The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 35 is about the second young lady of the Ye family.

Scarface took the money and couldn't wait to go to the casino, intending to win back all the money he had lost in the past few days. But he didn't expect that he would be blindfolded and taken away halfway there.

"Who are you? How dare you kidnap me? You don't want to live anymore!"

Scarface gripped the bank card tightly in his hand, his voice trembling slightly with panic.

"Wang Yang, thirty-eight years old, went to prison three years ago for theft. He's a gambler, has no relatives, and people outside call him Scarface, right?"

The bag on his head was taken off. Scarface looked around. It was pitch black, and he couldn't tell where he was. But judging from the echoes of his voice, it was probably an abandoned warehouse.

"Who are you?"

Although Scarface looked fierce, he was a coward, especially since the group of people who were tying him up all looked like they were not to be trifled with.

"Don't be nervous, I just came to ask you some questions."

Scarface's expression shifted; the man's voice seemed familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

The next second, the lights around them came on, and Zhou Qing walked out.

"It's you!"

This wasn't the first time Zhou Qing had approached him, so Scarface naturally remembered him.

"Well, it's still the same question: who was that woman from that night? Just tell me and I'll let you go."

Zhou Qing at this moment was different from his demeanor in the office; his cold attitude was somewhat like Xiao Jingchen's.

Scarface remembered what Wang Mei had told him, his eyes darted around, and he looked at Zhou Qing with a fawning expression.

"Boss, I was drunk that night and I really don't remember."

Zhou Qing frowned impatiently. The scarred man claimed he didn't remember anything, but the greed in his eyes was almost tangible.

Seeing that Zhou Qing didn't speak, Scarface couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Well, I still vaguely remember some things from that night. Boss, if you let me go, I'll tell you right away. What do you say?"

He already has 300,000, which is more than enough.

Zhou Qing doesn't seem as easy to talk to as Wang Mei. It wouldn't be good if she lost her life instead of getting the money.

"As long as you tell the truth honestly, I guarantee you'll be fine."

Zhou Qing's face remained cold, but he was now more cautious than before.

He had wasted too much time on this matter, and even if President Xiao hadn't said anything, he himself was still uncomfortable.

"She's from the Ye family, the second young lady of the Ye family."

"That's all I know. Please let me go."

Realizing he couldn't get money from Zhou Qing anymore, Scarface confessed everything and struggled to leave.

"The second young lady of the Ye family? Are you sure?"

Zhou Qing concealed the surprise in his eyes, and a dagger appeared in his hand without him noticing. The sharp blade was placed against the scarred man's face.

"I'm sure, I'm sure, it's the second young lady of the Ye family. You just said you wouldn't lay a hand on me."

Scarface felt the slight chill and froze completely; if you looked closely, you could see his trembling hands.

"You'd better believe it."

Zhou Qing gestured with his chin to the side and threw the dagger in his hand.

Before Scarface could even feel happy, a sharp pain shot through his neck, and he collapsed to the ground with his eyes closed.

Zhou Qing received the news and didn't dare to waste any time, rushing to the company.

"Mr. Xiao, I have found out about that young lady's identity."

"Who?"

Xiao Jingchen's face remained calm, but his somewhat anxious tone betrayed his emotions.

"It is... Ye Chuchu, the second young lady of the Ye family."

"Ye Chuchu?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Jingchen's eyes, but there was no joy.

"Go and retrieve the surveillance footage from the area near the Ye family's house that day."

Xiao Jingchen gave the order in a deep voice, and Zhou Qing quickly brought over what he had requested.

That day, the woman did indeed return to the Ye family, but from this angle, only her back was visible, and her face was not.

Xiao Jingchen stared at the figure on the screen, but felt it was incredibly familiar.

Compared to Ye Chuchu, she seems more like that woman...

But then he remembered that on their wedding night, Lin Ran hadn't been touched by anyone. How could she possibly be this woman?

That means it can only be Ye Chuchu.

Xiao Jingchen tapped his long, slender fingers lightly on the table. Suddenly, he remembered how Ye Chuchu had advised him to rest in the study that day, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Yes, that understanding girl must be the one he's looking for.

"Zhou Qing, go to the Ye family."

Xiao Jingchen's voice was unusually gentle, carrying a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

When that familiar car stopped downstairs at the Ye family's house, Lin Ran was washing clothes in the yard.

Although the early autumn weather wasn't cold yet, the icy water was bone-chilling, and Lin Ran could barely endure it.

Upon catching sight of that familiar figure, Lin Ran's eyes lit up.

Regardless, she is still Xiao Jingchen's wife. If she begs that man, she might be able to leave this place.

Lin Ran became excited, but just as she stood up, the black hem of her dress fluttered past her and entered the living room.

They wouldn't even give her a condescending glance.

Lin Ran clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on the two people in the room.

Ye Chuchu had long been prepared to welcome Xiao Jingchen, but upon hearing the voice, she pretended to be surprised and raised her head.

"Brother Xiao, what brings you here?"

Lin Ran didn't hear Xiao Jingchen's reply, but she had just seen his eyes.

That gentle gaze, tinged with urgency, wasn't for her, but for her younger sister, Ye Chuchu.

Lin Ran didn't know what had happened, but she could tell that Xiao Jingchen's attitude towards Ye Chuchu had changed.

Xiao Jingchen stared at Ye Chuchu, his heart softening.

"Chuchu, do you remember the Nankang Hotel?"

The Nankang Hotel was the place where he and that woman had sex that night.

Ye Chuchu already knew about what happened that night from Wang Mei. When she heard Xiao Jingchen mention that place, her face turned pale, as if she remembered some nightmare.

"I……"

"The man that night was me."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Jingchen couldn't bear to ask any more questions. His heart had already melted completely, and he reached out and hugged her.

"Don't worry, I will be responsible for you."

"Really, Brother Xiao, was it really you who was there that night?"

Ye Chuchu blinked, a tear rolled down her cheek, and she buried herself in Xiao Jingchen's broad and strong embrace.

"It's me, I've finally found you."

Xiao Jingchen was extremely annoyed by Ye Chuchu, and he repeatedly tried to soothe the trembling woman.

In a corner where no one could see her, Ye Chuchu curled her lips into a smug smile, looking at Lin Ran standing at the door with a provocative glint in her eyes.

Lin Ran's face was already pale, but after seeing this scene, she lost all color and looked as if she would fall to the ground if blown by the wind.
