☆, Chapter 105: Calm Madness
Shu Wanning hasn't eaten for a day and a night.
My stomach was sour and my head was dizzy.
The curtains in the room were not drawn, leaving only a rabbit night light on the table to illuminate.
She threw back the quilt, stood up, took out two pieces of chocolate and stuffed them into her mouth. Her cell phone kept ringing, which annoyed her.
Both Cen You and Qiu Yuerong called her. She replied to the message to report that she was safe, changed her clothes and prepared to go downstairs.
I opened the door, but had been in the dark for too long and could only squint my eyes to adapt to the bright light in front of me.
After going downstairs, Xiaomei looked at her worriedly. She gave her a forced smile and said, "Xiaomei, ask the kitchen to make something to eat."
"Okay, young lady."
It was almost evening, and the wind was blowing quite hard outside, with scattered snowflakes floating around.
She went out in slippers, stood at the door and reached out to catch the snowflakes. The moment they fell on her hands, they were crystal clear and beautiful.
Wen Yuci had given instructions in advance, so the kitchen was always stocked with food. Seeing her frail figure, Xiaomei hurried over.
She draped the blanket over Shu Wanning and coaxed her softly, "Young Madam, let's eat."
The kitchen had prepared a lot of food, including nourishing soup. She sat alone at the dining table, feeling particularly lonely.
Maybe it was because the room was too warm, or the soup in front of me was too delicious, but I couldn't control my tears, and they fell into the soup in front of me one by one.
She drank the soup in big gulps and raised her hands to wipe away her tears, but her hands seemed to be out of control and no matter how hard she wiped, she couldn't wipe them clean.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she felt cold no matter how wrapped in the blanket.
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. For the first time, Shu Wanning felt that the two glass windows in the living room made her feel so insecure.
After she finished the soup in the bowl, her cell phone kept vibrating.
It was an unfamiliar number, so she hung up without hesitation.
The opponent was very persistent. When the opponent played the fifth call, Shu Wanning gently pressed the button to connect.
She didn't say anything. The other party was silent for about half a minute before speaking: "Is it Mrs. Wen?"
"no."
"Stop pretending! Mrs. Wen, Mr. Wen's brother is in our hands."
Shu Wanning got up and went upstairs, then replied, "Oh, what's the matter with you calling me?"
"You yourself, come to the unfinished building on the outskirts of the city, or I will push him down!"
Shu Wanning walked lightly. She opened the wardrobe and selected a tight-fitting top and jeans. After making sure that it was convenient for her to perform her punches and kicks, she closed the wardrobe.
"It's snowing outside." She said, "I can't drive, I need a driver to take me."
"Can."
After the other party hung up, Shu Wanning quickly changed her clothes and called Cen You and Shen Qingchen while going downstairs.
Cen You was cooking. After receiving the call, the spatula flew far away from his hand.
He went upstairs, comforted Qiu Yuerong and then went out. On the other side, Shen Qingchen was on his way out of "Yichuan Fengyue".
His phone was playing loudly, and Mu Shengran, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pointed at the nearby intersection and looked at him: "Leave me there."
"It's snowing so hard, and you want me to leave you alone on the road? Do you treat me like an animal?"
He suddenly turned the steering wheel at the intersection. The road was a bit slippery due to the snow, and the tires made a harsh sound as they rubbed against the road.
He said, "Let's go together."
Mu Shengran reached out from the back seat and took out her new flat shoes and put them on. She asked, "Is your sister-in-law going alone?"
"Impossible, Brother Yuci left someone by her side."
Yan He was driving and Shu Wanning was sitting in the back seat. Her chat history with Wen Yuci was still about a very warm moment.
She straightened her black windbreaker, as she had a lot of anger in her stomach that she had no place to vent.
Yan He was nervous, wondering if his boss had seen the message he sent.
Wen Yuci naturally didn't see it. He was leading his men to surround Barrett in his manor.
Shen Qingchen was relatively close to his destination, so he parked his car farther away from the unfinished building to avoid being exposed by the lights.
He stood beside the car. Mu Shengran did not get out. From a distance, he saw Yan He's car approaching.
Yan He stopped the car, Shu Wanning lowered the window, and said, "I'll go in first, you guys find a chance."
"Sister-in-law, be careful."
When the car drove away, Cen You followed closely behind. Mu Shengran got out of the car at that moment, and he was so frightened that he slammed on the brakes.
He rolled down the car window and looked at the two of them inquiringly.
Shen Qingchen motioned him to get out of the car and said, "I'll explain later, hurry up and follow me."
The three of them ran along the road. Shu Wanning had already gotten out of the car, and Yan He followed her upstairs.
The building is not high, only five floors, and there are lights on all around, which looks like it was arranged by those people.
The snow gradually stopped. On the fifth floor, Wen Yuming was tied to a pillar with his mouth sealed with tape.
Hearing the footsteps, Yan He stopped not far away and watched Shu Wanning walk forward alone.
There weren't many people around, two were sitting on stools, and two were sitting on the concrete floor.
"Hey, you're here?"
The burly man on the stool stood up, looked at Shu Wanning, and rubbed his hands together.
"Mrs. Wen is indeed beautiful."
Shu Wanning glanced at Wen Yuming. He was looking at her and shaking his head, looking at the two wounds on his face.
She retracted her gaze and asked, "Aren't you looking for me? What's the matter? Why don't you tell me?"
The burly man slowly walked towards her and stopped a few steps away. "Our superiors only told us to arrest you, but they didn't say what we were going to do."
Yan He wanted to move forward, but a man emerged from the darkness with the tip of a knife against his neck.
Shu Wanning didn't panic. He glanced around and said, "In other words, it's not that you want to kidnap someone, but you want to spend money or use favors to do things."
Her hands were in her coat pockets, and her expression was indifferent: "How much money did the higher-ups give you?"
"Mrs. Wen is so curious about her own worth?"
"I just want to increase the price so that you can make money more easily."
"Oh..."
The man laughed and said, "Boss Wen's wife is quite courageous. Facing four men, isn't she afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Shu Wanning walked a few steps towards Wen Yuming's position, and ignoring the men who stood up, stood by the unprotected wall.
She suddenly smiled, and under the fierce gazes of several people, she stretched out a foot and stepped in the air.
He tilted his head slightly to look at the burly man in the lead, and said with a faint smile: "You kidnapped him, but the condition was me. It seems that I am very important."
"I guess you'll have to catch him alive."
She glanced downstairs, which was covered in construction debris, and looked at them provocatively: "If I jump from here, how are you going to explain?"
"Are you threatening me?"
Shu Wanning nodded: "Indeed, I am threatening you."
Looking at her, the burly man signaled them not to be impulsive and moved closer to Wen Yuming.
"Mrs. Wen, if you don't take your foot back, I will kill him."
As he spoke, he took out a folding knife from his pocket and pressed it against Wen Yuming's heart.
Seeing this, Shu Wanning raised his chin nonchalantly: "Whatever you want, he's not my brother."
Wen Yuming no longer cared about being afraid. He felt that his sister-in-law seemed a little crazy.
