On this day, a rare guest arrived at the villa. Dressed in a suit and tie, he was an elite lawyer.

The two were talking in the living room. Xia Linyin overheard a few words and guessed that Yin Yichen, Shangguan Xin, and Gao Haichuan had probably called the police and wanted to use the police to deal with Xiao Li.

Putting on a black bowler hat, Li Shang kissed Xia Linyin's forehead. "Baby, I'm going out for a bit. I'll be right back. Be a good girl and wait for me at home."

Xia Linyin nodded, watching Li Shang leave.

After Li Shang left, Xia Linyin quickly returned to her room and dialed Shangguan Xin's number, "I accept your plan, send the poison over."

After a moment of silence, a voice came from the other end of the phone that made Xia Lin feel as if she had been plunged into an ice cellar, "Baby, are you trying to poison me?"

The receiver slipped from her hand, and Xia Linyin's heart began to pound uncontrollably, like a drumbeat.

It felt like an eternity had passed, yet also like only a short time had gone by, when the doorknob suddenly began to turn slowly.

Xia Linyin's hair immediately stood on end, and her scalp tingled.

With a creak, the door opened, and Li Shang's tall and slender figure appeared in the doorway, holding a mobile phone in his hand.

After calming herself down, Xia Linyin asked in a cold voice, "Did you tamper with the phone?"

Li Shang walked towards Xia Linyin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. Her feet landed silently, as elegant as a leopard cat slowly approaching its prey. "I was just afraid that when my darling was looking for me, she might accidentally dial the wrong number and not be able to reach me immediately, so I had all the home calls forwarded to me."

"This is nothing short of imprisonment! This villa is a prison, a cage, cutting me off from all contact with the outside world, leaving me only able to see you and hear your voice. I've had enough of you!"

Faced with Xia Linyin's agitated accusations, Li Shang simply looked at her with an extremely doting gaze, as if he could gently indulge and include everything about Xia Linyin.

“Baby, tell me, what is your plan?” Li Shang stared at Xia Linyin, his eyes dark and deep, like a vortex that could devour one’s soul.

"I..." Under Li Shang's hypnosis, Xia Linyin's gaze gradually became unfocused, and then she poured out her entire plan like beans spilling out.
