After she left her father and kept her son, President Pei lost control and knelt down.

After finishing her work, a client stopped Qiao Wan and said he wanted to introduce her to a friend.

"Zhao Youran is the manager in charge of foreign trade in Yuexi Bay."

"This is Qiao Wan, the wine sales girl who set a new overseas sales record this year."

Qiao Wan is now more famous than Leyi Winery. She doesn't know who called her "Red Wine Sister," but the name spread throughout Beijing's social circles. Although she didn't particularly like it, she accepted it.

Zhao Youran gave Qiao Wan's first impression of being unapproachable, and secondly, she was really extravagant, with her luxury brand logos on her clothes being very eye-catching, deliberately showing off in front of Qiao Wan.

Even though it was a friendly greeting between friends, Zhao Youran looked at Qiao Wan as if she were a subordinate or an enemy; in short, she could tell at a glance that they were not the same kind of people.

Qiao Wan ignored Zhao Youran, exchanged a few polite words with her friend, and then prepared to leave.

Today's events have made her consider buying a car. As for the person who orchestrated this kidnapping, he's hiding in the shadows. He didn't succeed today, but there might be a next time, so we have to be careful.

As soon as I stepped out of Yuexi Bay, I saw a police car parked at the entrance. Several men in uniforms and hats got out of the car, attracting a crowd.

"What's going on? What are the police doing here?"

"I heard that the wife of a big shot was kidnapped today. The big shot spoke up, which attracted great attention from above, and they came to arrest her and investigate."

Qiao Wan stopped in her tracks. The men in hats passed by her, entered through Gate 5, and stopped in front of Zhao Youran.

A man in a hat showed his identification and began asking questions.

"Are you Zhao Youran? Come with us and cooperate with the investigation."

Zhao Youran's smile froze: "That's right, I am Zhao Youran. You must have the wrong person."

"You are suspected of a murder, instigating a kidnapping, and violating the personal freedom and safety of citizens. This is an arrest warrant."

Zhao Youran panicked: "It wasn't me! You've really wronged me."

Uncle Hat gestured to the people next to him, then handcuffed him and took him away.

An uncle in a hat pulled out handcuffs, and Zhao Youran plopped down on the ground: "You've violated my rights too! I'm going to find a lawyer and sue you for abuse of power! Do you know who I know in Beijing to dare arrest me!"

"No matter who you know, if you break the law, you should be punished. Take him away!"

Zhao Youran's hands were cuffed, and she was led away.

Her attitude was extremely arrogant: "I'm going to make a call. Give me your phone, I'm going to get someone to deal with you! Once my backer arrives, you're all finished!"

Zhao Youran was eventually shoved into a police car, the siren blaring throughout Yuexi Bay, drawing a growing crowd of onlookers.

"Zhao Youran killed someone four years ago. In the end, she found a scapegoat to go to jail. She went abroad to avoid the storm. After returning to Beijing, she was as carefree as if nothing had happened. She has powerful backers. She has close ties with the Pei family and the Jiang family in Beijing. I really don't know who she offended this time, that they dare to go against her."

Qiao Wan listened intently.

Zhao Youran works at Yuexi Bay. She knew that Qiao Wan would come to Yuexi Bay to discuss cooperation. As for why the kidnapped driver was lying in ambush at the Civil Affairs Bureau, it must be because he knew that Qiao Wan would definitely appear at the Civil Affairs Bureau. And the only people who knew this, besides the Pei family, were Jiang Chunzhi.

Who could have informed Zhao Youran and then conspired together to carry out this kidnapping?

Jiang Chunzhi, Rong Wenying, or Pei Xinyang?

In any case, they all hoped that Qiao Wan would disappear from the capital forever, and no matter who it was, they would protect and indulge each other.

As for Pei Hansheng, if he knew that Zhao Youran was responsible for the kidnapping, would he suspect any of them, or would he continue to turn a blind eye and let these harms happen?

Qiao Wan had no confidence in this matter. She always felt that Zhao Youran wouldn't be detained for long and that the kidnapping would eventually come to nothing.

A short while later, Shen Yingtang drove to pick her up and wanted to take her to a car dealership to look at cars.

Qiao Wan seemed a little absent-minded, which Shen Yingtang noticed.

