Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

In the middle of the night, just as she was starting to feel sleepy, Xu Qingcheng was woken up by her phone.

Song Chang's phone call.

Xu Qingcheng scooped it up, annoyed, "Don't you let a person get any sleep?"

"What are you talking about? You're lying in bed all day drinking soup and porridge, you need to rest. What difference does it make when you sleep?" For someone like Song Chang, who can fall asleep in three seconds when she's tired or sleepy, talking to her about insomnia is like talking to a brick wall.

Xu Qingcheng rubbed her temples. "What do you want?"

"It's going viral online! Ye Wenhan's sex video!" Song Chang exclaimed in disbelief. "This is unbelievable! Who knew they all went at it so wildly in private! Bondage play! Look, it's too explicit, I bet it'll be censored soon, but it's already all over various group chats! Ye Wenhan's finished now. I guess she'll have to wear a mask from now on, her whole body has been exposed!"

Xu Qingcheng cursed, "Are you crazy? Why would I look at that? I'm not a pervert!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm not showing you that, I'm letting you know who the protagonist is. This pampered young lady is truly deceiving! It's satisfying. I wonder who released this video. That's really malicious. The Ye family can't stop it now." Song Chang laughed twice. "I think she can forget about getting married properly in the future. What man can bear to wear such a green hat?"

"That felt so good! They deserved it! Just thinking about how the Ye family treated Qingyao makes me want to skin them alive and drink their blood." Song Chang exhaled and then asked, "How are Qingyao's injuries? Are they any better?"

"Much better." Xu Qingcheng's expression softened. "She's grown up and become more sensible."

The two exchanged a few words and then hung up the phone. Xu Qingcheng couldn't resist her curiosity and searched for it, but she only glanced at it before turning it off.

Feeling neither excitement nor pity for Ye Wenhan, Xu Qingcheng felt her heart was unusually cold, without even the slightest ripple.

She didn't even feel that she deserved it; she just felt that this girl who used to follow behind her and sweetly call her "Sister Qingcheng" was actually so unfamiliar.

However, the way Ye Wenhan was tied up didn't seem like she was playing around; it looked real!

Xu Qingcheng closed her eyes.

If Fu Jingting hadn't arrived in time that day...

Perhaps, this ending is Xu Qingcheng's fate.

A chill ran through her body for no apparent reason. Xu Qingcheng hugged herself tightly with both arms. There was no one beside her; he was not there.

Xu Qingcheng checked the time; Fu Jingting had been extremely busy these past few days and was almost never seen.

I really want to know what he's doing right now, I really want to hear his voice. This longing came so fiercely and suddenly that my heart ached and softened.

The call was made, rang twice, and was answered, "Qingcheng?"

His voice seemed especially gentle in the darkness, and his beautiful call made her heart tremble. His voice carried a hint of weariness and a rough, hoarse quality, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I can't sleep." Xu Qingcheng's voice was low, her face was a little red, and her heart was melting. "Aren't you coming back? I want you to hug me, I can't sleep like this."

She just wanted to act cute with him, she really wanted to, even though it didn't sound like something she should say.

The woman's voice came through the receiver, exceptionally clear in the darkness.

Tang Jinchao was drinking tea when he choked and coughed violently.

Fu Jingting glanced at him sideways, then kicked his chair hard, causing Mr. Tang to roll away in his swivel chair, still holding his teacup, to the other end of the office.

Xu Qingcheng hadn't expected there to be other people around him, or rather, she hadn't expected him to answer the phone without keeping it from others...

Her face flushed bright red instantly. "You, you have someone with you?"

"Yes, I do," Fu Jingting replied seriously. "You know him, Tang Jinchao."

Who cares if we know each other or not!

It's better if we don't know each other!

Xu Qingcheng really wanted to dig a hole and bury herself. She screamed in a low voice, buried her head in the quilt, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm fine, you can go about your business."

The man's lips twitched as he thought of her flushed face and couldn't help but laugh.

Tang Jinchao returned in his swivel chair, teacup in hand. Seeing his lustful smile, Tang Jinchao slammed the teacup on the table and clicked his tongue twice. "That's enough for today. Go home and hug your woman."

After a moment's thought, Fu Jingting agreed.

The work I'm currently working on is basically finished, and I should see the results by the day after tomorrow at the latest, so there's no rush for these last few hours.

As the two walked out, Tang Jinchao glanced at him. "I've already emailed the Shengshi project investment plan to them, and they've replied. Now that this is over, I'll focus on that. I've also arranged for the Ye family's funds to be withdrawn. You can find the right opportunity to take over the Ye family yourself."

"I've made arrangements with Duan Heng; he's been keeping an eye on the Ye family lately."

Tang Jinchao glanced at him. "You were behind Ye Wenhan's affair?"

"No, I only messed with Zhuang Wei," Fu Jingting replied calmly. "I didn't expect him to have this. Although it's not very satisfactory, it can be considered a lesson for Ye Wenhan."

Tang Jinchao, "..." This is barely acceptable!

In contrast to the calm and collected atmosphere here, Ye Wenhan was going crazy, calling Zhuang Wei, but he wouldn't answer.

The videos that were made public were all suppressed, but those circulating privately could never be completely eradicated.

Ye Wenhan cried her eyes out, holding a fruit knife and threatening to cut her wrists; she was too ashamed to face anyone.

"What good is it if you die? You've already disgraced everyone!" Ye Chengnian's face was dark and gloomy. He kicked the fruit knife out of her hand and asked her, suppressing his temper, "When did this happen? What happened?"

"It's Zhuang Wei, it's Zhuang Wei, it's him!" Ye Wenhan cried as she crawled to Ye Chengnian's side. "Big brother, you have to help me! He's not human, he's not human! He knew it was me, yet he still did those things, threatened me with that video! I want him to die a horrible death, a horrible death! Big brother, what am I going to do now?"

"Zhuang Wei?" Ye Chengnian's temple throbbed, urging her to explain herself.

Ye Wenhan explained the whole story. Ye Chengnian slammed his hand on the table and called Zhuang Wei's cell phone directly. The person who answered the phone was not Zhuang Wei, but Zhuang Wei's father.

They spoke politely, but kept making excuses that Zhuang Wei did not do it voluntarily, that someone had made anonymous phone threats against him, and that his computer had been hacked.

It wasn't a leak by Zhuang Wei's subjective will; he managed to deny everything completely.

Ye Chengnian understood perfectly well that they were shirking responsibility. He sneered, "Uncle Zhuang, Wenhan is so ashamed that she's contemplating suicide, so I might as well hand this matter over to the police and let them investigate."

"Ye Chengnian, don't you dare threaten me. If you're so capable, ask your sister what she actually did. She had Xu Qingcheng kidnapped, and I wasn't involved! If you want to report it to the police, go ahead, we'll all do it together." Zhuang Wei suddenly grabbed the phone. "We can't afford to fight amongst ourselves right now. I think it's definitely Xu Qingcheng, and the Fu family is behind this."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wenhan's face erupted with intense hatred.

However, just as they were bickering, the lawyer, at Fu Jingting's instruction, filed a police report on behalf of the couple, providing a video of the kidnapper's confession in the attempted kidnapping case.
