Chapter 1496 Please, let her sleep better

His tone was calm and composed, but the meaning he revealed made everyone look terrified.

No wonder the call came so timely. Chu Yan must have placed spies or surveillance cameras in the Huo family, so he knew at the first time that they had guessed the location, and as soon as he knew it, he simply called and took the initiative to inform the address.

Their every move was under his control.

Huo Chengde glanced around the hall with a very grim expression, then glanced coldly at Huo Lang, who immediately lowered his head with a pale face.

Cheng Zhiyuan's attention did not shift at all. He still stared at his phone and said,

"How can I be sure that she is with you? What if you set a trap at sea and Shen Pianpian is imprisoned somewhere else?"

"oh,"

Chu Yan was nonchalant.

"Do you want me to take a photo or video of you? Sure, I'll have someone bring her over. She's been tied up on the deck in the cold wind all day, so I finally had mercy on her and let her sleep in the basement for a while."

As he said this, he turned to the side and said,

"Go and drag her here."

"No."

A faint trace of blood oozed from between his teeth. Cheng Zhiyuan loosened his teeth, which were clenched so tightly that they were almost numb, and spoke slowly, word by word.

"No."

He stared straight at the table, where he saw his own ghostly reflection and a smiling Shen Pianpian. After a pause, he slowly said in an almost humble tone,

"Please, let her sleep better."

There was a strange and long silence. For a moment, the only sound in the receiver was the dull thud of waves crashing. When Chu Yan's voice rang out again, it was inexplicably filled with a hint of irritation and coldness.

"Aren't you asking too much of a kidnapper, Commander Cheng?"

He seemed to have suddenly become very impatient.

"See you tomorrow, Commander Cheng, Chief Cheng. If either of you is missing, I will throw the bodies of Shen Pianxian and Cheng Yuqing into the sea."

"When the time comes, you can go look for people in the shark's belly."

The call was hung up with a click. Cheng Zhiyuan swayed slightly, and before he could recover from the numbness and pain, Commander Cheng's order came crashing down on him.

"You are not allowed to go! Return to the imperial capital right now!"

"You can't order me around now, Grandpa,"

Cheng Zhiyuan raised his head, his expression strangely calm.

"You didn't bring many people with you, but I have the help of the Huo and Shao families, the two most powerful families in Yungang."

Yan Yi, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but twitched his lips and said lazily,

"Who wants to help you? I just want to find the artists I'm responsible for."

He glanced at Commander Cheng who was standing stiffly, and said in a contemptuous but threatening tone,

"But if someone really wants to stop me from finding my cash cow, I don't mind siding with you."

On the other hand, Mr. Huo had recovered from his initial rage. After calming down, he immediately knew clearly what was most important now.

He sat back on the sofa, his expression still cold.

"If Chief Cheng insists on helping, then of course one more person means more strength. Besides, this matter was originally caused by your Cheng family."

He became angry again, knocked the floor hard with his cane, and said fiercely with gritted teeth,

"No! Today, neither of you from the Cheng family can leave! I don't care whether Chu Yan wants to laugh at you or really wants to exchange her life for yours, even if it's true, you, Cheng Zhiyuan, have to go and get her back!"

"Call everyone here!"

The old man looked at Commander Cheng with a cold expression, but he was telling Huo Lang,

"Until Pian Pian returns home safely, Commander Cheng and Chief Cheng, no one is allowed to leave Yungang!"

Huo Lang took the order and left. Commander Cheng stood in the middle of the hall, staring with wide eyes at the three people who were opposing him and the bodyguard who stood silently at the door of the hall. He felt the blood in his body run cold.
