The Malevolent Female Villain Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 135

Zhen Kechuan had secretly provided the Ye Family with the test report, and for several consecutive days he had been going out early and returning late. Ye Junwen had thought that Zhen Kechuan had set his sights on some treasure he was scouting.

It wasn't until last night when Zhen Kechuan brought Ye Jinmeng in that Ye Junwen realized Zhen Kechuan had been monitoring the Ye Family's every move, waiting for the right opportunity to bring Ye Jinmeng back.

Ye Junwen was both shocked and elated. When Zhen Kechuan told him that Ye Jinmeng had learned about her identity and fainted from crying in the street, he was almost heartbroken. He vowed to take good care of Jinmeng from then on and never let her suffer again.

"Jinmeng, you'll stay here obediently from now on. This place is very safe, and no one will hurt you anymore."

Ye Jinmeng's heart sank. Was her little uncle planning to imprison her here?

"Little uncle..."

"Shh! Jinmeng, don't call me little uncle anymore. Call me by my name."

Ye Junwen stared intensely at her, making Ye Jinmeng's hair stand on end.

"I... I..."

Ye Junwen knew that Ye Jinmeng wouldn't be able to change so quickly, so he took a step back and said, "I won't force you for now. Let you get used to it for a few days... five days. After five days, you must call me by my name, understand?"

Seeing Ye Junwen's threatening gaze, Ye Jinmeng knew she couldn't provoke him now, so she could only nod obediently while thinking of how to escape.

"Little uncle, where's my phone?" Ye Jinmeng probed.

Ye Junwen's face stiffened. "Jinmeng, I've confiscated your phone. You can do anything here, but you absolutely cannot contact the outside world. Do you understand?"

Ye Jinmeng felt her little uncle's gaze was like a venomous snake about to attack, making her shudder in fear. She forced back her tears and quickly nodded.

"I... I understand."

Ye Junwen patted her head with satisfaction. "Good girl. Feeling hungry? Go wash your face, and I'll take you downstairs for a meal."

Downstairs in the living room, Ye Jinmeng didn't dare raise her head, only daring to glance around the corners with her peripheral vision.

"Jinmeng, this is your Uncle Zhen. Quick, greet him."

Ye Jinmeng clenched her fingers into her clothes, slowly raising her head. An expressionless face appeared before her, the man's gloomy eyes fixated on her.

Seeing the legendary thief for the first time, Ye Jinmeng was so scared that she immediately lowered her head and nervously called out, "Uncle... Uncle Zhen."

Zhen Kechuan disliked dealing with whiny girls, simply responding with a cold "Hmm" before falling silent again.

Ye Junwen smiled reassuringly, "Jinmeng, don't be nervous. Your Uncle Zhen is just like that, don't mind him.

Alright, sit down and eat. Everything was made by your Uncle Zhen, and it tastes great. Quick, try some!"

Ye Junwen pulled out a chair, and under his expectant gaze, Ye Jinmeng slowly sat down. Despite the delicious dishes on the table, she had no appetite at all.

Ye Junwen served Ye Jinmeng the dishes himself. Although she had no appetite, Ye Jinmeng mechanically finished every bite to avoid angering the two men at the table.

After the meal, Ye Jinmeng held back her nausea and returned to her room. As soon as she closed the door, she rushed to the bathroom and vomited violently until she was dizzy.

She wanted to cry, but knew it was pointless, forcibly swallowing her tears.

All she could do was pray that her parents and brother would find her soon, but deep down she knew that even the police had been unable to locate her little uncle and his accomplices for so long, so there was no way they could find her so quickly.

Ye Jinmeng gazed at the dense forest outside the window, her heart bitter. Her little uncle had clearly captured her as a hostage. If the police came, they would prioritize the hostage's safety and not act rashly.

Moreover, this place was undoubtedly more familiar to her little uncle and Zhen Kechuan than to her. She had no way to escape. Even if she did manage to escape, she would likely be recaptured soon, possibly angering her little uncle and Zhen Kechuan and getting her legs broken.

What was she supposed to do?

On the other hand, after Policeman Shi told Ye Jinchen and the Ye Family that Ye Jinmeng had likely been taken by Zhen Kechuan, everyone remained anxious throughout the night.

Ye Jinchen remained relatively calm, putting together everything that had happened these past few days. "All of this was probably arranged by our little uncle."

Gu Qi burst into tears. "Jinmeng, is Jinmeng in danger? After all, Ye Junwen did try to harm you two siblings before."

"Mom, Dad, if I'm not mistaken, our little uncle has feelings for Jinmeng that go beyond familial love!"

Ye Junli was shocked, unable to believe it. "What are you saying? You can't just say something like that, Jinchen!" How could an uncle possibly have such feelings for his own niece?

Ye Jinchen knew his father wouldn't believe him, and he couldn't explain that it was just his intuition, as that would sound too far-fetched. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Dad, you can check little uncle's personal belongings at home, see if there are any diaries or anything. I have a feeling I'm not wrong about this."

Shi Shuning stepped forward and clenched his fists. "Uncle, as a man, I can clearly tell that the way Ye Junwen looks at Jinmeng is definitely not just a familial gaze."

Ye Junli involuntarily stepped back, barely steadied by Xu Wanwan. Gu Qi collapsed into a chair, covering her face as she sobbed softly.

"Dad, I'm telling you this only because I want you and Mom to know that little uncle probably won't harm Jinmeng, at least not put her life in immediate danger. I believe Jinmeng is smart enough to protect herself. Our main priority now is to fully cooperate with the police and help them locate their position as soon as possible. We mustn't lose our composure."

The police were also struggling. Ever since Zhen Kechuan had helped Ye Junwen escape, they had been searching for the two men's hideout.

They had sent several teams to search in all directions from the place where their trail had gone cold, but the leads had been sporadic at best, mostly just distractions.

Zhen Kechuan's methods were highly skilled, and every time the police thought they had found the hideout, they were dealt a harsh blow, led in circles by the cunning thief.

Now, due to the kidnapping of a hostage, the police have rushed to the area near where the car in the surveillance video disappeared and are conducting a search overnight. They have only found the black car abandoned by the roadside, but there are still no other leads.

Policeman Shi was utterly infuriated. He vowed that once he caught Zhen Kechuan, he would give him a good beating first, and any punishment would be secondary!

Ye Jinmeng sat on the edge of the bed, pondering how to make her uncle lower his guard so she could get her hands on a phone. As long as she had a phone, she would have a chance to contact the outside world.

However, the most important thing now was to familiarize herself with the entire house. Luckily, her uncle hadn't restricted her movements, so she could go and explore where there might be a way to escape or a hiding place.

That way, if any danger arose, she wouldn't be running around like a headless fly.

With that thought, Ye Jinmeng got up, opened the door, and headed downstairs.
