Three years after our breakup, my ex-boyfriend dragged me to get our marriage certificate.

Being stared at like that by a younger brother who is younger than me.

He Zhixu broke out in a cold sweat for no apparent reason.

But is the answer to this question important?

Whether he loves Lin Qingyi or not, the most important thing right now is to find Qiao Suining.

As for Lin Qingyi...

He remembered that gentle and obedient face, and her expressive eyes.

She's so understanding and considerate; even if she were here, she would understand him.

"Ah Huai, Qingyi is my woman, but I also have to deal with Qiao Suining."

"Could you help me find Qingyi? If she comes back, let me know she's safe and sound."

After saying that, He Zhixu quickly walked towards the police car.

Ji Yuhuai stood there, his fists clenched so tightly they turned white.

Wenya saw him and ran over crying, "Mr. Ji, Qingyi has really been kidnapped."

"Please tell the Qiao family that if the kidnappers demand a ransom, no matter how much it is, I will save her."

Wen Ya was sobbing uncontrollably. She had just stopped He Zhixu, trying to get him to go and save Lin Qingyi.

However, He Zhixu coldly avoided the issue, claiming that he did not know Lin Qingyi.

She had no choice.

She had no connection with the Qiao family, so she could only ask Ji Yuhuai for help.

Even this morning, when Ji Yuhuai found her and threatened her to apologize to Jiang Wenxi...

"I will kowtow and apologize to Miss Jiang. As long as you can save Qingyi, I will definitely make Miss Jiang satisfied."

"A scourge lives on for a thousand years; she'll be fine."

Ji Yuhuai spoke, his voice like ice, which frightened Wen Ya so much that she dared not cry anymore.

He quickly got into the car and sped away.

He must find the kidnappers as soon as possible.

They also need to find Lin Qingyi before He Zhixu does.

Then he will tell her in person that the man she loves doesn't even have the courage to protect her.

He would mercilessly mock her poor judgment when she was at her most vulnerable.

When Lin Qingyi woke up, she found herself tied up in a chair.

She looked around; it seemed to be an abandoned factory.

She heard someone talking.

It's Qiao Suining.

"If you dare to kidnap me, you're dead. My family will not let you get away with this."

Lin Qingyi tilted her head and looked at Qiao Suining, who was also tied up.

Her face was now full of dishevelment and fear; where was the arrogance of a young lady?

"Miss Qiao, please stop talking. It will only anger them."

Lin Qingyi reminded her in a low voice.

"You..." Qiao Suining felt a little guilty, "Weren't you angry when I went to cause trouble for you that day?"

"I'm angry." Lin Qingyi nodded. "But I won't be angry anymore since you paid me back."

"Then there's no need for you to risk your life to save me."

Qiao Suining spoke, her voice somewhat awkward.

"I... did it as a hero."

Lin Qingyi couldn't very well say that she didn't intend to risk her life to save people, but that she just thought that by shouting in broad daylight, she would scare away the kidnappers.

Who knew that a slap would leave him dizzy and powerless to resist?

Seeing Lin Qingyi's hesitant manner, Qiao Suining seemed to have thought of something.

"I see."

She nodded. "You saved me because of He Zhixu."

Lin Qingyi was stunned, her heart sinking.

Qiao Suining was also a doctor at Tianjin First Hospital before she left her job.

This is the hospital where Jiang Wenxi is currently doing her internship.

Qiao Suining returned this time not only to await her marriage, but also to rejoin Jincheng Hospital.

Once Jiang Wenxi finds out about her and He Zhixu, she'll definitely go to Qiao Suining and stir things up immediately.

Before Lin Qingyi could speak, Qiao Suining added, "I've already heard about your affair with Ji Yuhuai."

"Once I marry He Zhixu, we'll be relatives, so it's normal for you to save me."

Lin Qingyi was stunned again.

"Lin Qingyi, don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped," Qiao Suining said to herself. "I won't tell anyone about your current relationship with Ji Yuhuai."

"If the two of us get out of here alive, I guarantee you'll be able to walk around like a madman in Tianjin."

Lin Qingyi wasn't so oblivious to the meaning behind Qiao Suining's words; after all, she was a top student.

Qiao Suining knew that she and Ji Yuhuai had been together before, and she also knew that Ji Yuhuai had a current girlfriend.

Therefore, Qiao Suining misunderstood that she was still having an affair with Ji Yuhuai and was seeing Jiang Wenxi behind her back.

It wasn't a misunderstanding; she and Ji Yuhuai did indeed have dealings...

Fortunately, it's alright.

It's better to let Qiao Suining misunderstand that she still has a lingering relationship with Ji Yuhuai than to let Qiao Suining know that she is actually deeply in love with He Zhixu.

She lowered her head shyly, feigning embarrassment, and offered no further explanation.

Qiao Suining was a bit of a chatterbox and kept talking to her.

If the kidnappers hadn't come in with gleaming machetes, Qiao Suining would have insisted on making her recount her dark history of jumping off the building.

"Do you know who I am? If you release me now, you might still have a chance to live."

Qiao Suining turned pale with fright when she saw the machete.

"The daughter of Director Qiao Zhenxiong." The kidnapper sneered, "I can't kill Qiao Zhenxiong, but killing his only daughter isn't a loss."

Lin Qingyi spoke tremblingly, "Brother kidnapper, actually I hate her too."

I was digesting my food in the alley when I saw her being dragged away by you guys...

He thought he could take this opportunity to save her and then ask her family for a thank-you fee.

Lin Qingyi swallowed hard, her voice innocent yet frightened: "I really didn't know it was this kind of feud."

She just mocked me for jumping off a building because of a man. She covets my man. I hate her to death…

"Shut up," the man wearing the One Piece mask snapped.

Lin Qingyi was persistent and spoke faster and faster.

"Throw her next door."

The man turned to the person next to him and gestured with his chin, "So noisy."

Lin Qingyi was thrown to the ground. Before she could get up, a masked man walked in.

"You just said you hate her?" The man seemed to be seeking confirmation of something.

Lin Qingyi paused, her mind racing, then suddenly looked up, her voice low, "Young man, your surname is Zhou, right?"

The man's body visibly stiffened. "Since you know who I am, don't blame me for not giving you a way out."

"What good would it do to kill me, to kill Qiao Suining?"

Lin Qingyi adjusted her breathing, trying to appear as composed as possible. "Your father's case can't be overturned; you risked your life."

Your whole family will be forever condemned to shame.

Since you're not even afraid of death, why don't you go and help your father overturn the verdict?

Instead, are we going to do these stupid things... that kill eight hundred enemies but lose a thousand of our own?

The man ripped off the Pirate King's hood and stared at her with bloodshot eyes.

"What do you know! My father is dead, my mother committed suicide, there's nothing I can do, I can't even see Qiao Zhenxiong."

The male college student, who should have been full of youthful energy, now had a gloomy and violent look on his face.

Lin Qingyi looked up at him and suddenly felt a little dazed.

It turns out that ferocity, despair, and resentment can make a person so ugly and insane.

But she thought the man in front of her was incredibly handsome at that moment.

Sometimes she even felt that being at her wit's end wasn't so bad.

At least you can do things freely and without any worries.

Just like him.

"I understand." Lin Qingyi lowered her eyes.

The man stared at her for a long time. "What do you know?"
