On the way, he called Li Jingchen.

A deep, slightly weary voice rang out, "Have you found Cheng Yi?"

"Jing, can you get in touch with Song Nuan?"

The air was still for a few seconds.

Li Jingchen knew Ouyang Zhoujing well; he wouldn't inquire about someone without reason. Besides, this wasn't an interrogation, but rather a sense of urgency stemming from uncertainty.

He didn't answer, but picked up another phone and called Song Nuan.

The call was not connected.

His silence almost told Ouyang Zhoujing the answer.

It's not hard to guess that Ouyang Chengyi had already calmed down by removing him from her blacklist. But An Sze clearly said he would come to see her again that night, so who was she going to vent her anger on?

Moreover, Li Jingchen still couldn't contact Song Nuan.

Ouyang Zhoujing remained relatively calm. "I'm on my way to the Global Center right now. Cheng Yi's last seat is there."

"Global Center?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingchen could no longer sit still. Song Nuan had gone to the Global Center shopping mall today to buy things for going abroad, and he never believed in coincidences.

Where exactly is Cheng Yi located?

"A karaoke bar."

He hummed in agreement, hung up the phone, and while walking out, dialed Qin Shi Song Nuan's office.

The person who answered the phone was Fang Yu.

Hello, who is this?

"It's me." He opened the car door, bent down, and got in. "Did Song Nuan go to the company today?"

Fang Yu shook her head. "No, she applied for a month's leave and won't be coming over anymore. But aren't you two going abroad together the day after tomorrow?"

She's already booked the plane tickets.

"What happened?" Fang Yu asked warily.

"nothing."

Li Jingchen called Xu Yiran again and received the same answer: Song Nuan hadn't returned since leaving home that morning.

Xu Yiran also complained that she hadn't replied to her messages for half a day.

It's understandable that she didn't go home for half a day, but if Song Nuan had just gone shopping, it's impossible that she didn't reply to Xu Yiran's messages for several hours in a row.

Accelerate.

Five minutes later, Ouyang Zhoujing arrived at the KTV first. He handed over his business card and said, "Call your manager out."

Upon seeing that the visitor was the group's CEO, the receptionist immediately called the manager over.

The receptionist didn't recognize him, but the manager had heard of him. Upon seeing Ouyang Zhoujing, the manager was both surprised and nervous.

"Show me the surveillance footage," Ouyang Zhoujing said bluntly, his tone icy. "My sister went missing after she came to your KTV."

The manager was so frightened that his teeth chattered. "How...how is this possible? Quick, check the surveillance footage right now!"

The front hall instantly erupted into chaos.

Monitoring is a complex undertaking and seems to be a large project.

At this moment, the receptionist said timidly, "Is your sister wearing a black sweater? And sunglasses too...?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhoujing frowned and showed her a photo of Ouyang Chengyi. "Is it her?"

"It's her, there are three of them in total."

"Three people?" Ouyang Zhoujing's heart skipped a beat. He had questioned all of Ouyang Chengyi's friends, and he hadn't seen her for a while.

Could Song Nuan be one of those three people?

The receptionist nodded. "Yes, they just left not long ago, but there were only two of them when they left; the prettiest one didn't come out."

The reason she remembers it so clearly is because of Song Nuan.

She's so beautiful.

Even without makeup, she is stunningly beautiful. It's hard not to have these seasoned staff members, who have seen their share of filth and sordid things, thinking about such an otherworldly beauty appearing in a KTV.

"Room number?"

"301".

Ouyang Zhoujing walked towards the elevator with a dark face, silently praying that Ouyang Chengyi wouldn't cause him any trouble, while sending the room number to Li Jingchen.

Li Jingchen arrived a step later than him.

But when he received the message, he was already inside the store. Seeing the elevator going up, he turned around and ran into the fire escape.

The two met on the third floor.

They looked at each other in silence. When Li Jingchen pushed open the door to room 301 and saw the scene inside, his heart almost stopped.

The room was dimly lit, with only a few spotlights casting faint light, revealing a huge bucket in the center of the room, its surface shimmering, and a head the size of a palm hanging from its rim.

Ouyang Zhoujing was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

That woman was clearly Song Nuan.

“Ah Jing…”

"Have you managed to contact Cheng Yi?" His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

Ouyang Zhoujing did not answer.

Because Li Jingchen had already disappeared from his side and walked in almost eagerly, he hurriedly followed.

Upon approaching, the scene before them caused their pupils to dizzy with shock.

A bucket overflowing with water, and a naked woman's body...

It just barged into their line of sight without any warning.

Ouyang Zhoujing paused for a few seconds, then turned around, his back to Song Nuan, and said, "I didn't see anything."

Li Jingchen's jaw tightened. He took off his coat, bent down, and lifted Song Nuan out, holding her tightly in his arms. She was shivering with cold, a terrifying cold.

"Clothes," he said in a hoarse voice.

Ouyang Zhoujing took off his coat and threw it to him.

After untying the thick rope and drying Song Nuan's body with his clothes, Li Jingchen dressed her in his own clothes.

The woman trembled slightly in his arms.

Li Jingchen called softly, "Nuan Nuan?"

"cold……"

He tightened his arms around her, holding her tightly, his voice hoarse, "You'll warm up soon."

Song Nuan heard Lu Ziyang's voice.

He was so close, right next to her ear. She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't control them and therefore couldn't respond to him.

"Jing, let's get him to the hospital first. He'll be in serious trouble if he stays hypothermic for too long."

That voice sounds so familiar...

Immediately afterwards, Song Nuan felt herself being lifted up, and a feeling of being suspended in the air washed over her.

“Zhou Jing, Cheng Yi has really gone too far this time.” His dark eyes were deep and cold. “Make her come to me today, don’t wait for me to send someone to find her.”

Ouyang Zhoujing pursed his lips. "If it really was Cheng Yi who did it, I will make her apologize until Miss Song forgives her."

Zhou Jing?

Is it Ouyang Zhoujing?

That voice did sound a bit like Ouyang Zhoujing's, but why did he call Lu Ziyang "A Jing"?

As Song Nuan was drowsy, a voice suddenly came from deep within her, both indistinct and firm, urging her to open her eyes and see who was in front of her.

She forced her hands open a crack.

What came into view was the man's sharp and handsome lower half of his face, cold and mysterious.

It's definitely Lu Ziyang.

Suddenly a voice rang out: "Ah Jing, she's awake."

Li Jingchen was taken aback and looked down at her, but the woman happened to turn her head and saw another familiar handsome face.

She instantly understood.

It turns out that the photo Ouyang Zhoujing showed her last time was of Lu Ziyang.

It turns out that Lu Ziyang is actually Li Jingchen.

He had been lying to her for so long.

The president of the Li Group, one of the four major families, actually served as her bed warmer for three years without any official title or status, helping her seize the company and fight against the family.

What's even more ridiculous is that he actually conspired with An Sze to deceive her; it's truly ironic.

After letting out a weak chuckle, Song Nuan completely lost consciousness.

"Warm and cozy!"

"Quickly, call an ambulance!"
