Mr. Song, you have crossed the line.

Upon hearing the words "kill him," Bai Yuxiu's eyes blazed with a devastating hatred. "I will kill them! I will tear them to pieces!"

they?

There was more than one person?

Lu Peichuan's pupils dilated in shock, followed by a surge of rage. He clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.

He struggled to suppress his surging anger and patiently asked, "Where did you go yesterday? What happened?"

"I had arranged to have dinner with Qingya at a restaurant... I was knocked unconscious as soon as I arrived... When I woke up, I was handcuffed and locked in an unfamiliar place... They interrogated me about whether I had ordered the kidnapping of Rong Zheng... and then..."

Bai Yuxiu's mind flashed back to the image of that ragged, smelly beggar, "They let a beggar rape..."

She couldn't say anything more at this point and burst into tears.

Lu Peichuan realized that this was a planned kidnapping, and the kidnappers were quite numerous. They were after Rong Zheng's kidnapping and, after learning the truth, they hired a beggar to humiliate Bai Yuxiu.

"What about Qingya?"

"She was kidnapped too." Bai Yuxiu gritted her teeth as she thought of Su Qingya. She gripped Lu Peichuan's hand tightly. "Su Qingya is a terrible person. When something happened, she pushed all the blame onto me!"

"Was she violated?" Lu Peichuan asked, his fingers twitching slightly.

A twisted smile appeared in Bai Yuxiu's tear-filled eyes. "She's younger than me, and her fate is even worse. She deserves it all."

Lu Peichuan recalled that when he led people to the Su family to find Su Qingya, her reaction was just as agitated and emotionally unstable as Bai Yuxiu's. In the end, when she learned that Rong Zheng was alright, she even vomited blood in anger. It turned out that she had tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead.

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

Today at the Su family home, Su Qingya also kept quiet about it.

Bai Yuxiu, recalling the camera that had been set up nearby at the time of the incident, looked on with despair and cried, "They filmed me... and threatened me that if I dared to tell anyone... they would release the video..."

After saying that, she covered her face and burst into tears.

Lu Peichuan's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp, his brows and eyes so sinister they could drip water. Just who was it that had such ruthless methods?

Suddenly, he remembered that when he went to deal with the two men who had hurt Rong Zheng, he saw that there was also a camera set up in the room.

Because Bai Yuxiu and Su Qingya wanted Rong Zheng to be humiliated, the other party used the same method on Bai Yuxiu and Su Qingya.

This tit-for-tat retaliatory method was clearly intended to help Rong Zheng vent her anger.

Besides him, who else in Jiangcheng would treat Rong Zheng so well?

To be able to kidnap Bai Yuxiu and Su Qingya without anyone noticing, and to do everything without anyone knowing who did it, is something that not just anyone can do.

Lu Peichuan suddenly remembered the mastermind who had stirred up trouble behind the scenes a while ago, exposed his extramarital affair, and forced him to divorce Rong Zheng in order to stabilize the situation.

To this day, he still hasn't found out who that person is.

That person seemed to appear out of nowhere, manipulating everything from behind the scenes, and then vanished without a trace once the dust settled.

Their capabilities and methods are exactly the same as this time.

Could it be that the same person was behind both of these incidents?

Last time it was to help Rong Zheng get a divorce; this time it's to help Rong Zheng take revenge for being kidnapped.

The person behind that is targeting Rong Zheng!

Does Rong Zheng know about these things?

Lu Peichuan recalled Rong Zheng's firm stance on divorce, and how no matter how much he repented, she refused to forgive him and gave him no chance. Could it be that she had already fallen in love with someone else?

He wasn't the only one having an extramarital affair; she did too?

The thought of this possibility made Lu Peichuan feel as if a fire was burning in his chest. The feeling of being deceived and betrayed was like a wildfire, burning his heart.

His eyes flashed with a fury and hatred that wanted to grind someone to dust!

He must find this adulterer who dared to steal his wife; he will make him wish he were dead!

After comforting Bai Yuxiu, Lu Peichuan left the ward and found a quiet place to call Su Yichen.

If someone has made a move against Su Qingya, Su Yichen will definitely not let it go.

Since the Lu family's influence can't find that person, what about adding the Su family's influence?

The Su family has connections in both the legal and illegal worlds; he simply doesn't believe there's anyone in Jiangcheng they can't find.

Beijing.

The next day, Rong Zheng woke up and opened her eyes. She was momentarily disoriented by the unfamiliar surroundings. After a couple of seconds, she realized that she was in a sanatorium. As she was about to get up, she turned her head and saw that Song Shiyan was sleeping on the edge of her bed.

She was still holding his hand tightly!

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

She immediately let go of his hand and sat up abruptly from the bed.

Song Shiyan was startled awake. He slowly stood up, supporting himself on the edge of the bed. His legs felt numb, and the hand that Rong Zheng had been holding was also numb and had lost all feeling.

He looked at Rong Zheng, gently massaging her arm to promote blood circulation, and said, "Awake?"

His voice was deep and slightly hoarse from just waking up, sexy and magnetic.

Rong Zheng was so shocked her eyes almost popped out. "You... how did you get in my room?"

"You had a nightmare last night, so I came to see you. You wouldn't let go of my hand, so I had no choice but to stay."

Rong Zheng recalled the scene from her dream last night. She had indeed had a nightmare. In the dream, she smelled a cool, woody fragrance, and she clung tightly to that scent. Could it be...?

Her surprised gaze fell on Song Shiyan. He had that same scent, so she was grabbing Song Shiyan in her dream?

Rong Zheng's cheeks flushed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Song Shiyan nodded slightly. "Yes, I know."

Rong Zheng: "..."

How can he be so calm?

A man and a woman alone in a room, she held his hand and slept all night, but such an outrageous thing did not stir up the slightest ripple in his eyes.

Is he too emotionally stable, or does he simply not care?

Knock knock knock!

A knock sounded at the door, followed by Duan Yunshu's voice, "Yiyi, are you up?"

Rong Zheng stared wide-eyed at Song Shiyan with a panicked expression, "Your mother."

Song Shiyan frowned slightly. "Hmm."

Rong Zheng was extremely anxious.

What if Duan Yunshu sees Song Shiyan and scratches him again, thinking he's a liar?

Also, how do you explain the fact that she and Song Shiyan, a single man and woman, were alone in a room together?

In Duan Yunshu's eyes, she was her son's fiancée. How could Duan Yunshu not have an emotional breakdown if her future daughter-in-law was in the same room with a swindler?

No matter what the considerations are, Duan Yunshu must not be allowed to see Song Shiyan!

Rong Zheng lowered her voice and whispered, "You should hide quickly."

Song Shiyan looked around and found there was nowhere for him to hide. "Where can I hide?"

Rong Zheng looked around in a panic, her gaze finally settling on the wardrobe. She pointed and said, "Hide there."

Song Shiyan followed Rong Zheng's finger and looked over, his handsome brows furrowing slightly. "Too small, there's no room to hide."

"You curl up inside."

Song Shiyan: "..."

"Go quickly." Rong Zheng gently nudged Song Shiyan.

At this moment, Duan Yunshu's voice came again, "Yiyi, I'm coming in."

The sound of a lock turning came from the doorway.

Rong Zheng was shocked; it was too late!
