Qiao Jiabao was pinned under the armpits by his men. He finally lost his composure and struggled desperately.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Qiao Jiabao's legs kicked desperately, but no matter how he struggled, it was of no use.
The men clamped Qiao Jiabao even tighter and yelled at him, "Behave yourself!"
They completely forgot that just now, they were respectfully calling Qiao Jiabao "Young Master", and now their attitude completely changed.
Qiao Jiabao panicked even more, "Bad guy! Let me go!"
"If you don't behave yourself, I will punish you by not letting you eat for five days and starve you to death!" The subordinate grabbed Qiao Jiabao's neck and threw him into the attic until his face turned red.
While being abused by his men, Qiao Jiabao looked at Cen Juan helplessly. Cen Juan just watched it all coldly without any distress or reluctance.
When the attic door slammed shut, Qiao Jiabao recalled Cen Juan's look just now, and he felt his heart dead.
The attic was incredibly dark. Qiao Jiabao rushed to the door and banged on the wooden door hard.
"Open the door! Open the door! Let me out!" Qiao Jiabao banged on the door until his hands were red and swollen.
After a while, a cold and ruthless voice sounded outside the door: "This is what happens when you don't love me."
Cen Juan's voice ruthlessly made Qiao Jiabao feel even more desperate.
He was ready to beg Cen Juan again. If Cen Juan let him out, he could still think that this mother loved him. But if she really starved him for three days, he would make up his mind that he would never recognize this mother again.
"Mom, I know I was wrong. Please let me out." Qiao Jiabao's tears flowed down his cheeks, feeling helpless and pitiful.
He wanted to arouse a little sympathy from Cen Juan.
But the reality is cruel. Cen Juan is not so easily moved. She doesn't know when she became a cold-blooded and ruthless woman.
"Hmph, are you scared now? Your begging for mercy is fake, you are just afraid of starving!" Cen Juan said contemptuously.
Qiao Jiabao sobbed and pleaded in a trembling voice, "Mom, I didn't lie. I really know I was wrong. I am your biological son. Please, don't do this to me."
"When you get close to others, have you ever thought of me as your mother?!" Cen Juan was suddenly irritated and yelled towards the door.
This roar scared Qiao Jiabao. He shrank back a few steps, his eyes filled with fear.
"I..." Qiao Jiabao wanted to continue explaining, but he couldn't say anything. He and Cen Juan had indeed become estranged. This was an undeniable fact, but this estrangement was not the situation he wanted to see...
What exactly caused the relationship between mother and son to fall apart?
Maybe it started when Cen Juan fell in love with that man Qiao Jiabao.
"You should be locked up here and reflect on yourself. Think about who raised you to this age and who has given you the most. Could it be those two bitches Zhao Xiaocui and Jiang Ranran?!"
Cen Juan was outside the door, blaming Qiao Jiabao without any sympathy or heartache.
At this point, Qiao Jiabao had given up begging for mercy and just stood there woodenly, listening to her verbal attacks.
Soon, he heard the sound of Cen Juan stomping down the stairs. As the footsteps faded away, Qiao Jiabao felt weak all over. He sat on the ground with his back against the door, buried his head in his knees, and sobbed softly.
"Aunt Ranran, when will you come to see me? I'm really scared..." Qiao Jiabao muttered softly, not daring to speak loudly for fear that Cen Juan would hear it.
In the dark room, there was silence, with only a little light coming through a small window above the attic.
I don’t know if it was Qiao Jiabao’s illusion, but he always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the darkness.
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid..." Qiao Jiabao tried to comfort himself, but the more he comforted himself, the more afraid he became.
Tears fell to the ground. Qiao Jiabao didn't know how he would get through the next few days. There was no one to talk to, no food to eat, and not even a bit of light. Every minute and every second here felt like a year.
Qiao Jiabao had been squatting by the door, never daring to go any closer. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there before he fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, he saw Jiang Ranran and Zhao Xiaocui. They had arranged a sumptuous dinner for him, and he was very happy.
But when he opened his eyes, there was nothing, even the light coming through the small window was gone.
Qiao Jiabao realized that it was getting dark.
Fortunately, he had eaten some of the food that Cen Juan gave him before being locked up here, so he wasn't too hungry now.
Qiao Jiabao began to look around the place. It was pitch black everywhere, but with the help of a little moonlight, he could see that this was a relatively narrow attic with simple decoration.
Obviously, no one has been here for a long time, and there is a faint musty smell in the air.
He was tired of sitting, so he turned over and lay on the floor, forcing himself to continue sleeping, which could relieve his fear and loneliness.

orphanage.
Jiang Ranran immediately notified Wu Wei to investigate the matter, but Wu Wei checked all the surveillance cameras around and found no clues.
"I've looked everywhere, but I couldn't find Qiao Jiabao." Wu Wei informed Jiang Ranran with a dejected look.
When did this Cen Juan become so powerful? She could actually hack all the surrounding surveillance cameras and wipe herself out?
Wu Wei found it a little unbelievable.
"Then call out from farther away. I don't believe she can hack all the surveillance systems in the world." Jiang Ranran glanced at Wu Wei with some dissatisfaction. The only thought in her mind was to find Qiao Jiabao.
Wu Wei didn't dare to disobey Jiang Ranran's wishes, and quickly nodded and said, "I'll do it right away."
Wu Wei wanted to find surveillance cameras farther away, but he couldn't do it alone. He simply called everyone in the company to check with him. Although it seemed like looking for a needle in a haystack, there was strength in numbers, and they finally found it.
Three blocks away from the orphanage, the picture was interrupted.
A person who had not appeared in the previous surveillance suddenly broke into the next screen, as if traveling through time and space. It was obvious that the previous screen had been hacked, but the next screen had not. This was the range of the surveillance they had hacked into.
The man was carrying a sack on his shoulders. Judging from the shape of the sack on his shoulders, it was possible that it was a child.
Wu Wei immediately sent the picture to Jiang Ranran, "Ms. Jiang, I found it."
Jiang Ranran looked at the person on the phone and immediately had a hunch that the person in the sack on his shoulder must be Qiao Jiabao!
"Investigate it for me. Even if you have to turn this city upside down, you have to find this person for me." Jiang Ranran gave a death order. When Gu Tingchen was not around, Wu Wei had to obey her completely.
