Chapter 143 Let her go
In the study on the second floor, the man stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, his gaze fixed on the woman at the door, his expression unreadable.
His subordinate followed behind him, "Mr. Li, are you really going to let Madam go?"
Li Yanzhou returned to his desk and sat down, his fingertips tapping the surface absently, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Have someone follow her, make sure nothing happens to her."
He's been so busy these past few days, and she's been so noisy and controlling. He has so little energy that he's barely able to deal with her.
Seeing that she was feeling stifled, he thought he might as well let her go out for a walk, and he could come back after bumping his head and getting hurt.
Although it sounds bad and cruel, it is a way.
Right now, his top priority is to protect Ron.

Luo Tingwei walked alone on the highway.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with not a single car in sight, except for the occasional sound of a car horn passing by.
Luo Tingwei walked and stopped frequently, feeling both thirsty and exhausted.
"Are we stopping again?"
The bodyguards following behind were also complaining, "How many times have we stopped here already?"
Another bodyguard glared at him. "What, you think you can get past Madam?"
"Really, Mr. Li. He clearly can't bear to part with her. He might as well have just had the driver take her."
"If we keep walking like this, how long will it take?"
Luo Tingwei had no idea that the bodyguards were following her from five meters away. All she knew was that she was too tired, so she had to rest every now and then.
Finally, night fell, and we reached a populated area.
The Luo family's large villa is located in the upper left corner of the city center.
She was already mentally calculating whether to take a bath first or have a spa treatment once she got home.
Let Uncle Zhong cook something delicious, that would be wonderful.
However, when she arrived at the place she remembered, all she saw was a bare, empty space.
What happened?
Where is her home?
Luo Tingwei stood there, frozen in place.
She suddenly remembered that Li Yanzhou had told her before that he had razed her house to the ground.
She thought it was just talk at the time.
No, are you serious?
What deep-seated hatred or grudge could have led to the demolition of her entire house?
For a moment, her mind went blank.
Where should she go?
At this moment, my stomach also started to growl, much to my dismay.
She checked her phone balance, sighed, and was about to call Huo Zhizhou when her phone announced that it was out of service due to unpaid bills and had no network.
...
Life seems to be full of unsolvable problems.
Luo Tingwei didn't know what to do.
Luo Shengtian's contact information is gone, and Huo Zhizhou can't be reached either. He's exhausted and hungry, and doesn't even have a place to stay tonight.
It's so annoying.
She thought ironically that if she wanted to go back and beg Li Yanzhou for help at this point, she wouldn't be able to contact him at all.
"Young Miss?"
Just then, a voice came from afar. The voice sounded very familiar and had a touch of vicissitude.
The footsteps drew closer.
"Young Miss, it really is you..."
Luo Tingwei looked up, and after two seconds she realized what was happening, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Uncle Zhong?"
He used to be their family's cook, and she loved his cooking the most.
The bodyguards hiding in the shadows began to whisper among themselves, "Who is that old man?"
"Should we go up and stop him?"
"Let's observe for a while," the group concluded.
"Uncle Zhong, what are you doing here? Where's my house? Why is everything gone?"
Luo Tingwei quickly asked.
Uncle Zhong sighed, "Miss, don't you know? Boss Li has already demolished this place and razed it to the ground."
He paused, as if realizing something, and looked at her with confusion. "By the way, what are you doing here? Where is Boss Li?"
Luo Tingwei heard him call her "Boss Li" and automatically associate her with Li Yanzhou, and she pondered for a moment.
She took a deep breath and looked at the person seriously. "Uncle Zhong, if I told you I can't remember some things from the past, would you believe me?"
Uncle Zhong was stunned for a moment, staring at her intently. "What?"
“I said, I can’t remember what happened in the past year, what happened between me and Li Yanzhou… why am I by his side? Why hasn’t Dad come looking for me after I’ve been gone for so long, without any news…”
...
Inside the coffee shop.
Uncle Zhong sighed, "That's how it is. I come back to check on things from time to time. In the end, it's because I haven't let go of what happened in the past..."
Luo Tingwei was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Why is it that what Uncle Zhong says is completely different from what Li Yanzhou told her?
Uncle Zhong said that Li Yanzhou framed and kidnapped Luo Shengtian, and after wiping out the entire Luo family, he forcibly took her to his side and imprisoned her.
However, Li Yanzhou told her that he and she had met in college a long time ago and had fallen in love with each other.
At the time, he solemnly declared that if he was lying, he would be struck by lightning.
Clearly, according to Uncle Zhong, Li Yanzhou was talking complete nonsense.
Why didn't lightning strike him dead? Luo Tingwei thought resentfully.
"Miss, I heard that your relationship with the master became very strained later. Are you still going to see the master?"
Uncle Zhong looked hesitant, then said, "The master has now married another woman and they have a son..."
"Young Miss, if you go to see him now..."
Uncle Zhong had already put it very tactfully.
The implication is that Luo Shengtian doesn't like you at all, so you shouldn't go.
However, Luo Tingwei was unaware of what had happened between her and her father; she simply felt that her relationship with Luo Shengtian shouldn't be so strained.
She was quite certain that meeting in person could foster a connection, and there was always room for things to be salvaged.
Moreover, Luo Shengtian used to dote on her quite a bit.
"Uncle Zhong, do you know where my father is now? I want to see him."
Uncle Zhong pondered for a moment, then asked, "Miss, have you thought it through? Are you really going?"
He does know where he is.
Luo Tingwei replied resolutely, "Yes."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her otherwise, Uncle Zhong sighed and said, "Alright, then come with me. I'll take you to where the master is staying now."
Uncle Zhong is sincere, and it would be a good thing if the relationship between father and daughter could be repaired.
Unfortunately, they hadn't gone far when someone suddenly stepped forward and stopped them.
"Madam, you cannot go."
The moment Luo Tingwei heard the word "Madam," she felt utterly devastated.
She knew without even thinking that it was one of Li Yanzhou's people.
"You've been following me? For how long?"
Luo Tingwei was genuinely angry.
"I'm sorry, madam, we are just following orders."
"You're not allowed to follow me anymore."
The visitor looked embarrassed. "Madam, please don't put us in a difficult position..."
Seeing that the people were blocking her way and wouldn't let her leave, Luo Tingwei gradually broke down. "Go away! Get away from me! Why won't you let me go? Li Yanzhou is a big liar! Didn't he say he would let me go? Why did he send you to monitor me? What do I have to do for him to finally let me go..."
Just then, a car drove by.
She lost her temper and rushed over, blocking the car.
Sizzle—
