Chapter 447 Call the police and take him away
After hanging up the phone, he rubbed his brows, a trace of fatigue flashed across his eyes, but more of it was the relief that the dust had settled.
Now everything has been almost resolved.
There is no need to worry too much.
He drove back to the villa. Ji Wan was sitting in the living room reading a book. Hearing the noise, he immediately raised his head with a gentle smile on his face: "Ayan, you're back."
Chi Wenyan walked over and held her in his arms, resting his chin on her forehead, his voice slightly hoarse: "Wanwan, there's something I think I should tell you."
After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to speak out.
He briefly recounted the incident of Lu Liang's extortion, omitting the unsavory details and the unconventional means he had employed, and simply said that he had reported the matter to the police through normal channels.
"...He has been taken away by the police. The amount of money involved is huge and the nature of the case is serious. He will be severely punished by law."
After hearing this, Ji Wan's face turned pale little by little.
She was not a fool and understood everything in an instant.
It was her. It was because of her that A Yan was blackmailed.
Ten million, a full ten million.
It was because I was not careful enough that Lu Liang got the opportunity.
Huge guilt and self-blame instantly overwhelmed her.
"I'm sorry, Ayan, I'm sorry."
She grabbed Chi Wenyan's sleeve, her eyes red and her voice choked, "It's all because of me that you lost so much money..."
The ten million was squandered by that scoundrel and can never be recovered.
She felt sorry for the money, but even more sorry for everything he had endured to protect her.
"Silly girl." Chi Wenyan kissed away her tears distressedly and hugged her tighter. "You can earn money again if you lose it, but you can't be in trouble. To me, nothing is more important than you."
His voice was low and firm, carrying an unquestionable power. "This isn't your fault. It's the bad guy's greed. Now, he's gotten what he deserves. No one will bother you with these things anymore."
He gently stroked her back, soothing her trembling body: "Don't blame yourself, and don't worry about the money. As long as you are well, that's better than anything else."
Ji Wan leaned on his warm and solid chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. The panic and guilt in his heart gradually subsided, replaced by endless peace of mind and touching.
Yes, money can be earned again, but she must never lose this person.
She sniffed and nodded vigorously: "Yeah."
Chi Wenyan looked at her tear-stained face, and the last bit of gloom in his heart disappeared.
Everything is over. He will spend the rest of his life protecting a pure sky for her and never let her suffer any harm again.
Chi Wenyan lowered his head and looked at Ji Wan, who was crying in his arms, and felt extremely distressed.
He held her little face in his hands, gently wiping away the tears on her cheeks with his fingertips, but his tone was filled with unquestionable dominance: "Ten million? Wanwan, do you think I care about this little money?"
His eyes were deep, clearly reflecting her slightly open mouth in astonishment. "Don't even mention ten million. Even if it's one hundred million, one billion, as long as I can keep you safe and sound, as long as I can completely eliminate those flies trying to spy on you and hurt you, I won't blink an eye."
The man's voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, hitting Ji Wan's heart heavily.
Money to him is nothing but external possessions, a tool to protect her.
"But, that is after all..." Ji Wan wanted to say something, but he blocked her lips with a kiss.
This kiss was soothing, tender, and powerful, like a declaration.
He pried open her teeth and absorbed her sweetness, as if he wanted to devour all her anxiety and guilt.
After a long time, he let go of her slightly, his forehead against hers, their noses touching, their breaths intertwined.
"For me, the greatest loss is making you worried and terrified, and making you cry."
He stared into her eyes and spoke every word clearly, "Now, that rubbish has gone in. He will pay a heavy price for his greed and stupidity. As for the money, forget it."
Ji Wan looked at his handsome face so close to him, felt the warmth of his palm, listened to his decisive words, and the last bit of discomfort in his heart caused by the financial loss completely disappeared.
Instead, there is an overwhelming love and a great sense of happiness of being cherished and protected.
She hugged him back tightly, buried her face deeply in his strong chest, and said sullenly: "Ayan, you are so nice."
"Silly girl." Chi Wenyan chuckled and rubbed her hair.
At this moment, his phone vibrated slightly in his pocket. He didn't loosen his arm around Ji Wan, but calmly took out his phone with his other hand and quickly glanced at the screen.
There was only a very brief message on it: "Processed."
A cold and sharp light flashed across the depths of Chi Wenyan's dark pupils, so fast that it was impossible to catch.
He deleted the message casually, and the phone screen went dark, as if nothing had happened.
Chi Wenyan has never been a kind person. He might tolerate those who hurt him, but he would not let go of anyone who tried to hurt Ji Wan, whether they were the mastermind or the accomplice.
Lu Liang, the extortionist, is the main culprit, but those gossips who provided the "ammunition" also need to pay the price and be severely punished to let them know what they can say and who they absolutely cannot touch.
What he wants is not only to solve the current trouble, but also to eliminate future troubles.
"What are you thinking about?" Ji Wan felt his arms tighten around her, raised her head and asked curiously.
"I'm thinking," Chi Wenyan lowered his head, his deep eyes gently enveloping her, "Our Wanwan is so good, we have to hide her more carefully in the future and not let anyone covet her anymore."
There was a hint of joking in his tone, but the seriousness in his eyes was hard to miss.
Ji Wan was amused by him, and her heart was filled with warmth. She stood on tiptoe and placed a soft kiss on his lips: "I don't want to hide it. I want to stand by you openly."
Her eyes were clear and determined, without any of the fear and self-blame she had before.
Chi Wenyan's heart felt like it was gently bumped by something, and it became completely soft.
He chuckled softly and hugged her tightly again, rubbing his chin against the top of her head, his voice filled with a satisfied sigh: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The man looked out the window. The sky outside had become completely dark and he couldn't see his hand in front of him.
He stretched out his broad palm and gently patted the back of her hand.
"It's getting late, do you want some time to rest?"
Ji Wan nodded and said okay.
