Chapter 207 - 207 I’m Here to Pick Someone Up



207 I’m Here to Pick Someone Up

Ruan Xiaoshuang was supposed to recuperate in the hospital for a few days.

However, when she thought of her brother’s cold gaze when he left the ward that day, she couldn’t feel at ease. Therefore, she insisted on being discharged and went home to recuperate.

She was originally in her room thinking about how to talk to her brother about Sang Minglang again.

However, she suddenly received a call from Sang Qianqian.

!!

After she figured out the whole story, she couldn’t care about anything else and rushed out.

Outside the Ruan family’s residence.

The person who had brought people to stop Sang Qianqian was Cui Xu’s brother, Cui Ke.

When Xie Shi’an went to Ming City to celebrate Guo Dingsong’s birthday, Cui Xu and his men followed him in secret. Cui Ke was also there.

He recognized Sang Qianqian.

At first, he just didn’t like her. He thought that she rejected Xie Shi’an and didn’t know what was good for her.

And now, he hated her even more for submitting the video to the police, causing his brother to go to jail and be sentenced to heavy punishment.

As such, even though Sang Qianqian had appeared with Xie Shi’an today, he still blocked Sang Qianqian with a bad attitude and insisted on not letting her into the residence.

Xie Shi’an was furious, but Cui Ke only obeyed Ruan Cheng’s orders. He was stubborn and guarded the door with his men, refusing to let them pass.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

Soon, Ruan Xiaoshuang rushed over. Her voice was weak but firm. “Let her in. I’ll take her to see my big brother.”

When he heard that Ruan Xiaoshuang was going to take Sang Qianqian to see Ruan Cheng, Cui Ke was very angry and glared at Sang Qianqian, but he could only let her go.

After passing through the heavy courtyards, they entered a very quiet living room. A very strong smell of Chinese medicine drifted over.

Sang Qianqian followed Ruan Xiaoshuang around a corner and saw a man leaning on a soft couch with a thin blanket wrapped around him.

He was holding a bowl of medicine and drinking it slowly. He seemed to be lacking in blood as his lips were pale and his eyes were cold.

Beside him stood a young man who was about the same age as Xie Shi’an. He had a calm and respectful aura.

If he hadn’t heard Ruan Xiaoshuang call him ‘Big Brother’, the man on the bed would have responded indifferently.

Sang Qianqian found it hard to believe that this frail-looking patient who looked like he was beyond cure was actually the rumored ruthless and merciless head of the Ruan family, Ruan Cheng.

“Big Brother, Miss Sang said that you’ve sent someone to bring Minglang to see me?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang looked anxious and uneasy. “I’m clearly fine. Why did you say that I was seriously injured and on the verge of death? Why did you lie to him?”

Ruan Cheng’s gaze landed on Sang Qianqian, and he looked her up and down a few times. His tone was very calm. “Are Miss Sang’s words true? Last time, she said I was the murderer of the shooting, but wasn’t she wrong in the end?”

Sang Qianqian said word by word, “Whether or not it’s wrong, Mr. Ruan knows best in his heart.”

“So, Miss Sang, you still have some objections to the police’s decision?”

Ruan Cheng’s lips curved into a faint smile. “It’s a pity that in the end, we still have to follow the results of the police’s investigation.”

“Indeed,”

Sang Qianqian said calmly, “However, heaven’s punishment is long and loose. It’s just a matter of time.”

“Miss Sang, you have a sharp tongue.”

Ruan Cheng still had a smile on his face. He looked at Sang Qianqian’s eyes and said, “Thanks to Miss Sang’s video, I stayed in the police station for the longest seven days in history. I will always remember this favor.”

Xie Shi’an’s expression changed. “Ruan Cheng!”

“Shi’an,”

The young man behind Ruan Cheng frowned. “How can you be so rude to Master Cheng?”

“Shao Jin, you’ve just returned to the country. You don’t know that Shi’an fought with me because of this Miss Sang.”

