The sky was overcast at six o'clock in the afternoon, with dark clouds hanging heavy overhead, making everything look gloomy.

A light purple McLaren cut through the darkness, weaving through the city's traffic.

Qiao Ruyi held the steering wheel with a cold expression.

She turned on the in-car news, trying to mask the chaotic emotions in her head.

She had been wandering aimlessly on the road for half an hour. She didn't want to go back to Yujingwan, didn't want to see Ling Che, and didn't want to listen to his so-called explanation.

She couldn't hear anything now.

A very dangerous thought even popped up in her mind - were the words Ling Che said to her true or false?

Or, does Ling Che really love her?

The next second, a bolt of thunder flashed across the sky.

Bean-sized raindrops fell to the ground with a crackling sound, hitting the ground where the traffic was endless and hitting the roofs of the cars, making a huge noise.

Beijing is dry all year round and rarely rains.

This rain, the first heavy rain in nearly three months, came unexpectedly and inexplicably.

The raindrops wet the entire city of Beijing, and also seemed to wet her heart.

The news anchor was reporting in a clear voice that Beijing would experience three days of heavy rain, with some areas experiencing extremely heavy rain, thunderstorms and strong winds.

The wipers on the windshield swung rhythmically, and Qiao Ruyi changed his route.

the other side.

The silver-gray Porsche 918 Spyder sped through the heavy rain.

When the third call went unanswered, the man's gloomy face was even darker than the sky outside the window.

Why can’t Qiao Ruyi change this old habit of not answering the phone when she’s angry?

I've said it so many times, no matter how angry you are, you have to answer the phone and make sure he can find someone.

Ling Che steered the wheel with one hand and opened the phone screen with the other, switching to a certain interface.

On the mobile phone screen, a red dot was moving slowly on Oasis Avenue, and not far ahead was a group of luxury apartments.

He put away his phone and turned towards Manheyuan.

The silver-gray sports car broke through the rain curtain and sped along the wide road.

The cell phone that was thrown aside suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone without hesitation, looked at the caller ID, and his handsome face, which had just relaxed a little, became impatient again.

"explain."

"Boss Ling, the wife is missing!"

A sudden brake sounded in the rainy night. Ling Che frowned and asked through gritted teeth, "Gone?"

The person in charge of Jingxinyuan said anxiously, "No one in Jingxinyuan has seen the lady. The surveillance shows that she secretly ran out of the sanatorium on her own!"

"A bunch of trash!"

I can't even keep an eye on anyone!

He made an urgent U-turn and headed towards Jingxin Garden.

The man on the other end of the phone was still explaining, "The nurse who took care of my wife said that she spent the whole afternoon imitating the flying of a little butterfly, and she kept saying, 'The little butterfly flew away, the little butterfly flew away...'"

"So you just let her fucking fly away!"

Ling Che's chest heaved violently, his face gloomy as he clutched the phone tightly. "If we can't find him, the entire Jingxin Garden will be shut down!"

He hung up the phone, dialed another number, and ordered, "Take a group of people to Jingxin Garden to look for him. Also notify Song Hui and send police. Tell them that even if they have to turn the entire city upside down, they must find him for me!"

On the other end of the phone, Qi Jin realized the seriousness of the matter, said "Okay, Mr. Ling" and prepared to do it.

"Wait." Ling Che finished his instructions, then remembered something and continued, "Tell Qi Shui to guard Manhe Garden on Oasis Avenue."

Qi Jin thought for a moment and asked, "Is it to protect the young lady?"

"Did lightning hit your brain?" Ling Che asked through gritted teeth, "What else?"

"Okay, Young Master Ling." Qi Jin realized that Young Master Ling was in a very bad mood at the moment and said hurriedly, "I'll do it right away."

The man threw the phone away, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Jingxin Garden.

......

It was raining heavily outside and thunder was roaring.

The man in the room was sitting on a leather chair, his eyes closed behind the gold-rimmed frame. In front of him stood a slim woman, holding a mobile phone in her hand with the hands-free mode on.

After listening to the call from the other end, Zhuang Ce slowly opened his eyes, "You mean, you didn't accept bribes, and Ling Che deliberately pinned the crime on you?"

"Boss Zhuang! I've been with you for so many years, working my way up to where I am now. Don't you know what kind of person I am? Besides, Sucheng Commerce is under your jurisdiction. Even if I had the guts to do anything, I wouldn't dare to make money on your territory!"

On the other end of the phone, Tao Jun cried out in injustice, "I don't know how I offended President Ling. I helped you with some export business a while ago, and since then I've been staying at the trading factory in Sucheng. And then, for no apparent reason, President Ling's people investigated me and accused me of taking bribes!"

"Boss Zhuang, I've made a lot of money following you over the years. Although it's not clean, it has no impact on LS Group. Why is Boss Ling targeting me and detaining me here now? My life is over. What will happen to my wife and children?"

Zhuang Ce slowly stroked his spotless suit and smiled gently.

Not clean?

You didn’t think the money was dirty when you were making it, but now you think it’s dirty?

"If Ling Che wants to mess with you, there's nothing I can do." He stood up and glanced at his phone with disdain. "I'll help you take care of your wife and children."

After he finished speaking, before the other party could thank him, Shu Hui hung up the phone.

She knew that Zhuang Ce's current expression meant that he didn't want to continue the conversation.

"What are you going to do with Tao Jun's wife and children?" she asked.

"The money they earn is not clean, how can they spend it?" Zhuang Ce sneered, "Send it abroad. It just so happens that the order there needs a group of women and children. Isn't this another list?"

He turned to look at Shu Hui, "Where are they?"

Shu Hui naturally knew who he was referring to.

"He's locked up. He's crazy and can't get anything out of me."

"Really?" Zhuang Ce walked out. "Mad men have their own crazy ways."

......

There was a loud thunder in the sky, and the woman with disheveled hair huddled in the corner of the dark room, shivering.

With a creak, the door opened, bringing in a ray of light from outside.

In the light, the woman shuddered as she looked at the person who came, muttering, "The little butterfly flew away... I want to become a little butterfly and fly away..."

The switch turned on with a "click", and the room was suddenly filled with white light.

After staying in the darkness for too long and not having time to adapt to the glaring light, the woman subconsciously buried her head between her knees.

Zhuang Ce sat down in front of her and said, "We are siblings, I really don't want to see you like this."

Hearing this, Zhuang Yuwei shrank her neck and raised her head. Suddenly, her eyes widened and she pointed at him, "Bad guy! You're a big bad guy!"

"Yes, I am a big bad guy." Zhuang Ce sat in front of her, looked at the woman curled up in the corner, and smiled calmly, "I am the big bad guy who killed your father and your husband, and drove you crazy."
