After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 77: A Bunch of Fools, Pitiful and Ridiculous!
Su Xiyang was distracted the entire way. It was clear that the earlier indifference from Old Master Su and the other family elders had taken a significant toll on her. Along the way, she nearly collided with several pedestrians.
"For heaven’s sake, please be careful. I’m still young and have no desire to be buried along with you," Shen Fanyun said, rubbing his forehead as he helplessly reminded her.
Su Xiyang apologized profusely. "Sorry, sorry. I... I’m a little flustered. I’ll be careful!"
Shen Fanyun simply shook his head and didn’t say anything more.
About ten minutes later, Zhan Feng sent a set of photos. Judging by the exterior, they were taken at a warehouse in a remote suburb of Hangcheng City. The scene inside, however, piqued Shen Fanyun’s interest. Su Ziye was casually chatting with three to five stout, pot-bellied men. Although they were still photos, her relaxed demeanor was nothing like that of a kidnap victim. In fact, she looked quite cheerful.
Zhan Feng then sent the specific address. When compared with the one Su Ke had given to Su Xiyang, it was indeed the same place.
"This woman was supposedly kidnapped. Are you sure this is a recent photo?" Shen Fanyun typed, querying his personal subordinate, Zhan Feng.
Zhan Feng replied simply with, "???"
Shen Fanyun immediately understood. In all likelihood, this was a drama Su Ziye had orchestrated herself, with the ultimate goal of targeting Su Xiyang.
That damn woman is quite an actress, Shen Fanyun muttered to himself. Logically, they share the same blood. How can she be so ruthless?
"What are you talking about?" Su Xiyang asked, confused.
"Nothing." Shen Fanyun shook his head and said pointedly, "Focus on driving!"
I shouldn’t expose Su Ziye’s tricks just yet, Shen Fanyun thought. Otherwise, Su Xiyang will never see her cousin’s malicious side. Since she loves to act so much, I’ll let the show go on. I’ll make sure Su Xiyang sees Su Ziye’s true face once and for all!
「Hangcheng City, a certain warehouse.」
Su Ziye sat with her legs crossed, a cunning smile on her face as she waited for the big fish, Su Xiyang, to take the bait.
"Ziye, will your sister really come today?" a bald man asked impatiently, his tone skeptical.
On the table were four or five bottles of foreign liquor and several boxes of aphrodisiacs.
Su Ziye raised an eyebrow, speaking with absolute confidence. "Don’t worry. Given Grandpa’s personality, he will definitely force her to show up in person. After all, my life is supposedly at stake. Su Xiyang wouldn’t dare defy Grandpa’s orders. Otherwise, she’ll have no place in the Su Family. Since the show has already started, let’s see it through to the end."
Su Ziye glanced at the large bald man beside her, issuing orders as if he were an extension of her own will. "Li Bin, pour this into the liquor first. I reckon she’s already on her way."
Su Ziye grinned again. "Our sister’s beauty is famous in Hangcheng City. You guys are in for a real treat today. For a man, to be able to sleep with a peerless beauty like her in his lifetime would be so fulfilling that he would be content even if it meant walking the Road to the Underworld the very next second! To die at a beautiful woman’s whim is a romantic’s death!"
The man named Li Bin spoke to Su Ziye with utmost respect. "That’s all thanks to you, Ziye, for giving us such a golden opportunity! Hehe, I can hardly wait! I wouldn’t even dare to dream of touching a supreme beauty like Su Xiyang..." He sucked in a sharp breath. "Ziye, you’re the best!"
Su Ziye nodded and instructed, "Remember, don’t kill her. Otherwise, it won’t be any fun! She must live. She must be trapped by this nightmarish experience for the rest of her life, unable to escape. A life worse than death is the punishment she deserves!"
Li Bin watched as Ziye’s expression twisted from placid to savage and distorted. The saying "a woman’s heart is the most venomous" is no joke, he thought.
"Actually, I’m a bit troubled. She’s your sister, after all. Is it really necessary to be so cruel?" Li Bin asked, rubbing his hands together with an ambiguous smile.
"Hmph," Ziye snorted, scoffing with disdain. "Who told her to offend me? Especially these last few days. She’s completely forgotten her place, disrespecting me again and again. If I don’t teach her a lesson, she’ll never understand that for the rest of her life, when she faces me, Su Ziye, she can only ever bow her head!"
Suddenly, the roar of a car engine cut through the silence outside the warehouse.
Ziye’s eyes lit up. "She’s here!"
Li Bin and the others grew excited, exchanging glances as sly smiles crept across their faces. Although what they were doing was far from honorable, they had Su Ziye’s guarantee. She was the undisputed mastermind, so what did they have to fear?
"Quick, pretend to tie me up," Ziye reminded Li Bin. "Once I switch places with her and get out, you can start your game. Hehe, don’t forget to film it! It would be a crime to let such a titillating scene go unrecorded!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"Understood," Li Bin nodded, signaling a subordinate to loosely bind Su Ziye with a rope. By the time they were done, Su Xiyang had already appeared at the warehouse entrance.
Li Bin and the others quickly pulled on black hoods to hide their faces.
"Sister, Sister, please save me!" Su Ziye cried out, feigning tears the moment she saw Su Xiyang.
Su Xiyang looked toward the sound of her voice and said caringly, "Ziye, don’t be afraid. I’m here. Have they hurt you?"
Su Ziye shook her head. "No," she whimpered.
Li Bin let out a sinister chuckle. "Su Xiyang, you really keep your word. You actually dared to come alone."
"Let Ziye go," Su Xiyang demanded. She was already prepared to trade places with Su Ziye. As for what she would face afterward, she hadn’t considered it.
In the past, she would have been panicked and completely at a loss. But ever since meeting Shen Fanyun, she felt herself growing bolder and more grounded. She knew that even if the sky were to fall, Shen Fanyun would be there to support her!
"Since Miss Su is so righteous, well then... we’ll release Su Ziye first."
Li Bin waved his hand, and one of his men untied Su Ziye.
Feigning sobs, Su Ziye walked over to Su Xiyang and stuttered, "Sister, I’m leaving... but what about you?"
"It’s good if one of us can get away. Hurry up and go," Su Xiyang urged.
In Su Ziye’s eyes, this act, riddled with flaws, was perfect. She even fancied herself quite the actress!
"Sister, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. It’s my fault... I’ve caused you..." Feeling that was enough, Su Ziye staggered out of the warehouse entrance.
At that moment, Shen Fanyun was standing outside the warehouse, idly smoking a cigarette.
These amateur thugs really are something else. For one, they didn’t even post a lookout, so they have no idea if Su Xiyang really came alone. For another, if Su Ziye were truly kidnapped, what’s to stop her from calling the police the moment she’s free? After all, the address is already exposed. A bunch of idiots!
