Chapter 861 A Familiar Perpetrator!
"Yunxi, you know, I can act more conveniently on my own," Chen Xuan said, gazing at Su Yunxi tenderly and earnestly.
Su Yunxi thought about it and agreed. If it weren't for saving her at the Zheng family, Chen Xuan wouldn't have let Master Lai Er escape and all these troubles wouldn't have occurred.
"Be careful!"
Su Yunxi took a deep breath and could only say.
"Okay!"
Chen Xuan waved goodbye, watching Yang Zhenzhen and Su Yunxi leave. He then hailed a taxi and headed straight to the residence of rubber king Li Jiacheng.
Li Jiacheng's villa was several times more imposing than the Zheng family's. Its vast grounds were comparable to a small forest park; one would probably need half a day to walk around the entire villa on foot.
"No wonder this guy always talks about chartering planes; he's so rich."
Looking at the villa, Chen Xuan couldn't help but marvel.
As a magnate in Hong Kong, the Li family's overall strength was significantly greater than the Su family's. Of course, if the Su family were to consolidate, they might not be inferior to the current Li family.
Upon arriving at the gate of the Li family villa, Chen Xuan announced himself.
The guard in his security uniform respectfully said, "Mr. Chen, hello!"
Li Jiacheng had personally called the guard post earlier, so how could he dare to be negligent?
He had worked at the Li family for three years, and as far as he knew, Li Jiacheng had only made one personal call to the guard post, which was when the Governor of Hong Kong, Wu Yingxiong, came to visit. This was the second time, so Chen Xuan's status was readily apparent.
Therefore, the guard immediately arranged for a vehicle to take Chen Xuan to the residential area of the villa. Soon, they arrived at a seven-story Western-style building, which was very elegant.
At this moment, quite a few people were already waiting at the entrance, with Li Jiacheng himself leading the group!
As soon as he got out of the car, Li Jiacheng hurried forward, "Mr. Chen, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come!"
"Mr. Li, you are too kind. Actually, I was planning to find you anyway and had some matters to trouble you with; this is just a coincidence," Chen Xuan said calmly.
"What is it?" Li Jiacheng asked with some curiosity.
"Let's tend to your wife's illness first. My matters are not urgent," Chen Xuan waved his hand.
From the phone call, he could tell that Li Jiacheng's wife was likely in a critical condition.
Li Jiacheng thought so too. Forgetting to act like a gentleman in front of Chen Xuan, he grabbed Chen Xuan's arm and led him into the hall.
"What happened to your wife?" Chen Xuan frowned.
As they walked, Li Jiacheng sighed and said, "After a few intimate encounters, we went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that Weiwei was indeed pregnant. We were both very happy, but also a little nervous."
"It was the first child we had after much difficulty, and Weiwei was a bit anxious, often suffering from insomnia, headaches, and sleep talking. I initially thought it was due to too much pressure, but her condition gradually worsened."
"Weiwei started to lose her temper, as if she had become a different person, and was extremely irritable. One night, I woke up and found Weiwei missing. I heard some noise outside, so I went out and found Weiwei self-harming."
"I knew Weiwei was not acting normally, so I had people protect her. Suddenly, I received a call saying Weiwei was self-harming again. This time, she was punching her own stomach. Fortunately, the servants discovered it in time and stopped her, preventing a miscarriage."
Her temperament changed drastically? Had she gone mad?
Chen Xuan frowned, sensing a familiar aura.
"Mr. Chen, do you have a way?" Li Jiacheng asked, seeing Chen Xuan's silence.
"We'll know once we go in and take a look," Chen Xuan smiled.
Upon entering the hall, Chen Xuan was taken aback.
He saw a disheveled woman tied to a leather armchair in the living room.
The woman was wearing branded clothing, but it was torn, revealing large swathes of fair skin. Beneath her dirty hair was a face that was once intellectual and gentle!
Especially the woman's abdomen, which was slightly swollen, appearing to be several months pregnant. Clearly, she was a pregnant woman.
However, the woman struggled fiercely. If she weren't tied up, she would have aborted the child in her womb.
"What is going on?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Jiacheng.
He saw a trace of heartache in Li Jiacheng's eyes.
Indeed, how could a husband bear to see his pregnant wife tied up so securely?
"Weiwei's condition worsened. In the end, I had no choice but to have her tied up, otherwise, she would really have aborted our child," Li Jiacheng said helplessly, his gaze towards Xu Wei filled with pain.
He had also considered aborting Xu Wei's child to save her life more than once.
But he knew that perhaps Weiwei didn't think that way, because he had seen Weiwei's disappointed and regretful expressions whenever she saw other mothers holding their children. If the child were aborted, and they could never have children again, Weiwei would probably be even more heartbroken.
It was for this reason that he resorted to such extreme measures.
"What if the child cannot be saved?" Chen Xuan frowned and asked tentatively.
Li Jiacheng did not hesitate and gritted his teeth, "If the child cannot be saved, I will save the mother!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly and glanced at Li Jiacheng with approval, "Mr. Li, rest assured, I will save both the mother and the child!"
"Mr. Chen, I'm counting on you!" Li Jiacheng's eyes lit up.
If both the child and the mother could be saved, that would naturally be even better.
Chen Xuan walked over and looked at Xu Wei, who was bound to the chair, his eyes showing a hint of pity.
But he never expected that this beautiful woman would now look like neither human nor ghost, completely like a madwoman.
He circled Xu Wei three times, and finally, the expression on his face became extremely fascinating!
Heh, I didn't expect it to be a familiar perpetrator after all!
Moreover, he discovered that if he wasn't mistaken, the extra soul on Grandpa Zheng came from Xu Wei!
He had come to the right place this time!
"Mr. Chen, how is it?"
Seeing Chen Xuan stop his actions, Li Jiacheng couldn't help but ask.
"No problem!"
Chen Xuan said confidently, making an OK gesture.
Li Jiacheng was overjoyed, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Chen."
Just as Chen Xuan was about to start, a cold voice suddenly rang out, "Brother, how is sister-in-law?"
Footsteps sounded, and a group of people walked in from outside. Leading them was a middle-aged man in his thirties, who looked good, but his brows were filled with gloom.
This person was Li Jiacheng's younger brother, Li Jiaming!
"Jiaming? Why are you here?"
Upon seeing Li Jiaming, Li Jiacheng frowned.
He clearly remembered the previous incident where his own brother had tried to make him childless!
After returning from the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province, he had a significant conflict with Li Jiaming, but it was only after much mediation that it subsided. Li Jiaming had also apologized to him and was punished by the Li family.
However, even so, Li Jiacheng had no good feelings towards his brother.
Furthermore, Li Jiacheng strongly suspected that this matter was orchestrated by his brother, Li Jiaming!
