Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

The car wobbled and swayed.

Cheng Xihe did not untie the rope binding his hands, but listened to the sounds around him as the carriage swayed.

She could vaguely sense that there were four or five people in the vehicle, and the seats were very rough; it must have been a van.

"Boss, are these the two we kidnapped?" one of them asked in a low voice.

The leader next to him said in a rough voice, "Of course it's these two people, one is crippled, and the other is a woman."

"I heard the woman is really capable; they even told us to be careful. She doesn't seem that impressive."

As he was speaking, Cheng Xihe felt someone kick him.

It wasn't heavy, it just felt like a test.

Cheng Xihe remained calm and did not resist.

"Look, she doesn't react at all when I kick her like this, it's definitely not working." The man said, and then he actually laughed.

"Snapped!"

"Ouch!"

The beaten subordinate covered his head, looking pitifully at his boss: "Boss, why did you hit me?"

"Shut up, don't say anything."

"Yeah, you're the most talkative person on the whole bus."

The car quickly fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Xihe felt himself being pulled up and then put on the ground.

The ground was covered with sand and gravel, making it uncomfortable to walk on due to the presence of many small particles.

A subordinate's voice came from the side: "Boss, what should we do with this cripple?"

"Didn't you take his wheelchair with you? Take it back, you idiot!" The boss's voice sounded furious.

"Oh, right, right, right!"

Soon, the sound of a wheelchair moving could be heard from the side.

"You two stay in there and behave yourselves." The man said this harshly and slammed the door shut.

Cheng Xihe was not flustered at all.

For so long, she and Yan Mingchuan hadn't exchanged a single word, and neither of them seemed flustered.

"Hey, Yan Mingchuan, how are you? Is anything bothering you?" After a long while, Cheng Xihe finally asked about Yan Mingchuan's condition.

Yan Mingchuan calmly replied, "I'm not feeling unwell, I'm fine now."

His leg has not fully recovered.

Walking must be very difficult now.

"That's fine then."

Cheng Xihe easily untied the ropes binding his hands and removed the hood.

After glancing around to make sure no one was around, he also took off Yan Mingchuan's.

Looking at Yan Mingchuan's slightly disheveled hair, Cheng Xihe smiled and said, "Tsk, it's a bit troublesome for me to take you away, Mr. Yan."

Cheng Xihe gently patted Yan Mingchuan's leg, staring into his eyes, waiting for his reaction.

Yan Mingchuan glanced at his legs, showing no sign of refusal: "You run out first, I'll handle things here myself."

Xihe was in good health and moved quickly.

You can leave very quickly from here.

"That won't work."

Cheng Xihe shook his head, looked around, and his gaze sharpened: "If I leave, you'll definitely get a beating, believe it or not?"

"I don't believe it."

Yan Mingchuan's eyes held a hint of a smile, and his expression remained calm.

He did it on purpose, wanting Cheng Xihe to leave first.

Cheng Xihe gently placed her hand on Yan Mingchuan's shoulder and offered a word of advice:

"Alright, Mr. Yan, don't try to get me to leave in this way. I'll take you with me."

Yan Mingchuan stared at his legs: "Xihe, you'll be in a lot of trouble carrying me around."

"It's no trouble at all."

Cheng Xihe calmly surveyed her surroundings.

This is an abandoned factory area, surrounded by reinforced concrete, with exceptionally high ceilings.

The place they were in was originally a room used to store miscellaneous items, and there were many discarded chemical paint buckets.

The whole place is only about 60 square meters, and it's a fairly large storage room.

However, this place only has two sealed windows and a door.

The only places to get out are the windows and the ventilation ducts at the top.

The ventilation duct is four meters above the ground. Even if she could climb up to it with an empty bucket, she wouldn't be able to get out.

It's unrealistic to expect Yan Mingchuan to be included as well.

Cheng Xihe's eyes darted around, then his gaze fell on the window: "The window is low enough to get out. Why don't I try breaking the window?"

