Chapter 102 - 102 I Will Marry Her

102 I Will Marry Her

“The Wens?” He twirled the fountain pen in his hand, his fingers long and bony.

“Yes, we have information that the men had originally planned to send Miss Shi to the Snow Manor to feed the dogs. Snow Manor is You Te’s property.”

“And this You Te is one of the instructors of the Wen Corporation’s bodyguard company. He’s also… President Wen’s man.”

“Feed the dogs?” Chu Jinchen chewed on the word carefully.

“Snap—”

San Yu quivered.

He could clearly see a crack on the smooth pen that Chu Jinchen was playing with.

He knew.

President Wen had completely angered Third Young Master this time.

“Keep going.”

San Yu hurriedly said, “We followed You Te and President Wen’s leads and found out that President Wen had someone pull out 100 million in liquid funds overnight yesterday.”

“I think he got an email, but San Mu couldn’t decipher what it said. Whoever sent it was a better hacker than he was.”

“A hacker?” Chu Jinchen raised his eyebrows.

“Yes.” San Yu nodded. “Not many people are involved in this. Miss Shi happens to be a hacker. I wondered if it was Miss Shi, but…”

Seeing that he wanted to say something, Chu Jinchen leaned back in his chair. “Just say it.”

“But Miss Shi probably isn’t as capable as San Mu. The only person in the world who could keep San Mu out is Ray. Is it possible that it was Ray?”

Previously, they thought they had news of Ray, but it turned out to be Miss Shi herself.

However, the only person whose hacking skills could surpass San Mu’s was Ray. Unfortunately, this matter was also related to Miss Shi.

San Yu didn’t think he understood.

“It’s not him,” Chu Jinchen said firmly. “He doesn’t show up that easily.”

“Actually, I have an idea that might force Ray to show up,” San Yu said carefully.

“Oh?”

“Hackers are mostly aloof and unconventional. They hate it when someone else takes their name. Maybe we can use Miss Shi as bait to—”

The cold light fell on him.

The rest of his words were drowned out by Chu Jinchen’s cold gaze.

“Third Young Master, I’ve overstepped my boundaries.” San Yu immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Chu Jinchen’s lips slowly curled up, and his thin lips parted slightly. “You’re more than outrageous to let the future Young Madam be bait.”

‘The future young madam?’

San Yu was shocked.

Has the Third Young Master and Miss Shi reached this stage?

Still …

“Third Young Master, Miss Shi doesn’t seem to have realized her feelings,” San Yu said while paying attention to Chu Jinchen’s expression.

Actually, what he wanted to say more was that Miss Shi did not seem to like Third Young Master that much.

But it was better to be safe than sorry.

“It doesn’t matter.” Chu Jinchen propped his chin on his hand and traced the cracks on his fountain pen with his fingers. He smiled happily. “In any case, I’ll marry only her in this lifetime.”

San Yu was dumbfounded.

However, before San Yu could come back to his senses, Chu Jinchen stopped smiling.

His dark eyes were cold and stormy.

“Send a few people to tie Wen Yufei up the same way as last night.”

“What?” said San Yu, thinking he’d misheard. “Third Young Master, this matter has nothing to do with Lady Wen—”

Chu Jinchen’s lips curled up. He was clearly smiling, but it made people feel fear.

“You want to protect her?”

“I wouldn’t dare!” said San Yu, bowing his head.

“She and Wen Gongliang are not innocent in this matter. Since they dared to attack her, they should learn their lesson.”

“Yes,” said San Yu, unable to calm down.

He did not expect Third Young Master to attack Miss Wen for Miss Shi.

But this time, the Wen family had indeed asked for it.

He only hoped that Miss Shi could live up to Third Young Master’s liking.

He backed out of the office in silence.

Night came.

After filming, Shi Ran walked out of the set alone.

She glanced at the car on the left, as if by accident.

The ordinary car was unremarkable.

She took a few steps forward and

the black Maybach came into view.

Shi Ran stepped forward, consciously opened the door, and got into the car under those smiling eyes.

“Actually, I can protect myself,” Shi Ran said.

“Oh?”

“Your people are … somewhat obvious,” Shi Ran tried to be tactful.

San Yu: ?

‘Third Young Master’s men?’

Could she be talking about the bodyguards that Third Young Master had sent to protect her??

Obvious???

Those were the few most powerful mercenaries in hiding.

And yet Miss Shi said it was obvious???

San Yu felt his worldview shatter.

Had the mercenaries become weak, or…

Or had Third Young Master told her about them?

Chu Jinchen was also a little surprised.

“I’m worried,” Chu Jinchen said slowly.

His finger slid across the phone a few times as he typed the next line.

—Your people are too weak and have been discovered.

The reply came quickly.

—Weak?? What kind of bullshit joke are you talking about? Which huckster discovered it?

Chu Jinchen narrowed his eyes.

‘You have a problem with my future wife?’

A long question mark floated by.

He turned off the phone, met Shi Ran’s eyes, and chuckled. “What is it? Something on my face?”

“No.” Shi Ran looked away, lips pursed in silence.

Chu Jinchen did not press.

They sat across from each other at the Chinese restaurant.

Chu Jinchen put the chicken into the bowl.

Without waiting for Shi Ran to say anything, he spoke first, “Wen Gongliang was the one who did it last night. He’s Wen Yufei’s father.”

Shi Ran was surprised. “You’re telling me that?”

She knew that Chu Jinchen could find out if he wanted to.

However, she did not expect Chu Jinchen to tell her.

“I’ve always been honest.” Chu Jinchen smiled teasingly. “Besides, you can guess even if I don’t say it.”

“Indeed,” Shi Ran admitted with a nod. “Thanks to you again.”

“Sorry,” Chu Jinchen lowered his eyes and said hoarsely.

Shi Ran couldn’t bear to see him blaming himself.

“Actually, it’s nothing,” she said awkwardly.

She didn’t know how to comfort people, especially men.

In her previous life, those brats she trained would be beaten up when they were sad.

But Chu Jinchen…

It would take too much time to beat him up.

Chu Jinchen, who did not know that he had dodged a bullet, looked up.

Seeing the seriousness in Shi Ran’s eyes, he said seriously, “To make up for my apology, I can give myself to you and be your fighter.”

“No need.” The refusal was immediate.

Chu Jinchen was not surprised.

Instead, he could not help but laugh at Shi Ran’s speechless look.

He propped his face up and stared at the beautiful face. “Do you know that Wen Gongliang was threatened by a hacker last night?”

“I don’t know.” Shi Ran looked normal.

Chu Jinchen’s smile deepened. “He found a hacker on the black hat list to investigate in secret. If that hacker isn’t careful, something might happen.”

“We have to remind her to be careful. We have to deal with that 100 million properly. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if Wen Gongliang targets her.”

There was a hidden meaning in Chu Jinchen’s words.

Shi Ran’s gaze sharpened and she asked bluntly, “Are you talking to me?”

“I was talking to the hacker,” Chu Jinchen said innocently.

Shi Ran was helpless. “The hacker heard you and understood your good intentions.”

“That’s good.” Chu Jinchen nodded happily. “Actually, that hacker can ask me for help occasionally. I’m quite useful. What do you think?”

Shi Ran smirked. “Hackers like to rely on themselves. They don’t rely on someone else.”

“I’m ‘someone else’ ?” Chu Jinchen raised his eyebrows.

“Aren’t you?”

He lifted a brow, his voice low and rich. “It’s bad enough that you saw me naked and refused to take responsibility, but you even see me as ‘someone else’ ?”
