Li Wenjuan and Zhou Zhe went to the outskirts of the city.
Zhou Zhe eagerly stretched out his hand and said, "What about the other recipe? Give it to me quickly!"
Li Wenjuan looked at Zhou Zhe with some disappointment and said, "Is the formula the only thing that matters to you? What about me?"
Zhou Zhe began to coax Li Wenjuan, saying, "Of course you're important. But let's get this important matter done first."
Li Wenjuan sneered, "Hmph! Finished? When will it be finished? The glass is made, the soap is made, and now all that's left is the formula. If I give it to you, will you never see me again?"
Zhou Zhe laughed and said, "How could that be? You're overthinking it."
Li Wenjuan: "Okay! Then don't make me overthink it, take me far away right now!"
Zhou Zhe hesitated, then tried to coax Li Wenjuan, saying, "Wenjuan, now is not the time to leave. I still have a lot of things to arrange."
Li Wenjuan: When can you make arrangements? After the baby is born?
Zhou Zhe: "Child, child?"
Li Wenjuan touched her belly and said, "Yes! It's our child! I can't stay in the Xu family anymore."
A hint of joy appeared on Zhou Zhe's face, but then his expression became uncertain again.
Zhou Zhe: "How do I know if it's my child? You sleep in the same bed with your man at the Xu family home every day. What if it's not my child?"
Li Wenjuan was trembling with rage. Crying, she pointed at Zhou Zhe and said, "You heartless bastard! I stole the formula for you! Now that I'm pregnant with your child, there's no going back to the Xu family. And now, I never expected you to treat me like this!"
Zhou Zhe felt a little soft-hearted and reached out his hand to Li Wenjuan.
Li Wenjuan: "Fine! Since you won't admit it, I'll just go back and confess everything to the Xu family!"
A chill ran through Zhou Zhe's eyes as he shouted, "You dare!"
Li Wenjuan looked at Zhou Zhe in disbelief and said, "Are you threatening me? Or did you approach me in the first place just for the formula?"
Zhou Zhe sneered: "So what if I am? Didn't you toy with me in the same way back then?"
Li Wenjuan: "Zhou Zhe, so you've been using me all along!"
Zhou Zhe: "You're only finding out now! But it's too late! All I need to do now is knock you out and take you somewhere no one can find you. In less than two years, the Xu family will forget about you."
Terrified, Li Wenjuan cried out, "No! I want to go home! I want to go back!"
In the capital city, Qi Junlin was galloping at full speed.
He encountered soldiers outside the city gate and told them, "Inform Qi Junxian to gather troops and search outside the city!"
Everyone recognized Qi Junlin, and they opened the city gates and responded.
"yes!"
Qi Junlin dared not delay and went to find his aunt with his cousin Xu Tingting.
After receiving the notification, Qi Junxian personally led his men to the outskirts of the city.
Outside the city, Li Wenjuan, who was crying and shouting that she wanted to go home, was knocked unconscious from behind by Zhou Zhe.
Li Wenjuan collapsed.
Zhou Zhe carried Li Wenjuan onto the carriage.
Qi Junlin questioned every suspicious person he saw in the suburbs.
Along the way, he even took out his aunt's portrait and asked passersby about her whereabouts, but still came up empty-handed.
A horse-drawn carriage sped along a narrow path.
A handkerchief flew out of the carriage, and Xu Tingting caught it.
Xu Tingting examined the handkerchief closely, then exclaimed joyfully, "Cousin, this is Mother's handkerchief! Mother must be in the carriage ahead!"
Qi Junlin quickly caught up and blocked the carriage.
The coachman stopped the carriage.
Qi Junlin: "Everyone inside, come down immediately!"
Zhou Zhe stepped out of the carriage and looked Xu Tingting and Qi Junlin up and down.
Zhou Zhe: "Young master, we have no grudges against each other. I am in a hurry to get on my way, so please do me a favor and let me pass."
Qi Junlin: "I suspect someone has been kidnapped in your carriage. Have us search your carriage immediately!"
Zhou Zhe: "Don't even think about it!"
Qi Junlin: "Then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Qi Junlin assumed a fighting stance and began to fight Zhou Zhe.
Zhou Zhe gave the coachman a wink.
The coachman covered Xu Tingting's face with a handkerchief.
Xu Tingting immediately fainted.
The coachman carried Xu Tingting onto the carriage.
Qi Junlin saw this and rushed to save his cousin.
Qi Junlin: "Tingting! You coachman, put her down right now!"
The coachman ignored Qi Junlin's shouts, threw Xu Tingting into the carriage, and drove away!
Qi Junlin panicked: "Tingting, Tingting—"
Just then, Zhou Zhe entangled Qi Junlin, preventing him from getting away and saving Xu Tingting.
As Qi Junlin watched the carriage carrying Xu Tingting drive further and further away, his heart grew increasingly panicked.
At this time, Qi Junxian had already led his men to the outskirts of the city.
Qi Junxian flew off his horse to help his elder brother fight Zhou Zhe.
Qi Junlin: "Quickly go find Tingting! Tingting has been taken away by that carriage ahead! And your aunt is in that carriage too!"
Qi Junxian: "Okay! I'll go right now!"
Qi Junxian sent a team of men to stay behind and help his elder brother control Zhou Zhe.
Then, he led a group of men to chase after the carriage.
The outside world is in complete chaos.
Meanwhile, Qiuqiu was happily munching on a chicken leg and drinking milk at home.
But she was already fully aware of what was happening outside.
Xiao Feng looked outside anxiously and said, "Master, aren't you going to help them?"
Chirp: "Sigh! I won't help!"
They brought this upon themselves; if they don't learn their lesson soon, how will they ever get it?
