Chapter 22: A Huge Misunderstanding
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This move of Wind Chen’s made him look like the devil’s incarnate. Chad Wang had never seen anything so otherworldly and so terrifying before. He peed his pants and shuddered all over as he said, “Bro…Bro, don’t…don’t kill me!”
“You don’t want me to kill you just because you say so? Ordering me around now?”
Wind Chen walked closer to Chad Wang.
Chad Wang’s scalp was all numb and lost all the complacency he showed earlier. He fell to his knees and started pleading as tears streamed down his face, “I have a lot of money! Bro, I was wrong. I know I was in the wrong! Just tell me how much you want! I’m willing to give you any amount!”
“I only want your life.”
The look in Wind Chen’s eyes was ruthless.
Nobody in this world was allowed to bully Queena Ye.
Anyone who even tried was destined to die.
Chad Wang could see that Wind Chen was really going to kill him, so he fell into an abyss of terror. He gritted his teeth, and his voice trembled as he said, “It was Phil Loong who told me to do this! Phil Loong told me that Star Cultural was now going through a major crisis and instructed me to contact Queena Ye to discuss a partnership with her company. That’s why…that’s why we’re here tonight.”
“Also, also, Phil Loong promised to pay me $30 million! I was just following Phil Loong’s instructions! He’s the mastermind. If you need to kill someone, kill Phil Loong! It has nothing to do with me!”
“Phil Loong?”
The glint in Wind Chen’s eyes grew cold.
He didn’t expect this to be Phil Loong’s doing.
It seemed like he had been too merciful to Phil Loong at Old Master Ye’s birthday banquet the last time.
“Phil Loong even said he’s going to take over the Ye family.” Chad Wang decided to spill the beans on everything he knew to save his own skin.
“Remember to be a good person in your next lifetime.”
Wind Chen’s palm passed over Chad Wang, and he instantly turned to smoke and ashes as well, leaving no trace of a human behind.
There was no way Wind Chen would let Chad Wang live.
After that, Wind Chen turned to carry Queena Ye, then walked out of the room.
The karaoke lounge’s staff probably felt that something was amiss, so they rushed into the room at this juncture.
When they saw that the entire room only had Wind Chen and the unconscious Queena Ye, one of the female staff couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, where are the other two customers?”
“No idea.”
Wind Chen shook his head and didn’t even stop walking.
“I’m sorry, Sir, but I believe this lady is probably drunk and you can’t just carry her away like this. We need to verify who you are in case…”
“I’m her husband.” Wind Chen had a frosty expression on his face as he said, “My wife was drugged in your karaoke lounge. If I had come just a minute later, her fate tonight might have ended in tragedy. Count yourselves lucky that I didn’t make life hard for you guys. How dare you stop me from rescuing my own wife?”
“Huh?”
The female staff was a little confused.
The other staff just kept their heads down and didn’t say anything.
In reality, they had seen many cases of drugging like this.
Wind Chen held Queena Ye in his arms and left the karaoke lounge in no time.
As he walked, he secretly gathered his own qi, or spirit energy, in order to expel the drugs from Queena Ye’s body.
But the drugs used were too powerful, and Wind Chen’s spirit energy wasn’t able to get rid of everything at one shot. If he used too much spirit energy on her, it would either hurt her or even kill her, and that was an even worse thing to do.
“Hubby, I…I feel…so awful…”
Queena Ye mumbled deliriously as she clung to Wind Chen’s neck.
Wind Chen’s heart pounded even faster than before. He took a deep breath and made a phone call.
“Miss Chinn, are you at your clinic now?” asked Wind Chen in a low voice.
He called Lola Chinn.
“Yup, I’m here now. What’s up, my dear boyfriend? Why did you suddenly think of calling me?” teased Lola Chinn.
“Someone drugged my wife, and her condition is rather urgent. I’m on my way to your clinic right now. Could you help me to prepare some herbs beforehand?”
“Sure, of course, I’ll do that. Tell me what you need,” Lola Chinn’s voice became serious.
Wind Chen rattled off a few herbs and hung up before rushing straight for Revival Hall.
Ten minutes later, Wind Chen reached Revival Hall with Queena Ye in his arms.
He immediately got down to giving Queena Ye treatment using the acupuncture needles that Lola Chinn had in her clinic.
