Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 85 The Girl is Missing

Nan Wu recalled their earlier frenzy, and her ears involuntarily burned. Compared to Xiao Shen, she was practically an innocent little girl. Despite having slept with him so many times, she still blushed easily. Unlike him, who remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

"Fourth Uncle, we've already tried it out. How did your test go?" Xiao Jiayang asked in a fawning tone.

"It feels...very good!" Xiao Shen raised an eyebrow, his meaningful gaze sweeping over Nan Wu, as if he were speaking to her directly.

At first glance, it seems harmless, but upon closer listening, every word is laced with sarcasm.

How could someone as shallow as Xiao Jiayang possibly understand the words of a cunning old fox like Xiao Shen?
Nan Wu suddenly felt a little sorry for Xiao Jiayang!

After a respectful farewell, Xiao Jiayang left with Nan Wu. Just as they got into the car, Nan Wu's phone beeped with a message.

Upon seeing the photo Xiao Shen sent, Nan Wu's face flushed as if it had been boiled in hot water. Without waiting for anything, she quickly deleted it.

He actually slapped the fitting room floor; the shimmering substance there looked like a label of debauchery, nailed firmly to her.

Xiao Shen, you pervert!
……

With only one week left until the wedding, Nanwu is neither looking forward to it nor opposed to it, unlike other brides-to-be.

She could see her grandmother as soon as she married Xiao Jiayang.

As the car entered the underground parking garage, Nan Wu got out carrying her handbag. Suddenly, a dark figure darted out from the side and pounced on her.

"Who?"

Almost reflexively, Nanwu grabbed her bag and threw it at the other person.

"It's me, Mr. Nan, it's me..."

Hearing the other person's trembling voice filled with fear, Nanwu calmed down and took a closer look.

"Secretary Chen?"

Chen Ruyu gripped her arm tightly, her voice trembling and her entire body shaking, "President Nan, please, save me! They're trying to arrest me..."

As she spoke, she looked around with lingering fear, and Nanwu saw terror and panic in her eyes.

Nan Wu frowned. "Explain clearly, what exactly happened?"

Chen Ruyu forced herself to calm down. "I was on my way to the magazine office this morning to expose Nan Dongxue, but I was stopped on the way by several people. They dragged me into a car, and I ran away halfway, but they caught up with me very quickly!"

"It must be Nan Dongxue! He wanted to stop me from being exposed, so he sent people to arrest me! I already gave him a chance, but he didn't cherish it. It's not my fault; he has to pay the price!" Chen Ruyu became more and more agitated as she spoke, her eyes filled with hatred. She tightly gripped Nan Wu's hand. "President Nan, I beg you to save me! It doesn't matter if I'm in trouble, but I have a daughter who needs someone to take care of her. Please, help me!"

Seeing that Chen Ruyu was about to kneel down, Nan Wu had an indescribable feeling in her heart. Indeed, apart from Nan Dongxue, no one else would do such a thing.

She knew how ruthless Nan Dongxue was.

"Stop talking, get in the car first!" Nan Wu opened the car door without saying a word.

Just then, a silver minivan drove into the garage. Chen Ruyu, like a startled bird, pointed and shouted, "It's them! They found me!"

Nan Wu floored the accelerator, and the car sped up on the road, with the van relentlessly chasing after it.

Running like this wasn't a solution, so Nanwu had a sudden idea. She swerved the steering wheel and drove the car towards the urban village area, where the narrow roads were intricate and illegal structures were everywhere. People unfamiliar with the area could easily get lost.

It just so happens that Nanwu had recently taken on a project here, and she was quite familiar with the roads. The car made several turns and weaved through the narrow alleys, and soon the van disappeared from sight.

Nan Wu drove to a very secluded place and found a hotel for Chen Ruyu to stay in. "No ID registration is required here, so they shouldn't be able to find you so quickly!"

"Wait!" Chen Ruyu called out to her. "President Nan, I'm worried about my daughter. Could you take me to the hospital to see her? I promise, just one look. I'll be at ease as long as she's safe and sound!"

Nanwu agreed to her request.

But to their utter surprise, they were a step too late.

Seeing the empty bed, Chen Ruyu panicked and stopped a nurse to ask, "Where is the little girl in this bed?"

The nurse glanced at her and said, "Oh, a few people just picked her up; they said she's their relative!"

Chen Ruyu's vision went black, and her body fell backward. Nan Wu caught her.

"That's my child. Why didn't you notify me when someone else took her away? Why? If something happens to her, who will be responsible?"

Chen Ruyu, unlike her usual gentle self, now resembled an enraged wild beast, her neck stiff as she angrily questioned him.

The nurse was terrified by her frightening appearance. "I already said she's your relative. We're so busy, who has time to ask? Besides, why aren't you, as a family member, here? If you're not responsible, who is?"

"You...you give me back my daughter, give me back my daughter..." Chen Ruyu screamed desperately, lunging forward to grab the nurse and shaking her violently.

Nan Wu finally managed to stop her, saying, "Chen Ruyu, instead of wasting time here, you should find the child sooner!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ruyu paused, as if suddenly waking up. When she turned around, her eyes were terrifyingly bloodthirsty.

"It's all your fault, not a single one of you is any good. My daughter is so young and so adorable. What did she do wrong? If you have any problems, come at me instead of her. Why did you hurt her?"

She gripped Nan Wu's arm tightly, her eyes blazing with fury, as if she were about to destroy the world at any moment.

Nan Wu understood her pain, so she wasn't angry at her offense. "Secretary Chen, calm down. Now is not the time for you to hold people accountable. The most important thing is to find the child!"

Chen Ruyu suddenly woke up with a start, "Yes, find the child, find the child, I have to find the child!"

As he spoke, he ran out, and Nan Wu couldn't stop him in time.

Nan's Company.

"President Nan, the chairman is inside discussing work. You cannot go in now, President Nan..."

Bang!
Nan Wu ignored him and barged into the reception room.

The people inside were startled and looked up.

"I have something to talk to you about!"

"What's wrong with you? Can't you see we're discussing business? Get out of here!" Nan Dongxue scolded angrily, then winked at Nan Wu before turning back with a forced smile. "President Cao, this is my daughter. I've spoiled her rotten since she was little. She has no manners. Ignore her and let's continue!"

Nan Wu plopped down on the sofa, her voice even louder than before, "You hired someone to do this, didn't you?"

Nan Dongxue, the portly man, paused, then roared in anger and embarrassment, "What have you done? Get out of here right now! Men, take President Nan out of here, and don't let anyone else in!"

"It seems Mr. Nan has something to do today. How about we talk another day?" The business deal hadn't been finalized to begin with, and the other party was using this as an excuse.

Even Nan Dongxue couldn't be retained. "No, Mr. Cao, didn't you just say you were looking forward to cooperation? Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao..."
