I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot Chapter 216 An Unforeseen Event Late at Night

216 An Unforeseen Event Late at Night

“Qianqian,” Xie Shi’an’s voice was very low and hoa.r.s.e, as if he had been in a daze for a long time. “I’m just outside your house. Can you come out for a while?”

Sang Qianqian looked at the time. It was 1:45 am.

“It’s so late, let’s just talk on the phone.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end. “It’s not convenient to talk on the phone. It’s about your brother.”

Sang Qianqian hesitated for a few seconds, but still went out.

The police couldn’t find him at the Ruan family’s residence tonight. It just so happened that she wanted to ask Xie Shi’an about his situation.

Sang Qianqian opened the door and was about to leave.

Two tall bodyguards came over. “Madam, it’s late at night. Where are you going?”

Sang Qianqian knew that Shen Hanyu had arranged for them to protect her. “I’m just meeting a friend at the door. I’ll come in soon after I say a few words.”

The two bodyguards looked at the car parked outside the courtyard, nodded their heads, and followed behind Sang Qianqian.

They walked out of the courtyard and to the car.

The car door opened, and two sharp gunshots suddenly cut through the long night.

The two bodyguards groaned and clutched their chests as they fell to the ground.

Almost at the same time as the gunshot, two strong arms stretched out from the car and pulled Sang Qianqian in.

Before the door was closed, the car had already rushed forward.

When the rest of the bodyguards in the courtyard rushed out, the car had already disappeared into the night and was completely gone.

—

Sang Qianqian woke up.

When she saw her surroundings clearly, her pupils constricted, and the blood in her body froze in an instant.

This place, this place…

It was exactly the same as the place she was locked up in in her dream!

The room was dirty, messy, and filled with an indescribable, strange smell.

Fortunately, it wasn’t exactly like the dream. The ground wasn’t full of insects, snakes, rats, and ants.

She walked to the door and looked outside through the ventilation hole. Unsurprisingly, she saw the men in black who had kidnapped her guarding the door.

“Where’s Xie Shi’an?”

Sang Qianqian raised her voice. “Get Xie Shi’an to come and see me.”

The corridor was empty, and her voice came out through the air vent with some echoes.

“Young Master An would never come to see you. Don’t f*cking scream here.”

One of them was very impatient and replied while cursing, “Be quiet, or else…”

The man’s voice suddenly stopped. The next second, several voices said respectfully, “Master Cheng.”

The sound of a wheelchair rolling along with the sound of footsteps could be heard. It stopped outside the door.

The door was unlocked, and Shao Jin pushed Ruan Cheng into the room.

Sang Qianqian stared at Ruan Cheng. “Did you ask Xie Shi’an to lie to me on purpose?”

Ruan Cheng smiled. “If he’s willing to listen to me, that would’ve been great. It took a lot of effort to get him to call you.”

Sang Qianqian pursed her lips.

So, Xie Shi’an did not lie to her. Was he forced to do this?

“My brother is in your hands, right? How is he now?”

“He’s still alive for now.”

Ruan Cheng’s tone was calm. “He’s not that close to death.”

As long as Xiaoshuang did not get tired of him, Sang Minglang would be locked up by her side.

Sang Qianqian could not understand why Ruan Cheng was so against the Dang family. “The Sang family has no grudges against you. Why are you doing this to my brother?”

“No grudges?”

Ruan Cheng sneered. “He caused Xiaoshuang to get pregnant and have a miscarriage. You call that having no grudges?”

Sang Qianqian was stunned. Ruan Xiaoshuang had a miscarriage?

When did this happen? She had never heard of it before.

“My brother and Sister Xiaoshuang are adults. Their relationship is mutually consensual. If something really happened, they’ll settle it themselves.”

Sang Qianqian said, “If you do this to my brother, it will only make things more difficult for Sister Xiaoshuang. Do you think she will be happy?”

“How do you know she won’t?” Ruan Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Sang Qianqian felt that she could not communicate with Ruan Cheng. However, as long as her brother was still alive, she was more or less at ease.

“What do you want to do by bringing me here?” she asked.

Ruan Cheng didn’t say anything. His gaze swept across the room. He seemed to have thought of something as his eyes turned cold.

“Do you know where this is? Qiuling’s murderer was locked up here for eight days and was scared to death by the insects and snakes. They bit him to death and gnawed on him after he died, leaving no flesh or blood behind.”

Ruan Cheng’s tone was bone-chillingly cold. As he spoke, he glanced at Sang Qianqian. “If it weren’t for Shi’an, you might be receiving the same treatment now.”

Sang Qianqian’s feet turned cold and her fingers clenched unconsciously.

Back then, Xie Shi’an did say that his sister, Xie Qiuling, was killed before she got married to Ruan Cheng.

Although the murderer was detestable, Ruan Cheng’s way of taking revenge was no different than a demon from h.e.l.l.

She tried her best to calm herself down. “Ruan Cheng, I don’t think I’ve ever offended you. Do you have to hate me so much?”

Ruan Cheng didn’t answer her. He continued to be absorbed in his own memories. After a long time, he finally spoke.

“Qiuling once entrusted Shi’an to me. I promised her that I would let Shi’an return as the Fourth Young Master of the Xie family, and officially become the heir.”

When Ruan Cheng mentioned Qiuling’s name, a hint of gentleness appeared on his cold face. “After Qiuling died, the promise I made to her has supported me to live until now. But you…”

His gaze returned to Sang Qianqian and became cold and terrifying. “Sang Qianqian, you’ve ruined everything. Because of you, Shi’an didn’t hesitate to break off relations with me and gave up on returning to the Xie family. He had come back to help the Ruan family, but now he had to go back to being a doctor. Sang Qianqian, do you know that because of you, I won’t be able to give Qiuling an explanation even if I meet her again in the netherworld!”

“Xie Shi’an didn’t break off relations with you because of me. You’re the one who kept forcing him to walk the path he doesn’t like. Even without me, he would’ve gone against your expectations one day.”

Sang Qianqian hit the nail on the head. “He likes being a doctor, so why don’t you let him continue? Could explanations and promises be more important than a person’s true happiness? Ruan Cheng, if Xie Qiuling finds out that you’ve caused her brother to be so unhappy, she will never forgive you.”

Ruan Cheng’s expression was dark. “You’re still as sharp-tongued as ever, but that won’t be able to save you.”

He said coldly, “Shi’an will come to see you later. You’d better persuade him to give up on being a doctor. He’ll follow the path I’ve arranged for him and come back to be the heir of the Xie family. Otherwise…”

Sang Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat, “Otherwise what?”

Ruan Cheng suddenly laughed. “Otherwise, I’ll have someone send the surveillance footage to Shen Hanyu later. If he can find this place before you’re alive, you two might be able to die together.”

Sang Qianqian had also heard this sentence in her dream, but it was not from Ruan Cheng. It was from one of the men in black.

There seemed to be something in her mind that broke with a ‘Pa!’.

She had thought many times about who it was in her dream that had caused the Sang family to be in such a terrible state.

At this moment, the tragedy in the dream coincided with reality, and the truth was right in front of her.

Sang Qianqian had never hated someone so much before. She hated him so much that she even wanted to kill Ruan Cheng.
