In a hotel room in Jianghai, Du Hanshuang was excitedly jabbering away to a middle-aged man across from her about the day's events.
Liu Jie had so matters to attend to and ca back a bit late, but to his surprise, as soon as he entered the room, Du Hanshuang pounced on him, eager to share the day's happenings.
As he listened to Du Hanshuang's account, Liu Jie's brows began to furrow increasingly.
Although Du Hanshuang was not very clear on the Wu Family's influence in Jiangnan, Liu Jie was fully aware, and being from Jiangnan himself, he had firsthand experience of the Wu Family's prestige there!
Even though he was now a middle-level leader in the Special Security Bureau and didn't fear the Wu Family too much, what gave this young driver the audacity?
At first, Liu Jie didn't pay much attention to the young driver; otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Du Hanshuang, a greenhorn, to track him.
But now, Liu Jie realized he might have been mistaken; this little driver seed not to be as simple as he appeared on the surface.
"What happened next? Did he just go back to the Belle Corporation? Was there anything else that occurred?"
Liu Jie asked gravely as he looked at Du Hanshuang.
"This... no, nothing else..."
Du Hanshuang's pretty face suddenly flushed with redness, involuntarily recalling the embarrassing topics Su Chen had discussed with her in the car.
Seeing her suddenly hesitant and her cheeks turning red, Liu Jie felt a bit perplexed but surmised from experience that there must be more to the story.
"Hanshuang, if there's anything else, you must tell Uncle Liu—it's very important!"
Liu Jie, with a solemn expression, indeed managed to intimidate Du Hanshuang into speaking. She understood the nature of their work; not one clue could be missed as any detail might prove key to solving the problem.
"Is it really that important?"
She whispered, not wanting to divulge such mortifying details.
"It really is!"
Liu Jie insisted, looking straight into Du Hanshuang's eyes and speaking word by word, while he also grew curious about what could possibly make the girl so embarrassed.
"Then I'll tell you, Uncle Liu," Du Hanshuang said with a red face, "but you mustn't tell anyone else!"
"Alright, Uncle Liu promises you."
"It's just that the first ti I followed him, he went into a store, and then..."
Previously, Du Hanshuang had not ntioned that Su Chen had entered an adult store and that she had followed him in. Seeing Uncle Liu treating the matter so seriously, she dared not hide it any longer.
Indeed, Du Hanshuang was quite innocent. She went on to describe, without omission, the events of that day, what had transpired in the car that afternoon, and even her visit to the security departnt of the Belle Corporation—not skipping a single word.
After speaking, Du Hanshuang felt her face burning even hotter, her little heart pounding wildly!
Liu Jie managed to listen without laughing yet looked at Du Hanshuang with a strange expression on his face, shaking his head without saying a word.
"Uncle Liu, why are you looking at like that?"
Seeing Liu Jie tilting his head and regarding her with a peculiar look, Du Hanshuang felt even more embarrassed.
"Never mind, you don't need to follow him anymore."
Liu Jie sighed.
"Why? That guy is obviously not normal!"
Du Hanshuang quickly asked, bewildered why Uncle Liu would suddenly say not to follow after she had just uncovered so many clues.
"He's already noticed you, what's the point of following him?"
Liu Jie rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed.
Du Hanshuang was montarily stunned, then quickly caught on and asked urgently:
"Are you saying that him going into that store and saying those things to in the car was all deliberate?"
"What do you think?" Liu Jie sighed slightly and looked at Du Hanshuang before saying, "Ah, what a foolish girl!"
Fire sparks imdiately blazed in Du Hanshuang's eyes, as flas surged from her Dantian.
"This bastard, how dare he toy with like this! I will never let you off!"

Similarly, on this very night, in the basent of an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Jianghai.
A sowhat portly middle-aged man was dragged in by two burly n, a black cloth bag covering his head.
"Who are you? Why have you kidnapped ?"
The middle-aged man scread in panic, but no one answered him.
Then, one of the burly n removed the bag from his head, and a dim pendant light swung in front of the middle-aged man.
The light made him uncomfortable, and he shielded his eyes with a hand, taking a few seconds to adjust.
"Who exactly are you people? Do you know who I am? I am Xiao Dingguo, the chairman of the Xiao Corporation!"
The middle-aged man shouted again, seemingly full of authority, but inside, he was terrified to the core!
He was having a wonderful ti with his mistress when suddenly, two n burst in and knocked him unconscious.
When he woke up, he found himself in a car with his hands and feet bound.
He had no idea where the car was heading; he could only feel it speeding along.
However, faced with the man's shouting, the two burly n showed no reaction, simply standing quietly by his side.
"Chairman Xiao, long ti no see!"
Just then, a voice ca from outside the door, followed by a man in his early thirties entering. His voice was calm, his smile warm.
But the mont Xiao Dingguo saw the man, he felt his entire body turn cold.
"Lv, Young Master Lv, why have you kidnapped ?"
Xiao Dingguo asked with a tremble in his voice, his eyes darting away.
"Of course, it is to discuss so matters with Chairman Xiao. I was afraid you might be too busy to grant a eting, which is why I resorted to such an uncivilized approach."
Lv Shimo smiled as he walked up to Xiao Dingguo, gazing steadily at him.

"What business does Young Master Lv wish to discuss with ?"
Xiao Dingguo asked, lips quivering slightly, not daring to et Lv Shimo's gaze.
"Why pretend to be confused, Chairman Xiao?" Lv Shimo said lightly, "It's about my younger brother's incident, of course."
"I really don't understand what you an, Young Master Lv. How could your brother's affair involve ?"
Xiao Dingguo feigned a puzzled look and asked as if composed.
"I think my brother's death is certainly connected to your darling daughter. Who else should I ask if not you, her father?"
"How is that possible? How could the death of Second Young Master Lv be related to Xiao Yaning?
Xiao Dingguo, having been around the block a few tis, played his part well, and continued,
"Moreover, that ingrate Xiao Yaning has already severed father-daughter ties with . You must be aware if you read the newspapers, Young Master Lv."
Xiao Dingguo's reluctance to give up Su Chen was not to protect Su Chen, but rather because he was afraid!
He couldn't forget Su Chen's warning and those indifferent, deathly eyes before he left; just thinking about them sent chills down his spine.
If this guy didn't hesitate to kill Second Young Master Lv, would he care about taking one more life—his own?
