A sense of shame is spreading.

Saliva on your face feels sticky and uncomfortable.

I feel so nauseous I want to vomit.

Song Nuan lowered her eyes expressionlessly, remaining silent even when Zhong Qingya shoved her phone in her face to take pictures. Her lifeless reaction quickly bored Zhong Qingya.

"Load the cargo!"

After a curse, Zhong Qingya got up and left.

The room was even darker. Song Nuan straightened up, hopped to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and haphazardly washed her face. Although she wasn't completely clean, she felt a little better.

Back at the door, she tried turning the doorknob, and as expected—

It's locked.

The phone in the bag had already been taken by Zhong Guan.

With a sigh, Song Nuan found a warm spot to sit down and stared blankly out the window, waiting for rescue.

...

"What did you say?"

Fang Yu's expression changed instantly. She stood up abruptly, but the movement was too sudden, and her knee hit the table leg with a dull thud. The pain was excruciating, but she had no time to pay attention to it. All her attention was focused on what Xu Yiran was saying.

Xu Yiran on the other end of the phone was also very anxious.

"Song Nuan has disappeared. She won't answer her phone. The coffee shop employee said she left with a man. I checked the security footage, and that man is Zhong Guan."

She finished speaking in one breath, not daring to pause.

"Just Zhong Guan alone?"

"No, he brought two bodyguards."

Fang Yu remained silent.

She remained silent, which made Xu Yiran even more flustered. Her voice was weak as she asked, "I should be alright... There's no way to call the police now. Should I go find Li Jingchen?"

"Don't go." Fang Yu rejected the idea, her voice low. "Don't panic, I'll handle this. First, try to check the mall's surveillance footage to see where Song Nuan was taken."

"good."

If it's still in the vicinity, it's easy to find.

But if...

Fang Yu didn't dare waste time on wild thoughts and quickly ended the meeting back in the conference room.

Su Yin called out to her, "President Fang, how are you going to get to the dinner party tonight?"

Fang Yu stopped moving.

How could she have forgotten about tonight?

After a moment's thought, Fang Yu looked at the project team leader and said, "You and Su Yin will go to dinner tonight. Pay attention to the prices. Don't just chase the lowest price. Make sure there are no quality control issues."

Su Yin was pleasantly surprised.

"Just the two of us?"

Fang Yu nodded, "The project will be handled by the two of you, and the commission will be split between you two."

Su Yin was overjoyed and grinned, "Don't worry, I will definitely sign this project."

Fang Yu frowned upon hearing this.

So all she said was for nothing?

The business partner we're meeting tonight was originally a long-time client of the Qin family, one of the companies that Zhong Qingya bribed to set a trap for the Song family.

Although Zhong Guan promised to resolve the issue, it remains unclear whether the issue has actually been resolved, and whether their stance is to side with the Zhong family or to cooperate properly with the Song family.

Fang Yu was vaguely worried.

I don't know why, but I always feel that Su Yin will cause some trouble.

She wanted to say a few words of advice when her phone suddenly rang.

It was Xu Yiran calling.

Fang Yu ignored Su Yin and walked out while answering the phone. Xu Yiran's voice rang in her ears, "The mall only showed the parking garage surveillance footage. Song Nuan got into Zhong Guan's car, and the car drove out of the underground garage. We don't know where it went."

"If you want to check a vehicle, you can only go to the traffic police brigade to check the surveillance footage."

Xu Yiran choked up a little.

She was incredibly annoyed. "It all comes down to Li Jingchen. Fang Yu, let's just go find him. His wedding with Zhong Qingya is in three days, and Zhong Guan took Song Nuan away and disappeared. I'm really scared..."

Fang Yu gripped the steering wheel tightly.

She appeared calm on the surface, but that was only on the surface; her inner panic and helplessness were no less than Xu Yiran's.

Only one person can panic.

Forcing herself to calm down, Fang Yu thought of a solution while explaining to her, "If Zhong Guan really is after Song Nuan because of the wedding, then you shouldn't ask Li Jingchen for help."

"His goal is simply to make Li Jingchen obediently attend the wedding and become their Zhong family's son-in-law."

"Going to him rashly is like jumping on Zhong Guan's minefield. We don't know if Li Jingchen can rescue Song Nuan, but Song Nuan will definitely not have a good time."

Xu Yiran pulled at her hair in frustration.

This won't work, that won't work, and they don't have enough authority to seek help from the relevant departments.

"Are we supposed to wait until the time is up before calling the police?"

A handsome and gentle face suddenly flashed through Fang Yu's mind.

"I have a way."

"What?"

The engine started, and the Mercedes drove toward the building in another direction.

Shortly after, Fang Yu walked into the minimalist and sophisticated building and said directly to the receptionist, "I'm looking for your General Manager Ouyang."

Before the receptionist could speak, a warm voice came from behind Fang Yu, "You're Song Nuan's assistant, Fang Yu, am I right?"

Fang Yu turned around.

Speak of the devil and he appears.

"It's me."

Ouyang Zhoujing nodded slightly and asked calmly, "Is there something you need, Song Nuan?"

Fang Yu was momentarily surprised. She nodded and was about to answer when Ouyang Zhoujing continued, "Come to my office."

She had no choice but to swallow her words and followed them to the president's office.

As soon as she entered, Fang Yu couldn't wait to get to the bottom of things, "Song Nuan was taken away by Zhong Guan, and we can't contact her. We're afraid something might have happened to her, so we had no choice but to come to you for help."

Ouyang Zhoujing's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this.

A faint smile played on his lips. Even at such a crucial moment, he maintained a calm and gentle demeanor, showing no signs of nervousness.

"Logically, you should seek help from the Li family."

“Logically speaking, President Li and Song Nuan have no relationship.” Fang Yu retorted, mimicking his tone.

Ouyang Zhoujing smiled and said, "I have nothing to do with Song Nuan either."

Fang Yu was taken aback by what he said.

What does he mean by this? Doesn't Ouyang Zhoujing like Song Nuan? Could it be that Xu Yiran has been wrong all along?

Ouyang Zhoujing easily saw through her thoughts.

"Xiao Jiang, see the guest out."

"..."

Fang Yu was still somewhat dazed when she stood at the entrance of the Ouyang Group and felt gusts of cold wind blowing into her body.

Xu Yiran called again.

"How was it?" she asked impatiently, and before Fang Yu could answer, she said to herself, "I know the bar that Zhong Qingya frequents. I went there to try my luck, and sure enough, I ran into her."

“She admitted that Song Nuan was in her hands, and she was extremely arrogant, saying that she would torture Song Nuan in the same way that Li Jingchen tortured her.”

"Damn it, I'm so angry! Li Jingchen is such a troublemaker!"

Fang Yu looked up at the tall buildings behind her.

The office lights on the top floor were still on; if she wasn't mistaken, that was Ouyang Zhoujing's office, where she had been just a minute ago.

"What did Ouyang Zhoujing say about Li Jingchen, that unreliable bastard?"

"He likes Nuannuan, he will definitely find a way. I was so careless. I shouldn't have left her alone in the coffee shop this afternoon."

All I could hear was Xu Yiran's incessant chatter.

When she's angry, she's illogical and just talks about whatever comes to mind, cursing whoever comes to mind.

Fang Yu really wants to join her in giving Ouyang Zhoujing a piece of her mind.
