"Wanqing?!" Gu Qingyan became even more anxious when he saw Xiao Wanqing hang up the phone. He reached out to snatch the phone from Lu Jia's hand and redial.
Lu Jia glanced at Gu's parents, frowned and suppressed her anger, turned around to avoid Gu Qingyan's entanglement, then sat down and pointed at the computer to Rong Mo, saying, "It just showed that Xiao Wanqing is here."
"At the seaside?" Rong Mo frowned, leaning down to examine the computer screen closely. This sea area was about 1,000 kilometers away from the capital.
"Wanqing is at the beach?" Gu Qingyan was initially unhappy that he didn't snatch the phone, but upon hearing Xiao Wanqing's whereabouts, he immediately came closer.
A murderous intent immediately emanated from Rong Mo.
"Sorry." Gu Suian immediately stepped forward, pulled Gu Qingyan to his side, and scolded, "What kind of trouble are you going to cause? Can't you see they're busy trying to save Zhi Qiu?"
Gu Qingyan wanted to move closer, but Wei Qiao stepped forward and blocked his way, her face cold and silent, but the warning was very clear.
Gu Qingyan frowned, trying to push Wei Qiao away.
"If you dare to go over there and delay President Rong's business again, I'll have your legs broken immediately," Wei Qiao said coldly, then bowed slightly to Gu's parents. "I'm really sorry, I had no choice, I hope you can understand."
Gu Suian nodded without saying anything.
"A good beating is good, so he won't forget," Mu Ziqi said coldly from behind. "I don't have such an unreasonable son!"

On the beach, under the blazing sun, a short-haired girl in a light blue dress took off her sunglasses and looked around. Her eyes were wary and cautious, checking to see if any suspicious people were nearby.
After confirming there were no suspicious individuals, the girl took out a brand-new phone from her bag, inserted a new SIM card, and then quickly walked into a boat, her steps light and firm, seemingly in a good mood.
Entering the innermost room of the cabin, the girl kicked Shen Zhi Qiu, who was handcuffed to the bed. Shen Zhi Qiu raised her head upon hearing the sound. Xiao Wanqing casually ripped off her black blindfold and looked at her with a smile: "Alright, get up and eat something, don't starve yourself to death."
Xiao Wanqing casually tossed a baguette and a bottle of mineral water to Shen Zhiqiu, then removed the handcuffs from the bedside before sitting down opposite Shen Zhiqiu and quietly watching her eat.
"There's nothing else to eat, Miss Rong, please make do with this." Xiao Wanqing said with a smile, then took out a cup of hot coffee and two small cakes from the paper bag she had brought back, and slowly began to eat.
Shen Zhi Qiu glanced at Xiao Wan Qing, said nothing, and silently ate her bread. She didn't have a good appetite; the baguette was dry and brittle, and she put it down after only a few bites. She looked up at Xiao Wan Qing, a hint of disgust in her eyes.
"Don't you think my short hair looks good? Hehe, I went shopping and bought myself a chestnut-colored short wig so I wouldn't be easily recognized. I thought I might not look good with short hair, but when I looked in the mirror, well, pretty people look good no matter what, I still like it." As she spoke, Xiao Wanqing moved her face closer, her eyes full of teasing as she looked at Shen Zhi Qiu. "So? Do you think my short hair looks good?"
Shen Zhi Qiu's lips moved, but no sound came out.
Xiao Wanqing laughed, picked up her coffee, took a sip, and continued, "You know what? What I like most about you is that look in your eyes. When Gu Qingyan married you, I was really curious about what kind of person you were."
I always thought you were a pushover, someone I could bully at will. So when Gu Qingyan was so eager for me to move into your marital home after I returned to China, I didn't think anything of it, because in my mind you were just someone who accepted whatever came your way.
To fulfill my wish to hold an art exhibition, Gu Qingyan often took me with him and introduced me to the upper class in Nancheng, hoping that they could help me out.
Back then, I deliberately had the news released; many reporters were summoned by me in Gu Qingyan's name. As you know, the Gu family's position in Nancheng is unshakeable. Naturally, the media had to give me face.
As she spoke, Xiao Wanqing picked up her coffee and took another sip, then continued slowly, "I just never expected that you would choose to run away from home. It was then that I realized that there was a tough guy hidden under your delicate exterior."
Shen Zhi Qiu ignored Xiao Wan Qing's words and opened the mineral water bottle to drink.
Seeing this, Xiao Wanqing sneered, stepped forward and violently snatched the mineral water bottle from Shen Zhiqiu's hand. Then, right in front of Shen Zhiqiu, she poured the water directly at Shen Zhiqiu's feet, some of which splashed onto her trouser legs. Shen Zhiqiu pulled her feet back, but because her legs were tied, it was not very convenient. However, she still did not say anything, but calmly looked at Xiao Wanqing.
"Oh, still so calm." Xiao Wanqing smiled and leaned down, cuffing the handcuffs to the headboard again. Then she grabbed Shen Zhiqiu's chin and said sarcastically, "Shen Zhiqiu, let's see how long you can stay calm."
After saying that, Xiao Wanqing stood up, sat back down in her chair, and continued to drink her coffee elegantly. Then, she casually mentioned, "Oh dear, I forgot to tell you earlier that I've already contacted your brother and Lu Jia."
"What do you want to do?" Shen Zhi Qiu asked abruptly upon hearing this.
"Oh dear, your brother said he'd grant me any request, as long as you can return to the Rong family safely." Xiao Wanqing took a bite of the cake and said with a smile, "But, I don't want you to return safely, hehe."
However, I'll have Lu Jia come and keep you company.
"Don't hurt him!" Shen Zhi Qiu's emotions suddenly surged. "I know you hate me. If you want revenge, come at me. Don't hurt Lu Jia. He's innocent."
"Oh dear, I knew it! My decision was right. You do care about Lu Jia after all, hehe. But don't worry too much, I'll make sure you die together." Xiao Wanqing said smugly. "Shen Zhi Qiu, of course I want revenge on you, but simply killing you won't alleviate my hatred. Only by hurting the people you care about and seeing you suffer can I feel any better. The love I can't have, you, Shen Zhi Qiu, can never have either!"
