Ruan Yun immediately became unhappy, shaking off Wen Xubai's hand and glaring angrily, "What do you mean?! How am I useless if I stay? At least... at least I can help Brother Yuan share the burden..."

As she finished speaking, Ruan Yun herself began to lose confidence, her voice growing softer and softer...

Wen Xubai glanced at him helplessly, then crossed his arms and asked, "So what do you want to do? Go back? Or go home?"

"I..." Ruan Yun was speechless for a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Her face flushed red, and Ruan Yun glared at him defiantly, muttering, "It's easy for you to stand here and talk like that, as if you're not worried about Wen Xuchi..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xubai was taken aback.

Ruan Yun, as if she had caught him by the tail, laughed and pointed at him, saying, "See! I told you so!"

Wen Xubai: "·······"

Wen Xubai glanced at him and said calmly, "With Ruan Xing around, they won't get into any trouble."

Ruan Yun murmured, "But Wen Xuyi is here too..."

"What do you mean?" Wen Xubai frowned.

He found it strange from the beginning. What Ruan Yun said to him in Jincheng seemed reasonable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it couldn't stand up to scrutiny.

Wen Xuyuan didn't need to go to such great lengths to deal with Wen Xushi. In terms of reputation, Wen Xuyuan was far superior to Wen Xushi, and in terms of backing, the Song family was a cut above the Chang family. Even with the Ruan family above them, it would only be a matter of going through a roundabout way. Why bother bringing him back in such a grand manner?

But Wen Xuyi has been... a little too well-behaved lately...

Given Qin Yalin's personality, from the moment Wen Xuchi returned, she would have definitely turned the entire Wen family upside down. But whether it was at the banquet last time or at this family dinner, even though Qin Yalin saw him and knew about him in advance, she never said a harsh word to her or Wen Xuchi. At most, she would only give him a glare.

But this is so unlike her.

The moonlight from the backyard shone on the two of them. Ruan Yun's eyes flickered, as if hesitating about something. After a while, she suddenly turned around and walked straight towards a Lamborghini not far away, calling out, "Let's talk in the car!"

The imposing car started and slowly drove towards the highway. On the way, Ruan Yun tossed him a document and said as she drove, "This is all the transaction records between my father and Yiyao Group over the past three years."

"Yiyao Group" is a company under Wen Xuyi, specializing in the pharmaceutical industry. It was initially managed by Qin Yalin, but after Wen Xuyao's death, it was transferred to Wen Xuyi's management. In recent years, it has been lukewarm and has not achieved any great success. It has only been able to survive until now thanks to the support of the Wen and Qin families.

Wen Xubai quickly skimmed through the text, his brows already furrowing.

Ruan Xing has been helping Wen Xuyi cover the deficit.

Wen Xuyi is a playboy who spends all his time indulging in pleasure. From childhood to adulthood, he has only ever spent money and never earned it. Long ago, Wen Tingyi had already abandoned him and left him to his own devices. But Qin Yalin was unwilling to accept this and kept sending him to the company, claiming that he was still young and needed more training.

Wen Xubai flipped through the pages of the paper in his hand with a rustling sound, and by the end he was almost laughing in exasperation.

The result of Qin Yalin's "training" of her child was that Wen Xuyi spent money more extravagantly than before, and even secretly transferred money from the company's accounts to spend for fear of being scolded by his parents.

At first, it was just a small amount, only a few hundred thousand, but later they became bolder and bolder, even reaching several million or tens of millions.

Wen Xubai's gaze fell on the last remittance slip, and he suddenly froze.

The scenery outside the car window flashed past quickly, along with Wen Xubai's thoughts, rushing by and gradually becoming indistinct.

3201250.50

Every number matches.

Wen Xubai's fingers suddenly tightened, crumpling the paper.

Meanwhile, Ruan Yun, her fingers gripping the steering wheel and eyes focused on the road, didn't notice his unusual behavior and began explaining, "Six months ago, Wen Tingyi's health suddenly deteriorated. Wen Xuyi, eager to prove himself to him, was extremely impatient. Just then, my father discovered several small companies on the verge of bankruptcy—clearly sunset industries—but he packaged them as promising green industries and spread false information to Wen Xuyi..."

"Wen Xuyi was incredibly stupid. He bought everything without thinking, and by the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late. The company immediately went downhill, and almost all of the companies with good qualifications, except for the Wen and Qin families, withdrew their investments, causing the cash flow to break down."

"Wen Xuyi originally wanted to ask Wen Tingyi for help, but at that time Wen Tingyi already had a bad impression of his son. Wouldn't it be better to let him know that he had caused such a big trouble and sever his father-son relationship with him? Qin Yalin also kept stopping him."

"At that time, Wen Xuchi was making quite a stir, and the two of them set their sights on our Ruan family..."

"Surrender," Wen Xubai said in a deep voice.

