Ling Qianqian looked at the lunchbox that the waiter had delivered but had no appetite. She had come here to return his innocence, not to eat lunch. How could she be in the mood to eat before things were clear? However, his stomach continued to throb with pain. He picked up the cup of warm milk tea beside him and took two sips. Only then did he feel better.

Looking at the Lin's Property Building in front of him, Ling Qianqian was even more certain that it was Bai Ziqiang who asked someone to deliver this gift to him, because only he knew that she was sitting here. She was extremely vexed as he tried to figure out who was trying to harm her. It was as if her life for the past few months had been filled with all sorts of unpleasantness as she restlessly kicked the small stones beneath her feet.

A gust of cold wind blew past. Ling Qianqian hugged her shoulders and sneezed, as if the sky was getting colder and colder …

Although Bai Ziqiang had already sent word to her, Ling Qianqian still stubbornly did not leave. She had to make this matter clear. Ling Qianqian had been sitting by the side of the pool the entire time, and her eyes would frequently look at the entrance of the Lin's Property. If Bai Ziqiang had come out, she would be able to see him.

Time passed minute by minute, second by second, Bai Ziqiang did not have time to work the whole afternoon, he only stood in front of the window and looked down at Ling Qianqian. Seeing her trembling from the cold, Bai Ziqiang's heart was filled with guilt.

He really wanted to rush down and hug her tightly, but he couldn't. He had carried out such a long plan and wanted to let go of her now, but no matter what, he wouldn't be able to do it. Qianqian, I'm sorry. Give me a little more time, I will definitely stand up. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you, giving you everything you want.

When it was time to get off work, the familiar sound of high heels came from outside the door. He knew that it must be Lin Hong and his high heels sounded especially sharp. Bai Ziqiang quickly turned and walked toward the door. When he opened it, he saw Lin Hong raising her hand to push open the door.

Lin Hong laughed, "What a coincidence, you want to come out?"

"Yeah, I was just about to go look for you. What would you like to have for dinner tonight?" Bai Ziqiang smiled lightly, and very naturally, held onto Lin Hong's hand that was properly maintained.

"Whatever, what do you want to eat?" Lin Hong smiled and asked instead of answering.

"I heard that a new French restaurant has opened recently. It's said that the taste is quite good. Why don't we go and try it?" Bai Ziqiang looked at Lin Hong gently.

"Sure, I haven't tried French food in a long time. It's also good to go and have a taste." Lin Hong laughed and turned around, with one hand on Bai Ziqiang's arm, she walked out.

A trace of disgust flashed past Bai Ziqiang's eyes. The next moment, he was already completely hidden by him and followed Lin Hong to the elevator, and then they walked towards the underground parking lot.

Bai Ziqiang sat in the driver's seat and thoughtfully helped Lin Hong fasten her seat belt. After getting along for such a long time, he was very clear what Lin Hong liked, and only by giving it his best, would she be able to gain her trust.

"Sit down, we're leaving." After reminding him, Bai Ziqiang stepped on the throttle of the car and slowly drove out of the underground parking lot. From afar, he saw Ling Qianqian still sitting by the pool.

Out of the corner of his eyes, Bai Ziqiang saw Lin Hong sizing his up without leaving a trace, and drove past him without looking at him. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Ling Qianqian chasing after his car through the rearview mirror. From the looks of the mouth, he knew that she was shouting his name. Bai Ziqiang suppressed the impulse in his heart. The car drove away at a normal speed and the whole process did not seem abnormal at all. It was as if he truly treated Ling Qianqian as a stranger.

Lin Hong had been watching Bai Ziqiang's reaction without batting an eyelid, and as expected, he wasn't in a hurry or perhaps he was excited, as he revealed a satisfied expression. It seemed that he had completely let go of this Ling Qianqian, or his acting skills were simply too good, so good that even she had been deceived.

"You're not curious why Ling Qianqian wants to sell the most important information of the Ou Family to us?" Lin Hong raised her eyebrows and looked at Bai Ziqiang.

His heart stirred and Bai Ziqiang almost blurted out the question. Who was the one who framed Ling Qianqian? After getting along for more than three years, he was very clear that Ling Qianqian was definitely not someone who could do such a thing, but the words that were about to come out of his mouth made him forcefully swallow it down. She forced herself to calm down, "I think someone is deliberately using her to deal with Ou Yufan."

"Oh? "Why do you say that?" Lin Hong stared intently at Bai Ziqiang, suspicion flickering in her eyes. Even though his performance just now was flawless, she was still worried. Lin's Property was a business that she had single-handedly created. It had to be handed over to someone that she completely trusted.

"It's simple. If someone gave me a million dollars to sell off my Lin’s, do you think I would do that? A million was simply not money to Ou Yufan at all. If she wanted this money, he could just ask Ou Yufan for it, but there was no need for his to take such a huge risk. Right now, Ou Yufan has just become the new CEO of Ou’s Group, I think there must be someone in the group who doesn't like him, so they might want to take this opportunity to take him down. " Bai Ziqiang analyzed the situation objectively.

