Last Love chapter 116
Wen Ke finally leaned against the wall and slowly stood up. His face was pale, but there was a peculiar gleam in his eyes.
Looking at Fu Xiaoyu and Xu Jiale, he said word by word, “I need to go and find Han Jiangque back.”
“Okay,” Fu Xiaoyu also stood up.
“Xiaoyu,” the air in the old warehouse was a bit stifling. Wen Ke took a deep breath, suddenly pressed Fu Xiaoyu’s shoulder, although he was not as tall as Fu Xiaoyu, this posture was decisive, “Believe me, regarding Zhuo Yuan’s matter, I will give you an explanation. I won’t let you suffer for nothing.”
“Wen Ke, bring back Han Jiangque first,” Xu Jiale also spoke, “As for Zhuo Yuan’s matter—when you come back, we will solve it together.”
Although his tone was calm, a deep and dark color flashed in his slender eyes beneath the lenses.
Interestingly, Fu Xiaoyu, on the side, nodded silently.
Surprisingly, Fu Xiaoyu, in the face of Zhuo Yuan’s schemes, remained unusually calm.
Or rather, instead of saying he was calm, it was more like his expression carried a sense of absent-mindedness.
As if he didn’t put all his thoughts into such a big matter, but rather was contemplating something.
For him, this was a rare state.
Before the three left B university to go home, Fu Xiaoyu quietly reminded Wen Ke outside the car, “Bodyguards the likes of Jiang Chao are rare in the Han family. Originally, the Han family wanted to send someone to protect Han Jiangque, but he refused because he practices boxing himself, so he always thought it was unnecessary. This time, he made an exception to bring Jiang Chao over by his side. It’s not easy, he must have been worried that Zhuo Yuan would come to trouble you. Wherever you go now, make sure to take Jiang Chao with you.”
Xu Jiale also whispered, “I know about Zhuo Yuan’s family business. It involves not only connections with government departments but also a lot of disputes and under-the-table dealings on construction sites, embezzlement of wages, all of which are deeply rooted in the gray area. His father must have done things, and he can’t be unaware of them. These are things that someone like you, engaged in legitimate emerging industries, might find it hard to imagine. He can pull off something like this once, and he might decide to do it a second time. Wen Ke, you have to be extra careful, contact me anytime if anything happens.”
“I understand.”
At that moment, Wen Ke’s expression became very serious.
He understood Xu Jiale’s implication.
Beneath the seemingly glamorous facade of the rich young master, Zhuo Yuan was actually a hidden and unscrupulous criminal – his actions validated this point. Trying to forcefully mark an Omega who is pregnant was a criminal act.
And surprisingly, Wen Ke hadn’t noticed it before.
He knew about Zhuo Yuan’s plot against his own family but interpreted it as despicable and selfish. The long years of marriage life had dulled his response to the danger of Zhuo Yuan.
In fact, Zhuo Yuan not only was accustomed to criminal activities, but he also had the ability and willingness to do so.
At that moment, Wen Ke couldn’t help but feel a shiver down his spine.
…
On the way home, he tried to call Han Jiangque again, but his phone was now turned off.
This abnormal resistance made him extremely anxious. He held the phone tightly in his palm, fearing to miss any slightest movement.
The weather was also unusual.
B City experienced an unprecedented heavy snowfall all day today.
Under the snow-laden winter clouds, the whole day was gloomy. At night, the entire street seemed to be frozen, and on both sides of the road, you could see traces of broken tree branches under the weight of heavy snow.
In the midst of the snowfall, occasional hailstones hit the car Jiang Chao was driving him in with a “plop,” making their nerves tense.
Just before the crossroads less than three hundred meters from Sega, Wen Ke suddenly saw a familiar black Mercedes-Benz in the rearview mirror—
He stared at the car for a moment, then turned to Jiang Chao and said, “It’s Zhuo Yuan’s car.”
“I saw it. He just caught up from behind.”
Holding the steering wheel steadily, Jiang Chao said calmly, “Zhuo Yuan driving his own car actually means there’s nothing serious. If he were driving an unfamiliar car, that would be dangerous.”
While the two were talking, the black Mercedes-Benz behind them accelerated and caught up from the side, running parallel to Wen Ke’s Audi. Wen Ke straightened his body, his expression becoming guarded.
Zhuo Yuan was driving very slowly, but due to being too close and following their every move, it gave a very oppressive feeling. The driver’s side window of the Mercedes was lowered, revealing Zhuo Yuan’s gloomy face.
He picked up his phone and placed it to his ear while still driving, then stared at Wen Ke fixedly, the meaning behind his gaze obvious.
Wen Ke silently picked up his phone, opened the blacklist where Zhuo Yuan had been placed, and answered the call, “Hello?”
