"As I just said, I'll give you a check to settle the matter of you saving my life. I'll send the butler to deliver the check to your residence later. As for the truth I need to know, you must tell me!"
Ou Zihan's chilling voice seemed to come from hell, and his handsome face was so sinister that it resembled the Grim Reaper who held the power of life and death, piercing straight to one's heart.
This instilled boundless fear in someone as knowledgeable as Gong Ru.
"How could you do this... I told you the truth..." Gong Ru's explanations were becoming increasingly weak, and her voice was trembling. However, she remained stubborn, and all that could be heard was her aggrieved sobs.
Was she really wrong? How could a man who had no interest in her believe her?
Ou Zihan completely ignored her.
Immediately afterwards, Ou Zihan called out to Mo Nan, ordering Mo Nan to drag Gong Ru into the secret room for interrogation.
Soon, Ou Zihan learned the truth. It turned out that Bai Zhi, just as he had guessed, had been forced to leave in order to save his life.
Ou Zihan didn't intend to kill Gong Ru; after all, he had saved her life. However, he had tormented Gong Ru so much that she no longer dared to have any improper thoughts about him.

However, Bai Zhi has disappeared without a trace. Now, no one knows where she is. It's as if she has vanished from the face of the earth, driving Ou Zihan to search frantically everywhere, but to no avail.
In the European-style house.
That day, Ou Zihan, Mrs. Ou, and Lele were having dinner at the table.
"Daddy, didn't you say Mommy would be back in three days? It's been seven days already, why isn't she back? Why? I want Mommy, I want Mommy, waaaah..." Lele refused to eat and cried and screamed.
"Lele, your mother is busy with work, she'll be back in a few days. Don't cry, hurry up and eat." Ou Zihan gently wiped away Lele's tears with his large hand and comforted her softly. His eyes were red and wet, and his heart was aching like it was being scratched by a cat. Where did Bai Zhi go?
He placed missing person notices all over the country, advertised in the news and newspapers, and searched for the person all over the world, but there was still no news. He was so depressed that he was about to go crazy.
"Daddy lied. He said he'd be back in three days, then he said it would be a few more days. I don't believe Daddy anymore. I don't care, I just want Mommy. Daddy, take me to find Mommy. I miss Mommy, waaaaah..." Lele cried like a baby, which made Ou Zihan and Mrs. Ou feel extremely sad.
The atmosphere in the whole house was so oppressive and uncomfortable.
"Lele, your father didn't lie to you this time. Your mother will be back soon. Come and eat." Mrs. Ou said softly as she scooped a spoonful of porridge and held it to Lele's lips.
She felt terrible too. How did things turn out like this? This place didn't feel like a home at all; it was truly torturous. She also hoped to find Bai Zhi as soon as possible. [△Net www.AiQuxs.] She scooped up a spoonful of porridge and held it to Lele's lips.
"Grandma is lying, you're all liars, I don't care, I want my mom right now... Waaah..." Lele was determined to see her mother today, rubbing her eyes with her little hands and crying sadly, which made people feel heartbroken and sad.
Ou Zihan's head was about to explode from the noise. He felt a hundred times worse off than Lele. He missed Bai Zhi so much, every single second. Xiao Zhi, where are you?
Ou Zihan had absolutely no appetite. He stood up and said, "Mom, I'm leaving Lele with you. I still have work to do."
"Han'er, how can you work if you don't eat? Don't ruin your health. Bai Zhi will come back one day, and she won't want to see you so thin and frail when she returns."
"I'm not hungry," he said curtly, then walked upstairs with obvious frustration.
He pushed open the bedroom door and sat on the sofa by the window. The walls were covered with portraits he and Bai Zhi had drawn. Looking at the various expressions Bai Zhi had drawn of him—melancholy, happy, angry… As he looked, his eyes welled up with tears. Xiao Zhi, where are you?
Just then, Lele excitedly ran in again.
"Dad, Mom's back." Lele's face, still wet with tears, broke into a big smile as he held up a cheetah plush toy.
"Your mom's back? Where is she? Hurry up and take your dad to see her." Ou Zihan's sad eyes flashed with surprise, and she immediately jumped up from the sofa and hugged Lele in her arms.
"Here it is." Lele pointed happily to the cheetah plush toy, hugged it tightly, pressed it against her face, and kissed it with great emotion.
Ou Zihan looked dejected. He was the same; how could he believe the words of a five-year-old child?
"Are you joking with Dad again? This toy is a gift from your mom. You're not allowed to play with it anymore. What if you break it?" Ou Zihan snatched the toy from Lele's hands and held it carefully in her hands.
"That's mine, Daddy, give it to me! Lele is trying to take it from him. My mom is in there, Daddy, give Mom back to me, give her back to me! I won't break her, Daddy, I promise. If I break her, you can spank me, okay? Daddy, give her back to me!"
"Okay, you can only play for a little while. Why did you say your mother was here?" A look of doubt appeared on Ou Zihan's handsome face.
"Daddy, listen." Lele said, feeling around on the little cheetah's belly for the small switch. With a click, it turned on, and then Baizhi's voice came from inside the little cheetah's body.
When Ou Zihan received this gift, she hadn't yet discovered that the toy had a voice function.
Lele and Ou Zihan listened intently, and the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
It's clear that they both missed Bai Zhi to an extreme degree; even a single sound from her could capture their attention so intently.
"Zihan, have you heard the story of Adam and Eve? There were no people in the world before. God created a man named Adam. However, God found that Adam was depressed and lonely every day. So, while Adam was sleeping, God took a rib from his body and created a woman named Eve. From then on, Adam and Eve lived happily together, and that's how we humans came to be."
"Zihan, I think you're like a cheetah—wise and devoted. So, I'm giving you this gift. I wish I could be a rib inside you, so we can be together forever. Zihan, I love you. Happy two-year anniversary! Do you like this gift?"
Upon hearing this, tears blurred Ou Zihan's vision. "Xiao Zhi, I like it. I like this gift. I love you too. I miss you so much..."
"Daddy, you should be happy to hear Mommy's voice, why are you crying?" Lele's soft little hands wiped away her father's tears.
“Daddy didn’t cry. There’s something uncomfortable in Daddy’s eyes. Daddy will definitely help you find Mommy.” Ou Zihan’s voice choked with emotion. He hugged Lele tightly and pressed his face against Lele’s little face.
