For the next two days, Chi Jingyu did not come to the villa again.
Tang Mama's words were laced with schadenfreude, and her tone was full of mockery for her loss of favor.
Shen Tangning had some guesses, but he was probably held up by Shen Ci and unable to come.
With Chi Jingyu not coming, she was happy to be free and began to meticulously plan her escape. If her suspicions were true, she had to go and stop him as soon as possible...
...
As it turns out, Shen Tangning's guess was correct.
Chi Jingyu was indeed being targeted by Shen Ci. The other party seemed to be haunting him, blocking his way off duty. Because he hadn't slept all night, there were bloodshot eyes, and his expression looked somewhat gloomy: "I'll ask you one more time, where exactly is my sister?"
At first, Chi Jingyu patiently dealt with him, but the other party's endless harassment really ruined his mood, and he turned cold: "Where is your sister? Why are you asking me?"
Shen Ci grabbed his collar, glaring at him through gritted teeth: "Chi Jingyu, stop playing dumb with me! Did you kidnap her?"
Upon learning of Shen Tangning's disappearance, Shen Ci almost turned the entire capital of Yanjing upside down in his search, but for the sake of Shen Tangning's reputation, he dared not make a big fuss about it.
Not to mention, there's also the Third Prince, who's eyeing us covetously. If news of my sister's disappearance gets out and he gets there first, that would be worse than death.
His first reaction was to suspect Chi Jingyu, but this man was like a fox, and he couldn't catch him by the tail. Shen Ci even sent people to follow Chi Jingyu, but still came up empty-handed.
Chi Jingyu coldly curled her lips, looking straight at him: "Why don't you suspect the Third Prince? Maybe your sister is with him."
Shen Ci's heart tightened suddenly. This was the guess he least wanted to admit. If his elder sister really fell into the hands of the Third Prince, then this matter would be much more troublesome.
But he still wouldn't let Chi Jingyu go, and before releasing him, he gritted his teeth and warned, word by word, "You better not give me any leverage over you!"
Watching Shen Ci storm off, Chi Jingyu tugged at his clothes, feeling a bit annoyed. The boy had been following him too closely, and he hadn't seen Shen Tangning for two days.
Looks like I'll have to cause him some trouble.
——
The incident occurred late at night. Shen Tangning was already fast asleep, but she was a light sleeper, so when she noticed someone touching her face, she woke up immediately.
She was the first to smell a strong odor of alcohol, and while kicking him warily, she retreated to a safe distance.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared outside the window, illuminating Chi Jingyu's face. His eyes were deep and dark, with a hint of barely perceptible heat.
Shen Tangning was still worried. He was clearly drunk, and it was undoubtedly quite dangerous for a man and a woman to be alone in a room late at night.
And she remembered that she had locked the door before going to bed, so how did he get in...?
Without time to think, she coldly snapped, "Chi Jingyu, wake up! Go somewhere else if you want to go crazy!"
The commotion attracted Qinglan, who hurriedly pushed open the door and entered, only to be met with a sudden shout from Chi Jingyu:
"Get out."
Qinglan froze, her legs feeling like lead. A fierce struggle flashed in her eyes, but she finally remembered who had hired her.
