All of a sudden, Jiang Chen let go of Song Shi’s hand. He was very familiar with Song Shi’s expression. There was no mistaking the desperation in her expression.

Whether it was in his previous life or this life, he had seen this expression way too much.

He tossed the whip aside. “Since the engagement has been announced, what are you worried about?”

Hearing this, Song Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her tone softened. “Jiang Chen, I really love you.”

She placed her hand on his shoulder and leaned her head over gently. “As long as we’re engaged, Yuan Shu will come back. I swear.”

When Jiang Chen thought about how his subordinates’ investigations had turned up nothing, and they couldn’t even find Wang Ping at all, Jiang Chen felt irritated.

In the end, he only said one word, “Okay.”

Yuan Shu would definitely be safe before the engagement.

When Yuan Shu woke up, she felt a burning pain in her throat. She struggled to get up and was supported by an old granny.

Granny struggled to speak in broken Mandarin. It took Yuan Shu a long time to understand that she had been washed ashore and saved by a kind-hearted fisherman.

However, when Yuan Shu asked where she was now, the granny told her that she was hundreds of kilometers away from the city. The nearest station could only be reached by mountain roads, and it would take at least an entire day.

Yuan Shu wanted to get off the bed, but her head sank and she fainted again.

On the boat, Wang Ping didn’t stay any longer. Wang Dong was seriously injured, so he had to send his brother to the hospital first.

In order to take revenge on Yuan Shu, Wang Ping sent the edited video to Song Shi. Now, getting the last sum of money was his priority.

Song Shi didn’t disappoint him. She transferred the money quickly.

However, less than half an hour after arriving at the hospital, Wang Ping was captured by Shi Xiao’s men.

Jiang Chen told Shi Xiao the clues he had found, and Shi Xiao used the public security system to find Wang Ping and Wang Dong.

Just as Wang Dong registered in the hospital, Shi Xiao rushed to the hospital and Wang Ping was blocked in the ward.

“What do you guys want to do? This is the hospital!” Wang Ping held the test results nervously. Just as he was about to wait in front of the operating theater, he was stopped by Shi Xiao’s men.

The moment Shi Xiao pushed open the ward door, he was so frightened that he couldn’t speak.

“Where is she?” Shi Xiao asked in a cold voice.

Wang Ping pretended not to understand and continued to walk out. “My brother’s head is injured and he’s undergoing surgery now. You’ve found the wrong person. I have to hurry…”

After the bodyguard pulled him back, Wang Ping staggered and fell onto the bed. “What are you doing? My brother is still in surgery!”

“If you don’t want him to die, tell me where Yuan Shu is!” Shi Xiao’s voice was filled with frustration. “Tell me Yuan Shu’s whereabouts and your brother’s surgery will continue. Otherwise, he’ll just lie on the operating table.”

Wang Ping’s eyes were red with hatred when he heard this blatant threat, but he was no match for the burly men in the ward at all.

He had a premonition that Yuan Shu wasn’t to be trifled with. It was all his fault for being muddle-headed and causing such huge trouble now.

However, in just a few seconds, he immediately had a countermeasure.

Since President Shi cared so much about Yuan Shu, as long as he didn’t reveal Yuan Shu’s whereabouts, Shi Xiao wouldn’t dare to do anything to the two brothers.

At the thought of this, Wang Ping finally had some confidence. “Don’t scare me. There are lawsuits for medical malpractice. Moreover, how do you know that if my brother dies, Yuan Shu will still live?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Xiao picked up the water bottle at the side and threw it hard. “If she dies, you guys will die with her.”

Wang Ping was hit quite badly, but he still held back from shouting and said fiercely, “It’s fine if you want her whereabouts. Hurry up and get someone to operate on my brother. In addition, I want five million yuan. When the money is transferred, I’ll tell you where she is!”

At this moment, Wang Ping had already made up his mind. Even if he died, he would leave a sum of money for Wang Dong to live worry-free for the rest of his life.

Meanwhile, the matter of Yuan Shu being kidnapped was already known by quite a few people. Lin Xi also obtained the current progress of the investigation from Zhao Cheng.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, she slipped straight to the changing room and called that person.

“Go and investigate a hooligan called Wang Ping and see where he has been for the past two days. He was the one who kidnapped Yuan Shu.”

Afraid that someone would walk in, Lin Xi looked at the entrance of the changing room carefully.

“Yes, I’m sure. Shi Xiao has already gone to look for her. I heard that he’s in the hospital.”

“Yuan Shu is definitely not in the hospital. Hurry up and look for her, or it will be too late!”

After hanging up, only then did Lin Xi heave a sigh of relief. She really hoped that Yuan Shu would die just like that..
