"What did you say? Lost? A perfectly healthy person lost?"

Chu Yang yelled into the phone.

Xiao Yuening quickly explained, "Some naughty kids were setting off firecrackers in the neighborhood last night. The guards went to check, and in just half a minute, Xiaoman returned to her bedroom and found that Su Wanning was gone. Her phone was switched off."

The two quickly reunited, and the Maybach V8 engine roared as it charged toward the world.

Chu Yang was frantically trying to figure out Su Wanning's whereabouts the whole way.

Kidnapping?

Unlikely.

What I fear most is that the sound of firecrackers might suddenly wake her up—that would be worse than being kidnapped.

Damage to the soul is akin to a severe mental injury, leaving modern medicine helpless.

If one suddenly awakens, the consequences are unpredictable; at best, nothing will happen, at worst, one could suffer a mental breakdown.

He must find Su Wanning as soon as possible; the longer he delays, the more difficult it will be to treat her.

"Chu Yang, I...I..." Xiao Yuening's voice sounded strange.

"What's wrong with you now?" Chu Yang asked Xiao Yuening in confusion.

In the afternoon, the feeling of breast swelling became increasingly intense, which Xiao Yuening found difficult to talk about.

"I...I feel a little unwell."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Fangfei's call came in.

"Brother Yang! Wan Ning is at my house! She's in a terrible state! I told her I'd take her home or call her family, but she just cried. I'll send you the address, come quickly!" Liu Fangfei said anxiously.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Yang quickly handed the phone to Xiao Yuening.

"Hurry! Get there as fast as you can!"

Xiao Yuening already felt guilty about Su Wanning's disappearance, so he stopped talking about his distress and sped up his drive toward Liu Fangfei's house.

As they approached the city center, Xiao Yuening glanced at the rearview mirror.

"There's a car following us the whole way."

Chu Yang snapped back to reality and looked over. A black sedan with its headlights off remained a hundred meters away.

"Stop the car!" Chu Yang said decisively.

Xiao Yuening slammed on the brakes. "Don't kill anyone unless absolutely necessary."

Chu Yang picked up the mask and waved it. "If they're not after 'Ai Qiandao,' they must die!"

Xiao Yuening sighed, "Today, many people mistakenly thought you were from the Ai family of Northern Xinjiang. I can see you quite like the identity of 'Ai Qiandao.' So I'll briefly tell you about the Ai family of Northern Xinjiang..."

Liu Fangfei's spacious apartment now felt somewhat crowded.

In the living room, Hu Wanjin and Hu Wanyin, brothers who look remarkably like "Benboerba" and "Baboerben" after plastic surgery, are frantically analyzing Jinglan Company's business trajectory and data reports over the past six months in front of the computer screen.

Sha Qiang, whose build and physique were remarkably similar to Chu Yang's, was curled up on the sofa, engrossed in playing Snake.

Liu Fangfei was carefully chatting with Su Wanning, who was curled up on the bed, in the bedroom.

The reason she was being so careful was because she had spoken to Su Wanning in a normal best friend manner several times, which had made Su Wanning cry.

"Wan Ning, besides me, who do you most want to see right now?"

Su Wanning looked around the room blankly, then pulled the blanket up even higher, almost covering her nose, leaving only her terrified eyes showing.

"I...want to see my husband," she whispered.

Liu Fangfei was stunned.

"Husband? Aren't you... a bit annoyed by him?"

Su Wanning seemed confused.

"Annoying? Why should I be annoyed by my own husband?"

Liu Fangfei's heart tightened, and she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"Do you...remember who your husband is?"

Su Wanning nodded vigorously. "Yes! My husband's name is Chu Yang! He... seems to... love me very much." Her tone was uncertain and tinged with a faint expectation.

Liu Fangfei's heart sank.

How do you know... he loves you?

"Um... he said he'd help me earn 5 billion in a month, and he also said he'd drive Jinglan Company away. He... he..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Wanning suddenly choked up, and large tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Why...why would I expect help from others? I'm not that kind of person. I've never needed anyone's help..."

