Chapter 21: A Dangerous Situation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Someone with personal assets that exceeded $100 million?
Wind Chen let out a genuine laugh upon hearing this and couldn’t be bothered with Fae Lee at all.
Zander Ye smiled faintly and said, “Fae, let’s head back. Get into the car.”
“Sure. I’ll talk Queena around once we get home.”
Fae Lee opened the door and got into the car.
Inside the car, Fae Lee could tell that she was riding in a new car, so she immediately asked in surprise, “Uncle Zander, this car is not bad at all! How much did you buy it for?”
“It wasn’t too expensive, just a little under a million,” said Zander Ye.
“Wow, Uncle Zander, you’ve really struck it rich.”
Fae Lee was really astonished.
“Hoho, it’s nothing, really.” Zander Ye gave a relaxed and casual smile.
Wind Chen was driving and twitched his lips, but he didn’t expose Zander Ye’s lie.
At the same time, he felt that Zander Ye and Sue Lee were exactly the same type of person. They were both disgusting.
“Uncle Zander, I’m sure you wouldn’t have given this car to this guy here, right?” asked Fae Lee suspiciously.
Zander Ye laughed when he heard this. “How could I give this car to him? Isn’t it such a waste for him to drive such a nice car? I’m the one who usually drives it.”
“That sounds about right. I think that buying him a van is enough,” Fae Lee purposely made a dig at Wind Chen.
“That’s exactly what I think too!” Zander Ye burst out laughing.
Fae Lee laughed along as well.
Wind Chen frowned and quietly said, “I bought this car. The same day I bought it, I gave it to Queena’s father as compensation for the living expenses I incurred over the last two years in the Ye house.”
“Wha—?” Fae Lee was momentarily stunned.
The look in Zander Ye’s eyes turned cold. “What nonsense are you talking about, Wind? How could you be so shameless?”
“I still have the papers from the purchase of the car. Want to check whose name is on those papers?” Wind Chen smiled.
Zander Ye’s expression darkened. He didn’t know how to rebut anymore.
He didn’t expect Wind Chen to slap him in the face directly.
Actually, Wind Chen didn’t intend to expose Zander Ye’s lie. But when Zander Ye’s words became more offensive, Wind Chen couldn’t hold himself back anymore.
When Fae Lee saw that Zander Ye didn’t argue back, she realized that Wind Chen was really the one who bought the car.
But this fact alone wasn’t enough to change Fae Lee’s opinion of Wind Chen. On the contrary, she despised him even more as she snapped coldly, “There’s nothing for you to be so smug about. Even if you were the one who bought the car, the money you spent was from Queena.”
“That’s exactly what I wanted to say,” said Zander Ye shamelessly.
Wind Chen sighed and didn’t speak anymore.
There was no point in talking to those who had no shame at all.
After reaching home, Wind Chen went upstairs for a nap.
Sue Lee threw Wind Chen a glance and said in a sarcastic voice, “You’re getting very arrogant these days, huh. We’ve got a guest here. Aren’t you going to cook?”
“I don’t feel well, so I’m going to take a rest,” replied Wind Chen.
“I’m the one who doesn’t feel well! When I see how you’re not cooking, I feel very unwell!” said Sue Lee in a loud voice.
Wind Chen frowned and was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at his phone. It was a call from Queena Ye.
“Queena, aren’t you very busy now?” asked Wind Chen with a smile after picking up the phone.
“Wind, Morning Glory Karaoke, Room 7! Save…save me!”
“Ms. Ye, you’ve been in the toilet for way too long, haven’t you? Hurry up and come out. Mr. Wang is getting anxious,” a voice he didn’t recognize called out from elsewhere.
Du…du…
The call was cut off abruptly.
Wind Chen’s expression fell, and he turned around to look at Zander Ye. “Give me the car keys. I need the car.”
“Tell me what happened first.” Zander Ye frowned.
“Who cares? Don’t give him the keys,” said Sue Lee with a nasty smile.
“That’s right. Don’t give them to him,” chimed in Fae Lee quietly.
Wind Chen took a deep breath in order to stop himself from bashing all three of them up. He then turned and dashed out of the house.
He turned on a navigation app and practically flew towards Morning Glory Karaoke.
After putting in all his effort into running, Wind Chen reached an astonishing speed and whooshed past countless pedestrians like a whirlwind.
“Did someone just run past?”
“Where? I think you need to change your glasses.”
“Huh? That’s so weird. I’m quite sure I saw someone.”
“Who on earth runs that fast? I think you’ve read too many fantasy novels.”
