Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 107:

Chapter 107: Chapter 107:

Chen Yiren fell silent for a moment, "I need to borrow your private jet."

His intention was to agree to the kidnapper’s demands. For Shen Wan’er, he was almost ready to give up his business in Ao City without hesitation.

"It’s regrettable, but I support your decision," Fu Xingzhou said as he called to arrange for the plane.

A plane cannot just take off when desired; filing a flight plan and requesting a route all take time.

Ye Yan had been sitting in the co-pilot’s seat the whole time. Fu Xingzhou was supposed to take her home, but because she was worried about Shen Wan’er, she insisted on staying.

"The voice on the phone just now, it sounded very familiar to me," Ye Yan suddenly turned around, her eyes clear, "The area under the Dangzi Bridge has been under maintenance, and I heard the same sound there before."

That day, she had driven alone to Dangzi Bridge, wandering aimlessly at the bridgehead, when that distinctive sound had imprinted itself on her memory.

Now, hearing it again suddenly awakened her dormant memory, making her even more certain that the background noise on the phone call had originated from near the Dangzi Bridge.

Unable to resist, Fu Xingzhou reached out and pinched her face, "Alright, I’ll have someone look into it."

He trusted her, unprincipled!

Chen Yiren couldn’t help but send a grateful look his way. If they could pinpoint the location directly, it would speed up the search.

At that moment, Chen Yiren’s phone rang again.

But it wasn’t the kidnapper.

"Dad," Chen Yiren murmured.

"I heard someone’s using your sister to force you to give up the business in Ao City," Mr. Chen said sternly, "What are you planning to do?"

"I’ll head back to the Capital City immediately."

"Nonsense," Mr. Chen’s anger surged, "You are the successor to the group, carrying the future of the entire Chen Family on your shoulders. How can I dare entrust the whole group to you if you can’t prioritize? You should be very clear about how important the business in Ao City is to our group’s future development. By giving up so easily, how do you think the entire Capital City will view the Chen Family?"

"So we should ignore Wan’er’s life and death for the sake of the group?"

Mr. Chen took a deep breath, "We’ve raised her in the Chen Family, we have done more than our duty. We can’t sacrifice the interests of the group for her alone. Although I’m anxious and heartbroken over this, we must consider the bigger picture and not succumb to sentimental weaknesses. No matter what, you must not return to the Capital City, and this side will not allow you to come back."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yiren’s face was masked in shadows.

Shen Wan’er wasn’t of Chen Family blood, so naturally, the Chen Family wouldn’t care about her life and death.

No, even if she were a true young lady of the Chen Family, in the face of interests, she was destined to be sacrificed.

This is what defines noble families: putting family interests first, everything else second, even their own lives and wealth.

"What do you plan to do? Defy the chairman’s orders or obediently stay in Ao City?"

Chen Yiren’s face hid in the shadows, the turmoil in his eyes obscure.

For the sake of the family, he chose a woman he did not love to marry and to carry on the Chen lineage, while the woman he loved most could only be his younger sister.

The pain of unrequited love, he bore alone, but who would understand him, empathize with him?

Now, they even wanted him to give up her life.

"I won’t give up on Wan’er," Chen Yiren said with determined resolve, "No matter what I have to give up, I will never give up on her."

"Even if it means not being the Kyoto Prince?"

"If not being him is what it takes," Chen Yiren agreed.

Fu Xingzhou chuckled, "No one in the Chen Family is more suitable than you; besides, you are their only heir. If you don’t take the role, who will? Defying the chairman will certainly lead to punishment, but that’s of little consequence to you. However, Shen Wan’er is different; the Chen Family is aware of how important she is to you. Guess whether they’ll keep her by your side as a potential weakness others could exploit to control you."

Chen Yiren turned to look at him, and after a moment, he gave a bitter smile, "I suppose the Fu Family doesn’t share this kind of prejudice."

"It’s not about not having prejudices, but about becoming someone who can dictate their own destiny," Fu Xingzhou lifted an eyebrow, "The chairman is getting old; it’s time he enjoyed some peace and quiet."

Chen Yiren was shocked, but he quickly composed himself and spoke in a serious tone, "Xingzhou, help me."

Ye Yan: ...

Were these two plotting a rebellion? Was this something she should be hearing?

She desperately wanted to cover her ears and avoid getting mixed up in the power struggles of the bosses — the less she knew, the longer she would live.

"Shh." Fu Xingzhou made a silencing gesture, his tone playful, "Dr. Ye is timid, don’t scare her."

Ye Yan pretended not to hear, looking straight ahead nonchalantly.

She was beginning to regret getting into the car.

"Sir." Fu Xingzhou’s man called in, "We’ve locked onto Miss Shen’s location."

As expected, Shen Wan’er was near Dangzi Bridge.

Chen Yiren looked at Ye Yan gratefully. He hadn’t expected Fu Xingzhou’s wife to be so extraordinarily perceptive. If not for her picking up on the clue from the phone call, they wouldn’t have found Shen Wan’er so quickly.

With Fu Xingzhou taking action, everything fell into place.

Half an hour later, Shen Wan’er was already sitting in Fu Xingzhou’s Zhoushan Villa.

She had just taken a hot bath, yet the fear seemed to linger, leaving her face completely pale.

Chen Yiren was taking care of her in the room, making it inappropriate for Fu Xingzhou and Ye Yan to interrupt.

It was Ye Yan’s first visit to Zhoushan Villa.

She knew this was where Fu Xingzhou used to live, a house with three floors above ground and two below, a garden at the front, and a swimming pool at the back.

He had such a luxurious house at his disposal yet chose to live in a simple flat with her every day.

Although the flat would be considered luxurious by most, it paled in comparison to this place.

Shen Wan’er had just gone through a life-threatening ordeal, experiencing a great shock. It wasn’t the right time for her to stay in a hotel with people coming and going.

As the host, it was most considerate of Fu Xingzhou to arrange for them to stay at his home, offering the sincerest hospitality.

"Do you want to move here?" Fu Xingzhou personally brewed tea.

His hands were attractive, shining as they held the ancient porcelain, his motions of brewing tea as smooth as flowing clouds. The taste became a mere backdrop to the pleasing sight.

"No," Ye Yan shook her head, "It’s too far from the hospital."

She wasn’t confident in her driving, which made her hesitant.

But then she thought, she couldn’t just keep Fu Xingzhou living in a flat because it was close to the hospital, he was a man who enjoyed the finer things, and living there was truly beneath him.

"I’ll think about it some more."

Fu Xingzhou placed a cup of tea in front of her, "Afraid of discomforting me?"

The man was smart, always impossible to deceive.

"You don’t need to put up with me, the environment here is so nice, it’s comfortable to live in," Ye Yan took a sip of the tea and found it richly fragrant, "It’s really delicious."

She usually didn’t drink much tea and couldn’t tell good from bad, but this tea revealed its quality as soon as it touched her palate.

"Where you live isn’t important, what matters is who you’re with," Fu Xingzhou said calmly as he sipped his tea, uttering a cheesy line.

Ye Yan’s cheeks warmed slightly, "You always know what to say."

Suddenly she remembered something, "Ye Zhun will be on winter break soon, I need to return to the Daqian Creek area and stay for a while."

The man in front of her visibly displayed profound displeasure.
