After the divorce, my ex-husband and son lined up to pursue me.

Chapter 100 Successfully Snatching Someone
In the end, Jiang Xia went home with Lu Niansan.

It's hard to imagine that someone as wild and unrestrained as him, who has captivated so many, would actually make such a mess of his own home!
Takeout boxes and beer cans were everywhere, along with countless scattered clothes...

Jiang Xia stood in the entryway, not even changing out of her slippers, and quickly closed her eyes after only glancing briefly at the living room.

"What?" Lu Niansan grinned mischievously and slumped into the sofa. "Afraid to open your eyes? Hoping it's all an illusion?"

"Are you addicted to being a rich housewife?" he clicked his tongue. "The nanny has some family matters to attend to and won't be able to come for a few days. You can stay here without worry. Your husband... oh no, the one surnamed Ruan will definitely not be able to find you."

Jiang Xia opened his eyes weakly, not caring how bad the living environment was, and sighed, "I hope so."

She had no interest in playing the fairy godmother, so she changed her shoes, walked around the mess, and wandered around before finally choosing an empty guest room: "I'll stay in this room. It's late, so get some rest."

"Hey, wait a minute."

Lu Niansan opened the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of beer, chugged down a few mouthfuls, and casually wiped his mouth. "Aren't you going to lend me your phone?"

Jiang Xia stopped her movement to go inside and was about to reach out to borrow his phone when Lu Niansan pointed to a cabinet on the side: "There are new ones in there, you can open one and use it."

As he spoke, he sat down on the sofa again and started looking for a movie with great interest.

Jiang Xia ignored him and wasn't surprised to see the brand-new cell phones in the drawer. She simply picked one and took it back to the guest room.

She didn't have a SIM card, and after turning on her phone and connecting to the internet, she didn't do anything.

Sitting on the carpet by the bed, Jiang Xia felt that her confused mind was finally starting to clear up.

Chaochao is sick and urgently needs a bone marrow transplant.

Ruan Muhuai wanted to have another child to save Chaochao's life.

None of these are wrong, and they shouldn't be avoided, but...

Endless pain gathered in her heart, and she couldn't bear to recall it. As if overwhelmed by emotion, she hugged herself tightly, but she couldn't stop the trembling all over her body.

It suddenly started raining in the gloomy night.

In the thunderous Qiushui Garden, Ruan Muhuai watched the surveillance footage over and over again, his gloomy face expressionless. A row of bodyguards stood not far away, heads bowed and silent as if trembling in fear.

"Can't even take care of a person properly..."

After a long while, Ruan Muhuai finally spoke, his deep voice unhurried yet carrying an imposing, authoritative air: "Go and mine."

The head bodyguard was startled. The Nguyen family owned more than a dozen mining areas in F continent. If they were sent there...

"Mr. Ruan, it's all our fault! But could you give us a chance to atone for our sins? We will definitely find Lu Twenty-Three and bring my wife back!"

"roll."

Ruan Muhuai raised his chin outwards in a gesture that left no room for argument.

The bodyguards dared not plead any further and slunk away. Just then, Ruan Muhuai's cell phone, which was on the table, rang.

“Lu Twenty-Three didn’t go to work at the club, and we’ve sent people to look for his properties, but we still haven’t found his wife.”

Tao He reported, then hurriedly added, "I'll continue to send people to search, and I'll let you know when I have any news."

"Hmm." Ruan Muhuai hung up the phone, his slender fingers fiddling with it, and finally dialed Ruan Muting's number.

"Brother! You finally remembered me! Let me tell you, Mom introduced her classmate's son to me, and he's so ugly... Wait, I heard Chaochao is sick? Very sick? How's Xiaobao doing now?"

Ruan Muting had been blocked by her brother, and when the phone finally came, she chattered on and on, almost forgetting the important point.

"He's alright, I'll handle these things."

Ruan Muhuai glossed over the question briefly before getting to the point: "Lu Twenty-Three, what kind of thing are you raising?"

"Well..."

Ruan Muting on the other end fell into an awkward silence. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "He's not mine, so why are you suddenly asking about him? Who did he talk about me with? What did he say? Did he want to date me?"

"..."

"What are you thinking about all day?" Ruan Muhuai asked, puzzled and somewhat angry. "Tell me clearly what's going on with him."

Ruan Muting tried to ramble on, but Ruan Muhuai warned her again, which made her behave.

Helpless, she had no choice but to tell the truth: "Lu Twenty-Three is not his real name. He changed his name when he was a child, but he didn't change his surname. He... has some connection with our family. He is the illegitimate son of my maternal uncle's son."

Ruan Muhuai's thoughts froze for a moment.

His cousin Lu Yunzhou immediately came to mind.

“But his family never acknowledged him, and he didn’t need to be acknowledged. He wasn’t my kept man at the club we co-owned. He just… said he liked being a male model and making girls happy, and that made him happy.”

I guess you could say I did whatever I wanted.

Ruan Muting didn't know the specific reason either.

She added, "He also started a company with someone else, what was it called again... I forgot, anyway, he's very capable and intelligent. Brother, if I could marry him..."

"Impossible! Keep your stance on not getting married."

Ruan Muhuai's cold words shattered his sister's illusions and hung up the phone.

Unexpectedly, Lu Niansan still has connections with his family...

Actually, it's not really true. My maternal uncle's surname is Lu. Although we are related, we are not family.

Day after day, Ruan Muhuai's men could neither find Lu Niansan nor capture Jiang Xia.

It's as if they've vanished into thin air.

But in fact, for several days in a row, apart from receiving a phone card from Lu Niansan and some cash, Jiang Xia had not seen him.

A week has passed, and it's no longer a solution to keep dragging this out.

Jiang Xia abandoned her busy online calculations and sent Xu Fei a message: 【I'm going to the research institute now.】

Then she texted Lu Niansan: "[I'm leaving. Thank you for the past few days. I've used your phone and SIM card. I left the cash in the locker.]"

As she drove downstairs in a Didi car and arrived at the roadside, her phone started buzzing.

It was Lu Niansan who called.

Just as Jiang Xia was about to answer the call, a Rolls-Royce suddenly appeared at high speed and braked sharply beside her.

The sudden noise startled her.

Once she calmed down a bit, she saw the slowly opening rear door and Ruan Muhuai's face, which was filled with a fierce and gloomy expression.

"You're hiding very well, why don't you keep hiding?"

His deep voice seemed to be mixed with wind and snow, chilling people to the bone.

Jiang Xia's breath hitched, and before he could react, another roaring motorcycle sound rang in his ears!

"Jiang Xia! Come with me!"

Immediately afterward, Lu Niansan drove a Suzuki at lightning speed, catching Jiang Xia with pinpoint accuracy and pulling her onto the motorcycle. He then gave Ruan Muhuai, who had already gotten off, a wicked grin and a middle finger. His voice, muffled by his helmet, betrayed a soft laugh and a contemptuous curse.

With a turn, it sped away, carrying its passengers!
