n“You said Chen Chen didn’t appear?” Hu Wan’s voice was very anxious.

n“Yes, but isn’t this the outcome you said in the beginning?” the lead criminal asked curiously.

n“The problem is that he didn’t come to me either! Where on earth did he go?!” Hu Wan frowned tightly and shouted, “Call him quickly and investigate the situation. Don’t give yourself away.”

nAfter hanging up, Hu Wan’s eyes began to become a little smug. She looked at Shao Feng and said, “Although he really didn’t come to me, you’re wrong. He didn’t go to Bai Ran either.”

n“Don’t be too proud. I believe he went to Bai Ran’s side, but maybe something happened and he didn’t go,” Shao Feng said coldly, not giving Hu Wan any face.

n“Hmph! You feel uncomfortable if you don’t argue with me every day, right?!” Hu Wan was a little dissatisfied.

n“I just don’t want to see you so persistent. You’ll understand soon that it’s not worth it for you to do these things.” Shao Feng was very calm. He sighed slightly in his heart. It was really unpleasant to watch his woman scheme against another man all day!

nThe lead criminal quickly called Chen Chen.

n“You didn’t come according to the appointment time.” The lead criminal’s voice was low.

n“Something happened to me! There’s a traffic jam ahead!” Chen Chen looked at the pointer on his watch that was already 9:35. “I’m almost there! Wait for me! Don’t hurt her!”

n“Is that so?! You’re not deliberately stalling for time with me, are you?” the lead criminal said.

n“How is that possible?! Your time is so tight! Besides, Bai Ran is in your hands. How can I play any tricks?!” Chen Chen’s hand, which was holding the phone, was already sweating. He was really worried. “If you don’t believe me, you can go and see the road news! See if I’m telling the truth!”

n“The reason is not important. I’m sorry, but you didn’t keep track of time.” The lead criminal’s voice was very cold. It made Chen Chen’s heart turn cold.

nChen Chen hurriedly shouted, “Don’t be like this! Don’t you just want money?! If you hurt her, won’t you lose the money?! I have 10 million yuan in cash, and it’s even USD! Wait for me!”

n“It’s impossible to wait for you.” The lead criminal thought about it and was a little tempted by the money. He decided to change his original plan a little and earn both sets of money!

n“But I can guarantee that I won’t hurt her! We can trade in another way! I’ll inform you later!” The lead criminal hung up.

n“Wait…” Chen Chen shouted. He wanted to fight for it, but it was too late.

nChen Chen braked suddenly and stopped the car. His hand fell weakly to the side.

nDamn it! Why was there a traffic jam today?!

n“You, come over! Knock her out. Let’s go to the next location!” The lead criminal hung up the phone and walked in. He pointed at a subordinate beside him.

nHis subordinate took out a handkerchief with medicine and walked to Bai Ran.

nBai Ran shook her head, unwilling to faint. However, her mouth and nose were still pressed down.

nIn the next second, Bai Ran’s mouth and nose were suddenly empty. The lackey holding the handkerchief was knocked to the ground by the wooden stick flung from outside.

n“No good! Someone’s coming!” the lead criminal shouted and prepared to run to the window.

nA group of people rushed in and instantly subdued the lead criminal.

nBai Ran had inhaled a small amount of medicine, but she still felt dizzy and confused.

nShe narrowed her eyes and saw a figure subduing these criminals one by one. Then, a woman walked in.

nBai Ran smelled that familiar smell again.

nBai Ran did not have much strength left. When the corners of her mouth finally twitched, she smiled gently.

nThe person walked quickly to Bai Ran and held her head, which was about to tilt to the side, as she shouted, “Trista!”

nTrista was Bai Ran’s name when she was overseas.

nBai Ran raised her eyes, which were almost closed, and said weakly, “Ah Xuan, you’re here…”
