The handle of the short knife with long palm was firmly held by Ye Zhenting in the palm of his hand, and it lay across Ye Zhen's neck. The other hand held Ye Zhen tightly to his chest. He hid himself behind Ye Zhen, looking at the people in front of him. He said sharply, "So you are all in the same group!"
He was so emotionally agitated that he held Ye Zhen back.
The blade was tightly pressed against Ye Zhen's neck, and Ye Zhen didn't feel much fear from the icy cold touch, and could even negotiate with Ye Zhenting calmly.
"I told you, I don't know them!"
From what these loan sharks said, Ye Zhen vaguely guessed that these people may have some connection with Lu Beichuan, otherwise they would not have defected to help her deal with Ye Zhenting.
It's just that these people are too unreliable!
Ye Zhenting didn't listen to her explanation, and completely put himself into the victim, accusing bitterly, "Ye Zhen, no matter what, I'm your father, even if my father did something wrong before, I'm sorry for you, how could you set up a trap to treat my father like this?" !"
"I set up a trap? What kind of trap did I set up? Am I forcing you to gamble, force you to borrow usury, force you to kidnap me?" Ye Zhen said in a deep voice, "Calm down, put down the knife, they are not the same as me dude."
After speaking, Ye Zhen looked at the people in front of her again, and asked, "Who are you from?"
The man in front of him looked nervously at the knife that Ye Zhenting was holding in front of Ye Zhen, his eyes cracked, fearing that the knife would hurt Ye Zhen, he scolded Ye Zhenting countless times in his heart.
"Mrs. Lu, our boss and Mr. Lu are friends."
Ye Zhen understood completely at this moment, and she said to Ye Zhenting: "These days Beichuan has been rushing about your affairs, and finally found your usury creditor who wants to solve your usury matter for you, and now you still want to be kidnapped and blackmailed." Go to jail for a crime?"
At the mention of the three words of going to prison, Ye Zhenting's hand holding the dagger trembled.
"Really...really?"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask them if the usury matter has been settled."
The man in front of him nodded, "Ye Zhenting, our boss said that Mr. Lu has already taken care of the 40 million for you, put down the knife!"
Hearing these words, Ye Zhenting's hands trembled violently, his eyes faltered, and he hesitated for a while, unable to speak.
These days, he always thought that Ye Zhen and the Lu family would not give him any more money. Before that, he really wanted to use Ye Zhen to blackmail Lu Beichuan.
He has already made up his mind, with Lu Beichuan treating Ye Zhen in mind, Ye Zhen is with him, it is impossible for Lu Beichuan not to take money to redeem her, as long as Lu Beichuan gives him the money, and after he repays the usury, nothing will happen Don't be afraid anymore.
As for the crime of kidnapping and extortion... He and Ye Zhen are father and daughter, and Ye Zhen is doing well with him, neither being injured nor imprisoning her personal freedom, how can it be regarded as kidnapping? He asked his son-in-law for money, so how could it be considered extortion
Unexpectedly, Lu Beichuan actually found a usury creditor for his affairs, and wanted to help him solve this matter.
Feeling that the strength holding her was getting weaker, Ye Zhen's tense nerves relaxed, knowing that Ye Zhenting had listened.
Knowing that he had misunderstood, Ye Zhenting said with a sneer: "Zhen Zhen, it was my father who made a mistake. Don't be afraid."
As he said that, he loosened the hand that was holding Ye Zhen tightly. As soon as Ye Zhen left his confinement, she immediately stepped back a few steps, rubbed her neck, and accidentally found a little bit of blood stained on her fingertips.
The short knife was bought by Ye Zhenting for self-defense after he was pressed for debt by usury. It's very shallow, it doesn't hurt very much, and Ye Zhen didn't pay attention under the high tension.
Ye Zhenting saw the small wound on Ye Zhen's neck, and before he could put down the knife, he stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Did you accidentally hurt it! Sit down, Dad, and have a look!"
Ye Zhenting knew in his heart that Lu Beichuan took Ye Zhen very seriously. If he hurt Ye Zhen, Lu Beichuan didn't know whether he would pay him back the loan shark!
So when Lu Beichuan entered the door, he saw this scene.
Ye Zhenting approached Ye Zhen with a knife in his hand, there seemed to be mottled blood on the shiny blade, Ye Zhen covered her neck with her hands, stared at Ye Zhenting with her eyebrows fixed, her feet moved forward and backward, that was a posture of guard.
Seeing this scene, Lu Beichuan and several bodyguards he brought rushed forward. Lu Beichuan kicked the dagger in Ye Zhenting's hand cleanly, and Ye Zhenting, who was kicked over, was pressed to the ground by the bodyguards and couldn't move.
It took only two or three seconds before and after, not enough for people to react.
Lu Beichuan walked quickly to Ye Zhen, looked her up and down nervously, and asked with an uneasy tone, "Are you all right?"
Ye Zhen looked at Ye Zhenting who was pinned down on the ground, and when she heard Lu Beichuan's question, she raised her head and suddenly met Lu Beichuan's worried eyes.
The nervous pupils flickered uneasily, and he looked her up and down carefully, but still had lingering fear.
Ye Zhen let go of the hand covering her neck, and smiled at him in relief: "I'm fine."
There was a little mottled blood on the neck, and Lu Beichuan's eyes fell on it, feeling uncertain.
