After Prison, She Shocks the World-Chapter 86: Lu Yuan and Shen Linxing Trap Turtles in a Jar
Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Lu Yuan and Shen Linxing Trap Turtles in a Jar
Jiang Linyuan entered the guesthouse complex; Fu Bing’s room was still lit.
The translucent curtains revealed the soft curves of a woman’s silhouette.
Jiang Linyuan swallowed hard.
As expected of a top-tier celebrity, even her figure is superior to others.
Just then, the light in Fu Bing’s room went out.
A slender, snow-white arm reached out to close the window.
Against the backdrop of the night sky, the fair and delicate arm seemed to have hooks, drawing out all of Jiang Linyuan’s insidious thoughts.
Jiang Linyuan bent over and crept into the yard.
Some careless person hadn’t even locked the ground floor’s main door.
Jiang Linyuan grew more excited as he approached, twisting the lock on Fu Bing’s door.
To his surprise, it opened with a simple twist.
Jiang Linyuan’s mind was completely captivated by Fu Bing’s enticing silhouette and her luminous white arms. He only wanted to have a taste of her beauty, not even considering that this might be a trap.
「Inside the room.」
"Fu Bing" was undressing with her back to Jiang Linyuan.
The lighting was dim. The limited illumination fell entirely on "Fu Bing’s" bare back...
Jiang Linyuan pounced. "Fu Bing—no, little baby, you’re so se—"
Before he could finish the word "sexy," he was violently slammed to the ground!
Jiang Linyuan howled in pain. Before he could struggle, a foot was already pressing down on his chest.
When Jiang Linyuan saw that it was a man pinning him down, he was completely dumbfounded.
"You’re tricking me?" he yelled angrily.
Lu Yuan ground his foot down hard. "What were you planning to do to Fu Ying?"
Shen Linxing quickly put her clothes back on and walked over. She reached into Jiang Linyuan’s pocket and pulled out a small vial.
She brought it to her lips and sniffed. "He was trying to drug Fu Bing."
Lu Yuan cursed. "You dare to have designs on Fu Ying! I’ll beat you to death!"
He started kicking Jiang Linyuan repeatedly.
Jiang Linyuan, who frequented establishments of debauchery, had long since hollowed out his body. He was completely incapable of resisting and could only take the beating passively.
Lu Yuan continued to kick and curse.
"How dare you have filthy thoughts about my goddess!"
"Damn it! Do you think she’s someone you’re worthy of even thinking about?!"
"Fuck! My goddess has been sullied by your thoughts!"
Lu Yuan grew angrier with each curse.
Seeing that Lu Yuan was about to kick him to death, Shen Linxing warned, "Easy now. If he dies, you’ll bring trouble to Fu Bing."
Lu Yuan instantly sobered up and slowly retracted the foot he was about to kick out again.
Jiang Linyuan, beaten black and blue with a swollen face, was slipping into semi-consciousness.
"What do we do now?" Lu Yuan looked at her.
"I think we should tell the Captain. It’s not right for us to have snuck out without informing him," Shen Linxing suggested.
The thought that Jiang Linyuan had just been fantasizing about her prompted her to kick him a few times as well.
Jiang Linyuan fell completely unconscious.
Lu Yuan said, "You call the Captain. I’m scared he’ll scold me."
"Weren’t you kicking him pretty fiercely just now? Scared already?"
"The Captain didn’t even want to go on stage when we won the championship. If I provoke him again, he might actually chop me up and feed me to the dogs."
Shen Linxing didn’t refuse and called Qin Jinhai.
"Speak."
Qin Jinhai’s icy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Lu Yuan and I came looking for Fu Bing but found out she had already checked out and moved. We also encountered a man who was trying to harm Fu Bing. Lu Yuan and I have already beaten him up. Now, we’re asking how you want to handle this?" Shen Linxing explained.
After Shen Linxing finished speaking, she felt a chill emanate from the other end of the phone, making both her and Lu Yuan shiver.
「After a long pause.」
The man on the other end finally spoke again. "Send a few photos over."
Shen Linxing took several pictures and quickly sent them.
Qin Jinhai stared at them for a long time before recognizing Jiang Linyuan.
"You two can leave now. I’ll have someone take care of it."
Hearing the words "take care of it," Lu Yuan asked, his heart trembling with fear, "Is it the kind of ’take care of it’ that I’m thinking of?"
"Do you have an issue with that?"
"No, no! We’ll leave right away."
