The last thing he heard from the phone was Taozi’s shout, and then it was hung up.
A Cai felt that something must have happened to Taozi. He stood up in a panic, apologizing as he prepared to leave.
But A Cai had drunk a bit too much. He couldn’t even stand steadily. After all, Cai Yadong had told him to make Ou Yunchen happy tonight and get Ou Yunchen to happily participate in the project.
Unfortunately, A Cai’s alcohol tolerance was no match for Ou Yunchen’s. On several occasions when he stumbled, it was Ou Yunchen who caught him.
Ou Yunchen: “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
A Cai: “I, a friend of mine is in trouble. I need to go to the hospital. I’m sorry, brother, I can’t drink with you tonight.”
Ou Yunchen grabbed A Cai’s arm.
Ou Yunchen: “How are you going to leave like this?”
A Cai: “I’ll call a car.”
Ou Yunchen: “My driver is outside. I’ll take you.”
When the two rushed to the hospital in a hurry, they saw bodyguards from the Wang family forcibly dragging Taozi inside.
A Cai was the first to rush forward, pulling the bodyguards away.
A Cai: “What are you doing? What are you doing! Let her go!”
Bodyguard: “Young Master A Cai, please let go. Miss Taozi is not feeling well, and we are taking her to the hospital for examination.”
No one knew how long Taozi had been crying. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she seemed to move more sluggishly.
Taozi: “No, A Cai, save me. They want to abort my child…”
A Cai was extremely shocked. He thought he had misheard and repeatedly confirmed if Taozi had spoken incorrectly.
Taozi: “This is my child with Wang Ziran. Please, let me go…”
Seeing A Cai stunned, the bodyguards immediately took charge and lifted Taozi again.
A Cai, however, stood stiffly, his mind buzzing as if he could hear nothing.
A Cai: “You’re pregnant with his child…”
No matter how Taozi screamed, A Cai seemed unable to move. A strange voice in his mind even urged him, "Abort the child!"
Ou Yunchen took out his phone and pointed it at the bodyguards holding Taozi.
Ou Yunchen: “Put this girl down, or I’ll call the police.”
The bodyguards stopped, but no one let go. Taozi seemed to find a sliver of hope in this stranger.
Bodyguard: “Do you know whose men we are?”
Ou Yunchen: “I do. No matter how powerful the Wang family is, they can’t openly kidnap a young girl, can they?”
The bodyguards exchanged glances. They were just following orders and would never want to cause extra trouble.
Bodyguard: “This is our task. We hope you can understand.”
Ou Yunchen: “In any case, I have recorded you forcibly dragging the girl into the hospital. You can continue to take the girl in, or I can call the police immediately and let them decide right from wrong.”
Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, the bodyguards had no choice but to release her. If Ou Yunchen really called the police, it would be detrimental to the Wang family.
Taozi was released and immediately ran to A Cai’s side. The bodyguards present could only withdraw temporarily.
However, the bodyguard in charge stared intently at the troublesome Ou Yunchen, vowing to remember his face to report back!
Taozi thought A Cai could protect her, but the drunken A Cai could barely stand on his own. In the end, Taozi had to support A Cai back to Ou Yunchen’s car.
A Cai: “Taozi, I’ll take you home.”
Taozi shook her head frantically.
Taozi: “No, they’ll find me again.”
A Cai: “How could you be so foolish! How could you be so careless!!!”
Taozi: “I love Wang Ziran. I thought if I was pregnant with his child, he would be happy…”
A Cai: “The Wang family will never let you in! Wang Ziran is just playing with you!”
Taozi: “No, Wang Ziran was very good to me! It’s his mother. His mother doesn’t like me…”
A Cai: “You’re too naive! Wang Ziran will only marry a rich lady like Su Ruiyi, and you are just Su Ruiyi’s replacement!”
“If he wanted to marry you and take responsibility for the child in your belly, he wouldn’t have allowed the Wang family to grab you and force you to abort the child!”
Taozi: “He’s not like that!!!”
A Cai: “You!!!”
Seeing the two arguing in the back seat, Ou Yunchen shouted loudly.
Ou Yunchen: “Enough!”
Taozi: “……”
A Cai: “……”
Ou Yunchen: “Now is not the time to argue about whether Wang Ziran is good or bad! The most important thing now is to hide Taozi!”
A Cai: “It will be too easy for the Wang family to find Taozi. I think they will catch Taozi again and force her to abort the child.”
Ou Yunchen: “Exactly. So we need to find a place…”
A Cai: “Go to my place! The Wang family might give my parents some face!”
Ou Yunchen: “No.”
A Cai: “Why?”
Ou Yunchen: “You will ruin your father’s new project.”
A Cai clenched his fist and slammed it onto the seat. Hiding Taozi at his place was indeed not a good idea.
If Cai Yadong wanted to win the bid smoothly, the Wang family had to turn a blind eye. No one wanted to go against those in power.
Ou Yunchen: “It seems we have to go somewhere the Wang family can’t reach.”
A Cai: “Where?”
Ou Yunchen: “Young Master Lan.”
