The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

The two called out several times, but there was no response.

Several women standing in the restroom huddled together, their eyes filled with fear as they stared at them.

A bodyguard stepped forward and asked, "Did you see a very beautiful woman come in, wearing a black trench coat, about this tall?"

He tried to place his hand near his mouth.

Several women shook their heads fearfully, "No...I didn't see it."

Their expressions grew increasingly grim.

One of the women mustered her courage and spoke up: "I...I didn't see anyone come in, but I saw a girl who looked similar to what you described being pulled out the back door by an old man."

The reason she remembered it was because when she saw it, she scoffed, "Some women will do anything for money, it's disgusting."

Yao Yingxi was conscious and awake, but her subconscious stirred.

Only then did I realize that I was blindfolded and tied to something hard and cold, and I couldn't move my hands or feet.

She struggled and twisted several times, the rope rubbing against her hands and causing her skin to bleed. Apart from the immediate pain, she felt nothing else.

Only after carefully recalling what had happened did I fully realize that I had been kidnapped.

As for who it was, that remains unknown.

"woke up?"

A familiar voice rang out from above. Yao Yingxi was startled, but not too surprised, as if it was unexpected.

Xu Hengyuan held the dagger close to Yao Yingxi's face and spoke in a sinister voice.

Yao Yingxi's face instinctively shrank back when she felt the cold.

Xu Hengyuan sneered: "Move again, and I'll slash your face."

As he spoke, he touched the tip of the knife to Yao Yingxi's face: "Tell me, if I were to cut your face, would Xi Yuanchen still let you stay by his side?"

The voice was cold and filled with anger.

This wretched girl is just like her short-lived ex-wife; she's got the makings of seducing men.

Yao Yingxi remained silent.

Xu Hengyuan grinned maliciously, gritting his teeth: "Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?"

"Yao Yingxi, you ruined everything for me, I wish I could kill you."

As he said this, his eyes glared angrily, his hand gripping the dagger tightly, as if he wanted nothing more than to stab Yao Yingxi's heart with the dagger.

Yao Yingxi retorted fearlessly, "Everything you have is ruined by your own hands. If you hadn't done all this, how would I have had this opportunity?"

"Xu Hengyuan, in the end, you only have yourself to blame..."

"Shut up."

Even so, if it weren't for Yao Yingxi, he believed he had the ability to fill that void. It was this wretched girl who ruined his plans and destroyed his company.

Yao Yingxi, still trying to be sarcastic, was instead yelled at and reprimanded by Xu Hengyuan.

She moved her head, trying to break free of the black cloth covering her eyes.

Her eyes were covered, and she was terrified, but she had to suppress her fear.

Yao Yingxi curled her lips into a sneer: "You're the one who evaded taxes and bribed officials, I didn't frame you."

"Snapped……"

As soon as the words were finished, a crisp sound hit Yao Yingxi's face.

She was knocked to the side. Xu Hengyuan glared at her with sinister eyes and a ferocious expression: "Shut up."

Yao Yingxi smirked and continued her sarcasm without fear of death: "Are you angry because you were hit where it hurts?"

Xu Hengyuan was so angry that his veins bulged, and his hand gripping the dagger cracked. With his other hand, he grabbed Yao Yingxi's neck, pointing the knife at her face: "Yao Yingxi, are you testing whether I dare to kill you?"

With her throat constricted and her breath taken away, Yao Yingxi's face flushed red.

She struggled, a violent fear gripping her every limb.

Just when Yao Yingxi thought she was going to be strangled to death by Xu Hengyuan.

Xu Hengyuan loosened his grip on his hand.

She was struggling to breathe, coughing violently.

Xu Hengyuan patted Yao Yingxi's face with the flat of his knife: "I really don't want to kill you right now."

His expression was gloomy, his eyes bloodshot with anger, and he said, word by word, "You ruined everything for me. How can I not make you feel the same excruciating pain, tormenting you little by little?"

Yao Yingxi said sharply, "I believe you, Xu Hengyuan, are capable of doing it."

"Since that's the case, there are probably only the two of us here, so why are you blindfolding me?"

A smirk curled at the corner of his mouth: "Is it because you, Xu Hengyuan, are ashamed?"

"No, how could you, Xu Hengyuan, who has harmed the wife who shared your suffering, know what shame is?"

She provoked Xu Hengyuan into removing the blindfold from his eyes.

Yao Yingxi opened her eyes and realized that it was already dark, but she didn't know what time it was.

Her gaze fell back on Xu Hengyuan, who stood before her with poor skin and a stubble, and she said sneer, "Oh, Chairman Xu, have you gotten used to being a beggar?"

No wonder she didn't see him in the coffee shop. Given Xu Hengyuan's current state, even He Qinfang probably wouldn't recognize him.

Xu Hengyuan was furious. He grabbed her slender neck and coldly warned, "Don't think that just because I don't want to kill you now, you can challenge my bottom line."

Yao Yingxi's face flushed red from being choked, but she was still fearless and mocked, "You'd better kill me quickly, or you won't have a chance."

Xu Hengyuan released the hand that was gripping her neck, then slapped Yao Yingxi across the face, his eyes gleaming like an eagle's: "No chance. Do you think Xi Yuanchen will come to save you like he did the last two times?"

In the past few days, he followed Yao Yingxi's investigation and found that Xi Yuanchen had not returned to that apartment. He was either arguing with Yao Yingxi or on a business trip.

Otherwise, why would he choose today to make his move?

Yao Yingxi clenched her fists. Xi Yuanchen had reminded her repeatedly before his business trip, but it was to no avail.

"I knew it! How could you not have instigated Fugui to try to shoot me in the street?"

Yao Yingxi said sarcastically, "Xu Hengyuan, you've really raised a good lackey."

Hearing her mention this, Xu Hengyuan laughed and was furious: "It's a pity I couldn't kill you. Yao Yingxi, you're really tough."

If Fugui had succeeded that time, he wouldn't be in this predicament, being chased by the police. His biggest regret is that he should have killed Yao Yingxi back then.

"However, your life isn't so tough today."

As he spoke, he patted Yao Yingxi's face.

Yao Yingxi turned her head away, avoiding him with disgust.

At the same time, the international airport.

As soon as Xi Yuanchen got off the plane, he got into the car with a gloomy face.

"Have you found it yet?"

As soon as he got off the plane, he saw a message on the phone he had entrusted to Anan that Yao Yingxi was missing. The sender was the bodyguard he had arranged to follow Yao Yingxi.

Anan answered while pressing his phone: "The police have located the location now; it's in an abandoned factory in the west of the city."

He was on his phone contacting his bodyguard to find out what was going on over there.

The bodyguards couldn't find Xi Yuanchen all afternoon and couldn't contact him, so they had no choice but to call the police.

Where did Yao Yingxi disappear?

"They said it was lost at the coffee shop that Ms. Yao frequented during this period."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yuanchen paused and said, "Replace those two people. They can't even judge people properly, so there's no point in keeping them."

Anan remained silent, but could sense that Xi Yuanchen's emotions were at their worst.

Anan expressed his complete understanding, saying that no one would be in a good mood.

I was exhausted after returning from a business trip and needed my lover to kiss, hug, touch, and rub against me, but the lover who should have been waiting for me at home was gone.
