Ning Nanxue suddenly raised her head, her eyes sharp, "What? The account is frozen? What's going on?"

"I don't know. The bank said they received a report that our company was suspected of illegal money laundering, and the account has been frozen by the police." The secretary looked pale and spoke in a panic.

Ning Nanxue's face darkened instantly. She immediately picked up her phone and called her lawyer.

Huayun Group, top floor office.

Jiang Tingchen looked at the news on the computer screen with a terribly gloomy expression.

"Fu Chen, you really can't wait." Jiang Tingchen sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

He picked up his coat and walked quickly out of the office.

In the hospital's VIP ward, Xu Zhiru, who had originally calmed down, suddenly lost control of her emotions and began to struggle violently.

"No! Don't come over! Go away! Go away!" Xu Zhiru screamed, her body shaking constantly, her eyes full of fear.

She suddenly pulled out the needle from the back of her hand, and blood gushed out instantly, staining the sheets red.

She picked up the fruit knife on the table and slashed her wrist hard.

Blood gushed out again, staining her white hospital gown red.

Fu Chen heard the screams in the ward and rushed in immediately. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned.

"Zhiru! What are you doing?!" Fu Chen roared, rushed forward, snatched the fruit knife from Xu Zhiru's hand, hugged her tightly, his tone full of shock and heartache.

"Zhi Ru, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here, it's okay, it's okay..." Fu Chen comforted her over and over again, his voice trembling.

Xu Zhiru was in his arms, her body still shaking, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

"A Chen, I'm so scared. They... they are here again. They want to take me away..." Xu Zhiru spoke incoherently in a very bad mental state.

Fu Chen hugged her tightly, feeling extremely heartbroken, and his hatred for Ning Nanxue reached its peak again.

Downstairs of Ning Nanxue's apartment, several black cars roared in and stopped at the door of the apartment.

The car door opened and Fu Chen got out angrily, followed by a group of bodyguards in black.

"Ning Nanxue! Get out here!" Fu Chen yelled at the apartment building, his voice filled with anger and murderous intent.

The apartment door was kicked open roughly, and Fu Chen rushed into the apartment with his bodyguards in a menacing manner.

Inside the apartment, Ning Nanxue was sitting on the sofa, looking calmly at Fu Chen who had broken in, her eyes cold and indifferent.

"Mr. Fu, what are you doing? Breaking into a private house?" Ning Nanxue spoke coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"Stop pretending to be nice to me!" Fu Chen roared, "Ning Nanxue, I'm telling you, I'm here to investigate today! I want to find evidence that you kidnapped Zhiru!"

"Evidence?" Ning Nanxue sneered, "Boss Fu, what evidence do you have to prove that Xu Zhiru was kidnapped by me?"

"Evidence? Zhiru was kidnapped by you and tortured. This is the evidence!" Fu Chen said angrily, pointing at Ning Nanxue's nose.

"Mr. Fu, you keep saying that I kidnapped Xu Zhiru. May I ask, do you have any evidence? Or are you concluding that it was me based solely on Xu Zhiru's one-sided statement?" Ning Nanxue asked back with cold eyes, without giving in.

"You..." Fu Chen was speechless for a moment, his face flushed and he was burning with anger.

Just then, the apartment door was opened again, and Manager Song walked in with a few people.

"Mr. Fu, with such a big scene, someone who doesn't know would think you are going to confiscate our property." Manager Song said in a relaxed tone, but there was a hint of warning in his eyes.

"Manager Song, you have nothing to do here, get out!" Fu Chen glared at Manager Song with a bad tone.

"Mr. Fu, this is Ning Nanxue's apartment, and it's also my friend's home. You said it's none of my business. Am I meddling too much?" Manager Song retorted in a firm tone without showing any weakness.

"You..." Fu Chen was shaking with anger. He pointed at Ning Nanxue and Manager Song and shouted angrily, "Okay, very good! Just wait for me!"

After saying that, Fu Chen angrily left the apartment with his men.

Abandoned factory, dark room.

Ning Nanxue, Jiang Tingchen, Manager Song, and Secretary Chen came here again.

Secretary Chen pointed to an iron box in the corner of the darkroom and said, "Boss Ning, this is what my people found in the factory darkroom. Open it and take a look."

Ning Nanxue walked forward and opened the iron box, which contained several medical restraints.

The restraints were brand new, but they had a serial number printed on them.

Ning Nanxue picked up a restraint belt, looked at the number on it carefully, and her eyes moved slightly.

"Is this... a medical restraint belt used exclusively in hospitals?" Ning Nanxue asked in confusion.

"That's right. Moreover, this number should be the item number within the hospital." Secretary Chen said affirmatively.

"Hospital? Xu Zhiru?" A thought suddenly flashed through Ning Nanxue's mind.

"Could it be..." Manager Song seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes became surprised.

Just then, Secretary Chen's cell phone rang. He picked up the phone, listened to a few words, and his expression suddenly became strange.

At midnight, the online world was in an uproar.

Xu Zhiru's live broadcast room suddenly opened without any warning, but countless viewers flocked in instantly.

Xu Zhiru on the screen looked haggard, with red and swollen eyes and thick bandages wrapped around her arms, making her look even more pitiful.

She faced the camera, her voice choked with sobs, and began to describe her experience of being "kidnapped" over the past few days.

"I don't know who did this to me. I'm just a powerless woman."

Xu Zhiru cried,

"They locked me up in a cold, dark factory, didn't give me food or water, and even whipped me..."

She lifted her sleeves, revealing her arms wrapped in gauze.

"Look, this is the scar they left. It still hurts a lot."

The live broadcast room barrage exploded instantly,

"Oh my God, that's horrible!"

"Goddess Ruru has suffered!"

"The kidnappers must be brought to justice!"

Xu Zhiru continued to cry,

"These past few days, I've been living in fear every day. I thought I was going to die and would never see my family or the people who love me again..."

She raised her head and looked out of the camera with tearful eyes, as if she was talking to Fu Chen.

"I don't know what I did wrong to suffer such torture. I just want to live a good life. Why is it so difficult..."

Gifts flew like snowflakes in the live broadcast room, and comments of sympathy and comfort were overwhelming.

At the same time, the atmosphere in Ning Nanxue's apartment was extremely solemn.

Manager Song pointed at the computer screen, which was playing the surveillance video of the abandoned factory.

"Ning Nanxue, look here. Xu Zhiru entered the factory at 8:00 PM, and the surveillance footage was suddenly interrupted at 8:05 PM." Manager Song zoomed in on the image. "But, if you look at the surveillance footage inside the factory, Xu Zhiru was already in the darkroom at 8:30 PM."
