Chapter 1225 - 1252: Danger at the Brink 4
While the Jian Family was busy searching for Jian Qingqing’s whereabouts, on the other side, Lu Xingshen still hadn’t left the civil affairs bureau. He was sitting in his own car parked at the entrance of the bureau, quietly waiting for his people to bring Shi Nuan back.
Today, he was determined to marry Shi Nuan, but he didn’t expect that after waiting for almost an hour, instead of Shi Nuan, he was greeted by the furious Chu Zhan.
With a "duang" sound, the car body shook. Through the car window, Lu Xingshen saw Chu Zhan’s sullen, angry face. He pushed the car door down, not yet reacting, when Chu Zhan punched him to the ground.
"Lu Xingshen, you bastard!"
"Chu Zhan, are you fucking sick?"
Lu Xingshen groaned in pain, his thumb wiping the corner of his blood-tasting lip, his eyes cold as he looked at the young man in front of him, catching the opponent’s punch with one hand.
"Yes, I’m sick!" Chu Zhan wanted to tear Lu Xingshen apart, gritting his teeth, "If I weren’t sick, how could I let you take Nuannuan away? If I weren’t sick, knowing Nuannuan likes me, not you, I would never have planned to let you two be together. I thought you could protect her well."
"But I found out I was wrong, it’s because of you that Nuannuan suffered an unforeseeable disaster, everything is your fault!"
"What do you mean, what’s wrong with Xiao Nuan?" Lu Xingshen finally sensed something wrong.
"You still have the face to ask what’s wrong with her?" Chu Zhan’s lip curled into a bloodthirsty smile, glaring at Lu Xingshen with near-resentful eyes,
"It’s all because of you. If you hadn’t shamelessly stolen my credit and threatened Nuannuan, she wouldn’t have been forced to marry you, wouldn’t have run away halfway after knowing the truth, and wouldn’t have been caught by Jian Qingqing!"
"You said Xiao Nuan was caught by Jian Qingqing!?"
Lu Xingshen was startled, his expression slightly changed, "That’s impossible; that woman promised me she wouldn’t touch Xiao Nuan. How dare she kidnap Xiao Nuan!"
"You didn’t expect it, did you, Lu Xingshen? You are always so arrogant, thinking you are doing good for Nuannuan while continuously hurting her!"
Chu Zhan sneered, "To achieve your goals, you partnered with the tiger, calculating against Nuannuan with Jian Qingqing, not only wanting to control her but also wanting to push her family to others. Now Jian Qingqing, through you, captured Nuannuan’s whereabouts and kidnapped her."
Lu Xingshen’s body stiffened slightly as he heard Chu Zhan ask,
"What do you think Jian Qingqing would do to a threat to her status like Nuannuan?"
Lu Xingshen’s lips pressed tightly, finally losing their color.
Chu Zhan spelled it out, "Lu Xingshen, if anything happens to Nuannuan, I will definitely kill you, the murderer."
Lu Xingshen said nothing, turning away in embarrassment, his hands trembling as he called to arrange for his people to expand their influence and speed up the search for Shi Nuan. He absolutely could not tolerate anything happening to Nuannuan.
It was all because of him.
Lu Xingshen was going mad.
Meanwhile, Nuannuan had just been jolted awake by a bucket of ice-cold water.
She found herself in a square, uneven, damp, and musty-smelling dirt house.
Her hands and feet were bound, her vision dim. Not far away was a sofa, with Jian Qingqing sitting in the shadows, surrounded by several bodyguards she arranged.
Upon hearing the noise, Jian Qingqing raised her head, her face expressionless, "Shi Nuan, you’re awake."
Shi Nuan was not afraid, rather, very calm,
"Jian Qingqing, we have no grievance or animosity, why did you capture me?"
