Su Zhi’en could feel the man’s vicious and murderous aura from miles away—it was Jiang Chen. 

“This has nothing to do with Ba Wanling.”

Jiang Chen and Su Zhi’en both understood this had nothing to do with Ba Wanling. But in Jiang Chen’s mind, it was now all about forcing Su Zhi’en to come out from hiding. Su Zhi’en began to tremble with anger at the thought of this. 

“Jiang Chen, you’re such an a*shole.”

Jiang Chen promptly hung up the phone and began to time Su Zhi’en. Hearing the phone’s beeping, Su Zhi’en couldn’t help but throw the phone out. She had no other choice but to face the lunatic, Jiang Chen.

“Mommy, what happened?” Bai Yu’an has been paying close attention to his mother’s condition for the past few days. When Bai Yu’an overheard his mother’s conversation over the phone, his whole body began to tremble, and he proceeded to throw the phone further away. His chubby little face was full of worry. 

‘Did the bad man come to hurt Mommy again?’

“Mommy is okay, Yu’an. However, I need you to do something for me. Can you take your sister with you to stay with Mommy’s uncle for a while? I will come to look for you soon.”

Su Zhi’en kneeled before her children as she struggled to balance her emotions. She carefully explained her plans to her children. After all, it was tough for the children to leave their mother, and now they have to go live with unfamiliar relatives.

Su Zhi’en didn’t want to do that, but she couldn’t think of any other way. She had to meet up with that b*stard and save Ba Wanling. She couldn’t take her two children with her, and she couldn’t leave them alone in a foreign country.

According to Jiang Chen’s insidious nature, she couldn’t rule out the possibility of him finding out about her two children. Su Zhi’en could only think of splitting up and sending the children back to the city for now.

Bai Yu’an blinked his big bright eyes. “Okay, I promise to do as you say. I will take good care of my sister and wait patiently for mommy to return. But you’d better come home early.”

Hearing her son’s promise and words of comfort, Su Zhi’en did not say a word. She felt sad as she pinched her son’s cheeks. Bai Yu’an was truly mature for a young child that had to leave his mother. He didn’t cry or make a fuss. He even promised his mother that he would take good care of himself and his sister.

Su Zhi’en didn’t have much time to waste. After Bai Yu’an agreed, she asked Sona to send the two children to the airport and called a trusted friend to pick her children up from the airport.

After that, Su Zhi’en drove the car to the agreed meeting place. When she arrived, she saw Ba Wanling tied up on the dock’s deck as Ba Wanling was crying in fear. Su Zhi’en felt terrible instantly.

“Jiang Chen, I’m already here. Let her go!” Su Zhi’en knew that Jiang Chen was nearby. A group of bodyguards surrounded Ba Wanling, so she could only wait for Jiang Chen to come out before making a move.

Sure enough, Jiang Chen knew that Su Zhi’en had arrived, so he leisurely walked out of the boat. “What perfect timing. If you don’t come with me willingly, I’ll have my men throw that woman into the sea. The rope is already tied,” Jiang Chen casually explained. 

He didn’t show any sympathy to the woman crying in fear. Only when Jiang Chen achieved his goal would he have a different reaction. He really was a lunatic.

Su Zhi’en thought, ‘It would seem that I can’t argue with a lunatic.’ 

She suppressed the anger in her heart and said, “Let her go. I’m already here. Didn’t you want to bring me back to the Jiang family? I’m right here. I won’t run away.”

“Oh? Why are you so straightforward this time? Then why did you run away last time? I don’t really care. It’s just that your friend over there almost visited the King of Hell.” Jiang Chen was wearing a dark blue suit and casually sat on a chair his men had placed. His posture was lazy, and his tone was relaxed. He then signaled his men to let Ba Wanling go.

“I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to betray you, I swear.” Ba Wanling immediately apologized to Su Zhi’en after being released. Ba Wanling was too ashamed to look at Su Zhi’en, but she was afraid. The people that kidnapped her were lunatics.

Su Zhi’en hugged Ba Wanling. “I know, you don’t have to apologize to me. I was the one who let you down. They kidnapped you because of me. I am the one who should be apologizing.”

Ba Wanling cried in a low voice as she was still distraught. She apologized to Su Zhi’en, but she didn’t forget the situation that she was currently in. She looked at the man behind Su Zhi’en, and her voice was hoarse as she asked, “Who are they? I know you. You can’t get involved with these people. What’s going on? Why are they looking for you?”

As a good friend, Ba Wanling was truly worried about Su Zhi’en. However, how could Su Zhi’en tell Ba Wanling the truth? Su Zhi’en’s biggest hope now was that Ba Wanling wouldn’t get involved with anyone else just because of her.

Of course, Jiang Chen didn’t have much patience for others. He immediately asked someone to take Ba Wanling away. In the end, only Su Zhi’en and Jiang Chen were left on the deck.

Su Zhi’en’s eyes were neither happy nor sad. She had long calmed down. Otherwise, when she saw Jiang Chen, she would definitely curse at him.

Jiang Chen saw that Su Zhi’en’s eyes were as cold as a winter storm. There was no warmth in them, and he also saw a deep sense of hatred. She truly despised him..
