He then looked at the woman and lowered his voice, saying, "Wanrou, stay home and wait for me."

The woman, whom the man called Wanrou, nodded shyly.

Qian Ruizhi then reluctantly withdrew.

The secretary, who had been angrily reprimanded at the door, waited anxiously, staring longingly at the locked door.

Just then, they suddenly heard a dense sound of footsteps coming from the stairwell and looked over in confusion.

I was immediately startled.

Before long, a group of well-trained bodyguards in black appeared in front of the secretary.

The leader gave the secretary a death stare, which frightened her so much that she swallowed the words she was about to say.

The leader quickly looked away, then gestured to the people behind him, and a bodyguard in black stepped forward and kicked open the door.

Then a group of people rushed in.

The two people in the room were startled by the sudden turn of events. Wanrou on the bed immediately screamed, "Ah...ah..."

At the same time, he didn't forget to pull the blanket over his naked body. Qian Ruizhi, who had already gotten up, wasn't so lucky and gave everyone a nude performance.

Immediately, Qian Ruizhi shouted angrily, "Get out! Who let you in!"

Suddenly, he turned his head and was stunned.

The person in front of him was not one of his people.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on private property!"

The leader glanced disdainfully at the body covered in flabby flesh, then looked away and said, "I advise Mr. Qian to put his clothes on properly before talking to me."

Upon hearing this, Qian Ruizhi looked down and his face immediately turned bright red.

After hurriedly putting on his clothes, he glared at the leader and angrily shouted, "Now you can tell me who you are! I'd like to see who has the audacity to disregard me, Qian Ruizhi!"

Upon hearing this, the leader sneered and said, "Why don't you go and see for yourself?"

He then beckoned to his subordinates and said, "Take him away!"

Then, the two men in black approached Qian Ruizhi.

Seeing this, Qian Ruizhi felt a sense of panic and asked, "Who are you! We have no grudge against each other, why are you kidnapping me?"

The other party knew his identity and still wanted to kidnap him; he had a bad feeling about this. But then he thought about it, and realized he hadn't offended anyone recently, so why would they want to kidnap him?

Qian Ruizhi was completely confused.

The leader said coldly, "Mr. Qian, you're joking. Our boss is just 'inviting' you over."

"In addition, we are 'inviting' you over because we have something to discuss with you. You'll find out what it is when you get there."

Without waiting for Qian Ruizhi's reply, he said to his men, "Take him away!"

As for Wanrou in bed, they had absolutely no interest in her. An unknown mistress was clearly not part of their plans.

When Qian Ruizhi was taken away, he saw the secretary at the door and immediately gave the secretary a meaningful look.

Seeing so many people, the secretary's initial desire to save Qian Ruizhi waned.

He simply couldn't defeat so many people.

However, he understood Qian Ruizhi's hint just now.

Just as they were about to leave and make their move, everything suddenly went black.

The secretary looked up and saw the person who had just stared at him with a deathly gaze, and a sudden panic gripped him.

Just as he was about to speak but hadn't yet uttered a word, the leader said coldly, "Don't try anything funny! Otherwise, your fate will be even worse than his!"

Upon hearing this, the secretary was immediately stunned.

"Did you understand?"

The secretary nodded. "Understood, understood."

Upon seeing this, the leader turned around and left with the others.

After everyone left, the secretary felt as if she had just returned from a trip to the underworld.

Mr. Qian, it's really not that I don't want to call the police for you, it's just that I only have one life, and I have to cherish it.

...

At the same time, in the Qian family of the capital.

Standing in front of the dressing mirror, Zhang Shufang looked at her beautiful daughter in the mirror and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"My dear daughter, if only you were healthy."

Now you're all I have left, so you must get better soon. I'll do anything to help you get better.

Ever since returning from the research institute, Qian Xinman has become mentally unstable. And Qian Ruizhi hasn't returned home for several months since leaving that night.

She knew perfectly well that she was past her prime, while he was now successful and charming, naturally attracting many women who wanted to woo him.

In the past, I would never have let him do this, but now, nothing is more important than my daughter's health.

With her daughter in this condition, she naturally needed careful care, so she didn't have much time to attend to her.

Qian Xinman stared blankly at herself in the mirror, then suddenly turned to Zhang Shufang and asked urgently.

"Mom, where is Brother Yuxuan? I want to see him."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shufang felt a pang of pain in her heart and said, "Yuxuan has gone abroad to study. He'll come to see you when he gets back, Man'er, be good."

Qian Xinman said, "Brother Yuxuan went abroad, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love Man'er, right? He'll marry me when he comes back, right?"

Zhang Shufang felt very sad, but she nodded nonetheless.

"Yes, Man'er, be good."

Qian Xinman then calmed down.

Seeing Qian Xinman in this state, Zhang Shufang could only imagine how distressed she felt.

At the same time, he developed a twisted hatred for Jian Yixue.

In her view, her daughter's current state was all Jian Yixue's fault. If it weren't for her, given her daughter's looks and the relationship between the two families, how could Man'er not be the best choice for Yu Xuan's other half?

It's all her fault!

It's all her fault!

What a promiscuous slut!

Just then, a noise came from the main gate.

Then she heard the servants' panicked voices.

Who are you?

“Hey hey hey…who let you in, you…”

The servants tried their best but couldn't stop the swarming bodyguards.

Soon, the group arrived at the second floor.

Worried that she would frighten her daughter, Zhang Shufang comforted her and then hurriedly left the house.

The maid happened to see Zhang Shufang and immediately frowned, saying helplessly, "Madam, I don't know what these people are doing, they insisted on forcing their way in, and I couldn't stop them..."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shufang felt a pang of panic.

When facing the maid, she still tried to remain calm and said, "It's alright, you can go now."

The maid glanced back and forth between Zhang Shufang and the bodyguards before finally choosing to leave.

After everyone left, Zhang Shufang looked at the bodyguards and said, "Leave now, I won't call the police."

Upon seeing this, the head of the bodyguards said coldly, "Our master 'invites' you to be a guest."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shufang immediately realized something was wrong and quickly said, "I'm not going."

"That's not up to you." Then the two men stepped forward and helped Zhang Shufang downstairs.
