"Wake up?"
"Hmm?" Jessica, who had just woken up, turned to Ouyang Qing. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"What have you been doing in Feng Xiao's room in the past two days?" Ouyang Qing's direct question shocked Jessica. "Do you think I'm stupid? Did you think you could sneak in there without being caught? There are plenty of CCTV cameras in this house, and one of them recorded you going there, so you don't need to lie to me."
Jessica inwardly sighed, realizing that she had been too careless and should not have gone to see Tang Xiao. She immediately sat on the bed and answered her question. "Feng Xiao reminded me of an old friend, so I went to see him to confirm. Two nights ago he told me that we had never met him before, but I doubted that because I felt so familiar with him. Therefore, I met with him again last night, but I left immediately after asking him a few questions."
"Who is your old friend? Is he your ex-boyfriend?" Ouyang Qing suspiciously asked.
Jessica shook her head in response. "Qing, I've never loved any other man except for my current husband, okay? Feng Xiao's face resembles that of my old friend from elementary school, Huan Bing, and since they both came from the same city, I mistakenly thought he was my old friend."
"Hmm?" Ouyang Qing was still suspicious of Jessica, but she also knew that she had never liked any man apart from her current husband. "Are you really not having an affair with him?"
Jessica became confused by Ouyang Qing's attitude. "Your questions make me feel that you are jealous of me, Qing. Are you interested in Feng Xiao? If—"
"No!" Ouyang Qing denied it with a low cry. "Feng Xiao is a poor chauffeur; only a foolish woman would fall in love with him! Wen Tian is a thousand times better than him, and we will get married soon!"
'Do you think you would have had a chance to marry Wen Tian if your father hadn't threatened him? He only loved Tang Yin, and he still loves her to this day.' Jessica then got out of bed. "I have business at the office today, so I'll be leaving now. I'll return home tonight, or you'll continue to suspect me of having an affair with Feng Xiao."
"Hmm?" Ouyang Qing did not stop Jessica, but she still had suspicions about her. She contacted some of her subordinates, asking them to monitor her friend's activities.
Ouyang Qing then went to the bathroom to clean herself, and she left her house shortly after Jessica left.

Five young men were gathered in a park, and their expressions looked serious, especially after one of them informed them about the disappearance of one of their friends.
"Hey, Ming! I think this matter is really strange." The man with short black hair spoke. "First, Yao Shao suddenly disappeared without explanation, and to this day, Uncle Yao has still not managed to find him. Second, Ran Qingfeng went out with you and Meng Hao last night, but he suddenly disappeared, and no one knows his whereabouts."
Ouyang Ming sighed softly. "I agree with you, Yang Chen. "I also find their disappearances really strange, and I think that they are related to each other."
"Who is the mastermind behind their disappearance? Why would that person do that to them?" Another young man with spiky red hair asked them.
A young man with brown hair and a muscular body joined their conversation. "Furthermore, the Ran and Yao families are allies of ours; no one should have the audacity to harm them; however, that mysterious person still dared to act without anyone being aware."
"Hey! Actually, I have suspicions about one person, but I'm sure you guys will laugh at me." The other four turned to Meng Huo, who immediately told them about his suspicion. Tang Xiao is the only person with a deep grudge against our family, and we all know that the police have not been able to find his corpse, particularly because the location is deep and dark. That's why I think he might still be alive, and he was the one who kidnapped them, but I can't understand how he managed to do it so neatly."
"That's impossible!" Ouyang Ming exclaimed while shaking his head. "Bai Huang shot Tang Xiao straight in the chest twice, and they witnessed him fall into the ravine, so I'm sure he must be dead by now."
"Even if Tang Xiao was still alive, he would be crippled after falling from such a height, and he wouldn't be able to leave the ravine, so I don't believe that he was the culprit." Yang Chen then asked them. "Do you guys have any guesses about the other perpetrators? I know that Yao Shao has many enemies, and I wouldn't be too surprised if someone kidnapped him. However, Ran Qingfeng is different, and he doesn't have too many enemies, so I was confused by his disappearance."
They could only sigh after hearing that, and Shen Xiang spoke to Ouyang Ming. "Hey, I'm concerned that the culprits will target us next, so I think it would be better if you sent Bai Huang and his gang members to investigate their disappearances. If they manage to find the culprits, we won't have to worry like this."
"I've contacted Bai Huang, but he has a task from my father in Songjiang, so he won't be able to help us until he gets back to this city." Ouyang Ming then told them something else. "Anyway, I've gotten my father's permission to send people to monitor the Tang House, and I've ordered that person to capture Tang Yin if the opportunity arises."
Unlike Meng Huo, the other three men were shocked to hear that, and Lin Xia asked him. "Are you sure that person is capable of capturing Tang Yin? After that incident, Tang Yuan will definitely not let her niece out of her sight, and she will protect her like a mother hen protects her chicks."
"You're right, and I have also considered that issue myself." Ouyang Ming suddenly grinned confidently before telling them. "That's why I asked my father to send a special person, and she is much stronger than Bai Huang, so I'm confident that she can do something against Tang Yuan."
"Who is that person? Is she really strong? What about Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan?" Yang Chen asked with a frown, especially since those two people were powerful and their family could destroy the Tang family because they let their guard down completely.
"I can't tell you about her identity, but she's really strong." Ouyang Ming then patted Yang Chen on the shoulder. "I understand your worries, but Tang Huang hasn't come to this city for seven years, and my father's people told me that Tantai Lingyan isn't in this city right now, or else we would have heard about her actions because of Tang Xiao's death."
"That's true." The others agreed with it, and Shen Xiang spoke to them. "Tantai Lingyan loves Tang Xiao so much, and their relationship was truly unusual, so she would be furious if she knew that he was dead. However, news of his death has been spreading for several days, but we still haven't heard anything about her, so I think we should take action against Tang Yin before she and Tang Huang return to this city."
"All right, I'm going home now. I still have other things to do, and you guys can wait for news from me about Tang Yin." Ouyang Ming then got up and walked to his car, and the others also followed him. "After that person captures that bitch, she will hand her over to me, and we will finish things that have been pending for seven years."

After they arrived at their house, the Ran Twins went straight to their room to rest because the long flight gave them jet lag, making Zhao Yuxian shake her head at their behavior.
After she ordered the maid to carry her twin daughters' suitcases to their room, Zhou Yuxian went to her study and took out her smartphone before calling her husband, Ran Linfeng. However, she couldn't contact him because his number was inactive, and she tried to contact several other people, but none of them knew her husband's destination, confusing her.
"Why did he deactivate his phone number? Is he in a meeting with someone?" Zhou Yuxian then called her friend, asking about their plans for tonight. "Alright, I'll meet you and the others at that place tonight."
Thereafter, Zhou Yuxian called several other people, especially the police, to ask about their search for her missing son. Unfortunately, she was disappointed because they still hadn't managed to track down the whereabouts of Ran Qingfeng, unaware that he had already died at Tang Yin's hands.
"Where did you actually go, Qingfeng? Why didn't you tell us your destination?" Zhao Yuxian suddenly felt dizzy thinking about the whereabouts of her missing son, and she hurriedly returned to her bedroom, but her mind could never calm down.

Tang Xiao was sitting on top of an office building while holding his cell phone, and his eyes kept looking at a repair shop that was right across from it.
[Master, Zhao Yuxian will meet her friends at night. By the way, my mistress said that you should see Xing Xing as soon as possible, and she is not far in front of you now.]
