She Wants Both Bread and Love - Chapter Twelve: Threat

Xia Ye felt her legs go weak. She tried to support herself, but she was too weak and had to let He Mingsheng help her.
He Mingsheng supported Xia Ye's arm as they entered another room, led her to a chair in front of a black table, and then turned and left.
Shen Cheng was sitting in a swivel chair. Hearing the noise, he turned around to look.
Xia Ye recognized him as the man she had seen in the secret passage, but she couldn't understand why he had come looking for her. Was it because he had ruined Xia Ye's escape plan?
Shen Cheng pointed at Xia Ye, squinted his eyes as if recalling something, and suddenly realized: "You—you weren't sent by Tang Bo..." Shen Cheng became interested and continued to ask: "Then what is your relationship with Qiao Zhe?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Don't rush to deny it. Someone saw you and Qiao Zhe staying in the same room when you were in Shougang. Do you think it makes sense to just say it's nothing?"
Xia Ye seemed to understand something. Judging from his reaction, he wasn't called here because of the casino. It seemed that the focus was on his relationship with Qiao Zhe. During the time he was injured in Shougang, he did go in and out of hotels with Qiao Zhe, but what did that have to do with him?
"Since you know about this, can't your people find out why?"
"I know, but I still want to hear it from you in person." Shen Cheng became serious, realizing it wouldn't be so easy to get the truth out of her.
Xia Ye looked him straight in the eye: "So what do you want to hear from me?"
"First, tell me about your relationship with him."
Xia Ye looked at his face; his cheeks were somewhat thin, his eyebrows were high and straight, but his skin was pale to the point of being sickly. She replied, "It's nothing, we just share an apartment."
Shen Cheng had little patience for dealing with her and changed the subject, asking, "Aren't you one of Tang Bo's people? Why did you suspend the deal?"
"Yes, that was then, but not now. You don't need to ask me about the deal anymore. Although I stopped the next step back then, you should have reached a deal by now." Tang Bo was determined to win this deal. He sent me here simply to leave me with a criminal record in the country. If I were targeted by the anti-drug team, I wouldn't be able to stay in the country.
Just as Shen Cheng was about to ask more questions, He Mingsheng pushed the door open and came in: "The police are here."
Upon hearing this, Shen Cheng got up and walked to the window to look down. The arrival of the police car attracted a lot of attention, and the surrounding streets were bustling with people.
Xia Ye let out a soft breath, feeling a bit of a headache, and prayed in his heart that he could escape this time.
Shen Cheng took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
On the other side of the city, in a kindergarten, it was past dismissal time. Only one child was still playing on the slide in the empty schoolyard. It seemed that his parents had not yet arrived. A slender woman stood to the side, smiling at him. Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
Shen Wan took out her phone, glanced at the unfamiliar number, hesitated for a moment before answering: "Hello?"
"Hello Ms. Shen, I'm Qiao Zhe's colleague. I'm currently at the entrance of your kindergarten. Would it be convenient for you to come out and talk to me?" Lin Yi said.
Shen Wan beckoned the child over, then led him toward the front door, saying, "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go out now."
Lin Yi paced back and forth at the door. Through the gap in the iron gate, he saw a woman holding a child's hand, her face gradually becoming clearer.
Shen Wan took the child into the guardhouse, gave the aunt inside a few words of advice, and then turned to walk towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi stared wide-eyed at the child she was holding. The child looked familiar, and after a moment's thought, he was shocked. Driven by curiosity, he blurted out, "Who was that child just now?"
Shen Wan turned her head and glanced at the guardhouse. Although she didn't know why he asked that, she still answered truthfully, "My student? What's wrong?"
"A student... no, nothing, well, Shen Cheng is back."
She lowered her head and remained silent for a few seconds, then tucked one side of her hair behind her ear and said in a slightly choked voice, "What happened to him?"
Lin Yi scratched his head and explained, "He didn't do anything wrong, he just kidnapped a girl. Qiao Zhe asked me to come pick you up. Shen Cheng probably came because of you. You know, hiding all the time isn't a solution."
"Is that girl alright now?" Shen Wan asked hurriedly.
"It should be safe for now, so come with me."
“Okay.” Shen Wan stepped forward, intending to follow him.
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the child at the gate, "Then...you're not bringing that...that..."
Shen Wan looked at the direction he was pointing with a puzzled expression. "Bring what? Oh, you mean this student? His parents called me and they'll be here in a bit."
Lin Yi instantly realized that he had misunderstood. Qiao Zhe had actually used a fake photo. No, to be precise, it was a real photo, but he had misinterpreted it. No, he didn't seem to have explicitly said it was Shen Cheng's child.
Shen Wan looked at the stunned Lin Yi, "Aren't you leaving now?"
Lin Yi quickly came to his senses and led Shen Wan toward the police car.
Qiao Zhe answered the ringing anonymous internet call.
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, "Qiao Zhe, you know what I want."
"What do you want?" Qiao Zhe asked in return.
"Stop pretending you don't know the answer. I'm not going to beat around the bush with you anymore. I'll just tell you directly: the explosives under the Lihai Building are enough to blow this building up. Bring her to me, or we'll all die together," Shen Cheng threatened.
Do you think it's possible?
"Maybe. Others might not be able to do it, but you, Qiao Zhe, definitely can. You're not going to tell me you don't know where she is, are you?"
