"He's not here. What brings you here?"
Hearing Wen Wan's cold words and seeing the utility knife in her hand, a hint of surprise flashed in Wen Tao's eyes.
Since her family training, Wen Wan has always been trembling with fear in front of him, sometimes even unable to speak.
Wen Tao was certainly aware of Wen Wan's mental illness, which was clearly a lingering effect of her experiences back then.
However, Wen Tao never intervened proactively. From the perspective of the successor's qualifications, he needed Wen Wan to find a way to overcome her inner demons on her own.
And now, she seems to have overcome it a little.
However, these signs do not seem obvious enough; they need to be fueled further.
Wen Tao slowly sat down in the chair behind him, tilting his head slightly upward, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Oh? What? I came to see him, and you don't agree?"
"My daughter wouldn't dare, she just wants to know if you've come to take him away!"
"Da da da!"
As she said this, Wen Wan slowly pulled out the blade of the utility knife and gripped it tightly in her hand.
Despite his fingers trembling slightly, his gaze remained terrifyingly resolute.
Seeing this, Chen Luo finally understood what Wen Wan was up to.
Wen Wan was afraid that her father would hurt Chen Luo, so she was planning to fight him to the death!
"Wan'er! Don't do anything foolish!"
"Bang bang bang!"
He slammed his hands and feet heavily on the bed, letting out a heart-wrenching scream, but the glass in the lounge was soundproof, so the sound couldn't reach the outside.
"Chen Luo! Chen Luo! Calm down! You absolutely mustn't go out right now!"
Yelena wasn't stupid; she immediately realized what Wen Wan was about to do.
The words he just said to himself clearly indicated that he was determined to die together with Wen Tao and intended to entrust Chen Luo to his care.
In other words, Wen Wan judged that Wen Tao was coming to make a move against Chen Luo.
From the perspective of these scions of prominent families, the most likely reason Wen Tao came to find Chen Luo was indeed to break up the couple.
Even a patriarch like the Wen family head would do things to harm Chen Luo.
In the capital, it's not uncommon for ordinary people to have their limbs broken for trying to seduce a young lady from a prominent family.
If Chen Luo really goes out now, the Wen family patriarch might drown him in the sea in a fit of rage!
"Wan'er! Don't do anything foolish! I'll go out and handle this! I can handle it!"
Ignoring Yelena's advice, Chen Luo continued to scream madly, but unfortunately, his voice could not be heard.
Meanwhile, outside, Wen Tao glanced at the utility knife and a smile crept onto his lips.
"What? You're planning to kill your father for your boyfriend?"
"My daughter wouldn't dare, and I don't have that kind of courage either. I just intend to protect my own man."
Wen Tao leaned back slightly, his eyes widening as an indescribable aura instantly enveloped Wen Wan.
Even Chen Luo and Yelena, who were in the lounge at the moment, were slightly stunned when they saw this scene.
It was an indescribable pressure, a kind of awe-inspiring aura accumulated from long-term high-ranking positions.
"So, how do you plan to protect it?"
Faced with such pressure, Wen Wan began to tremble all over, feeling as if all her strength was about to be drained away. She even lacked the strength to hold the utility knife, and the courage she had finally mustered seemed to be about to be crushed and disappear completely.
Just then, Wen Wan looked at her left wrist.
"Whoosh!"
The utility knife suddenly slashed across Wenwan's wrist, and blood gushed out.
Intense pain shot through my brain, instantly restoring my reason, which had just been suppressed by fear.
Then Wen Wan raised the utility knife and pointed it at Wen Tao.
"I'll use my life to protect him!"
"Father, the person I fear most in this life is you!"
"But for Chen Luo, no matter how scared I am, I will fight you to the death!"
Wen Tao stared at the murderous intent and resolute look in Wen Wan's eyes, remaining silent for a long time.
"Wan'er!"
Chen Luo saw Wen Wan swing the knife at her wrist, and as the blood flowed down, he felt an excruciating pain coursing through his body.
"Yelena! Let me go!"
"You can't do it! Chen Luo, you're in grave danger if you go out like this!"
Yelena came to Chen Luo's side, her face full of worry as she looked at the boy who seemed to have gone mad.
"Let me go! Yelena! I can't let anything happen to Wan'er!"
"Let me go! Please!"
"Just let me go! Even if I die after I get out, I'll repay you in my next life, even if I have to be your slave! Yelena, please!"
They used almost the same tone, the same promise to repay in the next life.
Yelena finally understood why she had lost, both in business and in love.
These two people are willing to give everything for each other, even their own lives, because in their eyes, the safety of the other person is far more important.
Huh? Why am I crying?
Yelena wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and picked up a key from the side.
"Chen Luo, remember! You owe me a favor!"
He then unlocked the handcuffs on Chen Luo's hands. Chen Luo quickly got up, but saw that the door was locked.
"Don't look at me! Wen Wan locked this door from the outside, I don't have the key!"
A fierce glint flashed in Chen Luo's eyes as he looked at the locked door.
Outside, Wen Tao's eyes revealed a hint of a smile as he slowly raised both hands.
"Clap clap clap!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
After saying "good" three times, Wen Tao slowly stood up and took a few steps forward.
"Wan'er, you really gave me a pleasant surprise."
A tone of voice, difficult to discern between joy and anger, echoed in Wen Wan's ears. As Wen Wan watched Wen Tao approach, a wave of sorrow washed over her.
It seems Father is truly enraged; things are unlikely to end well today.
Wen Wan put the utility knife away and then held it to her neck.
“Father, I know that even if I could commit patricide, Wen Shao would use the crime of patricide to slaughter everyone around me after we are both dead.”
"Therefore, I can only use my life to bargain with you!"
"Now, I'm returning this life to you! I only ask that you spare Chen Luo after I die!"
After saying that, Wen Wan exerted force with her hand, and was about to cut her own neck.
At this point, Wen Tao finally panicked and shouted out loud.
"Wan'er! Don't be impulsive! I didn't come here to..."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish speaking, a loud crash came from the direction of the lounge. The lounge door was violently kicked open, and countless pieces of glass fell down.
"Splash!"
Amidst countless shards of glass, a figure, disregarding the falling glass, suddenly rushed forward.
Under the astonished gazes of Wen Tao and Wen Wan, Chen Luo grabbed the blade of the utility knife, snatched it away, and then turned around to stand in front of Wen Wan.
"Uncle, if you have a problem, come at me. It has nothing to do with Wan'er!"
