Chapter 409 - Weirong, I Would Come to Save You Right Away

When Chen Chen knew Song Chunli had been locked up, it was already half a month later.

“What? She hasn’t been released yet?”

Jiang Rui turned the steering wheel, “When she finishes her cursing, she will be released.”

At first, Song Chunli thought they were just threatening her, but she was locked for three whole days. On the fourth day, Jiang Qianren went to see her and told her that they decided to send her abroad and would not let her come back. Of course, Song Chunli didn’t agree. If she left, it would mean she lost the game. So she wouldn’t stop crying and shouting.

She was locked in a separate room with a television and an air conditioner. Except for that she couldn’t go out, it felt like living in a hotel. Jiang Qianren could only let her stay there and tell her that she could come out if she agreed to go abroad.

“Will she disagree till she dies?”

“No.” Jiang Rui smiled to her, “She won’t be able to stand it for a few more days.”

Chen Chen didn’t understand, “It is said that the living conditions are pretty nice?”

“She has to eat the same food every day.” Jiang Rui said, “She can hang on to that at most for a month.”

“You’re so mean!” Chen Chen smiled, revealing her teeth and concealing her eyes.

Jiang Rui parked the car, “Eat your lunch on time. I’ll pick you up in the afternoon.”

“What about Tuan Zi?” Chen Chen asked before she got out of the car, “She took Hei Zi to the Wen family.”

“Don’t worry. Wen Pintang will send her back in person.” Jiang Rui rubbed her head, “You can go now!”

Chen Chen smiled widely and waved at him. Then she turned around and found Ah Zi’s face stuck to the window.

“Wow, it’s out of shape. Who are you scaring?” Chen Chen walked in, “Why don’t you play your games today?”

Ah Zi played the games online every day in the shop without any change.

“I think… my husband in the game is a little strange.” She mumbled, “I have told you that it’s a she, right?”

Chen Chen nodded, “Yes. You told me that she changed the sex of her account because you were doing some marriage mission.”

“Right! But recently, I think she is becoming more and more manly.”

“You become foolish because you played too many games.” Chen Chen poked her head, “Let’s go and check yesterday’s income.”

Ah Zi was absent-minded for the whole day. At night, when Chen Chen was back at home, she called again.

“The friend in the game just came back from abroad and asked to see me.”

Chen Chen was worried, “How can you see the person when you don’t know who that is?”

“It seems to be a man of our age.” Ah Zi murmured to herself and hung up.

She was addicted… Chen Chen turned around and saw Jiang Rui went out of the kitchen. She shouted. “Why did you wash the dishes again? We agreed that you should cook and I shall wash the dishes.”

“No, the cleanser will corrupt your skin.” Jiang Rui gave her a bowl of mangoes with frozen yogurt poured on them.

Chen Chen took it casually and said, “It can’t be stronger than the chemicals. Besides, I can wear gloves.”

Jiang Rui took her hand to sit in the living room and his lips were upwards. Chen Chen wouldn’t react to this kind of unintentional hand-holding. He hadn’t tried a formal hand-holding with her yet. He wanted to find a chance to try.

“I take you over to give you happiness. There is no reason to let you do the work.” Jiang Rui turned on the TV and was about to ask her what she wanted to see when a dog’s bark came. Chen Chen ran to open the door and Hei Zi rushed in first.

“Bow-wow!”

Tuan Zi followed it, “Mum, Hei Zi’s claws are dirty.”

“Bow-wow!” Hei Zi sat in front of Chen Chen with one of its claws lifted.

Chen Chen bent over and wanted to take it to the restroom. But Jiang Rui frowned and stood up, “I’ll hold it.”

After they got it washed and dried, they went out of the bathroom and saw Wen Pintang sitting in the living room.

“You are better-looking in an apron than in a military uniform.” He looked at Jiang Rui smilingly. Jiang Rui took off the apron with a cold face, “Do you have anything to say?”

Wen Pintang stood up, “Let’s talk in the study.”

Jiang Rui asked him to sit down, “A thing worth your presence can’t be a good thing.”

“Haha, it’s hard to say if it’s a good thing.” Wen Pintang was very serious. “Bai Qi will marry Bai Weirong to Lu Tao.”

Jiang Rui’s eyes were shining, “He has no other choice.”

“Since you knew it. Then this time when Bai Ziqi goes back, he will probably be arranged at the highest level.” Wen Pintang’s eyes became sharp, “Your fellow, Scar, hasn’t shown up recently. Why did you assign him to follow Bai Ziqi?”

“What do you think I’ll do?” Jiang Rui looked at him, “If he doesn’t come back, everything the Bai family did will be useless.”

Wen Pintang looked at him right in the eyes for a few seconds and then suddenly smiled, “Since Bai Qi let the only son in the family follow your lead, it means he trusts you. So you won’t do that. Besides, you sent Scar there to protect him.”

“If he dies, the Bai family will fight against me. By then, it will be miserable.” Jiang Rui lifted his lips, “I don’t care about how they will fight against me. But I’m afraid that they may betray the country.”

“So I’m not afraid that you may do something there.” Wen Pintang looked at him, “You’re an army man and it’s your inner duty to protect the country. The country has offered you the biggest power, so you must do something in return.”

Jiang Rui narrowed his eyes, “You’re not my grandpa and you don’t have to act like an old man, although you are surely older than I am.”

