The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 682 - 679: The Barefooted Brawny Man Appears 5_1

Yan Xixi had backed to the far end of the office desk, keeping an entire desk’s length between them.

"Yan Xixi, hand it over now!" he roared, waving the knife in his hand, more deranged than ever. "Don’t think you’ll get lucky today! I’ve known for a while now—the Third Young Master doesn’t want you anymore. Your lover is doomed, so what does that make you? If you know what’s good for you, hand over the item, kowtow, and apologize properly. Maybe then I’ll actually spare you!"

"Step back!" Yan Xixi ordered sharply. "I’ll give it to you once you’re outside the door!"

"You bitch! Do you think I’d believe your nonsense? Hand it over now, or I’ll take you down with me today!"

Suddenly, Yan Xixi saw her chance, turned, and bolted to the left.

Yang Wei hadn’t expected her to dare run out like that. He was momentarily stunned but immediately rounded the office desk and chased after her.

The saleswoman was so frightened she was cowering. Yan Xixi roared, "What are you standing there for? Run!"

As if startled from a dream, the saleswoman turned and fled.

That brief delay was all Yang Wei needed to catch up.

Yan Xixi’s heart hammered as if it would burst from her chest. Her legs gave out, and she nearly tumbled down the stairs from the second floor. One of her high heels flew off. Her legs trembled uncontrollably, and she had no idea how she even made it downstairs. The lobby was in utter chaos. Guests, sensing danger, scrambled to escape, and the saleswomen were a terrified mess.

"Call the police! Hurry, call the police!"

Yang Wei charged down. "Yan Xixi, you still dare to run!"

The knife flew through the air.

Just then, a blur flashed before Yang Wei’s eyes. Someone violently seized his arm and executed a leg sweep, sending him crashing to the ground before he could react.

Someone pinned him down firmly. "Brother-in-law, are you insane?"

Yan Xixi cowered behind Li Zhen, trembling uncontrollably.

Li Zhen was home on leave. Ever since reuniting with Yan Xixi, he had made it a habit to visit her store almost daily. He had arrived today only to encounter this horrifying scene. Fortunately, Yang Wei hadn’t anticipated a man rushing at him, which allowed Li Zhen’s kick to his thigh to send him sprawling.

Li Zhen held Yang Wei down tightly, while Yan Xixi kicked the knife far out of reach.

Yang Wei cursed loudly, "Li Zhen, what business is this of yours? Let me go!"

Li Zhen was furious. "In broad daylight, are you trying to commit murder and arson? Have you lost your mind?"

"What do you know? That bitch framed me! She set me up!"

Li Zhen kept a tight grip on Yang Wei. He saw the murderous glint in Yang Wei’s eyes and his frenzied state. Li Zhen knew that if he let go, Yang Wei would likely retaliate even more viciously. Noticing the crowd was petrified with fear, he said decisively, "Is there any rope? Bring some rope."

After a moment’s hesitation, Yan Xixi quickly fetched some packing rope from the store. Li Zhen, not caring if it was suitable, immediately used it to tie Yang Wei’s hands. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Yang Wei still struggled, but Yan Xixi shouted, "Hold him down!"

Two security guards, alerted by the commotion, rushed over and helped restrain Yang Wei.

Only then did the police finally arrive.

Yan Xixi had nearly collapsed from exhaustion, so Li Zhen answered all the questions.

The police reviewed the surveillance footage, took statements, and then escorted Yang Wei to a police car. Yang Wei yelled, "Li Zhen, you ungrateful brat, siding with that rotten woman! Do you think she’d ever marry you? She’s a shameless tramp with countless men! Don’t delude yourself. You’ll come to a bad end!"
