After her ex-husband became a Hong Kong entertainment circle tycoon, he put his arm around her waist

Upon hearing Qi Yuye's words, Nan Shu was immediately stunned.

There was a look of surprise and bewilderment in her eyes.

Looking at Qi Yuye's serious eyes, Nan Shu suddenly pictured Lin Xi's face.

Her restless heart felt as if it had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and Nan Shu immediately looked away.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. I just want to get Um's illness treated first."

After leaving those words, Nan Shu immediately pushed open the door and left.

Looking in the direction Nan Shu left, Qi Yuye felt as if something inside his heart had been tugged, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

This was the second time he had been rejected by Nan Shu.

Qi Yuye felt a burning anger simmering inside him with nowhere to vent it.

Just then, the phone next to me suddenly rang.

Qi Yuye glanced at it, looked at the phone number on the screen, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

After answering the phone, a man's voice came through, his tone respectful.

"Mr. Qi, what happened to that man from yesterday?"

"Watch him, I'll go there myself."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yuye immediately got out of bed, quickly tidied up, and headed to the hotel from the previous day.

The hotel's basement storage room.

Two burly bodyguards stood guard at the door with piercing eyes, while angry curses occasionally came from inside.

"You surnamed Qi, what right do you have to lock me up here!"

"I'll make sure you pay when I get out of here! You just wait, you sycophantic scoundrels!"

Upon hearing these curses, Qi Yuye raised an eyebrow, and the anger on his face subsided considerably, replaced by a cold smile.

The lobby manager standing nearby couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine upon hearing these words.

She forced a smile, trying to reassure Qi Yuye, afraid that this matter would implicate her.

"President Qi, please don't take it to heart. He's just desperate, that's why..."

Qi Yuye turned his head and glanced at the lobby manager, his eyes filled with warning.

Upon seeing Qi Yuye's gaze, the lobby manager immediately shut his mouth.

Upon seeing Qi Yuye approach, the bodyguard bowed respectfully to him.

"President Qi."

Qi Yuye nodded, his gaze falling on the door of the storage room.

"Is he still refusing to say anything?"

The bodyguard nodded. "He's very tight-lipped and extremely vigilant. No matter how we probe him, he doesn't reveal a single clue."

Upon hearing the bodyguard's words, Qi Yuye sneered.

"I've seen plenty of stubborn people. Open the door."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard next to him immediately opened the door to the storage room.

Song Mingkai was standing at the door pointing outside and cursing when the door suddenly opened. Even more unexpectedly, Qi Yuye arrived.

He glanced at Qi Yuye warily, then, as if he had thought of something, he pretended to straighten his clothes and gave Qi Yuye a fake smile.

"Mr. Qi, do you know that locking me up here is illegal?"

Upon hearing Song Mingkai's words, Qi Yuye raised an eyebrow.

"Did I break the law? Why don't we talk about drugging Nan Shu instead?"

"And what about your abusing your position to transfer company assets and harm the company's interests?"

"As a newly appointed senior manager at Shengda Group, based on these two points alone, the group has the right to suspend you from your duties pending investigation. You must know what that means, right?"

Song Mingkai had prepared a lot to say, but after hearing Qi Yuye's words, he couldn't utter a single word.

A moment later, Song Mingkai glared at Qi Yuye and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Do you have any evidence for what you're saying? This is slander!"

He did everything flawlessly, and even if there were any flaws, Song Ci would handle them for him, so there was absolutely no way anything could go wrong.

"Are you sure? Oh, by the way, are you still hoping that Song Ci will come to save you like before?"

"But as far as I know, Song Ci would never save someone who is completely useless to her. I already spread the word yesterday that you were in my hands, so she probably knows by now."

"Do you think she'll send someone to rescue you, or eliminate you to prevent future trouble?"

With each word Qi Yuye spoke, Song Mingkai's expression grew increasingly grim.

In the end, Song Mingkai fell silent.

He knew Song Ci's character very well, and naturally he could tell that what Qi Yuye said was not unfounded.

He had personally dealt with many people who were useless to Song Ci, but he never expected that he would end up like this.

A hint of resentment flashed in Song Mingkai's eyes. He was unwilling to be manipulated by these rich people like this!

Qi Yuye caught a hint of resentment in Song Mingkai's eyes, curled the corners of his lips, and continued.

"I can give you a chance, as long as you help me identify Song Ci when necessary, I can overlook what you did to the company."

Upon hearing Qi Yuye's words, Song Mingkai hesitated.

He didn't know if what Qi Yuye said was true, but it was the only path he could take.

Seeing Song Mingkai's hesitation, Qi Yuye shook his head with regret.

"It seems you haven't made up your mind yet. In that case, I can give you some more time to think it over carefully."

"However, what Song Ci will do is beyond my control."

After saying this, Qi Yuye turned around and prepared to leave.

Song Mingkai was caught off guard by Qi Yuye's sudden departure and panicked. He quickly called out to Qi Yuye to stop him.

"Wait! I can agree to your offer, but you have to give me an extra five million!"

Upon hearing Song Mingkai's words, Qi Yuye frowned slightly, his expression showing displeasure.

Are you trying to bargain with me?

"I'm giving you a chance; if you don't cherish it, then forget it."

Qi Yuye didn't linger and immediately left the storage room.

The door to the storage room closed again, and the bodyguards left, leaving Song Mingkai alone.

Looking at the surrounding walls, Song Mingkai recalled what Qi Yuye had just said and suddenly felt extremely flustered.

He quickly stepped forward and pounded on the door of the storage room.

"Let me out! I don't want to stay here!"

"Go tell President Qi that I agree to his proposal!"

Not far away, Qi Yuye heard what Song Mingkai said and a smile appeared on his face.

"Go and release him, have someone keep an eye on him so he doesn't escape, and also let Song Ci know this."

Upon hearing Qi Yuye's instructions, the lobby manager standing to the side looked puzzled.

"President Qi, didn't you just say you were going to use him...?"

A dark glint flashed in Qi Yuye's eyes.

"He was just bait to lure Song Ci into a trap. Do you really think a nobody like Song Mingkai could possess any important evidence?"

Upon hearing this, the lobby manager's gaze towards Qi Yuye instantly filled with admiration.