She suddenly grabbed Liu Fangfei's arm, her eyes filled with urgency and confusion.

"Feifei, didn't you always say I wasn't ruthless enough? You said that no matter how capable I was, I wouldn't succeed in the business world if I acted like this, right?"

Liu Fangfei was so frightened that she shook her head repeatedly.

"No, no! I was just kidding! Don't take it seriously! Chu Yang... he's actually very outstanding. If you're willing to be with him, he'll definitely treat you well and help you."

After saying this, Liu Fangfei herself felt a mix of emotions.

If she hadn't seen her best friend like this, she would never have said such insincere words of reconciliation.

At this moment, she even felt a deep sense of guilt for having had feelings for Chu Yang before.

As long as Su Wanning and Chu Yang can be together, she would rather completely suppress her own feelings.

However, Su Wanning's reaction was unexpected.

She seemed to have been frozen in place, her eyes vacant as she stared ahead. Liu Fangfei called out several times, but received no response.

Just when Liu Fangfei was at her wit's end and extremely worried...

The helpless confusion in Su Wanning's eyes suddenly faded, and she instantly became as sharp as ice!

She abruptly threw off the covers, rolled out of bed, and moved swiftly and decisively.

She gathered her long, loose hair and quickly tied it into a neat high ponytail.

In an instant, her entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation, from vulnerable and helpless to cold and extremely aggressive, as if she had become a completely different person!

Liu Fangfei was completely stunned by this sudden change and had no idea what was going on.

"Wan Ning? Are you... are you alright?"

At the same time, Chu Yang had already put on a mask and stood next to the taillights of the Maybach, waving to the black sedan behind him that had slowed down.

The car stopped, seemingly waiting for instructions.

About a minute later, the car slowly accelerated and stopped about ten meters away from Chu Yang.

A gaunt middle-aged man got out of the car with a broad smile, approached Chu Yang, and bowed respectfully with clasped hands.

"Young Master Ai, my name is Liu Wengui, a steward of the Chu family in the capital. My master respects your magnanimity and superb medical skills, and wishes to befriend you. A banquet will be prepared tomorrow, and we hope you will do us the honor of attending."

This time, Chu Yang did not use overtones.

He controlled his vocal cords, making his voice low and deep, and uttered a single word, "Get out!"

Liu Wengui seemed completely unsurprised, instead displaying an expression of "I knew it."

"Young Master Ai, if I'm not mistaken, you are the young master of the Ai family from the Northern Frontier who went missing after the fire in the capital."

Chu Yang's mind raced.

The background of the Ai family that Xiao Yuening introduced when he got out of the car just now actually came in handy.

"What a smooth-talking, flattering servant! He can make an illegitimate child sound like a young master."

Liu Wengui flattered, "You're joking. More than a decade ago, the Ai family patriarch included you in the family genealogy and has always doted on you. It's just that you've rarely left the northern frontier over the years."

Chu Yang scoffed dismissively, neither admitting nor denying it.

"You people from the Chu family dare to speak to me?"

Liu Wengui hurriedly explained, "Ten years ago, it was Chu Tian who set fire to the guild hall, causing your burns. This has nothing to do with the Chu family. Let me tell you a secret: it was my master who personally killed Chu Tian back then, which can be considered as avenging your disfigurement."

Chu Yang laughed heartily a few times, "Aren't you afraid you've mistaken someone for someone else?"

Liu Wengui still smiled obsequiously, "Who else but the Ai family of Northern Xinjiang could make the eldest daughter of the Hua family take the initiative to publicly announce her relationship? Although you have changed your name, you have been wearing a mask ever since you were burned. Moreover, no one in the Great Xia territory dares to impersonate the young master of the Ai family."

His confident words had barely left his lips when his expression suddenly froze.

“Pah!”

A crisp slap sent him spinning around on the spot before he fell to the ground with a thud.
