She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 436 The Daughter is Kidnapped

"Are you just causing a scene now? Confusing every issue." Shen Heyu supported the frail Pei Yansi, her gaze fixed determinately on Lu Yi.

She saw a flicker of hurt in Lu Yi’s eyes and couldn’t bear it; she couldn’t keep looking and quickly turned her head away.

"No matter what, I need to take good care of Pei Yansi right now. The patient needs to rest, so don’t disturb him." Shen Heyu assisted Pei Yansi back to the hospital room.

She helped Pei Yansi lie down on the hospital bed and gently covered him with a blanket, then poured him a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table.

"He’s still standing at the door, not leaving." Pei Yansi glanced at the man who stood at the door rigid as a post.

"You rest well, I’ll go and make things clear to him." Shen Heyu turned to leave, but Pei Yansi lifted a hand and caught her wrist.

"Don’t go," Pei Yansi worried that if Shen Heyu left this time, she might not return.

Shen Heyu looked down at Pei Yansi grasping her hand, showing a smile meant to reassure him.

"Don’t worry, you were hurt because of me; I definitely won’t abandon you. I will take full responsibility." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Shen Heyu pried Pei Yansi’s fingers from her wrist and walked towards Lu Yi.

There were some things Pei Yansi shouldn’t hear, so Shen Heyu closed the room door.

"Come with me." Shen Heyu glanced at the dispirited Lu Yi and beckoned him into the lounge.

Lu Yi followed her listlessly into the room, "What exactly happened? How could he have been hurt so badly all of a sudden?"

"That’s a long story. I was kidnapped, and Pei Yansi was stabbed in the abdomen while trying to buy time," Shen Heyu sighed deeply.

It had all happened just yesterday evening, but it felt like a century had passed.

"Who’s behind all this?" Lu Yi asked urgently.

"The matter is under investigation. Pei Yansi’s assistant, Zhao Jin, has already gone to look into it; I believe we will hear news soon." Now, all Shen Heyu could do was wait.

"Guess who also told me you were in the hospital?"

"The Chen family?"

"That’s right, it was them. They said you two were in trouble and that Pei Yansi had suffered serious injuries, his life hanging by a thread, while you, out of gratitude for Pei Yansi’s past kindness, have been by his side without leaving."

"What else did they say?" Intuition told Shen Heyu that this was not as simple as it seemed; she stood up.

Lu Yi slowly clenched his fists, the next words seeming difficult to say.

"They told me that if I just let things be, your old feelings for each other might reignite, and by then, it could be the end of the road for you and me."

Lu Yi lowered his head, avoiding Shen Heyu’s eyes, worried she might think he came to the hospital to cause trouble because he had heard some malicious gossip.

"Actually, the Chen family had visited before you did, aiming to split me and Pei Yansi apart. They even went as far as to threaten me," Shen Heyu said calmly, even able to recall the events of just forty minutes before.

"They didn’t hurt you, did they?" Lu Yi asked anxiously, lifting his hands to grasp Shen Heyu’s shoulders, examining her from head to toe.

Shen Heyu pushed away the hand that was resting on her shoulder, "Don’t worry, they haven’t made a move on me yet."

"But just now, during Pei Yansi’s confrontation with them, I heard a shocking secret."

"What?"

Shen Heyu didn’t answer immediately but looked at Lu Yi, trying to determine if the person standing before her was trustworthy.

She quickly chose to trust Lu Yi and spoke the truth, "The car accident wasn’t so simple. From their conversation, it seems more like the Chen family orchestrated the whole thing as a ploy to frame Pei Yansi and use the accident to threaten him and Chen Lingmeng."

"The car accident was their own design? To marry Pei Yansi, did Chen Lingmeng really sacrifice so much? To the point that she would end up with a permanent disability and never be able to stand again?" Lu Yi inhaled sharply.

Actually, Shen Heyu was also especially shocked when she heard it. Such a sacrifice was too great, something most people could never bring themselves to do.

"But I believe Pei Yansi when he says he has concrete evidence to prove it. And from the reactions of the Chen family at the time, it seemed like this was the true story of what happened." Shen Heyu believed Pei Yansi, even without him presenting any solid evidence to convince her yet.

Lu Yi’s temples throbbed wildly as he thought more and more that something was amiss.

"The Chen family will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, even going so far as to harm themselves. Now that you stand in their way, who knows what kind of tactics they might come up with to deal with you." Lu Yi’s concern was now for Shen Heyu’s safety.

In fact, Shen Heyu had thought of this as well. The expressions on the Chen family’s faces as they left suggested that this matter was far from over.

"No, I must take you away now and protect you properly. I absolutely cannot let you suffer even the slightest harm." Lu Yi was frantic to grasp Shen Heyu’s hand, but she avoided it.

"Calm down first," Shen Heyu cautioned Lu Yi not to panic.

Just then, the vibration of a phone interrupted their conversation.

Shen Heyu took out her phone and her gaze turned meaningful as she looked at Lu Yi, "It’s a call from Chen Wenzhou."

"Don’t answer it, whatever they want from you, it can’t be anything good."

"If they’ve set their minds on dealing with us, hiding is not an option; it’s better to face them head-on and see what they’re really up to."

Shen Heyu answered the call and turned on the speakerphone.

Lu Yi instinctively held his breath; he was eager to hear what kind of scheme the other party had thought up this time.

But what Shen Heyu and Lu Yi had never expected was that at the moment the phone connected, a cry from Yuexue came through from the other side.

"Yuexue!" Shen Heyu’s face changed. She shouted Yuexue’s name, but Yuexue’s voice quickly disappeared.

From the other end of the phone, Chen Wenzhou’s cold, indifferent voice came through, "Take her away, she’s giving me a headache."

"What have you done to Yuexue?" Shen Heyu cautiously spoke to the other party, while Lu Yi had already taken out his phone to call the person taking care of Yuexue to ask about the situation.

Chen Wenzhou chuckled, "What could I do to her? She’s such a cute little girl, I couldn’t bring myself to harm her, not to mention she is Pei Yansi’s daughter. If we truly harmed her, Pei Yansi would hate us for life, and the matter would become extremely troublesome."

After confirming the news on his end, Lu Yi tightened his grip on his phone, walking over to Shen Heyu with a pale expression, and shook his head.

It meant that Yuexue had indeed disappeared.

Shen Heyu’s heart leaped to her throat, "What exactly do you want to do?"
