"Enough, enough, whatever you say goes, alright? Crazy woman."
Hearing Qiu Hanying's mocking tone, Lin Chen, even with his good temper, was a bit angry.
He had saved her life, after all. If he didn't expect thanks, then at least she shouldn't be slandering him. It was like he was more wronged than Dou E!
After speaking, Lin Chen turned and left. No matter how much Qiu Hanying stomped her feet behind him, he paid no attention.
If he had had some good feelings for Qiu Hanying before, they had completely vanished at this moment.
After Lin Chen left, Qiu Hanying, looking extremely annoyed, was about to head home when her phone suddenly rang.
She picked up the phone and saw it was her father calling.
Without thinking much, Qiu Hanying calmed herself down and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Xiao Ying, are you alright?"
On the other end of the line, Qiu Hanying's father's voice was filled with urgency as he asked.
"I'm fine, Dad. I just ran into a lunatic, but I'm almost home now. What's wrong?"
Hearing her father's question, Qiu Hanying was utterly confused. Why would he ask if she was alright out of the blue?
"Thank heavens. Hurry home, lock your doors and windows, and absolutely do not go out. I'll have Aunt Zhang bring bodyguards over to protect you immediately!"
Hearing Qiu Hanying's reply, Qiu Father seemed to have unburdened himself of a great weight, instructing her.
He only had this one daughter. If something were to happen to her, he would have no way to explain it to the family!
"No, Dad, what happened? Why are you sending bodyguards for me out of the blue? And you're even sending Aunt Zhang?"
Qiu Hanying was even more bewildered. What was going on with her father?
She had just encountered a lunatic, and he was sending bodyguards to protect her? Was it really necessary to make such a fuss?
Aunt Zhang, though her name sounded simple, Qiu Hanying knew that this Aunt Zhang was her grandmother's former personal bodyguard, and her skills could only be described as terrifying!
Once upon a time, a Sanda champion had provoked Aunt Zhang, and he couldn't even last three moves against her!
But now? Her father was actually sending Aunt Zhang to protect her. What was going on?
"Listen to me. I just received confirmed intelligence that a mysterious force has hired Hangcheng's notorious thug, Hei San'er, to kidnap you."
"This Hei San'er is skilled, his martial arts are no less than your Aunt Zhang's, and he's also known for being ruthless. He particularly likes ambushing people and putting them in sacks. Be extremely careful when you go out, especially if you see a bald man wearing black clothes. You must be careful, understand?"
Qiu Father said word by word, instructing Qiu Hanying.
"Wait, Dad, are you saying someone wants to kidnap me? And he's bald?"
After hearing her father's words, Qiu Hanying paused instinctively. The image of her being stuffed into a sack just moments ago flashed through her mind.
Black clothes, bald head – wasn't that the description of the people who had just put her in the sack?
"Yes, so you must be extremely careful. Your Aunt Zhang is on a flight tonight and will arrive tomorrow morning."
After saying this, Qiu Father hung up the phone.
Qiu Hanying was completely stunned. Could it be that she had misunderstood the person just now?
But her father had said that this Hei San'er was highly skilled, comparable to Aunt Zhang?
And although she had been put in a sack earlier, she had heard the commotion.
That pretty boy hadn't even taken half a minute to defeat those four people, had he?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Aunt Zhang's skills are extraordinary! If Hei San'er were truly comparable to Aunt Zhang, how could he have been defeated so easily?"
Soon, Qiu Hanying dismissed the thought.
After all, in her opinion, if Lin Chen could defeat Hei San'er so easily, he would be able to defeat Aunt Zhang with ease.
And that was absolutely impossible!
As far back as she could remember, she had only seen Aunt Zhang lose once, and her opponent at that time was a nationally renowned "Soldier King"!
However, when Qiu Hanying returned home, took a shower, and lay in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Lin Chen's appearance kept replaying in her mind.
That look of disgust seemed insincere, not like an act.
Had she really misunderstood him, or was Lin Chen's acting simply too convincing?
At the same time, at the Zhong family villa, although it was almost midnight, the entire villa was still brightly lit.
The servants, who should have finished their work long ago, all stood by the corridor, not daring to make a sound.
The reason was simple: Zhong Shanhe's son, Zhong Hao, had been arrested for suspicion of murder, kidnapping, and rape!
And according to industry insiders, with Zhong Hao's charges, he was undoubtedly facing the death penalty!
At this moment, Zhong Shanhe sat on the sofa, staring intently at Qin Wanru, who stood before him.
According to his investigation, the arrest of his son had been instigated by two thugs, and the mastermind behind it all was Qin Wanru's ex-boyfriend, Lin Chen, who had just been released from prison!
"Qin Wanru! Tell me honestly, what is this Lin Chen's identity?"
Zhong Shanhe clenched his fists, his expression full of rage.
He had sent people to investigate countless times, but he could never get an answer. All the information he received only indicated that Lin Chen was an ordinary person raised in a single-parent family with no special background!
"Dad, I swear, Lin Chen really has no special identity. He's just a good-for-nothing. His only relative is his mother, Wang Fang."
Qin Wanru said with a bitter expression. She had repeated this dozens of times since yesterday.
"Alright, Wanru, let me explain it to you properly. Zhong Hao is my son, Zhong Shanhe's son. The messes he made, I cleaned them up myself."
"But now, all the evidence has been uncovered. Do you know what that means?"
"It means that the upper echelons of half of Hangcheng are helping to gather information. Otherwise, the police wouldn't know so clearly, and their evidence wouldn't be so complete!"
"Do you think an ordinary person from the slums has such influence?"
Zhong Shanhe clenched his fists, forcing himself to calm down.
If it weren't for the fact that Qin Wanru was still useful, he would have wanted to tear her alive!
It was all because of this woman!
If it weren't for her, how would his son have provoked Lin Chen?
Now that Zhong Hao was arrested, it meant that his good days were also coming to an end!
"Fine, get out! From today onwards, you have nothing to do with our Zhong family!"
Then, Zhong Shanhe stood up and expelled Qin Wanru from the Zhong family.
Watching the heavy door of the Zhong family close behind her, Qin Wanru felt her mind reeling.
She knew she could no longer marry into the wealthy family, but from Zhong Shanhe's words, it seemed that Zhong Hao's current predicament was because he had provoked Lin Chen?
