Chapter 943 Ahead
The black-clad men were well-trained and quickly controlled everyone in the room. Jiang Mubai was frightened and pale, tightly grasping Cheng Yunchuan's arm. Cheng Yunchuan had a gloomy face and stared coldly at the black-clad men in the lead.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and intimidating.
The leader of the men in black sneered, "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that someone wants to invite the two of you to come."
"Who?"
"You'll know when you get there." The leader of the men in black waved his hand, and two men in black stepped forward and lifted up Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai without saying a word.
Lin Wan held the child in her arms and watched the scene in horror, but she did not dare to step forward to stop it. She knew that these people were sent by Cheng's father.
Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai were taken to a luxurious villa. The villa was brightly lit and luxuriously decorated, showing the owner's power and status everywhere.
Father Cheng sat on the leather sofa with a glass of red wine in his hand, looking at Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai who were brought in with a cold expression.
"Dad, what do you mean?" Cheng Yunchuan asked in a cold tone.
Father Cheng put down his wine glass, slowly stood up, walked to Cheng Yunchuan, and slapped him in the face.
"Pa!" The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the empty villa.
Jiang Mubai exclaimed and tried to move forward, but was stopped by the man in black.
Cheng Yunchuan was hit so hard that his head tilted to one side, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He raised his head, his eyes full of anger and indomitable spirit.
"You hit me?"
Father Cheng sneered, "I'm going to hit you! You've thrown away the Cheng family's reputation just for an actor!"
"Jiang Mubai is not an actor!" Cheng Yunchuan roared, "She is my wife and the mother of my child!"
"Wife? Mother?" Father Cheng said as if he had heard a joke. "Do you think I will acknowledge her? A woman of unknown origin is worthy of entering the Cheng family?"
"I love her, that's enough!"
"Love?" Father Cheng sneered disdainfully, "Childish! Do you think love can make a living? Can it solve problems? I tell you, in this world, only power and money are the most important!"
Father Cheng walked up to Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of disgust and contempt. "You'd better be smart and leave Yunchuan on your own initiative. Otherwise, I will make you regret coming into this world!"
Jiang Mubai met Cheng's father's gaze without fear, "I won't leave Yunchuan. Unless he tells me to leave."
Cheng's father was angered by her attitude and raised his hand to hit her.
Seeing this, Cheng Yunchuan suddenly broke free from the man in black and stood in front of Jiang Mubai.
"You dare to touch her!"
Father Cheng's hand stopped in mid-air, staring at Cheng Yunchuan with sinister eyes. "How dare you disobey me for this woman?"
"I told you, she's my wife!"
"Good! Very good!" Father Cheng laughed in anger, "Since you are so disobedient, don't blame me for being rude!"
He turned around and said to the man in black behind him: "Lock them up! No one is allowed to let them out without my permission!"
Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai were locked up in a dark and damp basement. There was only a shabby bed and a dirty toilet in the basement. The air was filled with the stench of mold and rats.
Jiang Mubai leaned tightly in Cheng Yunchuan's arms, trembling.
"Yunchuan, I'm so scared..."
Cheng Yunchuan hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
His voice was low and firm, as if giving her strength.
Suddenly, the basement door opened and a scantily clad woman walked in.
The woman twisted her waist, walked in front of Cheng Yunchuan, and looked at him with seductive eyes.
"Master Cheng, it's so boring to be alone, why don't you let me accompany you..."
As the woman spoke, she reached out to untie Cheng Yunchuan's clothes.
Seeing this, Jiang Mubai pushed the woman away and yelled, "Get out of here! Don't touch him!"
The woman staggered and almost fell down. After she stood firm, she looked at Jiang Mubai with resentment.
"You stinky bitch, you dare to push me?"
As the woman spoke, she raised her hand to hit Jiang Mubai.
Cheng Yunchuan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the woman's wrist and twisted it hard.
"Ah!" The woman screamed and squatted on the ground, covering her wrist in pain.
"You..." The woman raised her head and glared at Jiang Mubai fiercely, "Just wait for me!"
After saying that, the woman limped out of the basement.
Jiang Mubai then realized that her hands were shaking. She held Cheng Yunchuan's arm tightly, as if this was the only way to feel safe.
"Yunchuan, what should we do?" Jiang Mubai's voice was tinged with tears.
Cheng Yunchuan gently stroked her hair and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
His voice was low and gentle, like a bright light in the darkness, illuminating Jiang Mubai's heart.
Suddenly, the basement door was opened again and Cheng's father walked in.
"It seems like you are living well here." Father Cheng said with a sneer.
"Dad, what exactly do you want?" Cheng Yunchuan asked coldly.
"What do I want?" Cheng's father walked up to Cheng Yunchuan and looked down at him. "I want you to understand that in this world, only power and money are the most important! Love? Family affection? That's all bullshit!"
As Mr. Cheng spoke, he took out a check from his pocket and threw it in front of Cheng Yunchuan.
"This is one million. Take it and leave Jiang Mubai. I will pretend that nothing happened."
Cheng Yunchuan glanced at the check, then raised his head and looked at Cheng's father with firm eyes.
"I said, she is my wife and the mother of my children. I will not leave her."
"You!" Cheng's father was angered by Cheng Yunchuan's attitude. He raised his hand and slapped Cheng Yunchuan hard.
"Snapped!"
Cheng Yunchuan was beaten so hard that blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, but he still stood there stubbornly, refusing to surrender.
Seeing this, Jiang Mubai started crying out of heartache.
"Yunchuan..."
"Don't cry." Cheng Yunchuan gently wiped away Jiang Mubai's tears and said softly, "I'm fine."
Father Cheng looked at Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Well, since you guys are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying this, Father Cheng turned around and left the basement.
The door of the basement was closed again, and darkness and dampness once again enveloped Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai hugged Cheng Yunchuan tightly, his clothes soaked with tears.
"Yunchuan, I'm scared..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Cheng Yunchuan hugged Jiang Mubai tightly and whispered in her ear, "I will always be with you and protect you."
His voice was low and firm, like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating the road ahead for Jiang Mubai.
Suddenly, Jiang Mubai felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
"Ah!" Jiang Mubai couldn't help but scream.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Yunchuan asked nervously.
