721: Sudden Change!

Sudden Change!

Downstairs.

At the height of their intimacy, Shen Ruojing's phone rang inconveniently.

She immediately tried to push Chu Cichen away.

But Chu Cichen, having made progress tonight, wasn't willing to let her go easily.

As he wanted to continue being affectionate, he heard Shen Ruojing's voice. "It's a message from Dr. Xu."

Only then did Chu Cichen reluctantly let her go.

Shen Ruojing paid no attention to the reproach in Chu Cichen's eyes and picked up her phone. After reading the content, her eyes lit up and a smile crept up on her lips.

"He agreed!"

Shen Ruojing exclaimed.

Chu Cichen nodded. "It's good that he agreed, but we mustn't let our guard down."

"Right." Shen Ruojing furrowed her brow. "After all, no one knows whether he's truly submitting to us or just pretending to comply, using Rong Rong to deceive us and obtain my father's patent..."

At this point, a fierce look came over Shen Ruojing's face. "If that's the case, I'll make sure he comes in standing but leaves unconscious!"

Seeing her fierce expression, Chu Cichen smiled. "Hmm, our Jingjing is indeed tough."

"..."

Shen Ruojing immediately looked exasperated.

She wasn't a child, and his tone was just... too childish?

But even though she felt disgusted inside, why did her lips curve into a smile?

'Our Jingjing'...

These words sounded quite nice when said by Chu Cichen...

Shen Ruojing immediately cast aside her random thoughts and said to Chu Cichen, "Since he has chosen us, we must ensure that there are no issues with his future. Have your people protect him and the Rong family."

"I know." Chu Cichen stroked Shen Ruojing's hair. "Don't worry, I won't let the Doom Organization get a chance to approach them again."

Even though they couldn't guarantee Dr. Xu's lifelong safety, as long as he was in the capital, protecting him from the Doom Organization was something the Chu family could manage.

Once they got through this period, when Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen found an opportunity to defeat the Doom Organization, no one would bother Dr. Xu again.

While Shen Ruojing was thinking about this, she suddenly heard Chu Cichen mutter in a low voice, "Damn."

Shen Ruojing immediately looked at him. "What's wrong?"

Chu Cichen started. "Do you remember me saying that Dr. Xu's parents were sent abroad for treatment..."

Shen Ruojing realized something. "You mean, his parents haven't returned?"

Chu Cichen nodded.

Shen Ruojing immediately said, "I'll have someone pick them up."

Chu Cichen also immediately responded, "I'll have my people assist as well."

The country where they were was far from their own, and it was impossible for the two of them to fly there personally to pick them up. Besides, there wasn't enough time...

Meanwhile,

Dr. Xu was on the phone with Song Chen.

After hearing Dr. Xu's words, Song Chen fell silent for a moment. He then scoffed and asked, "So you're saying, you're planning to betray me?"

Dr. Xu immediately said, "Mr. Song, you have given me a chance to know and meet you, and I will never betray you in any way. However, I need you to be more concerned about my parents..."

Song Chen replied directly, "Don't worry, your parents are well taken care of in the hospital."

Dr. Xu's heart tightened a bit. "I'm getting married soon. Can they come back to attend my wedding?"

Song Chen laughed scornfully. "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Dr. Xu hesitated for a moment.

Song Chen coldly sneered, "If your parents are sent back, will you still obediently listen to me? Dr. Xu, I am not that naive."

Dr. Xu fell silent.

After a while, he said, "Mr. Song, I..."

"You only have one choice, keep Rong Rong happy and bring back what we want. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Leaving these words behind, Song Chen hung up the phone directly.

Dr. Xu stared at the phone in his hand, his head hung low.

He took a deep breath.

Parents and lover, at this time, which one should he choose?!

Dr. Xu suddenly felt lost about his future.

...

...

The following day, Shen Ruojing received the news that Dr. Xu's parents had disappeared from the hospital.

She immediately realized that they were too late.

Chu Cichen sighed, "People like Dr. Xu, if we want to use them, we must leave a handle in the hands of the Doom Organization. So now, his parents must have been controlled by Song Chen's people."

Shen Ruojing took a deep breath.

Chu Cichen frowned, "Shall we cancel the wedding?"

Shen Ruojing was silent for a long time, thinking about Rong Rong's anticipation of the wedding and Dr. Xu's cry for help last night. She then said, "I will try to talk to Song Chen."

Chu Cichen didn't stop her. "Okay."

Of course, she couldn't actually fly overseas to find him, so Shen Ruojing made a call to Song Chen.

Song Chen picked up quickly, as if he had been waiting for her call. His voice was full of satisfaction. "Jingjing, I told you, the day would come when you would need my help."

Shen Ruojing stared at her phone. "Speak, what are the terms for exchanging Dr. Xu's parents?"

Song Chen started. "Your father's patent."1

"That's impossible." Shen Ruojing flatly refused.

Song Chen laughed. "I know it's impossible. His parents have no deterrent effect on you. In fact, we originally wanted to use Rong Rong to threaten you at the wedding, but I didn't expect Dr. Xu to turn traitor..."
