With someone backing him up, Manager Li seemed very confident. He waved to Chen Ningsheng and shouted, "Hey, you over there, did you hear that? Brother Long is calling you. You've got a chance to get close to Brother Long, so why don't you come over here right now?"

Just as Manager Li finished speaking, Chen Ningsheng's phone suddenly rang. He calmly picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

Soon, the person on the other end of the phone told Chen Ningsheng some news. Upon hearing what the other person said, Chen Ningsheng smiled with relief.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ningsheng walked over to the man called Brother Long with a relaxed expression: "Misunderstanding? Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, it's hard to say."

"Hey, don't be like that. I don't think you're the kind of person who's unreasonable. Let's sit down and have a good talk, give each other a chance to get to know each other. There's no need to start off with threats of violence, right?"

The man called Brother Long smiled and patted Manager Li on the shoulder: "Tell us what exactly happened, and we'll see if we can find a solution."

Manager Li nodded and shifted all the blame onto Chen Ningsheng and Gu Yan: "These two lads, I was just running my business peacefully when they suddenly came into my shop, asking me to hand over some wife. How was I supposed to know who his wife was? I thought he was lovesick, so I called all the staff in the shop over."

"Who knew he didn't like any of them? That's fine, but he even wanted to come into my shop to find his wife. What kind of place is the kitchen? How could I let just anyone in? Of course, I made them come out, and then this is what you see, Brother Long."

Chen Ningsheng gritted his teeth, sneered, and was about to speak when a voice came from the doorway: "You're lying."

Chen Ningsheng looked up and saw Xu Xinchen walking slowly into the store accompanied by bodyguards. His eyes lit up, and he called out to Xu Xinchen, "Baby!"

Xu Xinchen blushed instantly upon seeing so many people in front of her: "Don't shout!"

Chen Ningsheng chuckled softly, jogged forward, and put his arm around Xu Xinchen's waist. The two of them turned to face Manager Li, who was now pale with fright.

Xu Xinchen's eyes were filled with disgust: "You're lying. You just locked me in the van and tried to take me away."

Manager Li's face was filled with panic: "You, how did you get out?"

Xu Xinchen frowned, turned her head away with a look of disgust, buried her head in Chen Ningsheng's arms, and refused to look at that Manager Li again.

Chen Ningsheng covered Xu Xinchen's face and gently stroked her hair with his hand: "Baby, don't be afraid, it's alright now."

Xu Xinchen nodded, her cheek rubbing against Chen Ningsheng's suit jacket, tears welling up in her eyes. She had been really scared just now, thinking that she would be killed and dismembered. When Chen Ningsheng found her, all that was left was a pile of bones.

I had barely calmed down after overhearing the conversation between the two waiters when the car stopped immediately.

A commotion outside drifted into the back of the carriage, and shortly after, the carriage door was opened.

The face that appeared before her was very familiar. It was Chen Ningsheng's bodyguard. She saw him every day when she worked at Chen Ningsheng's company.

Just now, the instant she saw him, she felt like she was going crazy with excitement. The feeling of being saved was indescribable, no words could express it.

Xu Xinchen buried her head in Chen Ningsheng's arms and rubbed it against his suit. Her voice was low and husky as she asked, "Ningsheng, how did you know I was in that van?"

She had just heard from the bodyguard that Chen Ningsheng had come to the coffee shop on his own, but insisted that they follow him in the van, even on the main road.

Chen Ningsheng smiled and patted Xu Xinchen's head: "My intuition tells me there's something wrong with that car."

As he spoke, Chen Ningsheng lowered his head and nuzzled Xu Xinchen's head with his chin: "I originally wanted to follow them myself, but I was scared. I was afraid that I would make a wrong judgment and that if the car was actually harmless, I would miss the chance to save you."

No one knows how anxious he was when he heard the news of Xu Xinchen's kidnapping. After arriving here and confirming the news with Gu Yan, he was almost driven mad.

To avoid doing something irreversible in a moment of impulse, he kept restraining himself, suppressing the urge to beat the fat man up, to the point that he was almost going crazy.

Xu Xinchen hasn't been found yet. He can't let a moment of anger cloud his judgment and lead him to commit a violent act that lands him in jail.

Once he's detained, Xu Xinchen will truly be beyond saving, so he can only desperately endure it. Now...

Once Xu Xinchen is found, it will be time for him to settle accounts with these bastards!

Chen Ningsheng took a step back while holding Xu Xinchen, and had the bodyguards guard the exit. He also called a few more bodyguards into the kitchen. Sure enough, they found a door in the kitchen's small storeroom that led to the alley behind. It was through that door that Xu Xinchen had been taken out earlier.

When Brother Long, who had been invited by Manager Li, saw the usually mild-mannered man suddenly become so ruthless, his expression immediately turned grim. He looked at Chen Ningsheng with eyes that seemed to be filled with knives, as if he wanted to stab several holes in Chen Ningsheng.

"Boss, can't we talk things out properly? Why make things so awkward for everyone?" Brother Long said to Chen Ningsheng while shaking the steel bar in his hand.

Chen Ningsheng held Xu Xinchen protectively in his arms. Upon hearing what Brother Long said, he immediately sneered, "Speak properly? You messed with my people and tried to treat me like a fool. You expect me to speak properly with you?"

Xu Xinchen sensed the murderous intent in Chen Ningsheng's words, reached out and tugged at Chen Ningsheng's clothes, and whispered something in his ear.

"Ning Sheng, don't be impulsive. Just block them from leaving. I called the police when I came back. They should be here soon. We don't need to get punished because of such a despicable person."

Xu Xinchen didn't want Chen Ningsheng to be punished because of her. If Chen Ningsheng had let his bodyguards beat someone up today, they would have gone from having the upper hand to being completely at a disadvantage!
