"My dear sister, you've really gotten used to being the high and mighty Mrs. Zhan, thinking everything will go your way, is that it?" Cheng Zaozao sneered. "Do you really think you can send me to prison?"

Qiao Wanwan frowned. "So you still have a backup plan?"

Her arrival was sudden, without any prior notice. Logically, Cheng Zaozao shouldn't have known that she was here to confront him.

“From the day Zhan Jingting kicked me out of Wutong Bay, I knew this day was coming, so of course I had to make plans early.” Cheng Zaozao raised her hand to admire her manicured nails. “Didn’t you notice that Zhan Yin didn’t come back to Wutong Bay last night?”

Qiao Wanwan suddenly realized, "What did you do to Zhan Yin? Zaozao, Zhan Yin has always considered you his best friend, don't hurt him!"

“Since Wutong Bay is so heavily guarded, and other people don’t go out easily, I can only keep an eye on him.” Cheng Zaozao said calmly, “Sister, my demands have never changed. I don’t want you to die. I also know that you can’t agree to let Zhan Jingting exchange for Zhan Yin. Zhan Yin is not qualified to be compared with Zhan Jingting.”

“But I think…” Cheng Zaozao took a bottle out of her pocket and placed it on the coffee table, “Wouldn’t Zhan Yin, a living, breathing person, be more important than an unborn child…?”

Qiao Wanwan's pupils suddenly contracted. "You want me to trade the child's life for Zhan Yin's life!"

"Sister, aren't you the kindest?" Cheng Zaozao scoffed. "If Zhan Yin were to die like this, you wouldn't forgive yourself, would you? After this child is born, every time you look at him, you'll remember that Zhan Yin died because of you. Will you be at peace then?"

"Cheng Zaozao, you're despicable!" Jiang Nan pulled out a gun and pointed it at Cheng Zaozao. "Hand over Young Master Yin right now, or I'll shoot you dead!"

"Go ahead and shoot!" Cheng Zaozao said fearlessly. "If you shoot, Zhan Yin won't survive..."

Qiao Wanwan said, "Jiangnan, put the gun down."

"lady......"

"lay down."

Jiangnan had no choice but to put away his gun.

Qiao Wanwan picked up the bottle on the coffee table, opened it, smelled it, and smiled faintly, "It's the poison that Tianxia put in the roast duck."

“That’s right. As long as you take a sip, I will release Zhan Yin immediately. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt much, and you won’t die.”

Qiao Wanwan looked at Cheng Zaozao, her fingertips twirling slightly, and the liquid in the bottle poured onto the floor. "I won't trade my child's life for Zhan Yin's, because you won't keep your promise. Even if I take the medicine and abort the child, Zhan Yin will still die. This will double the pain for Jing Ting and me, and only then can you achieve your goal..."

Cheng Zaozao burst out laughing, "Sister, congratulations, you understand me better and better... That's right, just like Zhan Jingting won't let me go, I won't let you go either."

Jiang Nan was extremely anxious. "Aren't you afraid of death? Release Young Master Yin now, and Master Zhan might spare your life!"

"Death?" Cheng Zaozao scoffed as if she had heard a joke. "From the day Brother Lin Mo died, I have been a dead person. Do you think a dead person is afraid of death?"

"Zaozao, turn back now," Qiao Wanwan said, her voice choked with emotion. "It might not be too late to turn back now."

"In this world, some people can turn back, but some can't." Cheng Zaozao closed her eyes. "If I turn back, I'll only see the pain of losing my beloved, the pain of having nothing left. I don't want to endure that pain anymore..."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Jiang Dong arrived with the police and took Cheng Zaozao away.

"Madam, are you alright?" Jiang Dong stepped forward and asked.

"I'm fine. Is Zhan Yin really missing?"

“Yes, Young Master Yin’s phone is switched off. His last call was to Cheng Zaozao last night,” Jiang Dong reported. “Moreover, the Sky Eye system shows that his last appearance was when he went down to the underground parking garage with Cheng Zaozao in the elevator here, and he hasn’t been seen since.”

"So, he's either in the garage or he was taken somewhere else, but he completely escaped the Sky Eye system's tracking?"

"That's what I mean. Our people are searching the garage."

"Let's go take a look!"

Qiao Wanwan went to the garage and found Cheng Zaozao's car. "After the two of them went downstairs, did Zaozao drive Zhan Yin away?"

Jiang Dong said, "The video from the garage yesterday was deleted. I guess she did it too, to keep others from knowing where she went."

Qiao Wanwan frowned and quickly said, "This is a property under the Dijin Group. I remember that the surveillance cameras at the garage entrance and inside the garage are separate. Go and check the surveillance footage at the entrance!"

"yes."

Several people arrived at the monitoring room, but during the time Cheng Zaozao and Zhan Yin went downstairs, Cheng Zaozao's car did not leave the garage.

"Madam, her car hasn't left the garage."

“That means she has another car.” Qiao Wanwan stared at the computer screen. “Go back to the time after they went downstairs and take a good look at the cars coming out of each entrance.”

"yes."

Soon, Qiao Wanwan noticed something amiss. "Exit 2, that SUV, zoom in and show it to me."

The image was zoomed in, and Jiang Dong said, "Madam, there is no one sitting in the passenger seat of this car."

“Of course no one would sit in the passenger seat. If she wanted to kidnap Zhan Yin, would she let him sit in the passenger seat and be tracked by the Sky Eye system?” Qiao Wanwan pondered. “She must have drugged him and put him in the trunk.”

"Then why is Madam so certain that it is this car?"

"Although the driver was wearing a hat and a mask, her build was very similar to Zaozao's, and she was also wearing gloves because she has manicures. We immediately used the surveillance system to track the car's whereabouts."

"yes!"

Jiang Dong went to check the vehicles, while Jiang Nan led a team to search Cheng Zaozao's house, hoping to find some clues. Qiao Wanwan returned to the Dijing Group first.

Zhan Jingting saw the whole thing through the device on Jiang Nan's chest. When he saw Qiao Wanwan, he immediately hugged her and said, "Wanwan, I know you're in pain. If you can't take it anymore, just cry."

“It’s very painful, but when I think about it carefully, there’s nothing to cry about.” Qiao Wanwan said rationally, “The most important thing now is to find Zhan Yin. He has been missing since last night. If he is trapped and has no food or water, he won’t last long.”

“I know, I have already sent people to conduct a thorough search.”

News quickly came from Jiangdong: "Master Zhan, Madam, we've checked. That SUV was indeed rented by Cheng Zaozao. According to the Sky Eye system, it went to the western suburbs. She turned at an intersection and drove into an area without surveillance. I've already sent people to look for her."

His men searched until nightfall, but they couldn't find Zhan Yin, nor was there any trace of the car.

Qiao Wanwan was so worried that she couldn't eat, but she was helpless and could only fret anxiously.

“Wanwan, let me go talk to Zaozao,” said the Ghost Hand Doctor. “I practically raised her; maybe I can reason with her and appeal to her emotions.”
