106 Shi Ran Was Almost Murdered Tonight

“What’s going on?” Wen Yu lowered his voice, his gaze still fixed on Chu Jinchen.

Mother Wen sighed. “When Feifei went home tonight, a few people suddenly rushed out of the van beside her. They wanted to kidnap Feifei! Fortunately, the bodyguards were nearby.”

“Feifei was terrified. When she got home, she hid in her room and cried. She wouldn’t stop no matter who tried to persuade her. She even had a high fever but she’s finally asleep now.”

Wen Yu suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and asked as calmly as possible, “Have you found out who did it?”

“Your uncle is already investigating but I thought that your intelligence network was more developed and wanted you to help investigate who dared to attack our Feifei!”

Hearing Mother Wen’s resentful tone, Wen Yu lowered his eyes. “I understand, Aunt.”

After hanging up, he turned to Chu Jinchen. “Is it you?”

Chu Jinchen smiled without answering.

“Why are you doing this?” Wen Yu clenched his fists at his sides, trying his best to hold back. “Fei Fei is innocent. Why are you implicating her?”

“What happened?” Qiu Yaohang was confused.

What did Jinchen do to Yufei?

“What happened last night was my uncle’s fault. Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. What’s the point of kidnapping Feifei?!” Wen Yu growled.

Kidnapping?!

Qiu Yaohang looked at Chu Jinchen in shock.

Jinchen had someone kidnap Yufei???

Damn!

‘Are you serious?’

‘What’s the situation?’

“Shouldn’t the most innocent person be Shi Ran?” Chu Jinchen slowly curled his lips and looked straight into Wen Yu’s fiery gaze.

Wen Yu was in disbelief. “Feifei is your fiancée! You kidnapped her for another woman, and now you’re saying that the most innocent person is that woman?”

He took a deep breath. “Admittedly, my uncle was in the wrong for this, but he must have just wanted to scare her into backing off.”

“From a father’s perspective, I can understand his methods. I also believe that Uncle is not the ruthless type.”

Wen Yu’s words were powerful.

Chu Jinchen looked up. “Do you think she escaped tonight because of the Wen family’s bodyguards?”

“What do you mean?” Wen Yu was stunned for a moment.

But soon, he thought of what Chu Jinchen had just said.

—An eye for an eye.

So it was because Shi Ran was saved last night that Feifei was only almost kidnapped today?

‘Then if Shi Ran was really kidnapped yesterday…’

Wen Yu trembled and suddenly looked at Chu Jinchen.

He dared not think further.

However, Chu Jinchen said slowly, “You should be glad that she’s fine. Otherwise…”

The rest of the sentence went without saying.

Wen Yu felt incredulous.

“In your eyes, is Feifei not better than Shi Ran?”

Chu Jinchen placed his hands behind his head and said lazily, “Don’t ask such a stupid question.”

Through these two people’s words, Qiu Yaohang finally understood what had happened.

He put his hand to his forehead and was about to say something to smooth things over.

“Hum—”

The phone beside him vibrated violently. Qiu Yaohang was shocked.

He picked it up and saw that it was Chu Jinchen’s phone.

He threw the phone at Chu Jinchen.

Chu Jinchen glanced at the caller ID and his eyes darkened.

He slid the answer button to his ear.

His expression became even more sinister.

He stood up and fixed his gaze on Wen Yu.

Wen Yu felt a chill run down his spine. In the blink of an eye, cold sweat broke out on his back.

After Chu Jinchen left, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“What’s wrong with Jinchen? Why is he so scary?” Qiu Yaohang rubbed his arms.

After knowing him for so many years, this was the first time he had seen such an expression on Jinchen’s face.

Wen Yu shook his head.

He didn’t know either, but that last look from Jinchen…

He frowned.

He had a vague sense of foreboding.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Qiu Yaohang patted his shoulder and asked, “Your uncle failed to kidnap Shi Ran, so Yufei was also almost kidnapped today?”

“Yeah.” Wen Yu hung his head, the shadows covering the expression on his face.

He walked to the edge of the table and picked up the beer. As if venting, he tilted his head back and downed it.

He finished the bottle and slammed it down on the table.

“Feifei has been pampered by her family since she was young and has always been safe and sound. I didn’t expect that her first kidnapping was done by Jinchen.”

“For a woman! A woman he’d known for less than a month, and he did this to Feifei!”

Wen Yu gritted his teeth, enunciating each word.

Qiu Yaohang listened quietly, his expression indifferent.

After a moment, he said, “Yu, you shouldn’t be like this.”

Wen Yu looked up at Qiu Yaohang, looking confused.

“You’ve always been rational and upright. Why can’t you see things clearly when it comes to your own family?” Qiu Yaohang walked to the sofa and sat down.

“What do you mean?”

Qiu Yaohang said tirelessly, “As far as I know, Jinchen and Shi Ran are still one-sided. Shi Ran doesn’t even like him.”

“If your uncle felt that Jinchen had let Yufei down, he should be looking for Jinchen and not find someone to kidnap Shi Ran.”

“You know Yufei will be afraid if she goes through a kidnapping. What about Shi Ran? Is it ok for her to experience the fear of getting kidnapped everyday?”

“What your uncle did last night only provoked Jinchen. Jinchen is right. The most innocent person in this matter is Shi Ran.”

Wen Yu clenched the bottle in his hand and smiled bitterly. “Yaohang, although I’m not biological siblings with Feifei, to me, she’s my sister. I can’t be rational.”

“From a brother’s point of view, I feel sorry for her.”

He lowered his head. “Feifei silently accompanied Jinchen for so many years, but in the end, Jinchen hurt her for a woman he had known for less than a month.”

“Fei Fei is his fiancée. Can’t their years of friendship be comparable to Shi Ran?”

Qiu Yaohang glanced at Wen Yu and said calmly, “Years of friendship? Wasn’t it all decided one-sidedly by you guys?”

When Wen Yu looked over, he looked away and stared at the ceiling, his emotions unclear.

“You said that Yufei has accompanied Jinchen for many years but for Jinchen, he has never wanted to be alone with her.”

“You should know that Jinchen has never agreed to this marriage from the beginning. Do you think he will listen to Old Master Chu out of pressure?”

“If you really feel sorry for your sister, you should persuade her to give up. In the past, it was already impossible for Jinchen to marry her. Now that there’s Shi Ran, don’t you think it’ll be even more impossible?”

Wen Yu fell silent.

He pursed his lips and stared at the sloshing liquid in the bottle, lost in thought.

After a long while, he said in a low voice, “I was impulsive, but…”

He paused. “I’ve always insisted that Uncle was only trying to scare her. He couldn’t have actually tried to kill her.”

The uncle in his memory was a gentleman who had always treated people with a smile. How could he do such a thing?

Qiu Yaohang tried hard to recall Wen Gongliang’s appearance.

He rubbed his chin and said, “It certainly doesn’t look like it.”

At that moment, his phone rang.

“Why are there so many calls tonight?”

He mumbled as he took out his phone.

Ji Wenfeng called.

Glancing at Wen Yu, he put him on speaker.

Ji Wenfeng’s deep voice sounded. “There’s a document that needs your signature as soon as possible.”

“What document? Your Shi Ran is trending again?” Qiu Yaohang teased.

Ji Wenfeng was silent for a moment.

“What’s wrong?” Qiu Yaohang was puzzled.

Ji Wenfeng’s tone was solemn. “Shi Ran was almost murdered tonight.”
