When Chi Yue ntioned Lu Cheng, she asked, "What about Gu Qingcheng?"
Nan Bingyu’s eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm. "Her? After Chu Shuo broke up with her, she’s been trying to get back together with Chu Shuo. When Lu Cheng found out, he started to suppress the Chu Family’s business. Fortunately, Lu Cheng’s reach hasn’t extended to Nancheng yet."
But if no one restrains Lu Cheng, the Gu Family will eventually beco Lu Cheng’s prey with only Gu Qingcheng’s efforts.
"By the way, Lu Nanxi has had a son."
"So soon?" Chi Yue was shocked.
Nan Bingyu shook her head, "Premature, to drive the legitimate wife away. The legitimate wife has only one daughter, and that old man has already started the divorce proceedings."
Chi Yue sighed.
Lu Nanxi was also one to side with power, seeing that it wouldn’t work with Fu Rongyin, she promptly changed her target. She was indeed smart.
But her thods were indeed despicable.
After a night’s rest, Chi Yue had cald down.
Fu Rongyin and Nan Yuan were still in Beijing, which ant they had a planned approach to this matter.
She would wait another three days; if there was still no news after that, she wouldn’t wait any longer.
During these two days, she took Fu Mianmian around. After visiting the studio briefly and confirming that there were no issues, she confidently delegated the work to Dai Qiu.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day, and there was still no news from them, nor could she get in contact with either.
Fu Mianmian had returned to kindergarten, and Chi Yue went out to discuss going to Beijing with Nan Bingyu.
When coming back, Nan Bingyu had sothing urgent to attend to so she didn’t escort Chi Yue.
At the community gate, Chi Yue hailed a taxi, and halfway through she sensed sothing was wrong.
This was not the way to the Chi Family’s ho at all!
Chi Yue discreetly took out her mobile phone and sent her location to Chi Jianshan, then turned it to silent and tucked it inside her clothes. She pulled out another spare phone to make a call.
Just as she suspected, as soon as she brought the phone to her ear, the taxi screeched to a halt and the next second, her phone was snatched away.
"Miss Chi, I’m sorry."
As the voice dropped, Chi Yue’s mouth was covered and she soon passed out.
Upon waking up again, she found herself still in the car, bound hand and foot, with her mouth also gagged.
Chi Yue moved slightly, discovering the phone was still in her embrace, she closed her eyes again, pretending to be unconscious.
The car drove for a long ti before finally stopping.
She was carried out of the car and dropped onto the concrete floor. Just as she was about to open her eyes, a female voice made her halt.
"Why hasn’t she woken up?"
Chi Yue was startled; it was Zhan Youyou’s voice!
Soone said sothing to her, to which Zhan Youyou scoffed, "No need for that trouble, there’s water ready here, splash her awake."
Chi Yue had cautiously observed her surroundings when she entered; the place was an abandoned factory, and any water here would be dirty.
Almost the mont Zhan Youyou’s words fell, Chi Yue opened her eyes.
"It’s you!" Chi Yue recoiled, but upon closer inspection, it was evident that there was not a trace of panic in her eyes.
Zhan Youyou failed to notice her gaze and scoffed lightly, "You woke up just in ti, but I can help you beco more alert."
With that, she signaled to soone nearby who imdiately walked away.
When he returned, he was carrying a basin of water and without warning, poured it all over Chi Yue.
Chi Yue shivered all over, still not fully recovered when her hair was grabbed and yanked back.
What t her eyes was Zhan Youyou’s distorted face.
"Chi Yue, when you first appeared in the Zhan Family, you should have foreseen a day like this. You stayed in Nancheng just fine; why did you go places you shouldn’t have?"
