The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 323 Things got big

Seeing Xiao Jingchen looking at Lin Ran with an anxious expression, Ye Chuchu clenched her fists in jealousy.

"Ranran, are you alright?"

Xiao Jingchen gave it only a cold glance, and the servant who had just looked fierce retreated to the side in a panic.

Xiao Jingchen carefully helped the person up, but the coldness in his eyes vanished completely when he saw Lin Ran.

Lin Ran felt a little dizzy. She leaned against Xiao Jingchen and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes were full of coldness.

"Ye Chuchu, as long as you tell me Niannian's whereabouts now, I'll pretend this never happened, okay?"

Lin Ran's tone was very calm, yet still somewhat coaxing.

Ye Chuchu's expression did soften slightly, but then she seemed to remember something, and her eyes hardened again.

"Lin Ran, I don't know what you mean."

"This is slander, I'm going to sue you."

Lin Ran stared at Ye Chuchu expressionlessly for a long while, then suddenly chuckled softly.

Before anyone could react, a cold glint flashed before their eyes.

Lin Ran pulled out a dagger and pointed the tip at Ye Chuchu's face.

"Ye Chuchu, don't force me. I'm capable of anything."

"All I want to know right now is where my daughter is. If you tell me, I'll let you go."

The cold, sharp blade pressed tightly against her face, and Ye Chuchu finally began to feel afraid. She trembled as she looked at Xiao Jingchen, only to find him staring at Lin Ran with a worried expression.

"I...I really don't know where she is."

"Lin Ran, I really don't know. Please forgive me. I don't know anything."

A cool sensation spread across her face, and Ye Chuchu lost all will to resist, her body collapsing limply.

Lin Ran stared blankly for a long time before the dagger in her hand clattered to the ground.

"Xiao Jingchen, what should we do?"

His expression softened slightly as he held Lin Ran in his arms and gently comforted her.

"Leave it to me, okay?"

Lin Ran did not answer, but silently shed tears.

Seeing her pale face, Xiao Jingchen picked her up and turned to leave.

Behind her, Ye Chuchu was panting heavily, her face full of relief.

She did arrange for that to be done, but the group disappeared after they succeeded, and she couldn't find them no matter how she tried to contact them.

This matter probably has nothing to do with her...

In a panic, Ye Chuchu smashed the phone she used to contact those people and threw it away.

hospital.

Grandpa Xiao sat at the door of the operating room with a worried expression.

He had nurtured Sui Sui's health little by little, and now that she had just returned to China, she had suffered such a serious injury. He felt heartbroken and also somewhat guilty.

The door remained closed for a long time, and there was still no clue after year. The old man sighed deeply, asked Butler Xiao to bring him his cell phone, and dialed the numbers he thought he would never get through to.

"Hello, it's me. I need your help with something..."

"Yes, it's me. Something came up..."

The old man made six or seven phone calls in a row before stopping, and his usually straight back seemed to gradually bend as a result.

"Master, don't worry too much, Miss Niannian will be alright."

"hope so."

The operating room door finally opened slowly, and Grandpa Xiao quickly went in.

"How about it?"

"Don't worry, sir. He'll be fine. He just needs some rest. Remember to take good care of himself these days and try not to move around too much."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely keep a close eye on things, and nothing else will happen."

Tears seemed to well up in the old man's eyes as he looked at the pale-faced Sui Sui, his eyes filled with heartache.

Just then, Xiao Jingchen returned carrying Lin Ran, placed her on the bed next to Sui Sui, and left the ward with some reluctance.

"grandfather."

Xiao Jingchen's expression was somewhat complicated, tinged with nervousness. His lips moved several times before he finally managed to utter a single sentence.

"I can't find Niannian, please help me."

This was the first time Xiao Jingchen had bowed his head before the old man, even with a hint of pleading.

Grandpa Xiao stood there stunned for a long time.

He knew that Xiao Jingchen hated having his affairs interfered with, so even though he had already asked someone for help, he didn't say anything, for fear that the kid might do something if he found out.

But now...

The old man's expression changed repeatedly before finally settling into a helpless sigh.

Perhaps this is what growing up is all about. The stubborn man of the past has developed a weakness and will humble himself for the sake of his wife and children.

"You little rascal, I'm your grandfather, we're family, what's with all this asking for favors?"

"Don't worry, I'm more worried than you are."

Xiao Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion, a complex expression flashing across his eyes.

It seems that bowing one's head isn't so hard to accept after all.

"And Ranran, please help look after her. She's emotionally unstable, and I'm afraid something might happen to her."

With a beginning, it seems much easier to say the rest.

Old Master Xiao snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more, and turned back to the ward.

Xiao Jingchen took a deep look at the two people on the bed, then left the hospital with heavy steps.

In the dead of night, the moonlight shone brightly on the ground, and something seemed to be crawling out of the grass.

"Just who is this girl? She can shut down such a big amusement park just like that."

"Yeah, boss, are we doomed?"

Three men emerged from the bushes; they were the same three who had kidnapped Niannian during the day.

Poor Niannian was carried on the man's shoulders, her clothes still covered with weeds and mud, and her fair face was smeared with ash, making her look extremely disheveled.

The man called the boss gritted his teeth in resentment.

He recognized the man—the president of the Xiao Group, that cold and ruthless man.

The child in his arms is probably his youngest daughter.

The thought of this possibility sent a chill down the man's spine.

"Boss, why don't you say anything?"

The man gritted his teeth, glanced at the child in his arms, and sat down to make his decision.

"Let's go. We're not going to get any money from this deal. We're going abroad to sell this child and never come back."

After he finished speaking, the two men were stunned for a moment, a look of struggle flashing across their faces.

"Boss, is it that serious?"

"Yeah, maybe they just have a little money at home. They can just move to another city."

The man sighed deeply, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to leave."

"This child probably belongs to that CEO of the Xiao Group. We not only took his daughter away, but also injured his son. Do you think he will let us go?"

"Second and Third Brothers, if you trust me, come with me."
