“Let go of Young Master Kang right now.” Another bald man rushed over, but before his punch even landed on Yan Molun, he was already tackled to the ground. Yan Molun said lightly to the bald man, “Go back and tell your CEO Kang to bring the contract termination papers to Li Hall to retrieve his son. He can inform the media or the police but I can’t guarantee he won’t see his son’s corpse in the river tomorrow.”
Li Hall…
Upon hearing that name, the bald man shuddered. Who didn’t know Li Shaobin was the man behind this place? Li Shaobin was simply a pervert. He was ruthless and loved to fight yet he had such strong backing.
Even if Yan Molun were to beat him to death right now, he wouldn’t even dare to lay a finger on Yan Molun.
“Young… Young Master Kang, I’ll head back to get your father.” The bald man and the man with the broken arm stumbled out quickly.
“Hey, stop right there!” Kang Anhe shouted loudly. He had come back from abroad recently and didn’t know what on earth Li Hall was. “Jiang Duoyao, you better get your bodyguard to let me go right now. This is kidnapping. Don’t tarnish your reputation and end up in jail as well.”
Yan Molun ignored him completely and got Duoyao to close the door.
Duoyao felt very uneasy. “Is… is this okay?”
This was simply kidnapping in broad daylight. She didn’t think Yan Molun would be so cocky.
“Nothing will happen.” Yan Molun waved his hand. Kang Anhe shouted out loud once again and Duoyao was scared out of her wits for fear that her neighbors would alarm the security officer.
Just then, Yan Molun suddenly walked towards the broom leaning on the wall. Kang Anhe took the chance to get up and run, but he had only taken a few steps when Yan Molun hit his head hard with the broom, knocking him out.
Duoyao was dumbfounded. “You, you, you…”
Yan Molun walked over calmly to close the door to the villa. He turned his head back and said, “I didn’t want to do that, but he came knocking on your door.”
“Aren’t you afraid Kang Jin will call the police?” Duoyao was really frightened. “Kang Jin isn’t to be trifled with.”
“Not unless he doesn’t want his son anymore.” Yan Molun gave Li Shaobin a call to get him to send two people over. Within 10 minutes, a black car drove in and he threw Kang Anhe in straightaway.
The sound of the body landing in the car hard made Duoyao’s face go pale. Truth be told, she was a little afraid now. She wanted to terminate her contract but she didn’t want to use such means. It’s too violent. She had always been afraid to trifle with people like this. “Yan Molun, why don’t we forget it? Haven’t you retired from the forces already? Can you not… use the methods you used abroad?”
Seeing how uneasy she was, Yan Molun was stunned and felt a little guilty. He was too rash and neglected the fact that she had never experienced something like this. After all, in his world, if something could be solved straightforwardly, he would use the simplest possible method. He might’ve neglected her feelings just now, but since things had come to such a state, there was nothing else he could do. “Duoyao, trust me, nothing will happen. Come with me in case the Kang Family makes trouble with you again.”
Duoyao took a step back subconsciously and shook her head. She didn’t want to go to the so-called Li Hall. That was probably an even scarier place.
Yan Molun frowned slightly. “Why don’t… I take you to Changqing’s place? I’m worried about leaving you here alone.”
Duoyao hesitated for a moment before nodding.
The black car had already driven away with Kang Anhe in it. Duoyao sat in Yan Molun’s Mercedes and on the way, the two barely spoke. Duoyao knew he was doing all this for her, but she was subconsciously afraid of Yan Molun’s world. Actually, she had long expected that. After all, she had seen him pull out a gun in Tibet. It was just that she had almost forgotten about it because she had been living too blissfully recently…
Yan Molun noticed she wasn’t talking to him and he said very few words too. When they arrived at Changqing’s doorstep, he said helplessly, “Duoyao, since I dared to do it, I have 100% confidence.”
Duoyao frowned and felt a little frustrated. “I don’t know how you’re going to threaten Kang Jin with Kang Anhe, but I wish you won’t take things too far. After all, you’re doing this for me but I don’t dare to enter your world. I’m too afraid.”
Yan Molun nodded without saying a thing.
Duoyao pushed open the door to the car and rang the doorbell. Yan Molun only drove off when he saw the door open and watched her go in.
She looked around outside for a while but her fear inside didn’t lessen because of that.
Changqing’s surprised voice came from behind her, “What brought you here today?”
Duoyao sighed. She shook her head in low spirits.
“What’s wrong?” Changqing asked, “Don’t tell me you quarreled with Brother Molun?”
