Chapter 739: Interrogation

CHAPTER 739

Furthermore, while they plotted, Ye Cheng remained oblivious to their mischief.

When he got home, he first checked on Chen’an and found that she had been in bed resting all day.

Not wanting to disturb her sleep, he left her alone in the room and went to pay Ren a lovely visit.

From what Li Jing had spoken to him about, he wished not to have to do any of what he did before again and risk hurting him.

More than him finding out the truth, how Li Jing perceived him mattered so much to him.

.....

Even if he did not get any information from Ren, he would rather hand him over to the police or Fong Wang Lei than have to conduct his own torture yet again.

On reaching the room, he scanned everywhere with his eyes and noticed the cold meal was properly served on a tray and untouched.

Even the two bottled water, properly kept at the side was uncorked.

Only one thought rang a bell in his mind. ‘He chose to starve. Be my guest.’

Ye Cheng walked into the room, taking his time till he arrived at the centre, close to the bed where Ren remained seated close to the bed frame.

“Hello, Ren.”

Ye Cheng go no answer from the latter who still had his head hanging low.

“Umm, let’s try this again. Answer me and I would tell you how Chen’an is doing.”

Immediately Ren snapped his head up to look at Ye Cheng.

His expression hardened as he stared into those brown eyes of Ye Cheng.

“What is it?”

“Good. I love the fact that you know how to play and you play nicely. First, tell me, what does your boss want with my wife?”

“Tell me first, how is Chen’an doing?”

“You are in no place to negotiate, Ren or don’t you see the situation you put yourself in?”

“Fine then. I would assume she is alright. After all, if you harm her, I bet your wife won’t be happy and then I wonder what lies you would feed the police.”

A soft chuckle fell off Ye Cheng’s lips. “Good. I like this. Keep up that daring front.”

“It is called business. Give and take. I assume you are most familiar with those words being in the order of the day there.”

“Thanks for trying but you are lousy at deterring a topic,” Ye Cheng quickly pointed out.

His lips turned upwards into a triumphant smile as he watched his prey avert his gaze away.

“Do I look like Chen’an to you?” Ye Cheng asked again. “You may have deceived her, but you cannot deceive me.”

“I wouldn’t even bother trying to deceive you. All I know, the longer you keep me in here, the more danger you are putting your wife in.”

Immediately, Ye Cheng’s eyes narrowed at him as recognition dawned on his face. “You said?”

He cringed a bit, his brain getting buzzed from the threatening word he heard.

Before Ren could say anything, Ye Cheng bridged the gap between them and yanked him up by the collar.

His eyes became extremely cold, exuding a sense of dread as he glared daggers at Ren.

“I dare you to utter such nonsense again and I would forget my initial promise and deal you a heavy blow.”

“I said, the longer you keep me here, the more danger you out Li Ji...”

He had barely finished his sentence when a heavy punch was sent straight into his face, knocking him to the ground.

“Not another word about Li Jing. Dare me and if anything happens to her, I personally would make sure your Chen’an face every single thing she did with an added touch of madness from my side.”

Ren’s eyes burned with extreme rage. “Take Chen’an out of this and face me.”

“Then leave my Li Jing alone.”

Both men were brimming with an immeasurable amount of anger as they stared daggers into each other’s eyes.

Ren felt like cursing Ye Cheng. At the same time he pitied Li Jing and worse, he knew Ye Cheng would hate himself when something bad happens to her.

As much as he did not hate Li Jing or this family, he wanted Ye Cheng to have a taste of the pain he felt when he saw Chen’an being electrocuted.

Gosh, he never planned to fall in love and be focused on his mission but who would have thought that the moment he was getting to a high point in his career, love would be what would drag him down.

Several thoughts ran in their minds but none spoke to the other until...

Ye Cheng placed his hand in his pocket and took out his phone. Two things ran into his mind to handle at that moment.

The first was to have his men get Li Jing to come home and he was hell-bent on not letting her out of the house till he figured out what Ren was speaking about.

The second was Ren’s phone and gadgets.

“You see,” Ye Cheng began. “Since your phone went dead while they searched for you, I had them pick your car lock, get in and get your belongings.”

“You damn...”

“Ah, save it for who cares to listen.”

“That is stealing.”

“No. It is called evidence searching. Once I have them put on your phone, I would have it hacked and traced. If I were you, I better start talking.”

“Pfft, help yourself then because I won’t spill anything.”

“I thought you might say that which is why my grace isn’t going to last. If I find clues myself, I cannot guarantee what tortures you would face and Chen’an would go in for it as your accomplice.”

“Stop using her like she is some kind of doll,” Ren challenged.

“Yeah, sure. Just when I need your advice.”

“I am telling...”

Ring! Ring!

Both of them kept quiet, while Ye Cheng peeled his gaze from him and checked his phone.

Instantly, his eyes dimmed at his phone screen before answering it.

“Hello?”

“Boss, we are sorry but, the madam just got kidnapped.”

The more Ye Cheng listened, Ren watched as fear crossed his face and the next thing he knew, the young CEO bellowed.

“She what!”
