"Ji Xianli?"

Gu Chenye never expected that it was this hypocritical man who had kidnapped Yan Yirou.

"Okay, I understand. You just focus on saving people, I'll take care of Ji Xianli."

"Um."

Shangguan Wu responded, and the call ended.

Just as Shangguan Wu was on his way to the Yan family.

Ji Mingjing was also woken up by the noise.

"Did Ji Xianli hire the leader of the Black Knights assassin group to kidnap Yan Yirou?"

A moment later, Ji Ming pressed his temples in pain.

He truly never expected that the fool would one day stop being a fool and even do something big, but one wrong move could implicate the entire Ji family.

Ji Mingjing sat up, her brain racing as she recalled the idiot's recent whereabouts.

He had to rescue the person before the Gu family could, otherwise the Ji family would suffer a huge loss!

After all, the idiot belongs to the Ji family.

"grass!"

When Ji Mingjing opened his eyes, he cursed under his breath, got up, dressed, and went out.

At this moment, bodyguard Ji Hai was already waiting outside the door.

Upon seeing him emerge, he immediately reported, "Master, the latest news is that all transportation out of the city is currently blocked. The Black Rider leader and Miss Yan should still be in the Imperial City."

As they walked, Ji Mingjing asked, "Have you visited any of Ji Xianli's apartments?"

“We’ve sent people to keep an eye on things, but no one has seen the young master return yet,” Ji Hai replied.

Haven't gone back yet?

Ji Mingjing glanced down at the time on his watch. It was past one in the morning. Had that kid gone to a club or a hotel to sleep?

But he was always worried about living outside, so he always went back to his place at night.

This is also why Ji Xianli owns multiple properties in various locations.

Ji Xianli had a mysterious obsession with the idea that a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

Since he hadn't returned home so late, Ji Mingjing couldn't help but suspect that he had already met up with the leader of the Black Knights and might be interrogating Yan Yirou.

After taking the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, Ji Mingjing took out his phone and called Ji Xianli.

Buzz buzz buzz~

The sound of a phone vibrating rang out in the quiet space.

Du Wei and the others moved in response to the sound.

Ji Xianli hesitated for only a second before he was surrounded and trapped.

"You are..."

Just as Ji Xianli was about to question them, he suddenly saw Du Wei's face, and his expression turned extremely grim: "Shangguan Wu's men?"

"Young Master Ji, please come with me."

Du Wei looked at him expressionlessly.

Ji Xianli sneered: "What does Shangguan Wu think she is, disregarding the law? Does she think she can do whatever she wants just because she's a member of the Gu family?"

“You have two choices: either come with us while you're sober, or be carried away by us.” Du Wei asked him, “Young Master Ji, which do you choose?”

Ji Xianli: "..."

Did he even have a choice?

If you can stand, who would choose to lie down?

Ji Xianli left the underground parking garage with them, his face dark. After getting into the car, he was surrounded by Shangguan Wu's men, so he had no chance to escape.

However, Ji Xianli adapted very quickly.

Let Shangguan Wu see him if she wants. He also wants to know why she wants to see him. Anyway, Shangguan Wu is a woman and she can't possibly kill him.

Thinking of this, Ji Xianli became increasingly calm.

At 2:30 a.m., at the Yan family's residence.

Just as Shangguan Wu removed the bullet from Master Yan's right leg, he received a call from Du Wei.

Ji Xianli has been captured!

"Bring him to the Yan family."

Thinking of Rou Rou, who was still in the hands of the kidnappers, Shangguan Wu, though extremely sleepy, went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water to keep herself awake.

After waiting for nearly forty minutes, Du Wei led Ji Xianli into the Yan family's living room.

Madam Yan was taking care of Master Yan in her room and was unaware that Ji Xianli had arrived. Only Shangguan Wu was in the living room.

“Miss, this is Young Master Ji’s phone.” Du Wei handed Ji Xianli’s phone to Shangguan Wu.

Shangguan Wu answered the phone and turned it on.

Ji Xianli stared coldly at her: "Fourth Young Mistress, you have quite the airs. Aren't you afraid I'll sue you?"

Shangguan Wu casually said, "Then let's go to the police station together. We can see whether it's more serious to deliberately kidnap someone or to discipline a nephew on behalf of an elder."

What?

Ji Xianli was taken aback: "Which elder are you representing?"

He regretted it as soon as he said it, because he couldn't think of anyone else besides Ji Mingjing.

Shangguan Wu spoke nonsense with a straight face: "Your uncle, the head of the Ji family, asked me to teach you a lesson. Otherwise, if you continue like this, once you are convicted of kidnapping, you could face more than ten years in prison or even life imprisonment!"

Ji Xianli feigned ignorance: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Shangguan Wu added, "By the way, do you have a lot of savings? You might also be fined or have your property confiscated!"

Ji Xianli: "..."

"Fourth Young Madam, everything requires evidence. You are not Madam and have no right to question me." He leaned back on the sofa with an air of confidence.

Is this some kind of blatant act of feigning ignorance?!

Shangguan Wu looked into his eyes and curled her lips: "I hope you will take the initiative to tell me where Rou Rou is. It's best not to hurt a single hair on her head, otherwise you won't even have your freedom for the rest of your life, let alone be the head of the family!"

Ji Xianli asked her in surprise, "Rou Rou is missing? When did this happen? Please tell me what happened. I will help you if I can!"

His expression was full of worry, as if he really cared about Yan Yirou.

Shangguan Wu chuckled inwardly, thinking, "They're putting on quite a good act."

Just as she was about to speak, a woman's sharp voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"I want to go in. This is my Yan family's villa. How dare you stop me?"

"Get out of here right now, do you hear me?"

"I'm telling you, I'm pregnant. If anything happens to the baby in my womb, I'll make you pay with your lives!"

Yan Yixuan received news that Xianli had entered her uncle's house in the middle of the night.

Her first reaction was that it was impossible.

She and Xianli were supposed to get married on May Day, so why didn't Xianli come to her house in the middle of the night? Instead, he went to his uncle's house.

Could it be that Brother Xianli still has feelings for Yan Yirou?

Yan Yixuan couldn't sleep at the thought of this possibility, so she got up in the middle of the night and ran to her uncle's house.

When she arrived at the door, she was stopped by someone, which made Yan Yixuan even more convinced that Ji Xianli was inside.

"Brother Xianli? It's me, Xuanxuan. Come out and come home with me."

Yan Yixuan shouted loudly as she entered the room.

She wanted to make a scene so that everyone would know that Ji Xianli was Yan Yixuan's man and the father of the baby in her belly!

Yan Yixuan will not give Yan Yirou any chance; Xianli can only be hers!

But upon entering the villa, Yan Yixuan was surprised to see someone she didn't expect: "How come it's you?"

Shangguan Wu looked at her: "Who does Miss Yan think she is?"

For some reason, Yan Yixuan inexplicably avoided looking her in the eye, glancing around at herself: "Where's my sister?"

"You'll have to ask him that."

Shangguan Wu glanced at Ji Xianli and said with a half-smile, "You and he are getting married on May Day, right? The marriage between the Ji family and the Yan family is supposed to be a union between the two families, not an enmity. But he actually kidnapped your own cousin. Do you really think he wants to marry you?"
