My ex-husband got engaged, I was reborn, and the young master of Beijing's elite circle went cr

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Yan's voice sounded cold.

He said, "Yes, where are you? I need to see you..."

Tu Qing glanced at the surging sea and said, "Brother Yan, I'm playing with my friends at the beach. I won't be back in Beijing until tomorrow morning. Can I come see you tomorrow morning?"

Cheng Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Soon, Cheng Yan hung up Tu Qing's call. After hanging up, he held his breath and carefully recalled everything.

At this point, twenty-four hours had passed since Jian He disappeared.

Cheng Yan mobilized all the resources at his disposal, turning the capital upside down, but still found no trace of Jian He.

It was as if Jian He had simply vanished into thin air.

Looking at Cheng Yan's serious expression, Gao An asked with concern, "President Cheng, do you suspect that Tu Qing took Miss Jian away?"

Cheng Yan took a deep drag on the cigarette he was holding and replied, "If I can't find Jian He for a day, I'll start to doubt everyone."

"But, Mr. Cheng, we've searched the entire capital, and we still haven't heard from Miss Jian. Do you think she might not be in the capital?"

Gao An's words reminded Cheng Yan.

Just now, when he called Tu Qing, he could clearly hear the sound of waves coming from Tu Qing's end.

Tu Qing said she was at the beach...

But the sound of the waves was so intense, how could it possibly be at the beach?

Could it be that Jian He was really kidnapped by Tu Qing?

Gao An said that their people had searched the entire capital, but still had no news of Jian He. What if Jian He wasn't even in the capital?

Cheng Yan suddenly thought of that isolated island, about a hundred kilometers away from the docks on the outskirts of Beijing.

If Jian He was kidnapped to that isolated island, what use would their search for her in the capital be?

Cheng Yan suddenly came to her senses.

He turned to Gao An and ordered, "Gao An, quickly arrange a boat. We're going to sea to visit this isolated island."

"Mr. Cheng, are we going to a deserted island now? Are you worried that Miss Jian has been kidnapped to that island?" Gao An asked, looking puzzled.

Cheng Yan replied, "Yes, hurry up."

Soon, Cheng Yan and Gao An set off quickly.

At this moment, Tu Qing, who had been stabbed by Jian He, was disembarking at a dock in the suburbs of Beijing. Because the small boat she was on only had a simple medical kit, Tu Qing bandaged her wound to stop the bleeding while on the boat.

Jian He slit her neck with the knife, leaving a shallow wound on her snow-white neck.

To prevent the wound from getting infected, Tu Qing wrapped it with gauze.

She thought that once she reached the shore, she could go directly to a hospital or clinic for treatment. Unexpectedly, as soon as her small boat docked, she ran into Cheng Yan.

Upon seeing Cheng Yan, Tu Qing's heart skipped a beat.

What's Cheng Yan doing here?

Did he discover some clue?

Tu Qing's brain raced, trying to come up with all sorts of reasons to deal with Cheng Yan's impending interrogation.

The moment Cheng Yan saw Tu Qing, he knew his guess was correct. He gave Gao An a look, signaling him to be careful.

"Tu Qing, what are you doing here?"

Cheng Yan spoke up and asked Tu Qing directly.

Tu Qing concealed her panic and said, "Brother Yan, didn't I just tell you? I was playing at the beach with some friends."

"Where are your friends?" Cheng Yan looked around but couldn't see anyone else with Tu Qing.

Tu Qing said with a smile, "Brother Yan, look at what time it is now? All my friends have gone home."

"Oh? Then why don't you go back?" Cheng Yan pressed on relentlessly.

Tu Qing's face darkened, and she instantly looked aggrieved.

She said, "Brother Yan, I do want to go back, but after leaving you, will I still have a home?"

Tu Qing's words were so poignant that Cheng Yan felt indebted to her.

Cheng Yan was not affected by her tone.

Instead, he asked, "Didn't I have the housekeeper buy you a house?"

Tu Qing said again, "Brother Ayan, that's just a house, a place where I sleep, not my home."

"In my heart, only where you are is my home. Everyone has gone home, and I have nowhere to go, so I went out to sea to get some fresh air. Brother Yan, why are you at the dock so late?"

Tu Qing took the initiative, stirring up Cheng Yan's sense of guilt, and then pretended not to know anything and spoke to Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan was eager to get to the isolated island and didn't want to get entangled with Tu Qing any further.

He said, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out to get some fresh air..."

"Oh, okay then, I'll go back and rest first, I won't bother you while you're enjoying the breeze." Tu Qing said, turning around to leave.

Her wounds had only been simply bandaged and the bleeding had not been completely stopped. She was leaving now in a hurry to find a hospital to treat her wounds.

Her unusual behavior alerted Gao An.

Based on Gao An's understanding of Tu Qing, every time Tu Qing saw Cheng Yan, she would try to stick close to him. But today, when Cheng Yan said he couldn't sleep and wanted to go for a walk in the sea breeze, Tu Qing didn't react at all.

Given the past, shouldn't she have gone to enjoy the sea breeze with Cheng Yan?

Was she in such a hurry to leave because she was hiding something?

Because of his suspicions, Gao An inevitably paid more attention to Tu Qing. Just then, a bright headlight shone on Tu Qing.

When Gao An looked up, he saw the gauze wrapped around Tu Qing's neck.

Gao An hurriedly reminded Cheng Yan, "President Cheng, Tu Qing has a bandage wrapped around her neck, it looks like she was just injured..."

"Could it be that she just got into a fight with Miss Jian?"

Gao An's words reminded Cheng Yan. When Cheng Yan turned around, Tu Qing had just gotten into her car and was about to leave.

Cheng Yan quickly stepped forward and blocked Tu Qing's car.

Through the car window, he coldly said to Tu Qing, "Get out of the car..."

Tu Qing hesitated for a moment, but did not move her body. The pain in her back made her sweat profusely.

She forced a smile and asked, "Brother Yan, why are you making me get out of the car?"

"I've been standing in the sea breeze all day, it's quite cold, and I'm really sleepy. I want to go back to sleep."

This was the first time Tu Qing had rejected him, which deepened Cheng Yan's suspicions about her.

Cheng Yan reached out and pulled open her car door. He grabbed Tu Qing's uninjured arm and dragged her out of the car.

Cheng Yan's roughness made Tu Qing's already painful wounds even more painful.

"Brother Yan, I'm really tired, I just want to go back to sleep, why are you pulling me?"

The close contact between the two allowed Cheng Yan to clearly see the wound on Tu Qing's neck. He anxiously questioned Tu Qing, "Where is Jian He? What did you do to Jian He?"
