It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

The warehouse door creaked harshly, and a musty smell filled the air.

Wu Xinyan covered her mouth and nose, and stepped into the warehouse carefully with the faint light from her mobile phone.

Dust danced in the beam of light like countless tiny ghosts.

The warehouse was filled with some worn-out furniture and sundries, covered in thick dust, and the air was filled with the smell of dampness and decay.

Wu Xinyan followed the markings on the map and walked step by step into the depths of the warehouse.

She observed everything around her carefully, afraid of missing any clues.

The high heels stepped on the dusty concrete floor, making a dull echo that was particularly clear in the empty warehouse.

At the same time, a black car stopped not far from the warehouse.

Uncle Luo sat in the car, watching Wu Xinyan walk into the warehouse with a gloomy face.

"Humph, this girl is really up to something," he snorted coldly and ordered the driver beside him, "Keep an eye on her and see what she wants to do!"

Wu Xinyan had no idea that she was being followed.

She continued searching the warehouse, her eyes filled with determination and hope.

She lifted a dusty white cloth and found a pile of rusty iron underneath, but nothing special.

She then opened a few dusty boxes filled with old books and documents, but found nothing.

"Did I guess wrong?" Wu Xinyan couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Just when she was about to give up, her eyes fell on a locked iron box in the corner of the warehouse.

The box was not big, but extremely heavy, and covered with rust, as if it had experienced the baptism of a long time.

A strong premonition told her that there must be something important hidden in the box.

She began to look for the key around her, rummaging through nearby debris, but still couldn't find it.

Just then, footsteps were heard at the warehouse door.

Wu Xinyan raised her head alertly and saw several men in black walking towards her with malicious smiles on their faces.

"It seems we need to talk, Miss Wu." One of the men in black said with a hint of threat in his tone.

Wu Xinyan stared at them closely, her hands clenched involuntarily, and a layer of fine beads of sweat seeped out of her palms.

"Who are you?" Wu Xinyan forced herself to remain calm, trying not to let her voice tremble.

The man in black sneered: "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is, what are you doing here?"

"I'm just taking a look." Wu Xinyan said, stepping back calmly, but her eyes were always fixed on the iron box.

"Just a quick look?" Another man in black stepped closer. "We don't believe it. You'd better tell the truth, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, Wu Xinyan suddenly turned around and ran deep into the warehouse.

The miscellaneous items piled up in the warehouse became her best cover. She moved flexibly among them, and the man in black followed closely behind her.

"Catch her!" The leading man in black gave an order, and several people dispersed and tried to surround Wu Xinyan.

Wu Xinyan hid behind a pile of wooden boxes, her heart beating like a drum.

She knew that this was not a solution and she had to find the key to open the box as soon as possible.

She looked around, her eyes landing on a worn table.

The desk drawer was half open, and there seemed to be something inside.

She took a deep breath, and while the man in black wasn't paying attention, she quickly ran to the table and opened the drawer. Inside were some miscellaneous tools and a rusty key.

key!

Wu Xinyan was delighted, grabbed the key and ran towards the iron box. The man in black noticed her intention and immediately chased after her.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Wu Xinyan ran to the iron box and inserted the key into the lock. The key and the lock fit perfectly. She twisted it hard, and with a click, the lock opened.

Just as she was about to open the box, a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder.

"I advise you not to move." Uncle Luo's cold voice sounded in her ears.

Wu Xinyan's shoulders stiffened and the key almost slipped from her hand.

She slowly turned around and met Uncle Luo's sinister gaze.

Fear washed over her, but she forced herself to remain calm.

Just then, a weak cough was heard at the warehouse door.

Luo Yichen walked in with a pale face and a staggering figure, followed by Lawyer Gao with a worried look on his face and Notary Liu with an expressionless face.

"Xinyan!" When he saw Wu Xinyan being clamped by Uncle Luo, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Luo Yichen appear, Wu Xinyan felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes reddened slightly. "Yichen, why are you here? Your body..."

"I'm fine." Luo Yichen endured the discomfort and walked to her side. He looked at Fourth Uncle Luo with cold eyes and said, "Let her go."

Fourth Uncle Luo sneered: "Yi Chen, you are still so naive. How long do you think you can protect her?"

Luo Yichen ignored his ridicule, but just held Wu Xinyan's hand tightly, giving her silent comfort.

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and turned to look at the iron box.

Taking advantage of the moment when Fourth Uncle Luo was distracted, she quickly opened the box.

The box indeed contained some documents, but many of them were yellowed and damaged due to their age, and some were even blurred and difficult to recognize.

Wu Xinyan's heart sank, but she did not give up. She quickly searched, hoping to find some useful clues.

Luo Yichen stood guard beside her, looking around vigilantly.

Lawyer Gao and Notary Liu stood aside and watched what happened.

The warehouse was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the air seemed to be frozen.

At the same time, the men sent by Uncle Luo returned to his villa and reported the situation of the warehouse to him.

After hearing this, Fourth Uncle Luo's face darkened and he stood up suddenly.

"You piece of crap! You can't even keep an eye on a woman!" He roared, "Prepare the car! Go to the warehouse!"

Wu Xinyan took out a relatively complete contract from a pile of documents. She carefully read the terms on it. Suddenly, her eyes fixed on a line of words and her pupils suddenly contracted.

"Yichen, look at this..." She pointed at the clauses in the contract, her voice trembling slightly. Luo Yichen took a closer look and his expression instantly became solemn.

At this moment, the door of the warehouse was suddenly pushed open, and Uncle Luo walked in aggressively with several men in black.

He saw Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen checking the documents in the box and immediately became furious.

"How dare you privately..."
