The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

Chapter 205 Being Betrayed, Chen Yuanxi Escaped in the Confusion

Chen Yuanxi only gave Zhang Dong a simple order. “Extort a confession from Luo Yang.”

“Wenxi, I do this on my own initiative. You should remember that all of this has nothing to do with you!” Zhang Dong said. Thinking for a moment, he set off immediately after some brief preparations.

At the same time, somewhere in a small town near Beijing, the long-prepared operation began finally.

At the beginning of summer, lots of dark clouds hung above the small town. Long bolts of lightning spread all over the sky exaggeratedly, just like the flashlight falling on the dying man’s wrinkled face. The city was like a decaying body, and the endless streams of vehicles were the body’s corrupting blood vessels. Standing by the window of his office, Chen Tianjiao smelled death.

The door opened, and a group of public officials took him out. From that moment on, he would be required to report his problems within a prescribed time, being confined in a small hotel room of this small town.

However, Chen Tianjiao pleaded not guilty. He knew that as long as he hadn’t admitted his guilt, everything was still possible for him. Through his lawyer, Chen Tianjiao passed on this news to his families, who were already in a mess.

The lawyer specifically told Chen Yuanxi that his father was now facing a huge crisis and expected him to find a solution.

Chen Yuanxi looked so anxious that he almost cried out.

Deng Yifei went to the bedroom to call others for help while Chen Wanxin and Chen Yuanxi sat in the living room, occupying themselves with different thoughts.

“He is only in solitary confinement.” Chen Yuanxi thought coldly in his heart. “I should never underestimate Chen Tianjiao’s power. If he is not sent to the procuratorate as soon as possible, he will merely go through a superficial investigation in the confinement.”

Chen Wanxin was very puzzled. At this moment, Mo Qian disappeared without reason, and Luo Yang also disappeared. She remembered that three days ago, Luo Yang was supposed to take her home, but he didn’t show up. Finally, Chen Wanxin had to ask Zheng Kai to bring her home. From then on, she had never received any news from Luo Yang. Immediately after that, her father, Chen Tianjiao, was isolated from them! Now, she felt very upset and confused.

“Sister Wanxin, is it possible that Mo Qian has done something that got our dad into trouble?” Chen Yuanxi asked.

“Ridiculous! Mo Qian has been doing business with our father for decades!” Chen Wanxin said.

“Sister Wanxin, who do you trust more, Zheng Kai or Luo Yang?” Chen Yuanxi asked.

“What do you mean?”

“Luo Yang is missing. Mo Qian is missing, too. Then our dad is in trouble. Can you guarantee that you, your mother, and I won’t have any trouble next?” Chen Yuanxi said anxiously.

All of a sudden, Chen Wanxin got his point.

Before long, Zheng Kai hurriedly rushed to Chen’s home together with a group of combative security guards. Upon seeing such a scene, those guards who initially stayed in Chen’s were nearly about to take up their weapons and fight with them.

Although Chen Yuanxi looked extremely anxious, he failed to come up with any solution. Instead, Deng Yifei was bustling around in a hurry, and Chen Yuanxi sent some people to protect her.

Chen Wanxin fixed her eyes on Chen Yuanxi. However, the longer she stared at him, the stronger the wrong feeling in her heart became. After a long time, she went to the bathroom.

“Zhao Yuan! Where are you? Yuanxi and I have been trapped at home. Some people may attack us!” cried Chen Wanxin. She sounded as if she were about to break into tears.

Hiding outside the bathroom, Chen Yuanxi could not overhear her, but he could figure it out through reading her expressions. Frowning, Chen Yuanxi thought for a moment. “Sh*t! She caught me!”

Sure enough, Chen Yuanxi’s phone rang immediately, showing the caller ID, Zhao Yuan.

Hearing the ringing sound, Chen Wanxin slowly walked out of the bathroom while staring at Chen Yuanxi.

Quickly, Chen Yuanxi carried his phone and went to the bathroom.

“Who is it? Isn’t that from Zhao Yuan?” Chen Wanxin stood in his way and asked with a cold smile, “What are you so afraid of?”

“Brother Yuan and I, we are going to share some words of love. Do I need to ask for your permission first?” Wearing a smile, Chen Yuanxi asked.

