After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"...Do you have to be so cruel to me?"

Shen Yan clutched her down jacket tightly, her face pale and her eyes numb. In just a dozen seconds, it seemed as if her soul had been completely drained away, leaving only a lifeless body.

"Do you have to be so cruel to me?" She stared blankly into the void in front of her with lifeless eyes, as if she were talking to someone in the void.

"...Is she talking to us?" Lin Jiahe looked at Pei Xingzhi beside her in confusion.

Pei Xingzhi shook his head: "I don't know."

He genuinely didn't know. Shen Yan Hui's mental state was clearly abnormal, and he didn't know how he should treat her.

Should she be considered a madwoman? Or a wicked woman who deliberately seduced him with the intention of harming Xie Zhaoyuan?

"..."

After saying that, Shen Yan fell silent. After a moment, she turned her back to the three men at the door and picked up her clothes one by one and put them on.

"I'm already dressed, so you don't need to be afraid," she said, turning to face the doorway with a blank expression.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiahe turned around and glanced at her first. Seeing that she was indeed dressed, she reached out and patted Pei Xingzhi next to her.

Pei Xingzhi turned around and stared at her with a complicated expression.

“…I’m sorry.” She suddenly bent down and bowed deeply to Pei Xingzhi.

Pei Xingzhi remained unmoved, only asking her coldly, "Shen Yanhui, why don't you go to the hospital to get checked out?"

This wasn't meant as sarcasm or ambiguity; he genuinely felt that Shen Yan Hui might be experiencing mental health issues, so he suggested she go to the hospital for a checkup.

"Okay." Shen Yan straightened up, lowered her eyes, and nodded. "I will go."

Xie Mingyi frowned: "It's quite cold outside, you should go back to your room and rest."

Shen Yan replied, "Okay."

Xie Mingyi immediately stepped aside, making way for her to leave.

She took a few steps forward, then stopped abruptly at the door, turned around, and bowed to the three men again: "What happened tonight was all my fault. I'm so sorry for the trouble I caused you."

"No, no need for that." Lin Jiahe subconsciously wanted to help her, but as soon as she reached out her hand, she remembered her crazy behavior just now, so she carefully withdrew her hand.

"Go back and rest. Once you've rested, go to the hospital to get checked out."

"Hmm." Shen Yan responded softly, then dragged her puppet-like body out of Pei Xingzhi's room.

"Oh!"

The three men in the hallway breathed a sigh of relief only after they heard her close her bedroom door.

"What's wrong with her?" Lin Jiahe rubbed her throbbing temples, her face full of confusion. "She was normal a few days ago, why is she acting like she's having a fit today?"

"Perhaps he really has a mental problem." Pei Xingzhi frowned deeply, his face darkening from the ordeal.

"Sigh..." Xie Mingyi sighed, then put his arm around Pei Xingzhi's shoulder and asked, "Did Ye Ci call? How's it going with the Yu Xingwang matter?"

Pei Xingzhi: "Still..."

"Buzz-"

"Buzz-"

Just as Pei Xingzhi was about to say "not yet," his phone, which he had tossed on the bed, suddenly vibrated.

Lin Jiahe's eyes lit up: "Was that Ye Ci calling?"

Pei Xingzhi's gaze darkened slightly. He turned and strode into the room, grabbing the phone that was tossed into the blanket.

“…It’s Ye Ci!” Pei Xingzhi’s heart raced the moment he saw the name on the caller ID.

"Answer it quickly!" Xie Mingyi urged.

Pei Xingzhi immediately pressed the answer button and turned on speakerphone.

"Hey, Ye Ci."

"Brother Pei!" Ye Ci's voice trembled slightly; you could tell he was very excited even through the screen.

"I got it! I found out! I got the villa's address!"

Pei Xingzhi: "Speak!"

Ye Ci: "In the southwest corner of Wuling Mountain, there is a private villa called Yunmang. This villa is the one that Yu Xingwang gave to Qin Wushuang! And the villa that Qin Wushuang bought is located in this villa!"

"Are you sure?" Xie Mingyi asked, still uneasy.

"I'm sure! I'm absolutely sure!" Ye Ci shouted excitedly, "This Yu Xingwang is even more cowardly than Qian Jutang. As soon as I got his dirt on him, he burst into tears. Before I even asked him anything, he spilled all his secrets!"

"Would a cowardly idiot like him dare to tell me a single lie?"

Lin Jiahe looked at Pei Xingzhi: "So that means the address is definitely real?"

"It's real!" Ye Ci assured him firmly, "This address is absolutely real! If it's not, I'll twist my head off and use it as a mop!"

"Brother Pei, before Qin Wushuang returns, you guys hurry up and set up an ambush around the villa! Qin Wushuang definitely knows that the police are watching us. Every second we delay, our sister-in-law is in greater danger!"

Ye Ci urged him urgently, but Pei Xingzhi did not act rashly.

He asked Xie Mingyi, "If we calculate the time, how much longer until Qin Wushuang arrives in Linzhou?"

Xie Mingyi: "It takes at least four hours to get from Jingcheng to Linzhou. Qin Wushuang came out of the police station at 10:30 pm. In order to confuse the police, he certainly wouldn't dare to leave immediately after leaving the police station. He would have to go back to the hospital for at least two or three hours. And it's only 12:30 am now. If nothing unexpected happens, Qin Wushuang has just left Jingcheng."

Lin Jiahe: "In that case, we still have four hours to operate!"

"go!"

Upon hearing that there were still four hours left, Pei Xingzhi immediately stopped hesitating. He decisively hung up the phone, grabbed his windbreaker from the foot of the bed, and quickly put it on.

"Brother, call Uncle Chen and tell him the location of the villa. I'll contact Chai Rui now and have him bring some people to come up the mountain with us."

Upon hearing this, Xie Mingyi quickly took out his phone from the pocket of his windbreaker and went to the balcony to make a call.

Lin Jiahe helped Pei Xingzhi pack his things, and just as they were about to leave, he suddenly asked, "What about Shen Yanhui? Should we let her come with us?"

"No," Pei Xingzhi and Xie Mingyi answered simultaneously.

Lin Jiahe: "So you're just leaving her alone in the hotel?"

Xie Mingyi thought for a moment, then sighed with a headache: "Sigh... she's not in a good mental state right now. If we leave her here alone, I reckon something bad will happen to her very soon."

"Never mind, I'll call Huanhuan and ask her to bring Xiaoxuan over to pick Shen Yan up. With a girl by her side, she shouldn't feel too much pressure."

“Okay.” Pei Xingzhi agreed.

Xie Mingyi held his phone tightly in his hand and waited until they reached the street outside the hotel before calling Song Yihuan.

He briefly explained Shen Yanhui's situation and, after confirming that Song Yihuan was willing to come, gave her the hotel's location.

After making the call, he put his phone in his pocket and got into Pei Xingzhi's car.

"Let's go, Huanhuan and Xiaoxuan have already started heading towards Linzhou."