Wen Pintang stood up. “All right. I come here in vain today.”

“Aren’t you worried?” Jiang Rui walked out with him, “The military goods has always been in the Wen family’s control. Now the Lu family may share it with you.”

“He can take it if he wants.” Wen Pintang lifted his lips, “Not everyone can resist the temptation. I hope the Lu family can.”

Jiang Rui laughed out and walked him into the elevator. When he came back, Chen Chen rushed out with the phone in hand, “Brother Xiao Rui, Ah Zi wants to kill Bear!”

“She can’t defeat Bear.” Jiang Rui calmly held her, “Be careful when you run. Don’t get tripped.”

Chen Chen shook her head heavily, “It’s not like that. Ah Zi told me that Bear pretended to be her husband in the game and treated her like a fool. Therefore, she wants to kill him!”

“Bear likes her.” Jiang Rui said.

What? Chen Chen didn’t understand.

Jiang Rui touched her head and said, “Bear likes Ah Zi but he doesn’t dare to confess his love for her. So he bought an account and played with her in the game.”

“But… but Ah Zi is very angry!” Chen Chen looked at him with suspicion, “Are you sure that Bear likes Ah Zi? They don’t look suitable for each other.”

“Ah? So tell me why are they not suitable?” Jiang Rui felt funny and looked at her.

Chen Chen signed, “Their heights! Bear is about 1.9 m while Ah Zi is only about 1.5 m. If they stand together, it will look like a father takes a daughter.”

“What difference does it make?” Jiang Rui asked.

Chen Chen was in blankness. That’s right. What was wrong about that…

“That’s enough. Let them deal with it.” Jiang Rui pointed at the calendar on the wall, “After this weekend, Tuan Zi has to go back to school. Have you got everything on the school’s admission paper?”

“Ah! No.” Chen Chen was depressed. “I forgot.”

“We can go shopping together!”

In Bai’s house.

“Grandpa, you can’t marry me to Lu Tao! I love Jiang Rui!” Bai Weirong said cryingly, “I’ll tell Lu Tao that he is my friend.”

Bai Qi’s face looked grave, “You want to marry Jiang Rui but he doesn’t want to marry you.”

“I’ll find a chance. I won’t marry the Lu family no matter what will happen.” Bai Weirong pouted. “If you force me, I will leave home.”

“Okay, I will not push you. If you don’t agree, all your credit cards will be canceled from now on. Move out of the house immediately and you will not be my granddaughter anymore.”

Bai Weirong ran out angrily. She asked Lu Tao to meet at a bar they frequented.

“You should tell your grandpa that you are not willing to marry me.” Bai Weirong held a glass of wine and looked at Lu Tao with misty eyes, “What’s that expression? Don’t tell me you want to!”

Lu Tao didn’t know what to say. “Weirong, we’ve known each other for a long time. If I like you, I would have told you.”

“It sounds uncomfortable. It’s like you are so unwilling.” Bai Weirong was that type of girl who could easily abandon others but couldn’t be abandoned. Hearing Lu Tao’s words, she felt uncomfortable again.

“Haha, what do you mean then?” Lu Tao took away the glass, “Don’t drink so much, or you’ll get drunk soon.”

Bai Weirong ordered a few more bottles of wine, “You are here if I’m drunk!”

In the past, every time Bai Weirong got drunk when they hung out, Lu Tao was the one who sent her home and he had never taken advantage of her.

“I have something to deal with and have to be away for a while.” Lu Tao looked at his watch, “I’ll be back in an hour. Will you be okay by yourself?”

Bai Weirong waved her hand, “You can go now! Everyone here knows me. Nothing could possibly happen.”

After Lu Tao left, a few people invited Bai Weirong to join a contest to drink wine. She had done this a lot and didn’t feel anything wrong about it. But after a while, those people dragged her to leave.

“Let go of me. Do you know who I am?” Bai Weirong struggled and shouted. But her voice was too low to be heard by anyone.

Until she was taken into the car, she became to feel terrified. A guy caught her mouth and fed her with a pill.

“What did you feed me?” Bai Weirong struggled to poke in her throat and tried to throw up the pill.

The man with triangular eyes smiled lasciviously, “Haha! It’s of no use. That is a strong philter and will melt the minute it meets water.”

Bai Weirong became terrified, “I am the miss in the Bai family. If you dare to touch me, my grandpa won’t let go of you!”

“Haha! After a while, you will beg us to touch you!” Another man with a shaven head looked at her smilingly, “We may not be enough to serve you. Keep your voice low then. We are in a car.”

Bai Weirong wanted to scream for help, but her body became hotter and hotter. When everything seemed a haze to her, she could barely see several men reached their hands to her.

“No… save me…” A sound appeared by her ears and someone seemed to have opened the door. Then she could vaguely see several men fighting. And a familiar voice came.

“Weirong? Weirong?”

“Lu… Lu Tao…” Bai Weirong struggled to open her eyes and panted, “Save… save me. I feel so hot, so hot!”

The man held her up, “Weirong, hang on. I’ll save you right away.”

At the same time, Jiang Rui received a call from Bear.

“Master, Bai Weirong was drugged and Lu Tao took her to the hotel.”

Jiang Rui was selecting the pencil for Tuan Zi to go to school with. He heard the news and calmly hung up the phone.

… Lu Tao, at least, you helped to get rid of that troublesome woman.
