Watching Cheng Ran and Shi Yan leave, the expressions on the faces of the Cheng family members changed inscrutable.
"Mom, it seems that gentleman made the move. But Cheng Ran just let her go like that?" Li Ziqi stood up worriedly and looked out the window. Several black cars were parked in the back parking lot of Qinheyu, and several people got out of them.
Cheng Yuan was completely bewildered: "What, 'that gentleman'? What are you talking about?"
Su Tian glanced at Cheng Li, who hesitated for a moment before finally taking out his phone to make a call, "Keep the person here."
Su Tian said coldly in a low voice, "Keep the person here, but keep it quiet."
"No! Mom, what are you trying to do? Didn't we agree to cooperate well with my younger sister's husband, and that the will could be negotiated again—"
Li Ziqi chuckled, "Big brother is indeed a man of great loyalty."
Cheng Yuan realized something was wrong and got up to leave, only to find the elevator stuck on the first floor. He hurriedly tried to make a phone call, but several men suddenly entered the corridor on the third floor and snatched his phone away.
Su Tianqian took a sip of tea. Across the table, a white cell phone kept ringing. She glanced at it.
【Xiaoxi】
Su Tian calmly waited for the phone to hang up, then said to the men in black, "Take care of them. The Shi family might come looking for us, so try to stall them."
"Mom! What are you trying to do?!"
"I'm doing this for your company, let's go!" Su Tian said nothing, and the group followed the man in black out of the stairwell.
After finishing his business and giving a few instructions, Shi Youxi walked out. He glanced at his location and saw that his sister had been in Qinheyu for over an hour.
He made several calls, but no one answered.
"Hey, are you done? Wait, wait, I'm about to get a pentakill!" Guan Shiyan squatted outside the auditorium. He knew who it was without even needing to confirm who it was when he heard the footsteps.
Shi Youxi grabbed him and pulled him up. "Where's your car?"
"What kind of car is this? I brought three pairs of super-fast shoes, ah!" The phone, glowing with colorful special effects, was flung away.
"Shi Youxi, you!" Guan Shiyan's initial curse vanished the moment he saw Shi Youxi's gloomy expression. "What's wrong with you? I took a taxi here..."
"Xiao Xi."
Shi Bianji appeared at the entrance of the auditorium at some point. He leaned against the front of a black car, his silver hair shining brighter under the streetlights than the high beams in the dark.
Shi Youxi ignored him and dragged Guan Shiyan toward the school's bicycle shed. As they passed the black cab, Shi Bianji smiled and said to him, "It's been so long. Xiao Xi, don't you want to have a meal with me and have a good chat?"
"..."
Guan Shiyan didn't know what was going on between this person and Shi Youxi; he only knew that Shi Youxi would sometimes fall ill because of this person.
Although it's not serious, it will definitely affect Shi Youxi.
"It's been too long since we last met, so our conversation will be awkward. Uncle, please don't keep us from getting home from school."
Shi Bianji glanced at Guan Shiyan, then said to Shi Youxi, "Your friend?!"
"Xiao Xi actually has a friend... Tsk, what a pity. I was going to give you the gift I prepared, but now I don't want to."
"What are you babbling about, uncle? Besides, my name is—"
Before Guan Shiyan could finish his threatening words, Shi Youxi's phone rang. He looked up at the caller ID and saw it wasn't his sister, but Shi Si.
"What's wrong?"
"The lady has disappeared."
Shi Youxi's pupils shrank. "My sister is gone?!"
"What do you mean, 'sister is a madam'! The people at the sanatorium have been locked up, and they're searching everywhere for them. I suspect it's related to Shi Bianji. Is he still with you?!"
Shi Youxi tightened his grip, glanced at Shi Bianji who was smiling faintly to the side, and gritted his teeth, saying, "A gift?"
Shi Bianji shrugged and watched the two boys rush away. His eyes were filled with gloom, and he narrowed his eyes as he recalled the boys' momentary look of fear and panic.
"elder sister?"
His little Xi not only has friends by his side, but also another older sister he cares about very much…
Compared to when he was a little boy who cried and hid in his arms, "he's become less adorable..."
Shi Youxi rushed to the carport and went straight to the blue awning that had been sealed off. He had the key, so he inserted it and pulled hard to open the iron gate. Guan Shiyan caught up from behind, shouting, "What are you doing! What happened!"
"Your car keys," Shi Youxi said, his face tense.
Guan Shiyan was taken aback. He pulled out a set of keys from under the red motorcycle, shook it to remove the dust, and then handed it to Shi Youxi before realizing, "No, you can't ride this. If you take it on the road, you'll just drive straight to the station!"
He tried to steal the keys, but he couldn't.
The boy straddled the motorcycle with his long legs, his black helmet pulled down, and his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes peeked out from behind the visor.
