After swapping bodies, I became a domineering CEO in a melodramatic novel.

Chapter 189 What brings you here?!

Yu Yuetong knew that Qin Reng must be very worried and angry right now, but she was even more worried about whether this matter was related to the original work.

"Qin Reng..." Yu Yuetong called out to him cautiously, "You...you need to calm down..."

"Calm down?" Qin Reng suddenly turned to look at her, his eyes so cold they seemed to freeze her. "My mother has been kidnapped, how can you expect me to calm down?!"

Yu Yuetong took a step back, startled by his gaze, but she still mustered her courage and said, "I know you're anxious, but you need to understand the situation. Don't act impulsively! It's too dangerous for you to go alone, what if..."

"There's no 'what if'!" Qin Reng interrupted her, his tone resolute. "I must go save my mother!"

After saying that, he strode away without looking back, leaving Yu Yuetong alone in the empty office.

Yu Yuetong watched Qin Reng's resolute back as he walked away, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She knew she couldn't let him go on this risk alone, but what could she do?

Yu Yuetong's heart was pounding, like a restless rabbit darting wildly in her chest. Qin Reng's face was terrifyingly gloomy, as if shrouded in a layer of frost, making her shiver involuntarily.

"Why did the kidnappers kidnap your mother?" Yu Yuetong asked cautiously, afraid that she might accidentally ignite a powder keg.

"How should I know?!" Qin Reng slammed his fist on the table, making the documents on it jump. "Those bastards, if I catch them, I'll make them wish they were dead!"

Yu Yuetong shrank back, not daring to utter another word. She knew that saying anything now would be useless; Qin Reng was furious, and any attempt to calm him down would only backfire.

A silence hung between them, like solidified air, suffocating them. Yu Yuetong secretly glanced at Qin Reng; his taut jawline and sinister eyes silently spoke of his anger and worry.

"You..." Yu Yuetong bit her lip, finally unable to hold back any longer, "What do you plan to do?"

Qin Reng suddenly looked up at her, his eyes sharp as knives. "What else can we do? Of course, we have to save my mother!"

“But…” Yu Yuetong wanted to say something more, but Qin Reng impatiently interrupted her, “No buts, you’re not involved in this matter!”

As he spoke, he grabbed his coat and walked out. When he reached the door, he paused but did not turn around. He simply said coldly, "If you're afraid of getting into trouble, just pretend you were never here."

After saying that, he turned and left, slamming the door behind him.

Yu Yuetong stood there, stunned, her heart filled with mixed emotions, unable to describe the feeling. Of course, she was afraid of causing trouble, but she was even more afraid that something would happen to Qin Reng.

She wasn't a saint, nor was she some chivalrous heroine bursting with a sense of justice; she was just an ordinary person who wanted to live a peaceful life. However, fate played a cruel joke on her, transmigrating her into this melodramatic and tragic novel, making her an insignificant cannon fodder female supporting character in the male lead's life.

She tried hard to break free from the original plot and change her fate, but why did things always go against her wishes?

Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, trying to suppress the surging emotions in her heart. No, she couldn't just sit and wait to die! Qin Reng was furious right now and would definitely act impulsively; she had to find a way to stop him!

Thinking of this, Yu Yuetong no longer hesitated, grabbed her bag, and hurriedly chased after him.

……

The abandoned factory in the suburbs was eerie and terrifying, like a monster waiting to devour its prey, silently lurking in the night.

Following the kidnappers' instructions, Qin Reng arrived at the factory gate alone. He threw a black backpack on the ground, inside which was the ransom demanded by the kidnappers—a full fifty million in cash.

"I have done as you asked. Now, release my mother!" Qin Reng said coldly to the empty factory gate, his voice filled with suppressed rage.

After a chilling silence, the factory gates slowly opened, and a rough, hoarse voice came from inside, "Very good, President Qin is indeed a man of his word."

Qin Reng stared warily at the factory gate, gripping the pistol hidden behind his back. He didn't know what the kidnappers were up to, but he was prepared for the worst.

A burly man emerged from the shadows, wearing a black mask that revealed only his sinister and ruthless eyes.

"I've brought the money. Now, can you release my mother?" Qin Reng asked coldly, his tone devoid of any compromise.

The man didn't speak, but clapped his hands. Then, two men, both wearing black masks, escorted a woman out of the factory.

The woman's hair was disheveled, her face was covered in wounds, and her clothes were torn; she looked extremely disheveled.

"Mom!" Qin Reng recognized his mother, Han Shuang, at a glance. His eyes widened in fury, and he wished he could rush up and tear the kidnappers to pieces.

"Don't come any closer!" Han Shuang saw Qin Reng and immediately struggled agitatedly, but was held down firmly by the kidnappers behind her.

"If you want her to live, you'd better obey!" the man said menacingly. "Throw the gun over here!"

Qin Reng hesitated for a moment. He knew that now was not the time to act impulsively. For his mother's safety, he had to compromise for the time being.

He took a deep breath, slowly raised his pistol, and was about to throw it when suddenly, a screeching sound of brakes came from outside the factory. Immediately afterward, several black cars roared in, their headlights like the eyes of beasts, instantly illuminating the entire night sky.

"What's going on?!" The man's expression changed, and he roared.

Before he could react, the car door opened, and a group of men in black suits and sunglasses filed out of the car. They were well-trained and quickly surrounded the factory.

Before Qin Reng could react to what was happening, he felt a soft body fall into his arms.

"Qin Reng, are you alright?" A familiar voice, trembling slightly, rang in his ears.

Qin Reng looked down and saw Yu Yuetong hugging him tightly, her face full of worry and anxiety.

"Why are you here?!" Qin Reng asked in surprise, his tone carrying a hint of gentleness.

"I..." Yu Yuetong realized what she had done and quickly let go of her hand, her pretty face slightly flushed. "I... I was afraid something would happen to you, so I..."

She tried to explain incoherently, but she didn't know how to explain why she was there.

"I'm fine." Qin Reng felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he looked at her flustered appearance. He reached out and touched her hair, his tone gentler than ever before, "Don't worry."

Yu Yuetong stared at him blankly, momentarily forgetting to react.

At this moment, a tall man walked up to Qin Reng and bowed respectfully. "President Qin, we are late, please forgive us!"

"Who are you...?" Qin Reng asked, looking at the unfamiliar man in front of him.
