After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.

He was drying his wet hair when his cell phone on the coffee table rang.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly picked up his phone, glanced at it, and pressed the answer button.

"What is it?" The room was eerily quiet, which made his voice sound particularly cold.

The message from the other end of the phone made his expression change drastically.

"What? Where is she?"

His face was clouded with worry, and he gripped the phone tighter with tension.

"understood!"

After hanging up, he immediately dialed another number: "Book me the earliest ticket back to Jiangcheng."

After hanging up the phone, he got up, changed out of his bathrobe, put on his suit, tidied himself up, and quickly left.

He only remembered to make the call when he got outside, so he went into the elevator and said into the phone, "She's been taken away, you should know that, right? Don't you like her a lot? Her safety is in your hands!"

"Sir, if we go back at this time, how should we arrange things now?" Ye Fan asked him.

Li Siyuan adjusted his watch and cuffs, his suit flashing by, and said in a calm tone, "Let's not worry about that for now."

"So you're not going to care about Miss Xin Xin's matter either?" Ye Fan continued to ask.

Li Siyuan replied, "Focus on ensuring Xiaowei's safety. Don't worry about anything else. An Zihao will handle it himself once he calms down."

He hurriedly stepped out of the elevator, and someone next to him spoke to him in English for a few words about work. After that, they went their separate ways, and he jumped into his car.

Lu Yuchen searched for her everywhere in Jiangcheng, but he couldn't find her. She wasn't taken away by the Lu family, and he couldn't think of any other possibilities for the time being.

Shen Xuan stood in front of the three-story villa, leaning slightly forward, gazing into the distance.

The midday sun shone warmly on the area, and she had never experienced such a relaxed feeling before.

This is the Gao family's old house in Jiangcheng. Although she doesn't understand why they locked her up here, the peaceful life here has relieved a lot of her stress.

She has been here for two days and has not seen anyone except the person who delivers her food. She has not seen anyone other than the Gao family.

Obviously, no one lives in this place normally, so naturally no one knows she is there.

She stretched and walked into the bedroom, feeling a little bored.

The activity area is limited to this bedroom, which contains nothing but the bed.

The door suddenly opened, and her gaze sharpened. The person at the door said, "Miss Shen, please come out."

She didn't say much, just glanced at the man twice, and then slowly walked away.

A man was sitting in the living room downstairs. He seemed very familiar to her, and her eyes immediately turned cold. A sense of déjà vu welled up in her heart.

"You must be the eldest daughter of the Shen family? I'm sorry to have kept you here alone for two days. How have my servants treated you?"

Gao Wei sat back on the sofa with a newspaper on his lap, and looked at Shen Xuan as she got off, asking softly.

She stared at him, her eyes filled with disdain. She felt utterly contempt for his unwillingness to admit his mistakes.

She looked around and realized that it wasn't that no one lived here, but that she had no choice but to stay in this place.

I thought he looked familiar, and now I remember seeing a photo of him when he was young in Gao Jing's room, so he must be Gao Jing's father.

"We've never met before, and we have no grudge against each other. What's the meaning of locking me up here?"

She put her hands in her pockets, trying to hide her inner turmoil, but her eyes remained firm as she looked at him.

Gao Wei pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and was stunned by Shen Xuan's clear, bright yet suppressed eyes.

This woman in her twenties actually looked at him with that kind of gaze.

He looked away, his fingers gripping his glasses, and said coldly, "You might have misunderstood. I called you here just to ask about the matter between Miss Shen and the young master of the Lu family. I've been extremely busy these past few days and haven't been very enthusiastic towards you, so please don't take it to heart."

This attitude of openly doing bad things and then refusing to admit it is really unacceptable.

I don't know if I know too little about them, or if his intentions towards me are not obvious enough, but I can still stand here calmly and reason with him.

She glanced at him coldly, her hands in her pockets, her face expressionless but her tone firm: "You treat me like this, do you think I can communicate with you calmly? We've never met, yet you've imprisoned me. Isn't that a violation of my rights?"

"Miss Shen, please don't make it so serious. It was my maid who neglected you, it doesn't represent my intention. Didn't I say that I've been very busy these past two days and haven't had time to come home? Why are you so easily angered? That's not like you at all."

She gave a disdainful snort, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, her dissatisfaction with his excuse growing stronger.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "It seems we have nothing more to talk about. Now that you're back, may I leave?"

He clenched his fingers, rubbed them gently on his knees, and stared intently at her, his smile stiff and tinged with a hint of probing.

"I just said that I invited Miss Shen here simply to find out about your relationship with the young master of the Lu family. You know that the Gao family only has one precious daughter, Xiao Jing, so I naturally take her marriage very seriously. I hope you can understand the feelings of a father."

Listening to his words of protecting his own family, she felt as if a thick layer of frost had formed in her heart.

After gathering her thoughts, she continued, "About me and Lu Yuchen? Didn't Lu Shuli tell you? Instead of making me answer that myself, shouldn't you respect Xiaojing's choice more?"

He smiled indifferently: "This is an internal matter of the Gao family. Miss Shen just needs to know where she should be."

She sensed something from his words, gave a disdainful smirk, and decided not to waste any more words on him.

She has never been good at or willing to use underhanded tactics.

Even knowing that he was imprisoned here, he was powerless to fight him given his current situation.

In the end, he left the place and got into a black car. He didn't say a word the whole time.

When the car stopped outside a club, she got out and looked around with a gloomy expression.

"Miss Shen!" A person who was there to greet her extended their hand, inviting her to come in.

Shen Xuan was stunned at first, then rubbed his forehead and struggled forward.

Lu Shuli, who was talking to Gao Jing while standing in front of the door, suddenly saw her arrival, and his body tensed up, and his gaze turned to her.

When their eyes met, a strong sense of disgust and hatred flashed in her eyes, but she did not speak to him again.

Lu Shuli's expression grew increasingly serious, and her heart felt as if it were being stabbed by something, so she quickly looked away.

Shen Xuan walked past him calmly, as if she hadn't even noticed him there.

Lu Shuli kept her mouth tightly shut, her head slightly turned to one side, her mind instantly feeling like it was tangled in a tangled mess, unable to sort out what had happened.
