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

Upon hearing this, her gaze froze for a moment, clearly still thinking about what had just happened.

Although it was just a glimpse, she could still clearly see the driver who got out of the black Maybach.

He was wearing the same black baseball cap, and was not very tall. He was dressed in all black, giving him a calm yet youthful appearance, and looked to be around twenty years old.

However, this seemingly ordinary image triggered a memory in her mind: the experience of being in danger in the suburbs suddenly came to mind. At that time, there was also a car that intended to harm her, and the driver's attire was so similar to this person's.

Gathering her thoughts, she turned to look at where Li Siyuan was, but due to the angle, she couldn't see his expression clearly.

Recalling what had just happened between her and Lu Yuchen, she subconsciously adjusted the collar of her coat, carefully covering her neck, as if afraid of having some secret discovered.

"Thank you for your kindness," she replied to Jiang Yu, trying to keep her voice calm, "but I don't need it now. I already have plans with Xiaolu, and she'll be picking me up soon. We have some things to discuss."

Before the words were even finished, a familiar voice came from the street corner not far away. Cheng Lu's car had arrived right on time.

With a forced, seemingly relaxed but actually slightly bitter smile, Shen Xuan waved goodbye to Jiang Yu, then strode quickly to the car waiting for her by the roadside, swiftly opened the passenger door, and got in.

Watching the taillights of the car gradually recede into the distance until they disappeared from sight, Li Siyuan stood there motionless for a long time. A look of disappointment flashed across his eyes, which he could not hide. Although he was filled with resentment, he knew that he could not forcefully change any facts.

After Jiang Yu got into the car, Li Siyuan slowly came back to his senses and asked in a somewhat serious tone, "Has the matter of the huge sum of money being embezzled been investigated thoroughly?"

"Ms. Shen did not use the Shen family account, nor did she use her own account to transfer money to others, so we cannot trace the flow of funds. However, she did withdraw cash multiple times from several different banks, and each time it was a one-time withdrawal without being deposited into any bank, which makes it impossible for us to find any relevant transaction records."

The assistant gave a detailed report on the investigation results.

He frowned and asked suspiciously, "What would she do with so much cash? How could she not leave a trace? Is there some kind of secret she's hiding?"

"It is said that after withdrawing the cash, she transferred it directly to some accounts that have no connection with our group through other means, and deliberately avoided all financial institutions under our group, completing the entire operation in completely unrelated circles."

The assistant added.

Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan's heart instantly ignited with rage, his entire being filled with fury.

It turned out that during his time abroad, the other party had secretly made such a meticulous arrangement, without his knowledge.

He couldn't help but wonder how all of this had happened.

On the other side, Cheng Lu saw her good friend Xiao Xuan finally get into the car and immediately gave her a big hug, saying happily, "Xiao Xuan, my darling, you did a lot of great things in Jiangcheng while my mom took me on a trip these past few days! You really impressed me!"

This sentence sounds very familiar; it seems that Li Siyuan had made the same assessment of himself not long ago.

"Stop messing around, I'm already annoyed, and you're still bringing this up?"

She responded with a hint of helplessness, her tone carrying a subtle weariness.

Her best friend glanced at the obvious mark on Xiaoxuan's neck and asked mischievously, "Who gave you this hickey?"

His tone was full of mockery.

This question made Shen Xuan, who had been calm for a few seconds, suddenly tense up and hurriedly adjusted the rearview mirror to check her appearance.

If someone had actually gotten into another car and discovered the mark, that would have been a huge problem!

She herself was curious: since the two of them were no longer in a relationship, why was she still afraid that the other person would discover the mark on her body?

This thought lingered in her mind, leaving her somewhat confused.

"Could it be... No way, could it be that he's been doing this on purpose to show you? I guess he still can't let you go and is afraid you'll really run off with someone else, so he's leaving some marks."

Cheng Lu guessed with a smile, her tone slightly mischievous.

"..." Shen Xuan felt a sense of helplessness, but she didn't know how to explain the complicated situation to her friend.

After all, the more you talk about this kind of thing, the more chaotic the situation will become.

Since Cheng Lu believes that Li Siyuan did it, then let it be him. Shen Xuan decided to let things take their course and not say anything more, lest things get more complicated.

Cheng Lu glanced at her and noticed that her face was extremely pale, a look that made one's heart ache.

"Xiao Xuan, you look really unwell. Are you feeling unwell?"

Cheng Lu asked with concern, her tone full of worry.

She survived the shipwreck by a hair's breadth, almost losing her life. If she keeps pushing herself like this, it would be strange if she ever recovered.

However, Shen Xuan didn't want her friend to worry too much.

She forced a smile and replied, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired because I haven't rested well these past few days. I'll be fine after a couple more days of rest."

She had been living very cautiously at the Gao family's house these past few days. Although someone took good care of her daily life, Gao Wei was not at home because of work, leaving only her and Gao Jing in the entire Gao family.

After all, this isn't your own home; it always feels a bit awkward to do things at someone else's house.

Now that they were sitting in Cheng Lu's living room, Shen Xuan felt much more relaxed.

Cheng Lu handed her some snacks, hoping to relieve her fatigue.

Shen Xuan took it and immediately asked, "Have your parents gone home?"

Cheng Lu waved her hand, her tone revealing a hint of dissatisfaction: "Don't mention them. I get annoyed just thinking about it. If it weren't for them, I would have given up long ago."

Shen Xuan chuckled softly, then joked, "Your parents came back this time because of your marriage, didn't they? I see that Xiao Hengzhi has been really attentive to you lately. He's treating you so well, why don't you give him more thought?"

"What can I possibly consider? You know what kind of person he is. If his mother weren't close to my mother, I wouldn't bother with him at all."

Cheng Lu sat down angrily, recalling Xiao Hengzhi's self-righteous manner, and her heart was filled with disgust for him.
