Chapter 962: Finish her off!

Chen Zekai was also very clear that since something happened to Ye Zhangmin on his turf, he had to bear some responsibility.

If Ye Zhangmin managed to turn danger into safety, everything would be fine, but if she really met with some misfortune, then his good days would be over.

What's more, Ye Chen's mother-in-law had also gone missing along with Ye Zhangmin this time.

Therefore, he further increased the search efforts, even mobilizing all the security guards of Bai Jinhangong, just to find the whereabouts of Ye Zhangmin and Ma Lan as soon as possible.

However, the clues needed to be unraveled bit by bit starting from the beauty salon, so it was impossible to find them in a short while.

Ye Chen had also left home by this time to meet up with Chen Zekai at the beauty salon.

He was worried about two things at the moment: one was that Ye Zhangmin might expose his identity to Ma Lan, and the other was that Ma Lan might fall victim to the kidnappers.

In truth, even now, he didn't have much family affection for Ma Lan.

After all, Ma Lan had been bullying and humiliating him for more than three years, and it was only recently that things had improved.

If he could choose, Ye Chen would prefer Ma Lan to just vanish from the face of the earth.

However, at the thought of his wife, Xiao Churan, Ye Chen felt a bit reluctant.

Xiao Churan was, after all, very kind, and she had been quite filial to Ma Lan. If Ma Lan were to disappear for no reason, the blow to her would certainly be extraordinary.

Last time Ma Lan was in the detention center and went missing for just a few days, Xiao Churan was almost driven crazy with worry. If Ma Lan met with any accident this time, she would definitely be even more worried than last time.

And with the New Year just a couple of days away, if Ma Lan met with any accident at this time, the family wouldn't even be able to have a good New Year.

Therefore, Ye Chen still hoped to find Ma Lan and rescue her safely if possible.

At this very moment, in the abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.

Ma Lan and Ye Zhangmin were tied together. The reason the Xiao father and son hadn't let anyone sleep with Ma Lan yet was mainly because they wanted to let Wu Donghai come and inspect the work first.

After all, one is soft-spoken after eating someone's food and short-handed after taking someone's gifts.

The Xiao family had received so many benefits from Wu Donghai but had never followed Wu Donghai's instructions to make Ye Chen's family miserable, so Wu Donghai himself felt very insecure.

This was mainly because the Tang Chen villa they were living in now wasn't their own, but one Wu Donghai had lent them.

Moreover, the money Wu Donghai invested in the Xiao Group also came with conditions. Wu Donghai could withdraw all of it at any time, and then the Xiao family would be left with nothing again.

Therefore, they were single-mindedly hoping to please Wu Donghai and make him satisfied.

That way, they could also get more benefits from the Wu family.

Wu Donghai was sitting in the car on his way to the warehouse, feeling very excited.

During this time, although he had been busy trying to make the Wu family rise again and couldn't spare the time to fight with Ye Chen, his hatred for Ye Chen had never diminished.

Hearing this time that Xiao Changgan was going to make a move on Ye Chen's mother-in-law first, Wu Donghai was naturally overjoyed, fearing he would miss this good show, so he had his subordinates drive him over to watch the live broadcast.

Just as they arrived, Xiao Hailong ran over himself to open the warehouse gate, letting the Rolls-Royce carrying Wu Donghai drive in.

Xiao Changgan walked excitedly to the car door and took the initiative to open the back seat door for Wu Donghai.

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Changgan bowed humbly and said: "Wu Zong, you're here!"

Wu Donghai nodded, saw Ma Lan tied back-to-back with Ye Zhangmin on the ground, sneered, and said: "This is Ye Chen's mother-in-law, right?"

"That's right!" Xiao Changgan said with a hint of resentment: "This woman is the number one shrew in the universe, cheap to the bone! Let someone handle her in a bit to help you enjoy the show, Wu Zong!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Lan begged hurriedly: "I beg you to let me go. I have no grudge against you, why are you treating me like this..."

Wu Donghai shouted coldly: "No grudge against me? Do you know that your son-in-law, Ye Chen, is my irreconcilable enemy?! Since you've fallen into my hands today, don't blame me for being ruthless; blame yourself for finding a good son-in-law!"

Ma Lan was on the verge of a breakdown, crying and shouting: "I'm wronged! Ye Chen isn't a son-in-law I found for myself; he's the live-in son-in-law Xiao Changgan's father recruited for the Xiao family. I was strongly against it at the time, but the old man wouldn't listen to me!"

Wu Donghai said with disdain: "Stop talking this nonsense to me. Anyone around Ye Chen is a thorn in my side!"

As he spoke, his expression was somewhat excited but also somewhat regretful: "It's a pity, you are ultimately just Ye Chen's mother-in-law, not his direct relative. If I could find a direct relative of Ye Chen first and then finish her off with a knife in front of Ye Chen, that would be great!"

As soon as Wu Donghai said this, Ma Lan felt the woman tied back-to-back with her tremble violently.

Ye Zhangmin was almost scared to the point of wetting herself.

She had thought she was just unlucky to have encountered the enemy of that cheap woman, Ma Lan.

But now she understood that who she had encountered wasn't Ma Lan's enemy, but Ye Chen's enemy!

And the other party was even regretting not having the chance to kill a direct relative of Ye Chen...

Wasn't she a direct relative of Ye Chen? She was Ye Chen's aunt!

At this time, Wu Donghai looked at Xiao Changgan and said: "Old Xiao, when can you kidnap Ye Chen's wife?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changgan was somewhat embarrassed and said: "Wu Zong, Xiao Churan is my own niece after all, I can't bring myself to do that..."

Wu Donghai waved his hand: "I don't want to kill his wife! His wife should be kept for the second to last, to be killed in front of Ye Chen before killing Ye Chen!"

Wu Donghai paused slightly and added: "I mean, kill a direct relative with a blood connection to Ye Chen first to get a kick out of it. He has no parents, doesn't he have any aunts or uncles?"

Xiao Changgan thought carefully and said: "Ye Chen has always been an orphan. I've never heard of him having any direct relatives. They should have all died out long ago!"

Wu Donghai sighed: "That's truly a pity!"

At this time, Ma Lan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "I know, I know! Ye Chen has a direct relative! This stinky woman tied up with me is Ye Chen's aunt! If you hate Ye Chen, just finish her off. Finishing her off is definitely more useful than finishing me off!"

Ye Zhangmin was so scared her heart almost stopped!

She cried out in despair in her heart: "When I left, Dad even gave me instructions. But don't let Ma Lan know I'm a member of the Ye family, for fear that Ma Lan would know I'm a Ye family member and make exorbitant demands... So, how on earth does this Ma Lan know I'm Ye Chen's aunt?!"
