Chapter 242: Chapter 239: Chu Yan’s Words Can’t Be Trusted, Believing Them Will Bring Misfortune

He couldn’t help but kiss her, claiming he was sick just a moment ago, that he had no strength at all, yet now he had enough strength to hold down Zhaozhao’s resisting hands and insist on kissing her to his satisfaction.

"Ugh, do you even have a cold!"

Zhaozhao’s muffled voice carried anger, and she really wanted to beat him to death.

"I’m sick, feeling awful, everything hurts."

Chu Yan’s voice was low, carrying a dangerously inviting tone. It was so hot under the covers that Zhaozhao found it difficult to breathe, her consciousness began to blur, and she inadvertently tolerated his outrageous behavior.

Zhaozhao realized once again that not a single word Chu Yan said could be trusted!

Head spinning?

Body without strength?

Ha, damn it!

They had lived together for so long, and only recently Chu Yan had finally gotten her in his grasp, but still, he couldn’t share a room with her. So, seizing the opportunity, he did it with a sense of revenge.

He completely disregarded Zhaozhao’s pleas for mercy, and instead took malicious pleasure in making her cry.

Preferably, to the point where her throat went hoarse from it.

When she woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.

Thinking of Chu Yan’s actions the day before, Zhaozhao’s face turned deathly pale.

As a cultivator, her constitution was quite good, but at this moment, she still felt as though her body was heavy with lead, as if she was sinking into the bed.

Not only that, but she also felt extremely embarrassed about the previous night.

Because she cried again and even begged him in a low voice, but he ignored her!

The bed was a mess, but Zhaozhao’s body was clean, Chu Yan had already helped her wash.

By that time, Zhaozhao had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.

She felt terrible all over, not wanting to get up, but it was also uncomfortable to sleep in the untidy bed.

Zhaozhao struggled to sit up, and then, she was pinned back down by someone.

"Zhaozhao, Zhaozhao..." Chu Yan’s voice was husky and deep as he pressed her and kissed her, relishing the feeling of being able to embrace her upon waking.

Zhaozhao’s face was ashen, tinged with panic, "Get up right now!"

She dreaded that Chu Yan might do something again.

"I want to sleep in the same room as you."

He held her slender waist, his eyes dark and threatening in tone.

If Zhaozhao refused, it seemed like he would do something ominous the very next second.

Zhaozhao parted her lips, meeting his dangerous Phoenix Eyes, and catching onto his intent, her breath suddenly hitched, and the words of refusal she had were swallowed back.

"Hm? Say something."

Her expression evasive, Chu Yan pressed further.

"I’ll think about it."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Chu Yan lowered his head, moving even closer to her.

Being so close to one another made Zhaozhao increasingly uncomfortable, and she couldn’t help but start to struggle.

"Fine, fine, fine! I agree!"

She said through gritted teeth, then her voice softened a bit.

"But! You can’t do this every single day!"

Every day like this, how was she supposed to rest and sleep! It would kill her!

Chu Yan chuckled, a hint of mockery in his eyes, "What do you mean by ’this’?"

"...."

Seeing Zhaozhao’s eyes ablaze with anger, Chu Yan blinked, refraining from teasing her further, and got up to wash up first, and then brought clothes for Zhaozhao.

"Achoo!"

As they were getting ready to eat, Zhaozhao suddenly sneezed.

She felt listless all over, her head spinning and her throat more hoarse than ever, her voice muffled as she spoke.

She must have caught a cold from Chu Yan!

"Time to eat."

Chu Yan finished cooking and brought out the food, then looked to give her a kiss.

Qin Zhao slapped his forehead and pushed him away with a dark expression, "Stay away from me!"

She nearly gnashed her teeth, "I’ve caught a cold! I never get colds, so it must be your fault! After dinner, get out! Don’t let me see you!"

Chu Yan did indeed catch a cold yesterday, although it wasn’t as serious as he’d let on.

After a night of fever reducers and sweating it out, his cold was long gone. But now Qin Zhao felt miserable, nearly wanting to kill him.

Chu Yan felt very guilty and quickly got some cold medicine for her.

"Next time I get a cold, I definitely won’t touch you."

He looked at Qin Zhao with puppy-dog eyes, his gaze sincere.

Qin Zhao ignored him throughout the meal and took the cold medicine afterward, all on her own.

While Chu Yan did the dishes and house chores, he nervously fiddled with the apron’s hem, keeping an eye on her.

"Zhaozhao."

"Zhaozhao."

He called her several times, but she didn’t respond.

Before long, there was a loud bang.

The front door shut.

Qin Zhao had left without saying where she was going, leaving him alone at home.

-

The police had been investigating all night and not only suspected Feng Aicai and Qin Kejing’s cases were linked, but also thought he might be connected to a kidnapping and murder case from years ago.

Huo Xun hadn’t slept all night, going over all the files from the past case.

He uncovered several suspicious points, all pointing to Feng Aicai.

After contacting the relevant officers, they brought Feng Aicai to the police station and questioned him about the related events, but he claimed to know nothing and expressed his anxiety over not being able to find his sister.

"At first, Feng Aicai didn’t show this attitude at all, he wasn’t worried about his sister in the least. How come he’s worried now?"

"Maybe he’s just pretending since we’ve restricted his personal freedom."

"What if he and his sister Feng Aiyuan collaborated in kidnapping Qin Kejing, extorting the Qin Family? Feng Aicai was always at home, was it Feng Aiyuan who acted on Qin Kejing’s end?"

The officers discussed together, suspecting that Feng Aiyuan had other accomplices.

Otherwise, how could a young girl have the guts to do something so cruel?

And to deliver the fingernail and dress fabric pieces to the courier company without leaving any traces at the scene.

"Captain Huo, there’s been a conflict between the victim’s family and the suspect! They’ve started fighting!"

An officer reported, and the others promptly ceased their discussion.

The fight was between Qin Siyu and Feng Aicai.

When they arrived, both men were seeing red.

"I treated you like a friend! How could you do something like this! I’m going to kill you today, there’s no way I’m giving you two hundred million! Where would I get that much money to give to you?"

"You old bastard! I told you it wasn’t me! And I invested so much money in you before, and now you hit me! Give me my money back, give me my money!!"

"I knew you couldn’t bear it, that’s why you kidnapped Jingjing! You want me to pay back? No way!"

The police separated the two men, and Huo Xun looked at them with a pensive expression.

They were then taken to separate interrogation rooms.

Huo Xun first went to see Qin Siyu, discontentedly saying, "Why did you hit him? Weren’t you supposed to follow our plan, get the money ready first to lure out the kidnapper?"

Qin Siyu pulled a wry smile, his expression troubled.

"Officer, it’s not that I don’t want to prepare the money, but we truly don’t have that much liquid cash in our accounts!"

"How much is there? At least get some cash ready."

"I’m not paying! If you ask me, just arrest that Feng Aicai and put him through rigorous interrogation! You’ll definitely find out where my daughter is, he surely did it!

An officer told me, the handwriting on the ransom note, it’s his sister’s!"