He twisted the accelerator and drove off from the other end.
Guan Shiyan's legs, which were trying to climb onto the back seat, were pushed by the car's rear-wheel drive, almost causing him to fall flat on his face. "Damn it, you're not taking me with you! I'm willing to go with you and face the police! And you're not taking me! This is my car!!! Shi Youxi, you son of a bitch, stop!"
A streak of red light flashed by, and Guan Shiyan cursed under his breath. He used the metal frame of the awning to climb over the school wall and flagged down a taxi without saying a word. "Uncle! That red one up ahead, follow it closely!"
He patted his pocket; damn it, Shi Youxi had just dropped his phone on the ground and he hadn't picked it up. Luckily, he had a habit of carrying his wallet with him.
The taxi driver watched as he pulled out a few red RMB bills, then without saying a word, released the handbrake and chased after the motorcycle, which was now only a bright white headlight.
A roaring sound echoed from afar on the lanes beneath the Second Ring Road elevated highway.
The Land Rover driver, who was waiting at a red light, had just stuck his head out when he heard the noise, and a sharp gust of wind brushed past his face.
Something flew by.
He quickly looked ahead and saw a red Ducati ignoring the traffic lights, speeding straight through the intersection and disappearing into the night in the distance, leaving only the tall, upright figure of the boy lying on the bike.
A taxi sped up next to the Land Rover, its front wheels scraping the white lines. The Land Rover driver saw the boy in the passenger seat excitedly gesturing at the driver, shouting, "Drive, uncle! I'll pay the fine for you!"
The taxi driver roared disdainfully, "Are you going to deduct points from my account too?!"
Guan Shiyan waved his hand dismissively: "Go ahead and deduct it, I'm a minor anyway!"
"......."
Shi Youxi turned the car up to 120 km/h. He stared at the flashing streets around him, his mind constantly replaying the "gift" that Shi Bianji had mentioned.
Shi Bianji and Shi Si have the same status, both being adopted by the Shi family. However, Shi Bianji's status is slightly higher, as he saved Old Master Shi's life and only holds a small share in the Shi family business.
Shi Bianji took his mother away not to threaten his father. Shi Bianji's power and assets are all overseas; he has no influence in China and can only rely on others. If something happens to his mother, everything Shi Bianji has overseas will be used by Shi Yan to pay the price.
Yes, Shi Bianji knew that his mother was the most important person to his father. He took his mother away only to... to distract Shi Yan, who was currently with Cheng Ran!
It's Cheng Ran!
elder sister!
Shi Youxi slammed on the brakes, his sneakers hitting the concrete, and used the momentum to swerve the Ducati around.
The green light has finally come on here.
The Land Rover driver slowly turned on his turn signal, and seeing that the taxi was in a hurry to go straight, he kindly gave way to them.
The taxi had just started moving when all three people in the two cars simultaneously heard that arrogant, deep roar. The red car sped past again, and the Land Rover driver couldn't resist leaning out and whistling, "That little brother's so cool!"
"Cool my ass! That's my car! I'm the cool one!" Guan Shiyan howled at Shi Youxi's departing figure a few times, then urged the driver, "Keep up! Keep up!"
"You can't turn around here, damn it!"
"......."
At this moment, in the escape stairwell of the Qinheyu, Mu Yiran was drenched in sweat.
Her hair, which had been styled in a bun, was now disheveled from the escape, with strands clinging to her face. Through her earphones, she could hear Li Bu Huo's intermittent questioning voice.
"I'm walking towards you. Do you know where the surveillance area is? Go to the place with surveillance cameras!"
Mu Yiran gasped for breath, only able to make monotonous sounds. Of course, she knew where the most surveillance was taking place: the border between the Shinwa Imperial Household and the Imperial Household. Go down to the second floor of the stairs, cross a courtyard, and you'd be there. At least there would be Shinwa Imperial people there, giving her a chance to call for help.
She didn't know who wanted her dead; people were chasing her both downstairs and upstairs, so she could only run towards the middle.
The only sounds in the deserted stairwell were her footsteps and the rattling of the handrail; the waiter was still chasing after her up there.
Mu Yiran pushed open the heavy door and saw the figure swaying over Lu Ting's side. She shouted, "Help—ah!"
Her hair was suddenly yanked, and a calloused hand covered her mouth, pulling Mu Yiran backward...
At the duty station in Luting, Chen Yili had just finished applying medicine and was about to return to the front hall for his shift when he suddenly scraped something hard under his foot.
He looked down and saw a dark-colored hair clip. He had just seen this hair clip before; it was the one that the beautiful lady was wearing.
Chen Yili picked it up, and as he looked down, he heard a few muffled sounds coming from the kitchen storage area. The motion-sensor lights turned on and off with his footsteps, and the white earphones lay quietly on the ground.
