CHAPTER 740

To say Ye Cheng was anything was angry, was an understatement.

His heartbeat thudded loudly in his chest as he wanted so much to know the idiots that did what they did and why his men were not at alert.

“How could this happen?”

“Sir, apologies, but we monitored her from a safe distance as you have asked us to do.”

“I know what I asked you to do. However, not being able to keep my wife safe does not count!”

.....

A small smile formed on Ren’s lips at Ye Cheng’s predicament but when he carefully thought about it, that smile disappeared.

“It was...”

“Connect me with the cops. Every CCTV should be working and I need every footage right from yesterday and till this moment. I want it all covering the city.”

“But sir, that would take a longer time to process.”

“I know. I need the one of today first and those covering all the routes she takes back home. Then while they have that sent, they should work on getting the others.”

“Okay, sir.”

“I need to ensure all routes are checked to find their possible hideout.”

“Got it, sir.”

“By the way, at what point was she kidnapped?”

“She was at District S, close to Apple Bakery.”

“Apple Bakery?” His face contorted into a frown at the news.

Something was not right. That did not include Li Jing’s route home so why did she go there?

“She went to get newly baked bread, sir,” the young man on the other end of the phone explained.

“Newly baked... God. Li Jing! Fine. Get what I asked and send it to Fong Wei Ling. Have them comb around for her. In the meantime, I have an interrogation to complete.”

He ended the call without a second thought.

By the time he lifted his gaze back to Ren, the latter could feel icicles forming on his skin from how dangerously Ye Cheng glared at him like a lonely delicious prey.

“I warned you,” he etched out every single word beautifully and dangerously.

“I... Ye Cheng, you have to believe me. It was not our doing.”

“Believe you? Ren, you lost that chance the second those imbeciles laid a hand on my wife.”

Ren swallowed hard but kept his eyes locked on Ye Cheng.

“Now, how do you want us to try this... Punches, electric, pure torture and agony with bones ripping, flesh tearing and blood gushing?”

A dark glint flashed in Ye Cheng’s eyes as the thought of all the wicked things he could do to him reigned in his mind.

“Anyone out there?”

“Yes sir!”

“Enter.” The drop in his voice when he said that made Ren’s heart jump into his chest.

He knew without a doubt that when Ye Cheng meant something he was going to do it, particularly because of his wife.

The door opened and a man dressed in an all-black appeared stood before him.

“Hand over his phone.”

The young man presented the phone to Ye Cheng, lowered his head and took some steps back, giving them some space.

Wasting no time, Ye Cheng immediately switched on the phone and waited for it to boot.

Once his phone came on, Ye brought it closer to his face, for it to unlock but in the end, it needed his password.

“Password,” his hypnotic voice rang out.

Still, Ren was reluctant to yield.

Not until he got a message from his boss giving him the go-ahead, he panned on staying put.

“Password!” Ye Cheng bellowed this time around. His face held no trace of a smile but one of a killer, ready to take the life of his next prey.

“No. I won’t.”

“Fine.”

He lifted his hand, ready to impale his face with another punch when the phone in his hand vibrated and several messages came in.

Both Ye Cheng and Ren whipped their heads to the phone and looked expectantly at it.

He averted his gaze back to Ren.

As much as the latter would try to hide it, Ye Cheng could tell that he was curious to know where the messages came from.

His brows knitted as he turned the phone around in his hand and peered at the screen.

All he could see was the name Boss.

There were five new messages from the man called boss but he could not view them.

“Seems to me like your boss has a hand in the kidnapping of my wife. Five new messages.”

Burrrrrzzz! Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in novelenglish.net . Fɪre

He looked at the phone to see a sixth message coming in.”

Without uttering a word, Ye Cheng arched his brow at Ren. However, Ren remained unfazed, hiding his right emotions.

“I think if you plan on speaking, now is a good chance to try and do more, don’t you think? I give you a last chance and I would pardon you.”

“Fine. Hand me my phone.”

Ye Cheng took a step back from him. His eyes remained dim as he considered whether or not to trust him.

“Really now?”

“Yes.”

“If I wanted to escape, be mischievous and all, I would have done so since.”

All he got in response to his statement was a doubtful look as Ye Cheng waited for him to convince him better.

“Try again.”

“Uh... since when did you become a doubting Thomas? Don’t you want to save your wife?”

“Fine. Then you tell me the password.”

“Hell no. and just to prove to you my point, here.” Ye Cheng stood his ground, waiting for Ren to prove to him.

“Huh you might want to take some steps back,” he advised.

Ye Cheng let out a deep sigh and did as he was told. To his surprise, Ren jumped on his feet and brought his still tied hands from the back to his front.

“Here... And I can use that spoon there to free myself,” he gestured towards the tray of food on the ground by the wall side.

“You want more evidence?” he smirked at Ye Cheng.

“No. If you could escape, why didn’t you?”

“You held Chen’an here. For me to find her, I would have to search your big mansion and probably ask your maid which would, in turn, pull too much attention to me and make escaping with an injured her, hard.”

“I see. Good, because even if you had asked the maids, none of them would have known and I know going through my bodyguards would do you no good. Only I know where she is and she is in safe hands.”

“Okay. I would take your word for it, Ye Cheng.”

“I am not a monster. Now quit stalling and input your password.”

He closed the gap between them, bringing his phone to his face as both men’s eyes held their rage.

“You are not scared that my earlier words are lies and I can use this to get you injured and escape?”

“That would be if you did not love Chen’an. I have seen it in your eyes, you do. Now just input the passwords.”

Ren reached up with both hands and inputted his passwords before taking a step back.

.....

“There you go. Do me the honours and read it out.”

Without wasting another second, Ye Cheng opened the messages when his eyes locked on the content of the last one.

“Whenever you are, they have begun their attack. You must pro...”
