Chapter 13

Lin Chuanwu looked at Wen Yan’s frightened and humiliated expression, feeling even more parched, and picked him up.

Wen Yan clutched the alpha’s shoulder tightly…

“Boss?”

“Strange, isn’t he inside?”

The footsteps slowly faded away, and the people left.

Wen Yan’s back suddenly relaxed, “Please… let go…”

Lin Chuanwu eventually released him.

Lin Chuanwu buttoned up Wen Yan’s shirt and tied his tie, transforming back into the mature and steady Wen Gong of the workplace.

However, the flush on his cheeks and the corners of his eyes sparked some ambiguous thoughts.

“Do you want me to carry you out?” Lin Chuanwu asked, gentlemanly once more.

“No, no need.” Wen Yan shook his head awkwardly.

“Boss, where did you go? I went to the bathroom to find you just now, but you weren’t there.”

Wen Yan sat down, and Liu Ren leaned over to ask.

“On the balcony… smoking.”

Wen Yan’s voice was hoarse, afraid of being exposed, he tried to cover it up by picking up some food, but the movement caused a sharp pain.

The food he picked up fell.

Lin Chuanwu helped him pick it up again and placed it in his bowl.

“Looks like smoking just now was too tiring. What do you want to eat? I’ll help you pick it up.”

Lin Chuanwu appeared to be kind-hearted.

Wen Yan’s eyelashes trembled.

At one in the morning, a black luxury car drove out of the Eastern Suburb Villa.

Qiu Yi, hiding behind a tree, patted Qiu Tian, “Don’t sleep! Someone’s coming out.”

After saying that, he started the car and followed all the way to a remote mountain village under Beijing City.

Lin Wanfu’s car stopped in front of a low building.

After getting out of the car, he looked around, confirmed no one was there, and knocked on the door.

A man wearing a hat came out to open the door, judging by his height and build, it should be Liu Ning.

Qiu Yi called Lin Chuanwu.

In the dimly lit room, Lin Chuanwu sat on the sofa, he patted his leg, and Wen Yan trembled as he walked over.

“Sit properly,” Lin Chuanwu said.

… Just as he sat down, Lin Chuanwu pulled him forward.

Wen Yan’s shoulders began to tremble…

At this moment, the phone placed aside rang.

Wen Yan wanted to get down, but Lin Chuanwu pressed his waist, “Just sit like this.”

Lin Chuanwu answered the call.

“Where are you?”

“Okay, I got it.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chuanwu stared at Wen Yan.

Wen Yan understood his meaning and hugged his head…

His cheeks slowly turned red, but his eyes were clear…

He just heard Qiu Yi on the other end of the phone mention a ‘Ning’.

Did they find Liu Ning…

The next morning, as soon as Lin Chuanwu left, Wen Yan also opened his eyes.

Wen Yan usually had a cheap car for commuting, because he didn’t want Lin Chuanwu’s driver to pick him up and drop him off every day, Wen Yan drove the car here.

He watched as Lin Chuanwu’s Rolls-Royce drove out, and he followed in his car.

These days, he had actually been looking for Liu Ning, but since Wen Yan wasn’t familiar with him and didn’t know his life, finding him was almost as difficult as reaching the sky.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chuanwu was also looking for Liu Ning.

Liu Ning committed a crime and would definitely be sent to prison, but before that, Wen Yan needed to know some things from him.

“Mr. Lin, there’s a car following us, should we shake it off?” the driver asked.

“No need,” Lin Chuanwu’s finger brushed his lip corner, “let him follow.”

The tall buildings turned into dense forests, and the asphalt road became a steep gravel path.

Wen Yan followed the car in front, bumping all the way, arriving at a mountain village under Beijing City, surrounded by mountains and dense forests, a perfect place to hide.

Wen Yan couldn’t help but admire Lin Chuanwu, finding someone so quickly, no wonder the Lin family handed over the Lin Corporation to him. If they weren’t in that kind of relationship, Wen Yan would actually be willing to cooperate and make friends with him.

But unfortunately…

Just thinking about it brought a slight tingling electric current.

For a beta, it’s just a decorative thing, but being with a man day and night, it became strange…

Even wearing tight clothes would have obvious effects, Wen Yan’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Once he figured out the cause of Wen Shichuan’s death, he hoped to earn enough thirty million and divorce him early.

At this time, Lin Chuanwu’s car stopped under a thick old locust tree.

Qiu Yi and Qiu Tian got out of another car, they must have been guarding here all night.

Qiu Yi and Qiu Tian led Lin Chuanwu to a low house.

Wen Yan parked the car and got out as well.

This place had no internet, Liu Ning could only read the long web novels he had downloaded before, he was engrossed in reading “The Return of the Dragon King” when he suddenly heard the door.

Lin Wanfu said he would send him to the airport tomorrow, so it couldn’t be Lin Wanfu.

Liu Ning immediately jumped up from the sofa, alert, and hurriedly tried to escape through the back door.

The living room door was kicked open, and two figures were faster than him, pinning him to the ground.

