The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 78 is my sister's person

No matter what Ye Chuchu did, it was still his fault that night.

Xiao Jingchen looked around, suppressed his worries, and carried Ye Chuchu away from the warehouse.

He was so tense that he didn't notice that the woman in his arms had opened her eyes at some point, her eyes filled with smugness and glee, but she closed them tightly the moment he looked down, as if nothing had happened.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Ye Chuchu was wheeled into the emergency room, and Wang Mei also rushed over after Zhou Qing had made contact with her.

Although she had arranged everything herself and knew that Ye Chuchu was perfectly fine, tears still streamed down her face when she arrived at the hospital.

His appearance was as sorrowful as could be.

Not long after, the doctor came out of the room and looked at Xiao Jingchen with a serious expression.

"Mr. Xiao, Miss Ye's condition is not good."

"Her injuries aren't particularly serious, but she seems to have suffered quite a shock. I need to spend more time with her in the future."

Did it cause you considerable shock?

Xiao Jingchen's eyes darkened, his expression grew colder, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop considerably.

Ye Chuchu is already in this state, so what about Lin Ran...?

Xiao Jingchen felt a pang of pain in his heart and dared not think any further.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wang Mei was overjoyed, and tears streamed down her face in the blink of an eye.

She mustered her courage and grabbed Xiao Jingchen's sleeve, her voice filled with sorrow.

“Mr. Xiao, Chu Chu hasn’t been eating or sleeping well since that night, and she has nightmares every night. How can she bear such serious harm now?”

Wang Mei knew that Xiao Jingchen disliked noise, so she cried in a very restrained manner, recounting Ye Chuchu's hardships word by word.

Annoyed by the noise, Xiao Jingchen pursed his lips and went into the ward.

Ye Chuchu had woken up at some point and was sitting on the hospital bed, hugging herself with her arms around her, looking around warily.

Looking at the pale-faced woman, Xiao Jingchen felt somewhat uneasy, recalling Wang Mei's tearful complaint from earlier.

Although the reason for the kidnapping has not yet been determined, it is likely that he is involved in it.

Xiao Jingchen felt a rare pang of guilt and took a few more steps forward.

Ye Chuchu seemed to have suddenly heard a sound and raised her head in alarm, but relaxed the moment she saw Xiao Jingchen.

"Brother Xiao, I'm so scared."

Ye Chuchu tilted her head back, tears streaming down her face. Her fair hands gripped the blanket tightly, making her look innocent and pitiful.

Xiao Jingchen's heart softened, and he walked over in a few steps.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Ye Chuchu responded softly, lowered her head to hide her joy, and took advantage of Xiao Jingchen's inattention to pounce on him and hug him tightly.

"Brother Xiao, it's my sister. She had me tied up and beaten. I'm so scared."

Upon hearing Ye Chuchu's tearful complaint, Xiao Jingchen froze, lowering his head in disbelief.

"what did you just say?"

"It was...it was my sister who told those people to beat me up, Brother Xiao, don't you believe me?"

Ye Chuchu was trembling violently, staring at Xiao Jingchen with a pitiful expression.

"You should rest well first, I will investigate carefully."

Stared at like that, Xiao Jingchen couldn't bring himself to deny it and could only offer a few perfunctory words before leaving.

Ye Chuchu didn't stop him, just watched Xiao Jingchen leave. Only when the door slammed shut did she slowly reveal a smile.

Lin Ran, Lin Ran, let's see how you explain this to Brother Xiao this time.

Xiao Jingchen was out for most of the day. Although he was still worried about Lin Ran, the company's work couldn't wait for him, so he had to go and deal with it first.

Zhou Qing followed the clues and searched almost the entire city, but Lin Ran seemed to have vanished in an instant, leaving no trace whatsoever.

At that moment, in the same park where the two had disappeared that morning, Lin Ran woke up.

Looking at the lush trees around her, Lin Ran was still somewhat dazed.

How did she end up waking up here?

The soreness in her neck made her absolutely certain that everything she saw before she lost consciousness wasn't an illusion, it was just...

Lin Ran stood up unsteadily, looked around a few more times, and then confirmed her location: the small park where she had talked to Ye Chuchu that morning!

A cold wind blew over, and Lin Ran became more awake. She checked her body and found that apart from a slight soreness in her neck, she had no other discomfort.

This is too strange.

The group knocked her unconscious, but did nothing else.

Lin Ran frowned, concealing the deep thought in her eyes. Her phone was also missing, so she could only walk back to the villa by herself, her mind replaying the scene before she was knocked unconscious.

Judging from the situation, she's been missing for a whole day. I don't know if anyone has noticed, and what about the company... If she didn't ask for leave, it's considered skipping work, and I wonder how much salary they'll deduct.

Realizing her own thoughts, Lin Ran found it somewhat amusing.

Who would be thinking about their wages after being kidnapped?

Before she knew it, Lin Ran had returned to the villa. The house was pitch black, and she didn't feel like turning on the lights. She collapsed onto the sofa.

The sofa was warm and cozy, and Lin Ran felt as if her eyelids were weighed down by a ton, and she was about to drift off to sleep.

The door was suddenly opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in, dispelling Lin Ran's drowsiness.

She sat up somewhat blankly, her gaze meeting that of the person who had just entered the living room.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Jingchen's eyes flickered, and he could hardly hide the surprise in his voice. He took a step forward and grabbed Lin Ran's arm.

"Ouch, Xiao Jingchen, you're hurting me!"

Lin Ran was about to explain when the pain in her arm made her involuntarily frown and cry out.

"I don't know what happened. I was knocked unconscious and then woke up in a small park, and then I came back."

Lin Ran rubbed her arm, which was being gripped so hard, as she tried to explain, but she didn't notice Xiao Jingchen's increasingly deep gaze.

"You mean you were kidnapped, but those people brought you back?"

Xiao Jingchen asked in a cold voice, his tone tinged with disbelief.

Seeing Lin Ran nod, Xiao Jingchen finally lost control of his emotions and let out a cold laugh.

"Lin Ran, at least make your lies believable."

Lin Ran paused, then raised her head with a slightly bewildered expression.

She was clean and didn't seem to be injured. Xiao Jingchen couldn't help but think of Ye Chuchu's disheveled appearance when he saw her that afternoon, and the coldness in his eyes grew even stronger.

"Xiao Jingchen, what do you mean by that? Do I need to say these things to lie to you?"

Under such suspicious gazes, Lin Ran lost her temper and suppressed her smile.

In the living room, the two stared coldly at each other, the atmosphere tense.
