The three people in the room were stunned when they heard Wen Zhi's voice. Before Sang Yu and Assistant Wen could react, Si Mingchen had already run to the door and pushed it open.
At this moment, Wen Zhi was wearing a little yellow duck raincoat, and his hair and body were wet. He put his hands in his raincoat, carrying an exquisite blue box, and the suitcase behind him stood there quietly.
Wen Zhi smiled and took the love cookies out of the bag: "I've sent you a takeaway. Please sign for it, Mr. Si."
Si Mingchen did not move for a long time, his eyes were dull and red bloodshot filled his entire eye sockets.
Wen Zhi's smile slowly disappeared. Holding the heart-shaped cookie, she raised her head tentatively and asked, "Si Mingchen, are you unhappy? Or are you feeling uncomfortable?"
A hot tear rolled down Wen Zhi's wrist.
Si Mingchen suddenly stepped forward and hugged Wen Zhi in his arms, wrapping his arms tightly around his waist, as if he was afraid that he would disappear, with a feeling of uneasiness as if he had lost and regained him.
His voice was extremely hoarse, and he spoke a few words with great difficulty after a long time: "Fortunately you are okay, fortunately you are okay..."
Wen Zhi didn't know what was going on. Even though he was almost unable to breathe in Si Mingchen's embrace, he still patiently stroked Si Mingchen's back with his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm here."
Si Mingchen still didn't let him go and buried his face deeply in Wen Zhi's neck, trying to prove that the person in front of him was not a dream.
...
...
With unprecedented fear, absorbing the warmth of childishness.
Wen Zhi was very nervous, but continued to comfort him: "Sisi, don't be sad."
After saying that, he stood on tiptoe, looked over Si Mingchen's shoulder at Sang Yu and Assistant Wen, and his eyes rolled around.
Sang Yu said: "Sang Qi and Jeff called just now and said they kidnapped you."
Wen Zhi was shocked: "Kidnapped me? I took the earliest flight here, everything went smoothly, and no one blocked me on the road."
Si Mingchen let go of Wen Zhi, but still held her hand: "How come no one knew you were here? There was no news on my phone when I located you. I was very worried and thought you were really kidnapped."
Wen Zhi suddenly blushed and said weakly, "Because I wanted to give you a surprise, after the bodyguard and assistant sent me to the airport, I asked them not to tell you for the time being."
Sang Yu was so angry that he laughed: "Your surprise is quite surprising."
Wen Zhi knew he had made a mistake, so he lowered his head and hid behind Si Mingchen: "I was wrong, I will tell you in advance next time."
"I don't blame you." Si Mingchen held him in his arms and said in a hoarse voice, "You are right to want to give me a surprise. The one who is wrong is the one with bad intentions."
Wen Zhi buried his head in Si Mingchen's arms and rubbed it hard.
When Sang Yu saw this scene, although he wanted to leave immediately to make room for them, he said due to the critical situation: "Excuse me, the time is tight, and they are still waiting for Ming Chen to take action."
Si Mingchen looked at Wen Zhi and told him the whole story.
After hearing this, Wen Zhi frowned and said, "I originally thought that Sang Qi was just vicious, but I didn't expect that he was so outrageous that he pretended to kidnap me and used despicable means to force you to give up your interests."
Siming thought for a while and said, "I don't think they necessarily want to pretend to kidnap you."
Wen Zhi's eyes widened immediately. Si Mingchen continued, "They just didn't succeed, or there was an information gap with the country."
Sang Yu then asked: "Wen Zhi, when did you buy your ticket to go abroad? How many days in advance did you make the decision?"
Wen Zhi replied: "I had this plan two weeks in advance, but I didn't tell anyone. I decided to come here yesterday."
Si Mingchen followed this line of thought and speculated: "It is very likely that they did not expect you to go abroad suddenly, but they had already calculated the time when I was called to the police station, so they had no choice but to go on with this drama."
Wen Zhi nodded: "Yes."
"There is another possibility." Sang Yu put one hand in his pocket, looking thoughtful: "They wanted to kidnap you, but your temporary departure abroad made it difficult for them to find you for a while, so they launched another plan."
Wen Zhi carefully recalled what was different before he went abroad. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized: "If they wanted to kidnap me, they would definitely observe my daily schedule."
"Well, go on." Si Mingchen said.
"The only difference between my departure and usual trips was that they drove me to the airport in a business car. Because I hate the smell of gasoline in business cars, I always took the Maybach you bought for me to go back and forth to the crew every day. But that day, because I had a lot of luggage, I took the business car."
