Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion

“I would like to see just how capable he is of taking her away.”

A cryptic smile crept across his face. “Isn’t her husband abroad?”

Yu Lingfeng retorted, “Husband? He’s not fit to be one!”

If the stream hadn’t carried her into the estate, would this husband of hers, who’s currently overseas, have been able to bear the responsibility if she were to experience a mishap?

Without our timely rescue, would this husband have been able to save her life? What was he even doing when his wife got kidnapped and framed? If it’s dangerous for her to be by his side, why didn’t he make proper arrangements to ensure his wife’s safety before he left?

“Young Master, there’s a group of people outside wishing to enter the manor.”

Bo Jinyan rose to his feet and picked up the coat that was draped over the chair. “I got it.”

“Come on. Shall we go take a good look at this husband of hers?” he asked his friend with a smirk.

Yu Lingfeng got up and unrolled his sleeves. He wanted to see just what that man looked like!

Boom!

The rain was getting heavier by the minute. Standing outside the manor was a group of men in black holding umbrellas.

Creak…

The main entrance opened to reveal the estate owner, who was slowly walking outside with an umbrella in hand and an entourage of bodyguards in tow.

“I apologize for the disturbance, sir!” said the leading bodyguard in black solemnly.

“What are you all—”

“Did an outsider enter your manor yesterday?”

Yu Lingfeng shot that bodyguard a look of disdain. Huh. So, this is Ruoruo’s so-called husband? She’s got a poor taste in men!

Bo Jinyan spoke up and asked, “What outsider?”

“Sorry, sir, but the river carried someone important into your estate.”

“So what? Are you telling me that you’re intending to enter my land and conduct a search?”

“We’re looking for someone.” The bodyguard corrected himself and then politely added, “We would like your permission to look for this person within your estate.”

“Since it’s someone important, shouldn’t your boss be the one coming to look for that person?” he commented lightly.

His friend frowned in distaste. That man has only sent his people to look for his wife?

The bodyguard was stumped for words for a while before he said again, “Please allow us to come in.”

“My manor isn’t a place random people can enter. Get your boss to come over.”

The bodyguards exchanged tacit glances with one another. They had been given orders not to offend the estate owner, so all they could do now was…

The leader of the pack took out his phone to call Bo Yu, only to realize that there was no signal in the area at all.

“Inform Bo Yu that the owner isn’t cooperating.”

The comrade beside him immediately made his way back after receiving that order.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Jing Xinze and his men demanded the release of his princess from Bo Yu and attempted to move Lin Jingxuan away. Neither side was willing to give up, so the two parties soon got into a scuffle.

Soon, a large batch of people swarmed into the chaotic hospital. They were Bo Yu’s men. After receiving the message that he was needed on the other side, he left his men there to settle this trivial matter and he headed to the private estate. There was no point in staying there any longer since he would not be able to hear anything from the horse’s mouth. Lin Jingxuan was in a weak, unstable condition despite gaining consciousness. Finding his young madam before his boss returned the next day was his utmost priority. Still, he naturally could not allow Lin Jingxuan to fall into the hands of others either, for the man was just courting death by wreaking havoc in their territory!

Back at the private estate, the bodyguards were again shut outside the main gates. Bo Jinyan and the others had already retreated into the house to take shelter from the rain by the time Bo Yu arrived.

“Find a way to open these gates,” he ordered.

“Yes, sir.”

Just as they were preparing to pry the gates open, the two shutter gates slowly creaked open.

“I’ll give you guys an hour to find whoever you’re looking for, but please speed up and leave as soon as possible if you’re unable to find that person. Don’t make a din and don’t disturb our young master’s rest time.”

“Excuse us for the intrusion. May I ask where the lakes in your estate are? Can someone lead the way there?”

The maid nodded. “Please follow me.”

The entire estate was brightly lit, as all the lights were switched on. Batch by batch, the bodyguards stepped foot onto the private grounds and conducted a large-scale search by following the orders of their leader. The commotion in the quiet night startled everyone in the estate awake.

“What’s happening outside?” asked Ye Erruo.

“Our young master has lost something of great importance, so we’re currently combing through the manor in search of that item.”
