    Chapter 1: Help Me, I'll Give You Everything "Catch that woman! Don't let her escape! Young Master Jun is waiting for her antidote!" In the hotel corridor, a group of uniformed security guards chased a defenseless young woman from the first floor to the eighteenth. Su Yunuo was panting heavily. These bastards had driven her to the brink; any higher and she would have to jump! "Uncle, someone's chasing me! Please help me! I'll give you all my pocket money!" Su Yunuo frantically rushed into a presidential suite, slamming the door shut and bracing her slender back against it. The man in front of her was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, talking on the phone, an unlit cigarette between his long fingers. Hearing the noise, he turned around, his deep features appearing particularly sharp in the dim light. "Pocket money?" The man's deep voice carried a dangerous glint in his eyes as his gaze swept over her disheveled hair and reddened knees. Footsteps in the corridor were approaching the door. Su Yunuo suddenly realized the kind of space she had stumbled into—the air was filled with the scent of cedar and whiskey, and a platinum lighter engraved with the character "Jun" sat on the coffee table. "Looks like my men didn't explain things clearly." He suddenly strode closer, his leather shoes slapping the carpet. "Not a chase, but an invitation." As his shadow completely enveloped her, a security guard's panicked cry echoed down the corridor: "Young Master Jun, please forgive us, we'll be right there..." Before he could finish, the man had already braced himself against the door panel beside her ear with one hand, and gripped her chin with the other: "Miss Su, now it's time to talk about your father using you to pay off his debts." He wiped the bloodstains on her lips with his thumb. "Or, let's talk about how you destroyed my three-hundred-million-dollar antidote?"
