Deeply in Love: The Two-Faced CEO is Too Clingy

Chapter 419 Almost Kidnapped

Chapter 419 Almost Kidnapped

That person was a thief.

Xu Shaojun was the first to turn and chase after the thief.

"Night, hurry and help catch the thief."

Yue Yirou released Yan Ye's arm, and after a slight hesitation, Yan Ye chased after her.

The thief ran very fast and had already reached the other side of the road.

Yan Ye was also very fast; in the blink of an eye, he passed Xu Shaojun and crossed the road to chase after the thief.

Xu Shaojun wanted to cross the road to help chase the thief, but he accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, which scared Jiang Mengru and Yue Yirou so much that their faces turned pale instantly.

"Shaojun..."

"Young Master Xu..."

The two rushed over and together helped Xu Shaojun up from the ground.

"Shaojun, are you alright? Luckily, no car came by just now." Jiang Mengru threw herself into Xu Shaojun's arms and hugged him tightly.

"I'm fine." Xu Shaojun adjusted his glasses and gently pushed Jiang Mengru's shoulder. "Mengru, let go of me quickly. The thief hasn't been caught yet. I'll go help catch the thief."

"Don't chase after him anymore. You're all hurt like this, what's the point of chasing after a thief?" Jiang Mengru let go of him, but wouldn't let him chase after the thief again. She lifted up his sleeves and pants to check if he was injured. When she saw the bruises on his arms and knees, she immediately felt heartbroken and burst into tears.

"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing. Don't cry, Miss Yue will laugh at you," Xu Shaojun comforted Jiang Mengru, putting his arm around her.

Seeing how loving they were, Yue Yirou was worried about Yan Ye, but also happy for them.

“Although it’s just a superficial injury, it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Mengru, why don’t you take Young Master Xu to the hospital to treat his wound? I’ll wait here for Ye to come back.”

Jiang Mengru sniffed and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go to the hospital with Shaojun first. Yirou, be careful."

"Yes, I will."

Yue Yirou watched as Jiang Mengru helped Xu Shaojun walk towards their car. Her gaze inadvertently fell on a man who was opening a car door and preparing to get in, and she was immediately stunned.

How could that man's back view be so similar to Lu Tingyun's?

Has Lu Tingyun already returned to China?

Yue Yirou wanted to run over to find out if it was Lu Tingyun, but she remembered the promise she had made to Yan Ye, and in the end she didn't take a step.

I stood there, frozen, watching the person get into the car and drive away.

At this moment, Jiang Mengru also helped Xu Shaojun to the car. Yue Yirou was about to turn around to see if Yan Ye had returned, but as soon as she turned around, a van suddenly stopped in front of her, and two masked men quickly got out of the van, trying to carry Yue Yirou into the car.

"Help! Help!"

Yue Yirou reacted quickly; in her desperation, she grabbed a nearby lamppost and shouted for help.

Just as Jiang Mengru and Xu Shaojun opened the car door to get in, they heard Yue Yirou shout for help. Jiang Mengru turned around, paused for a moment, then screamed loudly, followed by shouting for help.

Xu Shaojun was also stunned for a moment. A few seconds later, he took a step and limped over.

Xia, the driver who was waiting for Yan Ye and Yue Yirou in the Rolls-Royce Phantom, heard Yue Yirou's cries for help and quickly opened the car door and ran out.

"Young lady..."

Yue Yirou held on tightly, and the two masked men couldn't get her into the car right away. Just as they were hesitating whether to knock her unconscious, a sharp pain suddenly shot through her leg. She screamed and fell to the ground. Looking down at her leg, she saw that she had been shot.

Dragging their injured legs, the two men painfully climbed into the car, which sped away.

Xia was both the driver and the bodyguard. He had just drawn his gun, ready to shoot the assailant, when he saw that the assailant had already been shot and fallen to the ground. He glanced across the street, put his gun away, and turned back to the car.

Yue Yirou clung to the lamppost, her face pale and still in shock. She looked up and saw a figure running towards her from across the street, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Ye…” When Yan Ye ran up to her, she let go of the lamppost, called his name with tears in her eyes, and threw herself into his arms.

Just now, she was almost kidnapped again, and she almost had to be separated from him again.

Yan Ye held her tightly, not letting go for a long time.

His heart was still pounding, and he was extremely flustered.

She couldn't imagine what would have happened if he had come back any later.

Fortunately, he returned in time.

"Yi Rou, are you alright?" Jiang Mengru helped Xu Shaojun walk up to them.

Yue Yirou was still holding Yan Ye, leaning against him. She didn't say anything, but just shook her head.

"Who were those people just now? Why did they arrest you?" Jiang Mengru asked.

“Yes, Miss Yue, who are those people? Do you know them?” Xu Shaojun chimed in.

Yue Yirou remembered the man she had just seen who had a similar back view to Lu Tingyun. She didn't know if that person was Lu Tingyun, but she thought it was very likely that Lu Tingyun was the one who did it, because she couldn't think of anyone else who would kidnap her.

“I don’t know them. As for why they kidnapped me, I think—” she paused, looked up at Yan Ye, “I just saw someone whose back looked a lot like Lu Tingyun’s. I think—it might be him who did it.”

It's not just a possibility, it was Lu Tingyun who did it.

Yan Ye was certain, but he didn't tell Yue Yirou.

"Who is Lu Tingyun? Why did he kidnap you?" Jiang Mengru asked.

"He...he is..."

“They are my enemies,” Yan Ye said through gritted teeth.

After her initial shock, Jiang Mengru said with a hint of mockery, "No wonder. I was wondering why our Yi Rou, who is so kind and dutiful, could possibly offend anyone. It turns out it's all thanks to Young Master Ye."

"Mengru, say less." Xu Shaojun tugged at Jiang Mengru's sleeve, changing the subject, "Young Master Ye, has the thief been caught?"

"No." Yan Ye simply uttered two words to answer his question, without mentioning that he had given up chasing the thief and ran back because he suddenly had a bad feeling.

His hunch proved to be correct.

Now it seems that the thief stealing things was just a play arranged by Lu Tingyun.

Fortunately, he didn't pursue the matter any further.

Yan Ye shifted his gaze back to Yue Yirou and tightened his arms around her waist.

"Was that thief arranged by Young Master Ye's enemy?" Jiang Mengru said, half-sarcastically and half-reproachfully.

"Mengru, actually..."

Yue Yirou wanted to explain, but Yan Ye suddenly picked her up and said, "Yirou, let's go home."

He knew she wanted to explain to Jiang Mengru and speak well of him. To him, her good intentions were enough. He didn't care at all how bad his image was in Jiang Mengru's eyes.

"Mengru, Ye and I are going back now. You should take Young Master Xu to the hospital to treat his wounds as soon as possible," Yue Yirou said to Jiang Mengru.

"Hmph." Jiang Mengru snorted angrily at Yan Ye's retreating figure.

"Mengru, why are you like this again? I know you don't like Ye Shao, but you can't be so obvious about it. Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against?" Xu Shaojun sighed and raised his hand to rub her head.
