"Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?"

The phone was held firmly in her small hand, played through the speaker. Qin Ning and Chen Tingting sat facing each other, staring at the phone expressionlessly, their eyes deep, remaining silent.

Chen Tingting became agitated and leaned forward, trying to get closer to the phone that was speaking, but she was unable to do so because she was bound.

"Weiran, Weiran, is that you, Weiran?"

They really do have a bit of a tragic love story.

"...It's me. Are you alright? Where are you now?"

"I don't know, I've been kidnapped. They said they'd let me go if you came to pick me up. Please come! Please, come quickly, I'm so scared..."

Upon hearing Bai Weiran's voice, Chen Tingting relaxed her guard and even burst into tears.

Qin Ning's lips twitched downwards.

I just spanked you and you didn't cry, but now you're crying in front of him, huh?

Bai Weiran, holding his phone, found the situation strange, but while comforting Chen Tingting, he offered to speak with the person who had kidnapped her.

His phone was recording audio, and he intended to use the opportunity to preserve evidence.

Unfortunately, the microphone transmitted a voice processed by a voice changer, making it impossible to tell whether it was male or female, and the tone was flat.

"I heard this is your girlfriend?"

She's my ex-girlfriend.

But how could I deny it at this point?

Otherwise, people might think Chen Tingting was calling an ex and was playing a prank on him, which could provoke him and upset him.

“Yes,” he replied calmly.

"What do you want with my girlfriend? Did she offend you in any way?" He was careful with his words, avoiding any provocative language like "kidnapper."

"She offended me."

"...How did she offend you? If possible, I'll apologize on her behalf..."

"She stole my man."

Bai Weiran: ...?

Chen Tingting: …………! ?

The person on the scene, Da Suo, said: "...I'm not very surprised."

Bai Weiran suddenly felt a headache coming on; she hadn't expected this kind of relationship.

Could it be that Chen Tingting has interfered in someone else's relationship?

He felt that his ex-girlfriend didn't seem like the type to do such a thing, but who knows? You can know a person's face but not their heart. She might have changed. It seems she offended someone she shouldn't have.

Women's jealousy is truly terrifying.

Before he could figure out what to say, the person on the other end asked again.

How do you want to compensate me?

How can I get compensation for this?

But he gritted his teeth and tried his best to come up with a plan. That's the only way to plan. He faced the challenge head-on.

He offered money, an apology, and even asked Chen Tingting to end the relationship, but she denied them all.

"So what do you want me to do?"

"...Heh, give me a man instead!"

Bai Weiran slowly typed out a question mark.

Xx

Qin Ning hung up the phone and put it away. Chen Tingting finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"...Who are you?! I haven't interfered in anyone's relationship!"

"Yes, you didn't get involved, but now you want to."

With the voice changer off, it was back to the sweet, girlish voice. The more Chen Tingting listened, the more familiar it seemed.

"You are……"

The next second, the blindfold covering her eyes was pulled down, and the sudden light made her unable to bear it for a moment. She closed her eyes, then opened them again, and Qin Ning's beautiful face came into view.

Although their expressions were completely different—

"You're that intern!?" She looked completely bewildered.

She never imagined that she would be kidnapped by an intern.

Qin Ning hooked the blindfold onto her index finger and twirled it, giving her a forced smile.

"What a coincidence, Manager Chen Tingting."

It was that familiar aura that left people speechless for a moment, and Chen Tingting was instantly dumbfounded.

She's not a fool; she considered the situation on the day of the visit and the events leading up to this point.

The person Qin Ning was referring to when she said she was stealing a man was—

"...You like him?"

The man with the lock by the door had already picked up a bag of peanuts and was eating them with great interest, showing no sign of tension.

Qin Ning looked surprised by Chen Tingting's words.

"...What are you saying?"

"I like him? No!"

Chen Tingting was taken aback by the rejection, but Qin Ning smiled while biting her lip.

That can't be explained simply by the word "like".

She wanted more—

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the deep, dark eyes that seemed devoid of light still sent a shiver down Chen Tingting's spine.

He will come to save me!

"He will come to save you." Qin Ning replied calmly, and paced around Chen Tingting's chair, leisurely circling around until she reached behind Chen Tingting. Holding onto the back of the chair, she bent down and leaned close to Chen Tingting's ear.

"But this rescue isn't because I like you," he murmured, like a devil's whisper.

“I know very well. I know what kind of person he is. I know him better than you do. I could tell last time that even though you’ve been with him for so long, you don’t understand him at all—” The girl’s fingers lightly touched Chen Tingting’s face, and Chen Tingting felt a soft yet cold touch.

Like a gentle knife that's meant to stab.

"You just see him as a good thing."

"You want it because the price is high, and you throw it away when the price is low."

These words struck a nerve, and Chen Tingting blushed.

"You're talking nonsense! You're not me, you don't understand our relationship! You don't know how good he was to me before!"

Removing her blindfold and seeing Qin Ning, and knowing that Bai Weiran was coming this way, she suddenly became bolder, angrily rebuking him, completely losing her previous tension and timidity.

This girl is really daring; she'd do something like this just to steal her boyfriend.

Enraged by this, Qin Ning didn't get angry but laughed instead.

If it were the old Lin Luo, she would definitely be furious and hysterical.

But now it's different, completely different. That crazy mentality has been systematically curbed.

She's still there, but she's learned to control the raging beast within her.

This mad beast, with shackles around its neck, is named Bai Weiran.

In order not to anger him or cross his bottom line, she could restrain this beast.

She walked back to Chen Tingting, picked up the ruler again, tilted her head to look at her, and gently tapped her palm.

"Then tell me, how good is he?"

"If you don't answer properly, I'll hit the soles of your feet with a ruler!"

The man leaning against the wall ate peanuts while listening to the interrogation, finding it increasingly outrageous.

That's incredibly detailed; even tracing one's ancestors for eighteen generations wouldn't be this thorough.

Finally, Chen Tingting responded bitterly, tears streaming down her face.

"What you're doing is illegal!"

"He'll call the police, and he'll have you arrested!"

Qin Ning laughed and put down the ruler.

"You say he will call the police, but I say he won't."

"He's not stupid!" Chen Tingting laughed coldly through her tears.

"If the address you gave is real, then he must have called the police, and he's on his way here with them right now! I advise you to let me go quickly, and I might put in a good word for you and save you a few years in jail. Intern, aren't you an adult? You'll be fully criminally responsible!"

Qin Ning rolled her eyes and gave a sweet smile.

The walkie-talkie rang, and Qin Ning went out of her room to answer it. It was a question from the security guard at the door.

This is a high-end residential community. Visitors do not need to be led by a resident or register in advance. The security guards at the gate will verify and question each visitor with the resident.

"Miss Qin Ning, a Mr. Bai Weiran has come to visit you. Is he your visitor?"

Qin Ning laughed happily, her eyes lighting up.

"Yes, he is my visitor. Please open the door for him and let him in!"

Xx

Bai Weiran was led by security guards through three gates, into the familiar courtyard, and then upstairs.

When he stood in front of the gate, his expression was a mixture of calm and helplessness.

Before I could even ring the doorbell, the door opened.