"So..." Si Mingchen said urgently, "Hurry up and contact Wen Zhi's driver to see if he is in danger."
Wen Zhi immediately became anxious: "They might attack the Maybach, because there is only a new driver in that car!"
Wen Zhi felt more and more guilty and hurriedly
I took out my cell phone and wanted to call my assistant, but Assistant Wen had already answered the call.
On the phone, Aning's voice was trembling, with a strong sense of fear and uneasiness: "Are you Mr. Si's assistant? I'm at the police station."
Wen Zhi immediately asked anxiously: "Are you injured?"
Aning could tell Wen Zhi was there too, and said with a guilty tone, "I'm not injured, but I have something to tell you. Last night, I was driving home, and there were only desolate mountains and wilderness around me. I had to pee urgently and got out of the car to take care of it. But when I got back to the original place, the Maybach had disappeared. I kept looking for it all around until now, and just now I found it in the river."
Aning's voice was a little tearful: "I will slowly pay you back the money for the Maybach, but I can't pay that much back right now. Can I deduct the rest from my salary?"
Wen Zhi sighed: "I'm glad you're okay. You don't have to pay for the car. Go home quickly."
Si Mingchen listened to the conversation between the two and reminded Aning: "During this period of time, you should go home and rest. Don't let anyone find you, and don't report it yet. If someone asks you, just say that Wen Zhi was in the car that fell into the river."
Aning was extremely grateful: "Okay!"
After everything was settled, Si Mingchen said to Special Assistant Wen: "Let everyone go to the company immediately. I need to have a meeting."
Assistant Wente nodded: "Got it."
Sang Yu then said: "So, Sang Qi and the others think that Wen Zhi fell into the river and his whereabouts are unknown?"
Si Mingchen: "It is very likely."
"That's why they dare to intimidate us so unscrupulously, and they are sure that we can't find Wen Zhi." Sang Yu said.
Si Mingchen: "There is no time to lose. We don't have much time left."
As soon as Wen Zhi arrived here, Si Mingchen planned to go to the company to work overtime, so he naturally wanted to follow.
However, Si Mingchen rejected his request considering the need to keep Wen Zhi's current whereabouts secret.
"There's someone guarding the door, just wait for me. I'll take care of everything as soon as possible and go home to be with you."
Looking at Si Mingchen's tired look, Wen Zhi felt distressed and even felt that Si Mingchen had lost a lot of weight in just one month.
He said slowly: "Anyway, I didn't get enough sleep on the plane, so I'll go rest first. When I open my eyes, you'll be back."
"So good." Si Mingchen kissed his forehead and turned around with a hurried look.
"Si Mingchen——" Wen Zhi called him and trotted over to give him the love cookies: "Take it. Eat it when you are hungry on the way or in a meeting."
Si Mingchen looked at the transparent love-shaped glass jar in his hand and asked gently, "Did you make this?"
Wen Zhi smiled in surprise: "How did you know?"
Si Mingchen did not give a direct answer, but continued to ask: "Since you decided to come here at the last minute, do you still have time to bake cookies?"
Wen Zhi reluctantly said, "It was made a week in advance, but it's still very fresh. I ate two pieces on the way."
Si Mingchen scratched his nose and said, "Let's go. Wait for me to come back."
Because of the presence of Sang Yu and Special Assistant Wen, Wen Zhi did not feel comfortable being intimate with Si Mingchen. She waved goodbye to Si Mingchen, suppressing her longing for him.
After a few people left, Wen Zhi was the only one left in the room. He sat on the sofa, opened his mobile phone aimlessly and browsed WeChat messages.
This time he came to Europe and took a six-day vacation. After returning to the Forbidden Spring Court crew, he will continue shooting for a week until the filming is completed.
Si Mingchen's current situation is somewhat tricky. He will be restricted from leaving the country until his grievances are cleared.
Wen Zhi searched for some business war novels about domineering CEOs, hoping to find some inspiration from them, but the content was too melodramatic and unrefined, so it probably wouldn't be of much help.
He was actually a little scared. What if Si Mingchen was always restricted from leaving the country? But he immediately comforted himself that Si Mingchen was so smart that he would definitely turn danger into safety.
Throwing away his phone, Wen Zhi began to look around the apartment where Si Mingchen was staying. This apartment is a duplex. It's not too big, but it's big enough for one person.
The vases on the table and the murals hanging in the corridor are more in line with Si Mingchen's aesthetic, simple and clean, without so many fancy decorations.