Lu Yuan dragged Shen Linxing outside.
Only when they were out of the guesthouse complex did Shen Linxing shake off Lu Yuan’s hand. "Are you really that afraid of the Captain?"
"How could I not be?" Lu Yuan hunched his shoulders slightly. "Haven’t you noticed? The Captain treats Fu Ying differently from others. During our first meeting, as soon as Fu Ying appeared, the Captain’s gaze inexplicably softened. He never used to let anyone sit next to him, but whether it’s in meetings or on the competition field, Fu Ying always sits beside him."
Only after Lu Yuan’s reminder did Shen Linxing feel that something was amiss. Could the Captain have a secret crush on Fu Bing?
"It’s very likely. Otherwise, he could have just handed that bastard over to us to deal with. There would have been no need for the Captain to get involved personally," Lu Yuan said with an air of conviction.
Shen Linxing poked his head. "I didn’t expect you to be so observant."
"The Captain and Fu Ying are my idols; of course, I pay extra attention to them," Lu Yuan said, looking at the network of roads stretching out before them. "So, where are we headed next? We went through all that trouble to find Fu Ying’s address, only to discover she’s moved."
"Let’s go back to the hotel President Ren arranged for me first. Fu Bing saved President Ren, so if he invites her to a meal, she should come," Shen Linxing suggested.
Lu Yuan set the GPS and followed its directions.
Getting lost himself was one thing, but if he got Shen Linxing lost too, she would probably poison him.
Qin Jinhai ordered Mu He, "Tie up Jiang Linyuan, throw him into the trunk of Gu Yazheng’s car, and make sure to intentionally leave evidence that implicates Gu Yazheng."
"Understood. I’ll get right on it."
Qin Jinhai paused. "How is she?"
It was self-evident whom he meant by "she."
"Miss Fu seems no different from usual, except that she often stares blankly into space when she’s alone. She doesn’t seem happy," Mu He replied.
Qin Jinhai’s heart tightened. "I see."
Qin Jinhai gazed into the deep darkness, his eyes still fixed in the direction where Fu Bing was.
She is suffering, and the reason for her suffering is simple.
She hates him, and at the same time, she loves him.
If it were only hate, she wouldn’t be in such a dilemma; she could just take her revenge on him directly.
Qin Jinhai didn’t feel happy knowing he was still in her heart.
Instead, his heart ached for her—ached that she had changed from someone who once freely expressed her joys and sorrows to her current silence.
Even with people she trusts by her side, she cannot bring herself to speak.
Her experiences have drained her of the ability to confide in others.
Can he ever bring back the person she used to be?
If he can, how much time will it take?
「Late at night.」
Jiang Linshan’s phone rang.
Groggy, Jiang Linshan answered her phone and immediately screamed.
Startled awake from his dream by her scream, Ren Shu cursed impatiently, "What are you screaming about in the middle of the night?"
"Lin Yuan... Lin Yuan, he..." Jiang Linshan couldn’t continue and handed her phone to Ren Shu.
After Ren Shu saw the contents, he was seething with anger. "Gu Yazheng is far too arrogant!"
Gu Yazheng had sent several pictures, all of Jiang Linyuan.
Jiang Linyuan was curled up in the trunk of a car, covered in wounds and bruises.
Jiang Linshan’s eyes reddened with anger. "Husband, what should we do now? Gu Yazheng has gone too far, beating our Xiaoyuan so badly! He’s being utterly unreasonable. If this matter gets out, everyone will be able to walk all over us in the future!"
For most of his life, Ren Shu had been overshadowed by Ren Ye; all the Ren Family’s glory belonged to Ren Ye.
His biggest pet peeve was people disrespecting him or looking down on him.
Jiang Linshan’s words had precisely hit his sore spot.
"We absolutely cannot let this go. If Gu Yazheng could find out in such a short time that Xiaoyuan’s car was the one that hit Gu Sining, then he must also know that Xiaoyuan wasn’t the driver. He’s not looking for the real culprit but is coming after Xiaoyuan to cause trouble. It’s clear he’s trying to pick a fight," Ren Shu analyzed. "He’s definitely also factoring in the trouble Ren Zhi caused at his hospital last time."
"What should we do now? Xiaoyuan has been beaten so badly, he might be in mortal danger! He’s the Jiang Family’s only heir. We can’t let anything happen to him. If something happens to him, the Jiang Family is finished!"
Ren Shu’s eyes darted around. "I have a plan!"