“It doesn’t matter. I am your sister, so I don’t mind.” Chen Wanxin smiled back at him.

“Step aside!”

“No!”

Suddenly, Deng Yifei popped up from her room. Pulling a long face, she watched the brother and sister who were arguing when they faced the imminent disaster.

Chen Yuanxi didn’t want Chen Wanxin to say something unfavorable. After all, he didn’t want to confront her and her mother at the same time. Thus, he answered the phone, thinking fast to respond appropriately. “Yes, I am safe now. You don’t need to come over.”

Although Chen Yuanxi repeatedly told him not to come, he believed that Zhao Yuan would definitely rush over to him.

“What is the use of also asking Zhao Yuan to help us with the trouble?” “Zheng Kai is enough to protect us,” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.

“According to your character, I suppose that you will certainly call your handsome and smart brother Zhao Yuan first when you are in trouble if you take our family as your own. Am I right?” Chen Wanxin asked with a cold smile. “You pretend that you don’t know what to do. What a great actor!”

“Sister, do you know the difference between you and me? Since you entered the university, whenever you encounter something, the first thing you do is to ask for help. You didn’t want to take the exams, so you hired someone to take the exams for you. When you were too lazy to move, you asked Zheng Kai to bring you the meals. You called Luo Yang to deal with me, but he didn’t make it. After that, you let Mo Qian continue handling me. But do you know me? The first thing I do when I meet problems is to find solutions by myself! Thus, after I returned home from abroad, I completely defeated you when we were under the same condition! Thus, I am now trying to figure out a solution. The first thing I do is not to call Zhao Yuan, who is perhaps on a business trip somewhere! Even if we will be in danger, do you want him to come back and join the battle when his suit, tie, and leather shoes are still on him? Zhao Yuan is indeed exceedingly brilliant and brave. But when he faces so many gangsters alone, do you want him to block the attacks with his flesh body for you or me?” Chen Yuanxi spoke in a harsh tone and with a stern expression.

“But you should at least contact Zhang Dong first! Where is Zhang Dong?” Chen Wanxin breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

“Sister Wanxin, I should ask you instead. Since Zhang Dong left yesterday, he never came back again. Isn’t he the person sent by Mo Qian to keep watch on me?” Chen Yuanxi glared at her.

Chen Wanxin was a little stunned. “Chen Yuanxi, if Luo Yang or Zhang Dong planned to deal with us, they would have done so a few days ago. They didn’t need to disappear first! Therefore, some people made them disappear. As for who these people are, I could only ask you!”

“Ask me? Miss Wanxin, may I ask you? Who else can harm Mo Qian? Who can do something bad to our dad? If I were determined to scheme to ruin this family, indeed, I would first call Zhao Yuan to be my advisor. Between you and me, who do you think Zhao Yuan would like to offer his help? I let you ask Zheng Kai to come. But who Zheng Kai will save first when we are in danger at the same time? Have you lost your mind? Or is it because you always have a prejudice against me?” Chen Yuanxi looked like he was unable to restrain his anger.

Chen Wanxin gave it a little thought. Looking at Zheng Kai, who was patrolling outside the window, she became speechless, finally. The two of them sat in silence for a while. But then, their phones rang at the same time.

The two siblings went back to their own bedroom, respectively. But after a while, they went out at the same time.

Zheng Kai heard the voices of Chen Wanxin and Chen Yuanxi in the room. He quickly went inside to check.

“Zheng Kai, catch Chen Yuanxi. He wants to ruin my family!” Chen Wanxin looked so anxious that she burst into cry.

“Zheng Kai, catch Wanxin, she wants to destroy me!” Chen Yuanxi yelled. It seemed that he was also very anxious.

Like a crazy tiger, Chen Wanxin had already pounced on Chen Yuanxi to hit him. On the alert, Chen Yuanxi kept his eyes on Zheng Kai. And from time to time, he also looked out of the window.

Just now, Chen Yuanxi received a call from Zhang Dong. “Yuanxi, wait for me outside. I will pick you up right away.”

“Luo Yang, he ran away!” Zhang Dong said, “Let’s talk in detail when we meet!”

“Zheng Kai, are you going to catch him or not?” Chen Wanxin yelled at him.