A young couple walking along the road was enjoying their conversation.
Meanwhile, Wind Chen had already dashed into Morning Glory Karaoke.
It would have taken a car 10 minutes to drive from the Ye house to this karaoke place, but Wind Chen got here in only five minutes.
“Hello, Sir. May I help you…wait, Sir! Sir!”
Before the person at the counter could finish speaking, Wind Chen had already run straight in to look for Room 7.
The room wasn’t hard to find, so Wind Chen reached the door very quickly. Two men in black and sunglasses stood on both sides of the door.
“You are?”
One of the men in black looked warily at Wind Chen.
“I’m going in.”
Wind Chen didn’t even stop walking.
“Stop right there and get lost!”
It only took two loud bangs in the next second for both men to end up sprawling on the floor.
Wind Chen then kicked the door open and walked in.
The music inside the room was very loud, and the first thing he saw was a man with a large pot belly and a woman in a pair of frameless glasses forcing Queena Ye to drink more alcohol. Neither of them spotted Wind Chen coming in at all.
Queena Ye’s eyes had lost focus, and her face was all red. There was obviously something very wrong with her.
Wind Chen could tell immediately that Queena Ye had been drugged.
“Mr. Wang, I…I really can’t drink anymore. I’m sorry. I’ll take my leave first.”
Queena Ye had already noticed something amiss a long time ago and tried to find a way to get out.
“Don’t go, Ms. Ye.” The bespectacled woman held onto Queena Ye and laughed loudly. “Ms. Ye, you know, if Star Cultural manages to get the support of such a huge distributor like Mr. Wang, then Star Cultural would have really hit jackpot! If you leave now, then you’d have wasted all your prior efforts.”
“I’m really sorry, but I don’t think I need his support at the moment. Chad Wang, you’re a despicable man, and I will remember you for this. Goodbye!”
Queena Ye knew that she had been drugged. If she didn’t get out of this place soon, things would only get worse. Thus, she just went all out, even if it meant falling out with this potential client.
But even though she tried her best to stay alert and get up to leave, she collapsed back onto the sofa weakly immediately after getting up. She didn’t have any strength to move at all.
“Go on, try to leave! Queena Ye, it’s your honor that I’ve taken a fancy to you! It’s not going to be easy for you to get out today. It’s easier if you just enjoy yourself instead.”
The man with a large belly, Chad Wang, stood up and started taking his clothes off.
That was the moment Wind Chen turned the music off.
The sudden silence finally caught the attention of the bespectacled woman and Chad Wang. They both turned to see Wind Chen.
“Who let you in? Didn’t I say that this room doesn’t need any service?” shouted the bespectacled woman fiercely. She clearly thought Wind Chen was a waiter of sorts.
Wind Chen walked with large strides towards the bespectacled woman and sent this wicked woman flying with a slap.
Then he bent over and gathered Queena Ye in his arms.
Queena Ye’s pretty eyes were glazed over, as if there was a layer of mist over them. Her body lay limply in Wind Chen’s arms and her fragrance was alluring.
“W-wind…”
The moment Queena Ye saw Wind Chen, the last bit of mental alertness she had disappeared. She let her guard down completely and became even giddier.
Wind Chen quickly checked her pulse and breathed a sigh of relief.
She hadn’t been hurt anywhere.
“Who are you?”
Chad Wang’s gaze was sinister and murderous.
He had nearly made the beautiful Queena Ye his, but had been interrupted at the last minute.
“Mr. Wang, since his name is Wind, then he must be Queena Ye’s useless husband,” said the bespectacled woman loudly, clutching her face after she had been slapped to the floor earlier by Wind Chen.
“Oh? How interesting, how very interesting. Young man, it’s hard being married into your wife’s family, isn’t it? Tell you what, I’ll give you a million dollars, you pass me your wife. She’s lost consciousness already anyway, so once she’s awake, you just tell her that you did manage to save her at the last moment. That’s a great plan, isn’t it?”
Chad Wang was full of confidence.
“Did you think money could solve everything?”
Wind Chen very gently placed Queena Ye onto the couch, removed his jacket, and covered her with it.
“Isn’t it so? What, the amount isn’t enough? How about two million dollars?”
Chad Wang increased the amount and didn’t bother hiding the arrogance in his eyes.
“Is two million enough to buy your life?”
Wind Chen stretched his neck, stood up, then thrust a palm towards the bespectacled woman from afar.
Before the bespectacled woman knew what was going on, she suddenly turned into smoke and ashes. It was as if she had never appeared in this room at all.
