Chapter 243 Impetuous
As soon as one of Wen Lan's feet landed on the car, she heard hurried footsteps coming from behind.
She had been hijacked once, and her unique sensitivity made her click on the phone call interface.
But before she could dial 110, a strong hand had already come to grab her phone!
In a hurry, she randomly clicked on the call record, but the phone was immediately snatched away by the man who suddenly appeared.
Jiang Jingci's gentle voice came from the phone: "What's the matter?"
She felt that the call was connected, but she didn't know who the other party was, so she could only shout: "Call the police for me! I was in the parking lot--"
Before she finished speaking, she was covered with her mouth and nose and stuffed into a black car.
The car drove out of the parking lot quickly.
The man who snatched Wen Lan's phone handed the phone respectfully to Mr. Xie.
Mr. Xie frowned and took it.
"Wen Lan! What's wrong with you? Wen Lan! Say something--" Jiang Jingci's call came from the phone.
Mr. Xie's old face was tense and he turned off the phone directly.
Twenty minutes later, Wen Lan was taken to the Xie family's old house.
The living room of the main building was brightly lit, and the door and the door were full of Mr. Xie's confidants.
Wen Lan's nerves were tense, and one hand fell on her lower abdomen nervously.
Mr. Xie brought her here just to force her to sign the settlement agreement and let Xie's mother escape legal sanctions.
Before she got pregnant, she didn't know that she would choose to be tough to the end. Now, as long as she thought of the little thing in her belly, she would be inexplicably scared.
She placed all her hopes on the phone call she made before being hijacked!
She subconsciously hoped that it was Zhou Qiao.
"Miss Wen, this is the freshly brewed oolong tea, drink it slowly to calm your nerves." Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper of the old house, held a tea tray and handed it to her.
She didn't dare to drink anything from the Xie family!
She ignored him and looked at Mr. Xie, who was sitting on a sandalwood chair and sipping tea leisurely. "Tell me, what do you need me to do to leave here?"
"Dealing with smart people is straightforward." After Mr. Xie finished speaking, Uncle Zhong put a settlement agreement and a pen in front of her.
She picked it up and took a look. In addition to forgiving Mother Xie and not pursuing her legal responsibility, there was not even a compensation!
"Miss Wen, this is the settlement agreement just drafted. The old man sincerely wanted to spend money to avoid disaster at the beginning, but Miss Wen refused to accept the toast and drank the penalty wine, and now there is no compensation." Uncle Zhong advised with a fake smile.
"Sign quickly, press your fingerprints, and Miss Wen can go back."
"Ye Hongzhi is suspected of intentional injury, and you want to turn the page so easily?" Wen Lan sneered, "You are bullying too much."
At the beginning, she did not sign the settlement agreement with a million yuan in compensation written on it by Zhang Ming, and she would not sign it now!
Now she just wants to delay time, hoping that the phone call can bring her hope.
"I don't know whether you are bullying others or not, but in my territory, you have to follow my rules of the game." Old Master Xie put down the teacup, "Young man, you are still too impetuous, think about it carefully!"
Wen Lan fell into a chair and looked up to see that the living room was full of Old Master Xie's confidants.
Old Master Xie returned to Xue Cui Yuan, and Uncle Zhong kept persuading Wen Lan with the agreement.
"Just sign it. Madam just came out of the ICU and can't stand the tossing of going to court! You should know the old man's methods. Now he just "invited" you here because of the relationship between you and the Xie family. If you really want to tear your face, you will have no place to complain even if you lose your life!"
No matter how much he nags, Wen Lan just doesn't respond.
After receiving Wen Lan's call, Jiang Jingci found out about the Xie family's old house and Old Master Xie in less than an hour.
He had dealt with Old Master Xie several times, but it was just a nod. Out of various concerns, he first found an intermediary who was on good terms with the Xie family and conveyed his meaning in a tactful way.
Mr. Xie was very tough and said that the affairs of the Xie family did not need any outsiders to intervene.
Jiang Jingci was afraid that the longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Wen Lan. When he was sure that Mr. Xie was in Xuecuiyuan, he also chased him to Xuecuiyuan.
Mr. Xie refused to meet Jiang Jingci directly on the grounds that he was not feeling well.
Jiang Jingci had heard about Mr. Xie's ruthlessness when he was young, and Mr. Xie's first pot of gold was also stained with blood.
Over the past few decades, the Xie family's business has grown bigger and bigger, and the earliest industry has been whitewashed. But all fields in Jiangcheng are more or less constrained by the Xie family.
Jiang Jingci would not choose to tear his face with Mr. Xie unless it was absolutely necessary.
Calling the police would not work. If he took people to snatch Wen Lan out of the Xie family's old house directly, it would be equivalent to declaring war on Mr. Xie, and it would be more difficult to end the follow-up, which would not work.
Jiang Jingci was afraid that Wen Lan would be wronged if he dragged it on, so he dialed Xie Yansheng's phone without hesitation.
When the ringing sound was about to end, Xie Yansheng's low and hoarse voice came, "Why did Mr. Jiang think of me?"
"Wen Lan was kidnapped by your old man and is now in the Xie family's old house--" Jiang Jingci didn't finish his words, and Xie Yansheng hung up the phone.
Jiang Jingci breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Yansheng's reaction had already told him the result. He just needed to go to the door of the Xie family's old house and wait to pick him up.
After receiving Jiang Jingci's call, Xie Yansheng drove to the old house as soon as possible.
But the door of the old house was surrounded by the old man's confidants, and he couldn't even get through the door.
He drove to Xue Cuiyuan.
The nanny said that the old man had gone to bed and asked him to come again tomorrow morning.
He didn't give up, pushed the two nannies aside, and broke into the living room on the first floor.
The old man heard the noise and came out of the bedroom wrapped in a nightgown.
Xie Yansheng's eyes were dark, and he didn't beat around the bush: "Let Wen Lan go."
"Whether she can leave the old house safely is not in my hands." Old Master Xie stared at his son who was full of anger in front of him, and he was instantly angry.
"Based on my understanding of her, she won't sign the settlement agreement this time." Xie Yansheng's eyebrows trembled slightly, "You don't know what my mother did to her a few days ago?"
"That bottle of concentrated hydrochloric acid didn't splash on her face, why should she hold on to it!" The old man snorted impatiently, "If she doesn't sign, your mother will face prosecution, and the Xie family will be embarrassed! You still have the nerve to come to me in the middle of the night to plead for her, think about it carefully!"
"If she doesn't sign, what are you going to do?" Xie Yansheng walked too fast, and the whip marks on his back were pulled painfully, and he hissed muffledly.
"If she doesn't sign, we'll waste time! We won't let her drink water or eat, and we'll have to work with more than a dozen people. I don't believe she can last more than three days." Old Master Xie looked at Xie Yansheng with a sharper gaze.
"You're still thinking about her, so all those dozens of lashes I gave her were in vain?"
Xie Yansheng lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
"Jiang Jingci, who has always been a meddlesome person, has asked someone to plead for her." Old Master Xie laughed and mocked, "Her heart has never been with you, so don't waste your efforts. My waiting is also limited. After an hour, if she still doesn't know how to behave, I can only let Ah Zhong use some tricks to force her to sign."
Xie Yansheng's heart sank.