"Aren't you afraid of blowing up Shen Wan too?"
"Hmph, do you have any terms to negotiate with me?"
Qiao Zhe suppressed his anger. At this moment, he could not take any risks, as it concerned the many lives in the vicinity.
In the end, Qiao Zhe decided to compromise: "Okay, you can talk to Shen Wan yourself. If she's willing to see you, I won't stop her." He then hung up the phone.
Shen Cheng put away his phone with satisfaction, looking out the window at the gradually darkening sky. Rows of buildings were all lit up with dazzling lights, like stars in the sky, blending into the deep blue night sky.
Lin Yi drove the police car directly to the front of the Lihai Building, where there were many police cars parked, and Qiao Zhe's car was parked conspicuously among them.
Qiao Zhe saw Lin Yi's car pull up, opened the car door, got out, and waited.
Shen Wan got out of the passenger seat and walked around the front of the car.
Qiao Zhe felt somewhat apologetic for dragging Shen Wan into this again. He said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you to come here. Shen Cheng wants to see you, but if you don't want to see him, you have the right to refuse."
"You don't need to apologize. It's not your fault. I just didn't want to run away anymore. I didn't want to continue living under a false name..."
Qiao Zhe didn't quite understand matters of the heart either. He sighed and dialed the number: "She's willing to talk to you."
Shen Wan took the phone, breaking the brief pause, "Acheng..."
Shen Cheng closed his eyes, imagining her expression, recalling the unbearable past...
"Stop it..." she said, interrupting his reminiscence.
She didn't know how to persuade him to turn back, because she had already said those words of advice countless times, and anything she said now seemed so pale and powerless.
Shen Cheng avoided her words, saying, "Come with me, let's leave this place."
Shen Wan could no longer bear it. "You've harmed so many people, how can you leave here with a clear conscience! I can go with you and spend the rest of my life living under police surveillance. Have you ever considered my feelings? Do you know that being with you makes me live in constant fear? I'm afraid you'll disappear without a trace the next day, and I won't even know if you're in prison or killed!"
Shen Cheng had no way to refute it. He understood what he was doing. He could either risk his life to make money or live a peaceful life. But he was greedy and wanted both. He would work for others first, and once he had the opportunity to become a big shot, people would naturally be willing to work for him. Now, he didn't know how many lives were on his hands. There was no turning back.
“I’m sorry… Sister, come to Lihai Building to find me. I’ll wait for you here. You don’t want to see me die here, right?” Shen Cheng made his choice.
He then added, "Qiao Zhe, Miss Xia is still in my hands. I've just developed a new product and am looking for someone to test it. You won't stop me, will you?"
Shen Wan shouted, "I'll go with you! Stop hurting innocent people!" Then she hung up the phone, somewhat agitated.
Qiao Zhe looked at her and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Shen Wan gave a bitter smile. "I can't let him kill innocent people like this anymore. I'm going to see him."
Shen Cheng clasped his hands together and rested them on the table in front of him, praying as devoutly as a religious person, wishing this moment would come quickly.
The flickering computer screen interrupted his prayers. Shen Cheng picked up the mouse, opened the email, which was from a private investigator. The first thing he saw was a screenshot from a street surveillance camera. The image quality was a bit blurry, but it was still clear that a man was leading a woman into a clinic. Then Shen Cheng opened the following document: A top student from the Ivy League Computer Science Department, who participated in an international programming competition and won first place that year, the chief representative of the department's graduating class, and an organizer of dark web attacks. His resume was quite impressive.
Xia Ye felt uneasy as he watched him scrutinize her.
Shen Cheng flipped the computer screen over and showed it to Xia Ye, saying, "With your education, you don't need to do such a dangerous job. Are you doing this for the money too?"
Xia Ye returned a calm look: "Who would be willing to do this job if it weren't for the money?"
Shen Cheng looked at her frank eyes and chuckled, "Qiao Zhe doesn't know yet, does he?"
"So what if he knows?" Xia Ye quickly retorted.
"It's not that great. So it seems you were the one who did the casino surveillance, but who told the police the transaction time?" Shen Cheng's expression gradually turned serious.
Xia Ye furrowed her delicate eyebrows: "What do you mean? Shougang is your territory. Shouldn't the news be that something went wrong with your people?"
Shen Cheng shook his head. "Do you know how many of my men have been arrested this time? My men said the IP address the police received from the anonymous tip was from the US. Are you trying to double-cross us?"
Xia Ye paused for a moment, sorting out the information in his mind. If what he said was true, then Tang Bo was pretending to win him back, but actually he wanted to sacrifice himself and send Shen Cheng to prison so that he could boldly take over the shipment. But he didn't expect that Shen Cheng would actually escape! What a brilliant plan. He thought that the exposure was an accident, but he didn't expect that it was deliberately leaked by him.
Xia Ye explained her thoughts to Shen Cheng, indicating that she was also a victim.
After hearing this, Shen Cheng remained noncommittal, then changed the subject: "I'll give you a chance. I've just developed a new one that's addictive from the first injection. When Qiao Zhe comes up later, you can inject him with it for me and prove it with your actions. Otherwise—keep it for yourself."
After he finished speaking, his gaze pointed to several syringes in a glass cabinet to the side.
