"I know."
Chi Zhan asked, "If Sun Kai has a relationship with the Valin family, then if you capture his wife and children, will he let you come back?"
Zhou Fang smiled, "So this is the condition he proposed."
"What I'm more curious about is how he blew up the place where I locked up Lu Shiyan."
The place was abandoned and almost no one knew that he was holding people there.
At that time, Sun Kai gave up Su Wanyu for the sake of Shen family's property and fled abroad.
Where is the time to arrange this?
For some reason, he felt that a rat in the gutter like Lu Shiyan would not die easily.
"I'm still investigating this. Lu Shiyan definitely didn't make it. This factory is in ruins. The people you assigned to guard it didn't survive, and he's still being held captive. Unless he's a god, and his human tissue was found and DNA tested."
Zhou Fang put his suspicion aside for the moment and said, "You have to come."
"I promised Ruan that I would come home during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Otherwise, she would definitely come here without caring about anything."
Chi Zhan agreed, "I will take Su Wanyu and Shen Xingyu with me."
He couldn't help but tease her. After all, there weren't many times when he could see Zhou Fang in such a miserable state.
"How does it feel to be a hostage?"
Zhou Fang was very brave. How could someone who was not even recognized by his parents be hurt in such a childish way?
"It's not bad. There's wine and meat, and a bunch of people to relax with."
“…”
…
In order to divert my attention, Jiang Lai took me out shopping to find inspiration for designing a dress.
I didn't want to go out at first, but I couldn't resist her nagging.
Just as I was changing my clothes, Zhou Fang called me via video.
I quickly pressed the answer button.
Looking at Zhou Fang's familiar handsome face, my eyes became sore.
Zhou Fang sensed my emotions, stood up and turned around, his handsome face magnified on the phone, but there was no flaw at all.
With his usual casualness and evilness.
"Are you relieved now?"
I was worried, "Take off your clothes."
“…”
Zhou Fang smiled and raised his eyebrows at me, "Do you have any inappropriate thoughts about me?"
I didn't react for a moment, then I heard him say, "They say that during pregnancy, there's a hormone imbalance. Now I believe it."
“…”
"Don't worry, I've checked with the doctor, and to be on the safe side, I recommend waiting three months and then just being patient."
I really wanted to crawl into the screen and kick him. I gave him a sidelong glance and gritted my teeth, "You're hiding something from me, so you're deliberately changing the subject."
Zhou Fang touched his nose and finally admitted, "I did run into some trouble."
I tensed up, "What's the trouble?"
Zhou Fang sat for a while, "Sun Kai."
"Sun Kai." I asked in confusion, "Weren't you dealing with him all along?"
"Yes, he ran away from home. I came here to discuss something and happened to run into him."
"A powerful dragon can't defeat a local snake. He wants me to release Su Wanyu and Shen Xingyu."
My breath hitched, "So you're trapped over there?"
"Are you hurt?"
Sun Kai is a gangster.
Zhou Fang patted my face through the screen. "I'm not being mean. I didn't tell you before just because I didn't want you to worry. Chi Zhan will be here with his men soon. I will definitely show up in front of you during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Believe me, okay?"
I curled my lips and was about to complain when I heard Jiang Lai calling me.
"Ruan Ruan."
I looked up and saw her lying by the door, feeling particularly terrified.
"Are you talking to Mr. Zhou on the phone?"
"I seem to have heard Chi Zhan's name."
“…”
I knew what she was thinking, so I subconsciously hung up the video and stopped Jiang Lai who was about to turn around and walk out.
"No, you don't need this one chance. Why would you go there knowing there's danger?"
Jiang Lai lifted her hair and booked a flight on her phone while saying, "Since you're worried about Zhou Fang, I'll go check on her for you."
I don't really need it.
I admit that I was worried about Zhou Fang, but I couldn't let my friend fall into danger.
"you……"
As I was speaking, a video invitation popped up on my phone, interrupting me.
Seeing it was Zhou Fang calling, I picked up the phone and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Fang repeated my words extremely slowly.
Then I remembered, "I didn't hang up on purpose. Jiang Lai wanted to go to your place with Chi Zhan, and I was anxious to stop her."
Zhou Fang's voice deepened when he heard this, "Don't let her come."
Without waiting for me to speak, Jiang Lai said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm an adult..."
Before she could finish her words, Zhou Fang suddenly hung up the video, and I sent her a question mark.
He replied: [Someone will stop her, don’t worry about it.]
I replied: [I understand. I’ll wait for you to come back.]
With Zhou Fang's words, I watched Jiang Lai leave.
There's no point in getting anxious right now, and I still feel a little uncomfortable in my lower abdomen.
I guess he was worried about making trouble.
I was getting anxious waiting at home, so I went to the hospital for a check-up, but I didn't expect to run into Mr. Zhang.
"Not feeling well?"
I said truthfully: "My lower abdomen feels a little uncomfortable, let me take a look."
Mr. Zhang took me to a consultation room and took my pulse.
"Not feeling well?"
I nodded. "Zhou Fang went abroad and had some accidents. I'm a little worried."
Elder Zhang withdrew his hand and prescribed medicine for me. "You still need to adjust your mood and stop worrying too much. Last time, you almost lost the child. You have to be careful."
