Chapter 47 Your wife can't come back, she's dead
After seeing Ning Yan in the conference room, Yu Chengbai took him directly into the car and took Sevi, who was ready to protect Ning Yan, with him.
Although Ning Yan didn't know why Yu Chengbai did this, she was quite happy to go with him. After all, from what Yu Chengbai said, it seemed that he had been looking for her all the time.
And they must have been looking for him in a hurry, as they didn't even ask Cheng Zhengze about his missing wife. They just took him away and left.
Ning Yan could understand why Yu Chengbai pulled him away, since he was his brother's friend after all.
But now seeing Cheng Zhengze catching up with him, especially pointing a gun at Yu Chengbai and asking him to get out of the car, Ning Yan really couldn't understand.
Is he crazy?
Didn’t we already know Yu Chengbai’s identity?
Do you still dare to catch up?
He remembered that when Yu Chengbai pulled him away just now, he did not call his name, so Cheng Zhengze would not recognize him.
"You stay in the car, I'll get off..."
Ning Yan didn't finish his words and turned around to see Yu Chengbai had already gotten off the car from the other side.
The hand that was originally holding Yu Chengbai's arm was now empty, and he couldn't even feel any residual warmth.
Ning Yan frowned, curious: "Is he hungry? Want to eat bullets in the middle of the night?"
The car behind also stopped. Before the car came to a complete stop, the bodyguards in the car had already quickly gotten out and were now all waiting outside the door.
As soon as the car door was opened, the bodyguard held out the umbrella in his hand, shielding Yu Chengbai who was pushing the door and getting out of the car.
Watching the car door close, Ning Yan was stunned for a long time. He reached out and patted Sevi in front of him, frowning and said, "Did he say anything to me when he got out of the car just now?"
Sevi finally relaxed a lot, nodded, and said, "He told you to stay in the car and not go out. It's dangerous outside."
"..." Ning Yan took a while to react before blinking slightly, "Wow, isn't the biggest danger here me?"
"I think it's you." Sevi said very seriously.
The sound of raindrops was loud and noisy, hitting the umbrella, and the raindrops on the ribs formed a string of beads.
Cheng Zhengze pointed his gun at Yu Chengbai's head under the umbrella through the beads and raindrops, while Cole and the members of 735 behind Yu Chengbai also pointed their guns at Cheng Zhengze's head.
One against several, a situation with no chance of winning.
Cheng Zhengze had no intention of backing down. He glanced at the dark car window, raised his eyes, and said to Yu Chengbai, "Leave him to me. I promise that tomorrow you will see your wife return home safe and sound."
Yu Chengbai didn't say anything.
Cheng Zhengze frowned slightly, then sneered softly, "It seems Mr. Yu doesn't love your wife very much either. This man is obviously much more important than your wife."
The word "man" was pronounced very heavily, very slowly, and very deeply.
The gaze directed at Yu Chengbai was as cold as a knife blade, colder than the raindrops hitting his body.
"I won't hand him over to you," Yu Chengbai said, "but if my wife doesn't come back tomorrow, then I can promise you that the Cheng family will only exist in memories from now on."
“…”
Cheng Zhengze shifted his gaze to look at Ning Yan who was standing behind Yu Chengbai, waiting for him to speak.
Ning Yan, holding an umbrella herself, stood not far from Yu Chengbai, tilting her head and smiling, "Don't be like that, Mr. Cheng. There are many people who like me, and you are not the only one. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Yu how many men in the capital are envious of me."
Cheng Zheng said with a hint of meaning: "Mr. Yu said he wants to see his wife."
Ning Yan looked innocent and asked curiously, "Then why don't you just let his wife go? You came all the way here, and someone who didn't know would think he kidnapped your wife."
Cheng Zhengze looked at him quietly, without saying a word, his eyes complicated and speechless.
"Don't look at me like that, Mr. Cheng. I told you it's impossible for us to be together. It's so late. Go back and get some rest."
"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" Cheng Zhengze stared at him intently. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said the second half of the sentence, "Ning Yan."
“…”
"Ning Yan, speak."
"Yeah." Ning Yan's face was calm, even cold, and he nodded: "What's wrong? I'm here."
“…” The silent person became Cheng Zhengze.