At this point, Chen Yuanxi pushed Chen Wanxin aside and ran out while shouting, “What a mad woman! She is hardhearted enough to hurt her own brother!” Then, he reproached those people outside. “All of you quickly come inside to watch Miss Chen!”

When they faced such a confusing situation, the group of people outside was puzzled on the spot.

They knew that they could neither attack the brother nor the sister. Thus, all of them turned to look at Zheng Kai in unison.

“Catch Chen Yuanxi!” Deng Yifei suddenly rushed out of the room. “Catch him, the go*mned son!”

Meanwhile, a blast of the trumpet came from outside. Chen Yuanxi dashed out all of a sudden. The bunch of the Chen family’s guards followed right after him. However, the group of BC company’s bodyguards stayed still, looking at Zheng Kai.

“Zheng Kai! Go ahead, catch him! He wants to murder me! He has already dragged my dad down! Zheng Kai!” At this moment, how Chen Wanxin wished that she could have a pair of wings for her to catch this traitor who had lurked in her home for seven years! Chen Wanxin found that the fact was a little hard to swallow. “The whole seven years, this person stayed at home together with me, pretending to be one dear member of my family. Especially, he acted so well to be my father’s filial son. What else is he capable of? Why on earth would he choose to deal with his own biological father? But even if he had found out that our father murdered Zhao Mingjiang, he would never act like this!” Chen Wanxin felt scared and greatly frightened.

Chen Wanxin sobbed pitifully. But Zheng Kai stood still at the same place.

Outside the door, Zhang Dong let out a bellow. “Who fu*king dare go against me?!”

Those bodyguards were either Zhang Dong’s subordinates in the Chen family or people who had witnessed Zhang Dong’s power, so how dare they come forward to attack him? Then, under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Dong pulled away together with Chen Yuanxi.

“Pa!” Chen Wanxin slapped Zheng Kai in the face.

“Zheng Kai, are you fu*king still a man or not? I am the one who will be ruined! It is me!” Chen Wanxin rebuked, crying.

“I will always be by your side,” Zheng Kai said.

“Get lost!” Chen Wanxin desperately pounded Zheng Kai’s chest. “From college to now, you have done nothing to make me happy!”

In silence, Zheng Kai embraced Chen Wanxin in his arms. Not uttering a sound, he just let her hit and blame him.

In a rush, Zhang Dong and Chen Yuanxi went back to their residence. They quickly packed up their clothes and valuables and drove out.

It seemed that the road before them was endless.

“Didn’t I tell you to hand him over to Officer Tan? How could this be?” Chen Yuanxi asked.

“Officer Tan is a traitor! There must be a few traitors in the list given by Uncle Xuan! We were just lucky enough before so that we had never come across any!” Zhang Dong said with a deep voice.

“That means, when you call others to pick up Luo Yang, Uncle Hong Xuan has already exposed, right?” It seemed that Chen Yuanxi was talking to himself. One of his fathers had died, now he couldn’t bear to lose another!

“Yuanxi... Even if Mo Qian does not want to take Uncle Xuan’s life away, he will imprison him. You have told me that Uncle Xuan gave all the evidence he collected in these years to one person. But who is that person? Now, in this case, I suppose that we can have the chance to find this person,” Zhang Dong said.

But Chen Yuanxi shook his head. “Uncle Hong Xuan did not leave any clues for me to look for this person...” Feeling a little exhausted, Chen Yuanxi lay on his back. After a long time, he asked Zhang Dong. “There is a photo album at the top of my study... I looked for it just now, but I didn’t find it. Did you bring it with you?”

“I didn’t take that much. I only took two photos of it,” Zhang Dong said. His face turned a little pale now.

Chen Yuanxi looked at him a little nervously.

“One of the photos is a family photo with you and your parents in it. The other photo is the one shot in Dongchuan,” Zhang Dong said with a smile because he saw that Chen Yuanxi’s look relaxed a little.

But the car suddenly stopped.

“What’s going on?” asked Chen Yuanxi.

“Yuanxi, go ahead. Go... as far as you can. I’m sorry...” Zhang Dong managed to finish speaking with his trembling voice, and suddenly he collapsed to the steering wheel.

Only at this moment did Chen Yuanxi notice that there was a lot of blood on Zhang Dong’s back, and his black clothes were soaked in blood. The blood dripped down from his back and had already formed a puddle on the cushion.
