Jiang Xuanjin pressed a special button on the table, looked up, and stared at Jian Yixue with a cold gaze. "No, focus on having dinner with me."

Jian Yixue: "..."

Damn it, I got my phone back, what the hell is this "refusal" about?

This is infuriating!

If she weren't under someone else's roof and had no choice but to bow her head.

She would argue with him several times before she would stop!

For now, we can only hold back and see how things go tonight.

There's hardly anyone inside this villa; who knows what's going on outside?

This man doesn't seem like a simple person; it's best not to provoke him.

Soon, the servants began serving the dishes.

Looking at the table full of Western dishes, Jian Yixue had no appetite at all, and her whole demeanor was listless and displeased.

Seeing Jiang Xuanjin eating elegantly out of the corner of her eye, Jian Yixue had no choice but to pick up her chopsticks as well.

——

On the other side, the atmosphere in the room was terrifyingly tense. Ye Mohan, sitting on the sofa, was furious and his brows were furrowed. His eyes were fixed on the person who had disappeared from the surveillance video.

Lin Yi, who was standing in front of him, didn't dare to breathe loudly, his head down and his face full of self-blame.

It was his mistake that led to his wife being kidnapped at his own doorstep, and the crucial point is that he didn't even know which side was involved.

"Haven't you found it yet?"

Ye Mohan's voice was icy and piercing, as cold as the wind in the dead of winter. He looked at Lin Yi with extreme displeasure, like a Yama, the King of Hell, who had returned from hell to claim lives.

Lin Yi felt as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice cave, a chill rising from the air, and he couldn't help but shiver.

It's so cold!

The last time I saw the president this angry was several years ago. I never imagined that his wife would be so important to him now.

"The investigation is still ongoing. The place where the lady disappeared is a blind spot for surveillance cameras, and no useful clues have been found, making the investigation somewhat difficult."

After saying that, Lin Yi couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and stood aside, not daring to breathe.

The angry CEO's aura was so powerful that he was finding it hard to withstand.

"Then what are you still standing here for! Go and search! Have everyone in the villa go out and search. If you can't find it, don't come back."

Ye Mohan's anger surged to his brain, and he couldn't help but roar at Lin Yi, his fury becoming increasingly evident on his face.

Lin Yi remained standing still, his brows furrowed, seemingly not agreeing with Ye Mohan's decision.

There are countless people watching us right now. If we take everyone away in such a high-profile manner and someone with ulterior motives needs them urgently, it could cause a huge mess.

Lin Yi glanced at Ye Mohan, who was furiously sitting on the sofa not far away, and wanted to go over and persuade him, but he swallowed the words back and then turned and left.

He understood that the president's greatest concern at that moment was his wife's safety. Rather than trying to persuade her, he should focus on finding her as soon as possible.

After Lin Yi left, Ye Mohan leaned back on the sofa, reached out to support his forehead, and rubbed his temples. His mind was filled with memories of being with Jian Yixue.

He didn't feel anything normally, but when he heard the news that Jian Yixue was missing, a sense of panic arose in his heart.

Unbeknownst to him, Jian Yixue had quietly entered his heart, without his realizing it.

Lin Yi arrived in the living room, gathered everyone together, gave them instructions, and then sent them all out to search for the person.

Ye Mohan in the bedroom was also busy. He opened his laptop and checked all the nearby surveillance cameras, trying to find Jian Yixue.

Ye Mohan and his team were caught in a tense atmosphere as they searched for Jian Yixue.

——

On the other side, Jian Yixue, who had finished eating with Jiang Xuanjin, stared blankly at the man sitting on the living room sofa reading a book. She had to admit, he was quite good-looking.

Seeing that he was engrossed in his book, Jian Yixue continued to look around at her current situation.

It seemed that only she and Jiang Xuanjin were in the entire villa. The maid who had served the food earlier had come in from somewhere, and after the meal, she took away the food and never appeared again.

Besides the main door Jiang Xuanjin came through, there should be other doors leading out of the living room, but now is not a good time to explore them.

Just as Jian Yixue was racking her brains for a way to escape, Jiang Xuanjin's sexy, deep, and magnetic voice came through, shattering Jian Yixue's fantasy.

"It's getting late, get some rest. Don't try to run away. We've made thorough preparations to bring you here."

Jiang Xuanjin didn't even lift his head; his eyes never left the book as he leisurely flipped through it.

It was as if he hadn't been the one who had just spoken.

When Jian Yixue heard the sound and looked over, this was what she saw.

There's a lump in my throat, I can't get it up or down.

"At least give me back my phone so I can let my family know I'm safe. Why did you bring me here for no reason? What are you trying to do with me?"

Upon hearing Jiang Xuanjin's words, Jian Yixue knew that the outside was heavily guarded. She felt extremely agitated and could no longer contain her emotions, so she questioned Jiang Xuanjin.

Jian Yixue was worried that Ye Mohan would be anxious if he couldn't find her, and she was also worried about Ye Mohan's injured body. Her resentment towards Jiang Xuanjin increased even more.

"When you say 'family,' do you mean the man in the villa? Or the family in Country Z who abandoned you in the countryside when you were little?"

Jiang Xuanjin closed the thick book and stared directly at the angry Jian Yixue, as if trying to guess something from the expression on her face.

Jian Yixue was stunned for several seconds before she realized what was happening. After thinking about it, she realized it was normal; since he was able to abduct her near the villa, he must have been keeping a close eye on Ye Mohan.

When I arrived at Ye Mohan's villa that day, Jiang Xuanjin must have already investigated everything about me.

In other words, it's unknown how much information Jiang Xuanjin actually found about her.

At present, she knows nothing about Jiang Xuanjin except for his name.

"Even if you know, why ask?"

Jian Yixue looked at Jiang Xuanjin with cold eyes, refusing to show the slightest weakness.

In an instant, Jian Yixue felt the temperature in the living room drop considerably.

Jiang Xuanjin, who was looking at her, was expressionless, staring intently at her, and remained silent for a long time.

Jian Yixue felt she was not wrong and refused to back down even slightly.

Just then, Jiang Xuanjin's phone rang, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the room.

Jiang Xuanjin looked away, glanced at his phone, frowned, and his eyes showed some displeasure. He then picked up the phone and answered it.

After a long pause, Jiang Xuanjin replied, "Okay, I'll come and handle it," and then hung up the phone.

Jiang Xuanjin looked up at Jian Yixue, who was still angry not far away, and without saying anything, stood up and left the room.

After seeing Jiang Xuanjin leave, Jian Yixue felt much more at ease, as she had been worried about not having a chance to properly observe her surroundings.

After that, Jian Yixue quickly toured the entire villa, except for one room with a fingerprint lock that she did not enter.

She didn't want to go in either. She had seen that fingerprint lock before; it was connected to a mobile phone and would send information to the owner of the fingerprint lock whenever it detected that someone had touched it.
