Chapter 1200

Xie Yina picked up a pillow from the bed and threw it at Chen Xiaoyu.

Chen Xiaoyu swatted it away and lunged straight at Xie Yina.

One hand clamped around her throat, while the other pressed against her abdomen.

"Aren't you afraid of hurting the baby?"

Xie Yina was instantly filled with terror, her mind a tangled mess of straw; she wanted to fight back, but she didn't have an ounce of strength in her body.

Chen Xiaoyu leaned in close to her ear, making her skin crawl, and she instinctively closed her eyes.

Chen Xiaoyu knew his threat had worked.

Seeing Xie Yina, Chen Xiaoyu picked her up, placed her on the bed, and laughed triumphantly, "If you had been obedient earlier, wouldn't you have avoided all this suffering?"

After saying this, his gaze swept over the area beneath the television, where a camera was hidden.

The task Li Wenbo had given him was clear: as long as he successfully completed this, his 200,000 debt would be wiped clean.

Furthermore, Li Wenbo had promised to give Chen Xiaoyu an extra bonus.

Chen Xiaoyu attempted to take off Xie Yina's top.

The room's doorbell suddenly rang.

Chen Xiaoyu frowned and looked at Xie Yina in surprise, "You didn't come here alone?"

Xie Yina looked at Chen Xiaoyu coldly, "If you let go now, you still have a chance to turn back."

Chen Xiaoyu yanked Xie Yina up violently, and at the same time, the pounding on the door outside grew louder.

"Chen Xiaoyu, you bastard, open the door right now! If you dare to hurt my sister, I will definitely take your life!"

It was Xie Kai; he had arrived just in time!

Chen Xiaoyu took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, twisted Xie Yina around, walked to the door, and pulled it open.

Xie Kai saw Xie Yina being held tightly by Chen Xiaoyu, who was wearing nothing but a pair of boxers.

Instantly, he was consumed by rage, his eyes turning bloodshot!

"Chen Xiaoyu, you son of a bitch, let her go right now, or I'll kill you today."

Chen Xiaoyu glared viciously at Xie Kai, his tone full of resentment: "Weren't you acting so high and mighty a few days ago? I asked to borrow 200,000 from you, and you refused point-blank. If you had lent it to me back then, wouldn't all of this have been avoided?"

Xie Kai tried to restrain his anger and pressed his hands downward, "I apologize to you; I admit my attitude toward you was poor before. How about this: I agree to lend you the 200,000. As long as you don't hurt my sister, we can negotiate any terms."

Chen Xiaoyu said coldly, "It's too late to say that now! As long as you two cooperate obediently, I won't hurt her. Otherwise, a man with nothing to lose fears nothing; at worst, we'll both go down together. Think about it: I'm just one person, but she's pregnant—that's two lives!"

Xie Kai was trembling with rage and shouted sternly, "Do you know that you are committing a crime?"

Chen Xiaoyu laughed out loud, "If you've got the guts, go call the police! Then, Mayor Jiang will become a laughingstock."

Jiang Jing was Xie Yina's Achilles' heel.

Xie Yina pleaded softly to Xie Kai, "Don't call the police, I beg you, please don't call the police."

Xie Kai was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to handle the situation.

Just then, footsteps echoed in the hallway, and a man and a woman walked out of the elevator area arm-in-arm, happening to witness the scene at the door.

The man and woman looked at the scene with expressions of surprise.

The woman spoke first, her tone full of astonishment: "W-what is going on here?"

Seeing that things might be exposed, Chen Xiaoyu roared at the two of them, "Stop sticking your damn noses in other people's business and get the hell out of here!"

"Okay, okay, carry on with whatever you were doing, we were just passing by, just passing by," the woman said hurriedly, waving her hands with a panicked tone.

"Right, right, we didn't see anything, we didn't see anything," the man also chimed in quickly, pulling the woman away as he tried to leave.

Because Chen Xiaoyu was holding Xie Yina in front of him, he didn't see her expression.

Xie Yina recognized the man and woman.

The man was Tang Ye, and the woman was Jiang Rou.

How could they possibly be here?

Walking arm-in-arm like a couple!

This was definitely not a coincidence!

Her feelings at this moment were incredibly complex.

The appearance of Tang Ye and Jiang Rou undoubtedly increased her chances of escaping.

But at the same time, her secret had also been discovered by them.

