Chapter 109 Kidnapping Duan Xi'er
Back in the car, Wang Kai couldn't hide the joy in his eyes as he turned around and asked, "Boss, how did your talk with that person go?"
God knows how anxious he was, waiting outside for so long without knowing anything about what was going on.
He leaned against three points on the hard wooden chair, his back completely numb. Shen Jingsi sat upright, supporting himself on the central armrest, and pressed his temples.
“I will vouch for him for five years, and he will vouch for them, mother and daughter, for twenty years.”
Wang Kai couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth from turning up. "Then should you go back and tell Madam about this first?"
Without the glasses to conceal it, Shen Jingsi's eyes were filled with undisguised weariness. "No, let's go to the bakery first, finish quickly, and go back to be with her."
…
When Lu Zhenyu, wearing a scarf, wheeled herself out of the ward, she happened to catch the changing of the guard at the door.
"Madam, where are you going? I'll push you."
Lu Zhenyu waved her hand, "I just want to go to the fifth floor to see the baby I met this morning. He's a small child, so don't go with him and scare him."
Seeing the guard hesitate, she became impatient. "This building is full of plainclothes officers arranged by Shen Jingsi. If I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
After saying that, leaving the two guards looking at each other, seemingly agreeing but not daring to say anything, she turned her wheelchair and left.
Take the elevator directly to the seventh floor, the surgical department.
When her subordinates, who were waiting outside the ward, saw her, they thought they were hallucinating. They stared at her for a long time before exclaiming, "Madam, what brings you here?"
Lu Zhenyu smiled gently, "My husband was worried that Xiaoxi would be bored by herself, so he asked me to come and keep her company."
After saying that, he pushed the wheelchair into the house, leaving his two subordinates staring at each other, scratching their heads.
"No, so the boss actually had these kinds of feelings for that person inside?"
"It didn't sound like that before."
He was choking people and cursing them incessantly, and then, to keep people entertained, he had his wife come to keep him company.
What kind of strategy is this?
"Oh dear, this is none of our business. Since Madam has said so, we can't possibly..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door opened from the inside.
This time, someone was sitting in the wheelchair, with a scarf wrapped around their head and neck.
Lu Zhenyu pushed the wheelchair out and smiled at the two people who came over. "The sun is shining today, so we're going out for a walk. You don't need to come with us. I just finished a phone call with my husband."
Seeing the two staring at her blankly, Lu Zhenyu calmly took out her phone and handed it over, "If you don't believe me, why don't you call my husband yourselves?"
"Ah...ah!" The two quickly waved their hands, "Madam, what are you saying? The master listens to you at home, and of course we do too. Madam, please call us if you need anything."
Glancing at the person leaning motionless in the wheelchair, Lu Zhenyu smiled and nodded at the two of them, then pushed the wheelchair, walking casually step by step toward the elevator.
Duan Xi'er was awakened by a pungent smell of gasoline.
The room was too dark, and I wanted to rub my eyes, but the next second my sleepy eyes snapped open!
At this moment, she was bound to a wheelchair with rope, her hands and feet tied.
With a throbbing pain in the back of her head, she remembered that she had been lying peacefully in the ward when Lu Zhenyu suddenly pushed her wheelchair in.
With a sinister grin, he said he was there to check on her. As soon as he got close, he grabbed a jade staff from his sleeve and smashed it into the back of her head, knocking her unconscious instantly.
"Lu Zhenyu, stop playing tricks and come out right now!"
She methodically doused the entire villa with gasoline, discarded the metal buckets, pulled off her shawl to wipe her hands, and slowly walked up the stairs.
Duan Xi'er, her face flushed, struggled frantically in her wheelchair, the smell of gasoline filling her nostrils making her heart race.
"Stop struggling, I tied a knot that's impossible to escape unless you cut off your hand."
The sound came from behind, in Duan Xi'er's blind spot, and she kept twisting backward like a silkworm cocoon.
With a loud crash, the car and its occupants overturned.
This time, Lu Zhenyu was seen, but her pose, with half her body stuck in one spot, was quite embarrassing.
Suddenly, a woman who had become incredibly tall appeared in my line of sight, looking down at me with disdain.
His eyes were empty, expressionless, devoid of emotion.
Like a vengeful ghost crawling out of a mass grave at midnight.
This was the first time in Duan Xi'er's twenty-odd years that she had felt a physical fear of Lu Zhenyu.
The woman swallowed hard, and her instinctive attempt to dodge backward amused Lu Zhenyu.
Her pale, bloodless lips curled slightly as she slowly squatted down in front of the woman. "What? Scared before it even starts?"
Duan Xi'er licked her lips, "What do you want to do?"
"What are you doing?" Lu Zhenyu tilted her head, looked around at the gasoline-splashed area, and shrugged. "It's obvious. Can't the self-proclaimed smart Miss Duan even see this?"
Duan Xi'er could certainly tell.
She's trying to burn herself alive to get revenge.
"I didn't kill your child. If you're so capable, go find the kidnappers who abducted you."
"Besides, do you know that kidnapping and arson are illegal? If you kill me, you'll offend the Duan family. Do you think you'll have a good life from now on?"
Lu Zhenyu really thought about it seriously and shook her head, "It probably won't be easy for him to live."
It's alright, he hasn't gone completely insane and lost his mind.
Duan Xi'er sighed silently, "Then why don't you let me go? Considering you lost your child, I might consider letting bygones be bygones."
Listening to this utter nonsense without batting an eye, Lu Zhenyu laughed.
"So, even though I've been away for five years, this is how you've been acting in front of Shen Jingsi, right?"
Duan Xi'er's lips twitched involuntarily, trying her best to appear less nervous. "Whether I'm acting or not is none of your business, but I've already warned you that if you kill me, neither you nor the Shen family will get away with it."
"Didn't you love Shen Jingsi the most? Didn't you even marry a beast for him? Why aren't you afraid of implicating the Shen family now?"
Lu Zhenyu smiled as she played with the safety buckle.
She owes her success in life to the three words "fear of being implicated".
Afraid of implicating this person, afraid of implicating that person, in the end, they indulged the villains and ruined themselves.
"Now that I'm standing here, do you think I still care about those things?"
Duan Xi'er's face darkened, her cheeks puffed out, and her eyes gradually became wary.
"You want to die with me?"
Lu Zhenyu stopped stroking the jade buckle and raised an eyebrow. "You're very smart, or rather, you've always been smart."
But if you use your intelligence in the wrong way, that's a crime.
Duan Xi'er's tense nerves made her almost ignore the tearing pain in her abdomen, but she was unwilling to give up.
“Lu Zhenyu, I don’t think you’re stupid. If you kill me here today, my dad will destroy the Shen family tomorrow to avenge me.”
“Shen Jingsi is powerful and influential now, but don’t forget that of the 125 members of the Duan family, 98 hold important positions in the capital. Even if Shen Jingsi disliked me back then, he had to tolerate me because of the power of the Duan family. That speaks volumes.”
Lu Zhenyu, who was strolling leisurely in the living room with her hands behind her back, raised an eyebrow and said, "Then why don't you have your dad wipe out the Shen family?"
"..."
