Before the Director and Ming Ze could react, Jiang Chen had already stood up from behind them. He quickly walked over, grabbed Su Zhi'en, attempting to leave, and slammed her against the door.
At that moment, Su Zhi'en felt as though Jiang Chen had broken her back. Medicine wasn't the only thing she should've studied for the past five years. She should have learned basic martial arts as well. If so, she could have beat the b*stard to his death right now.
As for the Director and the assistant, they chose to keep their mouths shut. They were utterly dumbfounded.
"Su Zhi'en, do you want to play? Fine, I'll play along." Jiang Chen was undoubtedly enraged. He wasn't aware of the twisted expression on his face. Jiang Chen resembled a wild beast, prepared to tear its prey apart at any given moment— his prey being Su Zhi'en.
Ripping off her face mask, Jiang Chen saw Su Zhi'en's true face appear in front of him. Jiang Chen let go of her hand and proceeded to strangle her neck. Su Zhi'en's entire face raised as she began to breathe heavily. Jiang Chen took a good look at Su Zhi'en. She seemed to have a completely different demeanor.
'As expected of someone who had died five years ago, she still looks as dumb as ever.'
Even as death was approaching, Su Zhi'en's face remained indifferent. It looked as though she was not the one who was about to be strangled to death. She looked at Jiang Chen as though she had no ties with him, and like he was a stranger, cold and even disdainful. Seeing her react this way, the furious Jiang Chen was utterly stunned.
'She shouldn't be reacting this way.'
"If you're going to strangle me to death… then so be it… I advise you to get this over with quickly… I have already died once… D-Do you think I'm afraid of dying a second time? Let me tell you. If you don't kill me today, sooner or later, I will be the one killing you!"
Jiang Chen felt that this woman was purposefully infuriating him to death. She was constantly challenging him. In an instant, Jiang Chen's grip became even tighter. He couldn't control his rage and anger.
"Director Jiang! Please let go. If you continue to strangle her, the doctor will die!" Seeing this, Ming Ze had no choice but to stop him. Jiang Chen had undoubtedly lost his mind. Ming Ze felt as though he had used all of his strength to get Jiang Chen to release Su Zhi'en.
Su Zhi'en survived and was rescued by the assistant. She sat down on the ground, clutching her neck as she coughed and tried to catch her breath.
'This b*stard's temper has gotten worse. What an animal!'
It took a while before Su Zhi'en was able to calm down.
"I can't strangle you to death just yet. It would seem that you didn't die five years ago. What about the two children? They didn't die either, right? Where did you take them? What right do you have to raise my children secretly?
"Don't even think about walking out of here alive." Jiang Chen tried his best to suppress his anger. He asked calmly, but every word he spoke was as cold as ice. The murderous rage in his heart did not dissipate at all.
When Jiang Chen thought about how he had been the cause of three lives back then, he blamed himself and regretted it. Later on, he treated his only surviving son very well. Jiang Chen tried his best to make things right with his son. He also didn't tell anyone about his marriage to the other woman.
Now that he thought about it, Jiang Chen felt like a complete fool. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and his blood pressure was rising. Jiang Chen had never suffered such a setback. It was all very amusing.
Su Zhi'en, who was currently sitting on the ground, looked up and sneered at Jiang Chen, "I'm not dead just as you thought I was. I am so sorry for disappointing you!"
Su Zhi'en looked at Jiang Chen coldly. "Jiang Chen, I am not indebted to you. It was okay that I was married to you, but you impregnated me and left me with those three children in my womb. Was I the one who forced you to do that?
"You could have chosen not to marry me and refuse to show up at the wedding! It's all because you didn't have the guts to fight against your family. You're using your incompetence to shift the blame onto me.
"That's all you can do. Do you think you're innocent? Why are you taking your hatred out on me? I wasn't the cause of this! Is marriage between families something that I alone can decide? You're not entirely innocent.
"Your thirst for love and freedom on that day almost caused me and my children to die on the operating table. I have never pretended to be entirely innocent, so why don't I deserve to live?"
"You..." At this moment, Jiang Chen was so shocked that he couldn't utter a single word in retaliation.
But even so, the sarcasm on Su Zhi'en's face became even more apparent. "What a pathetic animal you are! I faked my death just to fulfill your thirst for love and freedom. You brought Tong Jingxian to the Jiang family home and said you were in love with her.
"So I decided to surrender and give up my position in the family to her. You ended up becoming a widower, and the Jiang family couldn't do anything about it. Isn't that right? You should be thanking me instead."
Jiang Chen looked at the woman in front of him, and for a moment, he didn't seem to recognize her.
'When did she become so sharp-tongued? Every word she said was as sharp as a knife— stabbing me in the heart.'
The current Su Zhi'en didn't seem to be as submissive as she used to be. In the past, Su Zhi'en didn't even dare to raise her head when she saw Jiang Chen, let alone talk to him. At this moment, everyone could see how livid Jiang Chen was.
"This is priceless. You still feel like you're the victim in this situation, huh? Men, take her back to the hotel!" Jiang Chen held his anger in for a long time before saying this.
Su Zhi'en's expression changed when she heard this. "What right do you have?! I'm a citizen of Country R. This is a violation of diplomatic law!" Jiang Chen sneered and retorted, "I'll tell you what rights I have. It's because I'm here. I am the law!"
"You're the law? I think you're an idiot that is blind to the law! Who do you think you are! It was you who wanted me dead back then, and now you won't let me go. It's the twenty-first century. Do you think you can still have three wives and four concubines? Let go of me, you arrogant man! Where are you taking me?!"
