Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 203 - 203 203 Fear

Chapter 203: Chapter 203 Fear Chapter 203: Chapter 203 Fear “Are you guys… okay? Sir, please don’t kill anyone here; otherwise, I’ll really call the police.”

The hotel owner, hearing the commotion, came over.

He looked at Yin Hehe climbing down from the fourth floor and the man who had jumped straight from the second floor.

His expression was indescribably horrified.

Yin Hehe lowered her head and said nothing.

Meanwhile, Sheng Siyuan took out his wallet and handed a stack of bright red bills to the owner.

Owner: “…”

“Okay, okay, you two carry on, just don’t wreck my place, that’s all.”

The owner, now with money in hand, didn’t say another word and scuttled off.

Thus, outside the hotel, only the two of them were left.

The early hours of winter, besides the exceptionally dark night, were also cold enough to make one’s scalp hurt. A gust of icy wind blew, and Yin Hehe, wearing only a thin inner layer, shuddered in the chill.

“Come inside, don’t catch a cold.”

Sheng Siyuan finally broke the silence, suggesting they go inside.

But as soon as he spoke, he watched as the woman shivered again in the darkness, retreating several steps backward.

Man: “…”

Grinding his teeth, he suppressed the anger rising in his chest.

He then lowered his voice and spoke again, “I won’t lay a hand on you again. If you hadn’t infuriated me earlier, would I have done that?”

He even offered an explanation.

However, his tone was far from pleasant.

Yin Hehe, still angry, immediately retorted sarcastically, “Isn’t that just a rabid dog biting people, do you even need to find a reason for its madness?”

“You—”

But the image of the woman jumping down just moments before flashed through his mind, and, in the end, he took a deep breath and held back his anger.

“What exactly do you want? Are we now completely unable to communicate?”

“Hehe~~”

Yin Hehe let out a cold laugh.

“What is there left to communicate?”

“To discuss how to handle the upcoming lawsuit, right?” the man said abruptly, stepping forward in the darkness.

“I know why you’re angry. It’s nothing more than hearing me agree to Jian Zhongzhou in the hospital room to settle this matter. But I did that only because I didn’t want you to face Shangguan Jianying in court.”

He began to reveal his true inner thoughts.

Perhaps the scene earlier had truly frightened him. He was afraid that if he didn’t speak up, with this woman’s fiery temper, he would indeed lose hold of her.

Yin Hehe was indeed taken aback for a moment.

“…Why?”

“Because Shangguan Jianying’s influence is too great. If he were defeated by you, your identity would inevitably be exposed, and then you would be in great danger.

You might not know this, but after the incident in M country, you are now listed on the global black market with a bounty of ten million US dollars, in US dollars!”

In the night, this man revealed a very harsh reality in a very serious and weighty tone.

Yin Hehe was stunned.

She looked at this man and, in just a brief second, a wave of fear quickly climbed up her spine.

She instinctively moved a few steps closer to the man.

“What you said… is that true?”

“Of course. And that doesn’t even include the Tulan Society. So, when Jian Zhongzhou came to me, I chose the lesser of two evils and agreed to his terms.”

The man, hands in his trouser pockets, saw the woman step toward him and nonchalantly strolled to her side.

She didn’t shy away.

In that moment, within the darkness, panic surged within her pupils. She lowered her head, momentarily unable to maintain her usual composure.

“Then… what should we do? I’ve offended quite a few people before, but I’ve never heard about being on any black market list. What do I do now? Can’t this bounty be removed?”

“That’s difficult.”

The man shrugged his shoulders.

“Unless you take on a new identity and let Lan Yi disappear forever,” he tentatively suggested his own idea.

However, no sooner had the words left his mouth than they met with a categorical rejection from this woman.

“That’s impossible!”

“…”

Sheng Siyuan didn’t say anything more.

His mood, however, did lighten somewhat because when they finally returned, the woman took the initiative to sit close to him.

“Sir, would you like me to open another room for you?”

The hotel owner must have sensed their discord and promptly offered to set them up in a new room upon their return.

The response, however, was an immediate sharp look from the man.

“…I… I just remembered we are out of rooms.”

“…”

A few minutes later, the two were back in the room they had just left.

“You sleep on the bed; I’ll just sit in the chair. It’ll be light soon, anyway.”

Upon entering, both felt awkward at the sight of the bed’s disarray, a reminder of what had transpired not long ago.

In the end, it was Sheng Siyuan who took the initiative to claim the chair for sleep.

Yin Hehe didn’t say anything.

However, when she lay down, she still tossed a blanket over to the man.

After that, she fell into a fitful sleep.

The Tulan Society, the underworld forces…

Her sleep that night was restless, her dreams repeatedly filled with images of being hunted down after the threat.

When she finally awoke, drenched in cold sweat, the sun was already high outside.

“Finally awake?”

The man who had been sitting by the window, having smoked several cigarettes, stubbed out the cigarette butt and, brushing off the ash from his clothes, stood up.

“Get ready; it’s time to go.”

“…Where?”

Yin Hehe, who hadn’t slept well, took a moment before asking, tousling her disheveled hair while still in bed.

The man stood calmly before her.

“You choose.”

“…”

Ten seconds passed in silence in the room.

This was essentially a question of whether he would benefit or she would. If they chose to go to the Provincial City, it would clearly be to the man’s advantage as he wouldn’t be under Jian Zhongzhou’s thumb anymore.

Such people wouldn’t help you out of sheer altruism.

But if they chose to return to Jiangbei,

it would be Yin Hehe who gained, as she could avoid the limelight and, thereby, the risk of having her identity uncovered.

Yin Hehe threw back the covers and got up.

“Then let’s go to the Provincial City. I don’t want to owe you a favor. One billion is already troublesome enough,” she said as she headed for the bathroom.

The man left in the room raised his thin lips in a nonchalant smile before quickly heading out.

Not long after, the two left the place.

“If you continue with this lawsuit, how will you explain it to Jian Zhongzhou? I heard he has considerable influence in the capital. Offending him, you won’t end up in a good place, will you?”

As the car headed towards the Provincial City with Yin Hehe sitting in the back, she eventually couldn’t help but ask.

At her words, the man driving casually glanced at the rearview mirror.

“Are you worried about me?”

“…”

Yin Hehe immediately turned to look out the window, showing no interest in continuing the conversation.

But the man in front started to speak on his own, “He hasn’t been happy for more than a day or two. Back when he wanted me to marry his daughter, I didn’t agree, and he’s been displeased ever since.”

“Daughter?”

Yin Hehe immediately turned her gaze back to him.