Qiu Tian said viciously, “Don’t move, or I’ll break your arm.”

Liu Ning looked up and saw Lin Chuanwu looking down at him.

Lin Chuanwu was two years younger than him, but this person almost killed Lin Wanfu when he was a child, Lin Wanfu feared him, and Liu Ning feared him even more, his face turned pale immediately.

“Lin Chuanwu, I didn’t provoke you, why are you arresting me?!” Liu Ning gritted his teeth.

He transferred the assets of their family company, which had nothing to do with Lin Chuanwu, Liu Ning couldn’t understand why Lin Chuanwu would come to arrest him!

Lin Chuanwu’s expression was indifferent, “Take him away.”

Just then, there was an explosion outside.

Someone shouted, “Fire!”

Lin Chuanwu squinted dangerously, following the trap outside.

He saw his car window smashed by two kids with stones.

Qiu Yi hurried over to drive them away.

Seeing this, Liu Ning bit Qiu Tian’s arm hard, Qiu Tian let go in pain, and he immediately crawled to the window, it was the second floor, he jumped down without hesitation, fell hard, and ran madly up the mountain.

Just when he thought he had escaped, someone held a knife to his neck.

“Come with me.”

Lin Chuanwu returned, Qiu Tian covered the bite mark on his arm.

“Mr. Lin, Wen took the person away.”

Lin Chuanwu walked to the window, looking in the direction of the back mountain, his expression fierce, “Chase.”

The room faintly emitted a violent pheromone.

Wen Yan held a knife to Liu Ning’s neck, leading him to the mountainside, making sure Lin Chuanwu wouldn’t catch up for a while, he asked coldly, “Do you know Wen Shichuan?”

“Was it you at the party last time?! Who the hell are you?!”

Wen Yan used the knife tip to scratch his neck, “Stop talking nonsense.”

“Wait, wait, let me think.” Liu Ning was scared.

“Two years ago, when Haitianyihou was just built, Lin Wanfu invited many people to a banquet on the ship, at that time, they needed some electrical technicians, I helped Lin Wanfu recruit people, it seemed there was one named Wen Shichuan. I remember he was tall, his eyes, his eyes looked a lot like Lin Chuanwu’s, it scared me at the time, but he wasn’t as gloomy as Lin Chuanwu, he looked like a naive college student.”

Hearing this, Wen Yan confirmed it was indeed Wen Shichuan, his heart suddenly ached, “And then? Did he get off the ship?”

“I don’t know about that, I was drunk for two days, when I opened my eyes it was the third day, but… but, I heard from Lin Wanfu later, someone died on the ship, I don’t know if it was Wen Shichuan…”

“I’ve told you everything I know, now you should let me go, right?”

Wen Yan certainly didn’t plan to let him go, just as he was about to tie him to a tree, he heard footsteps, it should be Lin Chuanwu bringing people over.

Lin Chuanwu wasn’t a good-tempered person, he didn’t even have the normal courtesy and etiquette a person should have, he was reckless, shameless, last time when he found out, he almost…

If he found out this time that he took Liu Ning, Wen Yan had a chilling premonition, he definitely wouldn’t let him go easily, he hurriedly tied Liu Ning to a tree and hid up the mountain.

“Mr. Lin, he’s here!” Qiu Tian was the first to find Liu Ning.

Liu Ning was tied to the tree, his mouth stuffed with his own clothes, Lin Chuanwu pulled the clothes out, “Where is he?”

“Up the mountain, he went up the mountain.”

“Take him to the car, watch him.” After coldly giving this order, Lin Chuanwu’s face darkened as he headed up the mountain.

Better not let me catch you, or else… Lin Chuanwu bit his finger hard, the smell of blood filled his nostrils.

*

The leaves rustled underfoot, Wen Yan moved through the dense forest.

Footsteps followed, getting closer.

How did they catch up so quickly?

Wen Yan was shocked, he quickened his pace, but tripped over a stone, about to fall forward, a warm breath rushed into his nose, then his waist was grabbed, and he was held in someone’s arms, the two of them rolled down the slope together.

They stopped with a thud.

Wen Yan was the first to recover, he pushed Lin Chuanwu away and tried to escape, but he was held tightly in Lin Chuanwu’s arms, his head pressed firmly against his chest, Wen Yan couldn’t move, instead, Lin Chuanwu held him tighter.

After a dizzying moment, he was carried on Lin Chuanwu’s shoulder, brought to a cave by the water.

Inside the cave, after putting him down, Lin Chuanwu pinned his hands and pressed him against the stone wall.

Wen Yan’s face rubbed against the uneven stone wall, the cold, damp touch made him shiver slightly.

He feigned calmness, “What a coincidence, you’re hiking too.”

“Indeed, quite a coincidence.” Lin Chuanwu said sinisterly, “I was just thinking of trying it outdoors with you, and here you are.”

Wen Yan’s cheeks instantly heated up, “Let me go…”

“Why are you looking for Liu Ning?”

“Liu Ning, I don’t know him… I just came to hike.”

Lin Chuanwu sneered, suddenly pulling him.

It instantly became chilly.