I think so too, but I have no way to control it.
Children are important.
The child’s father is also important.
Master Zhang saw what I was thinking and said, "I know it's not going to be easy. Take some medicine to keep the baby safe first."
He asked casually, "Did Zhou Fang say when he would be back?"
I replied: "I will be back during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Zhang Lao nodded, "Then take it for two days. Stop the medicine when he comes back. Call me if you have any problems."
I stood up and said, "Thank you."
Mr. Zhang: "You don't have to be so polite with me."
I thanked Mr. Zhang again and left the hospital. I didn't know when it started raining outside.
With a bodyguard holding an umbrella, not a single drop of rain got on me.
When I returned to Lijingyuan, I saw a drowned rat soaked from head to toe.
"Why didn't you hide from the rain? Why didn't you call me?"
I walked over quickly and pulled her into the bathroom.
"Take a hot shower first. It's not summer anymore. Every autumn rain brings a chill."
I made some ginger soup while she was taking a shower.
After taking a shower, Jiang Lai came to the kitchen to find me with wet long hair. She hugged me and looked aggrieved.
"Ruan Ruan, from now on, even if I, Jiang Lai, chase a dog, I will not chase Chi Zhan."
“…”
When Zhou Fang said that, I only thought about preventing Jiang Lai from going abroad.
But I didn't expect this to be the result.
I rubbed her head and asked, "What did he do to you?"
Jiang Lai rubbed my shoulder and said, "Anyway, he didn't say a single word worth listening to."
"For the sake of prenatal education, I won't tell you."
When she said that, I was even more surprised.
"I don't think my child will be corrupted by just a few words."
Jiang Lai let me go, her eyes dim, "You're just gossiping."
“…”
I laughed, "Then tell me."
Jiang Lai leaned against the door frame, her long eyelashes drooping, casting a small shadow under her eyes.
This is the first time I've seen her look so sad.
"Forget it. I don't want to hear it anymore."
Looking at this, you can tell that Chi Zhan must have said something hurtful, and asking her to say it again herself is so heartbreaking.
"Drink ginger soup."
Jiang Lai took it and sipped it. Seeing me pick up the medicine pot, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." I told him about going to the hospital and meeting Mr. Zhang. "There's nothing I can do. I can't control it myself. I can only take medicine."
Jiang Lai poked my forehead and said, "I told you I'd go over and help you, but you weren't willing to do it. You even teamed up with Zhou Fang to let Chi Zhan break my heart."
I apologized. "I'm really just worried about your safety. Zhou Fang was trapped, so why not you?"
"I've never seen Zhou Fangju compromise before."
Jiang Lai disagreed, "You're absolutely right. If someone threatened him with you, he wouldn't even think twice and would surrender."
"Even if he gets on his knees, that's fine."
I really didn't know what to say. "I'm thinking about you."
"Yes, you're right. He'd do anything for me. Anyway, now I only have to worry about him. If you go, I'll have to worry about both you and him."
"Then my medicine may not be of any use."
Jiang Lai was silent. After finishing the ginger soup, he spoke again: "Forget it. I'm not pursuing you anymore. Whatever you want."
"Just be kind, otherwise Zhou Fang will come back and see you're not kind anymore and tear me apart."
I said, "Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let him tear you apart."
…
As soon as Chi Zhan landed and turned off the airplane mode, his phone started to receive a bunch of work calls and messages.
There was also news that Zhou Fang asked whether it had landed.
However, the person who usually wanted to send hundreds of messages a day didn't send a single one.
He replied to Zhou Fang, put away his phone with a calm expression, and went to the hotel where Zhou Fang was staying.
When Chi Zhan came in, Zhou Fang received a WeChat message from Ruan Nanzhi.
The tip of his eyebrow twitched slightly.
He looked at Chi Zhan and said, "It's been a hard journey."
Chi Zhan sat down beside him, picked up the wine on the coffee table, and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Fang mocked him mercilessly, "I asked you to stop them, but why did you stop them from going their separate ways?"
Chi Zhan unbuttoned his shirt, but still felt stuffy.
"I came all the way here to save you, and this is how you treat your savior?"
Zhou Fang spread his hands and said, "What about me? Didn't I pour a glass of wine to welcome you?"
Chi Zhan leaned back on the sofa, raised his head and closed his eyes, looking like he was refusing to communicate.
Zhou Fang raised his leg and kicked him. "If you don't like it, then we can go our separate ways."
"So that you don't have to hook her and I won't be affected later."
Chi Zhan opened his eyes, "When did I say I didn't like it..."
He caught the mockery in Zhou Fang's eyes and shut up.
He rubbed his brows and said, "Don't gloat over other people's misfortunes."
Zhou Fang patted his shoulder vigorously. "That's not important. What's important is the bet on who gets married first. With all you've done today, you've definitely lost."
Chi Zhan was also angry: "Who am I doing this for?"
"You really don't know people's hearts."
Zhou Fang clicked his tongue, "Who could it be for?"
"Isn't it because I'm afraid someone will follow me and get into danger?"
"Yes, how can you call her a dog?"
"How rude."
Chi Zhan: "..."
I really don't want to save him.
