"Shuqing, you were with when you were 20, we parted at 21, how could you think that I... died?"
Watching the man’s expression finally settle on profound sadness, Zhuang Shuqing’s eyes flickered with confusion. Could he really be Si Nanchen?
If he really was Si Nanchen, then what about the news of his death three years ago...
"I’m glad to see you. Are you free? Let’s go..."
"I’m not free."
A crisp male voice ca from behind Zhuang Shuqing. Both turned their heads to see a tall man with an imposing aura.
The man’s hand rested on her shoulder, he sternly pulled her into his embrace without casting a single glance at Si Nanchen, "Let’s go."
"Mm."
"Shuqing~"
Zhuang Shuqing had to stop because Si Nanchen had grabbed her hand. She frowned and looked at her right hand, "Let go."
No sooner had she spoken, than a large hand clamped over her right wrist, and her left arm was shielded in his embrace. She had to admit, this posture made her feel secure.
However, the Si Nanchen in front of her looked at her with an extrely unfriendly gaze, causing her to subconsciously lean closer into the man’s embrace.
"Good girl, don’t move, be careful of your left hand."
At his words, she really didn’t move, obediently allowing him to keep her in his embrace. A voice as rich as aged red wine slowly filled her ears.
"Sir, please let go."
"And who might you be?" Unlike Lu Jinyang’s gaze, Si Nanchen’s was filled with wariness.
"You don’t know who I am, yet you dare lay a hand on my person in public?" Lu Jinyang had no desire to waste words with a stranger. His expression turned stern, and he called out, "Security," prompting two beefy n to walk over imdiately.
Si Nanchen hadn’t expected this man to deal with him in such a manner and was montarily lost in thought.
Lu Jinyang took advantage of his distraction to effortlessly free Zhuang Shuqing’s hand from his grasp, then turned and walked away with her in his arms.
And Si Nanchen was escorted by the two security n to the office.
"Hey, Si young master, what brings you here on such a wind?"
Upon seeing the man the security brought in was the Si family’s young master, and considering what the security had said earlier, Li Yan had a rough guess in his mind.
Si Nanchen was holding back his frustration, and he coldly looked at Li Yan, "Dean Li, the people here are becoming quite formidable."
"Oh no, it’s rely their duty. I’m sure a magnanimous person like Si young master wouldn’t mind them too much."
"I, however, am curious about the identity of the man who had taken away just now. How is it that everyone here seems to listen to him?" Si Nanchen raised an eyebrow at him, his displeasure apparent.
Li Yan smiled, "Si young master, you know , Li Yan never turns down doing business with rich n."
"Oh? So that man is richer than ? Enough to make you too afraid to even reveal his identity?"
Li Yan still smiled, "As for money, I’m not sure whose is more abundant, but sotis power can be even more oppressing, you understand what I an, Si young master?"
Si Nanchen fell into thought.
For soone to make Li Yan this wary and tight-lipped, they mustn’t be so straightforward.
"Si young master, you haven’t returned for three years. Are you planning to enter the dostic market this ti around?"
"No, just looking for soone."
"Oh?"
Si Nanchen glanced at him and chose not to continue. He had found the person he was looking for, even though things had gone beyond his control.
Seeing that Si Nanchen did not intend to share more, Li Yan did not pursue further.

anwhile, after Zhuang Shuqing was ushered into the car by Lu Jinyang, he didn’t imdiately start driving, but stared ahead, lost in thought.
A strangely awkward atmosphere suddenly erged inside the car, making one feel uncomfortable all over.
