"What do you think? You haven't been home for so long, and I can't get through to you on the phone, so I can only wait for you at home."

Hearing the man's words as if he was angry, the girl's eyes dodged for a moment.

Fortunately, the lights in the living room were not on, so the man did not see Shen Qingtang's expression.

"Why don't you speak?" the man said as he walked to the switch in the living room and turned on the light.

What I saw was the girl holding a black nightgown in her hand, standing there with a complicated expression and not saying a word.

"My dear wife, stop being in a daze and go to bed."

"Hubby, I...don't you want to ask me where I went?"

Hearing the girl's question, the man walked up to Shen Qingtang and looked her in the eye. "Do you want to tell me? If this isn't from your heart, then I'd rather not know."

Hearing the man say this, the girl was also angry.

"I haven't said anything yet! Why are you so arbitrary? Okay, I'm sleepy! I'm going to sleep!"

After saying that, the girl turned around and went upstairs, no longer paying attention to the man. The day passed quietly.

The next day, both of them walked out of the room with their own thoughts.

At the dining table, the girl said in a clear voice, "Husband, why did you say that yesterday? Were you doubting me?"

The man looked at the girl with a slightly disappointed look.

He simply put down his chopsticks and said, "Since you ask, let me tell you why you didn't answer the phone yesterday? Don't you know I'm worried about you?"

Shen Qingtang was speechless after hearing Li Hanting's question. She knew that Li Hanting cared about her and was worried about her.

But at the same time, she also understood that there were some things she couldn't let him know for the time being. She didn't want him to worry about her, and she didn't want him to be involved in possible danger.

"It's nothing, Han Ting." Shen Qingtang's voice was filled with apology, and her eyes tried to convey her sincerity. "It's just that there are some things I need to handle personally, and I don't want you to worry."

Li Hanting's eyes were fixed on Shen Qingtang's face. He could sense the reservation in her words, but his intuition told him that things might not be as simple as Shen Qingtang said.

However, he also knew Shen Qingtang's personality, and she would rarely change her mind once she made a decision.

"Qingtang, I know you can trust me." Li Hanting's voice was low and firm. He reached out and gently stroked Shen Qingtang's hair. "No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

"I know, but you have your own things to do. I can't always ask you for everything, right?"

Having said that, the girl glanced at the time.

Said: "I have something to do today, and you also have to go to work."

"I'm leaving."

The man watched the girl run out the door.

I actually feel a little depressed.

Because she knew he was hiding something.

But the man also knew that with Shen Qingtang's personality, if he didn't want to say it, she wouldn't say it no matter what he wanted.

Faced with this situation, the man decided to wait for an opportunity to have a good talk with Shen Qingtang.

turn

After separating from the man, Shen Qingtang went to the alley again to look for Ling Xueluo.

But this time it was not as smooth as last time. Not only that, Shen Qingtang also found many people dressed as bodyguards in the alley.

Suddenly, alarm bells rang in my heart, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The bodyguards were also surprised when they saw the girl.

The next second—

The bodyguards took advantage of the girl's inattention.

Use powder to make him pass out.

At this time, another bodyguard said: "Haha, our plan was successful."

"Don't be too proud too soon. You know our master's temper. Be careful or he'll turn you into a eunuch!"

"Tiezhu, what's wrong with you?" A colleague noticed Zhao Tiezhu's abnormality and asked curiously.

Zhao Tiezhu shook his head, not wanting to show any uneasiness in front of his colleagues. "Nothing, I just think we should be more careful. The Young Master's safety cannot be compromised."

"You're right." Colleagues nodded one after another. They all knew that although Ouyang Shaoqing was young, he was decisive and ruthless. Once he was angered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Zhao Tiezhu knew in his heart that as Ouyang Shaoqing's personal bodyguard, he had to remain vigilant at all times to ensure the young master's safety.

He knew very well that once Ouyang Shaoqing's anger erupted, it would not only implicate himself but also bring trouble to the entire family.

"Okay, everyone cheer up," Zhao Tiezhu said loudly, trying to divert everyone's attention from the previous topic.

"What should we do with this girl? Should we take her away? Or..."

"Take her away. Perhaps our young master will find her useful."

" Um."

" good."

Shen Qingtang felt dizzy, and her consciousness gradually regained consciousness. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was an unfamiliar face.

He was a charming man with features that were almost too delicate, and a pair of narrow eyes that flashed with a cunning light.

She tried to move, but found that her hands and feet were tied and she could not move freely.

Shen Qingtang was startled. She quickly looked around and found herself in an unfamiliar environment. The room was luxuriously decorated but exuded a gloomy atmosphere.

"You're finally awake." The charming man's voice was low and magnetic, but with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm.

Shen Qingtang stared at him warily, her heart beating faster, but she forced herself to remain calm. "Who are you? Why are you tying me up?"

The charming man chuckled, he slowly approached Shen Qingtang, squatted down, and looked at her at eye level.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you are on my territory now."

Shen Qingtang tried to remain calm. She knew that in this situation, panic would only put her in a more disadvantageous position. "What do you want?"

"What do you want?" The man repeated Shen Qingtang's words, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. "I want to let certain people know that they shouldn't ignore my existence."

Shen Qingtang's heart tightened. She realized that this might be related to the Li family. Perhaps this man was sent by a hostile force. She had to find a way to escape as soon as possible and return to Li Hanting's side.

"You tied me up and brought me here, didn't you, just to tell me this?" Shen Qingtang tried to keep her voice calm as she tried to find clues from the man's words.

The charming man stood up, seeming surprised by Shen Qingtang's calmness. "You're smart, Shen Qingtang. But smart people can sometimes make stupid choices."

He turned and walked to the other end of the room, leaving Shen Qingtang alone to think of a way to escape. She knew that she had to stay awake and take advantage of every possible opportunity to escape from here.

Shen Qingtang began to carefully observe her surroundings, looking for tools to untie the restraints. Although her heart was filled with anxiety, she knew that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would not give up.

Meanwhile, at the Li family's side, Li Hanting noticed that Shen Qingtang hadn't returned yet, and he began to feel uneasy. He immediately contacted all available resources and began to search for Shen Qingtang's whereabouts.

The fate of Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting is about to face an unknown test...
