The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 380 You'll Be Buried With Me

Behind Xiao Jingchen, Zhou Qing looked at his worried expression with a heavy face.

"Mr. Xiao, there are quite a few people near the warehouse. If we go any further, we'll definitely be discovered. What should we do now?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingchen took a deep breath and punched the car next to him.

"hold on."

If it were anyone else who was kidnapped, he could have used a slightly more forceful method to get in, but the only one he was facing was Lin Ran and Sui Sui, his wife and daughter.

"Mr. Xiao, I didn't hear any noise coming from over there, so nothing should have happened."

Hearing Zhou Qing's reassuring words, Xiao Jingchen suddenly calmed down.

His fingers trembled as he held a cigarette between his fingers, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

Meanwhile, in the warehouse, Lin Ran lay sprawled on the ground, her mouth gagged and her hands tied behind her back.

Ye Chuchu was talking to a few people, and after a while, she came back.

"Lin Ran, I really envy you. Jingchen likes you so much that even though you didn't call for help, he still found out you were missing so quickly."

"They even sent so many people over; I'm really jealous."

Lin Ran's eyes flickered, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, relaxed slightly.

Perhaps even she herself didn't realize that Xiao Jingchen's arrival gave her such a great sense of security.

Ye Chuchu seemed to have only come to vent her frustrations. After saying those two sentences, she turned and left, saying something to the group of men.

Lin Ran watched as the group of people quietly left through the back door, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"No no no!"

She tried her best to make a sound, but only a muffled groan came out.

Ye Chuchu glanced at it, but didn't say anything. She simply picked up the gasoline next to her and poured it around.

"Lin Ran, I want you to apologize to my parents."

After a pause, she seemed to realize something, smiled, walked up to Lin Ran, and reached out to tear the tape off her mouth.

"Ye Chuchu, they deserve it. If they hadn't poisoned my mother, how could she have ended up like this?"

Lin Ran's emotions were initially stable, but after hearing Ye Chuchu's words, the suppressed anger in her heart instantly erupted.

"Hmph, it's no use saying all this now. I'll make you apologize to them in my own way."

Just as Ye Chuchu was about to get angry, she suddenly remembered something, smiled brightly, and continued to pour the gasoline evenly around the warehouse.

Lin Ran stared intently at her movements, realizing her purpose, and felt a chill run down her spine.

Is she going to die here today?

"Lin Ran, I want you to be buried with me."

Under Lin Ran's horrified gaze, Ye Chuchu slowly struck a match and tossed it onto the gasoline.

With a loud bang, flames shot out, and a scorching heat rushed towards us.

"Ye Chuchu, you've really gone mad."

Lin Ran gritted her teeth as she looked at the scene before her, her heart growing colder and colder.

With such a huge fire, what could Xiao Jingchen possibly do outside?

Ye Chuchu deliberately sprinkled gasoline around their bodies, probably to ensure that the two were completely beyond saving.

Thankfully... thankfully, I was thrown out every year.

The choking black smoke kept getting into her nose, and since she couldn't move her hands, she could only inhale it and cough incessantly.

Ye Chuchu wasn't much better off; although she had a wet towel in her hand to shield herself, she still choked and her face turned bright red.

I can't hold on any longer...

Lin Ran didn't even dare to breathe deeply; the pain in her lungs made tears stream down her face. In her dazed state, she even saw Xiao Jingchen's figure...

Outside the warehouse, a group of people who were trying to leave through the back mountain were stopped by Xiao Jingchen's men and forced to stay in place.

Upon learning that those people were actually leaving, Xiao Jingchen's unease grew even stronger. He ran towards the warehouse like a madman, and could smell the strong smell of smoke from afar.

thump--

Xiao Jingchen's heart was gripped with anxiety. His eyes were frighteningly red. After a long while, he silently walked forward step by step.

"Mr. Xiao, we can't go in. The whole area smells of gasoline. It might explode in a bit."

Zhou Qing immediately guessed his intention and, without even hesitating, stepped in front of Xiao Jingchen.

"roll."

Without hesitation, Xiao Jingchen took off his coat and poured all the water from the car over himself.

He soaked his coat completely, put it over his head, and rushed inside under Zhou Qing's astonished gaze.

"Mr. Xiao!"

Zhou Qing reached out to pull him back, but couldn't stop him at all, and could only watch helplessly as Xiao Jingchen rushed in.

Because of the gasoline spilled at the entrance, a wall of fire had formed.

Even from a distance, Xiao Jingchen could feel the intense heat emanating from him, yet his face showed no sign of retreating.

He took a deep breath and went inside without looking back.

The flames engulfed him.

The acrid smell of smoke was slightly blocked by the damp clothes. Xiao Jingchen squinted and bent down, searching for Lin Ran's figure in the warehouse.

"Brother Jingchen?"

When Xiao Jingchen came in front of the two of them, Ye Chuchu's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Xiao Jingchen with infatuation.

"Brother Jingchen, am I dreaming? I'm so happy to see you before I die."

Ye Chuchu coughed as she tried to reach out and touch Xiao Jingchen, but he rudely interrupted her.

"You vicious, crazy woman, I should have sent you to prison with me."

Hearing this cold voice, Ye Chuchu was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with sorrow.

“Brother Jingchen, but I truly love you. Everything I did was because of you. How could you do this to me?”

Xiao Jingchen didn't respond. Looking at Lin Ran, who had already fainted, he carefully took off his coat and wrapped it around her.

"Ye Chuchu, listen carefully, I have never liked you from the beginning."

"The only person I love is Lin Ran, and it will only ever be Lin Ran."

Ye Chuchu was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Xiao Jingchen.

She thought that Xiao Jingchen had at least a sliver of love for her, but his words today were like a heavy blow to her, slamming her to the ground and kicking her while she was down.

The lungs, which were already aching from the smoke, were now in even more pain.

Her eyes were fixed on Xiao Jingchen as she watched him treat Lin Ran gently, a shadow falling over her gaze.

"Xiao Jingchen, can you swear that you really don't like me?"

"But you told me yourself that Lin Ran is a vain woman, and that she is the one you hate the most."

"And also, Brother Jingchen, have you forgotten? That night before..."

Ye Chuchu smiled dreamily, her gaze towards Xiao Jingchen filled with complex emotions.
