Su Jinshan brought Jiang Ruoyin to the hospital for a checkup, which proved that she did not suffer any major injuries apart from some bruises and abrasions.

Su Jinshan stayed by Jiang Ruoyin’s side throughout and spoke to her continuously, finally placating Jiang Ruoyin’s emotions after a long buffer time.

Su Jinshan handed her a glass of warm milk and said, “Ruoyin, have some milk. You’ll feel better after you get some sleep.”

“Mother, will you sleep together with me tonight?” Jiang Ruoyin asked while grabbing the glass of milk. It seemed as if the warmness of the milk penetrated through her skin instantly. “I’m scared. I’ll recall the scene of that bunch of people taking me to the black house the moment it’s quiet around me.”

A melancholic expression formed on Jiang Ruoyin’s face, and she shivered uncontrollably while speaking. Fear and terror consumed her.

Su Jinshan pulled her into her embrace and held her hand. “Ruoyin, it’s alright. I’m right here. I’ll accompany you to sleep tonight. It’s been a long time since we slept next to each other.”

Quivering uncontrollably from head to toe, Jiang Ruoyin said, “Mother, you have no idea how terrifying those people are. They wanted to extort our family and ask for a ransom of 10 million yuan before gangraping me and killing me. They had even bought the tickets to move my corpse across the borders illegally to M Nation. I was really scared…”

Su Jinshan felt extremely thankful for Gu Yuehan’s help. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to save Jiang Ruoyin even after handing over the ransom. Grabbing her daughter’s hand tightly, Su Jinshan exclaimed, “It’s alright, it’s alright now! Those people can’t hurt you anymore.”

Jiang Ruoyin was overwhelmed with agony and misery. Feeling extremely aggrieved, she bawled loudly and lamented in between sobs. “Mother, I’m really terrified. I thought I wouldn’t get to see you guys again forever. I kept crying and begging for them to let me off. However, they ignored me and refused to budge. They even hollered at me and told me to shut up and stop being annoying. I was so petrified that I didn’t dare to speak.”

Su Jinshan was grief-stricken. Yet, she did not know how she should comfort her daughter.

Jiang Ruoyin hugged Su Jinshan tightly and continued, “I stayed in the black room alone and never got to see the light of day. I had no idea how much time had passed, either. I didn’t dare to sleep, and all I did was count my fingers repeatedly, all the way until ten thousand. Yet, no one was there to save me at all. I thought you didn’t want me anymore, Mother…”

Su Jinshan patted the back of her hand and said, “Don’t spout nonsense. You’re my flesh and blood, you mean the world to me. Why would I abandon you?”

Jiang Ruoyin burst into tears again. “Mother…”

Su Jinshan was incredibly miserable. She barked indignantly. “How could those ruthless thugs be so immoral and inhumane as to kidnap an underage girl? Ruoyin, don’t worry. I’ll definitely seek revenge for you. I won’t let those people off.”

Jiang Ruoyin asked agitatedly, “Really?”

Su Jinshan wiped the tears off her face and explained, “The police called just now to inform me that those thugs have been arrested and are now detained in the police station. I must make sure that they’re jailed for the rest of their lives.”

Jiang Ruoyin wiped the rest of her tears away and said resolutely with a menacing gaze, “I’m going to make sure they kneel before me and apologize.”

Su Jinshan gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely fulfill your wishes.”

Jiang Ruoyin finally got a grip on her emotions.

Noticing that she had stopped talking, Su Jinshan asked, “Ruoyin, I know you hired someone to abduct Wen Xinya in the past, so what happened in the end? Did Wen Xinya do something terrible to you? Tell me the truth. I’ll stand up for you.”

Jiang Ruoyin shivered at the thought of Wen Xinya luring her to the basement of a bar where a man stripped her down to nothing and snapped photos of her naked body. She could not help but feel terribly ashamed.

Su Jinshan suddenly turned pale again, for she knew that Jiang Ruoyin had really been harmed by Wen Xinya. She said in a tender voice, “Ruoyin, the Jiang family and the Wen Family have completely fallen out with each other. Should you get into another conflict with her again in the future, you must tell me about it, lest you bring more trouble for yourself. I’ll handle everything for you and won’t let you lose out.”

Upon hearing her words, Jiang Ruoyin teared up again. Choking with sobs, Jiang Ruoyin explained everything that happened to her that night. “Wen Xinya resorted to despicable means and snapped photos of me when I was naked. She even threatened me and warned me not to provoke her again. If I or the Jiang family incur her wrath, she’d publish those photos of me onto the internet.”

Su Jinshan almost blacked out and fainted. She felt as if a million daggers had pierced through her heart. Seething with exasperation, she gritted her teeth angrily and said, “Wen Xinya is such a huge bully. She’s really gone overboard.”

“Mother, what do we do now?” Jiang Ruoyin asked with tears flowing out of her eyes like a broken faucet.

Su Jinshan felt as if lightning had struck her heart, causing her to be overwhelmed with unbearable pain. “Why didn’t you tell me about something so serious?”

Jiang Ruoyin sobbed and said, “I was afraid that you’d confront Wen Xinya and she might just upload my photos onto the internet…”

Filled with resentment towards Wen Xinya, Su Jinshan said, “It’s all my fault. I know you hired someone to abduct Wen Xinya because you wanted her to have a taste of her own medicine. That’s why I didn’t stop you. Yet… that shameless wretch Wen Xinya turned out to be so hard to deal with. You even ended up losing out.”

Jiang Ruoyin continued to weep miserably.

Su Jinshan grimaced at the thought of Wen Xinya making her apologize in front of everyone else at the police station. Seething with anger, she said, “That little bitch Wen Xinya is already so ruthless at such a young age. She’s going to be terrible when she’s older. Ruoyin, don’t worry. I won’t let Wen Xinya off easily. I’ll definitely make her pay the price for what she has done to you.”

Shaking her head profusely in fear, Jiang Ruoyin said, “Mother… please don’t. If Wen Xinya uploads those photos of me onto the internet, how am I supposed to continue living from now on!?!”

Su Jinshan caressed her head with resentment in her eyes. “Rest assured and leave this to me. I won’t give her the chance to hurt my daughter again.”

Jiang Ruoyin asked apprehensively, “Mother, do you really have the confidence to deal with her?”

Su Jinshan asked with a sullen expression, “What’s wrong? Don’t you believe me?”

Jiang Ruoyin shook her head.

Su Jinshan patted her on the back and said, “Don’t worry, I’m here for you no matter what happens. I won’t let you be treated unfairly.”
