When Xu Nuo woke up again, she was greeted by a room with a dim, yellowish light. The walls were covered with dark yellow wallpaper, and the ceiling was rather low.
Hey~~ Xu Nuo blinked again. Why is there an iron railing on the ceiling?
Xu Nuo still remembers fainting in front of the villa, so where is she now?
My neck is still a little sore, and I was just about to raise my hand to rub it when I felt a weight on my wrist.
Xu Nuo shook her sore neck, sat up, and raised her wrist. She first heard a series of metallic sounds, and then looked down to see a metal chain on her right wrist, one end fastened to her wrist and the other end seemingly under the bed!
He moved his right hand and pulled the chain. It was quite long; he had pulled it this far and it still wasn't over!
Raise your left hand, and like your right, it's encased in a metal ring, with a long chain trailing behind!
Xu Nuo looked at the metal ring on her right wrist, smiled helplessly, and suddenly remembered something, so she reached up and touched her neck!
Thank goodness! There's nothing on my neck!
Remembering what she had said, Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ye Linyan didn't have any special hobbies!
The bed beneath her was soft and comfortable, and the bedding was all black. Xu Nuo looked around the room, which was only a dozen square meters in size. There were no windows, only a door on the right side directly in front of her!
It was very quiet all around. Xu Nuo closed her eyes and listened carefully, but there wasn't a sound at all!
Where is this? Where did Ye Linyan lock him up?
Xu Nuo lifted the blanket and thankfully found that her feet were not locked.
There was nothing on three walls except for the wallpaper, which was dimly lit by the floor lamp. On the other wall was a wardrobe. Xu Nuo walked to the wardrobe and opened it!
There were several suits hanging inside. The wardrobe wasn't very big. Besides the suits hanging on top, there were also some unopened underwear and socks on the bottom!
There are also a few pairs of leather shoes at the very bottom! They all look brand new!
There was another door on the side of the wardrobe. Xu Nuo opened it, and the light inside was motion-activated, turning on the moment the door was opened. It was a bathroom, fully furnished and neatly arranged!
Xu Nuo glanced at the toiletries, all of which were brands Ye Linyan usually used. He also looked at the wardrobe, which was probably full of suits prepared for Ye Linyan. He had just checked the size, and it was Ye Linyan's size!
Xu Nuo sat back on the bed, smiling faintly. If he wasn't mistaken, this should be the lounge inside Ye Linyan's office!
He had never been to Ye Linyan's office, but he knew that there was a lounge in Ye Linyan's office!
What is this? Imprisonment?
Xu Nuo looked at the metal rings on her two wrists and thought to herself.
He was quite well prepared; the length of the chain allowed him to walk anywhere in the bathroom, but he couldn't leave the room!
Xu Nuo pulled the chain to the end and followed it to the bottom of the bed, only to see that the other end of the chain was firmly welded to the ground!
Looking around, running away was almost impossible! Even if we managed to get out of this room, we probably wouldn't be able to get out of here!
"Idiot! Night owl!"
Xu Nuo punched the bed hard, lay back down, and mentally considered her chances of getting out.
It's not entirely Night Cat's fault; I also have to blame myself. If I had agreed to let Night Cat bring some people with him, I wouldn't have been locked up here so easily by Ye Linyan!
Xu Nuo didn't know how long he had been asleep. The feeling of hunger in his stomach reminded him that he must have slept for quite a while!
Just as Xu Nuo was wondering if anyone would bring him food, the door opened, and a blinding light followed!
The shaking made Xu Nuo close her eyes.
Xu Nuo opened her eyes after a while, and the person who came was Wang Mingwu, who was carrying a lunchbox!
"Brother Wu, you hit me too hard! My neck hurts so much!"
Xu Nuo smiled and said to Wang Mingwu.
Let's eat!
Wang Mingwu placed the lunchbox on the bedside table, took out a small folding table from behind the bedside table, unfolded it, and placed it in front of the bed.
Xu opened the lunchbox, and inside were two dishes and a soup, with rice at the bottom!
"The company lunch!"
Wang Mingwu paused for a moment, then turned to leave.
"Brother Wu, I need to see my brother!" Xu Nuo immediately called out to him.
"I'll pass on the message to him!"
Xu Nuo didn't actually like talking to Wang Mingwu because he never gave her a clear answer. Just now, he only said he would pass on the message!
Every time Xu Nuo talked to Wang Mingwu, he felt like he was punching cotton; the discomfort was so intense that it took him a while to recover!
