Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 106: Leave Ao City in Half an Hour

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Leave Ao City in Half an Hour

When Ding Man returned, she acted as if nothing had happened, as though she truly had just gone to wash her hands and touch up her makeup.

She continued to chat with Ye Yan about all sorts of things, and in the end, they exchanged contact information.

It wasn’t because they had a particularly good impression of each other, but rather as a form of social courtesy.

Chen Yiren and Fu Xingzhou were in collaboration, and as Chen Yiren’s fiancée, she definitely needed to maintain a good relationship with Fu Xingzhou’s wife, even if it was just for show.

After dinner, the group headed to the Pujing Casino.

Ye Yan didn’t like to gamble and simply sat beside Fu Xingzhou, watching him play cards.

On the other hand, Ding Man played with great enthusiasm.

People like her could switch their personalities based on the occasion, composed in formal settings and letting loose in places of entertainment.

She showed annoyance when she lost and would hug Chen Yiren and cheer when she won.

In front of others, Chen Yiren also gave her plenty of face, appearing to be truly loving and affectionate.

"Aren’t you satisfied with your own husband?" Fu Xingzhou asked with a hint of jealousy as he straightened her face, "Why keep staring at others?"

"I just don’t understand some things."

"Don’t understand? Tell me about it."

Ye Yan fiddled with a chip in front of him, "What exactly is Miss Shen to Mr. Chen? The other woman?"

Logically speaking, since Chen Yiren was already engaged, but he still maintained an ambiguous relationship with Shen Wan’er.

If viewed in a conventional sense, this would place Shen Wan’er in the position of the other woman, which is something that would be condemned by people.

"I don’t think Miss Shen is that kind of person."

"Men, they all have their flaws. They eat from the bowl but look into the pot. They have a cinnabar mole in their heart and a ’first love’ above their head."

Ye Yan curled his lips, "Mr. Fu seems to understand quite well."

"I’m different. I have neither a cinnabar mole nor a ’first love.’ From the past to the present, I only have you."

"Fu Xingzhou, if you bring up the past, we’ll need to have a serious talk."

Fu Xingzhou turned his head and kissed her on the lips, "Yanyan, I was wrong, the bastard Fu Xingzhou from before is dead now."

"Don’t talk about death." Being a doctor, she was used to life and death and couldn’t stand such talk.

"Alright, I won’t say it." Every time he called her "Yanyan" softly, he sounded so deeply affectionate that, even knowing the tricks of this man, Ye Yan was still moved.

Fu Xingzhou nonchalantly turned over his cards, "If you want to see Shen Wan’er that much, then go see her. She’s also in Ao City."

Ye Yan looked at him in surprise, then glanced at Chen Yiren.

Chen Yiren was giving Ding Man guidance, the two of them sitting very close and whispering together like the most intimate of lovers.

Boss Chen came on a business trip, brought his fiancée, and also brought his lover, truly a master of time management.

The card game was halfway through when Chen Yiren suddenly took a call.

Whatever was said on the other side, his expression drastically changed.

"Xingzhou." Chen Yiren walked over quickly, his eyes dark and solemn, but his lips trembling slightly, "I need your help."

His bodyguard had called to say that Shen Wan’er had received a phone call at the hotel and then left. The bodyguard had been following her, but midway, a car suddenly charged over and rammed his vehicle to the side of the road. He was trapped by the car door and took a long time to free himself.

By the time he got out, he couldn’t find Shen Wan’er.

The bodyguard thought Shen Wan’er would come to find Chen Yiren, but he hadn’t seen her at all.

Ao City was Fu Xingzhou’s territory, and the search for people could only be initiated by him.

"Miss Shen, she came to Ao City too?" Ding Man seemed very surprised, "Yiren, why didn’t you tell me? Her health is poor, and I could have arranged for someone to take care of her."

Chen Yiren looked at her intently, his tone icy, "I hope this matter has nothing to do with you."

"How could it be related to me? Miss Shen is your sister, and I have always treated her like one. When we get married, I plan to ask her to be my bridesmaid. Why would I want to harm her? Besides, this is Ao City, not Capital City. Do you think I have the ability to make someone disappear in Ao City?"

Ding Man, emotionally agitated, spoke, tears falling.

Chen Yiren took a deep breath, "I’ll have someone take you back to the hotel."

Fu Xingzhou accessed the surveillance cameras along the route and discovered that Shen Wan’er had taken a taxi from the hotel.

The taxi was using a fake license plate; when searching the taxi company’s records, they had no registration for it.

This was a premeditated kidnapping. At present, it was unclear who the target actually was.

It could be Chen Yiren or Shen Wan’er herself.

"The person might have targeted me," Chen Yiren said agitatedly in the car, pinching the bridge of his nose, "Many people from Capital City are eager to get a piece of Ao City’s casino industry. They definitely won’t let me monopolize this lucrative opportunity."

"If they were targeting you, they would’ve kidnapped Ding Man," Fu Xingzhou remarked, taking a drag of his cigarette, "Whoever knows the true nature of your relationship with Shen Wan’er becomes the prime suspect."

Chen Yiren had overlooked this point in his anxiety earlier.

"Only you knew about Wan’er’s visit to Ao City."

Fu Xingzhou glanced at him, "Who did you take the call from in the corridor? Ding Man followed you out as well."

Chen Yiren’s expression turned frosty, "Even if she knew Wan’er had come to Ao City, she couldn’t possibly know where she was staying."

"If she doesn’t know, there’s always someone who does."

Ding Man wanted to get rid of Shen Wan’er, while there were those in Capital City who didn’t want Chen Yiren to collaborate with Fu Xingzhou in Ao City.

If both parties combined forces, they could pull off this deed.

"If I’m not mistaken, you’ll be receiving a call from them very soon."

No sooner had Fu Xingzhou spoken than Chen Yiren’s phone did indeed start ringing.

The incoming call number was hidden, not displayed.

They exchanged a glance, and he hurriedly pressed the answer button.

"Brother," came the anxious and fearful voice of Shen Wan’er.

"Wan’er," Chen Yiren, hearing her voice, felt a twinge of heartache, "Wan’er, how are you, are you hurt?"

"Mr. Chen," Shen Wan’er’s voice was replaced by a male voice, "If you want your woman to survive, then cease your partnership with the Fu Family. If one’s appetite is too big, it can only lead to a burst belly."

"Don’t hurt Wan’er," Chen Yiren hurriedly said, "We can negotiate terms, but you must ensure her safety. If even a single hair on her head is harmed, I will make you pay."

"Rest assured, Mr. Chen, if you leave Ao City now and never set foot here again, your woman will return to you unharmed the day after."

"How can I trust you?"

"Mr. Chen seems to lack the leverage to negotiate terms with me," the other party sneered, "Your woman seems to be bleeding down there, but we didn’t do it. However, if you don’t make a decision soon, then I cannot guarantee her safety anymore. You have half an hour to leave Ao City!"

The call ended.

Chen Yiren had played it on speaker, and everyone in the car had heard it loud and clear.

"What do you plan to do?" Fu Xingzhou extinguished his cigarette, "I can find Miss Shen, but I can’t promise to do so within half an hour."

The perpetrator’s plan was proceeding so smoothly; it must have been meticulously planned, including taking into consideration Fu Xingzhou’s influence in Ao City.
