Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 221 - 221 221 She Regretted It

Chapter 221: Chapter 221 She Regretted It Chapter 221: Chapter 221 She Regretted It Yin Hehe awoke again to find herself confined to a very small room.

There were no windows, save for an exhaust vent above, and the suspended incandescent bulb overhead was so bright that it made her eyes ache.

“You’re finally awake?”

Just as her still-groggy mind was trying to figure out what this place was—

That’s when a sinister female voice emerged in the room.

Yin Hehe immediately locked her gaze onto this person.

“Is that you, Madam?”

“Yes!”

The Madam, dressed lavishly but with her face covered by a black Tais, slowly walked out of the darkness like a ghost.

“Lan Youjia, you didn’t expect this, did you? Coming here, you still can’t escape from the palm of my hand.”

She stepped towards Yin Hehe, speaking through gritted teeth with hatred.

Lan Youjia was the name Lan Yi had at home before.

Later, after she went to study, she thought the name was too casual and chose Lan Yi for herself.

Yin Hehe observed the woman.

“Madam, what are you doing? I’m just trying to protect myself, surely you don’t need to show such hostility toward me?”

She wasn’t as panicked as one might expect, but rather felt confused at realizing who was behind this.

Indeed, it was true.

In the Tulan Society, Lan Yi’s mother never posed a threat to anyone, and Lan Yi even less so.

So why had the legitimate wife suddenly taken such drastic measures against her?

“Hehe, not needed?”

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the legitimate wife revealed a thick layer of sarcasm at once.

“You weren’t needed in the past, but now, you’re really capable, aren’t you? With one sentence you’re aiming for the position of the heir to Tulan Society, and you dare say I don’t need to?”

“…”

“Let me tell you, Lan Youjia, as long as I, the Madam, am here, a bastard born from a stray, like you, will never become the heir to Tulan Society!”

She spat out the words, brimming with loathing.

Her face seethed with rage, as if she wanted to rip Yin Hehe into shreds right there.

Yin Hehe understood what was going on upon hearing this.

Immediately, she pursed her lips, braced herself against the wall, and slowly climbed to her feet.

“Madam, believe it or not, I truly have no such intentions. I’m doing this only to escape,” she said sincerely to the legitimate wife.

“Escape?”

“Yes. I made a deal with father: if I help him succeed, he won’t force me to marry his dim-witted son. That’s all I’m asking for.”

Yin Hehe stood up and looked the legitimate wife squarely in the eye as she spoke earnestly.

She definitely wasn’t coveting the position of heir to the Tulan Society.

After all, she wasn’t the real Lan Yi. Why would she want that? All she wanted now, was to gain Lan Cuo’s trust.

And then find an opportunity to make her escape.

Luckily, after saying this, the legitimate wife seemed to soften a bit.

“Is what you’re saying true?”

“Of course it is,” Yin Hehe nodded immediately.

“Madam, if you don’t believe me, I can swear to you right now. And, Madam, the business I’m doing with father is of utmost importance—if you kill me and mess it up, he won’t let you off.”

Yin Hehe administered the final strong dose to the woman.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, her complexion changed, and her attitude clearly wasn’t as rigid.

“You just wait here for me!”

That was all she left Yin Hehe with before she hurried out.

Seeing this, Yin Hehe knew she must have gone to consult with someone; so, she wasn’t anxious and found a chair to sit down in the room.

What was the time now?

And where was this place? Did Lan Cuo know she was missing? Would he come to find her?

Her mind was a whirl with these questions.

Yet, she couldn’t deny that at this moment, she had calmed down quite a bit, and the fear from being drugged had also dissipated.

She hadn’t expected that when she had been waiting for almost twenty minutes and this door was opened again, the ones who came in turned out to be two strange men she had never met before.

“What… what are you going to do?” she asked.

“What are we going to do?”

To her horror, the two men even flashed a sinister smile.

“Miss Second Young Lady, the madam said that the things you just mentioned are unfounded and that you need to show a bit of sincerity for us to believe them,” they said.

“What kind of sincerity?” she asked.

Yin Hehe sensed danger and immediately got up to back away.

But the room was only so big; where could she possibly retreat to? It was a matter of merely two or three steps.

Before she knew it, the two men had cornered her.

“It’s, of course, this!”

They pinned her down, and before long, they actually took out a syringe from their person. And inside the syringe, there was a clear liquid.

Yin Hehe: “!!!!”

Almost instantly, all her blood felt as if it had frozen inside her body, turning her as pale as a dead person.

“Get away from me! You bunch of animals, don’t touch me, get out!”

She finally lost her composure.

Screaming frantically in front of the two men, she desperately tried to escape to the side.

She was a lawyer, how could she not be aware of what this was!

She finally felt a fear she had never known before.

However, these people didn’t let her get away. Seeing her attempt to escape, they simply reached out and grabbed her.

Instantly, she was like a chick caught in the talons of an eagle.

She could struggle no more.

“Miss Second Young Lady, why are you running? Isn’t this what you asked for? Hahaha…”

Their maniacal, ghastly laughter made the room seem like hell at that moment.

Yin Hehe’s eyes turned blood red!

She struggled fiercely, screamed, called for help…

And at last, she pleaded desperately with the two men, hoping they would spare her.

But it was no use.

The sharp needle eventually pierced her arm.

“No—”

She cried out miserably.

In that moment, she finally regretted that she should not have left Jiangbei, and even more so, she should not have naively thought that staying away from that man was more important than her life!

“Sheng Siyuan…”

As she lost consciousness, the name she cried out with her completely hoarse voice was this one.

—

Southeast Asia, airport.

By the time Sheng Siyuan arrived here on a private plane, it was the early hours of the third day.

This place wasn’t like the United States; entering the country still required some formalities.

So it had been delayed by a day.

“Mr. President, we’ve found out that the Tulan Society’s Second Young Lady indeed returned,” reported Xu Guannan as soon as they disembarked from the plane.

Sheng Siyuan, who hadn’t slept for two days and nights, immediately took his assistant’s phone when he heard this news.

“Is the Second Young Lady Lan Yi?”

“Yes, Lan Cuo has four women in total. Besides his legal wife who he married properly, the other three were women he brought back. Lan Yi’s mother used to be a croupier in the gambling city of Southeast Asia. She caught Lan Cuo’s eye, and after he brought her back, she gave birth to Lan Yi,” Xu Guannan briefly explained.

This was indeed the true background of Lan Yi. The Tulan Society, a crime syndicate in Southeast Asia that struck fear into people’s hearts. Who could have imagined that the private life of its leader was so disorderly?

Sheng Siyuan got into the car.

“Where is she now?”

As the car door closed, that was his first question.
