A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

"Che"

"help me!"

Chi Ruiche, who was in a coma, suddenly felt his heart pounding. He was filled with unprecedented fear and panic, and a sharp pain made his fingers involuntarily grip the sheets. Then he regained consciousness and suddenly opened his eyes.

"You're awake." The nurse looked at Chi Ruiche with surprise, her hand pausing as she changed the IV drip. This man was truly handsome, with a striking face, well-defined features, and a high nose bridge. Even in his weakened state after waking up, he exuded an air of nobility.

"You need to rest now. This is the last bottle. You can eat something after the IV is finished," the nurse instructed incessantly.

"What time is it?" Chi Ruiche remembered the phone he was holding, but it was gone now. "Have you seen my phone?"

"Here, when you were brought in, your hand was clenched so tightly that it took us a lot of effort to get it out." The young nurse was just starting out and was inevitably a bit talkative. "Is this phone very expensive? The screen is cracked."

Chi Ruiche ignored it. At four o'clock in the afternoon, there was only one missed call. "How is the person who came with me?"

"The two drivers were the most seriously injured, and the passengers in the back seat suffered internal injuries from the compression and need to rest and recuperate."

Upon hearing the news after sobering up, He Cheng rushed to the hospital immediately, saying, "President Chi."

"Arrange a car for me, I need to go back to Xijing," Chi Ruiche said, reaching to remove the IV from his hand.

The nurse stopped him, saying, "The doctor said you need to rest; you can't pull it out."

He Cheng hesitated as he dialed the number. "President Chi, you should listen to the doctor."

"Go to the bidding meeting as usual tomorrow, don't worry about anything else." Ignoring the nurse's objections, Chi Ruiche pulled out the needle, not caring at all as blood flowed from the puncture site.

The nurse quickly pressed the alcohol swab against the affected area, saying, "Why are you so stubborn?"

"The car will be downstairs in five minutes." He Cheng knew Chi Ruiche's temper, so he didn't say anything more and did as instructed.

The car pulled up downstairs, and they practically ran away. His tattered shirt was covered in grime, and his disheveled hair made He Cheng realize for the first time that Chi Ruiche looked rather disheveled.

Jiang Yang and his group in Xijing have already sent out many people to search for Jiang Yi. Based on their guesses, Panda is Jiang Yi. They also found the first car immediately, but the kidnappers' plan was obviously meticulous.

The first car was found at the back gate of the old residential area, which coincidentally had no surveillance cameras.

"It's 3:30 pm now. Xi'an is such a big city, without any clues it's like looking for a needle in a haystack." Abu and the others are now gathered at Jiang Yang's villa.

Jiang Yang looked worried, his eyebrows furrowed, yet he was unable to find a solution.

"If it were a kidnapping, we would have received a call or message from the kidnappers demanding a ransom."

Lu Haotian sat silently, his mind heavy with worry. "If it weren't for the kidnapping, Xiao Si would be in a very dangerous situation right now."

"Then I'll inform the boss." Abu became increasingly panicked as he listened to their analysis. He hadn't taken good care of Jiang Yi, and had even lost her right under his nose. Did he still deserve to be called an older brother?

"Xiao Che's trip to Jiade is crucial. We must find Xiao Yi before he returns."

Jiang Yi leaned weakly against a hard surface. She had just stepped out of the restroom stall when her mouth and nose were suddenly covered. After struggling for a few moments, she quickly lost her strength. When she woke up again, she was in this dilapidated place.

An abandoned warehouse, filled with the smells of mold, rust, and corrosion. The roof leaks air, the paint is peeling off the walls, and it looks rather dilapidated.

Several men had set up a table and were eating and chatting, completely unaware of Jiang Yi, who had already woken up.

"This girl looks like she's rich. Why don't we kidnap her and blackmail her family to send money? We can make a killing." The bald man tore off a piece of chicken leg and chewed it heartily, his eyes gleaming with cunning.

"The employer said to wait for her to interrogate me personally, so we dare not act rashly." The younger one, wearing a floral shirt, hesitated for a moment.

Jiang Yi pretended to close her hands, but listened to their conversation. Her phone had also been taken from her pocket. She needed to calm down and buy them enough time to rescue her.
