Chapter 582 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (61)
When Yu Yanfei opened the trunk and saw the two cans of gasoline that had been overturned by the bumpy ride, his heart nearly stopped.
He could already imagine what would have happened to him if Yan Zhen hadn't made that call.
When he reached the bend, he discovered that the brakes had failed and the car plunged down the mountain. Even if he had been lucky enough to survive the rollover accident, those two cans of gasoline would have been fatal.
Gao Shenghan left him absolutely no way out!
Yu Yanfei was breathing rapidly and trembling as he pulled out his phone to call one of his underlings, asking him to come and pick him up.
But as soon as the call connected, a beam of headlights shone from behind.
Yu Yanfei subconsciously turned around, only to be blinded by the car headlights.
Once his eyes adjusted to the brightness of the headlights, he squinted and looked through the windshield, meeting the gaze of Gao Shenghan, whose face was filled with gloom.
Upon seeing the murderous intent in Gao Shenghan's eyes, Yu Yanfei subconsciously took two steps back.
As Gao Shenghan opened the car door and got out, walking towards him with a baseball bat in hand, Yu Yanfei spoke rapidly to his underling on the other end of the phone: "I'm at Red Leaf Manor. That bastard Gao Shenghan is trying to kill me. Come save me right now!"
After saying that, Yu Yanfei took off running, bracing himself on the fence, his chubby body nimbly leaping over the fence and disappearing into the woods in a flash.
Gao Shenghan had a car, so Yu Yanfei dared not run along the mountain road; if Gao Shenghan caught him, he would only face certain death.
There might be a glimmer of hope if they ventured down these narrow, inaccessible roads.
Behind him, Gao Shenghan saw Yu Yanfei disappear into the alley and thought to himself, "This is bad."
Now that Yu Yanfei knows he intends to kill him, if he escapes from here tonight, he will definitely seek revenge.
Gao Shenghan gripped the baseball bat tightly and chased after him.
Yu Yanfei had neglected his exercise over the years, and tonight he had been drinking. With Gao Shenghan, who was threatening his life, behind him, he was panicked and anxious. After running for a while, he gradually lost his strength, tripped over something, and fell forward, his face hitting the ground hard, his mouth and face covered in blood.
Behind him, Gao Shenghan's footsteps grew closer and closer.
Yu Yanfei was so shocked that he couldn't catch his breath. He turned his head and glanced around, quickly took off his conspicuous white shirt, hid it in the grass, then picked up a stone and hid behind a clump of waist-high weeds.
Gao Shenghan had been chasing after Yu Yanfei all the way here, only wanting to catch him quickly and get rid of him here, and he didn't even notice that Yu Yanfei was hiding in the bushes.
As Gao Shenghan walked through the bushes, Yu Yanfei suddenly jumped up while holding a stone and smashed it into the back of his head.
Gao Shenghan was hit so hard that he fell to the ground.
Yu Yanfei seized the opportunity to pounce on Gao Shenghan and try to snatch the baseball bat from his hand.
But Gao Shenghan, who had fallen to the ground, turned around and swung the baseball bat heavily at Yan Fei's head.
Yu Yanfei suddenly felt dizzy and almost lost his balance.
Both of them were injured.
Even after ambushing Gao Shenghan, Yu Yanfei knew he was no match for Gao Shenghan, who worked out regularly. He had little chance of winning in a direct confrontation and might even die there.
Thinking of this, Yu Yanfei steadied himself and fled.
Perhaps it was the impending death that triggered Yu Yanfei's survival instinct; he scrambled and crawled down the mountain, and Gao Shenghan couldn't catch up with him.
As Yu Yanfei rushed down the mountain onto the road, he nearly crashed into a car.
Upon realizing that the person in the driver's seat was his underling who had come to rescue him, Yu Yanfei quickly jumped to the passenger side, opened the door, and shouted, "Let's go!"
The driver was startled by the shout and immediately turned the car around, stepped on the gas, and drove away.
Behind him, Gao Shenghan, who was following closely behind, felt a chill in his heart as he watched the car speed away.
It’s over.
In the car, Yu Yanfei didn't lean back in the passenger seat and gasp for breath until he was sure he had shaken off Gao Shenghan.
The younger brother asked timidly, "Boss, shall we take you to the hospital?"
Yu Yanfei was about to scold him for being so tactless. He was so badly injured, was he supposed to go to the funeral home instead of the hospital?
But as he was about to speak, he remembered the phone call Yan Zhen had made to him.
"Don't go to the hospital, go to the Yan family's house."
Yan family.
Yan's parents went to bed early, and before 11:30, the whole manor was already quiet.
The tranquility was soon shattered by the urgent honking of horns.
The housekeeper made an internal call to Yan Zhen: "Miss, a man covered in blood has come to the door. He says he wants to see you and your husband and wife. He has something to tell you about the young master."
Yan Zhen, who hadn't slept, said upon hearing this, "I'll go down now."
Soon, Yan's parents also woke up. When the three of them went downstairs, Yu Yanfei had already been brought in by the bodyguards and was sitting on the living room floor, panting heavily.
When Yan's mother saw that he was covered in blood, she frowned and hid behind Yan's father: "Who is this?"
Yan's father then looked at Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen asked with concern, "How did it get like this?"
Yu Yanfei wiped the blood from his eyelids: "Miss Yan, your reminder saved my life. That bastard Gao Shenghan really wanted to kill me."
Upon hearing Gao Shenghan's name, both Yan's parents were taken aback.
Yan's father asked, "What happened?"
Yu Yanfei took the tissue Yan Zhen handed him, covered the wound on his forehead and said, "Gao Shenghan owes more than a billion yuan in high-interest loans from gambling. I am his friend and also the guarantor for the high-interest loans."
When this bombshell dropped, Yan's parents were stunned.
Yan Zhen also showed a surprised expression at the right time.
Yu Yanfei asked, "Miss Yan, you didn't know about this?"
Yan Zhen shook his head: "He never told me..."
Yu Yanfei smiled coldly: "Over the years, Gao Shenghan has taken all the money from you for 'investment and business' and used it all to pay off gambling debts. I heard that Miss Yan wants to divorce him? If he divorces you, no one will be there to bail him out, so he plans to set a trap to kill your whole family. Then he can use his status as Gao Xinyu's heir to take over all of the Yan family's assets."
Upon hearing this, Yan's mother covered her mouth in surprise, while Yan's father's face turned ashen.
"Didn't he suggest having a 'farewell dinner' with you a few days ago, and even set the location at Red Leaf Manor? He originally planned a car accident, hoping to take you all down on the mountain road to Red Leaf Manor, but Miss Yan didn't want to deal with him, so his plan failed."
Seeing the increasingly ugly expressions on the Yan family's faces, Yu Yanfei took out his phone and unleashed his last trump card, "Moreover, Miss Yan, Gao Shenghan has already betrayed you. He not only gambles, but also frequents prostitutes."
Yan Zhen took the phone and watched the video of Gao Shenghan hanging out with a female model with his parents.
Yan's mother was so angry that her chest heaved violently, while Yan's father calmed down and looked at Yan Zhen thoughtfully.
Yan Zhen returned the phone to Yu Yanfei and was about to say something when the nanny's voice came from the direction of the stairs: "Young Master, what are you doing here instead of sleeping?"
Yan Zhen, Yan's parents, and others looked up together. Gao Xinyu, holding a cotton doll given to him by Yan Heng, stood on the spiral staircase with tears welling up in his eyes.