Rewinding to ten minutes ago...

Tang Ye had received a call from Jiang Rou and, feeling uneasy, hurried over to meet her.

Not knowing which room Xie Yina had gone to, Tang Ye was prepared to have Zheng Shaokang contact the hotel to inquire.

Just then, they happened to see Xie Kai appear in a rush, so he and Jiang Rou followed him quietly.

As a result, they saw this shocking scene before them—

Xie Yina was being held by the throat by a man wearing only boxers, her face deathly pale.

And Xie Kai was in a standoff with the man...

The two of them hid in the shadows and efficiently discussed a "strategy to break the deadlock."

"I know that man; his name is Chen Xiaoyu, and he's Xie Yina's ex-boyfriend! I never expected her to be secretly meeting her ex; that's really going too far!"

"If it were just a secret meeting with an ex, why would Xie Kai be so agitated and acting like he's ready to risk his life? I think Xie Yina must be being forced."

"You mean Xie Yina has some dirt on her that Chen Xiaoyu is using, and Xie Kai is here to help her out of the situation?"

"It's very likely. Regardless, Xie Yina is in danger right now. We have to go over and lend a hand."

"If we rush over rashly, will Chen Xiaoyu be driven to desperation and do something extreme?"

"How about this: you and I will pretend to be a couple checking into the hotel, and while he's not paying attention, I'll move quickly to subdue him!"

"Pretend to be a couple? I can't believe you came up with that," Jiang Rou said, rolling her eyes hard at Tang Ye.

However, complaints aside, she still nodded and followed Tang Ye's arrangements.

"You act according to my plan in a moment! We'll do it like this!"

After hearing Tang Ye's plan, Jiang Rou widened her eyes, "This is so childish? Will it work?"

Tang Ye said confidently, "The simpler it is, the more unexpected it can be. I don't think that kid looks like a smart person; if you play something complex with him, he might not be able to react, and it would easily alert the enemy instead."

"Fine, then I'll listen to you!"

Subsequently, it was the scene that Chen Xiaoyu saw.

Tang Ye and Jiang Rou pretended to be intimate, arm in arm, as they passed in front of Chen Xiaoyu.

However, at the moment they were about to brush past, Jiang Rou suddenly let out a cry, her body went limp, and she fell to the ground.

Chen Xiaoyu's attention was instantly drawn over.

At the critical moment, Tang Ye did not go to help the fallen Jiang Rou up.

Instead, taking advantage of Chen Xiaoyu's distraction, he sidestepped and rushed to Chen Xiaoyu's left side.

Clenching his fist, he struck Chen Xiaoyu hard on the chin.

Chen Xiaoyu was stunned by this sudden punch!

Weren't this couple just passing by?

How could they suddenly lash out and beat him up?

Before he even had time to react!

A wave of intense pain came from his arm, piercing and bone-chilling.

"Damn, it hurts so much!"

Immediately after, he felt as if his abdomen had been struck by a giant boulder.

That indescribable, excruciating pain instantly spread throughout his entire body, making him almost unable to breathe.

Tang Ye seized the opportunity to exert force, pinned Chen Xiaoyu to the ground, and held him down firmly...

Chen Xiaoyu lay on the ground, glaring fiercely at Xie Yina, his eyes filled with rage and resentment.

He hadn't expected that besides Xie Kai, there was another backup plan.

This couple was actually her reinforcements!

"You actually dared to double-cross me; I will definitely make you lose your reputation and have nothing left!"

Tang Ye looked down at Xie Yina and inadvertently noticed a pool of red liquid at her feet. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly urged Xie Kai, "Hurry and take her to the hospital; she must have suffered a miscarriage threat!"

Xie Yina's face was as pale as paper; she bit her lip tightly, shook her head, and said, "No, I'm not going to the hospital. If this matter gets blown out of proportion, it will damage Mayor Jiang's reputation; I absolutely cannot go to the hospital!"

Jiang Rou sighed, "What time is it now? Can reputation be more important than human life and the child?"

Xie Kai no longer hesitated and quickly took out his phone to dial 120 for emergency services.

At the same time, Tang Ye dialed 110 to call the police.

In the gap while waiting for the ambulance and police cars to arrive, Tang Ye walked into the room,

And after comparing the angles, he quickly found a camera that was still running underneath the TV cabinet diagonally opposite the bed...
