Chapter 119: Don’t be afraid, I’m here!

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Don’t be afraid, I’m here!

Feeling the sobs of Han Jingting in his arms, Chen Xuan felt a pang of discomfort in his heart.

During this period, their relationship had almost reached a freezing point, on the verge of divorce.

Han Jingting thought he was completely worthless, and he couldn’t help but feel Han Jingting was indifferent and heartless.

He thought he had lost all hope in this woman, but in this moment, as she cried in his arms, he finally realized, no matter how distant their hearts were or how stiff their relationship was, he still felt an immense heartache!

"Jingting, don’t be afraid, I’m here!"

Chen Xuan gently patted the woman in his arms, softly consoling her.

After a month, the hearts of two people who had grown distant finally felt a touch of closeness again.

However, before Chen Xuan could enjoy this brief moment, Ding Lijuan suddenly rushed over and yanked Han Jingting out of his arms.

"You loser, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Let me tell you, we couldn’t find anyone either, which is why we had to ask for your help. If you think you can take advantage of Jingting through this opportunity, you better get lost!"

Ding Lijuan had an imperious air, as if it was Chen Xuan who was seeking help, not her.

In fact, right after the incident occurred, Ding Lijuan’s first thought indeed wasn’t about Chen Xuan, but Meng Junchen!

However, as soon as Meng Junchen heard it was a kidnapping, and moreover, far away in Nanhu, he immediately lied about being out of town and unable to return anytime soon.

He did want to pursue Han Jingting, and he knew this was a great opportunity to do a favor, but he also understood that getting involved in such an issue would not only cost money but also might be dangerous.

Meng Junchen was always a shrewd person; naturally, he wouldn’t take this risk.

Left with no other options, Ding Lijuan couldn’t possibly expect the two women, herself and Han Jingting, to resolve the situation. That’s why Han Jingting ended up calling Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was genuinely displeased with Ding Lijuan’s attitude, but now was not the time to quarrel with her.

"Jingting, what exactly happened with Dad? Why would he be kidnapped for no reason?"

Han Jingting held back her tears and briefly recounted the events.

Half an hour earlier, they received a call stating that Han Bowwen had gambled away a large sum of money in Nanhu and they needed to pay ransom to release him, otherwise they would harm him. Furthermore, the kidnappers even sent a bloody severed finger to threaten them.

"How much does Dad owe them exactly?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Twenty... twenty million..."

"What..." Chen Xuan was utterly stunned.

He knew his father-in-law had a gambling habit, but he thought it was just small bets for fun and nothing serious. However, he never expected such a huge mess this time!

Ding Lijuan was so angry she cried, "This useless Han Bowwen is pushing us towards death. If I ever see him, I swear I’ll kill him myself! Wuu wuu wuu..."

Han Jingting was comforting her.

Chen Xuan’s mind was filled with suspicion.

Normally, a casino has its own rules, and when it comes to lending money, they would consider the borrower’s ability to repay.

For someone like Han Bowwen, at most, he might be able to borrow a few million.

Lending more than twenty million to an out-of-towner like Han Bowwen all at once?

It all seemed very abnormal...

But there was no time to think about that now; rescuing the person in danger was the most important thing.

Chen Xuan asked, "Jingting, what’s your plan now? Do you want to call the police?"

To his surprise, as soon as the words left his mouth, Ding Lijuan cursed him fiercely, "Call the police? Do you want your dad to die faster, is that it?"

Chen Xuan was speechless, simply asking a question and suddenly being accused so harshly.

There was no helping it, Ding Lijuan was growing increasingly disdainful of Chen Xuan, wishing that Meng Junchen, that young talent, could come and lend a hand—all their troubles would surely be easily solved.

Unlike Chen Xuan, that worthless wimp, who was useless even though he was present!

"If we’re not calling the police, then what’s your plan?" Chen Xuan asked, his patience wearing thin.

Ding Lijuan snorted coldly, "That’s none of your concern. We’ve already prepared the money, you just need to come along with us!"

Chen Xuan was quite irritated by Ding Lijuan’s attitude and couldn’t be bothered to ask any further.

However, before they set off, Chen Xuan still sent a message to Cui Fengjiu, informing her about the situation.

In Chen Xuan’s eyes, places like casinos were under the purview of the underworld, and Cui Fengjiu would likely know something about it. If the issue could be resolved through Cui Fengjiu, that would be for the best.

But before he could receive a reply from Cui Fengjiu, Ding Lijuan became impatient and urged Chen Xuan to start the car quickly.

With no other choice, Chen Xuan hurriedly put away his phone and hit the road.

Meanwhile, Cui Fengjiu, wrapped in a bath towel, emerged from the bathtub.

On her fair back was a tattoo of a blooming red lotus.

Although she was already in her forties, because she took good care of herself, Cui Fengjiu’s figure was in no way inferior to those twenty-something young girls, and she possessed a mature charm that the younger girls couldn’t match.

She picked up the mobile phone from the coffee table, and upon seeing the message from Chen Xuan, Cui Fengjiu’s face turned pale.

"This isn’t good, something’s going to happen!"

Elsewhere, Chen Xuan was already driving Han Jingting and the others towards Nanhu.

Huai City was adjacent to Nanhu, the distance wasn’t considered far.

A little over an hour later, the car stopped in a secluded and gloomy alley.

Han Jingting made a phone call, "I’m Han Bowwen’s daughter, we’ve arrived. Where are you?"

"Just wait!"

After a moment, a door nearby opened and several burly men walked out.

"Where’s my dad?" Han Jingting asked eagerly.

"Don’t worry, your dad is very comfortable with us. Just come with us," they replied.

Chen Xuan was worried and looked at Han Jingting, "Why don’t you stay here, and I’ll go with them alone."

Han Jingting hesitated for a moment, but ultimately gritted her teeth, "We’ll go with you!"

Then, the three of them followed the burly men through the small door.

Behind the small door was a staircase leading underground.

In fact, what lay beneath was the Vegas underground casino, but this passage led to a secret room next to the casino.

This secret room was designated for dealing with those who didn’t follow the rules in the casino.

After a short while, Chen Xuan and the others arrived at an underground room.

The room was filled with smoke, and about a dozen thugs were there smoking and drinking.

In the center of this underground room, a figure was tightly tied to a fixed chair—it was Han Bowwen!

At this moment, Han Bowwen was beaten black and blue, covered in blood, especially his left hand’s little finger, which was wrapped in a bandage but still bleeding profusely, a ghastly sight to behold.

"Dad!" Han Jingting cried out in shock, instantly breaking into tears.
