Fifteen minutes later.
After hearing Ye Huan’s plan, Li Ying’s face showed some hesitation, her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly, "I... can I really do it?"
Ye Huan smiled and said, "You previously impersonated Zhong Qianqian, and even I didn’t notice. You can definitely do it, believe in yourself."
"Then... okay." Li Ying’s eyebrows relaxed, "Don’t forget our agreement, when you destroy the Zhong Family, you need to rescue my child."
"Of course, I’ll not only rescue your child but also save all the women and children abducted by the Zhong Family."
As he said this, Ye Huan’s eyes turned cold, cold at the sins committed by the Zhong Family.
Even with the air conditioning running in the car, making it seem somewhat hot, Li Ying in the passenger seat couldn’t help but feel a chill.
A phone ringtone broke the eerie silence.
"It’s Zhong Qianqian’s phone, you answer it." Ye Huan pulled out Zhong Qianqian’s phone and handed it to Li Ying.
The call was connected.
It must be said, Li Ying’s voice was almost identical to Zhong Qianqian’s, her demeanor nearly indistinguishable as well, no wonder Zhong Qianqian chose her to be her stand-in.
"Qianqian, didn’t damage that beautiful face, did you? Thirty million is no small sum, don’t make me take a loss." Shen Xu’s voice was still breathless and weak as always.
Li Ying covered the phone’s microphone and mouthed to Ye Huan, asking how to respond.
Ye Huan slightly furrowed his brows, but after a moment of thought, he understood what it meant.
Just now Zhong Qianqian received a call from Raven and went to No. 1 Shunxi Mountain road to deal with herself and Liu Tianyun.
Even if Huan Ge was worth thirty million, it would be thirty million worth of handsome!
A beauty worth thirty million, who else could it be but Liu Tianyun?
Zhong Qianqian had clearly struck a deal with Shen Xu, intending to sell Liu Tianyun to him for thirty million.
Ye Huan pulled out his phone and typed a line of text on it.
"Mr. Shen, there was a problem with the plan. Liu Tianyun and Ye Huan have both escaped, and the people I hired were eliminated by unknown individuals. Although I didn’t capture Liu Tianyun, I’ve captured another woman, whose appearance isn’t much worse. I wonder if you’d be interested in a woman who looks and has the same figure as me?"
Li Ying read out the words Ye Huan had typed on the phone screen in a flat tone.
Over the phone, Shen Xu was quite displeased.
He didn’t think Zhong Qianqian could be worth thirty million, but since the money was already transferred, he couldn’t ask for it back without appearing petty.
"Alright, send her to the presidential suite at Mingzhu Hotel."
With that, the call was disconnected.
Li Ying glanced at Ye Huan, asking for his opinion.
"This woman has ruined countless families, harmed and trafficked many women and children. Her downfall is deserved, payback for her deeds."
Ye Huan initially didn’t want to be this ruthless, he intended to give Zhong Qianqian a swift end.
But Zhong Qianqian’s nature was too vicious and cruel.
Moreover, women were Ye Huan’s reverse scale.
Even though his marriage with Liu Tianyun was contractual, and Huan Ge didn’t like Liu Tianyun either, hearing about Zhong Qianqian’s plan to sell her overseas still made Huan Ge’s face turn cold.
As they say, payback in kind. She dug her own grave, let her lie in it!
"Take her." With that, Ye Huan got out of the car, searching for a taxi in the rain.
In the Lamborghini Aventador.
Li Ying looked at Zhong Qianqian in the back seat, her expression complicated.
Being sold overseas, she’d probably suffer greatly, it’s said that those women and children who are sold have lives filled with darkness and despair, living in fear and hopelessness forever.
For a moment, she felt a pang of sympathy...
Yet the next second, her face turned icy cold.
The tragic scene of her mother’s death endlessly lingered in her mind.
A woman so vicious and ruthless caused countless families to be destroyed, innumerable people to live their lives in fear and hopelessness.
For such a woman, why feel any sympathy!?
This time, let her live a life in fear and hopelessness!
Li Ying’s face twisted as she moved to the driver’s seat and stepped on the gas pedal.
Destination, Mingzhu Hotel!
"Man, what kind of weird place is this, can’t even get a ride with DiDi?" Ye Huan hid under the eaves on the roadside, his face as dark as coal.
It’s been ten minutes, he had already sent out over a dozen ride requests, but not a single driver accepted!
There’s no choice, this area near Chunxi Road is truly rural, the roads are full of potholes, and with the torrential rain, the roads have become muddy and impassable, understandably drivers wouldn’t want to come.
"What a hassle, there’s no hotel nearby either, can’t just stay here in the rain all night." Ye Huan looked troubled.
Suddenly, a luxury car pulled up by the side of the road, splashing water all over Huan Ge.
Ye Huan wiped the mud water off his face, cursing, "Damn, who is it, can’t you be more civilized..."
Before he finished swearing, he stopped.
"Get in?" The window of the Rolls-Royce Phantom rolled down, Liu Tianyun asked flatly.
Normally, Huan Ge would have cursed fiercely and walked away.
Now... there’s no choice.
Staying here overnight, he’d surely catch a cold from the damp or wind.
Being splashed... let’s call it a silent loss, after all, getting in the car means going home to sleep in a big bed, isn’t that nice?
Ye Huan sat in the passenger seat, snorted coldly, "Why are you here?"
"Went back for a shower, then I thought you’d probably finished things up. Seeing the rain, I came to pick you up." Liu Tianyun’s voice was calm.
Ye Huan glanced at the driver’s seat.
Liu Tianyun was wearing a purple silk nightgown, her hair still wet and unblown, exuding a strong fragrance, clearly just having finished a shower.
"You’re not worried about me, right, just came to see what’s happening?" Ye Huan asked involuntarily.
"Wishful thinking." Liu Tianyun’s response was concise to the extreme.
Ye Huan’s response was equally concise but carried another meaning, which was: if it’s truly my wishful thinking, then that would be best.
Liu Tianyun felt a bit uncomfortable inside but didn’t show it, asking calmly, "Is it resolved?"
"Resolved." Ye Huan replied.
Liu Tianyun glanced at him then fell silent, her mind elsewhere as she drove.
Ye Huan was right, she was indeed worried.
She knew that being unable to even truss a chicken, staying there wouldn’t help Ye Huan, rather it would be a burden, so she left by car first.
After returning to Penglai Lakefront, she took a shower, got ready to sleep, but couldn’t fall asleep, worried Ye Huan might be in danger.
Almost at a speed of 200 km/h, she rushed back.
Of course, she also attributed this worry to concern for "Big Brother."
Recently, she felt like she was possessed, subconsciously treating Ye Huan as the person in her heart.
"Liu Tianyun, you... really want to divorce me, right?"
Ye Huan’s abrupt words made Liu Tianyun’s heart skip a beat.
"Mm." After a moment of silence, Liu Tianyun replied with a cold face.
Hearing this, Ye Huan let out a long breath inside.
Exactly, how could this cold, aloof CEO possibly worry about me? Really overthinking it!
