"It has nothing to do with you..."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo immediately saw through the ruse and tentatively asked, "Does that have anything to do with me?"
Feeling a little uncomfortable under her gaze, Leon sighed and stopped hiding it: "It seems like someone is looking for you outside."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's first thought was Darius.
After all, only Darius's men would use such ruthless methods to arrest people.
If it were Wen Huaiyan, he would probably come looking for her as soon as he saw her bracelet.
Thinking of this, Li Ruo felt a sense of fear and guilt, and felt even more that she could no longer drag Leon down like this: "I'm sorry, Leon. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered so much. You've already helped me enough. I can't let you get hurt anymore."
What do you want to do?
Sensing something amiss in her words, Leon was startled. Before he could stop her, Li Ruo suddenly stood up.
Unfortunately, before she could make a move, everything suddenly went black, and she fainted again.
...
Meanwhile, outside the slums.
Qin Lie rushed to Wen Huaiyan: "Mr. Wen, there might be a clue about Miss Li."
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan was taken aback, a hint of anticipation appearing on his face: "What clue?"
Qin Lie took a breath and explained in a low voice, "When my sister was looking for someone on the street today, she accidentally bumped into a young man and saw that he was holding something that looked a lot like Miss Li's personal belongings."
Speaking of which, he couldn't help but mutter a rebuke to Sally for her audacity, daring to secretly go to the slums behind his back. What if something happened?
However, Wen Huaiyan did not notice his anger; his mind was entirely focused on the new message: "What personal item? Show it to me quickly."
"A bracelet."
As Qin Lie spoke, he handed the item to Wen Huaiyan.
Wen Huaiyan took it and glanced at it, a ripple suddenly appearing in his dark eyes: "That's right, it's hers."
They've been together for so long, he wouldn't mistake it.
Immediately afterward, he eagerly asked, "Where is that boy? I need to go find him and ask him."
Qin Lie had already guessed that he would ask this question, and quickly said, "President Wen, don't worry. I have already deliberately let that boy go and sent people to follow him. I believe we will soon find out Miss Li's whereabouts."
His voice was deep, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of comfort in it.
But Wen Huaiyan couldn't put his mind at all. Li Ruo had been missing for so long, and he didn't know how much suffering she had endured.
"you……"
Seeing his worry, Qin Lie opened his mouth, but before he could finish a sentence, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
"Chief, I followed the boy into the slums as you instructed, and found a woman at his residence, but I couldn't see her face clearly."
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan couldn't help but tense up: "A woman? It's very likely Li Ruo!"
With that, he strode towards the door.
Upon seeing this, Qin Lie was startled and whispered into his phone, "Keep an eye on them and report back if anything happens."
The two moved quickly and arrived at the outside of the slum in less than half an hour.
As soon as he got out of the car, Wen Huaiyan couldn't wait to head towards the entrance.
"Halt! Who are you?"
Qin Lie and Darius had been constantly at odds over business dealings, and small skirmishes often broke out between them.
Therefore, Qin Lie's subordinates immediately recognized the person blocking their way and hurriedly reported in a low voice: "Boss, Mr. Wen, they are Darius's men."
Upon hearing the name Darius, Wen Huaiyan's gaze deepened.
He had some doubts before, but now he was even more certain that Li Ruo was here.
Upon realizing that Darius was indeed behind Li Ruo's disappearance, Wen Huaiyan's face darkened, and his tone was filled with a strong threat: "Get out of my way!"
Darius's men didn't recognize Wen Huaiyan at all, but they found Qin Lie, who was standing to the side, extremely familiar.
Recognizing the group of people in front of him, he snorted coldly and said provocatively, "Oh, so this is who we are. It's the leader of the Mafia. What brings you here with so many men? Do you want to break the agreement we signed with our boss and trespass on our territory?"
The two forces have been constantly at odds, and a fierce battle a year ago resulted in countless deaths and injuries.
Therefore, Qin Lie took the initiative to propose signing a treaty with Darius, whereby both sides would compromise and their subordinates would not be allowed to provoke each other on their territories.
"Open your dog eyes and take a good look. This is President Wen of the Wen Group, not one of my subordinates. If you're telling the truth, then obediently get out of our way and let us in, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Mr. Wen?"
Upon hearing this, Darius's subordinates were quite surprised and asked incredulously, "You...you are that Wen Huaiyan?"
What is he here for?
Could it be that they're looking for that missing woman?
Thinking of this, he quickly and secretly gave a hand signal to his subordinates behind him.
Seeing this, his subordinates quickly understood and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, hurriedly ran out to relay the message to Darius.
