Xiang Wan didnât put up a struggle. She didnât want to provoke and accelerate any evil thoughts in him.
âI donât understand what you mean.â
âYou donât?â Ye Lun raised an eyebrow and drew closer to her face with a smile. âI can tell you about it.â
He said this softly with a smile, she could feel some of his warm breath on her ear.
She felt an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach and turned her head away, enduring the discomfort without making any sound.
Nonetheless, that slight bitter expression was still caught by Ye Lun.
He had a sinister look and he used more strength to grip her chin. âYou donât like me touching you?â He asked coldly.
A man and a woman inside a room. Behind them, there was a bed.
Such words were ambiguous and awkward. If she was not careful, she would cause misfortune to herself.
Xiang Wan frowned uncomfortably. She only looked at him seriously and didnât retort him. âI feel uncomfortableâŠâ
Ye Lunâs face turned grim.
When she saw that she immediately added, âIâm thinking if you can help me buy a packet of sanitary pads?â
Eh? Ye Lun scrutinized her.
âItâs coming soon,â said Xiang Wan calmly, âI already feel unwell and now that Iâm being locked up here, my stomachâs really uncomfortable and I feel pain all over⊠Do you really think I feel happy and at ease like that?â
This answer was good, for it was safe.
Ye Lun looked at her coldly for a moment.
âYouâre very smart.â
Xiang Wan faced his gaze and remained quiet.
Ye Lun laughed again, revealing a row of white teeth like a cunning fox.
âDid you think that I will let you off when you say that⊠Hmm, Teacher Xiang, maybe you donât really understand men. At least, you donât understand men like meâŠâ Ye Lun seemed to have thought of something after he said that a teasing and evil look appeared on his face. âWhen a womanâs on her period, the experience will be better than usual, donât you know that?â
Xiang Wanâs face went pale. âI donât think youâre interested in me?â
Ye Lun said while smiling, âInitially, I didnât have much interest. Now⊠I suddenly am interested.â
Xiang Wan chose to keep quiet lest she angered him.
Ye Lun smiled devilishly. âI want to know what Bai Muchuanâs woman tastes like. What kind of charm she has that he would actually give up a beauty like Xie Wanwan. You even charmed Cheng Zheng, a man whoâs unbothered and indifferent to the world, to fall head over heels for youâŠâ
This is bleeping funny, she thought to herself.
What exactly did Cheng Zheng do?
A big question could be seen on Xiang Wanâs faceâŠ
âCanât you tell me what happened? What has this got to do with Cheng Zheng?â
Naturally, she diverted the topic.
Naturally, Ye Lunâs focus was thus diverted away.
His fingers stroked her chin slowly, looking at her exquisite facial features as he raised his eyebrows slightly. âCheng Zheng sent a private message to the account where the third episode of the murdererâs script was posted. He told me that he is willing to take the biochemical dispenser as well as the technology to create the HW gas⊠to exchange for you.â
Xiang Wan was dumbstruck for a moment.
âIn other words⊠he wants to use himself, to exchange for you.â Ye Lun continued to laugh. He seemed keen on the deal. âHe told me that he was involved in the study of the HW gas and that he is able to replicate the biochemical weapon that Heavenâs Wrath stole⊠Hur, do you think I can trust this person?â
âVery interesting.â Ye Lun muttered to himself. âHeâs right to say that I wonât be able to have much use for it even if I got hold of the biochemical dispenser as itâs only a matter of time that it will be used up as the amount is really little. But if I can get someone who is able to make it⊠thatâs a real treasure.â
Then, he turned to look at Xiang Wan, revealing a half-smile and nodding his head.
âFrom what I know, heâs one of Professor Jamesâs best students in Country X. And Professor James, heâs one of the researchers involved in the research of biochemical weaponsâŠâ
Seems like Ye Lun knew a lot.