"What's wrong? Did you run into some trouble at work?"

"Xiao Tang, when you go out, keep your distance from suspicious people and be more careful. Give me your phone and set my contact number as your emergency contact number so I'll know immediately if anything happens."

Did you encounter any danger today?

"Yeah, I almost got dragged onto the highway, but this is Beijing, it's not that easy to kidnap someone like that."

"It must be Jiang Chunzhi who's behind this. Qiao Wan, if you keep tolerating this, she'll only become more arrogant."

Qiao Wan pressed her temples, deep in thought.

She always thought that by staying away from Pei Hansheng and giving up her position as Mrs. Pei, she could live peacefully with Jiang Chunzhi. But it seems that this is not the case. No matter what her relationship with Pei Hansheng is, Jiang Chunzhi cannot change her evil nature.

He's just plain bad; he can't stand seeing people doing better than him.

"I understand, I won't let myself be bullied anymore."

She called the police officer handling the kidnapping case at the police station. Zhao Youran went in, gave a statement, and was then released on bail and taken away by someone from the Jiang Mansion.

Qiao Wan hung up the phone and, as if possessed, opened her WeChat Moments.

She had a feeling that Jiang Chunzhi would definitely make a move.

Ten minutes ago, Jiang Chunzhi posted a picture of a family dinner on her WeChat Moments, in which Pei Hansheng's fractured forearm was also in the picture.

Caption: [Those I love and those who love me are all by my side. I'm grateful for everything.]

Qiao Wan was numb; her heart was beyond despair, like a stagnant pool, devoid of any emotion.

Since Pei Hansheng stepped forward to order the kidnapping driver to be severely punished, someone from the police station must have reported the progress of the case to him. It is very likely that he originally thought this was just a simple kidnapping case, but the investigation turned out to be related to Zhao Youran. With Jiang Chunzhi whispering in his ear, he let it go out of consideration for their past relationship.

As for Qiao Wan's interests, they were never within his consideration.

Shen Yingtang took her phone and immediately saw Jiang Chunzhi's post on WeChat Moments.

She was so angry that her hands were trembling. She glanced at Qiao Wan, who remained calm as if nothing had happened.

"This is really disgusting, Qiao Xiaowan. This is blatant provocation."

Shen Yingtang typed rapidly in the comments section of Jiang Chunzhi's WeChat Moments:

[The man you love is married! You stole someone else's husband and don't even know how to behave yourself. Behind your back, everyone calls you a slut, a mistress who can't even be a proper mistress. Go eat shit!]

A long string of vomiting emojis followed.

After posting the comment, Shen Yingtang tossed Qiao Wan's phone into the back seat and said, "Come on, Qiao Xiaowan, let's go look at the car."

The reply to this post on WeChat Moments was quickly screenshotted and forwarded to the group.

[This "red wine girl" is seriously ill; she's probably just trying to scam someone. She doesn't know that CEO Pei and Jiang Chunzhi are childhood sweethearts.]

[Probably a die-hard fan of CEO Pei.]

This is a business group, and we rarely discuss things outside of work. Just because Pei Hansheng is in the group but never posts, someone thought they were being presumptuous and tagged Pei Hansheng to make their presence known.

Pei Hansheng was having dinner at Jiang's mansion when he slowly glanced at the news.

He was somewhat incredulous, zooming in on the screenshot several times, his eyes gleaming.

Qiao Wan used to curse him even more harshly than this. Pei Hansheng had figured out her temperament. The more she cursed him, the more he cared. He once felt suffocated and thought he had had enough. Now, she was injecting a stimulant into his lifeless heart.

He replied to this in the group chat: [My wife is jealous and has a bad temper. I'll talk to her about it when I get home tonight.]

Three people wearing sunglasses followed behind, looking smug.

Everyone says that Pei Hansheng and his secretly married wife have a bad relationship, but he has always kept quiet about it. Why is he bringing up his wife now?

Jiang Chunzhi secretly glanced at the chat history on Pei Hansheng's phone. She had originally intended to provoke Qiao Wan, but instead, she only fueled her own anger.

She gritted her teeth, picked up her phone, and deleted the humiliating post on her WeChat Moments.
