From Contract To All My Life: I Own You novel Chapter 2

Looking at Jimmy's profile, which was sharp as a knife, she noticed that there was obvious humor in his eyes, as if he was enjoying the show.

Before Joy could figure out how to convince him, Jimmy had already put his arm around her waist and gently pulled her toward him. There wasn't even an inch of space between the two of them.

Joy could feel the strength of his muscles, which made her heart beat faster.

Jimmy's face was so close to her that Joy thought he was going to kiss her. Her delicate hands were drenched in sweat.

"I want this!"

said Jimmy suddenly, as he loosened his grip on her. Joy staggered backward.

He deftly snatched the micro bug from her back pocket.

"Hey, give that back to me. It's mine!"

Joy was furious.

"There is nothing else I want from you except this. If you want me to save you, you'd better do as I say,"

warned Jimmy, not bothering about Joy's anger. He turned around and tossed the bug to his assistant who had just stood up.

"What's wrong, Mr. Gu? Why are you against my Taxing Gang today?"

asked the man with the gold necklace. He knew that things were not so simple now. It was one thing to retrieve the bug from a woman, but in Jimmy's hands, it might be very dangerous.

"Your Taxing Gang has done lots of bad things in A city in the past few years. The higher authorities have issued an order that whoever obtains evidence of the crime will be rewarded two million dollars in cash." Then he looked at Joy and remarked, "No wonder so many people are scrambling to get it!"

Gritting her teeth, Joy thought to herself, 'Good for you, Jimmy! You're really good at taking advantage of a situation. Now you've traded my life for it!'

However, the drug dealer didn't look worried. On the contrary, he sneered, "Mr. Gu, do you care about a mere two million?"

"No, I don't." Jimmy answered generously, "But I need this evidence of your smuggling and drug deals."

The man with the gold necklace thought that his opponent could not be easily offended. Finally, the drug lord gave up. He waved his hand and snorted, "Guys, let's go!"

Watching the thugs leave, Joy turned around and held out her hand in front of Jimmy. "Give it to me!" she demanded.

Jimmy was taken aback, "What?"

"Two million!" Joy was anxious. "You just said that the reward for the person who can get evidence of the crime was two million dollars. You've got the evidence. Now, where is the money?"

"No way! I hate women like you who are willing to do anything for money. You have some nerve!"

Jimmy turned around and walked out of the room without looking back. Joy was about to follow him when she was stopped by two bodyguards. "Miss, please behave yourself."

Joy was so annoyed that she almost cried. "That money is really important to me! Please give me back the evidence or the money."

"If you want money, come to the Gu Group!"

Came Jimmy's voice from afar.

In a cramped alley, there was an old tube-shaped building. The warm yellow lighting inside instantly put people at ease.

When Joy entered the room, Sean Mu was still awake.

He was bent over the desk in front of the window, and his freshly-cut hair was glowing in the light. At his feet lay pieces of ceramic tiles.

"Sister!" said Sean Mu happily when he spotted Joy at the door. He stood up and walked over to her.

"Did he lose his temper again?"
