Chapter 107 - 107 Secretly Holding Hands
107 Secretly Holding Hands
“What did you say?!” Qiu Yaohang jumped up from the sofa in shock, his voice cracking.
“It’s all over the Internet now. I’m at Shi Ran’s side. Hurry up and sign the document.” With that, Ji Wenfeng ended the call.
Qiu Yaohang and Wen Yu looked at each other.
In the next second, they reacted in unison and rushed outside.
… .
As soon as Chu Jinchen stepped into Shi Ran’s house, he saw a mess.
The curve of his lips was cold.
Behind him, San Yu was also a little surprised when he saw this.
Especially when he noticed that Shi Ran’s face was calm and did not look like she had just experienced murder. He really admired her from the bottom of his heart.
“Third Young Master, I’ll get someone to come up and clean up.”
“Yes,” Chu Jinchen replied casually.
He walked over to Shi Ran and sat down. “How’s it going?” he asked with a lazy smile.
“They’ve already been taken away. I just finished recording my statement, but it caused a lot of public discussion and Brother Ji is handling it.”
Shi Ran pointed in the direction of the balcony.
Ji Wenfeng was on the phone, one after another.
All about what had happened tonight.
“What about you?” Chu Jinchen asked.
“I’m fine,” Shi Ran said honestly.
“Okay,” Chu Jinchen only replied indifferently and did not speak again.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, except for the sound of Ji Wenfeng speaking on his phone on the balcony.
Shi Ran looked at Chu Jinchen suspiciously.
Tonight, he was exceptionally quiet.
But why?
At this moment, Ji Wenfeng finished his call and walked in.
He sat down on the sofa and rubbed his brow wearily.
“The social influence from what had happened is great. Videos of you almost getting killed are all over the Internet now.”
He sighed. “Fortunately, it doesn’t affect you in any negative way. In fact, your popularity has skyrocketed because of it.”
As a manager, he should be happy that his artist’s popularity has reached such a high level.
But now his heart felt incredibly heavy.
“Who were those people? Why did they want to kill you?” Ji Wenfeng looked at Shi Ran.
Shi Ran held a pillow in her arms and said casually, “There was a thief at home. He probably flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to ask someone to kill me.”
She spoke as if they were discussing the weather, her tone light and casual.
San Yu heard this as soon as he entered the room and stopped in his tracks.
‘Would a normal woman react like that after she was almost killed?’
‘Fine.’
The person who was almost killed in the video was not Miss Shi, but the other party.
He silently walked behind Chu Jinchen.
“Only because he flew into a rage out of humiliation?” Ji Wenfeng frowned, clearly not believing this.
“That’s right.” Shi Ran nodded seriously.
She knew that Ji Wenfeng liked Wen Yufei.
If she directly said that Wen Yufei’s father was behind tonight’s incident, it was very likely that Wen Yufei was also involved.
Ji Wenfeng’s world would probably collapse.
‘Oh well, let’s put it aside on the account of my manager having worked so hard.’
It was rare for her to be a good person again.
Chu Jinchen’s cold black eyes swept across Ji Wenfeng.
He understood Shi Ran’s fear of hurting Ji Wenfeng.
It could be considered Ji Wenfeng’s good luck.
If he was the one being asked, he would not care about Ji Wenfeng’s so-called mood.
Such lies were unnecessary to begin with.
If a man couldn’t even withstand such a blow, he should just scram and retire.
Ji Wenfeng still did not believe Shi Ran’s words. He turned to Chu Jinchen, “Third Young Master, have you found out who did it?”
Chu Jinchen raised his eyebrows and a nasty smile flashed across his eyes.
His thin lips parted. “Of course…”
She was about to tell Ji Wenfeng the truth when his arm felt warm.
At some point, Shi Ran had gotten closer to Chu Jinchen.
Using the pillow as cover, she quietly held Chu Jinchen’s wrist and scratched the bulging veins with her fingertips.
The hint was strong.
His heart, which had been dark and biting when he arrived, suddenly brightened a little.
His lips curved wickedly.
He tugged his hand and Shi Ran’s manicured and round nails brushed past his wrist before landing in his wide palm.
The next second.
Chu Jinchen closed his palm and wrapped it around Shi Ran’s delicate hand.
Shi Ran shuddered in her heart.
She looked at him immediately.
Chu Jinchen looked at Ji Wenfeng and smiled happily. “The truth is that the thief flew into a rage out of humiliation.”
Afraid of being discovered, Shi Ran could only struggle slightly.
However, Chu Jinchen tightened his grip.
Beneath the bolster, they held hands.
Her soft little hands were irresistible.
But he also knew better than to overdo it.
So he quickly let go after a while.
Shi Ran retracted his hand and glared at Chu Jinchen coldly, silently keeping a distance from him.
Chu Jinchen did not mind. Instead, he smiled even more happily.
However, when he saw Ji Wenfeng, he felt that Ji Wenfeng was a little annoying.
He then picked up another pillow from the sofa and hugged it like Shi Ran. He said casually, “Wen Yufei was kidnapped tonight.”
“What?!” Ji Wenfeng stood up from the sofa with a whoosh.
Shi Ran was also a little surprised.
Ignoring Ji Wenfeng’s emotions, he continued, “I heard that she was so frightened that she had a fever.”
Hearing this, Ji Wenfeng became even more anxious. He picked up his phone and wanted to make a call.
Chu Jinchen spoke again, “You can go to the Wen family to look for her.”
Ji Wenfeng subconsciously looked at Shi Ran.
He did want to go, but he also had a job to do.
“I’m here,” Chu Jinchen said.
He looked normal, but there were only two words in his mind.
—Get out!
Feeling worried, Ji Wenfeng could only say, “I’ll deal with the public opinion online but I’ll go and see Yufei first.”
With that, he left eagerly.
Chu Jinchen smiled.
The third wheel finally left.
He rested his head in his hand and leaned sideways to look at Shi Ran. He was about to speak when
there was another commotion at the door.
Then, Qiu Yaohang and Wen Yu appeared at the same time.
Chu Jinchen turned to the door with a devilish smile.
Two more came.
Qiu Yaohang and Wen Yu trembled in unison, feeling flustered.
“We heard about what Shi Ran went through earlier, so we came to take a look.” Qiu Yaohang laughed dryly as he silently moved in the direction of Shi Ran.
Wen Yu glanced at Chu Jinchen and rubbed his nose awkwardly.
His eyes flickered upon seeing Shi Ran.
The first time he saw Shi Ran was at the amusement park. At that time, he only saw her from afar.
At this moment, her figure was even thinner than he had imagined.
It was hard to imagine that such a delicate-looking girl is the ruthless woman in the video.
“Are you all right?” Qiu Yaohang asked with concern.
“I’m okay,” Shi Ran said.
“That’s true. It should be that group of people who aren’t ok,” Qiu Yaohang said.
They’d watched the video circulating on the Internet on the way here.
Shit!
He thought he was seeing things.
Previously, when Shi Ran fought the hooligans, he could still understand that as they were weak fighters.
But this time…
Those men were several times stronger than her and yet she actually defeated them with just a few moves!
He felt like his worldview was about to shatter!
“Oh, right!” Qiu Yaohang suddenly reacted. “Let me introduce you. This is Wen Yu, a friend of Jinchen and me.”
“Wen Yu?” Shi Ran raised her eyebrows.
‘Last name Wen?’
“Yufei’s cousin,” Qiu Yaohang explained.
“Hello, I want to ask who attacked you tonight?” Wen Yu didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
“What do you think?” Shi Ran asked.
“Is it… my uncle?” Wen Yu asked hesitantly.
