The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 737 - 204: This man is actually threatening her?

The two men, upon hearing their boss’s order to release Yu Xia, still hesitated. They exchanged a look but made no move, one of them turned to the man and said, "Boss, this woman is highly skilled. What if she hurts you later on?"

They all remembered that when they first entered, this woman attacked their boss, worsening his injuries. Otherwise, they hadn’t planned to tie her up; it was only out of fear she might harm their boss again that they, reluctantly and outnumbering her, subdued and bound her.

The man’s face was somewhat pale. Speaking for so long had clearly exhausted much of his strength, but he still maintained a faint smile on his face, his gaze lightly settling on Yu Xia’s face. He then smiled slightly and said, "Don’t worry, Miss Yu isn’t rash. Though the Yu Family has power and standing in Capital City, they can’t cover the sky with one hand. I believe Miss Yu won’t do anything to me, considering the Yu Family’s safety and well-being."

Yu Xia, "..." Her first reaction was, damn it, is this man actually threatening her?

But after listening carefully to his words, she felt something was off. It dawned on her belatedly that she never revealed her identity, yet without any introductions, this man knew she was the young miss of Capital City’s Yu Family. Most importantly, from the moment Song Qiao entered, this man had confirmed that Song Qiao was Lu Jingchen’s wife... These clear perceptions told her that either this man had an intimate understanding of their Yu Family and Lu Jingchen, looking down on them, or he wouldn’t have barged in here like a kidnapper.

Ning Wan did not believe that Lu Jingchen lacked bodyguards secretly protecting him in the vicinity.

Years ago, when Lu Jingchen lived alone in an outside villa, enemies came in the dead of night aiming to kill him. It was lucky that he had left for a social engagement just before they arrived; surveillance cameras had captured several underworld figures entering his villa. Had he been home that night, he likely wouldn’t have stood a chance.

It was from that time onward that Lu Jingchen had bodyguards for protection, not by his own request, but arranged by the elder Mr. Lu, who had the Lu Family’s personally trained bodyguards guard Lu Jingchen in secret.

At this moment, Yu Xia heightened her vigilance, convinced that this man was no ordinary individual. Though she had never met him, he gave her the impression that his status was on par with Lu Jingchen’s.

Hearing the man’s words, those two men eventually stepped forward and helped untie Yu Xia.

Once freed, Yu Xia moved her limbs around. Maintaining that position for so long was practically killing her; now being able to move again made her feel much better.

The young man’s gaze fell directly onto Yu Xia’s face. The weather outside was very dark, as if the entire gloomy sky was pressing down, shrouding the whole city, and a heavy downpour had already started, with thunder and rain sounding continuously inside the study. Occasional thunderclaps faintly lit up the study, creating momentary glimpses.

"Go turn on the room’s lights." The man’s voice, seemingly weakened from injury and exertion, sounded as if he could collapse at any moment.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the person originally standing by the door instantly turned on the light inside the study. Suddenly the chandelier above and the wall lights were all lit up, filling the room with brightness that made those unaccustomed to the light squint instinctively.

Yu Xia squinted slightly; almost reflexively she raised her hand to shield her eyes, only lowering it once she had adjusted.

However, her first instinct was to look at the man on the sofa, and upon clearly seeing his appearance, her eyes widened in disbelief and astonishment.

...

Song Qiao, accompanied by Jack, stepped out of the study and immediately saw men dressed in black, holding guns, who had appeared in the corridor at some unknown time, standing at intervals. Each one had blond hair and blue eyes, causing her eyebrows to twitch slightly and giving her the feeling that her villa had been occupied by these people.

"What have you done with the other people in my villa?" Walking a few steps to the staircase, Song Qiao looked directly at the living room. She couldn’t see any of the villa’s other servants, nor could she find Chen Ma, who was initially outside with her.

Not only were there black-clad men in the second-floor corridor, but the living room was also filled with several others. This made her clearly realize that these people had come prepared, and there were quite a few of them.

She didn’t know when these people had entered her villa and taken over her home, nor whether Chen Ma had managed to inform Lu Jingchen.

