Wei Wenjuan had his own people, but not many.
These people who came from the Gui Family, whether they followed Wei Wenjuan or sided with Wei Lin, all carried with them a ruthlessness born from emerging from chaos and darkness.
When Wei Wenjuan rushed off to kill like a crazed demon...
Their first reaction was—Excellent!
Excellent! The young master's bloodthirst was only hidden, not extinguished.
It was as if they saw a glimmer of hope again.
"Everyone, bring your guns," Wei Wenjuan said coldly.
"Shouldn't we inform the old master first?"
"No need."
"What about the shareholders..."
"Don't worry about any of them."
The bodyguards understood immediately.
This was reckless...
But they had been suppressed for so long that even the phrase "reckless" sounded wonderfully sweet at this moment!
When Wei Wenjuan arrived, Wei Lin had just finished being questioned by the local police.
At this time, Mr. Jefferson hurriedly arrived.
"How could this happen? Attacked right after coming down the mountain?" Jefferson sighed, his face full of regret as he raised his hand to make the sign of the cross, "May God bless that child."
As soon as Jefferson finished speaking.
Someone shouted: "The young master is here!"
Footsteps mixed with the sound of wheels rolling, then "bang", a gunshot rang out before anyone could react.
Wei Lin cried out in agony and fell backward.
Jefferson's eyelid twitched, and the bodyguards beside him also drew their guns.
"Nobody move!" Jefferson shouted, "Stay calm!"
Wei Lin's men glanced at his face, hesitating to stop. If a stray bullet killed Mr. Jefferson, that would be laughable.
They still had some restraint.
But Wei Wenjuan had truly gone mad. With a "click", he reloaded, pushing his wheelchair with one hand, moving so fast he was in front of Wei Lin in the blink of an eye.
"Young master!" The people around exclaimed, watching as Wei Wenjuan pressed the gun barrel against Wei Lin's forehead.
"Young master, what are you doing?"
"Don't be impulsive! We've already reported to the board! The old master hasn't spoken yet!"
"That's right, the most important thing now is to catch the people who kidnapped the young miss, how can you point your gun at your own people?"
The people around spoke in a jumble, cold sweat streaming down their faces.
The cripple from the Gui Family had gone mad too? Jefferson steadied himself and stood to the side to watch the show.
"The old master? He's sick." Wei Wenjuan twisted his mouth, "The board? What business is this of theirs?"
"Not satisfied? I'll kill him, and you can avenge him if you want." As Wei Wenjuan's eyeballs rolled, there was an indescribable sense of horror.
Wei Wenjuan's personality had become acerbic since he became crippled.
But in the past, he directed that acerbity at himself, wasting away internally.
But today... he was venting it all on Wei Lin.
For a moment, everyone was a bit afraid to meet his eyes.
As the saying goes, the reckless fear those who don't value their lives.
Wei Wenjuan had already made it crystal clear, if you have the guts, I'll kill him and then you can kill me... He's gone mad! He's truly lost his rationality and gone berserk!
Wei Lin's men could only continue to persuade: "Young master, the company still needs Mr. Wei to handle things, you can't be impulsive. Mr. Wei has been diligent all these years for the family's sake, you can't do something so disheartening..."
"You say it like that, as if the company couldn't function without him?" Wei Wenjuan turned his head and sneered.
"Mr. Wei is very important to the company, everyone knows that..."
"Then the board members, including the other executives... are they all useless rice buckets? Only Wei Lin is capable?" Wei Wenjuan's hand tightened on the gun grip, "Then let's just go bankrupt, none of us will live on!"
The people around felt their breath catch in their throats when they heard this.
It's over...
No one's stopping him... Today it's really going to end!
"Wenjuan..." Wei Lin finally recovered from the intense pain. He raised his hand to hold the gun barrel. The barrel still retained some heat, but he dared not let go, nor did he have the chance to see where exactly he had been shot...
