Chapter 184: Cheng Huade Kidnaps Three Women

Madam Chu no longer obstructs the affairs between Chu Li and Cheng Wan.

She has also sincerely accepted Cheng Wan, which is why she is thinking about letting Cheng Wan become a qualified Mrs. Chu.

After all, once the Old Master passes away and Chu Li takes full control of the entire Cheng Family, Cheng Wan, as the wife of the head of the family, will become the new Madam Chu.

At that time, social engagements and networking will be unavoidable.

If she doesn't buckle down and cultivate her now, she is afraid it will become a laughingstock later.

"How much money can that studio of hers possibly earn?" Madam Chu said with dissatisfaction.

Chu Li rubbed his temples, "I have my own plans regarding her affairs; please don't interfere."

Madam Chu felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she did not say anything more.

While Chu Li was hospitalized, Cheng Wan showed up once a day like clockwork and then left; she never asked a single question about Chu Li's treatment or recovery.

The production line was starting to run, and most of the time, she was at the studio.

Two more weeks passed, and when Cheng Wan came out of the studio, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening; the autumn wind had grown colder.

She pulled her coat tight around herself and walked to her car.

Just as she closed the car door, something cold pressed against the side of her neck.

"Miss Cheng, come with us."

Cheng Wan's fingers suddenly tightened on the steering wheel, "Who are you?"

The man's voice was very deep, and he coldly recited an address.

Cheng Wan's mind raced, searching for a way out.

A sharp pain suddenly came from the side of her neck as the man threateningly pushed the blade forward.

Cheng Wan had no choice but to start the car and drive off.

An hour later, the car stopped in front of an abandoned villa.

"Get out," the man commanded.

Cheng Wan thought about the man being behind her and planned to bolt the moment she stepped out, but just as she moved, several men in black appeared all around.

Subsequently, she was dragged and locked inside a pitch-black room.

From beginning to end, no one spoke, and certainly no one said why she had been brought here.

Cheng Wan's heart was in her throat, not knowing if they intended to rob her or kill her.

It wasn't until she shifted slightly that a faint voice came from a corner not far away, "Who is it?"

Cheng Wan paused for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Qingya?"

"Wanwan?" Lin Qingya was also startled, "Why are you here?"

The two of them groped their way toward the sound and hugged each other.

Cheng Wan asked her what was going on.

Lin Qingya said, "I don't know. I was drugged and brought here; I only just woke up."

"How could they have kidnapped you too?"

Lin Qingya had always suspected that her kidnapping was the handiwork of Qin Yunshu; after all, ever since Qin Yunshu learned that she had returned to the Cheng Family, she had always held hostility toward her, and it was said that she had been arguing with Cheng Han constantly.

But now that Cheng Wan had been kidnapped, it wasn't Qin Yunshu.

Cheng Wan gripped Lin Qingya's hand, feeling uneasy, "What do these people want to do?"

It is unknown how much time passed before that door was opened again.

A woman was shoved inside; she screamed and tried to rush out, but was shoved to the ground by someone, and the door was closed again.

Cheng Wan and Lin Qingya saw clearly that the person pushed inside was Qin Yunshu.

Qin Yunshu did not realize there were two other people there and kept pounding on the door, demanding that the other side let her out.

She even boasted about her relationship with Cheng Han and Chu Li, attempting to negotiate with them.

But no one outside paid her any mind.

Lin Qingya felt annoyed by the noise and shouted, "Can you be quiet?"

Qin Yunshu paused, asking uncertainly, "Lin Qingya?"

Lin Qingya rolled her eyes in the darkness, "Can you stop howling?"

Qin Yunshu sobbed softly, "Why are you here?"

Perhaps the dark environment easily bred fear, as Qin Yunshu's hatred for Lin Qingya was not as intense as before.

"Who are they? What do they want?"

Lin Qingya did not speak; she did not want to engage with Qin Yunshu.

Cheng Wan said calmly, "Everyone stop talking, conserve your strength."

"Cheng Wan, you too..." Qin Yunshu felt hopeless.

It is unknown how much more time passed before the door outside was opened again.

This time, the three of them were blindfolded and dragged out.

After stumbling along for more than half an hour, the sound of rushing water reached their ears.

Following that, light returned to their eyes.

Cheng Wan quickly scanned the area and discovered that, sure enough, there was a river not far away.

The river channel was wide, and the current was very swift.

Lin Qingya and Qin Yunshu were standing side by side, at least fifty meters away from her.

Cheng Wan had been separated from them.

Cheng Huade had a sinister expression, constantly watching the river surface as if waiting for something.

The roar of a cargo ship came from the river.

Cheng Huade let out a sigh of relief.

But before he could fully relax, Cheng Han's voice came from behind him.

"Cheng Huade, let them go."

Cheng Han had brought people to surround this place.

Cheng Huade narrowed his eyes and began to laugh, saying sinisterly, "I really have raised a good nephew. I've spent three years cultivating you, yet you've teamed up with outsiders to deal with me. Cheng Han, you are truly heartless and ungrateful."

Cheng Han's expression was grim, "The car accident that happened to my parents back then was your doing, wasn't it? What right does a murderer who destroyed my family have to talk about cultivation?"

Cheng Huade narrowed his eyes, "So, you knew all along."

He felt not a shred of guilt for what he had done back then; after all, this world was one where the weak were prey to the strong, and if anyone was to blame, it was his older brother and his wife for having short lives.

Just like being cornered here by Cheng Han now, he only felt it was his own bad luck.

For the past three years, Cheng Han had pretended to be dissolute and unrestrained, but he had been biding his time, having planned for today long ago.

He regretted not having cut the weeds and pulled up the roots back then.

"Cheng Han, my good nephew, these two women are both loved by you." Cheng Huade stepped back, standing beside Qin Yunshu, his eyes full of vicious calculation, "Let me leave, and I will leave one for you."

Lin Qingya's face was pale, and she just watched Cheng Han quietly.

Qin Yunshu, however, screamed in terror, "Cheng Han, save me."

Cheng Han gritted his teeth, "Cheng Huade, you are shameless."

Cheng Huade laughed out loud, "Cheng Han, you don't really think I didn't make any preparations, do you?"

He pushed Qin Yunshu and Lin Qingya forward, "Choose one you like to stay; I will take the other one away until I have left this place."

He understood Cheng Han too well; he would inevitably choose Lin Qingya, as she was the one he had truly loved all along.

Moreover, he was looking forward to Cheng Han choosing Lin Qingya.

Cheng Wan was hidden behind a tree, her mouth taped shut, her throat being gripped by someone, making it impossible for her to make a sound.

Her heart was filled with anxiety, hoping that Cheng Han would choose Lin Qingya.

But after a few seconds of silence, Cheng Han chose Qin Yunshu.

"I choose Yun Shu." He gritted his teeth as he spoke his answer, not daring to look at Lin Qingya's expression.

Lin Qingya gave a miserable smile, but she also let out a sigh of relief.

It is for the best, it is for the best.

It was just that her heart still ached terribly.

She lowered her eyes and did not look at Cheng Han again.

Qin Yunshu wept with joy, "I knew it, I knew that the person you love most is me."

The smile on Cheng Huade's face vanished; Cheng Han's choice was not what he had expected.

This meant that his subsequent plans could not be implemented.

His expression turned gloomy.

"Bring her out."

Cheng Wan was pushed forward and forced to stand beside Lin Qingya.

At the same time, the sound of chaotic footsteps approached.

Chu Li appeared not far away.

Seeing Chu Li, Cheng Wan's legs suddenly went weak, and for no reason, she felt safe.
