Chapter 147 Ex-wife, how come I didn't know you were so good at this?
Zhong Yan knew something was wrong when he saw that the sports car hadn't moved and he couldn't contact the bodyguard.
Ji Tanyuan went in and never came out, which means that she was taken away by someone who evaded the surveillance cameras.
For the first time, he felt fear.
There had been cases of kidnapping wealthy people for ransom and then killing them before, and that kind of worry and fear lingered around him.
He was genuinely afraid that Ji Tanyuan would also get caught up in this situation.
Zhong Yan immediately called his uncle in the Ministry of Public Security.
The reply they gave an hour later was that Ji Tanyuan had not been kidnapped.
There has been no news of the kidnappers.
Zhong Yan immediately got angry. If they hadn't been tied up, they couldn't contact one or two of them.
Minister Ling sighed. He was Ling Bu's second grandfather, now seventy years old. He had watched Zhong Yan grow up and treated him like his own grandson. His voice remained steady: "Ayan, Tan Yuan is doing well."
"They were even having dinner together in the photos. How could the Shen family do something like kidnapping? Besides, Tan Yuan has known those two Shen boys for over ten years, so why are you worrying about this?"
Zhong Yan didn't reply, only thanked him and hung up the phone.
He clicked his tongue.
When men look at other men, especially men in their courtship phase, their intuition can be incredibly accurate when they're really focused.
He had known all along that the two Shen brothers were interested in his wife, one openly and the other secretly, utterly shameless, as if there was only one woman in the whole world for them.
It's no wonder Ji Tanyuan would be unhappy with someone who's sickly and can't do anything.
Zhong Yan was not relieved at this point; in fact, he was even more worried.
Shen Xichen is a madman.
He called Chu He: "Arrange a plane to fly to Shanghai. If there are no flights, drive here and pick me up now."
"yes."
Fortunately, there was a flight to Shanghai, and by the time Zhong Yan and his people arrived in Shanghai, it was already past midnight.
His expression was cold as he said on the plane, "Find out where Shen Xichen is. If you can't find him, use the Sky Eye surveillance system to check the footage and search for him one by one."
In less than half an hour, Shen Xichen's manor was revealed.
He muttered under his breath, "They're all incredibly ugly, and they still have the nerve to steal my guys?"
His face was so cold that he was unapproachable. Although he had a sharp tongue, Chu He didn't dare to say another word at this moment.
If Young Master Shen had any sense, he would know not to touch Ji Tanyuan, but unfortunately, this eldest son of the Shen family is a madman.
As the saying goes, genius is on the left and madness is on the right; a single misstep can easily lead to cataclysmic events.
Chu He glanced at Zhong Yan, whose eyes were downcast and whose emotions were unreadable, and knew that this matter would not be so easy to resolve.
But he still said, "Boss, should I tell Chairman Ji?"
Zhong Yan looked out the window: "No need, he doesn't need to worry about it."
Chu He couldn't understand what the problem was with letting his wife's father know.
Having received a clear reply, Chu He had no choice but to comply. On everything concerning his wife, Zhong Yan was unusually difficult to talk to and acted arbitrarily, while Chu He had to "obey."
When the plane landed in Shanghai, it was already 3 a.m., and what greeted him was the fire at the Shen Family Manor.
Zhong Yan staggered almost imperceptibly, and the powerful aura that had been carefully cultivated to keep strangers at bay collapsed once again.
His face suddenly turned pale, and fear returned.
At this point, she had forgotten about being jealous; she was completely enraged.
"Hurry up and leave. I told you, Shen Xichen deserves to die."

The side house of the manor
Because the main building was affected by the fire, they had no choice but to come here.
Shen Xichen sat on the sofa with his arms crossed, while Ji Tanyuan sat on the other side.
Ji Tanyuan crossed her legs, lowered her head, and idly played with her fingernails.
Being stared at by Shen Xichen's expressionless face made her feel even better.
That's just how she is. She felt disgusted when Shen Xichen coldly observed her anger, fear, and all other emotions that damaged her elegant image.
Now that she's won back the score, the angrier Shen Xichen gets, the happier she is.
She laughed, "I couldn't sleep, and I was so annoyed by the paintings next door that I burned them."
Shen Xichen's face darkened, and he parted his thin lips slightly: "Is that so? I thought you were trying to lure people over here."
Ji Tanyuan tilted her head. "They should be here by now, if nothing unexpected happens. They already came looking for you, but you turned them away."
Shen Xichen: "So clear?"
Ji Tanyuan: "Of course, my car has a GPS tracking system. If it stays in the tea room for a long time, it means there's a problem."
Ji Tanyuan tapped her knee: "I really can't sleep here. Why don't you let me go back? Otherwise, if my skin gets worse, it won't just be a matter of burning down your room."
Shen Xichen: "If I don't sleep, I'll let you smell some aromatherapy and you'll fall asleep. You smell pretty good during the day, don't you?"
He stood up, looked down at Ji Tanyuan, and slowly approached. Ji Tanyuan did not dodge, but looked up at him.
"What, you want to play with fire?"
Bang!
A sudden kicking sound interrupted the two.
"You two were playing with fire and burned the house down?" a teasing voice came from behind.
Ji Tanyuan could hear the gritted teeth in the voice.
"Ex-wife, how come I didn't know you were such a womanizer?"
