Chapter 107 Chapter 107 [This chapter has been overhauled]
A long time ago, Shen Xingchuan had hesitated for a moment about whether to let Yao Yingxia go, but after she went to study at S University and the two of them had been apart for a long time, Shen Xingchuan finally realized that he could not accept that he would never see Yao Yingxia again.
Of course, satisfying himself was more important than fulfilling his wife's wish. Shen Xingchuan admitted that he was selfish, despicable, and a bastard, but the law of the jungle was the law of survival in this world. Why would he let himself be wronged?
In this long, suffocating embrace, Yao Yingxia finally accepted her fate. The worst had already happened. She rarely gave in to fear, but calmly asked, "How are you going to deal with me this time?"
Although he always did this, this time he felt more hurt than angry. He hadn't expected Yao Yingxia to tease him like this, and he had easily fallen into the gentle trap she had woven.
Apart from this, there was no other loss. After all, Yao Yingxia didn't have time to run away. It was not the first day that she knew she wanted to leave, and the punishment had just ended.
In the end, Shen Xingchuan simply said, "As long as you completely give up the thought, I won't do anything."
He returned the backup phone to Yao Yingxia: "Send a message to Shen Qingyuan now, telling him that the plan is terminated and you don't want to leave."
She was still in shock from the horrific experience just now and didn't want to drag others into it. In the end, she unzipped her phone under Shen Xingchuan's gaze and sent the message as he instructed.
Aside from this latest message, the chat page was completely blank. Yao Yingxia would immediately delete the messages from her phone after each conversation, as restoring them would take time. She was incredibly thankful that Nie Yuan hadn't revealed anything, as otherwise, who knows how many people would have been implicated.
Shen Xingchuan quickly took away the backup phone: "Go and rest."
Yao Yingxia returned to her bed and watched him call his assistant before someone came and took the spare phone. The door opened and closed, and several bodyguards were already stationed outside, preventing any possibility of her escape.
After arranging all these things, Shen Xingchuan's gaze finally fell on her again. Yao Yingxia curled up her legs and hugged herself, shrinking into a small ball, like a snail in danger, trying desperately to return to its not-so-hard shell.
Shen Xingchuan sighed silently. He was the one who was plotted against, but Yao Yingxia looked even sadder.
Now that she had no relatives, Shen Xingchuan really didn't want to push her any further. He put Yao Yingxia on the pillow and patted her back: "Go to sleep."
Yao Yingxia closed her eyes and asked in bewilderment, "Am I going to live under surveillance forever?"
"I never spied on you before I found out about your affair with Xiao An."
"He saved my life."
"I know, so no matter how angry I was, I never touched him."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Shen Xingchuan had never imagined that one day he would be able to talk to Yao Yingxia about these things so calmly. He reiterated his point: "Xia Xia, rebuilding trust is difficult, but not impossible."
Shen Xingchuan stopped there, but Yao Yingxia knew what he meant. She would have to endure this pervasive surveillance for a long time to come unless she was willing to make changes or completely accept her fate.
In fact, Yao Yingxia had already accepted her fate. What else could she do if she didn't accept it? She couldn't kill Shen Xingchuan.
After a night of sleepless sleep, Yao Yingxia was exhausted by nightmares and did not wake up until noon the next day.
After lunch at the hotel, the assistant came over to report, "Mr. Shen, everyone's documents have been reissued and they need to be collected in person on site."
Ten minutes later, a group of eight people, along with several newly hired bodyguards, came downstairs. The security company even provided an extended bulletproof car and four off-road vehicles.
After driving to the consulate in a grand procession, they obtained their documents very smoothly, and Shen Xingchuan's assistant had already booked a flight back home that afternoon.
The weather in France in August is pleasant, and the exquisite classical buildings look even more beautiful on sunny days. One can vaguely glimpse their past glory, but this place is too unfamiliar and is not her home after all.
Shen Xingchuan patted her shoulder and said, "It's time to go back."
Although he had added more manpower and cancelled all subsequent itineraries, Shen Xingchuan could not let his guard down as long as he had not crossed the border.
When the car was driving back, something happened on the main road and it was completely blocked. We only moved a few hundred meters in half an hour.
Before reaching the next intersection, the newly hired local bodyguard and driver asked in broken English: "Mr. Shen, do you want to turn right ahead? Although it will be a bit of a detour, there shouldn't be any traffic jams."
Shen Xingchuan glanced at his watch and agreed to the proposal.
The car gradually drove out of the bustling area, and as expected, the road was smooth. Shen Xingchuan closed his eyes and rested for a while. He hadn't slept since last night and was really tired.
The bulletproof car has a heavy body and drives more smoothly than ordinary vehicles. Even the sound insulation effect is surprisingly good. Shen Xingchuan fell asleep unknowingly.
Until the bodyguard sitting in the back seat patted his shoulder silently and reminded him softly: "Mr. Shen, something is wrong. The car has been driving for half an hour. It should have arrived long ago."