After the acupuncture session, all the toxins inside Queena Ye’s body had been purged. Her unusually red face now looked rather pale instead.
Wind Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He just needed to give Queena Ye some medicine to drink, and she would be perfectly fine after taking one or two days of rest.
“Looks like you’re serious about her after all,” said Lola Chinn quietly as she watched from the side.
“Of course,” replied Wind Chen. “If not for her, I would have left the Ye family a long time ago.”
“Then who am I to you?” Lola Chinn looked at Wind Chen.
Wind Chen froze for a while. “Miss Chinn, don’t tell me you’re serious about this? Look, the other day, we were just pretending to be a couple in front of your grandmother. I did that only because her heart is weak, and she cannot be agitated.”
“I don’t care. I’m serious.” Lola Chinn took a step forward to grab hold of Wind Chen’s arm. Her bright and pretty eyes stared fixedly at Wind Chen. “Either you divorce Queena Ye and be with me, or you are taking us both. You pick.”
“I only love Queena. Please stop this nonsense,” said Wind Chen very firmly.
“You’re such a scoundrel! I don’t care what you say. I’m going to stick to you forever.”
Lola Chinn lunged straight into Wind Chen’s embrace.
Wind Chen tried to push Lola Chinn away, but when he did that, it seemed like his hands had touched a spot that he shouldn’t have.
“What are both of you doing?”
A frail yet furious voice suddenly rang out from nowhere.
That was Queena Ye’s voice.
Wind Chen got a fright and took a step back hurriedly so as to keep his distance from Lola Chinn, then he turned to look at Queena Ye.
“Queena, it’s not what you think it is. Just now…”
“You don’t have to explain.”
Queena Ye’s eyes turned red almost immediately.
She never thought that she would wake up to see a scene that would nearly drive her to the brink of madness.
“Ms. Ye, I’m the one who approached him first because I like him. I thought that Wind lived a very miserable life in your family, and I could give him real happiness.”
“But now, it seems like I was wrong. Wind really loves you. If my actions have made you unhappy, you can hit me or scold me. I’m fine with that.”
Lola Chinn looked straight at Queena Ye and just spoke her mind.
But Queena Ye didn’t believe a single word she said.
She only felt that Lola Chinn was purposely trying to cover up what happened just now!
“Miss Chinn, I do agree that everyone is entitled to like whoever they want, and I won’t blame you for feeling that way. But I hope that you will watch your words and actions, and make sure you don’t cross the line. If you cross the line, that’s as good as insulting me and insulting my family. The Ye family might not be doing as well as we used to, but it doesn’t mean that we’re pushovers either. Please watch yourself.”
After saying her piece, Queena Ye got up to leave.
She was still very weak and stumbled a little as she walked, but she was clearly determined to leave.
Wind Chen glanced at Lola Chinn, sighed, and said, “In any case, thanks for your help tonight.”
After that, Wind Chen caught up with Queena Ye and tried to support her while she walked, but she pushed him away coldly.
Wind Chen knew that the misunderstanding this time was really huge, and he was getting a headache just thinking about it.
“Queena, I don’t know if Lola Chinn really likes me or not, but it’s true that she was the one who approached me, and I couldn’t stop her in time. I swear, I have no feelings towards her at all,” Wind Chen tried his best to explain.
“You’ve already hugged her. What’s there left to explain? I don’t want to hear any of this.”
Queena Ye covered her ears.
“Then what do you want me to do?”
“I don’t need you to do anything.” Queena Ye continued to walk unsteadily along the empty streets. It was so cold that she was shivering, and her face was pale.
“There isn’t even basic trust between us both. Looks like we’re really not suitable for each other after all. Let’s get a divorce,” said Wind Chen miserably.
“You can forget about that.” Queena Ye immediately became worked up. “Are you thinking that once you’ve divorced me, you can openly be together with Lola Chinn? You can forget about it! I don’t want a divorce! I’m not getting one!”
Wind Chen felt his stomach churn. This misunderstanding had really blown up.
When he saw that Queena Ye was shivering from the cold, he quietly went forward, scooped her up, and continued walking.
“You d*ucheb*g! Let go of me! I can walk by myself!” Queena Ye struggled.
“If you keep this up, I’m going to strip you bare and abandon you on the streets,” said Wind Chen with a darkened expression.
Queena Ye immediately shut up and kept still. But her pretty eyes were glaring indignantly at Wind Chen.
