Chapter 538 Unreasonable
"Sold???!!!"
Lu Jingyan's voice suddenly rose, his eyes widening in disbelief: "You sold her?!"
"Ah."
Jiang Fan avoided his gaze, her voice so low it was almost inaudible: "I don't know where she is now."
"damn thing!"
Lu Jingyan's eyes were bloodshot, and before he could finish speaking, a sharp "smack!" rang out as his fist landed heavily on Jiang Fan's face.
“Cough cough cough…”
Jiang Fan curled up on the ground in pain, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't look up at Lu Jingyan's murderous eyes.
It could even be described as a dozen or so pairs of eyes that devour people.
In the deathly silence, a sudden cell phone ringtone shattered the tense atmosphere like a sharp blade.
Cheng Wangxun's brows furrowed instantly into a deep frown, and the murderous aura emanating from him almost materialized.
He practically gritted his teeth as he pulled his phone out of his pocket, his eyes narrowing as he watched the unfamiliar number flashing on the screen.
He swiped to answer the call, pressed the phone heavily against his ear, his jawline taut as if he were trying to suppress a volcano about to erupt.
After hearing something said on the other end of the phone, in an instant, the violence in Cheng Wangxun's eyes turned into a hint of astonishment, which was then covered by an even deeper chill.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he squeezed out a single, cold word through clenched teeth: "Hmm."
After hanging up the phone, the next second, he was like a cheetah that had been completely enraged. He turned around and rushed to Jiang Fan in a few steps, raising his foot without any mercy and kicking him in the ribs with all his might!
"Ugh!" Jiang Fan let out a painful groan and curled up on the ground.
Cheng Wangxun squatted down, grabbed his collar, and lifted him off the ground, their noses almost touching.
His eyes were filled with a venomous glint, and his voice was low and hoarse, each word like a curse crawling out of hell: "You better pray she didn't lose a single hair, otherwise, I guarantee you'll taste what it truly means to wish you were dead."
After saying that, he threw Jiang Fan aside like he was throwing away trash, stood up, his fingers trembling slightly from the force, and dialed another number.
This time, his tone left no room for argument, carrying an urgent, commanding tone: "Book me the earliest flight to Hong Kong, now, immediately!"
Incense Market?
As soon as Cheng Wangxun finished speaking, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze.
All eyes, filled with surprise, curiosity, and bewilderment, were fixed on him like countless searchlights.
Lu Jingyan was the first to react. He took a step forward, his brows furrowed, and his sharp eyes scrutinized Cheng Wangxun. He asked in a deep voice, "Is Niu Niu in Xiangshi?"
Cheng Wangxun didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, and the words "None of your business" were almost bursting out of his mouth.
However, just as he was about to speak, a thought flashed through his mind: he should find her; perhaps the more people there were, the greater the hope.
This thought forced him to swallow his anger back, and the curse that was about to come out of his mouth was forcibly reversed, turning into an explanation tinged with obvious impatience: "My men caught an unlicensed taxi driver."
He glanced coldly at Ji Jiaxu, who was sprawled on the ground, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and continued, "This bastard made a deal with that driver. He confessed as soon as we caught him. The deal took place in Xiangshi. She... should be there too."
Incense Market.
These two words, like a pebble thrown into a lake, created ripples in everyone's hearts.
That's where Bai Yisha grew up.
What a coincidence.
Just as Cheng Wangxun finished speaking, his phone rang again.
Seeing the assistant's number flashing on the screen, he clicked his tongue impatiently, swiped to answer, and a moment later his expression changed drastically, and he burst into a tirade: "What a crappy place! There's not even an airport! Then build one! Bring my helicopter!"
He Zhizhou still had a headache. He pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand and used the other to find directions to Xiangshi on his phone.
Too noisy.
I really want to knock Cheng Wangxun unconscious.
After learning about Bai Yisha's kidnapping, Luo Su also came over. He frowned and looked at Jiang Fan.
"Did you make that threatening phone call on Miss Bai's birthday? But you were right next to me at the time."
Jiang Fan didn't speak and closed his eyes.
Only Ji Jiaxu was still struggling and sneering on the side, looking arrogant and unruly.
Luo Su glanced at him and knew immediately that he was the one who did it.
He glanced around, sighed, and said softly, "That incident six years ago had nothing to do with Miss Bai."
Jiang Fan remained silent, but Ji Jiaxu spoke up, angrily saying, "If it has nothing to do with her, does it have anything to do with my parents?!"
Luo Su: "You! You're unreasonable!"
Ji Jiaxu curled her lips, looking at Luo Su with an air of utter disdain, and said, "She is a member of the Bai family, and that beast's own flesh and blood. I've already shown extraordinary mercy by not killing her! If I hadn't managed to hit Bai Hualin and not killed him, he would be dead by now!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Su fell silent.
The others have been investigating the Bai family's affairs and have only recently made some progress. Bai Hualin disappeared after the car accident, and they are still searching for her. It was only with the information provided by Chi Liche that they were able to find out that the person who hit Bai Hualin was Ji Jiaxu.
“I am also one of the survivors. Back then, it wasn’t just the Bai family who were involved; there were other powerful figures involved as well. Your revenge is completely unreasonable. If you want revenge, then go find the Bai couple. They are not dead yet. You should find more evidence or ask Miss Bai for help. She is a good person and will help you. But you chose the stupidest way.”
"Ha, you're so great. Do your parents in the afterlife know how you so righteously protect the child of the man who killed them!"
Luo Su: "......"
Xi Yanchen found a baseball bat from somewhere and knocked Ji Jiaxu unconscious with one blow. Then he glanced at Luo Su indifferently and said, "Why bother reasoning with someone like this?"
They could have easily taken both of them to the police station, but Cheng Wangxun wouldn't allow it. He couldn't quell his anger without torturing them, and besides, there was still no news about Bai Yisha.
Ji Jiaxu alone couldn't possibly have manipulated them all. Ji Jiaxu has an organization behind her, and Song Yumi investigated for a long time and found some information.
The members of that organization were all children of survivors from that time, most of them in their teens or twenties, and some of them were intelligent hackers like Song Yumi.
Most of them remained hidden in the shadows, with only Ji Jiaxu, that fool, standing up alongside Jiang Fan.
Besides the Bai family, three other capitalists involved in that incident have gone bankrupt, and there are several unsolved cases.
Because of Jiang Fan, they didn't choose to create an accident to kill Bai Yisha.
What's despicable is that they all received subsidies from the charity founded by Bai Yisha, and used the money to harm people.
