Su Li ignored him and tried to walk directly in front of Chen Shuqing, but Xie Feng stopped her before she could get close.

"Didn't you want to check if she was hurt? Just watch her from here."

"Auntie, are you alright? Have they bullied you? Have they not given you food?"

Xie Feng found it somewhat amusing; he wouldn't go so far as to capture someone and then refuse to give her even a single meal.

Chen Shujing was excited when she heard Su Li's voice. She had been locked up for the past two days with a black cloth covering her face and had no idea where she was.

She was very worried that something had happened to Su Li, but no matter what she said, those people ignored her.

"Su Li, are you alright? Did they bully you?"

Not wanting her to worry, Su Li said in a relaxed voice, "Auntie, I'm fine, don't worry, I'll find a way to get you out."

"And what about you?"

Su Li smiled and said, "I'll go with you, Auntie. Don't worry, they kidnapped us for money. I promise to give them the money, and they'll release us then."

Hearing this, Chen Shujing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they asked for money, she was willing to give them all the money as long as they weren't harmed.

"Alright, you've taken a good look at the person, now you can rest assured!"

After saying that, Xie Feng gestured for them to take the people away. Before leaving, Chen Shujing called out to Su Li, "Su Li, if only one of you can go, you go first and don't worry about me."

"Don't worry, Auntie, we've already agreed that we can go back tomorrow."

"Good, good, good"

After everyone left, Xie Feng looked at Su Li. Theoretically, the effects of the medicine should be kicking in by now.

Su Li noticed that he didn't seem inclined to speak, only glancing at her occasionally.

It seems he's waiting for the drug to take effect so he can use her as a guinea pig.

Su Li broke the silence first: "Xie Feng, if I told you that even if you cut off my little finger, you still wouldn't have any space, would you still do it?"

"Su Li, I know you're reluctant to part with this treasure, but I promise that once I have it, it will belong to both of us."

Xie Feng actually believed Su Jiaojiao's words, because in his previous dream, he cut off the finger that bound the space before he finally truly possessed that space.

He was determined to obtain Su Li's space, no matter the cost.

"Xie Feng, before you cut my finger, can I see that jade pendant?"

"No, what if you fall? Then all my efforts will have been for nothing."

Su Li thought his idea was good. If she smashed the jade pendant in front of him, he probably wouldn't have those strange thoughts anymore!

Su Li propped her head up with her hand, swaying slightly; "My head is so dizzy! What medicine did you give me before? I feel so sleepy now!"

"It's okay, you should rest well. Everything will be alright when you wake up."

Su Li stared intently into the distance; "No, if you want me to see the jade pendant, just hold it in your hand, and I'll take a look."

She said this because she wanted to know whether the jade pendant was on him or not.

"Then wait here for a moment, I'll go get it."

Su Li nodded, "Hurry up, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep."

"Go to sleep if you want, don't force yourself. I'll show it to you when you wake up."

Su Li bit her lip so hard that her lips almost bled, but she still refused to fall asleep: "I'll just take a look, I won't do anything else."

Xie Fengjian almost bit her lip until it bled, but finally agreed, "Wait."

He figured she was under the influence of drugs, and although he didn't know why she wanted to see him, he figured it would be alright to let her see him from afar.

So he turned around and left the room, went to another room, and took the jade pendant out of the safe.

He noticed that the closer the jade pendant got to Su Li, the hotter it became. Could it be that the jade pendant could sense its owner?

He pushed the door open, and the jade pendant became even hotter; he almost dropped it because of the heat.

But in the end, reason prevailed over thought. He wrapped the jade pendant in his clothes and did not approach Su Li. Instead, he stood by the door and let her see it from afar.

"Now you see? I'll put it back first. You wait here, I'll be right back."

"etc"

Before Xie Feng could react, Su Li quickly walked up to him.

She snatched the jade pendant from his hand.

Xie Feng was surprised that Su Li didn't have the Chinese medicine and still pulled this stunt. He had personally witnessed her taking the medicine earlier.

That only means that Su Li can still use the jade pendant even if it's not with her.

"Su Li, give me back the jade pendant, or I'll have someone deal with that woman right now."

Su Li pulled Xie Feng into the room and quickly locked the door from the inside.

Then she punched and kicked Xie Feng, pulled off her socks, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Using the remaining curtain fabric, Xie Feng was tied to a stool; "Didn't you like threatening people? Why aren't you threatening people now?"

Su Li took off her shoes and slapped Xie Feng twice, saying, "Someone like you, so selfish and self-serving, still likes me? Your liking is disgusting. You like this jade pendant and want to get the space, right? Today I'm going to let you see with your own eyes how this jade pendant shatters right in front of you."

When Xie Feng saw her raise the jade pendant, he hurriedly shook his head, his eyes fixed on the jade pendant.

Su Li grabbed the jade pendant and slammed it to the ground with all her might, making a crisp, clear sound.

Xie Feng quickly closed his eyes. He really couldn't face the fact that after waiting for so long, all he got in the end was a pile of shattered pieces.

The jade pendant didn't break; instead, it bounced up and flew into Su Li's eyes.

Su Li found it very strange; she had clearly seen the jade pendant fly up and enter her body.

She felt a little dizzy, but now was not the right time for her to faint.

She pinched her thigh to force herself to calm down.

Xie Feng opened his eyes and saw nothing on the ground. He exclaimed excitedly, "Waaah!"

Where did the jade pendant go? Why are there no fragments on the ground? Did it not break?

Su Li ignored him and turned to walk outside.

Gu Huanian had just finished a mission when he received news that something had happened at home and he was told to go back as soon as possible.

He quickly went back to the courtyard where Chen Shuqing lived, opened the door with his key, and found that there was no one inside.

He was a little flustered, and Liu Wenqing hadn't been to work for the past two days, instead helping to look for people.

Hearing the door open next door, he thought Chen Shujing had returned and hurriedly ran over.

As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Huanian. Gu Huanian saw him and asked, "Have you seen my mother and Su Li?"

Liu Wenqing thought that Gu Aiguo had already told Gu Huanian about this matter, but she didn't expect that Gu Huanian still didn't know.

"They've been missing for two days."

"Disappeared for two days?"

Gu Huanian desperately forced himself to calm down; "Do you know where they went that day?"