“Yes! It’s surrender!” Ruan Yun nodded in agreement. “Wen Xuyi wants to make peace with Wen Xuchi and rely on the Ruan family to gain a foothold.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Xubai's heart sank to the bottom.

With Wen Xuchi and Wen Xuyi cooperating, and Wen Xushi collaborating with the Chang family, all fingers suddenly turned against Wen Xuyuan. Beset on all sides, surrounded by enemies, it's no wonder Ruan Yun was worried…

Looking at the long string of numbers on the account sheet, Wen Xubai asked in a deep voice, "What is this payment for?"

Ruan Yun glanced at it and tilted her head: "I don't know, maybe it's some kind of car or bag or something."

Wen Xuyi always adhered to the principles of a playboy, having countless mistresses outside, so he naturally had to "take care of things" in many ways, buying countless luxury goods, which Ruan Yun took as one of them.

Unaware of Wen Xubai's gradually darkening gaze, Ruan Yun subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror, then suddenly her pupils widened, "Wen Xubai, look behind you!"

Startled by the sound, Wen Xubai's thoughts returned, and he looked back.

Upon seeing this, a chill instantly ran down my spine.

Two black cars were following closely behind.

"Tsk, am I seeing things? They're following us, aren't they???" Ruan Yun turned a corner, a little impatient.

Sure enough, the two cars that were originally in the straight lane also changed lanes with them in an instant.

Wen Xubai's eyes turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "Shake them off."

Ruan Yun pouted, slammed the accelerator to the floor, and said unhappily, "I know without you telling me!"

The speed increased instantly, and the three cars sped straight onto the highway.

"So annoying, you little tagalong!" Ruan Yun frowned slightly, her eyes filled with undisguised annoyance, and slammed her hand on the steering wheel!

Wen Xubai's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He glanced back in the rearview mirror and saw that the driver was dressed in casual clothes with a full beard, someone he had never seen before.

The wind howled in his ears, and as he sped along, his blood rushed to his head. Ruan Yun drifted away from the vehicle in front of him and then accelerated again!

During the high-speed chase, Ruan Yun shouted, "Is that Wen Xushi's man???"

A gust of wind rushed into the car, quickly scattering his voice. Wen Xubai's brain raced, and his gaze inadvertently swept towards the distant skyscrapers. Suddenly, a "buzz!" sound went through his mind.

"No!" he exclaimed.

Wen Xushi's cooperation with the Chang family was not to deal with Wen Xuyuan at all, but to deal with Wen Xuchi!

Feigning cooperation to bring down the Chang family, and then using that as leverage to pledge allegiance to Wen Xuyuan, their ultimate goal was simply to bring down Qi Zui!

"What's wrong???" Ruan Yun shouted, he could barely hear Wen Xubai's words anymore.

Enduring the pain of blood rushing to her ears, Ruan Yun hurriedly tried to close the window, but no matter how hard she pressed, the window wouldn't budge.

"Huh? What's going on?" He pressed harder a few more times, but there was still no response.

Wen Xubai quickly realized what was happening and pressed the window twice, but there was still no response.

A bad thought flashed through his mind, and Wen Xubai shouted, "Stop the car!"

Upon hearing the instruction, Ruan Yun immediately stepped on the brake, her face already showing panic.

But as soon as she stepped on the brakes, Ruan Yun's face turned completely pale.

The vehicle showed no signs of slowing down.

Ruan Yun's mind went blank for a moment, and her hands gripping the steering wheel began to tremble.

"Watch out!" Wen Xubai rushed over and grabbed the steering wheel, forcefully pulling the car back from the brink of crashing into the private car!

"Don't get distracted!" Wen Xubai shouted as he dodged oncoming vehicles.

Ruan Yun's body was already weak. It was only after he shouted in her ear that she managed to regain some strength, grip the steering wheel again, and her frightened eyes were filled with tears.

Whether she was asking Wen Xubai or talking to herself out of sheer fear, Ruan Yun frantically maneuvered the vehicle while muttering, "What do we do? What do we do??? Think of something!"

Wen Xubai's complexion was also not good. The surging wind took away some of their air, and both of them began to have difficulty breathing. The cold wind was like a knife, cutting their faces painfully.

In a panic, Wen Xubai opened his phone and instinctively dialed a number!

"Beep beep—beep beep—"

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later..."

Hearing the cold, mechanical female voice, Wen Xubai's heart sank, and his hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

"Who are you calling???" Ruan Yun panicked and shouted frantically, "Call Brother Yuan! Call Brother Yuan! Brother Yuan will definitely come to save us!"

Wen Xubai's heart sank. He quickly crossed out the phone number that displayed "Qi Zui" and dialed the police instead.

"Hello, this is..."

Before the other party could speak, Wen Xubai quickly interrupted: "Hello, our vehicle has lost control on the G4 highway, the brakes have failed, please contact us immediately..."

"Bang!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Xubai felt a violent impact and was thrown forward towards his seat!
