In the bustling shopping mall, the man stood upstairs and looked down, instantly spotting Su Ning leaving in a wheelchair.

She turned her face to the side, her expression indifferent, her gaze fixed on the road ahead. Even as passersby pointed and whispered, she remained calm and composed.

His gaze drifted down to her legs, sending shivers down his spine and causing him excruciating pain.

The long skirt that reached her ankles covered her legs, so you couldn't see what was underneath!

If it weren't for this wheelchair, no one would think that someone as beautiful and intelligent as her would be a woman with crippled legs who couldn't even stand up!

"gentlemen!"

Xu Yi's voice came from behind him, but Gu Jingchen's gaze remained fixed on the mall exit. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Soon, smoke filled his vision, shrouding his handsome face and giving off a chilling aura. His eyes had become unusually fierce at some point.

"The person is locked in the bathroom."

Xu Yi felt a chill run down his spine as he looked up at Gu Jingchen's retreating figure.

The man stood with his back straight, staring intently downstairs. He puffed on his cigarette one puff after another, and in just a short while, the smell of smoke around him became unbearably pungent, causing Xu Yi to cough twice.

"Then keep it locked up!"

His voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth. He turned his head, his usually indifferent and deep eyes now dark and gloomy, making Xu Yi's heart tremble.

Everyone thought that Mr. Gu was cold and ruthless, but in Xu Yi's opinion, Mr. Gu was even more terrifying than they thought. His coldness was just a facade; inside, Mr. Gu was paranoid, extreme, cold-blooded, ruthless, and heartless to the extreme.

Gu Jingchen quickly finished his cigarette. He reached into his pocket to take it out again, and touched the hard phone. As if remembering something, his cold eyes became even more terrifying. His calm voice carried a bloody undertone, "Let it out when it gets dark."

Xu Yi replied, "Yes." He looked at Mr. Gu, who had turned around and was now looking downstairs. Tonight, Nancheng was destined to be anything but peaceful!

No one would have imagined that Mr. Gu was ill, so ill that he loved someone to the extreme, to the point of being incurable.

Since Qiao Yimo followed Qiao Zhentian to the Su family, she has never suffered any grievances again.

In the dark storage room, she cursed Su Ning a thousand times in her heart, while she and Zhou Shanshan made a lot of noise inside.

Whether it was because of the "under maintenance" sign they had put up, or because Su Ning had done something strange when she left, the outside was eerily quiet. There wasn't even a sound of footsteps, let alone people talking.

Their phones rang one after the other, and the flashing lights gave them hope. But their mouths were stuffed with rags and their hands were tied so they couldn't struggle free. All they could do was cry. Time passed slowly, and the two of them unknowingly grew to despair.

Just as they were exhausted, they finally heard a sound outside.

The door to the storage room opened, and the bathroom light shone in, instantly stinging Qiao Yimo's eyes. When she saw that the person standing in the door was Xu Yi, she was overwhelmed with excitement, and she burst into tears, feeling both ecstatic and aggrieved.

"Where is Brother Chen? I want to see Brother Chen!"

Because she had been locked up for too long, Qiao Yimo collapsed to the ground, crying as she held Xu Yi's hand and sobbed uncontrollably.

She was determined to tell Brother Chen about the grievances she had suffered today. Su Ning had been so vicious to her; she deserved to die a horrible death!
