Chapter 178 Temporary Safety
Li Ruochu sat in the car, feeling a little nervous. As the car slowly drove into the manor, she looked around through the window with curiosity and vigilance.
The manor was full of green trees and neatly trimmed lawns spread out like a green carpet. In the distance, a European-style building stood among flowers.
It is full of luxury and elegance, and looks like the residence of a noble.
The car stopped steadily and the driver moved quickly and got out first.
She walked around to the man's door, opened it respectfully, and then carefully helped lift the wheelchair down.
Li Ruochu followed and got out of the car. Ji Wuchen glanced at her with a look of scrutiny and indifference in his eyes, and said briefly: "Come with me."
Li Ruochu nodded slightly, and naturally took over the driver's seat. He gently held the handles of the wheelchair with both hands and pushed Ji Wuchen forward.
Her movements were a little clumsy, but she tried her best to keep steady, and her eyes still wandered around from time to time, trying to get more information from this unfamiliar environment.
"This is the manor where I live. Don't worry, there are no outsiders here." Ji Wuchen raised his head slightly, looking ahead calmly, with a hint of loneliness in his tone.
Ever since his legs became disabled, he had developed a resistance to the outside world and was unwilling to interact with others.
His thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the past, when the Ji family and the Long family were good friends and had frequent business collaborations.
It’s just that Long Yihuan seems to have greater ambitions and is not satisfied with the existing cooperation model.
At an important company meeting, the two disagreed and had a heated argument on the spot.
Who could have thought that the woman was so cruel that shortly after the meeting, she sent someone to deliberately cause a car accident and broke his legs.
Although Country F has advanced medical technology, his hope of getting back on his feet is slim. This cruel reality is like a heavy shackle that has been imprisoning him.
Arriving at the room, Li Ruochu looked around and found that it was indeed very quiet. Apart from the nanny who took care of Ji Wuchen's daily life, he didn't see anyone else.
However, when the nanny saw Li Ruchu, her originally kind expression instantly turned as cold as ice.
Her eyes were wide open, burning with anger.
Without saying anything, he raised the shovel in his hand, pointed at Li Ruochu, and cursed viciously: "You shameless woman, how dare you come here? If it weren't for you, our master wouldn't have become like this."
The voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the room, filled with hatred.
After saying that, the woman rushed towards Li Ruochu with a shovel in her hand like a madman, trying to drive out the culprit in her eyes, her face distorted with anger.
"Sophia, you've got the wrong person." Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Wuchen hurriedly stopped the nanny's actions loudly, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.
Sophia stood there in a daze, the shovel in her hand suspended in mid-air, her eyes full of confusion and unwillingness. She turned to look at Ji Wuchen, as if waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.
Hearing this, Sophia was slightly stunned, but the doubt in her eyes did not disappear. She stared at Li Ruchu's face, which was extremely similar to her enemy's, and firmly believed in her heart that she had definitely not recognized the wrong person.
"Master, if it weren't for this woman, you wouldn't have ended up like this. How could you bring her back?"
Sophia's voice was filled with a hint of anxiety and confusion. She frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry.
In her heart, everything that happened to the young master was the fault of the woman in front of her, but now the young master brought her back home, which was really hard for her to understand.
Moreover, if the master and the mistress knew about this, given their protective nature, they would definitely go and confront the Long family.
By then, it would probably trigger a new round of fierce conflict between the two families, with disastrous consequences.
"I wouldn't bring an enemy back home. This is Li Ruchu, she's from China." Ji Wuchen raised his head slightly, looking at Sophia calmly, his tone filled with unquestionable firmness.
He had no intention of revealing Li Ruchu's true identity to Sophia. The fewer people who knew about this, the better.
After all, before things are thoroughly investigated, any disturbance may cause unnecessary trouble.
Given the ruthlessness of the fake Long Yi Huan of the Long family, if she knew of Li Ruchu's existence, based on her personality, she would probably seek revenge by any means necessary.
After thinking for a moment, Ji Wuchen told Sophia to arrange a room for Li Ruochu: "You can stay here peacefully. I will let you go after I have investigated thoroughly."
After saying this, he turned his wheelchair and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment." Just when Ji Wuchen was about to leave, Li Ruchu suddenly called him, his voice clear but with a hint of urgency.
"What else do you have to say?" Ji Wuchen stopped, turned his head slightly, and looked at Li Ruchu with a questioning look in his eyes.
"I want to ask you, is there a man named Feng Yizhou here?" Li Ruochu bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes full of anticipation, as if the name Feng Yizhou had a special meaning to her.
"Feng Yizhou?" When Ji Wuchen heard the name, his brows slightly frowned and he quickly searched for related memories in his mind.
His eyes became somewhat focused and he thought for a long time, however, he had no memory of this name.
Then, Ji Wuchen shook his head gently, with a hint of apology on his face: "Sorry, I don't know him!"
"Excuse me for asking again, who is the person chasing you?" Ji Wuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Although the woman claimed that someone was chasing her, which was not necessarily false, he clearly saw that the group of people just now did not look like they were from the Long family.
After all, before this, he and the Long family were at loggerheads, and he knew the people in the Long family very well. The behavior style of that group of people was obviously different from that of the Long family.
Li Ruochu sighed inwardly, she knew that this man was not so easy to deceive.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Ruochu decided to tell the truth directly: "When I said someone was chasing me, it doesn't necessarily mean that it was really the Long family who was chasing me."
"Who is that?" Ji Wuchen's eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared at Li Ruchu, as if trying to find clues from her expression.
"It's Zhong Tingyan!" Li Ruochu took a deep breath and slowly uttered these three words.
Although the sound was not loud, it was particularly clear in this quiet room.
There was a trace of worry in her eyes. Zhong Tingyan's pursuit put her in danger all the time. Now that she spoke out, she hoped to get some help or advice from Ji Wuchen.
When Ji Wuchen heard the name, the expression on his face froze instantly, his eyes were full of shock, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "How did you offend him?"
His voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