The calmer he became, the more he couldn't act as if he believed Ling Qianqian was a traitor. If he said that Ling Qianqian was the traitor, it would attract Lin Hong's suspicion. Of course, he couldn't show that he believed Ling Qianqian, so he could only stay out of it and look at the situation through the eyes of a third party.

"Oh? "Then what do you think we should do about our relationship with Euclidean?" Lin Hong seemed to be very interested in this topic and continued to ask.

"Let's wait and see. At the current stage, all we need is a shallow level cooperation. Let's let the Ou Family fight first." Wait until the real winner is out before we cooperate. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome. " Bai Ziqiang looked ahead resolutely. At this moment, he was like the controller of the plan, causing Lin Hong's heart to tremble.

"Mn, that's what I think too. Aren't you curious about who is the one who is going to overthrow Ou Yufan?" A smile formed on Lin Hong's lips, she was indeed not mistaken.

"It doesn't matter who it is. The most important thing is for him to have the strength to do so." Although Ou Yufan has only just taken office, his father single-handedly created the Ou’s Group, there must be many loyal to Ou Chuxiong on the board of directors, it will not be that easy to take him down. " Bai Ziqiang calmly and rationally analyzed, and from the beginning till the end, he did not ask who was behind all of this …

Ling Qianqian watched as Bai Ziqiang's car disappeared from his sight, and she, who had sat for an entire day, was cold, tired and hungry. It seemed like Bai Ziqiang could not hold onto things anymore, then what should she do next? Was he really going to take the blame? He gently stroked his forehead, his heart filled with helplessness and rage.

She slowly turned around and walked back to where she came from. Her legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead. Her suppressed mood made it hard for her to breathe. Seeing that the sky had already darkened, there was no way for him to find out the truth today. It seemed that he could only find a way to do so tomorrow. He found a place to eat something and walked back, hoping that he wouldn't see that annoying couple when he returned.

When Ling Qianqian walked downstairs, the sky was already filled with stars, and when she raised her head and looked upstairs, she saw that the lights had not been lit. Knowing that Ou Yufan and Angel still had not returned, she let out a breath of relief as she walked inside. However, she did not sense someone silently walking towards her from the shadows behind her …

A person wearing a peaked cap and a dark gray hoodie had a crazed look in his eyes. He had been staring at Ling Qianqian ever since she had appeared downstairs. "Seeing Ling Qianqian appear, he forcefully pursed his lips and revealed a sinister smile on his ugly face …

As Ling Qianqian walked, she took out the key from her bag. Suddenly, she felt all the hairs on her body standing up, and a cold feeling came from her back. She turned her head abruptly, and only had time to clearly see that blurry face before she felt a sharp pain on the back of her neck and lost consciousness in an instant …

Without knowing how much time had passed, Ling Qianqian slowly woke up. She wanted to move her arm, but found that she couldn't use any strength at all. Her whole body seemed to have become extremely stiff. She slowly opened his eyes, and all she could see was darkness. She could not see anything clearly. She closed his eyes again and got used to the light. The moment she opened his eyes, she felt chills down her spine.

This place seemed to be a secret chamber. There were iron racks with sticks, whips, daggers and other weapons that she could not even identify on them. Raising his head, he saw numerous iron hoops hanging from the ceiling. He didn't know what it was used for, but Ling Qianqian's heart was filled with an enormous wave of fear.

He had a terrible headache and a dry throat, probably due to the fact that he had been sitting by the pool all day. When he looked down again, he saw that she was sitting on a chair, tied to a thumb sized hemp rope. No wonder she couldn't move at all. His arms were numb and his hands were tied behind the back of the chair. His feet were tied to the legs of the chair and a piece of dirty, smelly cloth was stuffed into his mouth.

The memories from before slowly returned to Ling Qianqian's mind. She remembered that after returning from Bai Ziqiang's company, she ate some food and wanted to return to her room to rest. When she was walking downstairs, she suddenly saw a blurry face and immediately after, she fainted. Was it that person who knocked her out? But she didn't know that person. Why did he attack her?

The surroundings were ice-cold. A few rays of light shone through the crack in the door. The inside of the door was filled with a damp and musty smell. Where was this place? Had she been kidnapped? Ling Qianqian realized that she had met with danger and realized that she was currently in Mrs Ou's shoes. Ou Yufan was the CEO of Ou’s Group, so the kidnappers must have thought that she could get a lot of ransom just by kidnapping her, right?

This thought caused Ling Qianqian to feel even more cold. The outside world had only seen her as a Mrs Ou and did not know that he and Ou Yufan was only related by marriage. Furthermore, they would be divorced in another nine months or so, how could Ou Yufan possibly pay a large amount of ransom to redeem her?

A hostage without a ransom would usually die, and she was the unlucky hostage...
