Ye Zhenting gripped the handle of the palm-length dagger tightly in his hand and held it against Ye Zhen's neck. His other hand held Ye Zhen tightly against his chest as he hid behind Ye Zhen. He looked at the people in front of him and said sternly, "So you're all in cahoots!"
He was so agitated that he kept retreating while holding Ye Zhen hostage.
The blade of the dagger was pressed tightly against Ye Zhen's neck. The bone-chilling sensation didn't frighten Ye Zhen. She was even able to calmly negotiate with Ye Zhenting.
"I've said it before. I don't know them!"
From the words of these loan sharks, Ye Zhen could vaguely guess that these people might have some connection with Lu Beichuan. Otherwise, they wouldn't have changed sides and helped her deal with Ye Zhenting.
However, these people were simply too unreliable!
Ye Zhenting didn't listen to her explanation and put himself in the shoes of the victim. He sternly accused her, "Ye Zhen, no matter what, I'm still your father. Even if I did something wrong to let you down in the past, how could you set a trap for me like this!"
"I set a trap? What trap did I set? Did I force you to gamble, to borrow money from loan sharks, and to kidnap me? "Ye Zhen said in a low voice." Calm down. Put the dagger down. They're not in cahoots with me. "
After saying this, Ye Zhen looked at the people in front of her and asked, "Who are you working for?"
The man in front of her looked nervously at the dagger Ye Zhenting had placed in front of Ye Zhen. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He was afraid that the dagger would hurt Ye Zhen, so he cursed Ye Zhenting countless times in his heart.
"Mrs. Lu, our boss and Mr. Lu are friends."
Ye Zhen completely understood at this moment. She said to Ye Zhenting, "Beichuan has been running around for you these past few days. It wasn't easy for him to find your loan sharks to help you solve the loan shark problem. Now you want to go to jail for kidnapping and extortion?"
At the mention of going to jail, Ye Zhenting's hand holding the dagger trembled.
"Re... Really?"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask them if they've settled the loan shark problem."
The man in front of him nodded. "Ye Zhenting, our boss said that Mr. Lu has settled the 40 million for you. Put the dagger down!"
Hearing this, Ye Zhenting's hand trembled violently. His eyes drifted, and he couldn't say anything for a while.
These days, he thought that Ye Zhen and the Lu Family wouldn't give him a single cent. before this, he had sincerely wanted to use Ye Zhen to blackmail Lu Beichuan. Lu... he had planned..... Ye.
With Lu Beichuan's feelings for Ye Zhen and Ye Zhen being with him, there was no way Lu Beichuan wouldn't use money to ransom her. As long as he waited for Lu Beichuan to give him the money and he paid the loan sharks, he wouldn't have to be afraid of anything.
As for the kidnapping and extortion charge... He and Ye Zhen were father and daughter. Ye Zhen was fine with him. She wasn't injured and her freedom wasn't restricted. How could it be considered kidnapping? How could it be considered extortion if he asked his son-in-law for money?
But who would have thought that Lu Beichuan would actually go to the loan sharks for his sake and help him solve the problem?
Feeling the force around her gradually weaken, Ye Zhen's tense nerves relaxed. She knew that Ye Zhenting had listened to her.
Knowing that he had misunderstood, Ye Zhenting smiled embarrassedly and said, "Zhen Zhen, Dad was wrong. It was a misunderstanding. Don't be afraid."
As he spoke, he loosened his grip on Ye Zhen's hand. As soon as Ye Zhen was released from his grip, she immediately took a few steps back. She rubbed her neck and was surprised to find that her fingertips were stained with blood.
The dagger was bought by Ye Zhenting for self-defense after being chased by loan sharks. It was very sharp, and the skin on his neck was delicate. Just now, when he was agitated, he accidentally cut a fingernail-sized wound on the surface of his skin. The wound was very small and shallow, and it didn't hurt much. Under high tension, Ye Zhen didn't notice it.
Ye Zhenting saw the small wound on Ye Zhen's neck. Before he could put down the knife, he took a few steps forward and asked anxiously, "Did you accidentally hurt yourself? Sit down and let Dad take a look! "
Ye Zhenting knew that Lu Beichuan valued Ye Zhen very much. If he hurt Ye Zhen, he didn't know if Lu Beichuan would be willing to pay back the loan sharks!
So when Lu Beichuan entered the room, he saw this scene.
Ye Zhenting approached Ye Zhen with a knife in his hand. The bright blade seemed to be mottled with blood. Ye Zhen covered her neck with her hand and looked at Ye Zhenting with a frown. Her feet were one in front and one behind. It was a posture of alert.
Seeing this scene, Lu Beichuan and the bodyguards he brought swarmed forward. Lu Beichuan cleanly kicked the knife out of Ye Zhenting's hand. Ye Zhenting, who was kicked over, was then pressed to the ground by the bodyguards, unable to move.
From beginning to end, only two or three seconds had passed. It wasn't enough time for people to react.
Lu Beichuan walked quickly to Ye Zhen and looked her up and down nervously. There was uneasiness in his voice as he asked, "Are you okay?"
Ye Zhen looked at Ye Zhenting, who was pressed to the ground. When she heard Lu Beichuan's question, she looked up and suddenly met Lu Beichuan's worried eyes.
His nervous eyes flashed uneasily. He looked her up and down carefully with lingering fear.
Ye Zhen removed her hand from her neck and smiled at him reassuringly. "I'm fine."