“Wen Ke, you finally decided to answer my call?”
Zhuo Yuan’s voice sounded, “You’re a busy man now. By the way, I saw your name in the news today. They said your app will be launched tomorrow afternoon, quite a grand event—also holding a press conference on the peninsula? You’re about to become a successful man, right?”
Wen Ke didn’t respond, just listened.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?!” Zhuo Yuan suddenly raised his voice, “Wen Ke, you and Han Jiangque, one wants to completely ruin my dad, and the other deliberately took the opportunity from Blue Rain in front of me to make a fortune—do you want my family to perish? Damn it, say something!”
The two black cars continued to move forward side by side in the deserted night street. Wen Ke held the phone expressionlessly, watching Zhuo Yuan in the other car through the window.
In Zhuo Yuan’s bloodshot eyes, with a hint of blue stubble on his chin, he stared at Wen Ke, ranting.
Ironically, the last time, he was begging for mercy, repeatedly saying “I’m sorry,” but this time, he completely gave up his manners, swearing all the way.
Sometimes, the two extreme facets people show are truly unimaginable, but in fact, they are fueled by the same thing—
When cursing, it’s resentment; when begging, it’s still resentment; and when drugging and harming others, it’s even more resentment.
Zhuo Yuan was a person with a very evil heart.
Wen Ke felt unusually clear-headed like never before.
He also opened the car window. As the cold wind blew in, he stared directly at Zhuo Yuan, saying, “Zhuo Yuan, your lifelong failure lies in the fact that from childhood to adulthood—you are someone who can’t accept defeat.”
This evaluation was not only direct but also sharp.
These words came from Wen Ke’s mouth, and for a moment, Zhuo Yuan couldn’t help but be stunned.
“In the matter of infidelity in the marriage, you never genuinely felt sorry. In high school, cheating led to me dropping out, and you happily went abroad for university. Your company’s wrong decisions, years of losses, all borne by the family, and you still feel entitled to Blue Rain’s opportunities. All of this is because your parents never wanted you to take responsibility for your mistakes. You are selfish to the extreme.”
“Life is not that easy; every choice comes with a cost. The things your parents did for their own benefit, sacrificing others without hesitation. Hiding it doesn’t absolve you from responsibility. This time, Han Jiangque and I will make sure you pay the price.”
Even Zhuo Yuan felt the difference in Wen Ke’s tone compared to before.
Wen Ke had always been evasive. Even after the divorce, when Zhuo Yuan entangled him a few times, Wen Ke just quickly turned away, as if his life no longer included him.
But this time, facing Zhuo Yuan, in his warm brown eyes, there was finally a naked blade-like hatred.
They stopped at another red light, both cars braking at the intersection.
“Wen Ke, let me tell you, no matter what, if it’s hidden, it’s hidden. If no one knows, you can’t do anything to me. Don’t fucking try to intimidate me.”
Zhuo Yuan’s eyes turned green at the bottom, and his expression was almost frantic as he spoke slowly, “I came here today to warn you. If Han Jiangque stops immediately, everything can still be salvaged and I’ll let you both off. Do you understand? Don’t push me any further.”
Wen Ke didn’t say anything, just silently pressed the button to raise the car window.
The incessant hysterical curses from Zhuo Yuan continued to come through the phone: “do you hear me? Wen Ke? Wen Ke! I’m fucking telling you—”
Wen Ke directly hung up the phone.
Jiang Chao turned to look at him, and when the green light came on, he stepped on the gas. However, Zhuo Yuan’s Mercedes didn’t catch up; it just stopped in the heavy snow.
“Jiang Chao, can you really not reach Han Jiangque?”
Wen Ke looked at the rearview mirror, asking calmly.
“Yes.”
“I don’t believe it.”
Wen Ke suddenly said, “If Zhuo Yuan suddenly goes crazy today and hurts me, can you really not contact Han Jiangque? That’s impossible.”
He had asked Jiang Chao this question before, but last time, he didn’t truly corner Jiang Chao. He understood that Jiang Chao was just an employee, and if Han Jiangque didn’t allow him to speak, pressuring Jiang Chao would be difficult. So he tried to avoid doing that.
But now he couldn’t care less because he couldn’t help worrying about Han Jiangque’s safety.
Jiang Chao remained silent for a while before finally saying, “I really can’t contact him. But people like us in this line of work always have contingencies. If I can’t reach Han Jiangque, I’ll contact his third brother. The security system inside the Han family is managed by his third brother, Han Zhaoyu, and this time, when Han Jiangque deployed people, it was also through his third brother.”
“Then help me contact Han Jiangque’s third brother now.”
Wen Ke said decisively.