Xiang Wan didnât want to answer this question. âMister Ye, I feel that you should use me⊠to exchange for your dad. Wonât that be more meaningful instead? Donât you think so?â
The mention of An Ying made Ye Lun turned grim.
His good mood was lost because of that name, including the interest in her.
He let go of Xiang Wanâs chin and snorted coldly. âDo you think that the police will agree? Do you think that Iâm a fool?â
âIsnât it the same when you asked the police for the HW gas? Why did you think that the police would agree?â
Ye Lun paused for a while and gave a sneer. âBecause there are fools like Bai Muchuan and Cheng Zheng⊠They wonât break into the detention center but getting the dispenser is something more achievable.â
âHur!â Xiang Wan found herself speechless.
âWhat are you laughing at? Are you especially glad?â
âIâm just a hostage. Whatâs there to be happy about?â
âA good man like Cheng Zheng⊠is willing to take risks for you. Arenât you happy about it?â
Xiang Wan had not come into contact with Cheng Zheng for a long time.
Although they were working in the same building, they seldom met each other.
The last time they talked to each other was at the canteen. Cheng Zheng even told her that there was someone suitable for him and he might want to take the relationship a step further⊠At that time, Xiang Wan was glad for him from the bottom of her heart. She even felt that Cheng Zheng had done the correct thing as that fitted perfectly to what he had always believed in - egoism, where he treated self-interest as the foundation of morality.
That was Cheng Zheng in Xiang Wanâs heart.
He seemed to have no special feelings for anyone.
He was not a compassionate person. In fact, he was rather apathetic and lived in his own world.
He always showed a cold and detached look to othersâŠ
He loved himself and he didnât love anyone else.
That was the main reason why Xiang Wan rejected him back then.
No matter how good a choice he was, Xiang Wan didnât want a cold-blooded animal for a husband. When there would come a day that there were changes in their life or a dangerous situation occurred, this type of person would abandon her without qualms.
Xiang Wan had never expected thatâŠ
If the one who came was Bai Muchuan, she wouldnât be surprised.
As for Cheng Zheng - seriously speaking, she didnât want him to come.
No one should incur debts from those that they didnât love.
She was unable to repay him for such a favor.
Xiang Wan did not know if Cheng Zheng had the ability to recreate the HW gas. Of course, Ye Lun wouldnât believe him totally either. However, for him, since someone was willing to make a deal and he had nothing to lose, there was no reason to reject that.
After all, he could gain an additional hostage, what was not good about this?
He had never thought of letting Xiang Wan off.
It was after midnight and there was a thick mist on the road.
The mist settled on the windscreen, tiny beads of water flowing down slowly at the corners.
Cheng Zheng turned on the windscreen wipers.
There were no street lights on the road. The car headlights could only see this much as its vision was limited by a lack of lights and the dense misty weather.
Therefore, he had to drive slowly.
When his mobile phone rang, the whole car seemed to be buzzing as well.
Cheng Zheng took a look at the caller ID and picked up the call. âHello!â
âWhere are you?â He heard Bai Muchuanâs impatient and anxious voice.
âYou should be able to find my location!â Cheng Zheng told him casually, âTreat me as a case of violation of rules, and itâll be simple. Once you get my location, come quicklyâŠâ
âDo you think that by doing so, I can steer clear of any responsibility? Youâre too naive!â Bai Muchuan commanded in a cold tone, âHurry up, tell me your location now or I will look for you openly!â
The moment he did that, it would mean that many people would come to know what was going on.
And if more people came to know about this, the aftermath of this episode would be difficult to handle.
Cheng Zheng remained silent for a moment. âIâm confident that I can ensure her safety. The rest is up to youâŠâ
âIâm bleeping asking you where you are now?!â
Bai Muchuan yelled at him and interrupted what he was going to say.
âCheng Zheng, for you and Xiang Wanâs safety. You must tell me your whereabouts now, immediately! And, you must cooperate with usââ