Xu Nuo picked up the spoon, about to put the food in her mouth, but then thought better of it and put it down!
Ye Linyan probably won't see him! He needs to think of a way himself!
After putting the lunchbox away, Xu Nuo lay back on the bed, feeling a little hungry, and murmured to herself, "I hope my brother won't let me go hungry for too long!"
..............................................................
Ye Linyan was actually in the office. He had heard the conversation between Wang Mingwu and Xu Nuo. The lounge was soundproofed, so when the door was closed, the sound inside couldn't get out, and of course, the sound outside couldn't get in either!
When Wang Mingwu delivered food to Xu Nuo, the door was open, so Ye Linyan heard every word of their conversation.
After Wang Mingwu came out, he saw Ye Linyan standing quietly in front of the window, not saying a word, so he turned around and left the office.
Ye Linyan held a cigarette to his lips, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring that blurred the scenery before him. He didn't know when he had come to like cigarettes; from the first puff he took in the underground boxing rings, the faint smoke rings and slightly bitter taste could wash away the troubles in his heart.
From the height of the sunlight until the setting sun turned blood red, cigarette butts were scattered all around Ye Linyan's feet.
Wang Jinfeng pushed open the office door and coughed a few times as soon as he stepped inside, overwhelmed by the pungent smell of smoke.
"Are you trying to become an immortal?!"
He waved the hand holding the document in the air, trying to disperse some of the smoke.
Ye Linyan turned slightly to the side and opened the window in front of him a crack!
"How are the preparations going?"
Ye Linyan's voice sounded a little hoarse, perhaps because he smoked too much.
"That's about it!"
Wang Jinfeng glanced a few times in the direction of the lounge, walked to Ye Linyan's side, and wanted to ask about Xu Nuo, but didn't know how to start.
"Does the company's finance department have any money available?"
Wang Jinfeng paused upon hearing this, then replied, "I can squeeze out a little, but not much! How much do you need?"
"One hundred million!"
After uttering those three words, Ye Linyan chuckled.
"What do you need so much money for? Where would you get so much?"
"Think of a way! Help me raise the money in about three days!" Ye Linyan heard his phone vibrate, looked down at the phone beside him, and saw two big words on it: Cheng Ying!
"Not answering?"
Seeing that Ye Linyan didn't seem inclined to take the phone, Wang Jinfeng's hand, which was about to help him with the phone, froze in mid-air.
"I don't want to answer, and I don't know what to say!"
Ye Linyan was very agitated; this was the fourth time Cheng Ying had called his cell phone.
"What do you plan to do about Xu Nuo?" Wang Jinfeng glanced at the door of the lounge again: "How did you even come up with this idea, bringing him here!"
"It's safe here! He can't escape! And no one else can get in!"
After Xu Nuo ran away from the villa for the first time, Ye Linyan started thinking about where to lock him up. After much deliberation, he realized that nowhere was safe, so he finally decided on this lounge in his company office.
Ye Linyan wasn't comfortable leaving Xu Nuo in the villa or anywhere else. Besides Night Owl Xu Nuo, there might be other people there. No matter where she was placed, there was no way to prevent someone from rescuing Xu Nuo! Or...
The company is different. This is the city center, with people coming and going during the day. No one would dare to come here to poach people!
"Can you leave him here for the rest of your life?" Wang Jinfeng asked tentatively.
"I'm waiting for news. In a few days, my uncle will arrange for people and a boat to take him away!"
"I have a feeling that Xu Nuo is a ticking time bomb. Why don't you send him to your uncle's place and have him send someone to keep an eye on him? That way you'll feel more at ease!"
Wang Jinfeng made the suggestion.
"No way! What kind of place is that? No good person would stay in a place like that!"
Ye Linyan directly rejected Wang Jinfeng's proposal.
"Is he a good person? I think he'll thrive there! He might even do better than your uncle!"
Knowing Ye Linyan's hesitation, Wang Jinfeng continued, "What are you hesitating about?"
"I'm thinking..."
Ye Linyan paused, taking a long time to catch his breath before continuing, "If he doesn't want to leave, is that alright? After we win the electronics engineering project, the board meeting is about to start. As long as I successfully take over Ye's Group..."
"What about Cheng Ying? Without the Cheng family, would those people on the board have agreed so easily?"
Wang Jinfeng stared at him sideways.
"I don't want to get married!"
Ye Linyan looked up, and after speaking, it felt as if a weight had been lifted from her heart, making her feel much more at ease!
Upon hearing this, Wang Jinfeng was startled!
