Bonus chapters 4/5
Realizing the police had arrived, Yao Bin’s face suddenly changed. He waved his knife desperately to retreat, shouting with a crazy look, “Where is Ye Boxuan? Let Ye Boxuan come. Both Ye Rongxu and I have explosives on our bodies. If he doesn’t come soon, I will die with his son.”
Qin Chaoyan’s face suddenly changed. He immediately laid Ye Rongxu flat, pillowed his head with his knees, and freed one hand to search the other’s body.
Chen Jiang stood up at the same time and searched with him.
The police who were pointing their guns at Yao Bin immediately became nervous and glanced at Qin Chaoyan and the other two.
Qin Chaoyan and Chen Jiang touched a square hard object on Ye Rongxu’s waist almost at the same time, and their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley instantly.
Chen Jiang, who had served as a soldier, recognized this thing and carefully lifted his clothes, then shook his head slightly.
Qin Chaoyan breathed a sigh of relief. His body almost lost balance, but he didn’t dare to show it too obviously.
After seeing the hints, the policemen also breathed a sigh of relief.
But they weren’t sure whether Yao Bin really had the bomb on him, so they dare not drop their guard. They tightened their hands holding the guns and warned Yao Bin: “Calm down; you’ll fall if you back off again.”
Yao Bin ignored them and still desperately waved his knife and stepped back, not letting anyone get close to him. He only shouted that he wanted to see Ye Boxuan.
Ye Boxuan staggered forward regardless of the police’s obstruction.
He could only see the figure of Yao Bin desperately waving his knife on the sixth floor and hurriedly shouted, “Yao Bin, what happened to your mother and your little sister wasn’t caused by me. I don’t know who’s instructing you, but you have been deceived by them. Please calm down.”
Apparently, in the time they spent talking to the police, they had already found out the real reason why Yao Bin kidnapped Ye Rongxu.
Yao Bin turned around to look at him and said, “It’s not you? At a time like this, of course you won’t admit it, but it doesn’t matter. Your son will soon be paying for your life, and you’ll soon be able to experience what it’s like to lose a loved one as well. It’s a pity that I liked him very much. As for who instructed me…”
He suddenly grinned and showed his usual smile while pressing his left hand to his waist at the same time.
The police thought he was going to detonate, so they immediately shot him in the left hand and then fired another shot, hitting his right hand holding the knife.
He staggered backward a step. After both his hands were rendered useless, he turned his head to look at the position where Ye Boxuan was standing below, suddenly leaned back, and fell down with an evil smile on his face.
Obviously, he thought that if he couldn’t kill Ye Rongxu, it would be better to fall down and kill Ye Boxuan.
The police below realized this at the same time and hurriedly grabbed Ye Boxuan, pulled him down, and shouted, “Lie down!”
“Bang!”
Yao Bin’s body fell heavily to the ground, and blood quickly flowed into the cracks of the bricks on the ground. However, one second, two seconds…
There was silence all around.
After a while, the captain of the criminal investigation team, who had knocked Ye Boxuan down, got up first, walked over cautiously to check, and said after a long time, “It was a self-made bomb, but it was unsuccessful.”
The people around him breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Chen Jiang on the sixth floor also removed the so-called bomb from Ye Rongxu’s waist and said, “This is fake. It’s just plastic.”
Ye Rongxu finally recovered after taking medicine. In addition, he just survived a disaster, so he hugged Qin Chaoyan tightly without thinking, and his tears fell on the other party’s neck.
“Woo, Qin Chaoyan, what took you so long? I, hic, I’m wearing the necklace woo……”
He sobbed and sobbed, looking pitiful, but his arms were particularly strong, holding Qin Chaoyan tightly.
Qin Chaoyan also hugged him tightly, patting his trembling back to comfort him: “It’s okay, it’s okay…”
As he said this, his own voice trembled lightly, as if he had lost all his strength, and he dropped to the floor.
Chen Jiang recovered the fastest and then reached out to take Ye Rongxu so that he could make room for Qin Chaoyan to bandage his wound.
Unexpectedly, Ye Rongxu had just gone through a thrilling experience, and when the tension in his mind relaxed, he cried and fainted from exhaustion.
Moreover, after fainting, he was still uneasy, and his arms were still tightly wrapped around Qin Chaoyan. Ye Boxuan, who rushed up from downstairs, couldn’t even pried him away.
Chen Jiang shook his head, tore off a piece of cloth, and bandaged Qin Chaoyan’s wound.

When Ye Rongxu woke up, he was already in the hospital.
Noticing that there was no one around him, he immediately fell into a state of anxiety and pressed the bedside bell in panic.
The nurse quickly came in, but his eyes were still terrified, and he asked in panic, “Where is Qin Chaoyan? Where is Qin Chaoyan?”
Then a group of people squeezed in. The front was the haggard Ye Boxuan, and the equally haggard and worried Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye.
