Hu Wan waited for a while but did not see that group of people informing her of the progress.
She called the lead criminal and wanted to ask him what was going on.
In the end, no one picked up.
“Damn it! Where did they go?! How dare they not answer my call?!” Hu Wan roared, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
“Could something have happened?” Shao Feng was the first to think of this. He could not help but lean closer to Hu Wan.
Although he could not stand seeing Hu Wan struggle over another man, he had always been on Hu Wan’s side. At this moment, he could not help but feel worried.
“Is that so? Did Chen Chen notice them?” Hu Wan’s eyebrows rose high.
Shao Feng thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think so. Those people aren’t stubborn. If Chen Chen had really discovered them, he probably would have told us. Chen Chen would have come over to denounce us long ago.”
“However, there’s another possibility.” Shao Feng leaned toward Hu Wan’s face. “Let’s assume that Chen Chen went to save Bai Ran. Then, for some reason, he did not arrive in time. When this group of people saw that Chen Chen still wanted to save Bai Ran, they wanted to escape from your control and pocket Chen Chen’s money. Therefore, you naturally could not contact them.”
“I don’t believe it. He must have been disturbed by something and didn’t have the time to look for me!” Hu Wan shouted when she heard that Chen Chen was going to save Bai Ran. It was as if she had been agitated.
“We’re talking about assumptions, okay?!” Shao Feng looked at Hu Wan speechlessly. “Besides, you thought earlier that they might have been discovered by Chen Chen. Isn’t this tacit agreement that Chen Chen is going to save Bai Ran?!”
Shao Feng pulled Hu Wan’s body over and faced him as he said seriously, “Actually, you know that he must have gone to save Bai Ran. You’re just unwilling to admit it. Let’s face the reality together, okay?”
“Ah… I don’t believe you! I don’t believe you!” Hu Wan suddenly pushed Shao Feng away and shook her head, patting the blanket on her body frantically.
“Hu Wan! Can you calm down a little?! Chen Chen doesn’t love you at all!” Shao Feng staggered. After stabilizing himself in time, he grabbed Hu Wan’s hands and stopped her. “Recognize the reality! I’m still with you!”
“What’s the use of accompanying me?! I want Chen Chen!” Hu Wan’s tears gushed out and dripped onto Shao Feng’s hand.
Shao Feng’s heart instantly ached. He let go of Hu Wan’s hand and sat on the bed to pull Hu Wan into his arms. His tone softened as he said, “Let’s not talk about these things for now. Let’s think about the problems we’re facing now.”
“You’re saying that they might want to take this money for themselves, so they won’t listen to me anymore, right?” Hu Wan leaned into Shao Feng’s arms and calmed down a little. She wiped her tears and thought seriously. “Will they have the guts to do so? Aren’t they afraid that our Hu family will take revenge in the future?”
“The specifics were set by them themselves. Do you know how much money they asked Chen Chen for? Perhaps it will be a number where they can eat up everything in the future? Who wouldn’t be tempted?” Shao Feng said calmly.
“Are you trying to tell me that not only did Chen Chen ignore me, but he also chose Bai Ran without hesitation despite the huge amount?” Hu Wan looked up and glanced at Shao Feng.
“Don’t be so sensitive. As long as it’s not an astronomical figure, then the money is just a number to Chen Chen. The amount of money is only a difference to him in terms of raising time, but to those people, it’s the difference in temptation.” Shao Feng stopped and hugged Hu Wan tighter.
“That’s true,” Hu Wan murmured, but she immediately broke free from Shao Feng’s arms and looked at him seriously.. “No, even if they really want to take the money for themselves, they’ll definitely pretend to be friendly to me before they get it. Otherwise, if I found out about it so early, how could they have gotten that money successfully?”
