“No wonder you guys kept calling me to ask me to change the trading location when you saw that I wasn’t coming over!” Chen Chen could not help but blurt out.

“Yes. At that time, Miss Bai also heard us talking on the second phone call,” the leader said as he glanced at Bai Ran.

Bai Ran nodded and asked, “So he went to Hu Wan’s place and didn’t come?”

“That’s right. At that time, we pretended to say that Brother Chen did not abide by the time. Brother Chen said that he had gone to his fiancée and did not have time to come to my place for the time being. In order not to let him discover that this was Hu Wan’s plan, we pretended to say that he was deliberately delaying time. He said to let us wait and that he could come to our place after settling the matter there. We were really greedy for the 10 million yuan, so we said that we would not wait for him. At the same time, we suggested changing the transaction location…” the leader explained quickly without even breathing.

“Wait, what did you say?” Chen Chen was a little stunned. Their answers were clearly right. Why did everything change when it came to his words?

The next second, he grabbed the leader’s collar and scolded, “How can you lie through your teeth? That’s clearly not what I said on the phone! Did Hu Wan make you say that?!”

At this moment, Chen Chen finally understood why the leader looked so surprised when he heard Chen Chen’s request to tell him what had happened. He was really good at pretending!

“Brother, we’re clearly telling the truth. We were wondering why you brought Miss Bai here to listen to this. Perhaps you really don’t like Miss Bai either and really want her to give up…” The leader looked at Chen Chen with fear.

“Stop scaring our brother! You’re the one who asked our brother to tell the truth!” the lackey beside shouted.

“Let go of him. Why be angry out of humiliation? It’s understandable that you chose her,” Bai Ran said as she turned and walked to the door.

The words of this group of kidnappers were the same as what she had heard at that time, but Ye Lin’s words were completely opposite.

Bai Ran did not know what to feel or who to trust. At this moment, she only wanted to be alone.

“Wait, don’t leave yet!” Chen Chen let go of the leader and chased after her.

In the corridor, Chen Chen pulled Bai Ran back, looking anxious. “Don’t go. Listen to me!”

“What else is there to say?” Bai Ran stopped in her tracks.

“The truth is really not like what he said!” Chen Chen swallowed hard and calmed himself down. He said, “I think Hu Wan must have made them say that! If I knew they would say that, I wouldn’t have brought you to see them!”

“Perhaps it’s as they say. Do you want me to give up completely? So that you and Hu Wan can have no worries at all!” Bai Ran looked at Chen Chen with a questioning gaze.

“How could that be?! If I wanted you to give up on me and not have any worries, then wouldn’t I just get a divorce?! Anyway, you’ve already signed the divorce agreement! Why would I be busy here just to prove myself?!” Chen Chen said quickly.

“Moreover, think about it. Those kidnappers are not related to you at all. They’re people who can be bribed by just anyone. You can let them say anything, but Ye Lin, he’s really a friend who grew up with you. Why don’t you trust Ye Lin but trust the kidnapper’s words?! Those are all people who have hurt you!”

Chen Chen’s voice became more and more anxious as he spoke. His grip on her arm became stronger and stronger. He was really afraid that Bai Ran would misunderstand.

Bai Ran felt the pain and frowned slightly, but she did not speak.

She looked into Chen Chen’s eyes, which were filled with sincerity.

However, when Bai Ran thought about it, the expression of the leader in the ward was quite real.

Of course, Chen Chen’s words did have some logic, making Bai Ran even have the urge to believe him directly. However, Bai Ran still had doubts in her heart. Be it Ye Lin, Chen Chen, or that leader, they were all just their side of the story.

Until now, Bai Ran had not seen any concrete evidence.

Bai Ran sighed and said, “Let go of me first. I’ll go home first.”

She did not know what to do. At this moment, she only wanted to be alone.

“Then go home and think about what I said..” Chen Chen let go weakly.