Wen Zhi gently pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.
Although they are partners, this is his first time visiting Simingchen's home in Europe, and he feels a sense of taboo and mystery as if he is prying into a secret.
**The supplies were almost all gray and white, with only one pillow on top and Si Mingchen's pajamas folded beside the bed.
Wen Zhi tiptoed over, took off his coat, and his eyes paused on her pajamas for a moment.
After a while, he had changed into Si Mingchen's pajamas and got into bed.
In an instant, the surroundings were filled with the familiar scent of mint. Wen Zhi took off his socks and rolled around in them.
After struggling for a long time, he took out the three melons from the suitcase and placed them one by one on the bedside.
But for Wen Zhi, these are far from enough.
He was diligent for once and put the things in the suitcase
The clothes were hung neatly in Si Mingchen's closet.
This bedroom seemed to be instantly filled with his things.
Wen Zhi nodded with satisfaction, put on an eye mask and went to sleep, snoring softly.
At this moment, Si Mingchen has already arrived at the company.
Sang Yu followed him and teased him, "Give me a piece of your cookie."
Si Mingchen said nothing and refused with silence.
The confidants have gathered, and they are almost all of Si Sheng’s best soldiers and generals in the country.
Si Mingchen briefly informed everyone of what had happened and planned to use this opportunity to catch Jeff and Sang Qi in one fell swoop.
Everyone had a relatively unified view. They pretended to agree to give up all European markets and hand over Si Sheng's European branch to Jeff. After Jeff relaxed his vigilance, they seized the opportunity to acquire Jeff's company.
Sang Yu, who was not from Si Sheng, laughed and said, "You are quite ambitious."
Vice President Si Sheng was determined to win: "If we are going to do it, we have to do it big. They will send a spy here, but we can do it too."
Si Mingchen nodded: "Then proceed as planned. I will video call him in an hour."
Assistant Wen sent someone to prepare all the equipment: "OK."
Si Sheng's European branch had long been invaded by forces outside the company and could no longer be trusted. Therefore, the place where Si Mingchen and his team held meetings had always been the secret meeting room on the basement floor of the branch.
An hour later, Si Mingchen and Jeff started their second call. At this time, Jeff and Sang Qi were together, and they both appeared in the picture at the same time. Jeff looked at the conference room behind Simingchen, not afraid at all: "Do you want to know why I dare to talk to him about this matter so openly?"
Si Mingchen's eyes were deliberately anxious: "Why?"
Jeff said, "If you dare to call the police, I will arrange for someone over there to kill you."
Si Mingchen: "I won't. What I want is to complete the transaction as soon as possible."
Jeff raised his eyebrows: "That's exactly what I was thinking."
At that time, Sang Qi's expression was not very good, and he felt a little guilty. Because he heard that Wen Zhi was knocked unconscious by Jeff's men for resisting pursuit, and his head was bleeding profusely. He was now being treated by a private doctor.
Si Mingchen stared at Sang Qi, his tone impatient: "Send me the acquisition agreement. All domestic automobile manufacturers and technology laboratories have announced the suspension of production. If you don't believe it, you can check the official website. After the agreement is signed, I hope you can let Wen Zhi go immediately."
Looking at the company that was within his reach, Jeff felt that Si Mingchen agreed too readily, which was a little abnormal.
Jeff asked, "Is it worth it for such a person?"
Simingchen: "If you don't think it's worth it, why bother arresting him?"
Jeff laughed out loud: "Thanks to Sang Qi, I know that you two have a good relationship."
Si Mingchen looked at Sang Qi: "Really?"
Sang Qi looked panicked and averted his gaze.
Si Mingchen then said slowly: "I can sign the agreement. The application for delisting in Europe has been submitted and is being liquidated. The domestic market share can also be given to you, but Si Sheng also needs to develop in the future. You can't leave us no way out."
Jeff narrowed his eyes and said, "For the domestic market, you only need to transfer the two production lines to me. I don't want anything else."
Si Mingchen frowned: "I am the only one who knows Si Sheng's finances. There is no problem in transferring the two production lines directly to you, but in fact it hides many problems and involves many important documents. If I don't hand it over carefully, I will be in trouble in the future."
Jeff: “How do you hand it over?”
Si Mingchen: "Your and my teams will conduct asset liquidation and ensure the process is legal and compliant. This process will take about three days."
Jeff hesitated and looked at Sang Qi: "What do you think?"
Sang Qi was uneasy: "It's better to end it as soon as possible to avoid more trouble."
