Mr. Song, you have crossed the line.

Rong Zheng immediately shook her head, "No."

His expression conveyed a sense of panic and guilt, as if his secret had been discovered.

Luo Qinghe asked with some skepticism, "Really not?"

"Really, no." Rong Zheng had nothing to hide from Luo Qinghe. Her mind was a mess and she really needed someone to help her sort things out. After a two-second silence, she told Luo Qinghe what Song Shiyan had said.

Luo Qinghe was shocked. Song Shiyan actually liked Rong Zheng?

How could he possibly like Rong Zheng?

This is utterly absurd.

Luo Qinghe didn't think Rong Zheng was unworthy of Song Shiyan. In her heart, Rong Zheng was beautiful, outstanding, ambitious, and strong, and could be with anyone. It was just that Rong Zheng was Lu Peichuan's ex-wife and Song Shiyan's nominal former sister-in-law.

Given this relationship, how dare Song Shiyan harbor such thoughts...

After a moment, Luo Qinghe processed the news and asked Rong Zheng, "What do you think?"

Rong Zheng shook her head in confusion, "I don't know, it all happened so suddenly, I never thought of it this way."

Luo Qinghe felt that Rong Zheng was currently blinded by her own involvement, while she, as an observer, was very clear-headed. "Do you want to know my opinion?"

Rong Zheng nodded, "Mm."

"He's not interested in women but suddenly says he likes you. Maybe it's because your relationship is taboo, and he finds it exciting, so he wants to play around with you. But it's also possible that he really likes you. If it's the former, needless to say, you can't play along with him. If it's the latter..."

Luo Qinghe paused for a moment before continuing, "I think your chances of success are extremely slim. You've married into a wealthy family before, so you should know the importance of marrying someone of equal social standing."

You know better than I how Bai Yuxiu and Lu Yunshan have always treated you, and how Lu Peichuan's friends in his circle view you. The Song family is an even bigger and more powerful family than the Lu family. Do you think his family can accept you?

Most importantly, you are Lu Peichuan's ex-wife. To put it bluntly, your relationship is incestuous and not tolerated by society.

Would he really take the stigma of stealing his brother's ex-wife for you? What kind of damage would such a scandal do to his company? Is he really willing to bear such serious consequences for you?

Or perhaps he never intended a future with you, and his feelings for you were merely a passing fancy, a fleeting affair. Or maybe he wanted you to be his secret lover—in which case, he wouldn't need to consider any of those possibilities.

Rong Zheng's face turned pale as she listened, and her chaotic thoughts gradually cleared up.

Luo Qinghe was worried that Rong Zheng would fall for him. After all, it was really hard not to be moved by a man as exceptional as Song Shiyan confessing his love to her.

She continued, "I know that he saved you when you had a severe hemorrhage during childbirth with Tangtang, and he also saved you when you were in trouble this time. He saved your life, so you have a biased view of him and think he is very good. I can understand that."

But in just two years, he firmly held the position of president of the Song Group. His ruthlessness and meticulousness are beyond our imagination. Such a man is career-oriented and ambitious. How much weight can romance hold in his heart?

"You've already experienced one failed marriage; can you bear another? And Tangtang, she carries Lu Peichuan's blood; can Song Shiyan truly be without any resentment?"

Rong Zheng was completely awake. Yes, she wasn't alone; she still had Tangtang. "I know what to do."

Luo Qinghe held Rong Zheng's hand. "I'm not trying to discourage you, I just don't want you to get hurt."

Rong Zheng smiled slightly. "I know."

**

A villa in the suburbs of Jiangcheng.

A black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the villa.

Fang Zheng got out of the car, opened the back door, and Song Shiyan got out of the car.

The man guarding the door quickly went to greet him, "Mr. Song, the person has been apprehended."

Song Shiyan nodded slightly and walked towards the villa.

The man then reported, "We followed your orders and didn't touch them; we just separated them and put them in different cells."

As Song Shiyan entered the villa, two rows of men dressed in black T-shirts and black work pants stood inside. Each of them was tall and straight, clearly possessing exceptional skills. Upon seeing Song Shiyan enter, they respectfully greeted him, "Mr. Song."

Song Shiyan nodded slightly and walked towards the monitoring room on the second floor.

When the people in the monitoring room saw Song Shiyan enter, they immediately stood up, respectfully greeted him as Mr. Song, and then went to stand at the door.

The computer screen displayed surveillance videos from two rooms in split format. Bai Yuxiu was locked up in one room, and Su Qingya was locked up in the other. Both of them were bound hand and foot, and their mouths were sealed with tape.

Song Shiyan sat down in the chair with a flourish, his cold gaze fixed on the two people in the video.

Fang Zheng stood aside, unsure of what Song Shiyan intended to do to Bai Yuxiu and Su Qingya, but the murderous aura emanating from him clearly indicated that he was enraged.

Rong Zheng is someone the boss cherishes dearly. Of all the people they could have messed with, why did they dare to touch Rong Zheng, and with such insidious and despicable means? Aren't they just courting death?

But these two people, one is Madam Lu and the other is Miss Su, are of extraordinary status. If we really lay a hand on them, it would be difficult to explain.

"Interrogate them separately. I want them to fight like dogs." Song Shiyan's deep, emotionless voice echoed in the room.

Fang Zheng asked nervously, "Should I go and interrogate them myself?"

Song Shiyan slightly parted his thin lips, "Tell them to interrogate me."

Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone knew he was Song Shiyan's man. If he showed up, it would be tantamount to telling Bai Yuxiu and Su Qingya that Song Shiyan had kidnapped them.

Fortunately, the eldest brother wasn't blinded by love.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." As Fang Zheng was about to leave, Song Shiyan added, "Interrogate Bai Yuxiu first."

Fang Zheng admired him; the boss was still the boss, even when he was angry, his mind was still very clear.

Su Qingya was able to seduce Lu Peichuan into having an affair right under Rong Zheng's nose, and it went undetected for so long; she's clearly not a good person.

Bai Yuxiu, on the other hand, is just a wealthy socialite. Judging from her beating Rong Zheng in the restaurant regardless of the occasion, she is someone who is easily swayed by her emotions, making her easier to deal with.

Starting with Bai Yuxiu was indeed the wisest course of action.

Not long after, Song Shiyan saw the interrogation on the surveillance footage.

At first, Bai Yuxiu refused to admit that she had kidnapped and injured Rong Zheng. However, when her people told her that Su Qingya had confessed that she had instructed the kidnapping and that the matter had already alarmed the police and that the two kidnappers were in the police's hands, Bai Yuxiu immediately broke down. He was charged with kidnapping, instigating rape, and other crimes, and could be sentenced to death if the circumstances were serious.

"All of this was done by Su Qingya, it has nothing to do with me. Those who kidnapped Rong Zheng were also Su Qingya's people."

Then his men played the recording of Bai Yuxiu identifying Su Qingya for Su Qingya to hear. Su Qingya immediately denied it, saying, "She's talking nonsense. I don't know those two people at all. She was complaining to me last night, saying that Rong Zheng hit her and threw wine at her in public, and that she would never let her get away with it!"
