Sensing Si Mingyu's murderous intent, Fu Jingran casually removed his arm from the girl's shoulder, then shoved her aside and caught Si Mingyu's fist that was swinging towards his face.

Si Mingyu's face was filled with extreme ferocity. He forcefully shook off Fu Jingran's hand and then quickly punched him hard in the stomach again. Fu Jingran did not expect that his usually gentle and refined appearance would have such great strength. He lost his balance and fell backward, his back slamming hard against the shelf.

The shelf was lined with a whole row of wine bottles. Due to the violent impact, the bottles fell to the ground and spilled wine all over the floor.

The loud noise startled the supermarket staff.

Fu Jingran winced in pain, straightening his clothes slightly. He was about to continue the fight with a cold expression when he heard Si Mingyu say in a low voice, "If you don't want tomorrow's news to be full of stories about the young master of the Fu family in Nancheng getting into a fight in a supermarket and losing, you'd better stop. I'm afraid you'll lose face, and your grandfather might skin you alive. Do you believe me?" Si Mingyu curled his lips into a smirk, raising an eyebrow provocatively, threatening him without any politeness.

傅景然收了收手，心里盘算着前段时间为了要娶萧婉清的事情，他在家里可谓是大闹特闹，爷爷气得差点在70大寿的寿宴席上就要揍他，还扬言要是再敢胡作非为就要取消他的继承权。

It was only after his parents repeatedly reassured and assured him that the old man of the Fu family calmed down. In the end, the old man agreed that as long as the wedding was not ostentatious, he would tacitly accept it.

To his surprise, Xiao Wanqing pulled this stunt. His patience and emotions were completely exhausted. After all, love wasn't something these rich young masters were too obsessed with; there was no need for it.

However, if the fight escalates at this point, it will undoubtedly tarnish the Fu family's reputation. The old man has decided to settle both old and new scores, and the family will be in deep trouble. He wouldn't be so foolish as to think that something as serious as affecting his inheritance rights would be a problem.

So, Fu Jingran put his hands in his pockets, reverting to his nonchalant demeanor. As he straightened up, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach and instinctively clutched it. Then, pointing a finger at Si Mingyu, he sneered, "Si Mingyu, you win. You win today, I won't hold it against you. But let me tell you, this isn't over!"

As he spoke, he prepared to pull the terrified girl aside and leave.

"Wait a minute." Si Mingyu put down his wrinkled cuffs, straightened them, and said without looking at him, "The staff will be here soon. You stay."

"What would I do if I stayed?" Fu Jingran said angrily.

“Stay and pay up. You’re asking me to pay for all this wine on this shelf, not you?” Si Mingyu said matter-of-factly.

"You fucking hit me, and you still want me to pay you back?" Fu Jingran glanced at the staff member who was walking towards them, lowered his voice and said, his tone very displeased.

"If you weren't so foul-mouthed, would I have hit you?" Si Mingyu said with a sneer, then waved to the staff and said loudly, "This gentleman accidentally bumped into the shelf just now, and he said he would take full responsibility for compensation."

After saying that, Si Mingyu prepared to go find Shen Zhi Qiu. The moment he turned around, his face turned into a gentle smile, as if he wasn't the one who had been fighting fiercely just moments before.

But Shen Zhi Qiu was nowhere to be seen where she had been standing.

Si Mingyu walked over quickly, looking around, but he couldn't find Shen Zhi Qiu.

He quickly took out his phone to call Shen Zhi Qiu, but unexpectedly heard the phone ringing not far away.

He started searching for the sound. Finally, he spotted a woman's handbag on a shelf about seven or eight meters away from where he had been, and the sound was coming from inside.

He immediately recognized it as the small brown crossbody bag that Shen Zhi Qiu had been carrying when they met earlier.

The bag looked like it had been hastily thrown onto the shelf, and the snacks around it were swept onto the floor.

Si Mingyu pursed his lips, a bad feeling creeping into his heart: Shen Zhi Qiu must be in danger.

He quickly grabbed Shen Zhi Qiu's bag and headed straight for the security post. After a moment's hesitation, he still notified Gu Qing Yan. After all, Shen Zhi Qiu was in danger, and the Gu family's power in Nancheng was unmatched. The more people who helped, the faster they could find her.

"Qingyan, Zhiqiu is missing. She must have encountered danger." Si Mingyu tried his best to keep his voice calm.

"What?!" Gu Qingyan strode out of the ward, saying angrily, "Where did she disappear to? Is it another one of those runaway incidents? And how did you know? Were you with her?"

"Never mind that! I found Zhi Qiu's bag on the shelf. It looks like it was snatched and thrown away in the chaos," Si Mingyu said worriedly as he walked towards the police station.

Suddenly, he stopped, hung up the phone, and turned to run back to the wine shelf he had just been standing on.

Fu Jingran had disappeared from the shelf, leaving only the girl standing there, looking somewhat bewildered at the red wine scattered on the floor.

Si Mingyu rushed over, grabbed her arm, and asked with red eyes, "Where's Fu Jingran!"

"He...he left first. He gave me money to clean up this mess." The girl looked at Si Mingyu with some fear, feeling her arm getting increasingly painful, and couldn't help but complain, "You're hurting me. Let go of me!"

Si Mingyu quickly let go and lowered his eyes. "I'm so sorry, I was too impulsive!" He quickly called Fu Jingran, but Fu Jingran hung up on him directly. When he called back, the phone was switched off.

"Where did he go?" Si Mingyu asked, his face tense and furious.

"I don't know either! I'm not very familiar with him, we just met." The girl was almost crying from fright.

Si Mingyu scrutinized her eyes, and only after confirming that she didn't seem to be lying did his expression soften. He said in a low voice, "The girl who was with me just now has gone missing. I only found her bag. I was worried that something had happened to her, so I was anxious. I'm really sorry!"

"You mean that girl from earlier?" The girl looked up abruptly, not bothering to argue. "I just saw a man looking at her suspiciously!" She covered her mouth, saying incredulously, "But really, this is broad daylight in a supermarket..."

One hour later.

Shen Zhi Qiu woke up in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Nancheng.

A black cloth bag was placed over her head, and when she opened her eyes, she felt a faint ray of light coming in.

"How much ransom do we want? I heard her husband's family is really rich. We'll be rich this time! Haha."
