Chapter 49: Chapter 49 She Got Annoyed
Sheng Shaochen saw she wasn’t talking, and a slight frown formed between his brows.
He walked all the way to the car, opened the door, and placed her in the passenger seat.
He personally buckled her seatbelt for her.
He thought that a woman as delicate and good at disguising her feelings as she was shouldn’t be easily angered by anything.
Yet, to his surprise, she cared so much about her little brother.
This reminded him of his own brother who had been lost to him for many years.
...
A tender sense of sympathy welled up in Sheng Shaochen’s heart, and he reached out to ruffle Ye Shu’s hair.
She turned her face away, leaning coldly against the back of her seat, sulking.
Sheng Shaochen felt as though he had inadvertently annoyed his beloved pet, and his heart overflowed with ineffable warmth.
He gave an embarrassed smile, withdrew his hand, closed the car door, and then took the driver’s seat himself. He dialed Guan Jiu’s cellphone and pressed speakerphone, “Location!”
“Eastern City Three Rivers Crossing Mountain Road.”
“Wait there for me!” Sheng Shaochen said and immediately started the car.
“I’m afraid I can’t wait, I’ll send you a real-time location.”
“What’s going on?” The tires screeched against the pavement, and the car barely stopped!
“Just as I was going to pick up Young Master Ye at the police station, a gang of bikers came and kidnapped him…”
“What did you say? Zifeng was kidnapped? Who did it? Is he hurt?” Ye Shu, who had been sulking in the passenger seat, became instantly tense when she heard Guan Jiu say that Ye Zifeng had been taken.
She snatched Sheng Shaochen’s cellphone, “Speak, speak!”
Guan Jiu on the other end of the phone was taken aback, about to speak, when suddenly a sound of emergency braking came through the receiver.
The next second, there was a clamor of motor vehicles roaring, mixed with chaotic shouting and the sound of furious smashing.
“Hello, hello…” Ye Shu was so anxious that her fingertips trembled, her face so pale it was devoid of all color.
Her panicked demeanor was a stark contrast to her usual composed self.
Sheng Shaochen’s brows knitted together as he reached out to take the phone from her to assess the situation.
But she suddenly yelled at him, “Drive, just drive!”
Sheng Shaochen frowned and, as he started the car, said, “Check if Guan Jiu has sent the location yet.”
Only then did Ye Shu shakily lower the phone from her ear, her trembling fingertips touching the screen.
Tears rolled down from her eyes, dropping one by one onto the screen.
“No, no location! Sheng Shaochen, what do we do now?”

Her raised face was full of tears, making her look like a soulless puppet.
That image deeply pierced Sheng Shaochen’s eyes.
It reminded him of the tragedy he faced at the age of 7 when he became permanently separated from his brother.
Guilt surged in Sheng Shaochen’s heart, layer upon layer.
He reached out to take the phone clutched in her palm and dialed several numbers one after another, issuing orders in an organized manner.
Beneath the lights, the lines of his face were tense, his calm composure shined brightly.
For a moment, Ye Shu was dazed.
It seemed as if she had seen him like this somewhere before, but she couldn’t remember.
He put down the phone and placed it in her hand, “We’re heading to Eastern City Three Rivers Crossing Mountain Road first. We’ll get the precise location soon. Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to your brother!”
Ye Shu held the phone, still warm from his touch, lost in a daze.
His magnetic voice rang out again, “Hold tight!”
What followed was a strong sense of being pushed back as the car sped towards Eastern City.
