Chapter 24, Was it not him who came to save her?
"what you up to?"
"What are we going to do... of course, we're going to borrow something from Yansheng in your name." Xie Xiaoyu grinned maliciously. "How about we make a bet on how much value you have in his heart?"
"Stop dreaming!" Wen Hanyun endured the pain and looked at her coldly. "He won't let you have your way."
"No, Yansheng cares about you so much, he will definitely give me everything I want for you."
Xie Xiaoyu scoffed and, with a sharp slash of the knife, drew a shallow line of blood on Wen Hanyun's cheek.
"Hmm!"
Warm blood slid down her cheeks, and the intense pain made her tremble. Her eyes grew even colder: "You will be punished for coveting what doesn't belong to you."
"Heh, retribution? Once I get the money and get on the plane, you won't be able to find me even if you want to. You still want to get revenge on me?"
Xie Xiaoyu took Wen Hanyun's phone out of her pocket, unlocked it with her fingerprint, and made a video call to Yansheng.
The video call was answered after one ring, and Yansheng's anxious voice came through the receiver.
"Hanyun, why haven't you answered your phone all day?"
"Mr. Yan, how have you been?"
Xie Xiaoyu raised her phone and pointed it at the camera, responding triumphantly.
Yan Sheng's tone instantly turned cold. "How come it's you! How did you get her phone? Xie Xiaoyu, what have you done to her?!"
“She’s fine, she’s still alive for now.” Xie Xiaoyu grabbed Wen Hanyun’s hair, forcing her to tilt her head up to face the camera. “However, whether she can continue to live depends on whether you know what’s good for you.”
What do you want?
Seeing the bloodstains on Wen Hanyun's face, Yan Sheng immediately understood what had happened, and his voice was filled with suppressed rage.
Money? Or something else? He'll give you anything, as long as Wen Hanyun is safe!
“It’s very simple.” Xie Xiaoyu said in a flippant tone, “Prepare ten million in cash for me, and book me a first-class ticket to the United States tonight. I’ll be waiting for you at the warehouse at the West City Wharf.”
"I'll go get the cash now, and I'll book the plane ticket right away, but only if you don't let him get hurt in the slightest, otherwise you're not leaving!"
"Heh, Yansheng, don't even think about secretly calling the police." Xie Xiaoyu held a knife to Wen Hanyun's face. "I'm only giving you ten minutes. If it's even one second longer, I'll slash Wen Hanyun's face! You decide what to do!"
"Yansheng, don't agree to her request." Wen Hanyun raised her head. "She's a lunatic. Even if you give in to her demands, she won't let me go!"
"Shut up!" Xie Xiaoyu slapped her hard across the face, causing blood to immediately seep from the corner of her mouth. "Do you think Yansheng will listen to you? He loves your face, how could he bear to let you be disfigured?"
Yan Sheng, on the other end of the phone, was heartbroken to the point of almost going crazy when he saw Xie Xiaoyu lay a hand on Wen Hanyun. “Xie Xiaoyu, if you dare to touch her again, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
"Looks like you're still not in a hurry. Then how about we shorten the time even further?" Xie Xiaoyu smiled smugly as she saw Yan Sheng getting angry. "I need to see the money and plane ticket in five minutes, and you have to come alone. If you dare bring anyone else, I'll kill her on the spot!"
Before Yan Sheng could answer, Xie Xiaoyu hung up the phone decisively.
She walked up to Wen Hanyun and took out a medicine bottle without a label.
"Wen Hanyun, the wait is still long, why don't we play something interesting first?"
"This is an aphrodisiac imported from Thailand, you're getting a good deal. I hope you can perform well later."
As she spoke, she reached for the medicine bottle.
Just then, the warehouse door was suddenly kicked open, and Yan Zhe rushed in with two bodyguards, each holding an iron bar.
"Xie Xiaoyu, let her go!"
Xie Xiaoyu was startled, turned her head and saw Yan Zhe, a look of surprise on her face:
"Yanzhe, how did you get in?"
"The piece of trash you were guarding outside has already been subdued by my bodyguards."
"You vicious woman, get out of my way!"
Yan Zhe rushed to Xie Xiaoyu's side, snatched the medicine bottle from her hand, and kicked her to the ground.
The fruit knife fell to the ground with a clatter, and Xie Xiaoyu clutched her stomach and screamed in pain.
"Hanyun, are you alright?"
Yan Zhe looked at the bloodstains and swollen cheeks on Wen Hanyun's face, his eyes filled with a hint of heartache.
Wen Hanyun looked at him, her heart filled with doubt.
"Yanzhe...how did you know I was here?"
She never expected that he would be the first to arrive.
"I... I just happened to be passing by and saw you being led into a strange car, so I followed," Yanzhe explained somewhat guiltily. "Hanyun, you see, I'm the one who worries about you the most, unlike the others around you, they're all hypocritical..."
As he spoke, he went to untie the ropes binding Wen Hanyun.
"Thank you for saving me, but it's impossible between us now." Hearing his pointed disparagement of Yan Sheng, Wen Hanyun's tone suddenly turned cold. "Yan Zhe, we're over."
Yan Zhe paused as he untied the rope, his smile vanished instantly, and his eyes turned sinister and obsessive.
"Impossible? Wen Hanyun, don't forget, if Yansheng hadn't interfered, we would have been married long ago!"
"We've been together for seven whole years, and you're not even willing to give me one chance?"
He grabbed Wen Hanyun's wrist with such force that he almost crushed her bones.
"As long as you reunite with me, I will take you away from here and never let anyone hurt you again."
Wen Hanyun turned her face away, "Yanzhe, don't be so shameless!"
"What right do you have to reject me?" Yan Zhe's face twisted instantly, all his previous affection vanished, replaced by a ferocious desire. "Wen Hanyun, don't push your luck!"
He turned to the bodyguard behind him and ordered, "Keep an eye on Xie Xiaoyu, don't let her get in the way!"
He grabbed Wen Hanyun and the chair she was sitting on, moved them to a spot against the wall, took out the medicine he had just snatched from Xie Xiaoyu, and was about to shove it into Wen Hanyun's mouth.
"Since you don't appreciate it, then I'll have to take matters into my own hands. Anyway, you'll be mine sooner or later, so what difference does it make if it's sooner or later?"
He couldn't wait to see Wen Hanyun kneel down between his legs and beg him!
Wen Hanyun felt a little flustered.
If I had known, I should have pretended to comply with Yanzhe and at least waited for him to untie the ropes on my hands first!
But it's too late for regrets now; all she can do is desperately try to dodge.
"Yanzhe, calm down, let go of me..."
Xie Xiaoyu lay on the ground, looking at the scene before her, a delighted smile appearing on her lips.
Just then, the warehouse door was flung open with a loud bang.
"Yanzhe, you're asking for it!"