“I would’ve preferred it if we quarreled.” Duoyao pressed her lips together with frustration. After a while, she told Changqing everything that happened. Changqing was dazed for a moment. “Wow, Brother Molun really made it short and sweet.”
“Yeah.” Duoyao nodded. She was suddenly curious. “Why aren’t you afraid?”
Changqing blinked and spoke in a way that asked for a beating: “Maybe it’s because he isn’t my boyfriend.”
Duoyao glared angrily at her. Could she get a new friend?
Changqing caressed her protruding stomach and quickly said, “I understand how you feel but don’t you think I already knew who Brother Molun was? I think someone like him is just fearless so there’s nothing strange about that, but if I were you, I might be afraid too. After all, both of us didn’t go through everything he experienced. We might even faint from fright if we saw a corpse on the street, but to him, it might just be as normal as seeing a dead fish on the streets.”
Duoyao nodded vigorously. That was how she felt. “Changqing, I’m so afraid right now. Say, if I offended him one day and made him angry or if I dumped him, would he get someone to kill me too…?”
“…” Changqing patted her shoulder. “Don’t think so much. Yan Molun isn’t such an unreasonable person. To be honest, if he was so violent and evil, Chuchu wouldn’t have become good friends with him. Besides, I think he’s a very loyal person. Just like how he protected me in Hong Kong. Look, he’s already so rich. Do you think there was any need for him to volunteer to protect me? He must’ve done it for Chuchu. Also, I don’t think you’re so important that he would have to get someone to kill you…”
Duoyao: “….”
Her face sank. “Yan Changqing, are you agitating me right now?”
Changqing grinned. “When this is all settled, have a good talk with Brother Molun. He indeed abducted Kang Anhe and brought him to some Li Hall. I think that must be Li Shaobin’s territory. I’m very familiar with Li Shaobin. He might seem weird, but after hanging out with him more, I find that he’s quite a fool and he’s quite amicable and friendly. He wouldn’t do something like killing someone. He’ll probably just fight and threaten him.”
Duoyao was speechless. ‘When did you get so close to Li Shaobin?”
“We’ve been talking on the phone recently.” Changqing pouted. “Ever since he adopted the dog, he calls me every day to ask me about feeding then we exchange our thoughts. Anyway, he’s quite a nice person and Brother Molun is close to him too, so he can’t be that scary. Didn’t you say he’s been very sweet and meticulous towards you recently?”
Duoyao sighed silently. Yeah. He was very sweet and meticulous.
However, he always hid a gun on him…
However, she kept consoling herself. RIght, Li Shaobin was a fool. They wouldn’t go too far.
———————————-
Li Hall was actually a Suzhou-styled courtyard built during the Chinese Republican era.
Li Shaobin walked out lazily at 11 am with a youtiao in his mouth, wearing a singlet and a pair of slippers. The moment he entered, he saw a man in a suit lying on the floor. He looked pretty handsome. “Is this your love rival?”
Yan Molun puffed his cigarette slowly as he said “Mm” nasally. His face was as calm as still water.
“You’re in a bad mood.” Li Shaobin sat on a chair with flower carvings and took two sips of soymilk. He said with his mouth full, “It’s okay. Your love rival is too thin and weak; he can’t even compare to a single one of your fingers.”
“I know,” Yan Molun said coldly. “It’s just that Duoyao doesn’t seem to be able to accept my way of solving things.”
Li Shaobin stared wide-eyed. “You’re doing it for her sake. Besides, it’s simple, plain, and straightforward. How great is that?”
Yan Molun massaged his glabella. He shouldn’t have talked to a simple-minded person like Li Shaobin about these things. “She hasn’t experienced anything like this before. She must’ve been frightened.”
“I really didn’t think you would care so much about how a woman felt.” Li Shaobin sighed. Just as he was about to finish the youtiao, Hu Zhi came in and said, “Boss, Kang Jin is here. He brought a secretary and two bodyguards.”
“Aiyo, this old fellow has some guts. Let him in quickly.” Li Shaobin waved his hands.
In less than five minutes, Kang Jin walked in with his men. He was in his fifties but didn’t look old at all. He was dressed in a black suit from head to toe, looking like a shrewd business elite.
However, when he saw his son lying on the floor, his calm face changed drastically. “What did you do to my son?”
Yan Molun said calmly, “We’re good citizens and usually, we abide by the rules. You should ask what your son did to us.”
Li Shaobin almost broke out into a laugh. He didn’t think there would be a time when Old Yan would be so shameless.
Kang Jin’s face was ashen. “Don’t think I’m not aware that you’re the ones who abducted my son.”