Shen Xingchuan opened his eyes almost immediately. He opened the map on his phone and found that his current location had already deviated from the prosperous area where they lived and was heading towards the suburbs.
Shen Xingchuan really didn't expect that the people from the security company would be bribed in advance. He picked up his phone to call the police, only to find that there was no signal in this ghost place.
Fell into a trap.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he began to think quickly about how to deal with the situation. The current situation was obviously very bad. The control of the vehicle was in the hands of the other party. There was no one living nearby. They were not familiar with the road conditions. There were two off-road vehicles in front and behind them, respectively, which trapped them in the middle.
The only thing to be thankful for was that all the bodyguards he brought from China were in the car, and except for the driver, they were all his own people.
Shen Xingchuan reached his hand to the back seat, and the female bodyguard took off the metal hairpin on her head and handed it to him. After seeing a fork in the road ahead, Shen Xingchuan quickly grabbed the driver's neck.
The sharp hairpin dug into the flesh, pointing straight to the throat, and the steering wheel was firmly controlled by the passenger seat.
Shen Xingchuan warned in French: "Turn left ahead and try to get rid of the people behind you."
The other party ignored his threat and slammed on the brakes. Everyone was caught off guard by inertia. The driver covered his bleeding neck, opened the door and jumped out. The car stopped by a sparsely populated lake.
The bodyguard in the passenger seat quickly jumped into the driver's seat and tried to control the car, but he couldn't start it. Several SUVs were also approaching quickly, blocking them completely.
Shen Xingchuan rarely finds himself in such a helpless situation. His bodyguards nervously observe the surrounding situation and see those tall and strong locals getting out of the car and gradually approaching, all holding guns in their hands.
There were even a few familiar faces among them. They were the group of people who kidnapped Yao Yingxia and demanded money and property on the day they landed in Paris.
Someone in the car asked nervously, "Mr. Shen, what should we do next?" No matter how powerful they were, they could not withstand a single bullet, not to mention that the other side had a large number of people, five times their number.
Shen Xingchuan didn't answer the question, but just looked at Yao Yingxia deeply: "Is this the surprise you prepared for me?"
All the unreasonable things that happened before now have a final answer.
After landing in France, they encountered robbery and theft one after another. These were all intentional acts by the other party. They knew that Shen Xingchuan was suspicious and cautious by nature, so they led him to realize that something was wrong and then hired more people to ensure the safety of themselves and Yao Yingxia.
This tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was played to perfection. In a sense, Shen Qingyuan really knew his uncle very well, and Nie Yuan also knew his former employer well enough.
The cold, venomous tone of his voice frightened Yao Yingxia to silence. His poisonous eyes seemed to pierce through her. Shen Xingchuan grasped her slender wrist and gently stroked her face, "Xia Xia, you won't leave me, right?"
Even though the tone was extremely gentle, she had no doubt that Shen Xingchuan had murderous intentions. But now the situation had reversed, and there was only alienation in Yao Yingxia's eyes, and of course she would not make any more promises to him.
Someone tapped the glass with a gun, then easily opened the locked car door. Red Hair's bruised face broke into a brilliant smile, and he uttered something in French like "Everything changes with time." Shen Xingchuan's expression immediately darkened.
With more than a dozen guns pointed at them, everyone was forced to get out of the car, and Yao Yingxia was led to the other side alone.
She saw Shen Qingyuan standing outside the crowd, with a firm expression and gentle eyes. The sunlight made his white shirt sparkle, just like the young man waiting outside the examination room many years ago.
Yao Yingxia quickened her pace and rushed over. The cold gaze behind her was really tormenting. She urgently needed to go to a place where she could breathe freely.
But before she reached Shen Qingyuan, she heard a muffled sound behind her, followed by a shrill scream.
The atmosphere instantly became tense, and everyone loaded their guns and raised them. Yao Yingxia had to stop and look back.
Red Hair was lying on the ground in pain, holding his stomach and rolling around. He suspected that at least three of his ribs were broken, and the gun in his hand was transferred to Shen Xingchuan's hand.
On this day, he happened to be wearing a black shirt, and he and Shen Qingyuan were at two extremes: one was a knight who came to save her, and the other was a demon who wanted to take her to hell.
Yao Yingxia had never seen him so indifferent. His eyes, which always seemed careless, now fell completely into the eternal night, which was frightening.
Shen Xingchuan raised his arm and pointed the black muzzle of the gun at her. The laser emitted from the sight fell on Yao Yingxia's eyebrows, finally bringing a hint of color to her pale face.
Yao Yingxia could even feel a slight burning sensation on the skin that was targeted, but she was not as panicked as she had imagined.
Almost everyone was exclaiming. She heard someone shouting, "Mr. Shen, don't be impulsive," and also heard someone shouting in French that she couldn't understand.
Amidst the noise, Yao Yingxia clearly heard Shen Xingchuan's voice. He said, "Xia Xia, come back."
