Su Li took Su Chen for a walk in the garden and instructed him, "Don't say anything carelessly in front of Master Quan. I don't know why he let you stay here, but you can't stay long. I'll send you out tomorrow."

"I know I would have left even if you hadn't said anything." Su Chen understood her sister's current situation and was considerate of her.

"By the way, sis, I have a question for you. Which one do you think is better, Brother Quan or Brother Song?"

"What kind of question is that? What does it have to do with me whether they are good or bad?"

"Oh my sister, stop pretending. They both have feelings for you. It's just a matter of which one you like more."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Su Li came to the lotus pond to admire the flowers, her face aloof, seemingly unconcerned about these matters.

Su Chen shrugged and said, "Even if you don't want to listen, I still want to say a few more words. After getting to know you, I think Brother Quan is more suitable for you. Brother Song actually used deception to keep you at the border, which is really disgusting."

"What do you know, you're just a kid? Don't talk nonsense."

Su Li received a phone call from Quan Ye, asking her to come to the company.

"I have to go now, you can play by yourself here."

"Then go ahead, I have an appointment to meet with Sister Sangsang, you don't need to worry about me."

Su Li: "Your sister Sangsang wants to take you out to play again, right? Don't just focus on playing, remember to do your homework. I saw yesterday that you still had more than half of your homework left unfinished."

"Sister, please, let's go." Su Chen didn't want to listen to her nagging, so he quickly pushed her away.

Su Li took a few steps away, then turned back and pointed at him, saying, "Remember to finish your homework!"

"knew."

After she left, Su Chen quickly took out his phone and made a call.

"Sister Sangsang, you can come pick me up now. I'll be waiting for you, rain or shine!"

Su Li discovered that the driver was not heading towards the Quan Group, but rather towards a secluded section of road.

"Old Li, weren't we supposed to be going to the company?"

"Master Quan said he would bring you here first."

The car was parked outside a warehouse, with bodyguards guarding the entrance.

Su Li walked over, and the bodyguard opened the door.

The room was empty, from which came bursts of agonizing screams.

Su Li shuddered, a chill running down her spine.

The cries of agony were incessant, along with the sound of whips lashing and tearing flesh.

She went inside and saw several men with their hands tied, hanging in mid-air.

The whip lashed their bodies again and again, a gruesome sight.

Blood dripped onto the floor.

She recognized these people as the ones who had kidnapped her and taken her out of the country; now they were all like catfish on a deck, at their mercy.

Zhang Quan walked over and said, "Miss Su, it's a bit bloody here. Why don't you go upstairs? Master Quan is waiting for you there."

The upstairs area was also quite spacious, with only a sofa and a table temporarily placed there.

When Su Li went upstairs, she saw him sitting there making tea by himself, looking quite content.

"You're here." He looked up at her, his slender fingers fiddling with the teapot, a sight to behold.

"Mr. Quan, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

"I'm tired of the luxurious life, so I come here occasionally to enjoy the scenery."

Although this place is abandoned, the scenery outside is quite nice.

Su Li sat down to the side and quietly watched him.

“I suddenly realized this place is also a geomantically auspicious location. Why don’t I buy it and build you a big villa?”

Quan Ye looked carefree, his slightly raised eyebrows revealing his good mood.

"Mr. Quan, please don't joke around. You own many villas, so one more won't make a difference."

“But I want to design and build one for you myself. If I find out you’re trying to escape again, I’ll lock you up here.”

It has that feeling of being in a golden cage.

He raised his hand and casually stroked her chin, his dark eyes filled with amusement, but his tone was serious.

Su Li avoided his forceful gaze and pushed his hand away, saying, "I am a person, not your pet."
