The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

So how did she get out that day?

Cheng Qing took a deep breath and was a little confused.

The electronic lock ran out of power and the cell phone was turned off, so people outside couldn't hear her cries for help, causing her to be trapped for two hours. If no one rescued her, she would never have been able to get out!

And Zhou Hui, could a man really love a woman to this extent, hiding in the dark all the time just to see her?

No, he still didn't believe that Zhou Hui was just a pure man. He must have other purposes!

"Hello, are you trapped in there?"

Just when Cheng Qing was puzzled, a mechanical voice suddenly came from above his head.

He immediately jumped up and looked around, but didn't find any surveillance equipment.

"who?"

"I am a smart lock manager and will automatically identify the trapped householder."

The mechanical voice came again, instantly clearing up the doubts in Cheng Qing's mind.

That is to say, after the electronic lock of the warehouse is locked from the outside, the intelligent system can capture the human breathing inside the warehouse to determine whether there are people trapped.

"What if I'm here voluntarily?"

Cheng Qing asked.

The voice of the smart lock came again, "Then don't disturb the owner's rest."

"Hey, hey, hey! I didn't volunteer, I didn't!"

Afraid that the intelligent system would misunderstand him, Cheng Qing quickly called for help.

Dressed in elite attire, he now looked as disheveled as an abandoned rag doll.

When will he ever face such an embarrassing day?

"Okay, this will activate rescue mode for the master."

With a ding sound, the security glass and rolling door opened to a gap less than 30 centimeters high.

So, is this to let him crawl out?

Cheng Qing took a deep breath in anger and tried hard to suppress his anger so as not to explode.

"thank you."

He gritted his teeth and crawled out with great effort. Fortunately, the underground parking lot was empty at this time of night. Otherwise, if his miserable appearance got out, it would be no different from him calling for help!

I glanced at my watch; it had been a full fifteen minutes.

Compared with Song Nian's two hours, it was much faster.

"How come my rescue time is so fast?"

Cheng Qing asked while standing outside the rolling door. It was obvious that the electronic system did not recognize his voice.

Did he have to crawl in and do it all over again?

Forget it, maybe it was because Song Nian complained after being trapped last time that the system was upgraded and he was captured accurately.

Cheng Qing comforted himself in this way. With the unpleasant memory of tonight, how could he have the mood to stay there any longer?

Cheng Qing dusted himself off and returned to the car clutching his briefcase tightly.

The cash was indeed lost, and the police arrived in time. He made a brief statement and returned to his residence at exactly three o'clock in the morning.

After Song Nian in the loft completed an anonymous transfer, before blacklisting the other party's account, he sent a four-word message: "Thank you for your hard work."

Open the address book again and see the last message from the secretary.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Zhou from the Zhou Group wants you to meet at the Zhou family's house tomorrow. Would you mind not missing the date and asking the driver to pick you up in advance?"

After thinking about it, Song Nian replied, "No need."

I just don’t know why Zhou’s father wants to talk to her?

The next day, after Song Nian finished all the classes in the morning, he took a leave of absence from the elective class in the afternoon and drove to Zhou's house.

It seemed that everyone in the Zhou family had been informed in advance. From the servants to the housekeeper, everyone was polite when they saw her.

It seemed that she was not affected by the turmoil a few days ago. When Zhou's father saw her, he changed his previous aloofness and even became very friendly.

"Xiao Nian, speaking of which, our Zhou family's current situation is not without its connection to the Bai family of Haicheng."

Hearing Father Zhou say this, Song Nian just smiled. Sitting on the sofa, she thanked the servant for the tea he brought over and said to Father Zhou with a faint smile, "Really? I have heard some of it before, but I don't know the details very clearly. Father Zhou and my mother are very familiar with each other, right?"

"It is."

Father Zhou said, "However, since your mother didn't tell you all this, she probably didn't want you to suffer in the future. I can't be the bad guy."

Song Nian expressed his understanding and did not ask any further questions. He calmly drank a sip of tea and looked at Zhou's father. "I wonder what Uncle Zhou wants to talk to me about today?"

Father Zhou was stunned, obviously not expecting her to be so straightforward.

He extended his hand to the butler and asked in a hissing voice, "Is the brat back?"

The housekeeper shook his head and was about to say something when Zhou Hui's voice came from outside the door, "Dad, what's the matter with you calling me back so urgently?"

The sloppy Zhou Hui was still wearing the same extravagant outfit, but his face was full of fatigue, obviously he had just come back from staying up late.

I haven't seen Zhou Hui at school these days, but rumors about him are flying everywhere.

I heard he'd hooked up with the beauty from the dance department a while ago, and the two of them were always so sweet together. And a week ago, I heard he was getting close to the student union president, and it seems he even gave her a bouquet of 999 blue roses. Song Nian hadn't expected to see Zhou Hui at his house; after all, he was quite busy.

The moment Zhou Hui saw Song Nian, he was also stunned.

"Why are you here?"

Looking at Zhou's father again, Zhou Hui thought her father was going to embarrass her, and walked over with a dark face, "What are you going to do now?"

How could a son question his father like this?

Father Zhou's face turned pale. "Asshole! This is how you treat talking."

"I told you, I treated her..."

"Let's eat. Miss Song must be hungry after being here for a while. We can talk in the study tonight!"

Zhou's father interrupted Zhou Hui before he finished speaking, and then he politely and smilingly led Song Nian to the restaurant, as if the quarrel between father and son had never happened.

But what Song Nian found strange was the seating arrangement made by Zhou's father.

Song Nian was led to the seat on the left side of Zhou's father. Normally, Zhou Hui should sit with his father, but Zhou's father repeatedly emphasized that he should sit next to her.

"dad?"

Even Zhou Hui felt that something was wrong.

Father Zhou insisted, "Xiao Nian is your classmate. Please treat her well, but please don't bring shame to our Zhou family."

Uh……

Zhou Hui and Song Nian were both stunned.

We are all adults, do we need special care when eating?

"Father Zhou, actually..."

"Xiao Nian, please don't be polite to your uncle. Since you are a guest at home, just treat this place as your own home."

Zhou's father interrupted Song Nian, and when the servants brought all the dishes, Zhou's father seemed to kick Zhou Hui under the table.

"Stinky boy, pick up some food for Xiao Nian."

"?"

Doesn’t father dislike Song Nian? Why is something so wrong?

Song Nian also felt strange. She was about to reject Zhou's father's enthusiasm when she heard Zhou's father ask, "Xiao Nian, what do you think of our Zhou family?"

"..."

The hand holding the chopsticks paused, and Song Nian looked up in confusion, "What do you mean by this, uncle?"

"What I mean is, do you think my Zhou Hui is suitable to be your boyfriend?"

Snapped.

Zhou Hui's chopsticks fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the bowl in front of him fell to the ground.

Zhou Hui was panicking and about to stand up to question him when his father spoke again, "The Song family's affairs have nothing to do with you. Our Zhou family never considers a daughter-in-law's background when choosing a daughter-in-law. My unfilial son likes you. If you think he's good too, I'd like to arrange a marriage between the Zhou and Song families. The engagement can be tomorrow."
