The outside is guarded by Ximen Longting's bodyguards. Once Jing Jiaren leaves this door, someone will always report to Ximen Longting.

So if the handcuffs are opened, the key must be in this room.

Jing Jiaren nodded: "The key was hidden in the fireplace by Leng Lintian."

"..."

"Are you interested, let me show you around?"

Ximen Long Ting said with a cold face: "If you had a way to get him to hand over the key, why not use it?"

"My method..." Jing Jiaren bit her lower lip.

"You have no choice at all, but you know where the key is from the beginning to the end!"

"Ximen Longting, do you doubt me?" Jing Jiaren couldn't believe it.

"You've been defending him everywhere these days, and I'm the outsider!" Ximen Longting stabbed his chest with his finger, "Your performance makes me suspicious!"

"We have been together for so long, but you don't understand how I feel. Why do you always doubt me?"

"I don't understand!" Ximen Longting shouted tiredly, "I have never understood it!"

"..."

"Tell me, what method did you use to convince him in a short time to tell you where the key is hidden?"

Jing Jiaren opened and closed her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Can't tell?"

"You will be angry if you tell me..."

"If you don't talk about me, he'll be even more angry!" Ximen Longting said angrily, "Jing Jiaren, put yourself in my shoes and think about it for me!"

From Ximen Longting's perspective, he would indeed feel uncomfortable...

If it was Ximen Longting and Ji Zihan who were handcuffed now, in order to save Ji Zihan, he would not let Jing Jiaren hurt her, even kissing Jing Jiaren when she turned around to leave...

Even if it was Ximen Longting who Ji Zihan forcibly kissed, Jing Jiaren would be angry!

You are angry because you care, you care because you love!

Jing Jiaren held his hand and said softly: "Ximen Longting..."

"explain."

"..."

"I want you to tell me everything and don't hide anything." He gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me!"

Otherwise he will be driven crazy by the fear of insecurity.

Jing Jiaren sighed: "I told you, I'm afraid you will be even more angry."

Ximen Longting's tall figure froze: "Have you negotiated terms?"

condition?

"You give yourself to him in exchange for the key?" Ximen Longting's voice was hoarse, and his red eyes looked directly into hers.

Jing Jiaren was speechless: "No, you are overthinking! He forced that kiss... If I had known earlier, I would have avoided it, let alone let him... touch me!"

Ximen Longting just stared at her deeply.

"Really, I belong to you alone..." Jing Jiaren's hand caressed his cheek, "No other man will own me."

Ximen Longting's face looked much better, and he covered her hand with his big palm and moved it to his lips.

His hot lips kissed her palm, she was his!

"What is the solution?"

"You promise not to be angry? Listen to what I have to say before expressing your opinion?"

"Um."

Jing Jiaren told the whole story about what happened. Ximen Longting did not interrupt her, but just kept looking at her arm with a serious look.

Her cut was very shallow and she only wore a band-aid...

"Ximen Longting, do you understand now why I didn't tell you? This method is a bit dangerous, and I don't want to use it unless it is a last resort." Jing Jiaren looked at him tentatively, and he looked quite calm.
