Pure Love Imprisoned: My Ex-Boyfriend, Who Blamed Me, Imprisoned Me in Love

After only a brief meeting with He Jingjun, He Duoye returned to the hotel with his men.

On the way, Li Mingshao shared the information he had gathered, and it was at this time that Lin Mian finally understood the aftermath of the situation.

After the driver was killed, He Zhengchuan and He Jingjun were attacked. However, the thugs did not target the two men; they kidnapped them and carried out an explosion to cover their tracks.

He Zhengchuan's whereabouts are still unknown. He Jingjun broke free from her restraints on the way, jumped out of the car and escaped. She then hid and fled until midnight when she finally contacted her people and was taken to the hospital.

"She doesn't know He Zhengchuan's current situation, nor did she see the thug's face clearly," Li Mingshao said. "But she will definitely identify you as the mastermind behind it all, Brother Ye."

He Duoye leaned back in his chair, saying nonchalantly, "No evidence is slander."

Lin Mian was amazed by what she saw.

However, that's true; without evidence, no amount of explanation will change that.

However, the thought that He Duoye's father would arrive in a few hours filled Lin Mian with inexplicable tension and fear. In her imagination, He Duoye's father would be the kind of sinister old man who looked extremely frightening.

Lin Mian was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it. What if he sent ten or eight muscular men to kidnap her and then threaten He Duoye to kneel down and beg for mercy?

Thinking of this, Lin Mian suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to bring her gun when she left home in such a hurry.

Looks like I'll have to keep a gun on my waist every day from now on.

He Jingjun said that her father would arrive early in the morning, but by 3 p.m., Lin Mian had not seen the old man show up.

After running around almost all night, Lin Mian slept until after 1 p.m. when she got back to the hotel. He Duoye, on the other hand, had gotten up much earlier, but he also stayed in the hotel.

After lunch, it was already past three o'clock. According to the information provided by Wenya, He's father had arrived early in the morning and had been at the hospital the whole time.

He Duoye remained nonchalant and unhurried, yet he still put on a show by hiring dozens of people to search for He Zhengchuan's whereabouts.

The people he brought with him all went to the gold mining area with him yesterday. He turned back halfway, and the remaining people, half of them came to find him, while the other half went straight back to the base camp. The two sisters, Mei and Li, were among them.

By the time Mr. He called, it was already evening.

Lin Mian and He Duoye were having dinner at a restaurant when He Duoye put the phone on speakerphone because Lin Mian was curious.

He's father's voice was hoarse and aged, and he spoke very slowly, with a drawn-out, unhurried, and coldly oppressive tone, the tone of a tyrant who had long held a high position and was used to giving orders.

"If I don't come looking for you, won't you come to see me?"

He Duoye didn't seem to be affected at all, cutting his steak as he said, "I'm busy looking for my brother. He's gone missing, and you all probably think I did it. I have to find him to prove my innocence, otherwise I'll be falsely accused for no reason, and that would be too unfair."

After saying that, He Duoye noticed that Lin Mian was staring at him blankly. He picked up a piece of steak and stuffed it into her mouth. Seeing her hurriedly cover her mouth, he couldn't help but laugh.

He's father's voice rang out again: "If you are innocent, you can explain to me in person, and I will believe you, Duoye."

He was shrewd and composed, completely unaffected by He Duoye's infuriating remarks.

When are you coming to the hospital to see me?

He Duoye said, "Let's wait until I find my younger brother."

Father He's voice remained cold and calm as he asked, "Where's Jixiang? Why has he also gone missing?"

"I don't know," He Duoye said lazily, sounding quite irritating. "Maybe they eloped with He Zhengchuan, which is why we can't find them."

The other end of the phone went silent instantly; the oppressive atmosphere seemed to seep through the phone.

The usually shrewd and composed Mr. He was so angry that he hung up the phone.

He Duoye ignored his phone and calmly continued eating.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Lin Mian asked, "Uncle Jixiang is gone too?"

He Duoye hummed in agreement, paused for half a second, and then said, "He was probably accidentally injured and died somewhere."

As he said this, he slowly raised his eyes, watching Lin Mian's reaction without making a sound.

Lin Mian was shocked, and also felt some pity and regret.

He Duoye withdrew his gaze and slowly told Lin Mian about Uncle Jixiang's "glorious deeds" when he was young.

Young Uncle Jixiang was a drug dealer who sold drugs and lent money at exorbitant interest rates. He would do anything to collect debts, and his hands were stained with blood.

Later, his own son also became addicted to drugs. One day, when he was in a daze due to drug use, he was tied up and his flesh was cut off piece by piece until he died. The murderer's son was addicted to the drugs sold by Uncle Jixiang, borrowed money from Uncle Jixiang at high interest rates, and eventually sold his wife and daughter.

When Uncle Jixiang discovered his son was dead, he chopped up the entire family of the murderer. After that, he gave up drug trafficking and became He's father's henchman. He handled all sorts of dirty work for He's father and gradually rose through the ranks.

If it weren't for monitoring He Duoye, he would be the head of some region by now.

The restaurant is on the first floor; turn the corner and walk through the lobby to reach the hotel's elevator area.

Because of the hotel's high prices, there weren't many guests; only a handful of people were in the lobby lounge. The elevator slowly descended from the upper floor and then stopped in the middle.

Lin Mian waited for the elevator, feeling a bit bored. She had lost her phone and suitcase together. Her new phone was still on its way, but the SIM card would take some time to arrive.

She turned to look at He Duoye beside her.

He was tall and muscular, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs; even just sitting there casually, he was a sight to behold. He was absentmindedly watching the elevator numbers slowly ticking and then stopping at a certain floor.

Lin Mian was bored and wanted to say something, but He Duoye suddenly frowned and his whole aura tensed up, making Lin Mian's heart skip a beat.

He Duoye pulled Lin Mian's hand and made her stay behind him, while turning around to look at her.

The lobby has a large glass wall and the sliding door is always open. A very tall man walked in, wearing a black T-shirt and showing off his two muscular, tattooed arms.

He was covered in tattoos, extending all the way to his neck, and his hair was shaved very short. His face and aura were both sharp and dangerous. He walked quickly and aggressively, heading straight for He Duoye. He asked in the local dialect, "Where's my dad?"

He was referring to Uncle Connor.

He Duoye's expression turned completely cold: "How would I know?"

The man didn't say anything more. He stepped forward and tried to grab He Duoye's collar. The two started fighting the next moment.

This man was as fierce and capable as he looked. The second after He Duoye knocked him down, he used his legs to clamp He Duoye down and twisted his waist to throw He Duoye to the ground.

The two fought like they were on the set of an action movie, with clear thuds when their fists collided.

Seeing that something was wrong, the receptionist quickly picked up the landline and called for help.

In this scene, the elevator doors opened silently, and a pair of hands reached out from inside, grabbing Lin Mian and pulling her into the elevator before anyone could react.
