Chapter 241 The Transaction
Seeing the certainty in his tone, Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes to look at him, trying to discern some clue, but to no avail.
Seeing that this attempt had ended without any resolution, and that they couldn't get any information out of him.
Si Yanxiao had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being. His eyes narrowed slightly as he turned and left, leaving the kidnapper alone in the house.
As Si Yanxiao's figure disappeared around the corner, the kidnapper's expression changed, his eyes revealing a complex and unpredictable shift.
Once this matter is exposed, I have become a pawn to be discarded, and now I can only do my best to prevent those around me from being harmed.
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and his mind was filled with countless thoughts.
Meanwhile, after leaving the detention center, Si Yanxiao drove straight to Bai Zhuwei's apartment to check on her injuries.
As soon as Si Yanxiao left, Bai Zhuwei received a strange call on her phone.
Bai Zhuwei glanced down at the unfamiliar number on her phone, her eyes scanning the screen, her lips pressed tightly together, before she swiped to answer.
Then I heard from the other side that Si Yanxiao went to the detention center to transfer the leader of the kidnappers, but I have no idea what they talked about.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei's expression changed slightly, and a look of understanding flashed across her face.
Upon receiving the message, he immediately hung up the phone.
Then I looked down out the window and saw people coming and going, each busy with their own things. My mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts.
Just as she was caught in a tangled mess of thoughts and her mind was blocked, a sudden knocking sounded at the door. Startled, Bai Zhuwei quickly stepped inside and opened the door.
Si Yanxiao was standing outside the door. Although she had already received the news, Bai Zhuwei pretended not to know and asked in surprise, "Ayan? Why are you here?"
Hearing Bai Zhuwei's question, Si Yanxiao's eyes flickered slightly, and then he explained in a deep voice, "It's nothing, I just came to check on your condition."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei quickly stepped aside, and Si Yanxiao walked in slowly, looking around at the surroundings without saying a word.
After a long pause, he casually asked, "When the kidnappers abducted you, did anything unusual happen?"
When Bai Zhuwei saw Si Yanxiao suddenly bring up the old matter, her heart sank and a bad premonition flashed through her mind. She then replied truthfully in a deep voice, "No."
"I only remember being drugged with sedatives as soon as I got on the bus, and then I don't know anything else."
Hearing her explanation, Si Yanxiao frowned slightly, then asked again, "The kidnappers never mentioned why they abducted you?"
Seeing that Si Yanxiao was staring intently at this matter, as if trying to find a breakthrough through her, Bai Zhuwei pursed her lips and felt a chill run down her spine.
On her face, she showed no sign of it. When she saw Si Yanxiao's gaze fall on her and casually look around, Bai Zhuwei's eyes flashed, and a hint of unease flashed across her face. She pretended to be aggrieved and said, "I was in a daze the whole time. I only vaguely heard something about Vice President Si."
As she spoke, she paused slightly, her brows furrowing, her face full of innocence, before continuing, "Ayan... could this be considered a useful piece of information? Have you heard of this title before?"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression changed drastically, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
The Vice President Si was clearly referring to Si Jiliang. Could it be that he was really involved in this matter as well?
Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao's eyes were full of doubt.
After all, Si Jiliang and Bai Zhuwei had met before and even stood up for Jiang Ran. It's not impossible that they might really want to avenge her.
Based on his limited understanding of him, he remained skeptical.
Although Si Jiliang and he disliked each other and got along extremely badly, he would never stoop to doing such underhanded things, especially not targeting a woman!
However, Bai Zhuwei pointed out that hearing such a name was definitely not unfounded, and the clues instantly returned to Si Jiliang. Si Yanxiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.
Bai Zhuwei carefully observed Si Yanxiao's expression, her eyes revealing an unreadable meaning. Having learned of the news beforehand, she had moved up her plan and pointed the finger at Si Jiliang.
To everyone's surprise, although Si Yanxiao's thoughts were unclear, he did not show the furious expression that one would expect.
Si Yanxiao pondered for a long time, still unable to understand the meaning behind Si Jiliang's actions. Whether the kidnappers deliberately mentioned his name to frame him, or whether it was really the work of someone behind him, remained unknown at this moment.
After finishing her thoughts, she looked down and met Bai Zhuwei's gaze. Upon seeing this, Bai Zhuwei hurriedly looked away and concealed the emotions in her eyes.
Then he looked up at Si Yanxiao again and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Any clues?"
Si Yanxiao hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "It's not clear yet. Don't worry, I'll check."
When Bai Zhuwei saw him deny it directly, a hint of surprise flashed through her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
Then he replied directly, "Okay."
Si Yanxiao's actions were clearly unexpected, and as things gradually went off track, Bai Zhuwei couldn't help but feel a pang of unease.
Her lips pursed slightly, a strange glint flashing in her eyes. She slowly approached Si Yanxiao, a delicate fragility on her face, and whispered, "Ayan, I'm really worried that this will happen again..."
As she spoke, she gradually leaned closer to Si Yanxiao.
In the past, Si Yanxiao would have simply pulled her into his arms and gently comforted her.
Unexpectedly, she dodged to the side this time, and Bai Zhuwei's body stiffened instantly. Si Yanxiao was momentarily lost in thought, and after he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that he had been too obvious.
He then pursed his lips slightly, touched the tip of his nose lightly to ease the awkwardness, and said in a deep voice, "It's alright, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Don't overthink it. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Having said that, he turned and left without even looking at Bai Zhuwei's expression.
Bai Zhuwei was surprised that he would leave so abruptly. She stared blankly at his departing figure until he disappeared from her sight.
He was furious, his brows furrowed, and he overturned everything on the table, his face suddenly turning sinister.
Si Yanxiao had never treated her with such indifference before. His current attitude must be because Jiang Ran had said something behind her back.
He was even more convinced that this matter was definitely related to Jiang Ran!
Her eyes narrowed, and a malicious intent arose in her heart. She picked up her car keys and drove to Si Jiliang's residence.
At the same time, Si Jiliang was handling official business at the villa when the doorbell suddenly rang. Si Jiliang casually tapped the screen to answer, and the scene outside the door appeared on the screen.
Bai Zhuwei stood outside the door with her eyes lowered.
Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed across Si Jiliang's face. Why was she here?!
And they even went to the trouble of finding a villa?!
A sense of surprise flashed through her mind, and she frowned slightly, but she still got up and went outside the courtyard.
The two men stared at each other across the door. Si Jiliang's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"
Bai Zhuwei sensed the hostility in his words, pursed her lips slightly, pointed to the door, and raised an eyebrow: "If you have something to discuss, won't you invite me in?"
Si Jiliang had no liking for her and originally wanted to refuse her, but he couldn't resist wanting to know what she was really up to.
His gaze sharpened slightly as he opened the door and walked straight into the hall.
Seeing his cold expression, Bai Zhuwei didn't care and followed closely behind him.
Si Jiliang sat down in the main seat of the sofa without saying a word, completely ignoring her, and asked coldly, "Speak, what kind of deal are we talking about?"
Seeing that he did nothing, Bai Zhuwei didn't care and sat down to the side, slowly saying, "You have feelings for Jiang Ran, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jiliang's expression suddenly turned cold, and Bai Zhuwei realized that her words had clearly struck a chord with him.
Then Fu spoke again, coldly saying, "You don't need to explain. Anyone with eyes can see this clearly."
Hearing the certainty in her words, Si Jiliang pursed his lips, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
He thought he had handled his feelings very well, so how could she have seen right through him?!
"In that case, why don't we make a deal?!"
