Chapter 1217 Pull the Trigger
He bent down and kissed Jiang Mubai gently on the lips.
"Good night, my baby."
……
The next morning, when Jiang Mubai woke up, she found Cheng Yunchuan sitting beside the bed looking at her.
"Are you awake? How do you feel?" Cheng Yunchuan smiled gently.
"Much better since last night~." Jiang Mubai stretched and sat up.
"Don't think about it, it's all in the past. Let's be together now." Cheng Yunchuan interrupted her.
He brought the breakfast to Jiang Mubai: "Eat something first."
Jiang Mubai nodded and started to eat breakfast.
"By the way, how is Qin Yuanqing?" Jiang Mubai suddenly thought of Qin Yuanqing and asked.
"He has been arrested by the police." Cheng Yunchuan said lightly.
"The crimes he committed are enough to keep him in prison for life."
Jiang Mubai didn't feel happy at all when he heard this, but rather a complicated feeling.
After all, Qin Yuanqing was once an important part of her life.
"Yunchuan."
"Ok?"
"Tell me, am I too cruel?"
Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.
"Mu Bai, you're not wrong, you're just protecting yourself." He said softly.
"But……"
"No buts." Cheng Yunchuan interrupted her.
"You don't need to feel guilty about anyone."
He held Jiang Mubai in his arms and patted her back gently.
"Forget the past and start over."
Jiang Mubai leaned in Cheng Yunchuan's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and his heart gradually calmed down.
Perhaps Cheng Yunchuan was right, she should forget everything in the past and start over.
Just then, Cheng Yunchuan's cell phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and his expression changed slightly.
"I'll take a call first."
He stood up, walked to the window and answered the phone.
"Hey?"
"Yunchuan, it's bad! Something happened!" An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Your mother...she...she was kidnapped!"
Cheng Yunchuan's face turned pale instantly, his body trembled slightly, and the phone in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"What did you say?!"
"What did you say?!" Cheng Yunchuan's voice suddenly rose, like a taut string that could break at any time.
He gripped the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, like a dormant beast suddenly showing its fangs.
The voice on the other end of the phone was crying, repeating intermittently: "Madam...Madam has been kidnapped, they...they want..."
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath, trying to suppress his inner frenzy, and asked in a cold voice: "Who is the other party? What conditions did he put forward?"
"Not sure, they...they just said you have to go alone."
"Address." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.
After getting the address, Cheng Yunchuan hung up the phone abruptly and turned to look at Jiang Mubai.
At this moment, Jiang Mubai had already been awakened by this sudden change. She looked at Cheng Yunchuan worriedly, her eyes full of anxiety.
"Yunchuan, what's wrong? What happened?"
Cheng Yunchuan walked to the bedside and gently held Jiang Mubai's hand, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including pain, worry, and determination.
"Mu Bai, my mother...she was kidnapped."
Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly. She could feel the trembling in Cheng Yunchuan's hands, as well as the fear and helplessness deep in his heart.
"What? How could this happen?"
"The other party specifically asked me to go, so I must go." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor.
"I'll go with you!" Jiang Mubai said without hesitation.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai's determined eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart, but he still shook his head.
"No, it's too dangerous. I can't let you take the risk."
"I'm with you!"
Cheng Yunchuan interrupted her: "No, you stay here and wait for me to come back."
He leaned over, kissed Jiang Mubai gently on the forehead, then turned and left without any hesitation.
Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan's resolute back, her heart filled with worry and uneasiness. She bit her lips tightly, trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes.
She knew that Cheng Yunchuan must be under tremendous pressure at the moment. All she could do was pray silently for his safe return.
……
Cheng Yunchuan drove to the abandoned factory designated by the kidnappers. The factory gate was closed and the surroundings were silent, like a dormant monster waiting for its prey to come to its door.
He took a deep breath, opened the car door and walked out.
"I'm here, let my mother go." Cheng Yunchuan's voice echoed in the empty factory, with a hint of coldness and determination.
After a moment, the factory gate slowly opened and a burly man walked out with a ferocious smile on his face and a gun in his hand, pointing at Cheng Yunchuan.
"Mr. Cheng, you are punctual as expected."
Cheng Yunchuan looked at him coldly without saying anything.
“If you know what’s best for you, just listen to me, otherwise…” The man pointed a gun at Cheng Yunchuan’s head, his eyes full of threats.
"Where is my mother?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was so cold that there was no warmth at all.
The man sneered and turned to walk into the factory.
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and followed.
The factory was dark and the air was filled with a pungent, musty smell that made people feel nauseous.
The man took Cheng Yunchuan to a room deep in the factory. There was only a tattered chair and a woman tied to the chair in the room.
The woman had messy hair, scars on her face, and lifeless eyes. She was Cheng Yunchuan's mother.
Seeing his mother's miserable condition, Cheng Yunchuan's heart sank suddenly, and a rage surged from the depths of his heart, as if to devour him whole.
"Mom!" Cheng Yunchuan rushed forward and tried to untie the rope on his mother.
The man pointed a gun at Cheng Yunchuan's head and shouted, "Don't move! If you dare to move, I will kill her!"
Cheng Yunchuan stopped what he was doing, turned around slowly, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
The man sneered: "It's simple, I want you to die!"
After that, he pulled the trigger...
……
At the same time, Jiang Mubai could no longer bear the inner torment, so she decided to find Cheng Yunchuan.
She drove to the abandoned factory, only to find that the factory gate was closed and there was silence all around, as if nothing had happened.
She had a bad feeling in her heart, so she quickly got out of the car, ran to the factory gate, and knocked on the door hard.
"Yunchuan! Yunchuan! Are you in there?"
However, all she got in response was an empty echo.
Jiang Mubai became more and more panicked. She took out her cell phone and called Cheng Yunchuan, but no one answered.
Just then, she suddenly heard a gunshot from inside the factory...
