Chapter 741: Cunny Ren, Smart Ye Cheng

CHAPTER 741
“Wherever you are, they have begun their attack. You must protect Li Jing at all cost.”
Immediately Ye Cheng read out those words to the hearing of Ren as he quickly opened the message.
His eyes whipped up instantly to look at Ren. At the same time, Ren had his brain buzzing from the message that was read out.
Without wasting any more time, Ye Cheng rushed to check the other messages sent and began reading them out.
“Ren, I do not know where you are but you need to move. They are making their move.”
.....
“I cannot keep this up for long. It’s today.”
“Why can’t I reach you till now? I need you to be on a low key and ensure she doesn’t fall into their ploy.”
“Ren? Send a message or something if you get this!”
“She should be giving the go-ahead any moment from now. Get into position.”
“Wherever you are, they have begun their attack. You must protect Li Jing at all cost.”
By the time Ye Cheng finished reading the messages, he got an ample idea of the situation happening.
What Ren had stated earlier about him not being bad, was true.
People were after Li Jing and his boss got wind of it and was trying to help him out.
Although he did not know who the boss was or the relationship he had with his wife Li Jing.
He could least be bothered at this time.
He was going to handle all fear and questioning later. Now, her safety was the top priority.
What was more was the fact that the message told of the impending danger that could occur.
As much as he would hate to admit it, Chen’an was also right.
And how he succeeded in hurting two of them pricked at his heart so much.
Just the thought of it made him feel guilty and bad, not to speak of the time when she collapsed.
While his head worked with the new information he had at hand, Ye Cheng was shocked to see Ren lifting his tied hands in front of him.
“Untie me.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t you wish to save your wife?” Ren’s stern gaze peered deeply into his eyes in a questioning manner.
“I want to.” Ye Cheng shook his head. “No. I need to.”
“Good.” He shook his hands in front of Ye Cheng. “Cause I am your best shot at this.”
Even with listening to all he spoke, Ye Cheng was skeptical still.
After all, who knows, this may be a ploy to get him to set Ren free and he would be at his mercy.
“You’re still doubting?” Ren scoffed, peeling his gaze away.
Ye Cheng’s gaze held a hint of fury but yet he gave the benefit of the doubt and waited.
Ren looked away, rolling his eyes in disbelief before bringing his head back to face Ye Cheng. “Seriously?”
“Fine. I shall set you free. For now.”
“Good because I have more than enough scores to settle when this is all done but for now...” He intentionally trailed off, distracting Ye Cheng and equally setting him on alert.
Before Ye Cheng caught wind of the plans Ren had, and the sinister smile on his face, Ren pushed forward, grabbing onto his shirt as his head made a mark with Ye Cheng’s nose.
Crack!
Ye Cheng had not seen it in time and barely reacted, trying to avoid the head booting when Ren’s head aimed for his nose before his prey could get away.
He pulled back instantly, releasing Ye Cheng from his hold and taking some steps back.
He waited for the CEO of Dream Star Corporation to get over his initial shock, blinking the blurriness from his eyes while Ren let out a bittersweet laugh.
“I told you I would make you pay,” Ren’s husky voice echoed in the room.
At the same time, he heard a low growl from the man that had waited at the side.
For some reason, he had been too bothered with Ye Cheng to realize that they had company and acted rashly.
Not that it mattered to him so much, no. He could least be bothered at this point if Ye Cheng retaliated or not.
Just being able to land one on him was more satisfying than anything he could get.
But one thing struck him as odd and that was the fact that the young guy stopped halfway in his steps.
He trailed his gaze from the guy, following the line of his sight only to land on Ye Cheng’s outstretched hand by his side, stopping the guy from acting.
“Hmm, what are you doing? Acting tough and pure?” Ren’s approving voice broke the silence, earning him a glare and grunt in return.
“Did you not think of this when you electrocuted Chenny, huh?” Ren spat out bitterly.
“Tsk. I knew you were up to no good but for Chenny’s sake I would let it slide.”
He heaved in a deep breath and smiled at wickedly at him. Letting the dark glint in those eyes twinkle properly.
“However, pull one more crazy stunt again and I would deal with you personally even Chen’an would fail to recognize you.”
“Tsk. Like I could care less. Because of your wife, I would let you go for all you did.”
“Hahaha...”
A burst of soft and wicked laughter fell off Ye Cheng’s lips as he cracked his nose back in place and faced Ren.
“I do not have time for your jokes so I would get this over with quickly.”
He closed the gap between them swiftly and yanked Ren’s tied hands.
Reaching into his pocket. He got out a small pocket knife and began cutting at the ropes.
“You trust easily,” Ren noted out loud while plotting different means of probable escape in his mind.
“I do not but for Li Jing, I have to. I know you are thinking of ways to get this knife and use me as bait to leave here with Chenny, right?”
Ren did not answer and let a small smile form on his lips instead.
After some seconds, he decided to. “I am honestly, but I know better.”
“Do you?”
“Yes. My mission is not to love but help you ensure your wife is safe.”
“Good you still make use of your brains. I would have wondered what kind of spy or stalker was asked to care for my wife.”
Sensing the slow taunt scheme Ye Cheng was pulling while trying his best to act calm and not look unfazed, Ren decided to play at his game as well.
“Love or no love. You won’t be killing her so I have nothing to lose but more to gain.”
Ye Cheng arched a brow suspiciously at him, stopping what he was doing as he waited for his explanation.
Understanding the reason for the glare, he decided to explain.
“An apology.”
Ye Cheng scoffed loudly at him then turned the tables around. “You owe me one and my wife when she sees this.”
Ren looked at his face and centred his gaze on his injured nose.
In truth, as much as it ruined his perfect appearance, Ye Cheng wished more than anything to leave it for his wife to see.
While he could use it to act spoilt, he planned on using it to brag that even at such a time, he did not give in to his feelings to punch Ren till death.
Also, there was the fact that with where they were going, it would be him setting Ren’s death trap.
“Good. Now, let’s go. I have had them take your things for analysis to Fong Wei Ling’s residence.
Ren’s eyes flew wide open upon realizing the words Ye Cheng spilt out so casually.
“You what?!”
“I did the best thing, don’t act shocked. what were your expecting?”
.....
Ren blinked ceaselessly, trying his best to act calm but if there was one person he feared in his job it was the Fong family and now Ye Cheng did what?
“If there were dangerous devices, Fong would find them. If it was secret assignments and who your link is, it would be quite easy too,” he explained.
“Tell me about it,” Ren sarcastically commented.
“Now, shall we? I am expecting feedback from him soon. And I suppose he had gotten the message of Li Jing’s kidnapping by now.”
“Hmm, I see. It was a waste for the boss to be bothered then. She had you covering her.”
“Yeah, and they never would have had her had she listened. Anyways, I know my wife ain’t a caged dog. However, those who want to put her on a leash would be the tortured guinea pig. I promise.”
As he stepped to the side and took his walk, he exuded a deadly aura, placing one hand on his pocket.
For a moment there, Ren thought he was looking at a mafia Lord rather than a normal CEO.
He feared the Fong Family but upon second thinking he knew leaving Ye Cheng out of the equation would be wrong.
He was equally scary.
Ye Cheng threw the knife at the man at the side and walked away, leaving Ren to follow behind.
Although he had his back open, he was not scared.
And he could tell because the rage that breathed in those uncanny brown eyes of his was birthed out of the deep love he had for his wife.
Fixing himself, he reached for the bottled water at the side close to the untouched food, uncorked it and followed after Ye Cheng.