Jeff agreed with Sang Qi's point of view and immediately slammed the table: "Si Mingchen, you are not qualified to negotiate with me. I want those two production lines now!"
Si Mingchen looked at him for a minute.
The two of them exchanged cold glances.
"I can give it to you directly, but I need to talk to Wen Zhi right now to ensure his safety."
Jeff signaled to his men, and a video of Wen Zhi lying in bed, calling out Si Mingchen's name, immediately appeared on the screen.
Si Mingchen's eyes were cold: "Don't you understand? I want to talk to Wen Zhi now."
The scene switches to Jeff: "He's been making a fuss. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything for a day. He has no energy."
Si Mingchen still said firmly: "I need to talk to him, you move the screen towards him."
Jeff was feeling guilty at the moment. His men at home were reckless and when they were chasing Wen Zhi, Wen Zhi's car crashed into the arch bridge by the river, causing the car to fall directly down.
According to reports from his subordinates, Wen Zhi is still being rescued.
"Si Mingchen, don't get too aggressive!"
Jeff holding the remote
Qi: "You'll have three seconds to think about it. If you don't agree, I'll throw Wen Zhi into the river to feed the fish."
Si Mingchen's expression was calm this time: "Let me talk to Wen Zhi, or the two teams meet, you choose one. Otherwise, I will not continue to negotiate with you."
After saying this, Assistant Wen turned off the video.
Si Mingchen quickly gave an order: "Hurry up and track down their IP addresses and hack into their computers."
In the back, five of the world’s top hackers gathered here: “Okay.”
Si Mingchen did this just to delay time. The more time he had, the more he could take advantage of Jeff's distractions to find out what he wanted.
Vice President Si Sheng hesitated while holding the pen, "Will he wonder why you are so strong all of a sudden?"
Simingchen: “Yes.”
Vice President: “Will he be suspicious?”
Si Mingchen said calmly, "No. Based on how cold-blooded he and Sang Qi are, they would think I was just cornered."
Sang Yu interrupted: "What's the next step?"
Si Mingchen: "Wait for him to call me."
In the conference room, more than forty people were waiting patiently, unaware that Jeff and Sang Qi's situation was in complete chaos.
Jeff's face was tense as he questioned Sang Qi: "Didn't you say that they had a good relationship? Why didn't Simingchen care about Wen Zhi's safety this time?"
Sang Qi was also confused. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I'm not sure either. Maybe there really is something wrong with those two production lines, so he had to make a proper handover."
Jeff's expression was gloomy: "So what should we do now?"
Sang Qi: "Promise Simingchen."
Jeff thought about it and finally cursed: "Shit!"
Five minutes later, Si Mingchen received a video call invitation from Jeff. The hackers have successfully located Jeff and quickly responded: "He is not connecting to us from his company's computer. We cannot hack into him for the time being."
Simingchen nodded: "I understand."
He deliberately waited for a long time before answering Jeff's video call, "What's the matter?"
Jeff was a little annoyed: "What's the problem with your two production lines? Why don't you just hand over the two manufacturing plants to me?"
Si Mingchen pretended to hang up the phone: "You don't let me talk to Wen Zhi, and you don't agree to standardize the acquisition. There is no need for us to talk anymore. I am not willing to give up my freedom for the rest of my life in exchange for the suffering of imprisonment."
Sang Yu listened to Si Mingchen's serious nonsense and secretly teased Assistant Wen: "After being with Wen Zhi for a long time, even your acting skills have improved?"
Assistant Wen laughed softly, "Yeah."
Jeff couldn't sit still this time: "We are giving Wen Zhi a nutrient solution to ensure his safety. I will arrange a meeting for you when he wakes up tomorrow. As for the meeting and handover you mentioned, have your team come to my place at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. But you can't come."
Simingchen said: "No problem."
This time, it was Si Mingchen who hung up the phone first.
Jeff was very angry at Simingchen's attitude: "Who is he showing off to here?"
Sang Qi felt something was wrong, because in his opinion, Si Mingchen could not just ignore Wen Zhi.
At this time, Jeff taunted Sang Qi: "You are not still thinking about Wen Zhi, are you? My men said that his injuries are very serious and he may not survive for a few days, so we have to get this done immediately and neatly."
Sang Qi looked at him calmly: "If you insist on causing a death, will it be good for you?"
Jeff sneered: "I didn't cause the loss of life. Since I dared to do this, do you think I didn't arrange a scapegoat in advance?"
Sang Qi frowned and said nothing more.
After the session, Si Mingchen closed his sore eyes. It was the only slightly relaxing moment in these days.
