Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 660 - 513: The Game Begins (Extra)

Chen Lan quietly placed the phone in front of Yin Shixiu, playing a short video...

Yin Shixiu’s face changed completely! It turned exceptionally ugly!

The video call between Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng had not yet ended, while the short video on Chen Lan’s phone was already playing for Yin Shixiu.

Su Xiaomeng leaned against the sofa, watching the drastic change on Yin Shixiu’s face on the screen.

This kind of ugliness and the instant exposure of barely contained anger was something Su Xiaomeng had never seen before.

Of course, it was merely something Su Xiaomeng had never seen.

When her and the children’s safety was threatened, Yin Shixiu’s face was actually even uglier than it was now.

Only that kind of ugliness was more about fear, while the current ugliness was filled with anger!

"What’s wrong?"

Su Xiaomeng intuitively sensed something extremely bad had happened, causing her smile to fade slightly with worry in her voice.

Yin Shixiu composed himself, facing Su Xiaomeng’s worried expression...

Chen Lan clearly saw, in just this brief moment, all of the unease and anger on Yin Shixiu’s face suddenly vanished, as he spoke to Su Xiaomeng with a calm tone,

"Shi Shengde broke out of prison, and the police still haven’t found his whereabouts."

"Even if they haven’t found him now, they will later. There’s no need to rush."

"Yes, indeed."

Yin Shixiu responded, "Are Shuang’er and Huang’er still asleep?"

Su Xiaomeng rubbed her eyes and nodded,

"Not yet, I’ll go wake them up after making breakfast. By the way, stop playing games with them all the time. Now whenever the siblings have nothing to do, they just wait with their tablets for you to join."

Yin Shixiu chuckled,

"I haven’t seen them for almost a month, besides playing games with them, I don’t know what else I can do as a father..."

The helplessness showed in his demeanor.

"You’ve spent enough time with them. Shuang’er and Huang’er are very understanding, don’t feel guilty about them, okay?"

"Okay."

Su Xiaomeng yawned,

"Alright, you carry on with your work, I’m getting up."

Yin Shixiu responded, briefly ending the video call.

As the video call ended, Yin Shixiu immediately slammed his fist onto the desk!

"Bastard!"

Yin Shixiu stood up, no longer able to conceal the immense anger within him!

The veins on his temples bulged!

In the video, Su Chengji was hung by ropes, his body covered in bloody welts from beatings!

And the coarse whip showed no sign of stopping its torture on Su Chengji.

The video was only twenty seconds long, filled with the sound of the whip cracking and Su Chengji’s muffled grunts of pain.

Each hit felt as if it was striking Yin Shixiu himself.

He couldn’t even begin to imagine how his wife would react if she saw this video...

"Was it Shi Shengde?"

Chen Lan asked, his expression also abnormally grave.

He understood what Su Chengji being kidnapped meant.

"Apart from him, no one else could pull this off!"

Yin Shixiu spoke through gritted teeth.

Since he initiated the business war between the Yin Family and Shengde Group, Yin Shixiu had been thoroughly prepared.

He was aware the Shengde Group had connections to the underworld, and that Shi Shengde wielded influence there, so he had been more focused on the Su Family than the Yin Family.

Bai Sixian was in London looking after Su Xiaomeng, she and Su Xiaomeng along with Shuangshuang and Huanghuang were already under Yin Shixiu’s secret protection.

He wasn’t too concerned about London.

In Beijing, what worried Yin Shixiu most was Su Chengji.

He knew where his weaknesses were, and Shi Shengde wasn’t a fool, he couldn’t not know.

All the arrangements Yin Shixiu should have made had been made.

And yet, Shi Shengde still succeeded!

Chen Lan furrowed his eyebrows,

"What should we do then? Should we notify the police immediately?"

Yin Shixiu closed his eyes, taking a deep breath to calm himself, he couldn’t let his mind cease thinking at this moment...

"Did you see the sign behind Su Chengji — no police."

"..."

Chen Lan was stunned, upon looking at the screen again, he saw these two words.

"Shi Shengde hasn’t revealed his intentions, but he will have more to say later. Sending me this video is essentially a provocation and demonstration."

"So what do we do? Just wait?"

"He managed to escape prison, there’s a significant possibility that there’s an inside hand at the police station. Suddenly calling the police, if Shi Shengde finds out, I fear he would harm Su Chengji further."

Chen Lan understood, Shi Shengde had indeed grabbed him precisely and cruelly!

This almost instantly hit Yin Shixiu’s lifeline!

"Just wait..."

Yin Shixiu muttered over these two words...

Clenching his fists tight, Yin Shixiu’s gaze heavy on the desk, this silence made Chen Lan feel tortured too.

With Su Chengji in trouble, Yin Shixiu didn’t even consider telling Su Xiaomeng.

He didn’t want Su Xiaomeng to bear even a shred of worry.

But as the situation escalates, how could he turn danger into safety? How could he ensure that Su Xiaomeng wouldn’t worry at all?

"Wait!"

Yin Shixiu said forcefully!

Chen Lan pursed his lips, in reality, all they could do now was wait.

Shi Shengde deliberately tortured Yin Shixiu, hence he sent only a brief video.

Without any demands, without saying much, he wanted Yin Shixiu to suffer through every ticking of the clock.

Yin Shixiu bore this agony!

Returning to his leather chair, Yin Shixiu while waiting, also pondered.

He hadn’t anticipated Shi Shengde would turn back with such a move, he had thought Shi Shengde’s primary goal in escaping prison was survival!

Kidnapping Su Chengji...

Shi Shengde had practically made himself a target.

Erasing the potential to escape without a trace.

Why? What are Shi Shengde’s ultimate goals?

Could it be at this point he was seeking revenge?

The very possibility sent chills down Yin Shixiu’s spine.

Shi Shengde’s personality was evident, he could escape from prison, killing a person or two, was practically nothing to him.

As Yin Shixiu pondered, Chen Lan was contemplating the same.

Everything Yin Shixiu could think of, all the speculating possibilities, Chen Lan was also thinking.

Because of this, both were acutely aware of the gravity of the situation, knowing full well...

They had already fallen into Shi Shengde’s trap.

An hour later, another video sent to Chen Lan’s phone confirmed their suspicions.

Su Chengji had already fainted.

Shi Shengde sat on a luxurious chair, standing out against the slightly dark and damp surroundings.

The chair was draped with tiger skin.

Shi Shengde lounged on it, his eyes filled with a malicious smile.

"Yin Shixiu, the game begins, starting now, you have two hours. Find me."

"..."

"Remember, only two hours, exceed by a minute, I’ll chop off one finger from Su Chengji."

"..."

"After chopping, I’ll immediately have someone send it to London, as a gift for your dear wife."

"..."

"Oh, and you haven’t alerted the police, right? Of course, if you want to end the game early, you can choose to call the police."

With that, Shi Shengde ended the video.

The video was sent via email, and the email account was undoubtedly a newly registered alias.

The unilateral contact disgusted Chen Lan to the point of wanting to smash his phone!

"We have to call the police."

This was the conclusion Chen Lan reached after thinking it through,

"And we must call the police!"

No matter how clever Yin Shixiu was, how sharp his thoughts, he was merely a businessman, pitting him against those dealing in life and death was a path to disaster.

"We can’t call the police. Dad would die."

"This is exactly the result Shi Shengde wants! He wants you to be too afraid to do anything!"

"I’ll contact Bai Sidong, he should know what to do."

Saying this, Yin Shixiu made a call to Bai Sidong, only to find...

Bai Sidong’s phone was turned off at this very moment!
