Chapter 398: Chapter 398: First Night

“Backing out isn’t an option!” Xiao Han shook his head, then said, “Our car got hit by you guys and crashed into a tree, look…”

“Here… take it!” The man with the big gold chain hurriedly handed the keys to Xiao Han, excitedly saying, “Hero, you drive my car. We… we’ll take a cab.”

Xiao Han took the keys and then handed them to Jiang Xiaoqing. Jiang Xiaoqing hesitated, not because she couldn’t drive a BMW, but because the car belonged to the man with the big gold chain, and she dared not touch it. However, her hesitation was brief. With Xiao Han by her side, she felt secure. Therefore, Jiang Xiaoqing immediately took the keys, then got into the driver’s seat and started the car.

Xiao Han also got into the car, sitting in the passenger seat, his expression indifferent, gazing straight ahead.

The BMW slowly drove away.

“Hero, take care, have a safe journey!” the big gold chain man urgently waved his hand.

...

Watching his car being driven away, the big gold chain man felt as if his heart was being carved out, but outwardly he acted as if nothing was wrong. As soon as the BMW left, the smile crowding his face immediately dispersed, replaced by an endless sadness.

“Brother, are we just going to let that woman go?”

“Brother, what are we going to do?”

“Brother, we finally caught that woman, are we… are we just going to go back and report to the boss like this?!”

The few henchmen seemed extremely unhappy. “You bunch of idiots, you… you are simply going to be the death of me!” the big gold chain man cursed.

“Brother, what’s wrong?” they all asked in unison.

“Shut up!” The big gold chain man, furious and embarrassed, said, “Go back and find the boss. It’s not our fault. That kid is too tough. We couldn’t do anything!”

“Right, right, right!” They all nodded in agreement, unanimously shifting the blame onto Xiao Han. After all, there were no major issues on their own part. They could only blame it on Jiang Xiaoqing having a formidable figure by her side, whom they simply couldn’t handle.

Afterwards, they quickly flagged down a car and swiftly left the scene. As for the accident scene, when the traffic police arrived, they would definitely check the license plate of the car, which belonged to the TV station. They would contact the people from the TV station to handle it. Jiang Xiaoqing naturally didn’t need to worry about it anymore.

After the car had left, Jiang Xiaoqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A silence lingered inside the car, making it extremely awkward. The usually agitated and quite rude Jiang Xiaoqing had now become very docile and obedient. With her face flushed and head bowed, she drove feeling extremely embarrassed in front of Xiao Han.

Jiang Xiaoqing’s face was red with embarrassment, especially because Xiao Han wasn’t speaking. This silent silence was like a strike on Jiang Xiaoqing’s conscience.

Xiao Han seemed unconcerned, sitting in the passenger seat, eyes staring straight ahead, completely unaffected by the external environment. Or perhaps, he simply didn’t care that Jiang Xiaoqing kept staring at him; his eyes were fixed out of the window, watching trees on both sides of the road rushing backward.

“Xiao Han!” Finally, Jiang Xiaoqing could not hold it in any longer as the silence was driving her insane, so she had to speak. She had a belly full of words to say to Xiao Han. If she didn’t speak up, she felt she would collapse.

“Hmm?” Xiao Han glanced at her indifferently.

“Won’t you ask me why I borrowed money?” Jiang Xiaoqing asked awkwardly.

“I don’t need to know,” Xiao Han shook his head, saying, “That’s your business. The only reason I helped you is that I couldn’t just watch a girl being abducted right in front of me. That’s all, nothing more.”

In Xiao Han’s view, Jiang Xiaoqing had no connection to him, so he didn’t care about her thoughts or well-being. He only cared about his own conscience. Although Xiao Han’s mind had achieved extraordinary development, he remained a person with an intact conscience. Hence, he had to be true to his conscience. Not saving someone in need wasn’t his style.

Jiang Xiaoqing snorted coldly, then said, “Are you always this cold-hearted?”

“If I were cold-hearted, I wouldn’t have intervened to rescue you!” Xiao Han looked at her and said, “Jiang Xiaoqing, don’t think that just because you are somewhat attractive, you can do whatever you want and everyone will indulge you. I won’t!”

“Actually…” Jiang Xiaoqing bit her lips and said, “The reason I borrowed so much money was all because of my good-for-nothing brother.”

“Oh?” Xiao Han was taken aback, as he had assumed that Jiang Xiaoqing was a gambler, which was why she borrowed money for gambling. He hadn’t thought about it more deeply. He chuckled, then said, “What does it have to do with you that your brother borrowed the money? I am quite curious!”

