Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 750: Informed

CHAPTER 750

Seeing how jumpy she got, Aiden could not help but shake his head at her.

“You know, for someone who very much wanted a call, you sure are a scaredy cat when the very call you wanted finally reached you.”

At this point, Yi Lifen did not bother arguing with his words and quickly took her phone and answered it.

“Hello, Ye Cheng,” she greeted and sent a knowing look at Aiden.

“Concentrate,” he mouthed at her.

.....

“Hello? Fen-Fen, good evening,” his deep voice responded in a like manner as hers.

“Good evening. How are you?”

“I am okay. And you?”

Instead of answering, she shook her head. She had forgotten he could not see her and when it dawned on her he wasn’t beside her, she spoke up.

“I’m huh... Better I guess.”

“You guess?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Nothing much. By the way, why hasn’t Li Jing been answering her call? She got me very worried you know.”

“I see,” his voice trailed off.

Although Yin Lifen was like family to him, Ye Cheng could not bring himself to easily tell the truth about the incident.

Left to him, Li Jing should be the best person to dish out such information to her.

Only girls knew how best to share their information.

“She is having her bath,” he responded.

“Okay. I guess I was worried about nothing then.”

“I won’t say that though.”

Instantly, her brows drew close as she tried to deduce a better meaning to his words and when she couldn’t, she asked, “Huh, what do you mean by that?”

“He inhaled deeply and with it, decided to let her know. “Something happened on her way from work.”

“You are kidding me, right?”

“I wish I was.”

Just thinking about everything that transpired that day left his head aching badly. To him, this was no act.

“Ye Cheng,” Yi Lifen called out and rose to her feet

There was no way she could be calm after listening to what he said. Nope.

“Speak to me, please. Tell me, what exactly happened?”

“She was kidnapped.”

“She what?!”

Her eyes flared open as her breathing ceased for a moment.

All of a sudden, it felt like the world was spinning in front of her as his words resonated deep in her mind.

She had merely left Li Jing and so much had occurred to that point.

Kidnapping wasn’t a simple case, to say the least, but the fact that she was bathing now meant Ye Cheng did all he could to get her.

At this point, so many emotions spiralled in her head as her eyes darted about while trying to fix things in her brain.

“Yin Lifen? Hello? Fen-Fen. Yi Lifen,” Ye Cheng called out repeatedly but got no response from her.

At the moment, only her body was there. Her mind was far gone.

She could not imagine what kind of terror Li Jing must have faced before Ye Cheng got the chance to rescue her.

Sensing something wrong from the way Ye Cheng’s voice called out to Yi Lifen, Aiden got up from where he sat and made his way over to her.

It wasn’t until he placed a hand gently on her shoulders that she snapped back from her trance.

“Fen-Fen?” Ye Cheng reached out once more.

“Yes?”

“Thank goodness. I thought maybe something... I don’t know what to think at this moment, to be honest. Please do not zone out on me again.”

“Uh...” She gulped down hard as she trailed her gaze over to Aiden by her side.

He gave a small nod, assuring her of his support. “Thanks,” she whispered to him and exhaled sharply.

“I am truly sorry, Ye Cheng. For zoning out on you and for what happened to Li Jing. I know it must have been a hard time for her.”

“It was but you know your friend, she is giving it her best and acting normal.”

“Well, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.”

“True.”

“Anyways, have you caught the mastermind behind all of this?” She suddenly brought up the matter.

His breathing went still for a second there. he was not expecting her to bring that up suddenly but being who he was, her answered swiftly. “No.”

Although he had a good idea of who was behind it, that was the answer they told the police as well.

Not until they could get the guys caught to confess, there was no proof.

And in cases like this, they could be charged with slandering should in case her grand aunties took the case up.

Not only that, if he should believe Ren, that should also mean Kim Fan was ready to side with them and help him.

Until everything was clear and settled, he wasn’t going to let the secret out in the open.

This was why he had to lie to Yin Lifen and keep her in the dark for now.

“I see. Since I am here, I can help out in any way I can. Just ask me for anything and I will do my best.”

“What can you do when you are far from here?” Ye Cheng questioned in disbelief.

“What can I do?” she repeated his question.

“A lot. For starters, I think I may be in the right zone to help. Not everyone who stays close by is meant to help, you know.”

“You wish to speak in parables now?” Ye Cheng teased lightly.

“Not entirely. However, if it were to come down to investigations and help in finding clues, I think this city is the best place.”

His brows creased at her assurance. “You seem too sure, to be honest,” Ye Cheng revealed.

“Exactly. I was the one who stayed here with her when you remained in Start city,” Yin Lifen began.

“Okay...” From the way his voice trailed off she could tell he did not get a good grasp of what she meant.

“You know her aunties, Lin Qi and Lin Xuilan, both ladies have been a thorn in her flesh for as long as I can remember.”

“She told me.”

“Great. If those witches could try and kill their brother, what more can they not do? Anyways, you do not have to believe me now, but I am sure they have something to do with it.”

Ye Cheng reached for his forehead and gently massaged his temples.

Everything being said and with what had transpired, it was true that they were the masterminds.

Just thinking about how far they could go for money made his inside boil with rage but now wasn’t the time for that.

Nonetheless, he promised within his heart that the moment all proof goes in their direction, then there would be no more holding back.

He was going to make them pay by law and ensure no amount of bribery could save them from his grasp.

“I believe you.”

Her lips pulled back and she smiled. It wasn’t much to light up her face, but Aiden, who watched her, felt satisfied.

.....

To him, the storm had passed. Now she could maintain her calm.

“I am glad you do. Although they may not be the mastermind behind this just as the one from Chairman Zhang. All I know is those set of people need to pay dearly. They are after her life for greed.”

“Yes. I have let the war linger on and been on the receiving side. You can worry less. For this whoever the mastermind is that orchestrated it, they would face the full extent of the law.”

“Thank you. Truly. Li Jing is indeed lucky to have you for a husband. Please ignore her stubbornness and keep my friend safe.”

“I promise you that.”

“Thanks. As I said before, if you need my help for anything, just let me know.”

“Alright. Oh, and please do not inform her grandfather. Lin Zian doesn’t deserve this kind of shock currently.”

“I won’t. You have nothing to worry about. When she gets out of the bathroom, send my regards to her for me.”

“I will. Send my greetings to your fiancé too and congratulations.”

“Sure. Alright, goodnight.”

She removed it from her ear and ended the call. While her fingers worked their way into locking her phone screen, Yin Lifen’s tired gaze glanced over at Aiden.

“I am sure you heard most of it, right?”

“I did. I may not know the Lin family as well as Kim Fan does. However, I am sure things aren’t as happy as everyone sees it.”

“Thanks. Please let this remain a secret, okay?”

“I promise you, darling. By the way, how is Li Jing?”

“I hope she is fine but not everyone would be okay after having an episode with kidnappers.”

Her shoulders slumped as she hung her head low. “Just thinking about it is giving me goosebumps.”

Aiden’s brows creased from the information. He had caught something like that earlier but felt he heard wrongly.

Now that he was hearing it first-hand, he could not help but shake his head.

“With how stubborn she is on a regular day, plus her mood swing today and the kidnapping case, I am so sure she is not alright.”

“Stop worrying your pretty head. She has Ye Cheng to keep her safe now. I am sure he won’t let such nonsense repeat itself again.”

“I hope not too.”

“Do not worry. We are on my turf. If you need help, come to me.”

“Thanks. For now, I think I need that bath and a good massage to keep my brain functioning.”

“Exactly.” He placed a kiss on her forehead as he led her toward the bathroom. “Go clean up, babe.”
