A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

Surrounded by huge floor-to-ceiling windows on all four sides, the enormous office contained only Luo Yunqi, who was staring at his computer screen, seemingly lost in thought.

What exactly did Chen Jianming mean by his last words? Was he reminding himself of something?

"Fang Ming!"

Luo Yunqi called out to the outside. He knew that Fang Ming had been waiting outside. Sure enough, upon hearing his voice, Fang Ming immediately came in.

"CEO..."

"Take me to see Chen Jianming."

"CEO, the person is already in the meeting room, and Yang Jian is keeping watch over them."

Luo Yunqi smiled with satisfaction, picked up his coat, and put it on as he walked. "As expected, you know best what I really want to do."

"It is an honor for me to work for our CEO."

Fang Ming, unusually, offered a flattering remark, which drew a few more glances from Luo Yunqi. The latter remained calm, saying, "You've been spending too much time with Yang Jian, and you've picked up that smooth talk all too well."

When they arrived at the reception room, they could hear Yang Jian's incessant chatter even before they went inside. He never stopped talking once he started.

"..."

"..."

"What is this? Is this considered his magical attack?"

Fang Ming's lips twitched. His CEO's words made a lot of sense. He was afraid that his IQ would drop if he spent too much time with Yang Jian.

Pushing open the door to the meeting room, Yang Jian and Chen Jianming looked over simultaneously, "CEO..."

"He's so stubborn. I've tried everything, from threats to bribes, but he hasn't said a word."

“We all heard it. We were at the door just now, listening to your magical attack. We have no idea where you learned that move from.”

Luo Yunqi glanced at him with a half-smile. Both of his assistants were outstanding individuals. Although their personalities were somewhat different, having them around made his life much easier.

"..."

Yang Jian: "..."

Why do I suddenly feel a little ashamed?

"You two can go down first. I'll talk to the deputy general manager of our group."

"Yes, CEO."

"Yes."

Fang Ming dragged Yang Jian away, his saccharine gaze leaving Fang Ming speechless and helpless.

"People who don't know better might think you have some kind of relationship with that Chen Jianming. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your hobby? You're male, so it's okay to like women, right?"

Fang Ming propped his head up, giving Yang Jian a strange look as he scanned him from head to toe. Yang Jian almost exploded, "What kind of look is that? What do you mean by that? Let me tell you, I'm a pure and proper man, definitely male, and I like women. What do you think I am?"

"I'm sorry, it was a misunderstanding. I thought I was in danger."

Yang Jian: "..."

What should I do? I really want to hit someone!!

Luo Yunqi pulled out a chair and sat down by himself. The other person seemed to have expected him to come looking for him. His eyes were unfocused, and he stared blankly at the bottle of water in front of him.

Luo Yunqi wasn't in a hurry. He calmly scrolled through his WeChat Moments on his phone. He rarely looked at Moments, but he had just seen that Xu Shuli had posted a new update, and there was a new little dot on his Moments feed.

Yao Yao: When you're a human being, you're often speechless; when you're not a human being, you're speechless every day.

Luo Yunqi "..."

Before I could figure out what she meant, I opened our WeChat chat. She hadn't sent me any messages; the last message was still the "goodnight" he'd sent me the night before.

Luo Yunqi "..."

Why do I suddenly feel so heartbroken and sad? His little sister is so cold to him!!

It's okay. Since Yao Yao is so indifferent, let him be more enthusiastic!

Luo Yunqi: Yaoyao, what do you mean by posting this on your WeChat Moments?

Luo Yunqi: Have you eaten? Are you tired? How did things go today?

Luo Yunqi: I just finished dealing with some things. There's so much going on at the group, I'm so tired.

Then he sent a very cute emoji asking for a hug.

He really does look like a simp CEO right now, wishing Xu Shuli would appear in front of him right now and give him a hug.

"Hey…"

He sighed softly, wondering what Yao Yao was doing now, and whether she was thinking about him.

"CEO..."

They had waited so long just to have Chen Jianming speak first. Whoever spoke first would lose the initiative in the conversation.

"You brought me here instead of handing me over to the police station, so you must have some questions for me, right? Now that you've seen me and have questions for me, why don't you ask them now?"

As if he had aged more than ten years overnight, Chen Jianming's cloudy eyes revealed a trace of confusion, and his suit and shirt were also a little wrinkled from being wiped. "CEO, you have indeed grown a lot."

Xu Shuli didn't reply to the message, so Luo Yunqi could only put his phone aside and silently turn up the ringtone a little.

"What exactly did you mean by your last words? Did you find out something?"

"If I tell the truth, will you let me go?"

"Then we'll see if what you just said is enough to make me let you go."

Luo Yunqi showed no stage fright whatsoever. Even when facing someone as experienced in the business world as him, he remained calm and composed, his hands clasped and placed on the table.

"Who exactly made you do all this? Grandpa said you're a veteran in the company, loyal to the company. From the time I took office until now, you've always been diligent and conscientious. I don't think someone's petty benefits can buy you off."

Luo Yunqi's tone changed, the meaning of which was unclear.

So, how are your family members doing now?

"you!"

Chen Jianming's eyes widened suddenly, and his bound hands began to twitch violently. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes, but when he met the other man's indifferent gaze, he forced himself to quiet down.

As expected, he underestimated the newly appointed CEO. No heir of a powerful family would be so simple and clueless.

"CEO, I don't know what you're talking about. My family is doing well."

"Oh…"

Luo Yunqi leaned back in his chair, his posture languid and casual. He casually twirled the steel watch on his wrist, his gaze icy.

"Are your family members doing well? I heard that your grandson still hasn't been found? Is it a problem with the kindergarten administrator, or is it a problem with you?"

The overhead incandescent light made people's faces turn pale. Chen Jianming's head suddenly felt like something had exploded in his brain. His face was as pale as paper, and he dared not look directly into his eyes.

"You...you investigated me..."

"How ridiculous! I've found out about all those things about you, so how could I not find out about these things?"

He raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming. "As far as I know, you've been looking for your grandson for a whole month. You haven't even called the police, and you're still calmly going to and from get off work. It seems your grandson is indeed quite good. I just don't know who took him away."

"And what exactly did the person who took your grandson make you do? I think I probably know by now."

Chen Jianming's face was ashen, and his hands trembled slightly uncontrollably, clearly terrified.

"I…"

"If I'm not mistaken, the other party is asking you to pass on all of our group's important documents to him. I'm their target, aren't I?"

His psychological defenses were breached, and Chen Jianming lowered his head, accepting everything.
