Chapter 716 Xu Chen's Protection
"She didn't leave the house for three whole days and nights?" Realizing this, Bo Jinyan was somewhat incredulous: "Are you sure you kept a close watch? Or that she escaped through the hotel's back door?"
If she really was still in the hotel, how could she have stayed inside for three whole days and nights without leaving?
If she doesn't go out, won't she get bored and restless?
Ah Cheng answered this point with certainty: "Young Master Bo, I estimate that she is still in her hotel room. I have arranged for people to keep watch at both the front and back doors of the Bulgari Hotel, but there has been no sign of her. So she should still be in the hotel."
He originally wanted to subtly inquire about Wen Qingyi's whereabouts at the hotel front desk, but he was afraid of alerting her, so he could only return to report first.
"When did Wen Qingyi become so cunning?" Bo Jinyan suspected that someone was guiding her behind the scenes: "Could it be Xu Chen?"
It should be.
If she really does have someone guiding her, then that person should undoubtedly be Xu Chen.
Currently, Wen Qingyi has no one to rely on except Xu Chen.
Thinking of this, Bo Jinyan's expression turned serious: "Keep an eye on her. If you get the chance, seize her! Do you hear me?"
"I understand, Mr. Bo."
After finishing his report, Acheng came down from his study upstairs.
No sooner had Ah Zeng left than Sang Ruo slowly emerged from the next room: "What's wrong, Ah Yan? I heard you slamming documents down in the next room. Did you and Ah Cheng have a fight?"
"No." This can't even be called an argument: "Acheng was just reporting to me about work. I feel that this time, Wen Qingyi is far more troublesome than when she was still Gong Lian's fiancée."
At that time, she was Gong Lian's fiancée, so he didn't have the chance to kill her.
But this time, Xu Chen was much more troublesome than Gong Lian.
Gong Lian was his mortal enemy, their sworn enemies, but Xu Chen? He was his cousin, a relative.
A slight misstep could easily worsen the already fragile relationship between the Bo and Xu families, and could even destroy the kinship that the old man has carefully maintained for many years.
Sang Ruo didn't immediately grasp his implication, her upper eyelashes fluttering: "What's wrong? Wasn't Wen Qingyi already arrested by the police?"
How did it become so tricky?
"After Wen Qingyi was arrested by the police that day, my cousin Xu Chen took people to the police station and got her released."
Bo Jinyan frowned, feeling for the first time how tricky things were: "She's currently being held at the Bulgari Hotel by Xu Chen. I wanted to arrest her, but she won't even step out of the hotel, giving me no chance to make a move."
In her mind, it was impossible for her to have discovered his plan so quickly.
The fact that Xu Chen noticed it so quickly shows that he put a lot of effort into protecting her.
"How could this happen?" This turn of events was something Sang Ruo hadn't expected: "If Wen Qingyi can't be brought to justice soon, then wouldn't Xiao Kang's suffering have been in vain? That's unfair to Xiao Kang!"
If it weren't for Xiaokang's intelligence, resourcefulness, and strong vigilance, it's uncertain whether he would have survived this time.
The culprit is still at large to this day?
And she even received Xu Chen's protection?
Even for her, this was the first time she had ever felt a chill run down her spine.
What kind of magic does Wen Qingyi possess that makes so many men want to help her time and time again?
Gong Lian was like that, and Xu Chen is the same this time.
Bo Jinyan thought so too: "Who can argue with that? If Wen Qingyi weren't being protected by my cousin Xu Chen, I would have captured her long ago! But now..."
“I feel this is a protracted battle. Unless Xu Chen is willing to let go, even if we capture her, do you believe Xu Chen will bring his men to your door and force you to hand her over?”
He knew Xu Chen's personality better than anyone else.
He was different from Gong Lian, a ruthless villain. His background was no less than Gong Lian's, but he kept his thoughts hidden and always did the right thing.
You can only glean some insight from what he does.
"Would Xu Chen really go to such lengths for Wen Qingyi?" Just listening to him, Sang Ruo could feel the pressure: "Ayan, why is your cousin Xu Chen helping Wen Qingyi so much? Doesn't he know he's protecting a murderer?"
If he knows this but still chooses to do it anyway, then it's very likely that, as Ayan said, this will be a protracted war.
I don't know what he was thinking. Of all the people he could protect, he had to protect Wen Qingyi.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan couldn't help but sneer, "I think he might know this, in fact, he does it precisely because he knows it."
"Xiao Ruo, I feel that Xu Chen's protection of Wen Qingyi this time is not only aimed at me, but more like at you."
Were they after her?
"Targeting me?" Sang Ruo pointed to herself in disbelief, feeling that his guess was a bit unreasonable: "I have no grudge against him, we've only met once, why would he target me like this?"
Bo Jinyan didn't speak for a moment, but his eyes said it all.
It was because he married Sang Ruo instead of Wen Qingyi, whom the Xu family had chosen for him.
Sang Ruo realized what was going on the moment she met his gaze: "I understand now. It's because you married me instead of Wen Qingyi, whom your uncle arranged for you to get married, that's why he's targeting me like this, right?"
Actually, this was already hinted at at the Bo family banquet that day, but she didn't take their targeting to heart at the time.
That's why the problems were overlooked.
Bo Jinyan nodded slightly, his eyes filled with deep guilt: "I'm sorry, Xiao Ruo, it's all because of me. It was because I didn't handle my engagement with Wen Qingyi properly that you suffered so much."
If it weren't for him, Xiao Ruo would have suffered far less.
And we wouldn't be in this dilemma today because of him.
“Ayan, this is not your fault.”
Sang Ruo walked straight to his side, wrapped her arms around his neck, sat in his lap, and said with her pink lips pressed against his neck, "We all underestimated Wen Qingyi's power. I never expected that she could still thrive so well after losing Gong Lian."
Her act of comforting him with her body caused Bo Jinyan to instinctively wrap his arms around her waist.
The man buried his face between her collarbones, his hot breath spraying onto her delicate skin: "Xiao Ruo, shall we have a child?"
He really, really wanted to have a child with her.
