After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

She had researched this path before; it led down the mountain, though it was quite rugged and involved a long detour. However, cars couldn't get in, and it was well-hidden, making it the best choice to avoid being caught by Zhou An.

Ji Nianci ran ahead for a while, and only slowed down after making sure Zhou An wouldn't follow.

Only then did she dare to relax, and the wound on her arm felt particularly stinging.

I was so focused on running away that I didn't have time to bandage the wound, and it's bleeding profusely.

That won't do. She'll faint from blood loss before she even gets down the mountain.

Ji Nianci looked around, walked to the base of a tree, and sat down. Then she took out a roll of gauze from her bag and wrapped it around the wound.

She had deliberately put the gauze in her bag.

This injury was also intentional; she allowed Zhou An to slash her.

Having wounds on his own body would better prove Zhou An's motive for murder.

But she couldn't let Zhou An hit her with his car again; after all, it was too risky and out of control.

So she eventually came up with this solution.

She deliberately provoked him with her words, knowing that Zhou An was a very irritable and easily angered person.

Even when they were dating, he was a very easily angered person. The slightest thing could trigger his hidden resentment. When his temper flared up, he became completely irrational, shouting and yelling, and even swearing.

She was also very dissatisfied with him at the time, and the two argued about it several times. But every time Zhou An finished arguing, he would beg her to forgive him, say a lot of nice things to coax her, and say that he would never do it again.

I was so stupid back then, forgiving him again and again because of his sweet words.

Zhou An came from a poor family and lacked ambition. He spent his days relying on his good looks to make money off others, trying hard to present himself as a wealthy second-generation heir from high society. He appeared gentle, humble, and polite, but was actually sensitive and insecure. Poverty and being a kept man were his biggest sore points, so she seized on these to mock and ridicule him.

Ji Nianci knew he would be furious, and once he got angry, he would lose his temper.

As for what he will do next, it is obvious.

She wasn't surprised at all that someone like Zhou An would keep a knife in his inner pocket.

On the other side, Zhou An finally reached the parking spot, stumbling and crawling along the way.

Without pausing for a moment, he immediately got into the car. Just as he was about to start the car, he saw a line of cars speeding towards him in the rearview mirror.

……

Shi Xubai was awakened by a loud knocking on the door.

At first, he tried to cover his head with a pillow and ignore it, but the knocking became louder and more urgent.

He couldn't take it anymore, so he jumped up and walked out with a resentful look on his face.

"Who is it...so early in the morning..." As soon as he opened the door, he saw Tang Zhi standing at the door, looking anxious.

Shi Xubai's expression immediately changed from agitation to blankness, "Zhizhi? What happened to you..."

"Contact Shen Ceyan immediately and tell him that Niannian is in trouble, hurry!" Tang Zhi interrupted her urgently.

"Huh...? Oh, okay." Shi Xubai hadn't quite realized what was happening, but he still subconsciously took out his phone and dialed Shen Ceyan's number.

"What is it now, Young Master Shi?" Shen Ceyan's calm voice rang out on the phone.

"Um... that... Zhizhi asked me to tell you that Nianci is in trouble..."

"What's wrong with Niannian? What happened? Explain yourself!" Shen Ceyan's voice immediately rose several decibels, tinged with panic.

"I do not know……"

"Give the phone to Tang Zhi!"

Shi Xubai didn't dare to hesitate for a second and immediately handed over his phone.

As soon as Tang Zhi took the phone, she heard Shen Ceyan anxiously asking, "What happened? How is Niannian?"

“Shen Ceyan, listen to me. An hour ago, Niannian found me and told me she had to do something, but she wouldn't tell me what it was. She said if she didn't text me within two hours, I should call the police. She kept telling me not to tell you anything, and then she left. She even got rid of the bodyguard you planted next to her. The more I think about it, the more suspicious I get. She must be going to do something dangerous. You need to…”

"Okay, I understand." Shen Ceyan hung up immediately after saying that.

After the phone call, Tang Zhi still looked remorseful.

“I should have told Shen Ceyan sooner, no, I should have stopped Niannian back then, what if something had happened to her…”

Tang Zhi dared not think any further, her voice already choked with emotion.

Shi Xubai stepped forward and hugged her, gently patting her shoulder to comfort her, "It's alright, don't worry. With Shen Ceyan here, Nianci will definitely be safe. And I believe Nianci won't do anything foolish."

Shen's Group, President's Office.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Ceyan didn't hesitate for a second and immediately got up and strode out.

He dialed a phone number while walking.

"Have our people assemble downstairs at the company building. Quickly, immediately!"

Upon hearing the commotion, Assistant Lin immediately jogged over and followed behind Shen Ceyan.

He could sense the intense hostility and panic emanating from his boss; his steps were unsteady and his breathing rapid.

He had a bad feeling. His boss rarely showed this kind of behavior. What could have happened?

The last time something like this happened was when my husband...

Could it be that something has happened to the lady?

After getting into the car, Shen Ceyan immediately turned on his computer and began locating Jinian Ci's mobile phone.

The location was quickly revealed.

Looking at the red dot on the map, Shen Ceyan frowned deeply.

Why would you be in a place like that?

"Go this way." Shen Ceyan handed over the computer.

"Ok sir."

Assistant Lin pressed down on the accelerator; he dared not delay anything concerning his wife.

……

Seeing the impressive convoy behind him, Zhou An had a bad feeling. He didn't care about finding Ji Nianci anymore and stepped on the gas and sped forward.

Unfortunately, it was too late. A black Rolls-Royce sped past him, then swerved sharply and blocked his way.

Zhou An was so frightened that his heart skipped a few seconds, and he slammed on the brakes.

The two cars were almost touching.

"Is he risking his life?" Surely it's not worth it to stop him?

Upon seeing who was getting out of the car, Zhou An felt his vision go black.

Shen Ceyan exuded a chilling hatred, his face so dark it sent shivers down one's spine. Upon seeing him, this hatred intensified; he seemed to want to tear him to pieces in the next second.

Zhou An sat in the car, his hands trembling uncontrollably as he gripped the steering wheel. At that moment, only one thought remained in his mind:

It’s over.
