In the VIP ward of a private hospital in City B, Bai Jingyuan felt mixed emotions as he watched his wife, who had finally fallen asleep after taking a sedative.

Ever since Ning Yuechen was taken away, Shi Yu not only suffered a relapse of his old illness, but was also unable to rest and recuperate every day due to excessive emotional agitation or worry.

He talked to his daughter several times, but unexpectedly, his daughter's attitude became even more resolute than before.

There is no room for negotiation at all.

It was for this reason that Bai Jingyuan suddenly realized that since when, his daughter had become the real person in charge of the family.

Even as a father, I can't do anything about her.

He sat down in front of the bed and looked at the face of the sleeping woman. Even though there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and her skin was a little loose, her dignified and bright facial features made it easy to see how stunning and charming this woman was when she was young.

He recalled the first time he saw Shi Yushi. It was at a charity gala with many celebrities, but he noticed her at first sight.

She is confident, calm, intellectual and elegant, and exudes the radiant charm of a mature woman. But with a slight smile, she has the softness and cuteness of a little girl.

Even so, her every move and gesture, as well as her conversation, exudes an aura that makes people dare not neglect her.

Although it was the first time the two met, Bai Jingyuan could tell at a glance that this person was not an artist from the entertainment industry, but a VIP specially invited by the organizer.

Sure enough, when she took the initiative to greet him and handed over her business card, Bai Jingyuan looked at the words "Shi Yu" on it and realized that this was the female boss of the entertainment company who had already been famous.

What happened next was that he was sure of his feelings and that he wanted this person for his life, so he started a drama of robbery and plunder.

Shi Yu once asked himself whether he regretted the bad things he did when he was young, and his answer was no.

To this day, he watched his daughter use extreme methods to hurt Ning Yuechen, and witnessed with his own eyes how the mother and daughter gradually became irreconcilable enemies.

His cold, hard, and resolute heart finally softened.

But it was too late.

When Shi Yu woke up again, the sunlight outside was shining into the house through the glass window.

She stared at the ceiling with a blank expression. She could hear the sound of leaves rustling in the wind. The warm sunlight shone on her, bringing her a sense of warmth, but she felt cold all over.

Ever since Bai Yi forcibly took Ning Yuechen away and locked him up two months ago, she tried many methods and finally found out where the child might be held.

She couldn't wait to take people and force her way in to rescue them, but due to the "heavy guards", she couldn't even get through the door of the winery.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Bai Yi appeared, and walked towards him step by step with the attitude of a winner.

Shi Yu could no longer remain calm and shouted out of control: "Bai Yi, this is China. You are so lawless, aren't you afraid that I will call the police?!"

Facing her warning, Bai Yi just smiled and asked, "Then why didn't you call the police?"

Shi's tone was so intense that his whole body was shaking, his fists clenched, and he glared at his daughter angrily: "Bai Yi, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?!"

"You should say this to Ning Yuechen."

Through the iron gate, Bai Yi's eyes flashed with coldness: "Ning Yuechen colluded with Bai Yunrui and wanted to kill me, but in the end she suffered the consequences. I did not hand her over to the police station to accept the judgment of the law. You should thank me, otherwise her life would really be over!"

"you…"

At this time, he spoke in an extremely serious tone, trying to take a few deep breaths to calm his excessive emotions: "Bai Yi, you clearly know that the person who really wants to harm you is Bai Yunrui, and Yue Chen is simply being wronged."

"Everything depends on evidence. You said she was wrongly accused, but where is the evidence? Where are the witnesses and evidence? As long as you can prove that she is indeed innocent, I will release her immediately!"

Faced with her aggressiveness, Shi Yu was irritated to the point of having a heartache. It was because he had no evidence and had just figured out the whole story. Otherwise, he would not have sat there for so long and allowed Bai Yi to detain and bully Ning Yuechen.

If she could call the police, she would have done so on the first day Ning Yuechen was kidnapped. But since Bai Yi dared to kidnap someone openly on the road, it meant that she was sure that she would not dare to do so.

Once the police were called, Bai Yi would use the ample "evidence" in his hand to put Ning Yuechen in jail for life. In that case, the child's life would be truly over.

But she couldn't just watch her beloved child suffer like this.

Even in this moment of extreme anxiety, Shi Yu retained his last bit of rationality and asked, "Bai Yi, tell me, is all this a trap set by you? What exactly do you want to do? Or what kind of result do you want, tell me!"

Bai Yi still had no expression on her face. After a few seconds of confrontation, she slowly spoke: "Shi Yu, the real purpose of you instructing my father to send me abroad was not to make Ning Yuechen become the real eldest daughter of the Bai family?"

Shi Yu's body swayed slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, which was caught by Bai Yi.

She continued, "You regard me as a freak, and think that my aloof and cold personality, even if I am a little smart, will not cause any trouble in a foreign country. And my father loves you so much and listens to you in everything. In the future, the Bai family will eventually belong to Ning Yuechen."

"I don't think so!" Shi Yu retorted.

"But you did!"

Bai Yi took a step forward, his eyes fixed on Shi Yu. "Otherwise, why have the rumors about the Bai family never stopped in the circle over the years? Are those people really so powerful?"

Shi Yu's lips turned slightly pale, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she just remained silent.

Seeing her like this, Bai Yi continued, "You have planned all this out. If Ning Yuechen has that ambition, everything in the Bai family will be hers. If she just wants to be an idle daughter, then all the wealth and glory of the Bai family will also be hers."

"It's just that you didn't expect a freak like me to come back from abroad, nor did you expect that even though my father only followed you, he would still appoint me as the next heir to the company in the interests of the family."

Shi Yu was forced to take a few steps back by her barrage of questions, but was speechless.

Seeing her dejected and distracted look, Bai Yi's eyes revealed sarcasm: "Shi Yu, admit it, the day you brought Ning Yuechen to the Bai family, you had already planned her future. And I am the stumbling block on her road to glory."

"Everyone, including my father, thought I was sent abroad because I always hurt Ning Yuechen. But only you know what you are planning in your heart?!"

"I didn't!" Shi Yu retorted loudly.
