Chapter 95 Who Else Could It Be?

As those two brilliant minds had predicted, there was absolutely no need for any complicated procedures.

The next day, he simply sent a vague message to Shen Xun saying, "There's something important about Ruan Yi, come over and discuss it," and the other side immediately erupted in chaos.

I thought it would take at least half a day, since it's across time zones and would take at least a dozen hours.

But less than two hours after the message was sent, the villa doorbell rang.

When they opened the door and saw the dusty, rugged man standing there, they were both taken aback.

At that speed, did they arrive by rocket?

Fu Jingchen glanced at the man up and down a few times, and then he knew the answer in his heart.

Judging from this situation, it's likely that Shen Xun couldn't hold back any longer. Ruan Yi has been in the US for so long, and he's probably been itching to come and see her.

But they just happened to choose today, which coincided with them delivering the message. It was a win-win situation.

By the time I send the message, this guy might already be getting off the plane.

The three of them stared at each other in the living room, a strange tension spreading through the air.

Shen Xun clearly had no patience to waste time. He glanced at the two men's solemn expressions and frowned.

"Spit it out, don't just stand there like two telephone poles."

Pei Lian's gaze toward Chen Xun was full of mockery, as if he were looking at a fool who had just walked into a trap.

Shen Xun immediately caught that disdainful gaze, his brows furrowed, and he was about to lash out when Pei Lian pushed the test results in front of him.

The two men in front of me each embellished their own version of the whole story.

The key points weren't missed, but the details were described in an even more exaggerated way.

His gaunt face instantly darkened, turning as black as if swept by a storm.

He stared intently at the words on the lab report, his knuckles turning white from the pressure.

The next second, with a loud crash, his hand, which was putting down the documents, lost its grip and smashed the glass coffee table next to him, scattering shards all over the floor.

Pei Lian sneered inwardly.

Seeing is believing!

"Is he a violent maniac? That's all he's good for."

That's how it is. With Ruan Yi's rabbit-like temper, it's a miracle she's not scared away.

Once he exposes this, he'll most likely be kicked out by Ruan Yi first, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Fu Jingchen also looked somewhat displeased.

His glass coffee table was smashed...

"Xiao Yi used to love sleeping here the most."

"Even if we buy another one, it won't be one she's already lain on."

Despite their differing emotions, the Bubble Brothers both swallowed the urge to swear.

"I'm going to expose that beast right now!"

Shen Xun suddenly stood up, his eyes burning with anger.

"I'm going to expose all his dirty deeds! I'm taking Ruan Yi away, and none of you will let her stay here any longer!"

"Don't act impulsively."

Pei Lian spoke insincerely, but couldn't help but smile slightly, unable to hide his schadenfreude.

Fu Jingchen stood to the side, his face expressionless, but the ease in his eyes was unmistakable.

"It seems the right choice was made for the lead role in this play."

Pei Lian tried to persuade him verbally, but he didn't move an inch. Fu Jingchen was also rooted to the spot, and neither of them reached out to stop him.

Shen Xun's hand was already gripping the doorknob, but he suddenly stopped a second before he could push the door open.

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the two of them before finally settling on Fu Jingchen's face, his tone carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Why didn't you tell them?

He didn't know much about this weird-looking, irritating white-haired man, but he had long since noticed that Fu Jingchen had feelings for his little fiancée.

If a boss cares so much about his subordinate that he doesn't even try to hide it, it's highly suspicious that such a good opportunity to expose him is being passed on to him.

Fu Jingchen calmly met his gaze.

"That's rare, it even has a brain."

Just as he was about to answer, Pei Lian stepped forward, speaking slowly and deliberately, with a tone that was somewhat ambiguous.

“Mr. Shen, he is Ruan Yi’s boss, and I am Ruan Yi’s doctor. We are her friends.”

Pei Lian pronounced the word "friend" very softly, but the last syllable rose in a strange, inexplicable way.

Hearing Pei Lian's smooth tone, Chen Xun couldn't help but furrow his brows, his anger rising again.

