407: 406 407: 406 “You’ve worked hard,” moved Han Xue’er to tears, filling her heart with immense warmth.
Although she knew Ye Haochuan was just trying to cheer her up, she was still deeply touched.
Being a nurse by profession, she had never done any other job.
This time, Xiao Haimei had put her in charge of the Ye Family Medicinal Cuisine Shop, a significant responsibility.
However, she couldn’t escape the endless gossip and rumors from everyone at the affiliated hospital.
Especially since many people believed she was not capable of handling this role, mocking and slandering her, thinking she relied on Ye Haochuan’s influence.
It’s easy to imagine how heartbroken and upset she felt upon hearing these comments.
If it weren’t for wanting to prove herself for Brother Ye, she would have quit long ago.
With just that, Han Xue’er couldn’t continue, her tears falling continuously.
Despite having so much to say, she found herself unable to utter another word.
Having not seen her for just one day, although she still looked delicate and pretty, her face had become much more haggard.
Seeing her on the verge of tears, Ye Haochuan quickly grabbed her hand and asked, “Xue’er, what’s wrong?
Did someone upset you?
Tell Brother Ye, I’ll stand up for you; who dared to bother you?”
With a snort, Han Xue’er laughed, this Brother Ye, always knew how to make someone happy, a few words and all the worries just vanished.
Seeing her laugh happily, Ye Haochuan felt immensely proud of himself, thinking, “I was born to survive on my wit, and my verbal skills are just getting finer.”
“Brother Ye, you are really too bad,” Han Xue’er said flirtatiously with a sideways glance.
“Haha!” Ye Haochuan laughed loudly and pulled her into his embrace, “So what if I’m bad?
Brother Ye has even worse tricks up his sleeve…”
As early autumn set in and it began to rain in the afternoon, Han Xue’er had thoughtfully put on a pink ultra-thin stretch sweater that perfectly outlined her curvaceous upper body, stirring irresistible desire in Ye Haochuan.
Without further ado, he made his move…
Ye Haochuan was as tired as an ox, panting heavily, while Han Xue’er lay satisfied, curling up cutely on his chest like a little kitten.
In fact, after a busy day, Han Xue’er was already exhausted.
However, after such nourishment from him, she seemed to regain a vibrant youthfulness.
In that moment, Han Xue’er felt an indescribable sensation overflowing in her heart.
She clung tightly to Brother Ye, with tears of happiness falling on both their cheeks.
Seeing her tears, Ye Haochuan gently wiped them away, gazing at her tenderly and softly said, “Xue’er, don’t cry, you are my treasure, my good treasure, my little treasure, my dear treasure…”
If it were anyone else hearing such cheesy words, they would have probably cringed, but Han Xue’er found it both embarrassing and sweet, her heart pounding intensely.
She thought to herself, “How can Brother Ye say such things, it’s embarrassingly sweet, yet I love hearing him call me his treasure.”
The two exchanged sweet nothings, feeling sleepy, when suddenly, Ye Haochuan’s cellphone rang.
It was from Lackey Shanpao.
Picking up, he heard Shanpao’s anxious voice, “Brother Ye, something terrible happened, Bao Guozhong fled and he’s taken the Zhao sisters hostage…”
“What?” Ye Haochuan immediately woke up, sitting upright, “What exactly happened?”
“It was our oversight, we were watching Bao Guozhong closely.
This afternoon, we even completed some real estate transactions and extracted a lot of cash.
Our men became a bit lax in their guard, and to our amazement, that scoundrel had sent out a message and got someone to rescue him.”
“How were the Zhao sisters kidnapped again?” Ye Haochuan asked urgently.
“It happened , after Bao Guozhong escaped, he immediately kidnapped the Zhao sisters and then called me, asking me to tell you to come for the ransom,” Shanpao said.
Damn, the same old trick.
Ye Haochuan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat regretful.
He had agreed last night to visit Zhao Ruqian to treat her, but his desire for a moment’s pleasure had prevented him from going in time.
Otherwise, how could Bao Guozhong, that scum, have had the chance?
However, he was sure, with the previous experience as a lesson, that the guy would be very cautious.
Rescuing Zhao Bingqian and the Zhao sisters wouldn’t be easy.
After getting the address for the ransom meeting from Shanpao, Ye Haochuan told Shanpao, “Alright, I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Haochuan hurriedly got dressed and then got out of bed.
“Brother Ye, where are you going?” Han Xue’er asked with a hint of reluctance.
Not wanting her to worry, Ye Haochuan vaguely passed it off, saying he had things to handle.
Han Xue’er obediently didn’t ask further, but from her expression, it was clear she was worried about his safety.
Seeing her concern, Ye Haochuan gently kissed her on the forehead and said, “Don’t worry, Brother Ye will be back soon.”
At that time, his mother, Tong Xiangxiu, was already resting.
To avoid worrying her, Ye Haochuan didn’t leave through the main door but instead jumped directly from the balcony and disappeared into the night…
An hour later, Ye Haochuan drove his QQ car to a remote countryside area.
This area was near Heiya Mountain, and at this time, the mountain was shrouded in darkness, nothing visible; however, at the foot of the mountain near a small town, it was bright with lights.
According to the information from Shanpao, the Zhao sisters were being held in a small temple at the top of the mountain.
Originally, he wanted to quietly climb the mountain and rescue the Zhao sisters, but just as he got out of the car, he received a phone call.
The call was from Bao Guozhong.
“Ye Haochuan, you’ve finally arrived.”
Hearing Bao Guozhong’s sinister words on the phone, Ye Haochuan’s mind sharpened.
He hadn’t even seen Bao Guozhong yet, but he had already been spotted, indicating that there were spies around set by him.
Thinking this, he quickly looked around but didn’t notice anything unusual.
“Yes, I’m here, Bao Guozhong.
If you’re sensible, you better release the Zhao sisters quickly.
‘Married for a day, bonded for a hundred,’ how can you treat your ex-wife and former aunt ?
Are you still human?” Ye Haochuan said sternly.
“Hmph, Ye Haochuan, cut the crap.
If I hadn’t taken this drastic measure, would you have obediently come to treat me?” Bao Guozhong snorted indignantly, “Listen well, when you cure my AIDS, that’s when I’ll release them.”
Ye Haochuan grunted, “Are you threatening me?”
