The CEO admires the strong? I have been able to breathe independently since I was a child

In the back seat of a Rolls-Royce speeding along the overpass.

Wang Yan looked at the video sent from an email address on his mobile phone with a serious expression.

In the video, a petite woman in a tattered dress was chained to the wall, with a steel bar piercing her right shoulder.

Blood dripped from the end of the steel bar onto the ground, turning it blood red.

The jeweled hair crown was thrown aside, crooked, with broken jewel fragments beside it.

"Uncle Gu, have you found out?"

"The foreign IP address was located in North America."

It is impossible to go abroad in such a short time.

The kidnappers are smart.

That jeweled hair crown was worth seven figures and was so luxurious that one could tell at a glance that it was worth a fortune.

Today, it has been trampled into pieces.

Not for money.

Wang Yan thought for a moment, "Is there anything unusual in California City?"

Uncle Gu replied, "Some time ago, a gambler went to the casino and lost a lot of money. My subordinates said that this guy was also dishonest. He was caught cheating by the thugs, and they beat him up and threw him out."

"What identity."

Uncle Gu was silent for a moment, "He's a prison escapee."

Another prison escapee.

Wang Yan rubbed his eyebrows, feeling extremely irritated.

Although the casinos in California City are legal, the people who go in are a mixed bunch.

In order to make money, theoretically one needs to verify one's identity before entering, but this is extremely difficult to do.

The people below want to make money and will do anything to get it.

The Wang family's businesses there are quite complex, and they've cleaned up quite a bit in recent years, but there's always some mess that can't be cleaned up unless a complete shakeup is done.

"How did the other party know Wang Qi's whereabouts?"

Wang Qi rarely leaves Shanghai and never accepts any media interviews.

Everyone only knows Wang Qi, the eldest daughter of the Wang family, but few have seen her true face.

Especially in recent years, since Wang Yan reappeared in the public eye and captured a lot of attention, few people have noticed this unfavored daughter.

"It was revealed by one of our subordinates," Uncle Gu replied. "A few days ago, the eldest lady's car was hit downstairs at the group headquarters, and it was Miss Chi who took care of it. The bodyguards checked the whereabouts of the man, and it turned out to be the same one who kidnapped the eldest lady last time."

Since it is the same person, who is this person?

The man with burned face is still in custody and there is no way he could kidnap Wang Qi again.

It was clear that the imprisoned man was a scapegoat.

Gamblers want money, not life; gangsters want life, not money.

Since it's not for money, Wang Qi's situation is very dangerous and he may die at any time and anywhere.

"Let the police station know and have them interrogate that man overnight. Make sure they get any useful information." After a pause, Wang Yan urged, "Drive faster."

"Yes, young master." The bodyguard stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, overtaking all the way, and received curses from many drivers.

"What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?" Li He was looking at the family photo. When he heard Chi Xiao calling him, he turned around and walked over.

"Something happened to Wang Qi." Chi Xiao clutched his phone tightly, his expression a little panicked. "I can't contact her now. I need to leave here immediately."

Go find her, only when you find her will you feel at ease.

Li He comforted him, "Don't worry, it will be time to cut the cake soon. Are you sure you don't want to wait any longer?"

Chi Xiao frowned, finally took a deep breath, took off the jade ring and put it in his hand.

"Sorry, I really need to leave now."

Li He's eyes changed and he suddenly became nervous.

He quickly grabbed Chi Xiao who was about to leave, and said with a stern face, "There is no conflict between leaving and returning my gift."

He pinched the jade ring and put it on her, "With me, there is no choice."

He didn't feel relieved until the jade ring was firmly against the base of her finger.

"Let's go, I'll take you away."

In fact, what he wanted to say was, if you have anything to say, please take me with you.

The banquet was filled with joy.

There was a sudden commotion outside and then the door was opened.

Wang Yan walked into the venue anxiously wearing a brown suit.

Behind him were a group of bodyguards who were fighting fiercely against the Li family's bodyguards.

Uncle Gu withdrew his hand that was pushing the door and returned to Wang Yan without saying a word.

"Sorry, I'm late due to traffic jam."

Mr. Li's expression suddenly darkened, and his aura of majesty revealed itself without anger. He immediately said, "Is this the style of the Wang family?"

The lively atmosphere at the banquet suddenly cooled down a lot.

Everyone outside knew that Mr. Li was angry.

Wang Yan didn't want to answer, his eyes quickly locked on Chi Xiao.

She was particularly beautiful today. After she put away her silly temperament, she looked like a rich lady.

But when she saw Li Hehe and the other person holding hands beside her, her eyes suddenly became terrifyingly sinister.

Especially the twisted bracelet, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Come and invite someone." He walked quickly towards Chi Xiao, pulled her and was about to leave, "I have something to tell you, come with me."

Chi Xiao didn't move, his eyes fixed on him.

"You don't have to be hostile to me," Wang Yan chuckled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "It really is something important."

"Let's talk about it here," Chi Xiao said calmly, "If you suddenly come in and take me away like this, others will misunderstand that there is something ambiguous between us."

"Will others misunderstand that there is something ambiguous between you and him?" In an instant, the darkness in his heart was aroused, and Ruyu's face became dark and terrifying.

Didn’t she receive the gift he carefully prepared?

If she received it, why would she stay here so calmly? Doesn't she hate others taking advantage of her the most?

Chi Xiao didn't speak immediately, but silently pulled his hand out and said, "Let's talk about it here."

In an instant, the worry and anxiety in his heart dissipated like fog.

See, she was so heartless to him, without any intimacy at all, and she wanted everyone to know that the distance between them was as vast as the Pacific Ocean.

"After all, I'm not important in your heart." Wang Yan squeezed her hand again and pulled her over.

Li He didn't want to cause any more trouble at the banquet, so after thinking about it, he let go of her hand.

As soon as Wang Yan came in, Mr. Li was extremely angry, but when he saw Chi Xiao's attitude, he calmed down and even drank a sip of tea leisurely.

Banquets and the like are just passing clouds, he doesn't care about them.

On the contrary, it is the generous attitude that makes people feel that the Wang family members are inappropriate and rude, not presentable, and not worth mentioning.

The spectators ate the melons quietly, wishing they had a handful of melon seeds in their hands to soothe their excited hearts.

"We're the first two to know each other, so why are you so cold and talkative with others but so indifferent to me?" Wang Yan's eyes were fierce and cold. "What's wrong with me? What the Li family has, my Wang family also has. If you like money, I can give you the entire Wang family. I only ask you... can you be nicer to me..."

As he spoke, the corners of his eyes gradually turned red, and his whole body became as fragile as gold foil that would shatter at the slightest touch.

Chi Xiao knew in his heart that he had encountered a dark and crazy person.

It doesn't matter. In these short twenty-three years, I've met countless men. For this type of man, you should coax and deceive him in a soft voice, show extreme obedience, and do it at the appropriate time, which can promote emotional communication.

If you can give some benefits, everything will return to normal in the next second.

Normally, she would only think that such a person is a contrast, very exciting, and particularly exciting! Playing with feelings must be very refreshing!

But I can’t contact Wang Qi now, so I don’t have the slightest desire to joke around.

"What do you want me to do?"

Wang Yan tightened his Adam's apple and blurted out, "Please be my wife."