Pei Lian just smiled, completely ignoring his anger, and even took a half step forward.

"Mr. Shen, you are her fiancé..."

"Shouldn't it be the person most qualified to uncover the truth about this kind of thing?"

"At least you have some self-awareness."

Shen Xun sneered, his gaze sweeping over the two of them with undisguised disgust.

"However, you are not qualified to be her friends."

After saying that, Shen Xun didn't look at the two of them again, slammed the door shut, and stormed out angrily.

The moment the door closed, silence returned to the living room.

Pei Lian raised an eyebrow, a triumphant smile flashing in his eyes.

"The plan is proceeding as expected."

As soon as the car started and drove away, Fu Jingchen spoke.

"I have to keep up."

The man's tone was calm yet resolute.

He wasn't worried about how badly those two lunatics would fight.

Even if they're beaten half to death, it's still a good thing.

What really concerned him was that if a conflict broke out, he couldn't let Ruan Yi be affected in the slightest.

Upon hearing this, Pei Lian nodded thoughtfully in agreement, then suddenly chuckled softly.

"You can't not go even if you want to."

He waved the lab report that had been left in his hand.

"That idiot didn't even bring any evidence."

A hint of disdain flashed in both of their eyes, but they said nothing more and got up to leave together.

The rickety car had just turned the corner when another car followed behind.

The engine sounded neither too fast nor too slow, keeping a steady distance behind, like two silent shadows heading in the same direction.

As the car drove onto the viaduct spanning the river, the red glow of the setting sun spread out, and the streetlights on both sides of the bridge formed two dim yellow ribbons of light.

Fu Jingchen's grip on the steering wheel suddenly tightened; there were cars blocking their way.

It started as a slight probing, when a black sedan suddenly cut in from the right lane, almost grazing their rearview mirror.

Immediately afterwards, two more SUVs accelerated from behind, flanking them from the left and right, effectively separating them from the jagged car in front.

What's even more ruthless is that those cars seemed to have anticipated their pursuit, constantly braking and changing lanes to deliberately slow them down.

Fu Jingchen's knuckles turned white on the steering wheel, but he never slammed on the brakes. Instead, he repeatedly applied the brakes in short, precise taps, maintaining a precise distance from the car ahead, his eyes fixed on the taillights of the car that were gradually getting smaller.

But the other party was clearly prepared. After several rounds of entanglement, the red light eventually merged into the traffic in the distance.

The hunched car disappeared completely.

"Your enemy?"

Pei Lian frowned and turned to look at Fu Jingchen.

After all, the other party is the president of a vast business empire, so it's not surprising that he has made many enemies.

The words had barely left his mouth when a muffled thud exploded.

Spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across the windshield in front of the passenger seat, with a bullet embedded in the center of the glass interlayer, its edges still bearing fine shards of glass.

"Thank goodness it's bulletproof."

The white-haired doctor raised his hand and touched the crack, speaking in a flat tone as if he were talking about the weather, then gave a cold laugh and continued speaking.

"It seems to be my enemy."

Fu Jingchen's face darkened; he had realized the seriousness of the situation.

He and Pei Lian exchanged a glance, but strangely, neither of them showed any panic in their eyes, as if they had been mentally prepared all along.

The next second, the man suddenly turned the steering wheel and floored the accelerator.

The car shot off like an arrow, weaving nimbly through the dense traffic, sometimes cutting lanes to overtake, sometimes using gaps to accelerate—its driving skills were ridiculously good.

Several more gunshots rang out from behind, the bullets hitting the car with dull thuds, but failing to stop its speed.

"You're a doctor, what brings you such a deep grudge?"

Fu Jingchen's voice was as cold as ice as he asked, dodging a truck that suddenly changed lanes.

Pei Lian narrowed his eyes, his gaze piercing through the crack as he looked at the passing traffic outside the window, his tone carrying a hint of unspoken sarcasm.

"What do you think? Who else could it be?"

Except for that madman who laid a trap around Ruan Yi.

"Who else could it be?"
