Zhou Chenglai hung up the phone with a smile, not knowing what Zhou Yancheng said.
"Sister-in-law, Zhou Yancheng is on his way back. Shall we wait for him together?"
Since we're already in a predicament, the most important thing is not to provoke the other party.
Jiang Tian remained absolutely calm and nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Chenglai squinted at Jiang Tian, "Why would Zhou Yancheng like you? I remember you're nine years older than him? His taste is really questionable."
Jiang Tian pretended not to hear.
Zhou Chenglai, on the contrary, became interested and leaned closer to examine Jiang Tian closely.
Jiang Tian was wearing nothing more than an ordinary short-sleeved shirt and jeans, but her figure was graceful. She was being tied up, and her waist looked so slender that it could not be encircled by a single hand. Her wrists were bound with red marks, creating a stark contrast between white and red.
Her collarbones are delicate, and moving further down, "her figure is indeed quite good."
Zhou Chenglai pinched Jiang Tian's chin, the smooth touch making him even more interested: "Your face is barely satisfactory."
Jiang Tian's gaze did not intimidate Zhou Chenglai.
“Zhou Yancheng is always calm and composed. Before he left, he even asked someone to take good care of you. But he didn’t know that if I wanted to capture you, even if you hid obediently, I could still have someone break down the door. I have plenty of plans in hand.”
Zhou Chenglai spoke casually, his tone revealing a deep sense of pride.
He didn't loosen his grip; instead, his laughter grew even more unrestrained, forcing Jiang Tian's gaze to his face. Zhou Chenglai said calmly, "After Zhou Yancheng falls, you can come with me. I've discovered I'm quite interested in you. If an older brother doesn't help his younger brother with his woman, he'll be acting like a very unbrotherly man."
Jiang Tian remained silent.
She remained silent, and Zhou Chenglai was not angry.
His gaze remained fixed on Jiang Tian, as if looking at her gave him a great deal of pleasure.
Jiang Tian didn't look at him. It was very late at night. She moved her body with all her might, leaned against the sofa, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.
Zhou Chenglai raised an eyebrow, his smile widening.
It's unclear how long Jiang Tian had been asleep, but she was woken up when one of her subordinates rushed in.
"Boss, Zhou Yancheng is outside!"
Zhou Chenglai raised an eyebrow: "Then let's go meet my younger brother."
With a single glance, Jiang Tian was pulled up.
A group of people walked out together.
Zhou Yancheng had obvious dark circles under his eyes. The first thing he saw was Jiang Tian. Her hands were tightly bound, and her skin was fair and tender. It was obvious to the naked eye that her wrists were injured.
His expression instantly turned cold and stern.
"Zhou Yancheng, you're in such a hurry to find your wife, it seems she's very important to you."
Zhou Yancheng didn't say anything.
He raised his hand expressionlessly.
The next second, a group of people appeared out of nowhere and instantly engaged in a fierce battle with Zhou Chenglai's men!
The men he brought were absolute experts, and they were even stronger than Zhou Chenglai's men.
Zhou Chenglai's expression changed slightly, but seeing that Jiang Tian was still properly tied up, he remained relatively calm.
He said to the person holding Jiang Tian, "Bring her to my side."
The man replied respectfully, "Yes."
Immediately, Zhou Chenglai watched as his subordinate walked towards Zhou Yancheng.
His pupils suddenly widened!
Zhou Yancheng quickened his pace and embraced Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian nestled into his arms and smiled, "Didn't I embarrass you?"
Zhou Yancheng gritted his teeth: "I'll settle the score with you when we get back."
Even the slow-witted Zhou Chenglai realized something was wrong: "What exactly is going on?"
Zhou Yancheng clearly didn't want to talk to him anymore.
He gestured to his men, and soon after, Zhou Chenglai, who was still furious, was arrested.
Zhou Yancheng put his arm around Jiang Tian and got into the car to go back.
On the way, Zhou Yancheng didn't say a word, his face was very tense, and he held Jiang Tian tightly with his arm around her.
"What? Are you angry? I behaved well this time. If you're angry, then there's no justice in the world."
Zhou Yancheng took a deep breath, exhaled, and hugged her tightly again.
"...Don't do that again."
The day after Zhou Yancheng arrived there, the person he had contacted to handle Jiang Tian's safety was discovered by her.
She's been drawing a mystery/detective story lately. The character is a bodyguard with limited investigative skills, so finding him wouldn't be too difficult.
Thus, Zhou Yancheng's true purpose was exposed.
Knowing that she was a big target, Jiang Tian and Zhou Yancheng made a secret signal to each other.
If, by some unforeseen circumstance, she can't escape, she will give it to Zhou Yancheng.
Make a phone call, then hang up.
The phone had a shortcut key set up, and after meeting that person, Jiang Tian quickly pressed it, allowing Zhou Yancheng to know her whereabouts in advance.
With Jiang Tian's permission, he installed a chip in her phone that could locate her position in real time.
Fortunately, Zhou Chenglai was never very smart. When cornered, he tried to threaten him with Jiang Tian, and he even chose the Zhou family's old house as the location.
There are people from Zhou Yancheng among them.
Jiang Tian has already been arrested, and they had made prior arrangements, so Zhou Yancheng must seize the initiative.
During the brief respite before his arrival, while Zhou Chenglai was at the old house, Zhou Yancheng decisively eliminated his last remaining support.
His subordinate kept reporting Jiang Tian's situation to him in real time, and Zhou Yancheng's heart was never at ease the whole way.
He only relaxed when he actually saw Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian could tell that Zhou Yancheng was still angry, so she obediently let him hold her.
Zhou Yancheng didn't say a word until he got home.
He knew the fault didn't lie with Jiang Tian. Last night's situation was complicated: first, Chen Fenglie suddenly caused trouble; second, there were elderly people in high-risk conditions upstairs who were easily disturbed by the noise; and third, he hadn't sent enough bodyguards.
Although Jiang Tian openly discovered one, there were actually several more in secret.
During the journey, his informant told him that Zhou Chenglai had learned that Zhou Yancheng had been putting on an act all along, and had not only sent a group of his men but also bribed a desperate criminal to set fire to a house.
If you burn the house down, the people will naturally escape.
As for who might be burned to death, Zhou Chenglai didn't care at all.
He overestimated Zhou Chenglai's humanity.
As Zhou Yancheng applied the medicine to Jiang Tian with his lips pursed, the more he imagined that scenario, the more guilty he felt.
"Alright, if you keep making that deadpan face, I'll make you the villain in my painting."
Jiang Tian finally lost her patience.
Zhou Yancheng's eyes were filled with complex emotions: "I will protect you from now on."
Jiang Tian: "..."
What should I do if I have a boyfriend who is easily sentimental?
She solemnly grasped Zhou Yancheng's hand in return: "Since you feel so guilty, why don't we find a way to vent our emotions together?"
Zhou Yancheng didn't understand what she meant: "What?"
Three minutes later, the two arrived at the supermarket.
Jiang Tian picked up something and asked Zhou Yancheng, "Is this size suitable?"
Zhou Yancheng was tricked by Jiang Tian into buying something, but he never expected it to be this kind of thing.
His voice became a little hoarse: "...It's a bit small."