"At least, at least ask what happened first?" Wei Lin said with difficulty, the sweat on his forehead visibly accumulating.
"Xiao Ya is missing, her life in danger, that's the fact!" Wei Wenjuan applied force, the gun barrel leaving a red mark on Wei Lin's forehead.
Wei Lin's heart was pounding, and he was in excruciating pain.
He hadn't suffered such a great loss in a long time...
But at this moment, he had to argue his case: "Who died? My driver died! My bodyguard died!"
"This is your ploy, sacrificing a few of your trusted men to avoid suspicion from others. Otherwise, you should have died in that car too. But where were you? Someone saw you going in and out with Kurokawa Shin! Who is Kurokawa Shin? An enemy of our family. Wei Lin, how do you explain this?" Wei Wenjuan leaned forward to interrogate.
Though he was sitting in a wheelchair, his aura strongly overpowered Wei Lin.
"What? Mr. Wei was seen with Kurokawa Shin? Impossible! Could they have seen wrong?" Wei Lin's men changed their expressions.
Because this involved the overall interests of the entire Gui Family.
Wei Wenjuan's bodyguard stepped forward: "We were afraid Wei Lin wouldn't admit it, so we took photos."
Hearing this, that feeling of falling into a trap became so strong that Wei Lin could no longer ignore it.
Who exactly...
Who had orchestrated this play.
"Xing Siyun!" Wei Lin shouted harshly, "Only you survived, what exactly did you see? The young master is here! Explain clearly!"
As long as Xing Siyun was smart enough, she would know this was a good opportunity to win back his favor.
Xing Siyun stepped out trembling: "Young master..."
Wei Wenjuan looked at her: "I heard you're pregnant with Wei Lin's child."
"Yes... I'm sorry, I..."
"I don't care about that." Wei Wenjuan stared at her, "What did you see?"
Xing Siyun was on the verge of tears: "I, I didn't see anything. I was afraid of being silenced, so I kept my eyes tightly shut. I just heard the car door open, then it seemed like Xiao Ya was carried away, and then... nothing..."
"Not killing on the spot means they only intended to kidnap Xiao Ya to exchange for benefits. It must be Ke Muning! He failed on the island last time, and now after meeting again, he must have taken action." Wei Lin quickly said.
Although he hated Xing Siyun for saying she didn't see anything, the utter fool!
But at least it gave him some room for argument.
Wei Wenjuan didn't speak, just lowered his eyes to look at him.
The surroundings were extremely quiet.
Because there was a most important question... a question that even Wei Lin's men were very clear about...
"If it was Ke Muning who took action, we should have already received a call from him gloating, or a video to demonstrate... Otherwise, why kidnap the young miss? To secretly raise her?" Wei Wenjuan's bodyguard said coldly.
Wei Lin closed his eyes forcefully, and those bizarre, suspicion-inducing but difficult to connect trivial clues in his mind... finally formed a line!
Ke Muning!
There was no mistake, it was he who took Xiao Ya away!
But indeed it wasn't a "kidnapping"... but a joint plot.
That phone call at the banquet was made to Xiao Ya!
Only this could explain everything... including why the Wei brothers could return safely from the island...
But who would believe it?
Who would dare to believe?
She had just arrived in a foreign country, and before that, she grew up in a mountain village, not even having had the chance to formally meet the Gui Family's subordinates. Under such circumstances, to say she conspired with Ke Muning to plot his death... who would believe it!
Xing Siyun weakly spoke up at this moment: "Young master, are you going to kill Wei Lin?"
Wei Wenjuan looked at her: "You should die too."
Xing Siyun was terrified, but still cried out: "No, he must be innocent, he must be innocent! Young master, if you don't believe it, then investigate him! Check his phone! Check his letters and computer! Check if he really had any contact with that Kurokawa Shin, how can you kill him? No, no... Wouldn't it be fine to just investigate clearly?"
Wei Lin's vision went black.
It would have been better if she hadn't said anything at all!
