Chapter 40: Quickly Wearing and Falling in Love with the Dark CEO (Twenty-Two)
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" I tried to hold on to my body to make myself look less weak. Lin Yehan held my hand tightly. His hand was icy cold, but it made me feel at ease.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that someone is paying for your lives!" The man smiled sinisterly and waved his hand. Several thugs behind him immediately understood what he meant and came up.
"What do you want to do? I'm warning you, this is a prison, how dare you mess around?" I said calmly, but my voice couldn't help but tremble.
The man ignored my warning and just winked at the thugs behind him. The next second, I felt a sharp pain, my eyes went dark, and I lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I found myself and Lin Yehan locked in a dark and damp basement. Our hands and feet were tied and our bodies were covered with wounds.
"Awake?" A familiar voice sounded. I raised my head with difficulty and saw a man in a black suit standing in front of us with a sinister smile on his face. He was the man who appeared in the prison that night.
"What do you want?" Lin Yehan's voice was hoarse and weak, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want you to experience the feeling of living a life worse than death."
As the man spoke, he pulled out a shiny dagger from his pocket and slashed my face lightly. "I heard that Master Feng is a famous handsome man. I wonder what Mr. Lin's expression would be if I destroyed your face?"
I was so scared that I was shaking all over, but I had no strength to resist. Seeing this, Lin Yehan's eyes were red with anger, and he struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restraints, but was kicked to the ground by the man.
"Ye Han!" I screamed heartbreakingly, my eyes blurred with tears.
The man smiled cruelly, raised the dagger, and stabbed me in the face...
"Stop!" At this critical moment, the door of the basement was suddenly kicked open, and the dazzling sunlight shone in. I subconsciously closed my eyes.
"Who is it?!" The man turned around in panic, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground. I opened my eyes and saw a tall figure standing at the door. I couldn't see his face clearly against the light, but the strong aura emanating from him made me feel very familiar.
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business!" the man shouted cowardly.
The man ignored him and walked straight to us. He knocked the gangster down and untied the ropes on us. I could see clearly that the man was...
"Senior?! Why are you here?" I shouted in surprise.
"Let's not talk about it for now. We have to leave here as soon as possible." Yi Chen helped the weak Lin Yehan up, his tone anxious.
I held Ye Han's arm and staggered to my feet, only then I realized that my body was extremely weak.
"Save him quickly, Ye Han is seriously injured, I'm afraid he can't hold on," I said while crying.
"It's okay, Ziang, we will be fine." Yi Chen comforted me and took us away from this place of trouble.
We followed the senior out of the basement through many twists and turns. There was a black car parked outside. The senior asked us to get in, then stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.
"Brother, what happened? Why were you kidnapped?" Chen Yang asked anxiously.
Senior Yi Chen sighed and said, "Someone is behind this, spreading a lot of rumors about you and Lin Yehan. Now the outside world thinks that you..."
My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately understood what my brother meant. It seemed that someone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to completely overthrow Lin Yehan, and I became their target.
"How is the Lin Group doing now?" Lin Yehan's voice was hoarse and weak, but he still cared about the company's situation.
Yi Chen's face was a little solemn: "It's not very optimistic. Many shareholders have begun to waver, and Lin's stock has been falling..."
I clenched my fists, my heart filled with anger and worry. Who was behind this? What was their purpose?
The car sped along, and my heart was up and down with the scenery outside the car window. Yi Chen's words were like a huge rock, weighing heavily on my heart, making it difficult for me to breathe. The Lin Group, the once glorious business empire, is now in turmoil, and all this is because of me...
After returning home, the first thing I did was to look at my two daughters and confirm that they were safe and sound before turning on the computer. A flood of negative news came into my eyes, with glaring and shocking headlines and exaggerated content, describing Lin Yehan and I as a pair of evil people who had colluded with each other. I closed my eyes helplessly, feeling heartbroken.
"Don't look at it, these are all fake." Lin Yehan's voice rang in my ears, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness.
I opened my eyes and saw his pale face and haggard eyes, which made me feel even worse. I knew that he was under more pressure than I was.
"Who is it? Who is behind this?" I asked through gritted teeth.
Lin Yehan shook his head, his eyes deep and cold: "The mastermind behind this is hiding very deeply, but I think he will be exposed soon."
Just at this moment, Ye Han's cell phone rang. After he answered the call, his face turned extremely ugly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yehan and I asked in unison.
"Lin Yuwei, she...she convened a board meeting and announced that she would serve as acting president of the Lin Group." Ye Han's tone contained a hint of disbelief and anger.
"What?!" I exclaimed in shock. Lin Yuwei, how dare she? !
Lin Yehan's face was extremely gloomy. He stood up suddenly, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes: "It seems that some people can't wait any longer..."
I held Lin Yehan's hand tightly. His hand was icy cold, but it made me feel extremely at ease.
"Don't worry, I won't let her succeed." Lin Yehan's voice was low and firm, as if he was making a promise, or as if he was cheering himself up.
I know that a bigger storm is coming, and Lin Yehan and I are destined to fight side by side and face this storm together. Yi Chen's call was like a life-saving straw, but unfortunately the other party cut it off. Anxiety and worry entangled me like vines.
Lin Yehan seemed to see through my anxiety. He held me in his arms and said in a low voice with a hint of comfort: "Don't worry, they will be fine."
I knew he was trying to comfort me, but my heart felt like it had fallen into a bottomless abyss. Fear and despair almost swallowed me up. Time passed by, and every second seemed like a century.
Suddenly, the ringing of the phone broke the silence in the room. I sat up abruptly and grabbed the phone.
"Hello?" My voice was trembling with nervousness.
"Is this Mr. Feng? I'm Dr. Shen's assistant," a strange male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Dr. Shen asked me to tell you that they... they failed, and now..."
His voice became quieter and quieter until it became an indistinct murmur.
"Hello? Hello! Explain yourself! What failed? What happened between my brother and Shen Yichen?!" I yelled into the phone, my heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, almost suffocating me.
"Beep...beep..." There was a busy tone on the phone, and my phone slipped out of my hand powerlessly. Everything went dark before my eyes...
When I woke up again, I found myself lying on a hospital bed. The pungent smell of disinfectant made me frown. Lin Yehan was sitting beside the bed. His face was pale and his eye sockets were sunken. It was obvious that he had not rested well for several days.
"You're awake?" He saw me wake up, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry. "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"
I shook my head and tried to sit up, but he gently held me down: "Don't move, the doctor said you need to rest well."
"My brother and Shen Yichen...how are they?" I grabbed his hand and asked anxiously, my voice a little hoarse from being hoarse for a long time.
Lin Yehan's expression turned even uglier. He was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly: "They... are missing."
"Missing?!" My heart sank and a chill instantly spread throughout my body.
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open and a man walked in with a cunning smile on his face: "It seems that I came at the right time."