“Yes!” Jiang Xiaoqing nodded, her eyes brimming with tears as she said, “My brother used to be a very capable man. He started a company with his best friend. But later, he was deceived by this very friend. Not only did the company collapse, but it also left him in heavy debt. My parents sold the house and car to pay off his debts, but he, unfortunately, got addicted to gambling. He even lied to me, saying he wanted to start over, and asked me to borrow money for him.”

Later, Jiang Xiaoqing found herself at a dead end and couldn’t bear to see her own brother downtrodden. She had no choice but to turn to high-interest loans and borrowed five hundred thousand yuan with an agreement of thirty thousand yuan interest for three months. After three months, Jiang Xiaoqing originally planned to repay the thirty thousand yuan interest. However, they then claimed the interest had increased to one hundred thousand yuan. Jiang Xiaoqing couldn’t come up with so much money at once, so she had to hide everywhere. Unexpectedly, another three months later, they actually came to her door demanding repayment, and what was most terrifying was that the principal and interest had soared to over one million three hundred thousand yuan. Jiang Xiaoqing had completely lost her ability to repay, and could only hide like a mouse.

“Where is your brother?” Xiao Han asked. “You should make him pay back the money he spent!”

“I wish!” Jiang Xiaoqing said with red eyes, “My brother lost the half million in one night and absolutely couldn’t repay it. Since I borrowed the money, they have been watching me daily, causing disturbances at the TV station. It’s incredibly painful for me!”

“Heh!” Xiao Han just scoffed and did not continue talking.

“I really owe you this time,” Jiang Xiaoqing said with misty eyes, her hand covering her red lips. “If not for you, they might have taken me away. Once I had been taken by them, I might as well have been dead.”

“I can save you once, but I can’t save you for a lifetime,” Xiao Han sighed and said, “These people are vicious and definitely have connections. So, you better be careful. They didn’t catch you this time, but they will undoubtedly try again. You must be careful!”

“I want to repay the money,” Jiang Xiaoqing suddenly choked up, her crying growing louder. “I can’t continue living like this. If it goes on like this, life is not worth living. I would rather die!”

Xiao Han turned to look at Jiang Xiaoqing, her face tear-stained, pitiful. Just moments ago she was quite fierce; he hadn’t expected her to become so sympathetic so suddenly. Being a man, Xiao Han naturally had a protective instinct. Seeing Jiang Xiaoqing in such pain and distress, a sense of compassion stirred within him.

“What do you plan to do?” Xiao Han asked.

“I don’t know!” Jiang Xiaoqing shook her head and said, “At the TV station, I earn eight thousand a month, which is quite high. But this income is not enough to cover their monthly interest. If it keeps increasing like this, I’m afraid I can only opt for death.”

“Sigh…” Xiao Han sighed and said, “If someone is willing to help you clear the debt, but you have to exchange your most important possession. Would you?”

“What possession?” Jiang Xiaoqing asked anxiously.

“Your virginity!” Xiao Han replied lightly.

“What!” Jiang Xiaoqing was shocked, perhaps because the term was too terrifying, so she didn’t grasp it immediately. For a proud woman like Jiang Xiaoqing, being bought for her virginity with money was utterly shameful and humiliating, something she had never considered.

“I mean, if someone offers you one million three hundred and fifty thousand yuan for your virginity, would you accept?” Xiao Han asked.

“You’re crazy!” Jiang Xiaoqing stared at Xiao Han open-mouthed.

Gach…

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoqing swerved the car onto the opposite lane. Xiao Han, quick to react, pulled the steering wheel back sharply. The car swung in a drastic ‘S’ shape on the road. Other cars dodged frantically, narrowly avoiding a pile-up. The chaos made the other drivers veer off.

“Could you please drive carefully?” Xiao Han glared at her sharply, then said, “If you don’t pay attention, we could end up dying on this road.”

“Yes, yes!” Jiang Xiaoqing quickly nodded.

Jiang Xiaoqing steadied her mind and spirit, focusing intently on driving. Yet, her heart was undergoing turmoil, a stormy clash of waves. If it weren’t for the debt, perhaps she would have slapped Xiao Han. But now, she had to seriously consider it. Desperation forced her to think about things she wouldn’t otherwise consider. If trading her virginity could stabilize her life, if it could free her from those high-interest loans and constant harassment, perhaps it was the only way out. After all, although virginity is valuable, isn’t life even more so?

If she refused to trade her virginity and they caught her again, she would inevitably be brutally abused by several men, then forced to work at a club. Eventually, she would become a woman available to anyone, by then a woman worth nothing.

But if she sold her virginity, then how was she different from those prostitutes?

Thinking this, Jiang Xiaoqing’s heart was in anguish. On one hand, debt collectors relentlessly pursued her, almost costing her her life. On the other hand, it involved her reputation, her virtue. She almost had no choice. Despite her reluctance, Jiang Xiaoqing had to consider her life, her future. Some things are indeed beyond our control, utterly inevitable.
