Chapter 1060: Money Can't Solve It
Cheng Yunchuan's face darkened instantly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Want to reconcile? That's not that easy!" He hugged Jiang Mubai into his arms, "Mubai, don't be afraid, leave this matter to me."
His tone was gentle but full of unquestionable firmness, which instantly calmed Jiang Mubai's heart. She raised her head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan's determined eyes, and suddenly realized that perhaps this matter was not as simple as she thought... What was Cheng Yunchuan's brother, Cheng Yunze, planning?
Cheng Yunchuan's face was terribly gloomy, like the dark clouds before a storm. He hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, his knuckles turned white, and veins on the back of his hands bulged. "Mubai, don't be afraid, I'm here." His voice was low and hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor.
Jiang Mubai nestled in his arms, feeling the rise and fall of his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and his originally flustered heart gradually calmed down. "Yunchuan, I... I just feel disgusted. He actually wants to use money to solve this matter..."
"Don't even think about it!" Cheng Yunchuan stood up suddenly, his tone cold, "I won't let him succeed." He picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Aze, there's no need to be polite to him about Lu Jingshen. I want him to know that some things can't be solved with money."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. He turned around and gently stroked Jiang Mubai's cheek, "Mubai, believe me, I will take care of everything and won't let you get hurt again."
Jiang Mubai nodded, her eyes slightly red. She knew Cheng Yunchuan was doing this for her own good, but she always had an uneasy feeling in her heart, as if something was about to happen.
In the next few days, Cheng Yunchuan stayed by Jiang Mubai's side almost every step of the way, fearing that she would have another accident. He turned down all his work and even turned off his cell phone, concentrating on taking care of Jiang Mubai.
They cooked together, watched movies together, chatted together, and took walks together, just like an ordinary couple, enjoying the rare quiet time. However, this peace did not last long.
One night, Cheng Yunchuan received a mysterious phone call. The voice on the other end of the phone was low and hoarse, with a hint of warning. "Cheng Yunchuan, you'd better not interfere in Lu Jingshen's affairs, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
Cheng Yunchuan sneered, "Who are you? How dare you threaten me?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I know a lot of your secrets." The voice on the other end of the phone paused and continued, "For example, your relationship with Jiang Mubai, for example, your brother's plan..."
Cheng Yunchuan's face instantly turned pale, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that you'd better be sensible and stop meddling in other people's business." The voice on the other end of the phone was a little joking, "Otherwise, I will make you regret it."
After that, the call was hung up. Cheng Yunchuan held the phone, and veins popped up on the back of his hand. He didn't know who the other party was, nor what the other party's purpose was, but he knew that this matter was definitely not simple.
He walked to the window and looked at the bustling city night scene outside, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. He always felt that an invisible net was covering him, and he didn't know how to break free.
At this moment, Jiang Mubai came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel, with wet hair draped over her shoulders, looking particularly charming. "Yunchuan, what are you thinking about?"
Cheng Yunchuan turned around and looked at Jiang Mubai, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He walked up to her, gently embraced her in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Mubai, if one day I have to leave you, will you hate me?"
Jiang Mubai was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at him in confusion. "Why did you leave me? What happened?"
Cheng Yunchuan didn't answer, but just hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. "Mu Bai, promise me that no matter what happens, you will take good care of yourself."
His tone was gentle but with a hint of despair, which made Jiang Mubai's heart sink suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind... At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang, breaking the eerie silence in the room.
The doorbell rang again, and Jiang Mubai subconsciously grabbed the corner of Cheng Yunchuan's clothes. Cheng Yunchuan gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her to be at ease, then walked to the door and opened it.
Standing at the door was a man in a black suit and sunglasses, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly, but Cheng Yunchuan sensed a hint of danger from the cold aura emanating from him.
"Mr. Cheng, our boss would like to invite you over." The man in black said in a cold tone, leaving no room for doubt.
Cheng Yunchuan frowned, "Who is your boss?"
The man in black did not answer, but just made a "please" gesture.
Cheng Yunchuan glanced at Jiang Mubai behind him, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He knew that if he left, he might never come back.
"Yunchuan..." Jiang Mubai's eyes were full of worry.
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and smiled calmly, "It's okay, I'll be back soon." He turned to the man in black and said, "Let's go."
The man in black brought Cheng Yunchuan to a private club. The club was luxuriously decorated, but the atmosphere was extremely depressing. Cheng Yunchuan was taken to a room where a middle-aged man was sitting with a glass of red wine in his hand, looking at him with interest.
"Mr. Cheng, long time no see." The middle-aged man put down his wine glass, his tone gentle, but with a hint of irresistible majesty.
"Who are you?" Cheng Yunchuan asked straight to the point.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I know a lot of your secrets." The middle-aged man smiled, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. "For example, your relationship with Jiang Mubai, for example, your brother's plan..."
Cheng Yunchuan's heart trembled. He knew that he had fallen into the other party's trap.
"What do you want?" Cheng Yunchuan asked with forced calmness.
"It's simple. I want you to leave Jiang Mubai." The middle-aged man said in a cold tone, leaving no room for doubt.
"Impossible!" Cheng Yunchuan refused without even thinking about it.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, you'd better think it over carefully. You are in a very dangerous situation now. If you don't agree, I can't guarantee Jiang Mubai's safety."
Cheng Yunchuan clenched his fists, veins popping out on the back of his hands. He knew he had no choice.
"Okay, I promise you." Cheng Yunchuan said gritting his teeth.
"A wise choice." The middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction, "I will arrange for someone to send you away. Remember, never appear in front of Jiang Mubai again."
Cheng Yunchuan didn't say anything and turned to leave the room. He didn't know where he was going or what he should do. He only knew that he had lost Jiang Mubai, the person he loved most.
