Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Roll away, don’t touch me!

Shi Youjin hesitated for a moment.

He had dreamt of having his daughter call him "Dad" just once. Since her birth, she had been sent to the Wen Family, and he didn’t even have the chance to get close to her, let alone foster a father-daughter relationship.

Whenever he missed his daughter, he could only watch her from a distance, never daring to approach, for fear of revealing her identity.

Now that his daughter’s identity had been exposed, he no longer needed to watch her from afar. However, his time was running short.

Ye Chuyi saw his hesitation and continued, "Whether you’re going to kill me or set me free, after this you’re definitely not going to survive. For the sake of Wen Nianyou, you’ve sacrificed so much, given up all your youth, and now even your life. She owes you a ’Dad.’"

"This is your last chance to see her. I’m offering to help you, out of respect for the fact that you were once my father. Of course, if you don’t want to see Wen Nianyou at all, forget it. I probably won’t be able to get her to come out anyway."

Shi Youjin’s biggest soft spot was his biological daughter; his greatest regret was that she had never once called him Dad.

Persuaded by Ye Chuyi, he said, "Okay, call her on the phone, get her to come!"

After all, his daughter’s presence would not help Ye Chuyi escape. His daughter would only help him.

However, he was very cautious and did not allow Ye Chuyi to touch the cell phone. He unlocked her phone himself and dialed Wen Nianyou’s number.

This time, the phone connected, and Wen Nianyou picked up quickly.

"Ye Chuyi?"

"Yes, it’s me."

"Is it really you? Are you still alive?"

A thought flashed through Ye Chuyi’s mind, and she almost instantly realized why Wen Nianyou would ask such a question. Without any change in expression, she glanced at Shi Youjin and understood why he wanted her dead—it was Wen Nianyou’s demand.

"Of course, I’m alive. I’m perfectly fine! And not only am I not dead, but I’ve also inherited a huge sum from the Ye Family—fifty billion. Are you envious?"

Wen Nianyou was not just envious; she was jealous, she hated, "Ye Chuyi, don’t be smug! That money should have been mine, I’m the real Miss Wen, I’m Lady Wen’s daughter!"

"Right, I think so too. So, I’ve decided to share that fifty billion with you."

Wen Nianyou was obviously shocked, "What did you say? You’re really going to give me money? Are you that kind-hearted?"

"You can take it or leave it. I can’t possibly spend all fifty billion anyway. I was planning to share it with you, but if you don’t want it, I might just share it with Wen Xingye. After all, he is my biological father."

"No, no, no, why give it to Wen Xingye? He’s already spending the money on his mistress. It’s a waste to give it to him! Give it to me; I’ll help you spend it!"

"I can give you the money, but you can’t bully me anymore afterward."

"Of course, from now on, I’ll treat you like a real sister! Where are you? I’m coming to find you right now!"

"I’m at the Wen Family Villa. I’ll wait for half an hour. Don’t be late."

"Okay, wait for me. I’ll be right there!"

After hanging up, Ye Chuyi remained calm, "Shi Youjin, your daughter will be here soon. You wouldn’t want her to see you’ve tied me up like this, would you? Untie me for now; once she leaves, you can tie me up again if you want."

Shi Youjin looked at her deeply, and then said, "Don’t even think about it. Today, no matter who comes, I won’t untie you unless you really transfer the money to Youyou. Otherwise, don’t think about leaving this villa."

Ye Chuyi frowned; Shi Youjin was more problematic than she had anticipated. So many years had passed, and he had always pretended in front of her; she had never seen through him.

She glanced at the dagger in his hand and fell silent.

Half an hour later, Wen Nianyou arrived.

As soon as she saw the flashlight beam and found not only Ye Chuyi in the storage room but also Shi Youjin, her complexion drastically changed, "Why are you here too?!"

Shi Youjin looked at her as gently as he could, "Youyou, don’t be scared. Dad just wanted to talk to you one last time. Besides, Xiaoyi is going to transfer money to you; she’s rich and has agreed to share with you."

Wen Nianyou looked at Ye Chuyi with shock and anger, "You tricked me into coming, didn’t you?!"

Ye Chuyi suddenly laughed, "Wen Nianyou, are you blind? Can’t you see I’ve been kidnapped? How could I trick you in this situation? My cell phone is in Shi Youjin’s hands. Guess who made the call? Who asked you to come?"

Wen Nianyou angrily scolded Shi Youjin, "Have you lost your mind? Why did you kidnap her and call me over? You’re trying to kill me!"

After yelling, she turned to leave but was grabbed by Shi Youjin. noveldrama

Wen Nianyou screamed and struggled to break free, "What are you doing?! Get off me, don’t touch me! Get away!"
