lin Jiage, she immediately exclaimed, “Lin Jiage, hurry up and get away—”

Her voice was still as soft and gentle as ever, but before she could finish her sentence, her mouth was already m.u.f.fled by the long-haired man standing behind her.

A hostile frown immediately darkened Lin Jiage’s calm face. Without any hesitation, he stepped forward, intending to pull s.h.i.+ Yao back from the hands of those thugs.

But before he could reach her, the tanned and brawny man had already blocked his path.

However, the one who spoke up was Qin Yiran who was standing nearby with her arms crossed, “Lin Jiage, don’t waste your strength. There are too many of us here, so you won’t be able to take her away by yourself.”

As Qin Yiran spoke, she walked forward and took her place beside the tanned and brawny man.

Upon Qin Yiran’s approach, the tanned and brawny man also casually placed his arm on her shoulder.

A hint of disgust flashed across the depths of Qin Yiran’s eyes, but she didn’t shake off his arm. She stared intently at Lin Jiage as she added coldly, “There’s no way I’ll let you take her away either.

“But you don’t have to worry, I don’t plan on doing anything to her yet. However, if you were to…” Qin Yiran tilted her head up and proudly a.s.sessed Lin Jiage from head to toe before continuing, “… displease me, I can’t guarantee what will happen to her.”

Lin Jiage, who had been quiet from the start, finally spoke up. Even though his words were directed at Qin Yiran, his gaze remained firmly fixated on s.h.i.+ Yao, “I’m the one who provoked you. It has nothing to do with her at all. Let her go.”

His words made Qin Yiran chuckle softly, as if she had heard the most hilarious thing in the world. She took out a cigarette and tilted it outward as one of the men lit it for her. She then continued, “Lin Jiage, do you take me for a fool? If I let her go, what would I use to threaten you? Besides, with so many of us here, there’s nothing to fear from either of you. And if we do let her go, what if she goes and calls the cops on us?”

After saying those words, Qin Yiran placed the cigarette into her mouth and took a deep puff before exhaling a long stream of smoke.

Lin Jiage creased his forehead in deep disgust at the smell of the cigarette.

Taking in Lin Jiage’s response, Qin Yiran chuckled softly. With a harsher tone from before, she scoffed, “Disgusted? But you were the one who made me like this.”

“Let me tell you, Lin Jiage. I’ve spent too much time and effort following you around to prepare for this, so I’m not interested in wasting any more time with you. However, this isn’t the place to settle things. Follow me if you want to, but let me warn you first, she’s still in my hands.”

After saying those words, Qin Yiran glanced at the tanned and brawny man beside her.

Receiving her hint, the tanned and brawny man shot a look at the surrounding men before walking out of the restaurant with his hand around Qin Yiran’s waist.

s.h.i.+ Yao’s mouth was still being m.u.f.fled, preventing her from speaking. However, while she was being dragged out by the group of men, her pair of bright, black eyes remained firmly fixated on Lin Jiage.

She shook her head slightly, indicating for him not to follow along. But even so, Lin Jiage could still see the panic and fear in the depths of her eyes.