Walking to the window, Cheng Xihe gestured.

The window was made of wooden planks and newspapers, and it didn't look like it had any steel bars; it should be easy to kick through.

Cheng Xihe dragged a pile of chemical barrels to the door to block it, and walked to the window.

"Guess who's trying to kidnap us?"

Yan Mingchuan smiled and looked at Cheng Xihe.

"Pfft."

Cheng Xihe scoffed, "I don't even need to analyze it. It was your good-for-nothing brother who called him, wasn't it?"

She didn't have any enemies except Yan Mingchuan.

The only person I've made a major grudge against recently is Yan Chiye.

That idiot.

"I also think it's him." Yan Mingchuan's eyes turned slightly cold.

Cheng Xihe shrugged: "It's alright, I've already made arrangements, and I've already sent the message."

"Huh? When?"

Yan Mingchuan looked at Cheng Xihe in surprise.

They were together the whole time, so it's strange how quickly Cheng Xihe called for help.

Pointing to the beautiful chain on her wrist, she said, "This is for communication. It has a GPS tracking function. My people and Su Jin have already arrived."

"That's good." Yan Mingchuan nodded knowingly.

Cheng Xihe walked to the window and looked around.

"Bang!"

With a single kick, she broke open the paper window.

"Let's go."

Back beside Yan Mingchuan, Cheng Xihe pushed his wheelchair.

"etc."

Yan Mingchuan pressed down on Cheng Xihe's wrist, looking at his own legs with some reluctance: "Xihe, it's not convenient for me to go with you."

"What are you afraid of? I'll take you."

Cheng Xihe picked up Yan Mingchuan, walked to the window, and placed him on the windowsill.

She climbed over herself before she could help Yan Mingchuan down.

"Walk."

This place is wasteland behind the factory, surrounded by weeds, and those people would never come here.

After carrying Yan Mingchuan for ten minutes, they reached the dense forest. Cheng Xihe put him down and asked, "Can you walk a few steps?"

"Yes, I can walk for ten minutes after rehabilitation." Yan Mingchuan glanced at the field in front of him.

The branches are all jagged and uneven, so walking probably won't be easy.

The two walked together for almost ten minutes, and Yan Mingchuan couldn't take it anymore. He was panting heavily and said, "I'm tired."

Shh, I heard you.

Cheng Xihe vaguely heard the sound of someone chasing after them, and Yan Mingchuan hid.

Those people hurried past and left.

Yan Mingchuan grabbed Cheng Xihe's wrist and whispered, "Xihe, why don't you leave me here and wait for me?"

Yan Mingchuan gripped Cheng Xihe's wrist, his legs trembling so badly he could barely stand.

"You can walk, don't worry."

Cheng Xihe helped him walk down another path.

Gradually, I could no longer hear other people's voices.

Clearly, they were tripped up by something else, or they couldn't find their way.

After resting for a while, Yan Mingchuan was actually able to keep up with Cheng Xihe for quite a distance, although not very fast.

The two walked for another five minutes and then stopped to rest.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yan, you've stood up."

Cheng Xihe supported him, and the two of them leaned against the tree trunk, panting.

A large hand pressed firmly on Cheng Xihe's wrist, while the other hand gripped the tree trunk. Yan Mingchuan's legs trembled slightly.

"I can actually stand up and walk!"

At first, Cheng Xihe had to support her, but later she was able to walk on her own.

Cheng Xihe chuckled: "Yes, congratulations."

She looked up and realized that Yan Mingchuan was actually quite tall.

Look at him, he still has to tilt his head back.

Looking down at Cheng Xihe, Yan Mingchuan suddenly smiled slightly:

"Xihe, although the timing is wrong, I still want to ask you, would you like to be with me?"

Yan Mingchuan looked down at Cheng Xihe.

After spending so much time together, this was the first time he had been able to look down at Cheng Xihe, and he felt that she was so cute.

Cheng Xihe: ?

She observed the changes in Yan Mingchuan's expression; he was so serious, there wasn't a trace of him lying.

