According to the accounts of these four robbers, they did not even know the identity of their employer.
The contact was made by phone, and their voices were disguised by a voice changer. Even the deposit was placed where the employer instructed them to retrieve it via phone.
This meant that there was no way to find out who was behind their actions.
Ye Cangtian was not surprised. He noticed Tang Xinwan's brow furrowed, as if she had a suspect in mind. She inquired, "Is this Su Hang City?"
"Yes, Mr. Ye suspects these robbers are connected to that fellow surnamed Zhou, so we came to Su Hang City in advance," Liu Zhendong replied.
Tang Xinwan inwardly thought: Just as I suspected!
She had only been guessing, but she hadn't expected that the other party might actually be the instigator. For a moment, she couldn't help but show a look of anger.
Ye Cangtian glanced at her and then said, "Don't worry, I'll handle that fellow surnamed Zhou! I will definitely make him regret doing this."
"Don't be impulsive!"
Tang Xinwan hurriedly advised, shaking her head. "We have no evidence to prove he's involved, and if you really do something to him, you'll be responsible."
She was worried that Ye Cangtian would retaliate directly and cause trouble, so she didn't want him to act recklessly over this matter.
Ye Cangtian pondered for two seconds, then nodded and smiled, "Alright, I hope he doesn't reveal any clues, otherwise I won't let him off!"
Soon, Zhou Yuan also arrived.
"Mr. Ye, Miss Tang, the hotel has been booked for you!"
It had to be said that Liu Zhendong, as a friend, was indeed quite adept at handling things. Despite being a local influential figure, he showed no arrogance, and had even made all the arrangements.
Ye Cangtian, with Tang Xinwan, prepared to leave.
Liu Zhendong inquired, "Mr. Ye, how should these people be dealt with?"
Ye Cangtian looked at Tang Xinwan, then smiled and said, "You handle it as you see fit!"
Watching the two walk out of the abandoned car repair shop, Liu Zhendong returned directly to the four robbers.
A moment later, Gao Yuan asked with some complexity, "Brother Liu, did you kill them?"
He had expected Liu Zhendong to hand them over to the police, but he hadn't expected him to decisively eliminate all four of them.
This made Gao Yuan very confused. Hadn't Mr. Ye said to handle it as he saw fit?
Liu Zhendong took a deep breath and said, "These four kidnapped Miss Tang, so how could we let them live so easily? Mr. Ye was just considering Miss Tang's feelings and didn't want to say it directly!"
Zhou Yuan hesitated for a long time before finally unable to resist asking, "Brother Liu, who exactly is this Mr. Ye?"
...
A Rolls-Royce Phantom was driving into a garden-like villa courtyard.
Ten minutes later, Tao Chuanping sat in the living room, holding a cup of coffee. While drinking, he inquired, "How did the matter go?"
"It has already been instructed to them!"
Behind Tao Chuanping, a servant with a scar on his face bowed slightly, then asked with some confusion, "Master, didn't you say we just needed to bring the person back and keep them in the basement? Why..."
Tao Chuanping's original plan was to have someone kidnap Tang Xinwan and then transfer her to his private villa. After all, she was young and beautiful, a rare beauty.
He wanted to imprison her and make her his plaything!
However, on his way back to Su Hang, he had a vague premonition of something bad. Therefore, he ultimately decided it would be better to have those robbers deal with Tang Xinwan directly.
After all, she had considerable influence. If the police suspected him due to them being competing companies, it would not be worth the loss.
Tao Chuanping did not explain. He said sternly, "Once it's confirmed that the person is truly dead, remember that the four of them must not be kept alive either!"
"Understood!"
The scarred man nodded. The fate of the four robbers was sealed from the beginning; they were not meant to survive.
Tao Chuanping took a couple of sips of coffee to refresh himself and casually asked, "What has Yu'er been doing these past two days? Has he not returned yet?"
"Young Master said he made plans with two actresses..."
Before the scarred man could finish, Tao Chuanping cursed angrily, "Useless wretch! Idle and doing nothing all day. I think the Tao family will eventually be ruined by him!"
The Tao family had a considerable fortune, but it had been passed down through three generations, with only one son. Now, this incompetent son was constantly infuriating him.
Tao Chuanping took a deep breath to calm himself, then said, "Alright, remember to bring that unfilial son back tomorrow. You may leave."
The scarred man nodded and turned to retreat.
However, as soon as he walked out of the living room, the scarred man received a text message. After seeing its content, his face changed, and he hurried back.
"Master, those four are dead! And, the person has been rescued!"
"What?"
Tao Chuanping stood up in shock, accidentally dropping the coffee cup in his hand. Most of the coffee spilled all over him.
...
Ye Cangtian and Tang Xinwan arrived at the hotel.
The moment the room door opened, Ye Cangtian was stunned, while Tang Xinwan's pretty face blushed.
Because it was a couples' room!
The room was filled with rose petals, even on the bed. This scene felt somewhat familiar to Ye Cangtian!
He then smiled and said, "This Zhou Yuan is quite good at handling things!"
Tang Xinwan snorted with a red face, biting her teeth. "How can we both stay in one room?"
Ye Cangtian chuckled, "We'll make do. Zhou Yuan kindly arranged a room for us, we can't refuse it! Besides, I don't mind!"
"..."
Tang Xinwan was speechless. You don't mind, but I do!
However, what he said was true. Since they had kindly arranged the room, it wouldn't be appropriate to ask them for a change.
It was just that she felt somewhat embarrassed. Seeing him smiling so brightly, she couldn't help but glare fiercely at him and threaten, "Don't have any filthy thoughts in your head, we're not at that stage yet!"
By the time she said the last sentence, Tang Xinwan's voice had weakened slightly.
She knew that if it were in the past, she would never have said the phrase 'not at that stage.'
The two stood in the couples' room for a moment of silence.
Ye Cangtian scratched his scalp. Just as he was about to say something conciliatory, Tang Xinwan suddenly spoke, "You can come back to live."
"Ah?" Ye Cangtian was taken aback.
"Come back to live, I won't kick you out anymore!" Tang Xinwan said weakly, looking down. She remembered a sentence he had muttered to himself when he left that day.
This is not my home after all!
For a moment, Tang Xinwan's mind raced. She knew Ye Cangtian was an orphan, so she seemed to feel the lonely expression on his face when he left.
Thinking of this, she added, "From now on, you can consider my home, as... as your own home!"
Ye Cangtian was a bit bewildered. He had planned to humble himself, after all, he had shamelessly moved back in.
However, before he could even speak, she had proactively invited him to move back.
Seeing his silence, Tang Xinwan hurriedly asked, "Why aren't you speaking? Don't you want to move back? Is it because of that policewoman?"
Ye Cangtian, "..."
Heh, women!
