I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 678 Waiting

Chapter 678: Chapter 678 Waiting

"Forget it, there’s nothing I can do now; all I can do is search for live reports online, hoping to find some useful information. If I were to message him now, I might disturb his mood, and I really don’t know how things are. I’ll just have to bear with it."

Tang Yuchan had to admit Kang Yue was a very sensible woman. Even in such a crisis, she prioritized the other person’s feelings, always considering if she might be a disturbance. Indeed, she seemed a good woman, and Kang Yue’s actions took Tang Yuchan by surprise.

Tang Yuchan had thought that Kang Yue would be extremely agitated upon seeing the message and might want to rush to the scene, but she later realized that Kang Yue was even more rational than she had imagined. That was for the best. If her own sister had lost her mind, Tang Yuchan wasn’t sure she could have stopped her. Hoping that all was well on the other side, she thought this while starting to check her phone for any updates.

Some wealthy heirs had distanced themselves from danger and were standing aside, filming videos and taking photos to upload to the internet, all talking about how terrifying the experience had been.

Whenever she found any information, she would pass the phone to Kang Yue to see. It was just a small photo, but Kang Yue caught an extremely subtle detail in it. If she hadn’t been paying close attention, she would have easily missed it.

And it must be said, Kang Yue discerned a detail that had been bothering her.

She immediately took the other person’s phone and said, "Let me see this, I want to see what exactly is going on." She zoomed in repeatedly until she saw the woman she didn’t want to encounter. As it turned out, she had come after all. Shen Dong—Kang Yue scanned the photos quickly, relieved to find that Shen Dong was unharmed.

He was standing in a safe area at the top, hesitating to leave, still waiting—perhaps he wanted to rescue that woman? The very thought filled her with discomfort. Was there someone more important to him than her?

"Do you think he doesn’t want to come back because of this woman? Just look at him, even though he’s away from danger, he still stands there watching. It must be because of her, I understand now.

That’s why his messages are so slow and intermittent. So, it’s like this... I underestimated her too much, thought this devoted heart would never waver. Seems I was thinking too much."

"Kang Yue, don’t overthink it now, it could all be a misunderstanding, just a coincidence that she’s there. Besides, the responsibility is on him, even if he wants to leave, he can’t just abandon everyone else. You have to trust him. When he comes back, it might be too late to explain properly. And isn’t your most important task right now to heal?

You know he cares about you. If you misunderstand him just because of this photo, he’ll regret it so much that he’d feel like he could never wash himself clean, even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Don’t you agree?"

While comforting her with these words, Tang Yuchan thought to herself that she could only help this man so much. If he caused any more trouble, she wouldn’t bother with it anymore; if she did, her sister would hate her. With a heavy heart, Tang Yuchan felt extremely guilty.

Kang Yue pondered for a moment and found her sister’s words quite sensible. Well, what could she do but wait until he came back and explained everything to her in person? Imagining and guessing wildly would serve no purpose now.

Calming down, Shen Dong was anxiously observing the situation below. The kidnappers had identified a few particularly affluent individuals, considering the young woman they had abducted insignificant—an ordinary miss with no use, so they set her aside, posing no threat.

A young woman wouldn’t dare to escape, so there was no vigilance against her.

Little did they know, she would be the one to break their taboo. They were aware that the most important person was the fair-faced young man at the front—Zhang Xu, a well-known figure here. If he got caught and images got out, it would tarnish the Zhang Family’s reputation.

Zhang Xu deeply regretted coming to this place today. Once back, he was sure to be grounded for days. It was beyond annoying; he’d been out having fun, and now facing confinement was unbearable. But there was no choice. Had he known, he would have left and not stayed for the spectacle, regretting it now more than ever.

"Hey, do you guys not recognize whose son I’m holding? This is Mr. Zhang, the Zhang Family’s youngest son, Zhang Xu. Who dares make a move? I don’t believe any of you are bold enough to take that risk. If the Zhang Family seeks retribution, how many of your heads will suffice? I guess none, right?

If you’re smart, you’ll clear a path for us to leave, and I won’t harm the hostage. But if you upset me, I’ll start with Mr. Zhang Xu, and then let’s see what Zhang Jiahui does to you. You have a few seconds to back off, or else I’ll act as soon as I finish counting."

These words came from the third brother, known for being swift with handling tasks; hence, the second brother entrusted him with this mission. The second brother could have done it himself, but he didn’t want to stain his hands with too much blood in case he needed a clean getaway later; it was all part of a back-up plan.

But the third brother, being somewhat foolish, didn’t anticipate this situation, believing the second brother had confidence in him, which is why he was given this crucial task. He was overjoyed, trembling with the knife in hand, unaware that he was being used. The situation was extremely urgent.

Because if anything happened to Zhang Xu, it would mean disaster for everyone, especially Shen Dong, who didn’t wish to see Zhang Xu get hurt. If the grudge against Zhang Xu wasn’t redirected towards the kidnappers, there was a real possibility of revenge.