His team is ready to go, and everyone knows exactly how to negotiate and communicate with Jeff tomorrow.
Sang Yu patted Simingchen on the shoulder and said, "Go back. Your little baby is waiting impatiently."
Si Mingchen raised his sore wrist, put on his coat, and drove away himself.
Assistant Wen was originally worried about Si Mingchen's safety and wanted to arrange for a bodyguard to drive, but was rejected by Si Mingchen.
Jeff needed him now and wouldn't let anything happen to him.
However, he did deliberately activate the anti-monitoring and tracking mode in the car to prevent Jeff from sending people to follow him.
Passing by a flower shop, Si Mingchen got off the car. The boss was a kind-looking middle-aged woman in her forties. Si Mingchen said politely, "I want to give my lover a bouquet of flowers. Could you please help me pack the most beautiful one?"
The boss smiled and said, "I'm very happy to do that."
Before leaving with the flowers, Si Mingchen asked the boss for a paper bag and put the flowers for Wen Zhi in it.
When I got home, the air conditioning in the house was turned on very high.
Si Mingchen took out the flowers carefully and walked into the bedroom.
Wen Zhi was sleeping soundly. Because it was too hot, he kicked off the quilt, revealing a small part of his white waist.
Si Mingchen put the flowers on the bedside table, kissed Wen Zhi, and got up to take a shower.
Wen Zhi was humming and talking in his sleep. In his dream, he always felt that someone was touching him. Half asleep and half awake, he suddenly opened his eyes and the sound of bath water in the bathroom echoed in his ears.
As soon as he turned around, he immediately saw the flowers next to him. Surprised, he picked up the bouquet curiously.
The sound of water became clearer and clearer, and the bright yellow light in the bathroom made him feel warm and safe.
This sense of security cannot be given by anyone.
Wen Zhi smiled foolishly towards the bathroom, quietly walked barefoot to the front of the bathroom.
It’s not too late now, and it looks like Si Mingchen has solved the problem successfully.
Holding a huge bouquet that filled his entire chest, he happily turned around in front of the bathroom door and took a photo with his mobile phone.
Although it is an extraordinary period now and we have to pretend to be missing, it is also possible to show off later if we survive.
His Sisi is so gentle. She didn't lose her composure when faced with such a thing, and she even bought him a bouquet of flowers when she got home.
Wen Zhi rubbed his face against it and sniffed it, just like an ignorant little bumpkin.
In fact, the flowers that Si Mingchen gave him in the past four years could fill the entire backyard.
At this moment, the water flow in the bathroom stopped.
Wen Zhi held the flowers obediently, wishing she could get inside to watch Si Mingchen change his clothes.
He came well prepared this time. He not only brought himself, but also the love letter that Si Mingchen gave him and some things that could not be seen by outsiders.
He couldn't help himself and quietly opened the bathroom door.
The door creaked open.
Si Mingchen had already put on his black pajamas and was wiping his back with a towel.
He turned his head slightly after hearing the sound. In the air, looking into Wen Zhi's eyes.
At this moment, those cold and deep eyes suddenly became warm.
"Zhizhi, wake up."
Because of the fog, the glass window of the bathroom door was covered with water droplets.
Wen Zhi stuck his head in the crack of the door, staring at Si Mingchen from top to bottom, not missing any place where he was distracted.
Simingchen put on his pajamas and asked gently, "What's wrong? Do you want to take a shower too?"
Wen Zhi shook his head: "I don't want to wash."
Si Mingchen put down the towel and walked towards him: "Don't get your head stuck in the door. It might hurt you."
Wen Zhi was still staring at Si Mingchen blankly, as if he could never see enough.
Si Mingchen smiled, one of the few times he had smiled in recent days, and walked to Wen Zhi, bowing slightly: "What's wrong? You keep looking at me, do you have something to say?"
Wen Zhi's eyes sparkled: "Si Mingchen, you seem to have lost a lot of weight."
Si Mingchen raised his hand and touched his head: "Yeah." He hadn't seen Wen Zhi for a few days, and he missed him so much. It seemed that just saying these words could ease some of the unbearable longing.
Wen Zhi is always like this, like a warm little stove. As long as he is by his side, he can feel at ease.
Si Mingchen smiled gently, his tone full of longing: "Zhizhi feels sorry for me——"
Before he could finish his words, Wen Zhi interrupted him with the next sentence, and then said secretly: "It seems to be a lot smaller.
Si Mingchen's smile froze on the corners of his lips.
