Chapter 844 - 842: Interrogating Yufan
"Awake?"
On the sofa in the room sat several people, two of whom were Xu Kan and Wu Chi from the Black Alliance.
"Who are you? Why did you capture me?" startled by the words, Jiang Yufan quickly turned her head and found she recognized no one, becoming slightly shocked.
"Haha, beauty, it’s not important who we are. We just want to ask you something. If you tell the truth, nothing will happen to you," Wu Chi said with a faint smile.
"Wh... what is it?" Jiang Yufan was a bit scared. None of these people looked decent, especially the old man beside her, who, despite his age, still participated in such actions instead of enjoying his retirement at home.
"Where is the Jade Pendant?" Wu Chi got straight to the point.
"Jade Pendant? What are you talking about? I don’t know what you’re saying," Jiang Yufan was puzzled and immediately froze.
"Heh, Red Widow, stop pretending. Spit it out, don’t think I don’t know who you are," Wu Chi, having heard from his subordinates about Jiang Yufan using a bizarre move when he acted, thanked his stars he struck first; otherwise, he might have fallen into her trap.
Therefore, Wu Chi mistakenly believed Jiang Yufan was the Red Widow.
"You’re crazy, going to all this trouble to capture me and asking such nonsensical things. I’m warning you, let me go, or you’ll regret it," Jiang Yufan said, gritting her teeth.
"Haha, beauty, you’re quite stubborn. But let me tell you the truth: if you don’t confess today, you might end up with a painted face," Wu Chi said, taking out a small knife and waving it a few times in front of Jiang Yufan.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Yufan was terrified. This guy not only looked sleazy but also had a menacing face, and she believed he was capable of anything.
Apparently, he intended to cut her face.
"Nothing much. If you admit you’re the Red Widow and hand over the Jade Pendant, I’ll spare you. I won’t harm your face, and I won’t let my brothers harm your body either," Wu Chi threatened with a malicious smile.
If she really were the Red Widow, she wouldn’t go down easily and would definitely resist.
"Hmph, shameless, rogue, I really don’t know what Jade Pendant or Red Widow you’re talking about," Jiang Yufan was almost driven to tears. This guy was utterly out of his mind, insisting she was someone she wasn’t.
Xu Kan, standing to the side, seemed to notice something fishy. The innocence in her eyes didn’t look like someone telling a lie.
"Won’t tell, huh? Well, don’t blame me for being rude then," Wu Chi said, preparing to cut Jiang Yufan’s face.
Just then, Xu Kan spoke, "Master Wu, hold your hand!"
Oh?
Surprised by these words, Wu Chi hesitated. Situ Feng, the principal of South Sea No.1 Middle School, was highly respected; the four great families all honored him. If something happened to his student, they would definitely investigate thoroughly. Wu Chi didn’t personally capture her and wasn’t sure if there were any signs leading back to him. If they found out, it would damage the Xu Family’s reputation.
"Elder Wu, is there a problem? Are you interested in this girl?" Wu Chi chuckled playfully, unsure of Xu Kan’s intention.
"Not at all. I observed her just now, and it seemed like she wasn’t lying. Scarring her face is not a solution. I suggest we also capture the other one, interrogate both, and the truth should come out," Xu Kan explained.
"This..."
Wu Chi hesitated, looked at Jiang Yufan, and saw her pale with fear, starting to believe a bit.
"Fine, then continue with the mission," Wu Chi instructed his subordinates.
"Yes, boss," a subordinate answered, leaving the room.
After all, the two people Wu Chi brought were experts from the Yellow Dao Seven Stars. In a small city like South Sea, capturing one person should be more than enough.
After they left the room, Jiang Yufan exhaled a sigh of relief, though still shaken. Right now, she most wanted to see Chen Tianlong.
In the classroom.
Chen Tianlong unexpectedly attended the evening self-study today, which was unprecedented.
Wu Mengting was also a bit suspicious, occasionally turning her head to look at Chen Tianlong, then smiling contentedly and turning back. Chen Tianlong couldn’t hold it anymore and said with a smile, "I say, Mengting, if you think your brother is handsome, just turn around and look at me more, don’t sneak peeks now and then, it’s making me anxious."
"..."
Wu Mengting was speechless; she knew Chen Tianlong was narcissistic, but didn’t expect him to be that self-absorbed.
"Tch, who’s peeking at you? I just couldn’t believe you actually showed up for evening study," Wu Mengting rolled her eyes at Chen Tianlong, then suddenly said, "Chen Tianlong, let me tell you something odd. Jiang Yufan is usually here studying, but she’s conspicuously absent today. I just asked Yiyi, and she said there’s no one in the dorm either."
"Oh? Maybe she’s out on a date, haha," Chen Tianlong replied indifferently.
Wu Mengting had initially thought the same, but not long ago, she noticed Jiang Yufan often glanced at Chen Tianlong during class, as if she had a crush on him. Considering that she was there yesterday, it was unlikely she would go on a date with another guy today.
"I just feel something’s not right. My sixth sense is usually spot on, just like when I sensed you were in trouble last time," Wu Mengting said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong stopped smiling. Wu Mengting wasn’t aware of his relationship with Jiang Yufan, it was purely out of concern. But Chen Tianlong was her contract husband. Even if he wasn’t truly intending to marry Jiang Yufan, he had promised her once. If she was really in trouble now, how could he remain calm?
"Okay, got it. I’ll try calling her first," Chen Tianlong said.
Chen Tianlong’s offhand comment contained a lot of information that Wu Mengting caught: "Huh? How do you have Yufan’s number? Confess!"
"Oh, you forgot, I mentioned Yufan was the one who saved me in Yunfu last time, isn’t it okay to have her number?" Chen Tianlong replied calmly.
"Oh, I see. Then call her quickly," Wu Mengting was very grateful to anyone who had helped Chen Tianlong, so she didn’t think more of it.
Actually, Chen Tianlong hadn’t truly regarded Jiang Yufan as a lover.
Chen Tianlong nodded and left the classroom. However, when he dialed the number, no one answered. Thinking for a moment, Chen Tianlong felt a bit anxious. If something really happened to Yufan, he would definitely regret it. After all, she had come here to get close to him, and now she was missing, her grandmother would surely blame him.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong directly dialed a number.
"Hello, Chen Tianlong, what do you need from me?" Liu Ting’s gentle voice came from the other side.
"Liu Ting, where are you right now? Help me trace a number, Yufan seems to be missing," Chen Tianlong got straight to the point, as this was potentially a big issue.
"At our villa. Alright, send me the phone number, and when I send you a text, make sure to call her, so I can track the signal," Liu Ting was the King of Hackers, skilled in such matters.
