The female lead begins to exert her strength.
Long Chen had a falling out with his father, and the Long family's bodyguard company no longer obeyed Long Chen's orders. Long Chen had no choice but to ask Su Jibai to help protect Liu Xirou and her family.
He feared that Long Lingtian might one day suddenly turn against Liu Xirou's family.
The way Long Lingtian treated Long Aotian was truly astonishing. Wen Yan looked at the numerous wounds on Long Aotian's body and scorned Long Lingtian.
Of course, they greeted the Long family politely before leaving when saying goodbye.
Setting down his teacup, Long Lingtian watched the two figures disappear, the smile in his eyes gradually fading.
When Wen Yan and Su Jibai returned to the car, they saw that Liu Xirou looked listless and offered her a few words of comfort.
Su Jibai's home was the closest to here. After taking Su Jibai home, Liu Xirou suddenly said, "Ayan, even if you didn't say it, I could guess how Achen is doing now."
"Actually, the moment I heard A-Chen's voice, I knew he was in a bad state." Long Chen's voice was all too familiar to Liu Xirou, and it was easy for her to discern his condition from his voice.
Liu Xirou was downcast, her eyes dim. "If he were alright, he would definitely talk to me for a long time, but the less he talks, the more uneasy I feel."
“I know you and Su didn’t tell me because you didn’t want me to overthink it, but I still want to know what happened that kept him locked up at home for so long,” Liu Xirou said firmly, grasping Wen Yan’s hand.
After thinking about it, Wen Yan decided to tell her.
After listening, Liu Xirou clenched her hands tightly, her chest heaving, and an unprecedented emotion appeared in her eyes—anger.
Wen Yan had seen Liu Xirou's happy, sad, or sorrowful expressions, but this was the first time he had seen anger in her eyes.
Upon learning that her family members were in mortal danger and her boyfriend was injured, it would be impossible for anyone to remain calm; even the most good-tempered person would have moments of losing their temper.
"Xirou, don't worry too much. Su Jibai has also sent bodyguards to protect your uncle and aunt. If anything goes wrong, they will stop it immediately," Wen Yan said, looking at Liu Xirou's tense face.
Liu Xirou took a few deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down, "Okay, then I'll go first, bye-bye."
The car had already arrived at the dormitory building. Wenyan said goodbye to her, "Bye-bye."
Thinking of her brother who had ventured into Y country alone, and then looking at the Liu family of three shrouded in the threat of death, Wen Yan sighed deeply, "What kind of mess is this?"
As if things weren't going to go wrong, after a few days of calm, Wenyan received another piece of bad news.
The seat next to him was empty. After Wen Yan looked around anxiously for the nth time, and kept poking the white paper with the tip of his pen, he put down his pen and walked out of the classroom.
In the stairwell, he kept dialing Liu Xirou's number, but no one answered.
Wen Yan had no choice but to go to the office to ask the teacher if Liu Xirou had asked for leave. The homeroom teacher was completely confused, then said in a panic, "Liu Xirou hasn't come to school yet?"
Wen Yan asked in confusion, "Hasn't she always lived in the student dormitory?"
The homeroom teacher explained, "She said yesterday that she wanted to go out for a walk and watch the fireworks, so she asked me for leave to stay out overnight."
"What?" Wen Yan became increasingly panicked. He went straight out of the office, intending to find Liu Xirou.
I ran into Su Jibai downstairs. He said, "Liu Xirou was stabbed this morning on her way back to school."
Wen Yan became even more anxious: "Wasn't she secretly protected by bodyguards? How could this happen?"
Su Jibai frowned and said, "She was slashed with a knife by someone when she turned the corner. The bodyguard was some distance away from her."
Wenyan asked, "Is there surveillance footage?"
Su Jibai: "We're still adjusting. That's a blind spot, so we might not be able to get a shot of that person."
At the hospital, just as Wen Yan was about to head to the emergency room, Liu Xirou came out. She looked somewhat weak, and her left hand was wrapped in white gauze.
Wen Yan asked worriedly, "Xi Rou, how is your hand?"
Liu Xirou smiled and said, "It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious. The doctor said I won't need to wear bandages anymore in a few days."
Wen Yan trembled with anger and said directly, "Long Lingtian is too shameless! Long Chen refused to compromise, so he actually attacked the juniors. How could he be..."
Su Jibai covered his mouth; if he didn't stop him, Wen Yan would probably become the center of attention.
Liu Xirou lowered her eyes, "It might not be Uncle Long who did it."
Wen Yan disagreed and muttered to herself for a while longer.
That afternoon, he took Su Jibai to the Long family. Long Lingtian smiled and refused to admit it, while also implying that Liu Xirou had many enemies.
After leaving the Long family's house, Wen Yan was furious. "What does he mean by this? How many enemies does Xi Rou have? Besides the two guys who had a crush on her before and harmed her... oh, and that guy surnamed Ji, there are only three, right? How many?"
Su Jibai seemed to have thought of something, glanced at Wen Yan, and after much deliberation, decided not to say anything.
Wen Yan hooked her arm around Su Jibai's neck, "Just say what you have to say!"
Su Jibai wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so he gently tapped him with his finger.
"Holy crap!" Wen Yan exploded again. "What does that mean?! Does he mean I did it? Doesn't he feel guilty saying that?!"
After Ren Wenyan finished scolding him, Su Jibai patted his head and said, "Alright, alright, don't be angry. Your eyes are bulging out."