She cracked.

Is this the time to talk about this?

Cheng Xihe nudged Yan Mingchuan, incredulous: "You wouldn't be thinking of repaying me with your body because I saved you, would you?"

"no."

Upon hearing Yan Mingchuan's answer, Cheng Xihe scoffed, "That's so cliché, Mr. Yan~"

"Xihe, I'm sure I really like you," Yan Mingchuan said earnestly, holding Cheng Xihe's wrist.

Cheng Xihe withdrew his hand, patted Yan Mingchuan's shoulder, and said helplessly:

"Mr. Yan, are you sure you want to confess your feelings to me under these circumstances?"

"Sure."

A smile appeared on Yan Mingchuan's face: "Really, I'm not lying to you."

Cheng Xihe said, "Okay, I agree."

"It's okay if you don't agree, but... um?"

Yan Mingchuan was prepared for Cheng Xihe to refuse, but he didn't expect to receive a positive answer.

"Yes, really."

Cheng Xihe contacted Bai Ce and Su Jin, asking them to take good care of Yan Chiye, and then led Yan Mingchuan down the mountain via a different route.

When Yan Chi arrived at night, he was surrounded and beaten up by Bai Ce and Su Jin's men.

Those who came to kidnap him were all brutally beaten.

"Yan Mingchuan, I hate you!" Yan Chiye screamed.

Su Jin hit harder: "What are you yelling for? Load up! How dare you bully my brother Yan? I'll beat you to death."

"You're the one who kidnapped my boss, aren't you? I'll beat you up and that'll be the end of it!" Bai Ce's blows were also quite heavy.

Yan Chiye was beaten so badly that he ended up in the hospital, but he dared not make a sound.

Upon receiving the news, Yan Haiting rushed to the hospital to visit Yan Chiye. After learning what had happened, Yan Haiting had no choice but to compensate Yan Mingchuan.

"Old Yan, you've given him a lot of money." Madam Yan looked on with heartache as her son's shares were all given to Yan Mingchuan.

Yan Haiting snorted coldly: "This is what happens when you're spoiled!"

"Yan Haiting, don't force me..." Madam Yan stared fiercely at Yan Haiting, wanting to tear him to pieces.

Yan Haiting tossed a document at him: "I believe you know better than I how Mingchuan's legs got damaged."

"this……"

When Madam Yan learned that her scheme had been exposed, she fell silent.

To avoid trouble, Yan Haiting sent Yan Chiye and his mother away overnight, without Yan Mingchuan having to say a word.

Here.

Yan Mingchuan went home with Cheng Xihe, and the two sat on the sofa. He pursed his lips and looked at Cheng Xihe:

"Xihe, there's something else I need to tell you."

"About the medicine?" Cheng Xihe looked up and stared at him.

Yan Mingchuan asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"I found out. You sent someone to steal my potion." Cheng Xihe looked up at Yan Mingchuan.

She had successfully replicated the potion, and she knew that the person who stole it had no way to replicate it.

"I'm sorry, Xihe, I didn't know it was your potion; I only confirmed it recently..."

Yan Mingchuan lowered his head: "We've almost used up the potion. The rest won't be used, so the group will be disbanded."

"fine."

Cheng Xihe looked out the window: "You don't need to give me back the potion. I've already developed a new one."

You can have people continue the research, and I'll find another way to rescue Shen Zenan.

In the school's laboratory, she had already developed the drug to its second generation and sent the second generation back to the laboratory.

Once the research and development is successful, we will apply for Ganges monkey trials before proceeding to human trials.

"I'm sorry, Xihe."

"How do you plan to make it up to me?" Cheng Xihe asked Yan Mingchuan with a smile.

Yan Mingchuan chuckled and hugged Cheng Xihe tightly in his arms: "As long as you want to do research, I will support you."

After a moment of surprise, Cheng Xihe gently leaned her head against him: "Yes, please bear with me in the future, President Yan."
