Chen Yucheng quickly said, “President Gu, I didn’t say anything. You don’t need to stare at me like that.”
Gu Jingze glared forcefully at him and then said to Lin Che, “He’s full of nonsense these days. Let’s go. Just ignore him.”
As he spoke, Gu Jingze put his hand around Lin Che’s shoulders.
At this moment, Chen Yucheng’s phone rang. Lin Che turned her head and Chen Yucheng said to Gu Jingze, “It’s not that I want to pick up phone calls, President Gu. I’m aware that I’m not supposed to take any calls during work hours, but this is Shen Youran’s call. Can I answer it?”
Seeing that it was Lin Che’s friend, Gu Jingze rolled his eyes and silently consented.
Chen Yucheng smiled and thought, Indeed, when it comes to Lin Che’s matters, he is much more relaxed.
Chen Yucheng picked up the call.
“What is it now?”
“What? Your sister?’
Chen Yucheng’s expression changed.
Lin Che quickly stepped forward, “What happened?”
Chen Yucheng put down the phone and said, “Shen Youran’s sister got into trouble.”
—
Shen Youran didn’t expect Shen Youlan to owe more than 100,000 and get taken away now.
This Shen Youlan had always been spoiled at home. She was fed and served well. She already got everything she wanted as long as it was within the family’s means, but now, she still…
Lin Che and Chen Yucheng quickly rushed over.
Looking at Lin Che, Shen Youran ran to her, “How come you’re here too?”
Lin Che said, “Doctor Chen happened to be at my place. Why didn’t you tell me that your sister got into trouble?”
“I… I didn’t want to trouble you. You already have so much on your plate and your movie is picking up pace.”
Lin Che patted her shoulder, “Okay. Tell us what is going on and what exactly happened first.”
Shen Youran said anxiously, “I suddenly received a call from home telling me that Shen Youlan was taken away. Those people claimed to be from the usury. I don’t know when Shen Youlan borrowed a few hundred thousands from them. My family doesn’t know how to repay the money now, so they could only call me.”
“A few hundred thousand?” Lin Che knew that this sum was not a small amount to an ordinary family.
Furthermore, Shen Youlan was just a student. Why would she borrow so much money?
Shen Youran said, “Exactly. I’m really depressed now. I don’t know how she could be so brazen. I really want to just leave her be and figure out how to repay the money on her own. This is so annoying.”
“Alright, if you don’t care, what will your parents do? Let’s see what we can do about it now.”
“Usury is illegal, to begin with. Maybe I should make a police report,” Shen Youran said.
But Chen Yucheng stopped Shen Youran, “Enough. If you go to the police now, what if they do something bad to your sister? What would you do then?”
“Then…”
“Give me your phone. I’ll handle it,” Chen Yucheng reached out and took her phone.
Chen Yucheng took the phone, looked at the number, and made a call. He instructed the person on the other side, “Please check this number and the common area it is used in. See who exactly these guys are to be brazen enough to simply take someone away.”
He put down the phone and said to Shen Youran, “These kinds of people who can simply take someone away must have some kind of background. In C Nation, there are not many usuries who have such power and can take people away like that. Just wait. We’ll know the details of these guys soon enough.”
Shen Youran nodded, “I’m not particularly anxious either. They just want money and my mother will repay the money and get Shen Youlan back no matter what it takes. But I’m really angry to the point that I simply don’t want to care about this anymore. I’m only worried about how my parents will deal with it if anything happens to her during this period.”
Lin Che comforted her, “Okay, don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”
She stole glances at Chen Yucheng and then at Shen Youran.
Once Chen Yucheng went out to continue making calls, Lin Che then lowered her voice and looked at Shen Youran, “Hey, tell me. What is going on between you and Doctor Chen?”
Shen Youran froze, “What… What do you mean?”
“Come on, are you still trying to lie to me? There is definitely something between you and Doctor Chen. Something cropped up on your end and you chose to call Doctor Chen instead of me. Quick, tell me. What exactly is going on between you two?”
“I… I…” Shen Youran’s face was bright red as she appeared stumped and unsure of what to say.
“Hurry up. Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist. If you’re not going to tell me, I’m going to ask Doctor Chen,” she said and pretended to get up.
Shen Youran pulled her down anxiously, “Fine fine, I’ll say it.”
Shen Youran’s hand circled, “I have recently been working with him often. I was initially working at Gu Industries. And then gradually, he told me that I’m very capable in this aspect. He hoped that I would become his a.s.sistant.”
“Ah, so have you left Gu Industries then?”
“Not yet. It’s just that I’ve gone on work trips with him and saw some psychology study cases. We even helped conduct psychological research on criminals and things like that. Anyway, we’re basically working together every day.”
“Wow, you’re actually so close now… Even I’m getting jealous,” Lin Che pouted her lips and said.
“Okay, anyway, I also thought from the beginning that he was just a superior with a poisonous tongue. He was so annoying and always making me do this and that every day. But after working with him, I realized that he’s actually very capable. He’s a good doctor who is well-respected in his field and a national expert in all kinds of mental illness. Many people see him as a legend and I also learned a lot by working with him. Even though I’m just barely scratching the surface, it already makes me feel very happy.”
“Right. I also thought that he’s actually rather good to you. Honestly, I didn’t expect you to work with Doctor Chen from the moment you entered Gu Industries.”
Shen Youran said, “Actually, besides Chen Yucheng being a little too withdrawn, sharp-tongued, foul-mouthed and troublesome, he’s alright in other areas. But we just have this work relations.h.i.+p. Please don’t let your mind wander and if you really ask… I’ll be so embarra.s.sed.”
Lin Che rarely saw Shen Youran look so dainty. She laughed and leaned on Shen Youran, “Fine fine fine, I won’t ask. But you’re with him every day, hehe. You might become his favorite person…”
“Okay, get lost. Stop talking.” Chen Yucheng was back and Shen Youran hurriedly stopped Lin Che.
Lin Che pressed her lips together and sn.i.g.g.e.red, not saying anything else.
Chen Yucheng’s expression was grave. He looked at the two of them and said, “We identified them. Sure enough, it’s those guys.”
Shen Youran looked up, “Who?”
“C Nation’s notorious Green Party. It’s an underworld gang. They commit all kinds of crimes, but because they are very sly, it’s difficult to govern them.”
“Ah, what are we going to do then?”
Chen Yucheng said, “Don’t worry for now. I’ve called an inspector whom I’m familiar with. Some others are also going to take a look. We’ll hear from them soon. Your sister was most likely taken to an underground warehouse and it’s not the first time they’ve kept someone there. But I have to tell you something first.”