Wen Yan slapped him, her eyes widening even more, "Can't you speak properly?"
Su Jibai smiled and gently stroked his eyes with his finger. "Let's go back."
Su Jibai's fingers were cool and felt comfortable against my eyelids. Wen Yan then pulled his hand and pressed it against her eyelids, which made her feel much better.
Two figures were locked in combat on the boxing ring. One was slender and quick, launching a series of fierce attacks, while the other was strong and agile, dodging a barrage of punches.
While dodging, Lin Jiapeng said, "Your punches were pretty fast today. Are you upset?"
Wen Yan pursed his lips and continued his attack until Lin Jiapeng, who couldn't dodge in time, was tackled and thrown to the ground, at which point he stopped.
Lin Jiapeng lay on the mat and said lazily, "Not bad, you're getting stronger and stronger, and you're moving faster too."
Wen Yan took off her headgear, exhaled, and remained silent.
“Hey,” Lin Jiapeng stared at him, “Is it because Long Chen is locked up at home that you’re upset?”
That's not all; his brother still hasn't returned to China, and that's what worries him the most.
Wen Yan nodded and said calmly, "How did you know?"
Lin Jiapeng laughed, "This matter has been widely known for a long time. Now everyone in the industry knows that Young Master Long fell in love with an unknown girl, and his father cruelly broke them up."
“Long Chen has been locked up by his father for almost a week. He’s a tough guy. I couldn’t stand it either. Being locked up at home and unable to do anything would be worse than death.” Lin Jiapeng shook his head helplessly.
Wen Yan asked, "Aren't there any examples of young masters and ladies from these families marrying ordinary people?"
Lin Jiapeng thought for a moment, "There are some, but there are very few. You can count them on your fingers. Most of them don't end well. Apart from those who divorced or died young, there's only one couple left."
“However,” Lin Jiapeng’s eyes lit up as if he had just thought of something, “Long Chen’s great-grandmother was just an ordinary person.”
Wen Yan was even more puzzled, "Since there are precedents in our family, why does Uncle Long still oppose Long Chen and Xi Rou?"
“Hmm,” Lin Jiapeng thought seriously for a moment, “It’s probably because Long Chen’s great-grandfather was targeted in every way because he and his great-grandmother were in love. He was almost kicked out of the Long family business and nearly became a collateral branch. Later, Long Chen’s grandfather was able to take back the part of the family business that belonged to them after he grew up.”
Lin Jiapeng: "Now you know that Long Lingtian has devoured most of the Long family's business and holds absolute power. He definitely hopes that Long Chen can marry into a powerful family and swallow up the Long family's business. He doesn't want Long Chen to follow in his great-grandfather's footsteps and almost end up being isolated."
Having lived in a wealthy family for some time, Wen Yan's mind had not yet been assimilated. He revealed a dead fish eye: "Heh, his own ancestors were all ordinary people, yet he still uses a superior attitude to oppose them. How ridiculous."
“Most businessmen are like that, only interested in profit,” Lin Jiapeng chuckled.
Wen Yan nudged his shoulder with the hood, "If you were with an ordinary person, and your family locked you up, would you give in?"
Lin Chia-peng replied earnestly, "Of course not."
"What if your family won't let you out if you don't break up with her? If you force your way out, they will hurt your loved one and her family."
Long Chen has been locked up for a week. During this time, Liu Xirou was stabbed by Long Lingtian's men. Even with the Su family's bodyguards protecting her secretly, it was still impossible to guard against them.
He and Su Jibai found Long Lingtian, and their words were full of accusations against Long Lingtian for his despicable behavior. However, Long Lingtian just smiled and indicated that it was not his doing.
Long Chen's mother still couldn't be contacted, and Wen Yan really needed to find an outsider to change the perspective on solving this problem.
Lin Jiapeng chuckled, “I’ll pretend to submit first, then secretly send my lover and his family abroad. Once I’ve completely taken control of the Lin family, I’ll bring them back.”
Wen Yan said speechlessly, "Then what about your husband and his family's jobs? They have their own lives too."
“Yeah,” Lin Jiapeng scratched his chin, “but what’s more important than life?”
Looking at his solemn expression, Wen Yan also fell into deep thought.
The phone rang, and Wen Yan deftly flipped off the stage, pulled the phone out of her coat, and answered it.
"Hello?"
Su Jibai's voice came through the phone, "Achen has been released."
"What?" Wen Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Long Lingtian has finally come to his senses?"
Su Jibai: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Wen Yan asked anxiously, "What do you mean? Don't speak in riddles."
Su Jibai: "Just now, Liu Xirou went to the Long family to see Uncle Long. Not long after she came out, Long Chen was released."
“I reviewed the surveillance footage from the day Liu Xirou was stabbed. During that time period, no one else walked that road except for her and her bodyguard.”
“You suspect that Xirou orchestrated this herself,” Wen Yan said, growing increasingly agitated. “How could she possibly do such a thing? It wouldn’t do her any good either. Long Lingtian wouldn’t release Long Chen just because she was injured and he felt morally condemned.”
Su Jibai: "No, but the Long family has had several shipments of goods seized in Y country, and their factory has also run into trouble. Uncle Long is currently overwhelmed with problems and has no energy to deal with Achen's affairs, so he will naturally release him."
Country Y?
The wild goose's blessing comes from the heart; it is Ji Weixuan!
Why would Ji Weixuan help Liu Xirou release Long Chen? Aren't he and Long Chen rivals in love?
