Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 165 The Mask on the Edge of Rupture

"Debt? What debt?" Song Luobai was clearly not so easily convinced by such a simple answer. "Whom do you owe debts to? The Yan family or Ji Shiqing?"

Tang Xu did not answer him, but turned to look at Gao Yan and gestured with his eyes that he could leave.

Gao Yan really couldn't stay any longer.

There were still a lot of things to deal with at the parking lot, and Tang Xu's injury was something he never expected, so he had to go back and give Yan Shiyu an explanation.

Gao Yan apologized to Tang Xu again, and then said to Song Luobai, "Miss Tang needs to rest well. Her ear cannot be injured again. Please take good care of her."

Song Luobai only rolled his eyes at him before closing the door and seeing him out.

When Gao Yan returned to the parking lot, he was surprised to find that Yan Shiyu was no longer there; only his own people and the police who had arrived were still dealing with the scene.

Gao Yan quickly grabbed someone and asked, only to learn that there was no news of Ji Shiqing, and that Yan Shiyu had left shortly after he left.

Gao Yan's heart tightened slightly.

Although Yan Shiyu didn't show it obviously, he actually cared about Ji Shiqing quite a bit.

Besides, he hasn't returned to report on Tang Xu's situation yet...

Logically, he shouldn't be leaving at this time.

unless……

Gao Yan couldn't help but recall his state after he last met Tang Xu.

He felt somewhat anxious, but he had no way to leave for the time being and could only stay at the scene to deal with the situation.

Gao Yan was finally able to extricate himself just as dawn was breaking.

He immediately drove to Qiushuitai.

Halfway through the journey, my phone suddenly rang.

"Mr. Gao, we've found Ji Shiqing!"

With that one sentence, Gao Yan immediately turned the car around.

More than ten minutes later, he found Ji Shiqing, who had been missing for more than thirty hours, at the entrance of a park.

He was sitting in the car of the person who found him, dozing off with his eyes closed by the window.

Gao Yan stepped forward, opened the car door, and pulled him out of the car.

Ji Shiqing suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and saw Gao Yan, but quickly closed his eyes again, as if he would fall asleep if he stood there.

Seeing that he was unharmed and showed no signs of torture, Gao Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief before asking, "Did you see what the people who tied you up looked like? How many were there? Did they have any distinguishing features?"

"No, I don't know, no." Ji Shiqing answered his three questions succinctly.

Gao Yan had no choice but to put him in his car first, and then called Yan Shiyu.

The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.

On the other end of the phone, Yan Shiyu's voice was hoarse and she sounded noticeably weak.

Gao Yan's heart tightened again.

He was probably right.

He knew what Yan Shiyu had done to him again.

In fact, when Yan Shiyu learned yesterday that Tang Xu was involved in the matter, he entrusted the task to Tang Xu.

He had no intention of showing up.

So Gao Yan originally planned to send someone with a communications expert to Tangxu to handle this matter.

But in the end, Yan Shiyu personally stepped forward.

At that time, Gao Yan felt that, from a certain perspective, Ji Shiqing's kidnapping might have some positive effects.

But the result remained the same.

Gao Yan was filled with worry and sighs. After a moment, he finally spoke: "Mr. Yan, we've found Ji Shiqing." There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone before Yan Shiyu's voice came through again: "Take him back to the villa."

Gao Yan hung up the phone and got into his car to drive to the villa.

Ji Shiqing sat in the passenger seat, still dozing off with his eyes closed.

"You really didn't see a single person? In other words, you knew absolutely nothing about this kidnapping you experienced yourself?"

Ji Shiqing, with his eyes still closed, replied, "All I know is that they kidnapped me on Changcheng Road and then abandoned me at the park entrance just now. Shouldn't you have already found out all of that? I don't need to say anything more, do I?"

Gao Yan listened and said nothing more.
Half an hour later, Duan Siwei, who rarely gets up early, glanced at the message he received on his phone and quickly called Yan Shiyu.

"I heard Ji Shiqing has been found?" Duan Siwei asked. "Is he alright?"

"I'm fine for now," Yan Shiyu replied.

"That's good." Duan Siwei then asked, "Have you found out who did it? They're incredibly audacious—"

Before he could finish speaking, a loud "bang" suddenly came from the phone.

Duan Siwei was startled. "What's wrong?"

The phone line was noisy, accompanied by the sound of the car's alarm system.

"A serious impact has been detected. Should I call the police for you?"

Duan Siwei suddenly swore and asked anxiously, "You were in a car accident? Are you alright, Yan Shiyu?"

After another burst of noise, Yan Shiyu's voice finally rang out—

"fine."

His voice remained calm and steady, but after answering those two words, he hung up the phone immediately.

Duan Siwei disregarded everything else and immediately called Gao Yan again: "Your boss was in a car accident. Are you with him? If not, send someone over to check on him right away."

Gao Yan was shocked.

Since it was a car accident, it must have happened on the way to the villa, so Gao Yan immediately sent someone to check.

Not long after, he received a call on his cell phone: "We found Mr. Yan's car. We don't know how it crashed into the wall on the side of the road. The impact was quite serious, but no one was injured at the scene, and we haven't found Mr. Yan."

Gao Yan was about to say something when he looked up and saw a taxi slowly driving up and stopping in front of him.

Gao Yan saw it immediately and quickly went over to open the back door of the car. "Mr. Yan, are you alright?"

Yan Shiyu sat in the back row with his eyes closed, a hint of gloom in his face. When he slowly opened his eyes, they were unfathomable.

Avoiding Gao Yan's outstretched hand, Yan Shiyu got out of the car on his own and walked into the villa without looking back.

Gao Yan felt terrified.

So much has happened in such a short time, and he himself has made foolish mistakes; there are simply too many things to worry about.

But what he was most worried about was still Yan Shiyu.

Gao Yan hurriedly followed him inside, but Yan Shiyu was no longer downstairs.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a loud "bang" from upstairs.

It was Yan Shiyu who kicked open Ji Shiqing's door.

Ji Shiqing had just finished showering and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard a noise. He turned around and saw Yan Shiyu with dark eyes, and he froze for a moment. "Uncle, I—"

He had barely opened his mouth when Yan Shiyu reached out and grabbed his neck, a storm brewing in his eyes.

Ji Shiqing's eyes widened in surprise.

"You really don't listen to what I said," Yan Shiyu said in a low, husky voice. "Who gave you permission to do such a thing?"

"I, I'm not—"

"You're not?" Yan Shiyu looked at him coldly, his usually calm and composed face now dark and chapped.

It's like a mask that's been worn for a long time, finally reaching the brink of breaking.
