Chapter 279 That I really want to kill him! (1)

Ye Zhenting was holding onto the handle of the short knife with a death grip. The blade of the knife was across Ye Zhens neck. He had his other arm tightly holding Ye Zhen against him, keeping her positioned between him and the loan sharks. He looked at the people in front of him and sharply said, So youre all working together!

He was hysterical. Holding Ye Zhen as hostage, he retreated.

The knife was pressed against Ye Zhens neck, but despite the piercing cold touch of the blade, she wasnt that afraid. She was even able to calmly negotiate with Ye Zhenting.

I already said that I dont know them!

Ye Zhen had already vaguely figured it out based on what the loan shark had said. These people probably had a connection with Lu Beichuan. Otherwise, they wouldnt suddenly change their minds to help her deal with Ye Zhenting at the last moment.

It was just that these people were too unreliable!

Ye Zhenting didnt listen to her explanation. He completely treated himself as a victim and sternly said, Ye Zhen, no matter what, Im your dad. Even if Dad wronged you in the past, how can you come up with a plan to trap Dad? How can you treat Dad this way?

I came up with a plan to trap you? What was the trap? Did I force you to gamble, to take out a loan from loan sharks, and kidnap me? Ye Zhen said in a lowered voice, Calm down. Put down the knife. Im not working with them.

Ye Zhen looked at the people in front of them and asked, Who do you work for?

The leader of the group nervously looked at the knife on Ye Zhens neck. He was furious. He cursed Ye Zhenting countless times in his mind.

Mrs. Lu, our boss and Mr. Lu are friends.

Ye Zhen completely figured it out now. She said to Ye Zhenting, Beichuan has been working hard lately over your matter. It seems that he finally found the creditor for your loan. Thats not easy. Do you still want to go to jail for kidnapping and extortion?

When he heard the words go to jail, the hand that was holding the short knife trembled.

Really?

If you dont believe me, ask them if Beichuan settled your loan with them.

The man in the forefront nodded. Ye Zhenting, our boss said that Mr. Lu has already settled the 40 million debt for you. Put down the knife!

Ye Zhentings hands trembled. His gaze was erratic. For a while, he stammered and failed to speak coherently.

In the past few days, he always thought that Ye Zhen as well as the Lus wont give him another cent. Until this moment, he really had the intention of using Ye Zhen to blackmail Lu Beichuan for money.

He had already figured it out. With how much Lu Beichuan cared about Ye Zhen, Lu Beichuan would definitely give him money if he held Ye Zhen for ransom. Once Lu Beichuan gave him the money and he repaid the loan sharks, he would have nothing to be scared of.

As for the criminal charge of kidnapping and extortion he and Ye Zhen were father and daughter. As long as nothing happened to her, if she didnt come to harm and he didnt tie her up, how could it possibly count as kidnapping? And, how could it count as extortion for him to ask his son-in-law for money?

It was completely unexpected that Lu Beichuan had found the boss of the loan sharks and wanted to help resolve this matter for him.

As she felt Ye Zhenting gradually loosening his grip on her, her tense nerves relaxed. She knew that Ye Zhenting had listened to her words.

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Ye Zhenting awkwardly laughed. Zhenzhen ah, Dad was wrong. I misunderstood. Dont be scared.

As he said that, he let go of Ye Zhen.

As soon as she was free from him, Ye Zhen immediately took several steps back and rubbed her neck. To her surprise, she felt a little bit of blood when she touched her neck.
