Zhou Yanchen's figure disappeared into the dim light of the underground parking lot; the sound of his leather shoes hitting the ground echoed in the silent space.

The moment he raised his eyes, his gaze darkened. He didn't expect to run into the person he least wanted to see here.

Jiang Yubai appeared in front of him so suddenly.

Countless speculations suddenly arose in his mind. What was Jiang Yubai doing here?

Are you here to find Shen Qingli?

At almost the same moment, Jiang Yubai's sight also caught sight of Zhou Yanchen.

A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Yubai's eyes. Zhou Yanchen?

How did he get here?

Before he could think about it, Zhou Yanchen had already walked up to him with steady but cold steps. His stern face was calm, but the words he spoke seemed to be wrapped in ice: "Come to see Shen Qingli?"

Jiang Yubai was startled, his brows slightly furrowed, and doubt flashed through his mind for a moment. Zhou Yanchen actually knew 께 Li?

Before he could respond, Zhou Yanchen seemed to have seen through everything. He said, "It seems that you don't know her very well," and walked straight towards his car.

Zhou Yanchen tried his best to keep a straight face, but his heart was far from calm.

The moment he saw Jiang Yubai, he actually felt a little happy in his heart. At least from what he saw now, Shen Qingli and Jiang Yubai's relationship was not very close, which made him inexplicably relieved.

Jiang Yubai looked in the direction Zhou Yanchen drove away, full of suspicion.

What did he mean by that just now?

Did 께 Li move?

Where is she now?

Also, what is the relationship between Zhou Yanchen and 께 Li?

He returned to the car and dialed Shen Qingli's number again, but there was only a monotonous busy tone coming from the receiver.

He didn't give up and sent another WeChat message. The glaring red exclamation mark was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into his heart.

Jiang Yubai returned home and walked straight to the wine cabinet. He held two bottles of liquor in his hands and turned to the bedroom on the second floor.

He quickly tore off his coat and tie and threw them on the sofa, then opened the bottle and took a gulp of the liquor.

The pungent liquid burned along my throat, but the pain was nothing compared to the torment in my heart.

Jiang Yu has never been a good drinker of liquor, but at this moment his heart and eyes were filled with endless worries, and after a few sips, the bottle of wine was empty.

He sat paralyzed on the ground, his eyes red, looking at the photo of Shen Qingli in the album on his mobile phone, but at this moment, the tears seemed to turn into sharp thorns, piercing deeply into his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoli... I'm really sorry..."

The choked whisper dissipated in the empty room, yet seemed to linger for a long time.

I have brought harm to you.

I want to protect you and help you solve all your problems.

I overestimated my ability.

Then, as if he had gone mad, he uncorked the cap of the second bottle of wine, and the wine splashed everywhere, mixing with the tears that were rolling down his eyes, and together they were lost in this desperate catharsis.

Soon, his consciousness fell into endless darkness, and his whole body fell directly to the ground.

Secretary Jin has an urgent matter in his hand that must be handled by Jiang Yubai in person, but his consecutive calls have fallen on deaf ears and no one answered.

Having worked with Jiang Yubai for many years, he knew his boss's temper very well. He didn't care much and drove straight to Jiang Yubai's residence.

He skillfully unlocked the combination lock. The house was dead silent. His shouting received no response from the first floor. His heart tightened instantly and he quickly walked towards the bedroom on the second floor.

The door opened, and a strong, pungent smell of alcohol hit him. When he saw Jiang Yubai lying on the ground, Secretary Jin's face suddenly changed, and he rushed forward: "Boss, boss, wake up!"

No matter how much he shouted, Jiang Yubai, who was lying on the ground, did not respond at all.

His eyes swept to the wine bottle on the coffee table. Secretary Jin picked it up and saw that it was a strong liquor. He thought to himself: Did the boss drink two whole bottles?

Isn't this fate?

After calling out several times, Jiang Yubai still did not move. Secretary Jin did not dare to delay any longer and dialed the emergency number with trembling hands.

In the hospital corridor, the lights were blindingly bright. Secretary Jin paced back and forth, filled with anxiety.

The doctor came out and told Jiang Yubai that he was suffering from severe alcohol poisoning and had to have his stomach washed immediately. He also asked him to notify the patient's family to come over as soon as possible.

Secretary Jin was helpless and called Jiang's mother. His voice was full of guilt and panic: "Jiang, the boss...is suffering from severe alcohol poisoning and is now in the hospital. Please come over soon."

When Jiang's mother heard this, her face immediately darkened.

On the way to the hospital, the anger in her heart had not dissipated at all. Okay, Jiang Yubai, now you can threaten me with your own body.

On the other hand, Zhou Yanchen returned home, still restless, anxiously waiting for news from Chang You.

Time passed by, but the expected call was still not ringing. Finally, unable to hold back, he dialed Changyou's number, his tone full of impatience: "What's going on? Haven't you found Shen Qingli yet?"

Chang You was also helpless, and replied apologetically: "Boss, the brothers have searched everywhere, but they can't find Dr. Shen's location. We are still looking for him. Please wait a little longer."

Zhou Yanchen hung up the phone angrily and slammed his fist on the table, filled with anger.

He couldn't understand why it was so difficult to just find a wife.

Shen Qingli seemed to have disappeared into thin air, hiding deep in this huge city without leaving any trace.

In order to collect the 3 million for Jiang's as soon as possible, Shen Qingli found an inconspicuous hotel to live in in order to save money.

That place was a hodgepodge of people of all kinds, the location was hidden, there was little surveillance around it, and it was extremely difficult to investigate. No wonder Zhou Yanchen had spent so much effort but still got nothing.

Zhou Yanchen sat in the study, watching the sky turn pale. The faint light was like a tiny tentacles, slowly tearing open the curtain of night.

A whole night passed, and Chang You still had no news about Shen Qingli.

Where is she going?

Isn't it Beijing?

No way, didn't she spend so much effort just to prove her innocence?

Now that the truth is revealed, she has to go to Beijing.
