I must say, it tastes really good, comparable to Lin Ma's cooking.

I wonder where Ye Mohan, this prodigy, found such a skilled chef; this isn't in China.

If Lin Yi heard these words, he would definitely want to cry.

He spent countless hours this afternoon trying to hire this chef.

After dinner, Ye Mohan went back to his room to handle some business. Jian Yixue felt a bit full and thought she would go for a walk outside the villa.

Jian Yixue knew that Ye Mohan had deployed a lot of people in the shadows inside the villa, so she felt at ease going outside for a stroll.

But what Jian Yixue didn't know was that from the moment she first appeared at the villa's entrance, her information was known to a mysterious man hundreds of kilometers away, who then had someone investigate her background.

As she stepped out of the villa, her information was relayed by someone monitoring the villa from a distance to a mysterious man in a private mansion hundreds of kilometers away.

The person monitoring the situation nearby had just sent the message when they received a reply.

When he saw the two big characters "Action" on his phone, he thought he had misread it because he hadn't been resting lately. He rubbed his eyes and looked again before confirming that he hadn't misread it.

Then, he summoned several subordinates and instructed them to start carrying out their respective tasks.

Meanwhile, outside the villa, Jian Yixue was rubbing her stomach and pacing back and forth to aid digestion.

As darkness fell, Jian Yixue rubbed her hands, feeling that she had almost finished digesting her food, and prepared to go back.

As she turned around, she caught a glimpse of something in the corner of the villa's wall.

Driven by curiosity, she tiptoed over and saw a small, all-black dog. The dog seemed a little uneasy when it saw someone approaching.

Jian Yixue reached out and stroked its head, trying to soothe its anxiety, her voice gentle, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Under Jian Yixue's gentle reassurance, the dog, which had been trembling all over, seemed to sense that Jian Yixue did not want to harm him and gradually calmed down.

Seeing that the puppy seemed to trust her, Jian Yixue picked it up and prepared to go back to the villa.

Just then, Jian Yixue realized someone was behind her. Before she could make a move, she was knocked unconscious from behind and collapsed to the ground.

The puppy in Jian Yixue's arms instantly turned fierce, staring intently at the man in black and barking.

Upon seeing this, the man in black struck the puppy with a stick, and the puppy immediately fainted.

The man in black glanced around, breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing that no one had noticed, carried Jian Yixue away from the scene.

When Jian Yixue woke up, she opened her eyes and saw a gray ceiling, which puzzled her. Then she looked around the room, which was decorated in the same color scheme.

His brows furrowed, and his doubts deepened.

Where is this?

She didn't recall having a room with that color scheme in the villa.

Jian Yixue sat up, pulling on her shoulder, which made her wince in pain.

Seeing the dark solid wood floors in the room, she became even more certain that this was not a villa.

He shook his head, pondering.

She remembered that she went out for a walk after breakfast, and when she was about to go back, she encountered a small dog. She was about to pick it up and take it back to the villa when she noticed someone behind her... and then she lost consciousness.

Was he kidnapped?

Tianle, she was once a top-notch international assassin, how could she have fallen to the point of being kidnapped?

Is her alertness really that bad?

It seems I need to go back to grueling training.

If someone else had wanted to take her life, she would probably be meeting the King of Hell by now.

Jian Yixue looked around, thinking, "This isn't like being kidnapped!"

After thinking it over and over but still not figuring it out, she touched her aching shoulder, got out of bed, and prepared to go out and check on the situation.

Jian Yixue pushed open the door and went out, only to find that it was a two-story villa. The whole room was decorated in a classic style and had a lot of charm.

If the situation weren't so bad, she would really like to take a good look at it.

Jian Yixue walked all the way to the living room on the first floor without encountering a single person, which puzzled her greatly.

Is this kidnapping or not?

I've never seen kidnapping done so casually before.

Do you think she can't escape?

That's underestimating her!

Just as Jian Yixue was about to go out to take a look, the villa's door was pushed open, and a person walked in through the light.

A tall, slender man with a straight back, wearing a custom-made khaki business suit, walked over.

Upon closer inspection, Jian Yixue realized that this man's appearance was comparable to Ye Mohan's.

"You're awake. Would you like something to eat?" the man in front of Jian Yixue asked with great concern.

? ? ?

What kind of tactic is this?

Could this be the latest kidnapping method?

"Brother, you must have made a mistake. I was kidnapped by you, do you know that?"

Jane was startled by the man's actions and kindly offered an explanation.

"Don't talk nonsense. You were invited here as a guest. I've already punished those two people, and you'll never see them again. Don't be afraid."

The man's tone was undeniably indulgent, and his face even held a hint of tenderness.

Jian Yixue doubted that she must have seen wrong; this was their first meeting, and it was under duress from her.

impossible!

Who are you? Do we know each other?

Jane asked cautiously.

She searched her memory, but there was no record of him.

If she knew him, she couldn't possibly have no recollection of such an outstanding man.

Upon hearing Jian Yixue's question, the man's expression turned slightly hurt, and he looked at Jian Yixue with a forlorn expression.

"Jiang Xuanjin".

If his men saw Master Jin like this, they would probably be shocked. Is this still the Master Jin who would be scared half to death by the mere mention of his name in the underworld?

After hearing his name, Jian Yixue searched her mind thoroughly, but still found nothing.

She doesn't remember this person in either her past or present life!

Then what's with that pitiful expression on his face?

She swore to God that she had not done anything to betray Ye Mohan.

"Oh, what's with that expression? Have we met before?" Jian Yixue cautiously probed.

She couldn't remember where she had seen him before, but seeing that he wouldn't let it go, she had no choice but to ask.

"No, let's eat."

Jiang Xuanjin put away his expression and spoke without any emotion.

Then he walked past Jian Yixue without giving her a second glance.

Jian Yixue turned around as he walked away, looking completely bewildered. Wasn't this what he wanted her to ask?

Why did he get angry in the end?

Jian Yixue rolled her eyes and remained silent for a moment.

They say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, but she thinks a man's heart is truly unfathomable.

Forget it, the most important thing now is to find a way to send a message to Ye Mohan. I don't know how worried he will be if I go missing.

She woke up to find her phone missing, and she knew without a doubt that someone had taken it.

She walked slowly to the dining table where Jiang Xuanjin was sitting and sat down opposite him. "Mr. Jiang, could you please return my phone to me? My family must be worried about me if I suddenly disappear. I just wanted to let them know I'm safe."
