Five years after my wife's death, she came back!

In the afternoon, Shang Chenyan received a phone call. The person on the other end said, "Mr. Shang, Chen Wang has caused a lot of trouble. Would you like to come and hear about it in person?"

Ever since Shi Ying told him about what happened five years ago, Shang Chenyan has secretly arranged for someone to interrogate Chen Wang.

"You go first, I'll be right there."

He mentioned that twenty years ago, Yuan Song and Wang Jianxiong had a murder case against them...

Shang Chenyan's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened, finally understanding why Yuan Song was so fixated on that piece of land.

"I'm coming over now."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Jiang Wen hurriedly knocked on the door and entered the office.

"Mr. Shang, our people went to the island, but there's no one there anymore."

Shang Chenyan stood up: "Check Yuan Song's entry and exit records, trace his accounts, and make sure to find him."

"OK."

*

Shi Ying was unaware of what had happened at the company. Qiu Qiu was being incredibly mischievous; she had just sneaked into the bedroom and pushed all the skincare products she had placed on the dressing table onto the floor.

She was tidying up the room when she heard the doorbell ring downstairs.

When Shi Ying came downstairs, Shang Nian had already opened the door, and Cheng Suyun was standing outside.

"Aunt?"

When Cheng Suyun saw her, she looked at Shang Nian and explained, "Some old friends came to visit today, and your uncle said he wanted to pick up Nian Nian to play with them. I happened to be nearby, so I came to pick her up."

Shi Ying hesitated for a moment, then Cheng Suyun said, "Come with me. Shen Yan will be there after he gets off work."

"Okay, I'll tell him first."

Cheng Suyun nodded.

Shi Ying called Shang Chenyan, but the phone was busy; it seemed he was talking to someone else.

Fearing that Cheng Suyun would have to wait too long, Shi Ying sent him a message to let him know, and then got into the car with Shang Nian.

Cheng Suyun was quite amiable today, and not as aggressive as she was during dinner the other day. Shi Ying was even able to chat with her for a few minutes.

Just over ten minutes later, Shi Ying realized something was wrong.

"Is this the way to the old house?"

Cheng Suyun also glanced out the window. Jiangcheng is located along the coast, but the old house is nestled in the mountains and does not pass by the sea. However, this road allows you to see the coastline.

"Uncle Wang, where are you driving?" Cheng Suyun frowned.

The driver was wearing a hat. It was a cloudy day, and the interior of the car was dimly lit, so his face could not be clearly seen in the rearview mirror.

Shi Ying immediately tried to open the car door, but it was already locked.

The driver slowly raised his head, and there stood Yuan Song.

"Yuan Song?" Cheng Suyun always looked down on Yuan Song. She said impatiently, "Why is it you? Where is Uncle Wang? Where are you taking us this time?"

Shi Ying hugged Shang Nian tightly and patted her back reassuringly.

Cheng Suyun's attitude made Yuan Song's expression even uglier. He sneered, "What's your hurry? You'll find out when we get there."

Shi Ying wanted to take out her phone to call Shang Chenyan, but just as she touched the phone, the car jolted violently and almost crashed into the guardrail.

Shang Nian was so frightened that she hid in her arms, and Cheng Suyun's face also turned pale.

Yuan Song remained calm: "Sister-in-law, behave yourselves. Otherwise, if I really crash into something, we might be fine, but I don't know if the old man and the child can handle it."

Shi Ying quickly said, "I won't fight anymore."

She said that, but immediately recalled the game interface in her mind and asked customer service for help.

She couldn't send Shang Chenyan a message herself, but she could cheat.

The black car drove along the coastline, but soon Yuan Song realized something was wrong.

A low-key black Bentley followed slowly behind him, always maintaining a certain distance.

Yuan Song frowned and looked around through the rearview mirror. Sure enough, no matter how he changed his driving direction, there were always several cars in his field of vision.

His eyes darkened, and he slammed on the gas pedal, sending the car shooting off like an arrow.

Shi Ying hugged Shang Nian tightly and patted her back: "Nian Nian, don't be afraid, it's okay."

Shang Nian's shoulders trembled, but she didn't say anything, she just hugged her tightly.

As Yuan Song approached an intersection, two cars emerged from opposite directions, attempting to force him towards the next intersection. Yuan Song glanced at the group in his rearview mirror, sneered, and did not slow down at all, letting the cars approach.

As he expected, those cars didn't dare to actually crash into him; they were just trying to provoke him.

Yuan Song drove along the predetermined route, and Shi Ying saw the dock not far away.

It appeared to be an abandoned dock, with only one cruise ship moored around it, and it was quite desolate.

The car stopped, and the door on Shi Ying's side was suddenly ripped open. Yuan Song, with a gloomy face, tried to pull Shang Nian out, but Shi Ying held on tightly and wouldn't let go, so Yuan Song had to pull them out together.

He looked at the few cars parked on the road and gritted his teeth, saying, "When did you tip him off?"

He grabbed Shi Ying's hair and pulled her in front of him.

Shi Ying's head throbbed, and she refused to take the insult any longer, kicking him in the lower body.

Yuan Song quickly dodged, and naturally let go.

Shi Ying quickly shielded Shang Nian behind her, watching him warily.

Yuan Song spat. "Has this woman gone mad? Isn't she afraid of death?"

He was furious. He had secretly returned to China early that morning, intending to take his mother with him and go abroad together to avoid being implicated if the factory matter was discovered. With Shang Shijin as a hostage abroad, Shang Chenyan would not dare to do anything to him for at least a short period of time.

But unexpectedly, Shang Chenyan took his mother away first.

He had no choice. He originally intended to use Cheng Suyun as a hostage, but Shi Ying and Shang Nian also got on the bus, which gave him more leverage.

He wanted to exchange these people for his mother, and he also wanted Shang Chenyan to agree to let him leave by boat.

"Yuan Song, what do you want to do?" Shi Ying asked. "I think you don't want to get involved in murder and become a wanted criminal. You just want to leave?"

"You can use me as leverage, and I'll cooperate with you, but you have to release them both."

Yuan Song stared at Shi Ying as if she were crazy. Shouldn't these women be terrified of this scene? Just like Cheng Suyun, whose legs were already weak.

This woman seems fearless.

Shi Ying met his gaze without flinching: "Either you stay here, or you release them and take me away."

Yuan Song hesitated and stood there until he saw the cars that had been following him stop not far away, and he could faintly hear the sound of police sirens. He immediately pulled Shi Ying to stand in front of him and had no time to care about Cheng Suyun and Shang Nian anymore.

Shi Ying originally intended to wait for Shang Chenyan to arrive, but she caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye that he had a gun tucked behind his waist.

Yuan Song led Shi Ying back step by step to the edge of the dock, waiting for Shang Chenyan to come and negotiate with him.

But at that very moment, Shi Ying suddenly bent down and bit his tiger's mouth hard.

Yuan Song winced in pain. He tried to shake Shi Ying off, but his strength was so great that he swayed. Shi Ying seized the opportunity and, before he could draw his gun, turned around and tightly gripped his arm, throwing him backward.

Let her deal with this nuisance while she's at it.

She wouldn't give him a chance to threaten Shang Chenyan.

The cold, salty seawater rushed in and submerged the two bodies in an instant.

As Shang Chenyan got out of the car, he saw Shi Ying's frail body fall towards the sea, and he heard a loud hum in his ears.

The salty sea breeze filled his lungs, making it hard for him to breathe. Five years later, the car accident seemed to replay in his mind.

Shang Chenyan ran to the shore like a madman, but could only see the sea gradually returning to calm.