Seeing him staring at her neck, Ye Zhen knew what he had misunderstood, and raised her hand to wipe the small cut for him to see, with a relaxed look and even a smile, "It's really all right, you see."
After the blood was wiped off, there was indeed only such a small hole.
But this is not any other place, this is the neck, if you are not careful, it will not be just this small scratch.
Before Lu Beichuan had time to say anything, Ye Zhenting, who was pinned to the ground by the bodyguards on the other side, ignored the pain of his dislocated arm, and shouted loudly, "Beichuan! Beichuan! It's all a misunderstanding! You misunderstood! You quickly let them put I let go!"
Lu Beichuan didn't think there was any misunderstanding from what he saw with his own eyes. If he hadn't been a step late just now, Ye Zhenting might have succeeded!
"Misunderstanding? You pointed a knife at my wife, you said it was a misunderstanding?" Lu Beichuan looked very gloomy.
Ye Zhenting hissed again and again, stood up reluctantly under the restraint of a group of bodyguards, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his head, and said to Ye Zhen: "Zhen Zhen, explain to Dad, Dad just wanted to see you..." Ye Zhenting After a pause, I also knew that I was wrong, "Look at the injury on your neck!"
Lu Beichuan looked at the other debt collectors in the room.
One of the men got a phone call from the boss, and immediately separated the relationship, "Mr. Lu, don't get me wrong, we were deceived by Ye Zhenting. He said that Mrs. Lu was willing to pay back the 40 million for him, so our brothers followed him. Yes, how did we know that he was kidnapping and extorting, this... If we had known that it was kidnapping your wife and extorting you, we would definitely not have done it."
"What do you mean? What is kidnapping and extortion! Why did you call it kidnapping and extortion when I was talking to my daughter?" Ye Zhenting, who was on the side, was in a hurry, and turned pale and said to Lu Beichuan: "Beichuan, don't listen. They talk nonsense, what they loan sharks say is unbelievable! I am Zhenzhen's father, how could I kidnap her!"
Lu Beichuan's eyes were as sharp as knives, and he stabbed at Ye Zhenting like a sharp arrow. He subconsciously took a step towards Ye Zhenting.
Ye Zhenting subconsciously trembled, swallowed, but still argued loudly for himself: "Beichuan, you trust me, you really trust me, I can't do this to Zhen Zhen, I'm her father How could you do such a heartless thing to her!"
Ye Zhen sensed that something was wrong with Lu Beichuan, fearing that he would do something, she quickly pulled him back, and said in a low voice, "I'm not feeling well, let's go first."
Hearing Ye Zhen say that she was not feeling well, Lu Beichuan immediately came back to his senses, looked at Ye Zhen nervously, "Let's go to the hospital first."
He held Ye Zhen in one hand, gave the bodyguard a look, and then led them away.
Ye Zhenting's self-refusing voice could be heard behind him.
Got in the car and went straight to the hospital.
Lu Beichuan was worried about her injuries, so he asked the doctor to do a full-body examination. Soon, the examination results came out, and there was nothing serious. The little mark on her neck was also covered with a Band-Aid.
Only then did Lu Beichuan's tense nerves relax.
On the way home, Ye Zhen couldn't help asking him, "Ye Zhenting, what do you plan to do?"
The veins on Lu Beichuan's forehead were throbbing, he would not believe Ye Zhenting's words.
"Call the police!"
This is the easiest way to handle it.
With all the witnesses and material evidence, the matter of kidnapping and extortion is a certainty, he will never let Ye Zhenting go so easily.
"What do you think?" Lu Beichuan asked Ye Zhen's opinion.
Before today, Ye Zhen didn't think anything about the Ye family, just seeing what was out of sight.
But what happened today really broke through Ye Zhen's bottom line. For money, even her own daughter can be blackmailed and kidnapped. If she continues to keep it and ignore it, it will be a disaster, and she may do something in the future.
She looked out the car window and nodded, "Call the police."
Ye Zhen clutched the band-aid, she seemed calm just now, but only she knew how scared she was when the blade was attached to her neck, and the feeling that her life was in someone else's hands made her feel suffocated and insecure. She didn't want to experience this feeling again in her life.
Lu Beichuan looked at Ye Zhen who was looking out of the car window with a dazed expression, looked at her tightly clenched palms, leaned over, and pulled her closer with one hand.
Ye Zhen leaned in Lu Beichuan's arms, and Lu Beichuan kept stroking her back, comforting her, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, I won't let this kind of thing happen again in the future."
In such an intimate contact, Ye Zhen did not push him away. The hands that had been tightly clenched from the beginning quietly let go. After hesitating and hesitating, she slowly responded to Lu Beichuan's waist around her waist, clenching her molars tightly. Let go, pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid."
But the eye sockets were moist, slightly red, and trembling unconsciously.
No matter what time, this man will stand by her side, support her, protect her, and solve all the problems for her quietly.
Lu Beichuan hugged her tightly in his arms.
It was different from the feeling of being held in Ye Zhenting's arms. Lu Beichuan's chest was firm and warm, and his powerful heartbeat was beating in her ears, giving her indescribable peace of mind. With him around, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Suddenly remembered something, Ye Zhen looked up at Lu Beichuan, "Did you have any thoughts about Ye Zhenting just now?"
Lu Beichuan laughed softly: "I really want to kill him!"
