Hong Kong Nights of Passion

Chapter 102 Will Dr. Chi make me worry?
The journey back to Victoria Peak in the Mid-Levels usually takes less than forty minutes.

We took a long, winding route today, and it took us an hour to finally arrive.

More than a dozen bodyguards stood guard at the entrance of the villa.

As soon as Wen Jinnian and Fu Yiyi got out of the car, Li Mingyi hurriedly said, "I'm going to pick up the young master and the others. You two go back to your room first."

The two waited anxiously in the lobby on the first floor of the villa, not even bothering to wash up. They stared intently at the clock until the first light of dawn appeared outside the window, but Chi Yige and his group still hadn't returned.

Wen Jinian sat on the sofa, getting up several times to rush out the door, but reason held her back.

During this time, Jiang Shu called to inquire about Ping An's safety. She gripped her phone tightly, trying to appear calm: "Everything is fine."

The clock hands turned slowly in the silence until the morning light painted the windowpanes white, and finally the sound of tires rolling over gravel could be heard outside the villa.

The moment the car headlights pierced the thin fog, Wen Jinnian almost stumbled to the door, her eyes fixed on the black sedan that was slowly coming to a stop.

The car door opened, and all of them were in a disheveled state.

When Chi Yige got out of the car, his white shirt was wrinkled beyond recognition, and dark red bloodstains were spreading across the fabric.

Wen Jinian breathed a sigh of relief, her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Compared to Wen Jinnian, Fu Yiyi reacted more violently, screaming and lunging at Chi Yige, but he raised his hand to stop her: "You're dirty, don't touch me."

Wen Jinian opened her mouth, but only smiled and remained silent.

Chi Yige glanced at her pale face and the dark circles under her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's all taken care of, don't worry."

He walked into the villa, casually rolling up his blood-stained sleeve. "I'm going to take a shower first."

The security guards who got off the bus behind them were equally disheveled, their clothes stained with mud and blood. They walked silently toward the basement bathroom, a faint smell of blood still lingering in the air.

Wen Jinnian and Fu Yiyi had some porridge at the restaurant. Fu Yiyi was so sleepy that she kept yawning. She ate a couple of bites and then went upstairs to sleep.

Wen Jinnian asked Linda to pack a breakfast and carried the tray up to the third floor.

She knocked lightly on the door, and after receiving a response, she pushed the door open and entered.

Chi Yige had just finished showering and was casually drying his hair with a towel.

She placed the breakfast on the table, and as she turned around, a pair of strong arms suddenly wrapped around her waist.

Chi Yige buried his head in the crook of her shoulder, his warm breath brushing against her neck: "Did I make you worry?"

The familiar scent lingered around her nose. Wen Jinnian struggled to turn around, but was held even tighter.

Will Dr. Chi make me worry?

Her voice sounded muffled.

Chi Yige chuckled softly, nuzzling her head with his chin: "See, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Wen Jinnian's nose stung with tears, but she forced herself to say, "Go eat quickly, I'm sleepy, I want to take a shower and rest."

Chi Yige released her arm, but suddenly leaned down, his nose lightly brushing against hers, and then gave her a light kiss on the lips before reluctantly letting her go.

Wen Jinnian was completely unaware when Chi Yige lay down next to her.

In her hazy state of consciousness, she instinctively moved toward the familiar source of warmth, snuggling into the safe embrace of that arm.

Chi Yige pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back repeatedly. He glanced down at his phone screen, then casually pressed the power button to shut her out the outside world.

Wen Jinnian slept soundly until five o'clock in the afternoon. When she opened her eyes, the bed next to her was empty, but when she reached out, there was still some residual warmth.

She stretched lazily and got up. After washing up, she went downstairs and saw Fu Yiyi sitting at the dining table with her legs crossed, happily munching on cherries.

"Niannian, big news! Big news!"

When Fu Yiyi saw her come down, her eyes lit up. "That child, Zhou Shiyi, isn't your brother's at all! The Jiang family and the Zhou family are breaking off the engagement!"

Wen Jinian frowned slightly: "So fast?" "Your brother, you could say he's a real jerk, but he's incredibly good to you..."

Fu Yiyi clicked her tongue, but before she could finish speaking, Wen Jinnian glared at her.

"Don't talk nonsense." She looked around. "Where's your brother?"

"They've been busy for a while now."

Wen Jinian popped a cherry into her mouth.

Fu Yiyi leaned closer: "We're having a team-building event in a few days, you're treating!"

“Okay,” Wen Jinnian replied with a smile.

In the basement of the back garden of Victoria Peak Estate, dim lighting cast dappled shadows on the walls.

Li Mingyi dragged over a chair, and Chi Yige took off his coat and sat down, his eyes fixed on the several people who were tied up and kneeling on the ground in front of him.

"I've really had enough of this lately." Shen Yu stepped out from the shadows, his suit jacket still dusty from the creases, his tie hanging askew around his neck. "I'm like a thief all the time."

He pulled up a chair and sat down next to Chi Yige, wiping his face with his hand. "Finally, there's a result."

The people kneeling on the ground were tightly bound with ropes. When they saw Shen Yu appear, their eyes were filled with terror, and they could only whimper because of the rags stuffed in their mouths.

Seeing this, Li Mingyi stepped forward and ripped the gag out of one of the men's mouths.

"You, you dare to betray us?!" the man roared, panting heavily.

Shen Yu shrugged lazily, flicking the dust off his cuff with his fingertips: "Betrayal? If it weren't for infiltrating your shady rat den, who would willingly stay in the gutter for so long?"

He curled his lips into a smirk, his eyes chillingly cold. "Now, it's time to talk about the gang leader behind you."

"Enough with the nonsense, who ordered this?" Shen Yu asked coldly.

The man whose cloth had been ripped off flinched, but tried to remain calm: "We just saw you eating at a food stall and dressed... dressed like rich people, so we wanted to rob you!"

"Robbery? You dare to mess with the port district's heir? You have pretty good eyesight."

Shen Yu sneered and raised his hand to the bodyguard behind him.

A bodyguard slammed a stack of documents in front of the man, the photos clearly documenting their gang's activities: "Gang strongholds, transaction records... we have everything clearly documented. Tell me, who bribed you?"

Chi Yige lowered his crossed legs, leaned forward, and stared at the man on the ground with a gaze as sharp as a knife, making the man tremble all over.

"Your Highness, we really didn't know! If we had known your identity, we wouldn't have dared to do it even if we had ten lives."

"Your target is Wen Jinian."

The man flinched, shaking his head with evasive eyes.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."

Chi Yige said coldly.

When Li Mingyi stepped forward with the whip in hand, the man, remembering the bloodied and mangled back he had suffered the previous night, instantly broke down: "I'll tell you! It was... it was a prostitute who ordered it! She can do whatever she wants in the port area, letting us... letting us do whatever we want..."

Chi Yige raised his chin, signaling the man to continue, his voice as cold as ice: "Name."

"I knew she was pretty, and her surname is Qin... Oh, right! She said she's your future young mistress of the Chi family!"

Chi Yige chuckled and tapped his knee with his fingertip: "When did I get a young mistress?"

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow and whistled: "Damn, could it be that your uncle has arranged another marriage for you?"

Chi Yige glanced at him sideways, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Want it or not?"

Shen Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, please, I can't accept that."
