The next day at work, Jiang Ning received another phone call from Chen Hao inviting her to dinner.
And he did it himself.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I have to go home to pick up the children. I usually don't go out for business dinners in the evening."
This is what she has been saying to all her clients over the past few years.
Actually, the children are in the third grade now and are escorted by bodyguards, so they are very safe.
Chen Hao chuckled, "President Jiang, no one has ever refused my invitation twice before. You're the first. You'll come."
Although he is now engaged in legal business, he still retains a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the underworld or江湖义气, a code of honor among江湖 people) vibe.
Jiang Ning hung up the phone feeling very uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, her right eyelid kept twitching when she got off work.
She rested for a while before going out to drive.
Now, for the convenience of commuting to and from get off work, they each bought a car, but she still drives that Crown.
She arrived at the parking lot, and just as she put her hand on the doorknob, a black bag suddenly loomed over her head.
She was then shoved into another car, and no matter how much she struggled and screamed, no one paid any attention to her.
The vehicle stopped after about an hour.
She was then freed from the bag.
She opened her eyes and adjusted to the light outside.
It was already dusk, and only a wisp of colorful clouds remained on the horizon.
The place where she was standing was a detached building that resembled a castle.
"Go." A knife was pressed against her waist, and the man in the patterned shirt growled.
Following their instructions, Jiang Ning entered the building.
She wanted to see who dared to kidnap her.
The building is very luxurious, with European classical furniture that exudes wealth and splendor. A large crystal chandelier hangs in the living room, emitting a mesmerizing glow.
She was led to a brown dining table that was about five meters long.
At the other end of the table was Chen Hao, who had already set out the tableware and picked up his knife and fork to eat.
"Don't be shy, sit down and eat." He smiled slightly at Jiang Ning.
That smile was eerie yet carried a sense of triumphant conquest.
Jiang Ning sat down, her gaze sweeping over him.
He wore a beige silk blouse, a large gold chain around his neck, and a Rolex gold watch on his wrist; his attire clearly indicated his immense wealth.
A man stood behind him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but rough skin; he seemed to be his bodyguard.
"Mr. Chen, you have quite the refined taste. Renting a place to dine must have cost you a lot of money, right?" Jiang Ning said calmly, leaning back in his chair without touching his knife and fork.
Chen Hao cut off a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, chewing quickly, with crumbs spraying out.
"It's not much money, only two thousand yuan a night, nothing. Mr. Jiang, why aren't you eating? Are you afraid I'll drug you?"
As he spoke, he asked the waiter standing next to him to taste the food for her.
Jiang Ning remained unmoved.
"I didn't come here for a meal. What do you want from me? If not, I'll be leaving now."
She knew perfectly well that she wouldn't leave so easily, but she just didn't want to say anything soft.
Chen Hao took a big gulp of red wine and let out a satisfied burp.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Since you're not going to eat, let's go play some mahjong. I have some business to discuss with you."
As he spoke, he gulped down the entire glass of red wine, then picked up a toothpick and began picking his teeth as he walked toward the adjacent card room.
Under the threat of the knife at his waist, Jiang Ning had no choice but to walk over there and play mahjong with them.
The bodyguard and another woman joined the game.
While playing, Chen Hao told Jiang Ning that he wanted to build a five-star hotel and a huge shopping mall in the location of Jixiang Community.
There are currently no five-star hotels in the entire capital city.
The best hotels are those that cater to foreign guests.
Jiang Ning thought the project was good, but cooperating with people like them would probably leave them with nothing but scraps in the end.
"I have no interest in real estate at the moment," she said, declining the offer to cooperate.
Just then, romantic music started playing from the dance hall next door, where many people were dancing together.
Chen Hao then suggested inviting Jiang Ning to dance.
Jiang Ning got angry and stood up abruptly.
To her surprise, as soon as she stood up, she felt very dizzy.
She clearly didn't eat or drink anything just now, so how did she end up like this?
She suddenly noticed that there was an incense burner burning behind her.
The smoke from the incense burner was just enough to reach her.
"Miss Jiang, you know, ever since I saw you on TV, I've been captivated by your looks. I just want to dance with you, you won't refuse, will you?"
Jiang Ning braced herself against the table, barely managing to stand.
She felt dizzy, her vision was blurry, and her body felt weak and powerless.
If this continues, she will definitely faint.
"Mr. Chen, I'm going to the restroom for a bit. I'll dance with you again when I get back." Jiang Ning suddenly softened her tone.
Chen Hao wasn't worried at all that she could escape his grasp, so he let her go without worry.
Someone was guarding the bathroom door; she had no way to escape.
After a quarter of an hour, he grew impatient and sent someone inside to look for him.
The toilet stalls were pushed open one by one, but there was no one inside.
She simply vanished into thin air.
Chen Hao ran into the bathroom and saw only a crack in the ceiling.
"Damn it, that bitch ran off through the ceiling, she can't have gone far, hurry up and go outside to chase her."
He gave orders to his bodyguards.
The man who had threatened her with a knife earlier led a few other people out.
Chen Hao said to his bodyguard:
"Tao, why didn't you tell me she had this ability? I always thought that a pampered wife like her could be easily taken down."
