"Don't touch me!" Chen Yutong struggled desperately.
But how could her strength possibly match that of those men?
Chen Yutong was utterly desperate. She had never imagined her fate would turn out this way.
"No, no..."
Watching one of the men reach for her skirt, Chen Yutong's terror reached its peak.
Chen Yutong closed her eyes, her heart filled with despair.
"Bang!"
Just then, the door leading to the roof suddenly burst open, startling everyone and causing them to freeze.
Before they could even react, the leader was met with a brutal punch and lost his footing, falling to the ground.
"Bastard!" Zhan Yangyi, unwilling to let the man go, walked over, pinned him to the ground, and began relentlessly pounding his face.
He had just arrived and heard Chen Yutong's cries, already guessing what she was enduring.
"Boss!"
Seeing the situation, the others looked at Zhan Yangyi with a hint of awe.
Zhan Yangyi finally released the man and turned to the others, "What did you do to her?"
The men, intimidated by Zhan Yangyi's imposing presence, quickly retreated from Chen Yutong.
Chen Yutong huddled to the side, unable to stop her tears.
Although Zhan Yangyi had arrived in time to prevent her from suffering any actual harm, the ordeal was enough to deeply traumatize her.
Seeing her state, Zhan Yangyi's fury intensified.
In reality, he hadn't intended to resort to violence before coming here. Chen Yutong's safety was paramount.
So, he had spent time gathering the money.
Even though he was now president again, five million was still a significant sum for him.
But he hadn't expected these beasts to strike first, meaning he no longer needed to consider a peaceful resolution.
The kidnappers felt Zhan Yangyi's aura grow even more potent, causing them to involuntarily step back.
Some were even so terrified their legs had gone weak.
"Did all of you touch her?" Zhan Yangyi's voice was icy, yet a cruel curve formed on his lips.
The men dared not speak, only exchanging uneasy glances.
They now regretted taking on this job. If they had known the other party was such a ruthless individual, they would never have risked their lives.
"Take them all down. Not a single one escapes."
As soon as Zhan Yangyi finished speaking, the bodyguards waiting outside rushed in.
The kidnappers fought desperately to avoid capture, and the bodyguards were determined to apprehend them all.
The scene quickly devolved into utter chaos, with people grappling and fighting.
At this moment, Zhan Yangyi moved through the fray, approaching Chen Yutong.
"Yutong, it's alright now... Come home with me." Zhan Yangyi said softly, wrapping his own clothes around Chen Yutong.
"Yangyi... Yangyi..." Chen Yutong could only tremble and call his name.
Looking at Chen Yutong's frightened eyes, Zhan Yangyi felt his own heart tremble in unison.
"I'm here. Don't be afraid, it's over, everything is fine." With that, Zhan Yangyi picked Chen Yutong up. "Let's go home."
He said, and turned to walk outside.
The surroundings were still in disarray, but under the control of the bodyguards, a path was cleared for Zhan Yangyi. The two of them left.
Chen Yutong's body was still trembling. Even in Zhan Yangyi's arms, she couldn't shake off her fear.
But Zhan Yangyi kept comforting her. His own trembling voice even made Chen Yutong wonder if he, too, had experienced something similar.
She felt their emotions and feelings were intertwined at that moment.
Chen Yutong clung tightly to Zhan Yangyi's clothes, afraid that if she let go, it would all turn out to be a dream...
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
At this moment, Zhan Mohan sat on a luxurious sofa in a private room, looking coldly at Geng Sitian, his gaze like that of looking at an ant.
Although he had anticipated that Zhan Yangyi's situation wouldn't be easily resolved, he hadn't expected Geng Sitian to be so audacious.
Geng Sitian sat on the floor, her meticulously applied makeup now disheveled, a result of the struggle.
Initially, Geng Sitian had thought Zhan Yangyi would be the one to arrive. To her surprise, when the door opened, it was Zhan Mohan.
She immediately realized something was amiss and hastily tried to close the door, intending to destroy the project contracts first.
Since Zhan Yangyi had abandoned her, she wouldn't let him off easily. At the very least, she wanted to use this method to make him remember her and regret his decision.
However, Zhan Mohan's bodyguards immediately kicked the door open and bravely snatched the project contracts from her grasp.
Now, Geng Sitian looked crestfallen, her head bowed as she stared at the floor. "Why... why is it you who came? It shouldn't be like this!"
"Did you think my elder brother would come looking for you?" Zhan Mohan sneered. "You seem to have forgotten something. Although my elder brother is the president of the subsidiary, the Zhan Group ultimately belongs to me. And you took something that belongs to my Zhan Group. Do you think I would let you go?"
Geng Sitian clenched her fists. She couldn't refute Zhan Mohan's words, but she had taken those items solely to make Zhan Yangyi come to her.
"It shouldn't be like this... Mr. Zhan clearly cares about the company. He should have chosen me. I don't believe... I don't believe it!" Geng Sitian clutched her head, in pain.
Zhan Mohan had no intention of wasting more words on Geng Sitian. He merely glanced at Fang Xun beside him.
Fang Xun immediately understood Zhan Mohan's intention and spoke, "Mr. Zhan, Mr. Zhan and Mrs. Zhan are no longer in danger. Mr. Zhan just called, saying he and Mrs. Zhan have returned home. Mrs. Zhan was startled, and he wants to take a few days off to accompany her."
Geng Sitian's mind could barely process this information.
Fang Xun continued, "Mr. Zhan also said that after this incident, he knows what he needs to do. He plans to find a time to officially reconcile with Mrs. Zhan."
"No, no, no!" Geng Sitian stood up, pointing at Fang Xun. "You're lying to me. They're already divorced, how could they possibly get back together?"
"Why is it impossible?" Zhan Mohan said coldly. "My elder brother's heart has always been solely for her. Getting back together is just a matter of time. And thanks to you, he now understands what the right thing to do is."
Zhan Mohan's words struck Geng Sitian like another blow.
She had never imagined things would turn out this way. Had she pushed the person she loved into someone else's arms?
She couldn't accept this outcome; it wasn't what she wanted to see.
"Mr. Zhan..." All she could do was softly utter his name; there was nothing else she could do.