Squeezed in the back were Qin Chaoyan, Lin Jiaojiao, the butler, the bodyguards, some relatives of the Ye family, and even the Qin family.
After seeing his father and grandparents, Ye Rongxu felt a little relieved, and then he looked eagerly at Qin Chaoyan at the back.
Perhaps because Qin Chaoyan had saved him, he felt inexplicably at ease when he saw the other party.
Of course, Chen Jiang was also one of his saviors, but Chen Jiang was behind him at that time, so he didn’t rely so much on him psychologically.
Ye Boxuan immediately understood, feeling sad and distressed, and made way for Qin Chaoyan to come over.
As soon as Qin Chaoyan walked to the bedside, Ye Rongxu held his hand tightly.
Because he had been frightened and almost didn’t get timely treatment, Ye Rongxu inevitably got sick at the moment. His face was pale, and his body seemed to be thinner than before. Under the quilt, there didn’t seem to be much of an arc.
He held Qin Chaoyan’s hand tightly; his slightly dry lips moved. He wanted to say something, but when he saw so many people in the ward, he remained silent.
Ye Boxuan noticed it and hurriedly said to others, “Xuxu is awake. He’s fine now. Everyone should go back first and let him have a good rest for a while.”
The crowd hurriedly said some caring words, lamenting and sobbing, and gradually left.
Ye Boxuan also stepped forward to touch Ye Rongxu’s head. His voice was tired and hoarse: “You should have a good rest first. Dad will be outside. Ring the bell if you need anything.”
Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye also anxiously reminded him: “And us, we’re all here for you.”
“And me, brother.” Lin Jiaojiao also added in a low voice.
She had obviously cried; her eyes were red and swollen.
Ye Rongxu forced a smile at them, and after everyone went out, he held Qin Chaoyan’s hand tightly again.
Qin Chaoyan had an injury on his hand, and it stung slightly after being squeezed.
Ye Rongxu noticed it and hurriedly let go, asking, “Is the injury serious? Does it hurt a lot?”
Qin Chaoyan looked at him and soon smiled. Tenderness emerged in his dark pupils when he whispered, “It’s not serious, just a minor injury. It’s no longer painful.”
“Oh.” Ye Rongxu nodded slightly, feeling uneasy for a moment, and then quietly grasped one of his fingers, as if doing this would make him feel safe.
“Then you, you…can you stay with me for a while?”
Perhaps frightened too much, he lifted his neck wrapped in gauze and looked at the other person with eyes full of vulnerability.
Qin Chaoyan’s heart softened inexplicably. He sat down beside the bed and whispered, “Okay.”
Ye Rongxu was instantly at ease, holding his hand, seemingly very relieved.
Although he had just woken up, he still felt tired; his body was particularly heavy, and soon he closed his eyes again.
Just after sleeping for a while, he woke up with panic and breathed rapidly.
Qin Chaoyan had been guarding outside the ward before, and he was a little tired at this moment. He almost fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. But he was suddenly awakened by Ye Rongxu and hurriedly got up to comfort him: “It’s okay, it’s safe here; don’t be afraid…”
Seeing that he was having difficulty breathing, he brought the oxygen mask close to him and then gently stroked his chest to soothe him.
When Ye Rongxu’s breathing gradually stabilized and his expression no longer panicked, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat down again.
After Ye Rongxu recovered, he finally noticed how fatigued Qin Chaoyan looked.
He looked at the time and found that it was already the next morning. It had been almost a day since the kidnapping yesterday afternoon.
Did Qin Chaoyan not rest for such a long time?
He clutched the other party’s fingers, and a warm current inexplicably flowed through his heart.
Noticing that Ye Rongxu had been staring blankly at himself, Qin Chaoyan thought he had some kind of need, so he asked, “Do you want to drink water?”
Ye Rongxu shook his head.
Qin Chaoyan hesitated for a moment and asked again, “Then…are you hungry? Or do you want to go to the toilet?”
Ye Rongxu blushed and shook his head again.
He looked at Qin Chaoyan’s tired but handsome face, knowing that he should let him rest, but…
He tightened and loosened his grip; his palms were sweating, and finally, the uneasiness in his heart prevailed.
He bit his lip, looked at Qin Chaoyan hesitantly, and said in a mosquito-like voice, “Do you want to rest on my bed?”
Qin Chaoyan was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he heard wrong or didn’t dare to believe what he had just heard. He quickly asked, “What?”
Ye Rongxu: “…”
He gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say, “I said, you look very tired; do you want to rest on my bed?”
This way Qin Chaoyan could rest, and he didn’t have to be afraid to stay alone, killing two birds with one stone.
But afraid that Qin Chaoyan would mistakenly think that his purpose wasn’t pure, he quickly explained: “My bed is quite big.”
The bed in the VIP room is definitely not small.