It was clearly him who was calling out, and now that Ning Yan responded, he became visibly panicked. He gritted his teeth, tightened his cold jaw, and one could almost see the slightest trembling of his muscles.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "How many people are there with this name?"
Ning Yan remained calm and replied, "It's just me. If you don't believe me, go ask 735."
"...Impossible!" Cheng Zhengze roared, his eyes bloodshot. "You're lying!"
Well, he knew it.
Some people would rather believe in vague illusions than the truth that is right in front of them.
Ning Yan simply followed his lead, nodded nonchalantly, and said, "Yes, you guessed right. Ning Yan is a code name, not a name. Many people in 735 have used this code name. I'm not the only one."
Cheng Zhengze still didn't say anything, and the almost terrifying expression on his face didn't ease at all.
"You've come all the way here. Now you've asked all the questions you wanted to ask and I've answered them. Can you please leave now?" Ning Yan urged.
Cheng Zhengze stared at his face intently, still silent, but the gun in his hand was lowered little by little.
Ning Yan was just about to tell Yu Chengbai that we should go when Cheng Zhengze suddenly said, "Why did you protect me before? Do you know what I mean? In such a dangerous situation, why did you protect me?"
He lowered his head in thought and was about to speak when Cheng Zhengze suddenly shouted, "Don't say you're kind-hearted! You're the one who least deserves those two words here!"
“…”
Although it was true, Ning Yan still felt itchy when he heard it said so.
Ning Yan frowned, thought carefully, and replied: "Maybe it's because..."
Cheng Zhengze stared at his face closely.
"Your wife was a very good person, wasn't she?" Ning Yan sighed, "but she died relatively early. Next time I have a chance, I'll tell you in detail how she died."
Cheng Zhengze's face turned pale instantly, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
The hand holding the gun dropped down little by little.
Back in the car, Ning Yan sat next to Yu Chengbai.
I was just about to ask him if he really planned to slaughter the entire Cheng family if his wife didn't come back tomorrow. Wouldn't that be too cruel?
Yu Chengbai suddenly said, "I'll have someone send you back to the capital tomorrow."
Ning Yan was stunned for a moment and didn't react, "Send me back to the capital?"
"Well, a lot of people thought you were dead, including my brother Ali. He's been looking for you. He's very worried about you."
"I know, this is normal. We have a good relationship. He will definitely come to me."
"After returning to the capital, don't come back here again."
"Okay, I don't want to come back either. I still like the capital."
Yu Chengbai was quiet for a while, then turned to look at him and said, "Be well on your way, don't make me worry."
Ning Yan hadn't reacted yet, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Just after nodding, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Aren't you going back?"
Yu Chengbai said softly, "I have something else to do."
"What's up?"
"Looking for my wife." The sorrow and resentment between Yu Chengbai's brows overflowed at this moment. He frowned, and his tone was flat and full of self-blame. "I have been looking for you all this time since I came back. I was often away from home and ignored my wife. She got angry and ran away from home."
"..." Ning Yan asked, "Have you been looking for me all this time?"
"right."
"Because your brother is looking for me?"
"Yes." Yu Chengbai put his hand on his forehead, as if he had a severe headache, and said softly, "Go back early, he is very worried about you."
“…”
Ning Yan felt that some things suddenly became clear as he went along, including the things he felt were wrong along the way.
He always felt that Yu Chengbai was not as gentle as when they first met.
When I teased him the first time we met, he just blushed and struggled to pull my hand away.
And along the way, he always felt that Yu Chengbai was cold.
He thought it was because of the gap in Yiwei's identity during this period that made him feel that Yu Chengbai was cold.
Now watch...
Yu Chengbai was blaming him for not dying but causing him to look for her everywhere every day, which eventually made his wife angry and she ran away!
The air pressure in the car dropped unconsciously.
Even the driver felt something was wrong and couldn't help but look up at the rearview mirror.
Finally, Ning Yan spoke.
He smiled lightly, but there was no smile in his eyes. He said calmly, "Don't wait, Yu Chengbai. Your wife won't come back."
"He's dead."

PS:
Yu Chengbai is not the type of person who would take his anger out on others. He was really just unhappy and depressed because his wife was missing.
But Ning Yan didn't think so. He thought Yu Chengbai was blaming him and that he was jealous of himself. (Yi Wei was Ning Yan from beginning to end. There was no third person. Everyone, please don't pick on yourself.)