In fact, she was internally conflicted. She hoped that Chen Ma had informed Lu Jingchen so he could come and save them, yet at the same time, she didn’t want to consider the idea because it was obvious these people were up to no good. They might even hold a grudge against Lu Jingchen, and if he really did come back, it would be like throwing himself into the lion’s den.

Jack’s thin lips were slightly pursed, his complexion didn’t look very good, but upon hearing Song Qiao’s question, he managed a smile and then spoke, "Mrs. Lu, rest assured, we will not harm the servants in your villa. We’re just keeping them in a quiet place. Naturally, they will be released once we leave."

Song Qiao clenched her fists, she didn’t trust these complete strangers, yet now she had no other choice.

"Mrs. Lu, could you please take me to get the medical kit quickly?" Jack’s tone was still okay, not as harsh and actually quite gentle to the ears. It was evident he knew he needed Song Qiao’s help at this moment, and thus softened his tone a bit, "Our boss was injured while saving me."

Song Qiao remained silent, indifferent to all this. She wasn’t a saintly character, but she did possess some kindness and goodwill. The only reason she told these people about the medical kit in the house was a momentary impulse, which she regretted immediately after.

Jack seemed not to notice the odd expression on Song Qiao’s face and continued, "Mrs. Lu, I don’t want him to be in trouble. In fact, he holds no animosity towards you, we’re just inconveniencing you temporarily. You can rest assured, we won’t do anything to you, but we do need Mrs. Lu’s cooperation. Don’t think about leaving now. This place is full of our people. Unless our boss tells you can leave, you won’t be able to."

Song Qiao responded indifferently with a hum, yet she said, "I’m not helping you, I just don’t want anyone to die in my home."

This reason was simple and direct, clearly dismissing any thoughts they had about her being kind-hearted.

Jack didn’t say anything, just offered a faint smile as a gesture of gratitude towards Song Qiao.

After a few steps and reaching the living room, Song Qiao inadvertently pulled her wound on the back while descending the last step of the stairs, causing her to wince in pain and frown slightly.

Perhaps noticing Song Qiao’s distress, due to his sharper than average hearing, Jack immediately turned to look at Song Qiao and looked her up and down with some concern, asking, "Mrs. Lu, what’s wrong?"

Song Qiao gritted her teeth; the large burn on her back was so painful that it made her want to die, but even with cold sweat breaking out, she shook her head and said faintly, "It’s nothing."

Jack didn’t say anything for a moment, trailing a few steps behind Song Qiao. Only after a few steps did he speak with certainty, "Mrs. Lu, is your back injured?"

Song Qiao had not expected Jack to notice, remained silent for a while, but didn’t hide it and nodded.

Actually, Song Qiao started to feel that the Jack in front of her wasn’t bad. He looked to be in his twenties, very young, and most importantly, quite handsome. His features were of the kind found in Western heartthrobs, someone who could easily be the most popular guy in college. Sometimes, the man in front of her seemed too young, making her wonder how he ended up as a subordinate.

Moreover, she could tell that this young man was genuinely anxious about their boss and didn’t want anything to happen to him. Also, the fact that he noticed her back was injured seemed to silently endear him to her, as he was the only one to notice.

The villa was equipped with several medical kits, containing all sorts of medicines, even things like scalpels, left by the private doctor Lu Jingchen had previously hired.

Jack held a medical kit in one hand, while Song Qiao also held one in hers, not caring what medicines were inside, and took everything with her.

Song Qiao also understood the likelihood of her escaping was slim; she might not even make it out of this front door, especially since the area was surrounded by his men, making an escape virtually impossible for her.

But in reality, she hadn’t thought about running away.

Firstly, her physical strength wouldn’t allow it, secondly, the weather wouldn’t allow it, and thirdly, the wound on her back wouldn’t allow it.

Arriving back at the study, someone immediately opened the door for them, and the first thing they saw was the brightly lit study, with all the lamps turned on.

As Song Qiao stepped into the study, just like Ning Wan, her gaze immediately fell on the man on the sofa.