Ruan Cheng took his medicine slowly. “If I weren’t so sick and the Ruan family wasn’t in such a difficult situation, he would probably still be working as a doctor in the hospital.”

Shao Jin stared at Sang Qianqian with a scrutinizing look for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly but he didn’t say anything.

Sang Qianqian did not come here to listen to Ruan Cheng. She was only concerned about her brother’s whereabouts.

She said coldly, “Since Ruan Xiaoshuang is fine, when my brother comes to the capital and meets Ruan Xiaoshuang, I will have to trouble Mr. Ruan to let my brother go back as soon as possible so that the family won’t worry.”

“Did I not make myself clear just now?” Ruan Cheng asked indifferently. “Miss Sang, you’ve already made a mistake once. Don’t make the same mistake again.”

Sang Qianqian gritted her teeth. “Other than you, who else would use Ruan Xiaoshuang’s injury as an excuse to trick my brother into getting on the plane?”

“Miss Sang, conjectures can’t be used as evidence. I don’t think I need to teach you this, do I?”

Ruan Cheng had clearly run out of patience and his face darkened. “Shao Jin, see the guest out.”

“Brother, you really didn’t send anyone to pick up Minglang?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang clearly didn’t believe him. Her face was even paler than Ruan Cheng’s.

Ruan Cheng frowned and was about to speak.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside, and Cui Ke’s expression was a little panicked. “Master Cheng, the police are here again! They insisted on barging in, and we couldn’t stop them…”

There were quite a few police officers, and they came in one by one, all of them looking serious.

Sang Qianqian looked up subconsciously and saw Shen Hanyu. She was stunned.

Shen Hanyu’s aura was extremely cold, and the violence in his dark eyes finally subsided a little when he met Sang Qianqian’s eyes.

He looked at the girl for a few seconds to make sure she was fine. Afterward, Shen Hanyu’s cold and sharp gaze swept over Ruan Cheng.

The two of them looked at each other, and the air was filled with the faint smoke of war.

...

Shao Jin sensed that something was wrong and took a few steps forward. “You are?”

“This is Shen Hanyu, the youngest and most promising CEO of Phoenix in the country.”

Ruan Cheng laughed. “I wonder why President Shen has brought the police to the Ruan residence?”

The coldness in Shen Hanyu’s eyes disappeared when he turned to Sang Qianqian. His eyes softened, but his voice was still cold. “I’m here to pick someone up.”

“It’s like this, Mr. Ruan.”

One of the police officers stepped forward, “We received a report that Mr. Sang Minglang boarded the Ruan family’s plane and might be in danger. Mr. Ruan, we hope that you can come with us and explain this matter clearly.”

“You said he got on the Ruan family’s plane. But is there any evidence?”

Shao Jin said, “You dare to arrest people without evidence? When did the police become so casual in handling cases?”

“We’re not here to arrest anyone. We just want Mr. Ruan to cooperate with our investigation.”

The head of the police force smiled, but his tone was firm. “Mr. Sang has previously provided the police with important evidence of the shooting. He is an important witness under our protection. The situation is urgent, so we have to deal with it on a special basis. I hope Mr. Ruan can understand.”

Shao Jin was about to say something. However, Ruan Cheng stopped him as he lifted the thin blanket. “If that’s the case, I’ll go.”

...

He got up, and Shao Jin quickly put on a heavy coat on him.

Ruan Cheng buttoned his shirt in an orderly manner, and Shao Jin helped him out of the room.

Ruan Cheng stopped in his tracks and smiled. His voice was light and slow. “It’s rare that President Shen is here. I can’t entertain you well today, but there’s no rush. We’ll have plenty of time in the future.”

It seemed to be a very normal and polite sentence, but when Sang Qianqian heard it, her heart tightened.

The light in front of her eyes suddenly dimmed. She looked up in shock when she met Shen Hanyu’s deep, dark eyes.

The next second, Shen Hanyu held her hand, his low and gentle voice echoing in her ears.

“Come home with me.”
