"Don't misunderstand me, I really have something important to do," Chen Jie explained.
"You..."
A surge of anger welled up in Jiang Xue's heart.
But there was nothing she could do.
Just then, Chen Jie's phone rang.
It was Wang Xiaoyan calling.
"Chen Jie, what are you doing?" Wang Xiaoyan asked with joy in her voice.
"What's wrong?"
"Can't I call you if nothing's wrong? I want to hang out!" Wang Xiaoyan said.
Chen Jie was startled, "It's so late, your dad agrees to you looking for me?"
"You idiot, I'll sneak out to find you!" Wang Xiaoyan said shyly.
Apart from Chen Jie, she had never spoken to any other man in such a tone.
If Wang Fa knew she was doing this, what would he think?
However, Chen Jie didn't reject it, but he did have something important to do at the moment.
After thinking for a moment, he could only say, "I have something to do right now, come find me tomorrow morning."
"Pfft, I was just kidding, look how nervous you are. Are you looking for other women behind my back?" Wang Xiaoyan teased.
"Uh, no." Chen Jie glanced at Jiang Xue, not telling her he was at Jiang Long's house.
"Well, since you're busy, I won't talk anymore. I'll hang up first."
As soon as Wang Xiaoyan hung up the phone, Jiang Xue's phone received a text message alert.
Jiang Xue glanced at it, her expression becoming flustered, "Oh no, Xiaoyan said she couldn't sleep and wants to come over to hang out."
Although Chen Jie had an unusual relationship with Jiang Long's family, his appearance at Jiang Xue's house late at night would easily lead to misunderstandings.
Even though nothing had happened between them.
Thinking this, she quickly pushed Chen Jie, "Hurry up and leave!"
"Okay, I'm going!"
The two went downstairs, and Jiang Long saw Chen Jie and invited him, "Chen Jie, don't leave tonight, stay here."
"No, Uncle Jiang, I still have things to do."
Chen Jie glanced at Wu Gang and said, "Let's go!"
Jiang Long thought Wu Gang was Chen Jie's friend and figured if Chen Jie couldn't stay, Wu Gang certainly couldn't.
So he didn't insist.
However, Wu Gang leered at Jiang Xue and said with a chuckle, "Chen Jie, you go take care of your business. I still want to chat with Auntie Wu about business tips."
Chen Jie's expression turned cold.
Wu Li immediately said, "Yes, you go! Don't disturb me and Xiao Gang chatting."
Jiang Xue frowned as she looked at Wu Gang.
This Wu Gang was too thick-skinned and lacked any social awareness.
He was not familiar with their family, yet he wanted to linger at their house late at night.
She regretted letting Wu Gang in earlier.
Jiang Long also frowned as he looked at Wu Gang, realizing this young man was far inferior to Chen Jie.
Regardless of the difference in their status, their demeanor was not on the same level.
Jiang Xue didn't want to waste any more time because Wang Xiaoyan would arrive soon, and she just wanted to see Chen Jie off.
So she said, "Let's go first."
"Alright." Chen Jie agreed.
...
At the Wang family's residence, Wang Xiaoyan sneakily went to the door. She didn't notify the driver but called a car by herself.
After she left, Wang Fa's gaze lingered on the spot where Wang Xiaoyan had been.
He then sighed, "My daughter is growing up and flying away. Damn it, she's in such a hurry to get laid!"
Shortly after Wang Xiaoyan's taxi left, a car blocked its path.
Wang Xiaoyan's heart tightened.
Two middle-aged men got out of the taxi. Kuaishuguo.
Wang Xiaoyan said nervously, "Who are you?"
"Heh heh, Miss Wang, we are from the Ye family," the two said with a smile. "Please come to the Ye family with us."
The Ye family?
Wang Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she said indifferently, "I'm sorry, I don't have time now. We can discuss it another day."
"Miss Wang, do you think we're negotiating with you?" the two sneered.
"What do you mean?" Wang Xiaoyan frowned.
"Miss Wang, it's best if you come with us obediently. You don't want us to be rude to you, do you?" The two men blocked the car on either side and then violently pulled open the car doors simultaneously.
Martial artists?
Wang Xiaoyan's gaze sharpened.
"I can go with you, but has the Ye family considered the consequences of forcibly taking me away?" Wang Xiaoyan said coldly.
"Less nonsense, get in the car!"
Wang Xiaoyan nodded and then, with a blank expression, followed the two into the car.
She had already quietly dialed Wang Fa's number on her phone.
As Wang Fa returned to his bedroom, he received Wang Xiaoyan's call.
But after he said hello a few times, he couldn't hear Wang Xiaoyan's voice.
The call was quickly hung up. Wang Fa tried to call Wang Xiaoyan again, but it indicated that her phone was turned off.
At first, he didn't think much of it, assuming Wang Xiaoyan and Chen Jie were having some private fun and didn't want him to disturb them.
But after two minutes, his body suddenly jolted, and he sat up from the bed.
"My daughter is in trouble!" Wang Fa's face changed drastically.
"Where are the North and South Elders?" Wang Fa immediately summoned the North and South Elders.
A moment later, the North and South Elders exclaimed, "What? Miss Wang is in trouble?"
Wang Fa's face was extremely grim.
He had never experienced such a situation before. He immediately called Chen Jie.
Meanwhile, Chen Jie was driving slowly towards the Ye family's residence.
He answered Wang Fa's phone call immediately.
"Chen Jie, where is my daughter?" Wang Fa asked urgently.
His tone was somewhat anxious, which made Chen Jie frown, "Uncle Wang, Xiaoyan is not with me. Have you misunderstood something?"
Wang Fa was stunned and said, "Chen Jie, don't misunderstand me, I'm not blaming you, it's just..."
He explained the situation to Chen Jie and then said, "I'm just worried about my daughter's safety. If she's with you, please tell me, I won't blame you!"
Chen Jie's brow furrowed deeply, "She was planning to come to me, but I didn't let her. And, if nothing unexpected happened, she should be at Jiang Xue's place by now. Let me ask her for you."
"Then come see me first," Wang Fa said.
"Okay."
Chen Jie called Jiang Xue to inquire. From Jiang Xue, he learned that she had not waited for Wang Xiaoyan.
She also couldn't contact her.
On the other hand, Wu Gang made her very unhappy. She told Chen Jie several times to leave, but he refused.
Chen Jie's heart immediately sank with a bad premonition.
Chen Jie did not tell Jiang Xue that Wang Xiaoyan might be in trouble, and instead went to the Wang family's residence.
More than ten minutes later, Chen Jie met Wang Fa.
At the same time, Chen Jie received a call from Lin Mengjiao.
"Master, Ye Lingtian sent people to take Wang Xiaoyan to the Ye family!" Lin Mengjiao said.
Chen Jie's killing intent immediately surged.
"I understand. Protect her! Don't act rashly for now!" Chen Jie said.
"Yes."
Meanwhile, Wang Fa also received a call from Ye Lingtian.
"Wang Fa, your daughter is in my hands now!"
"What? Ye Lingtian, you daredevil!" Wang Fa's face changed drastically.
At the same time, he looked at Chen Jie.
He instantly realized that the Ye family had done this because Chen Jie had offended them.
