Disorder in marriage

Xia Linglong put down her wine glass, whispered something in Niannian's ear, then straightened her clothes and makeup, and decisively took Niannian's hand and walked over.

When she got to the man, she pretended to almost trip over him.

"Mother!"

Niannian's shouts attracted the man, who gentlemanly helped Xia Linglong up.

Xia Linglong then tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing her perfect profile.

"Thanks."

The man raised an eyebrow slightly. "You're so young and already have a child?"

Xia Linglong didn't explain, but looked down at her arm.

The man's hand was still on it; he smiled and withdrew it, saying, "Sorry."

"It's alright, thank you."

Niannian tugged at Xia Linglong's clothes and shouted loudly, "Godmother, when are you going to find me a godfather?"

Xia Linglong gave her a sharp scolding and quickly covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense!"

She looked at the man and said, "I'm sorry, it's just a child talking nonsense. Please don't mind it."

They're both seasoned foxes; how could a man not see through her thoughts?

I've seen countless people approach me, but this is the first time someone with a child has walked right into my life.

In addition, Xia Linglong was quite good-looking, and he was very interested in her the first time he saw her.

Are you single?

Xia Linglong hummed in agreement.

The man stretched out his hand, revealing well-defined bones, and wore a black diamond bracelet on his wrist.

"Let's be friends. My name is Ke Anyu."

Xia Linglong returned the handshake, "Xia Linglong."

"The 'exquisite' in 'delicate and translucent'?"

Xia Linglong nodded, not knowing why, but he had led her along.

"Good name." He invited Xia Linglong, "Let's find a quiet place to talk, and bring this pretty girl with you."

Now, not only Xia Linglong, but even Niannian was a little shy.

Yan Zhi and Zhou Zheng, who were not far away, watched the three of them leave and shook their heads helplessly.

"This guy doesn't look like a good person."

Yan Zhi took a sip of wine, shrugged, and said, "Coincidentally, Linglong isn't exactly a pushover either."

Zhou Zheng glanced at his watch; the movie was about to start.

"Let's go see a movie."

"Um."

The theater wasn't even full; there were more people standing than sitting.

Yan Zhi was holding a bucket of popcorn, initially really wanting to see what kind of story the movie was about, but less than ten minutes later, Zhou Zheng started yawning wildly next to her.

The only redeeming feature is the good looks of the male and female leads.

Zhou Zheng was already restless, and the plot was so dull that he couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"I'm going out for a smoke. Come find me when you're done reading."

"it is good."

Yan Zhi patiently watched for a while longer, during which time people kept getting up.

She completely lost interest, glanced down at her phone, and just then Ling Xiao sent her a message.

"Xiao Zhi, I'm done with my work. Come to the lounge on the second floor."

Yan Zhi left her seat, went up to the second floor, and followed the signs. Gradually, there were not many people in the corridor.

As she turned the last corner, three people suddenly appeared in front of her.

She immediately recognized the leader – Brother Long.

"Attorney Yan, it's been a long time."

Yan Zhi instinctively stepped back, but her path behind her was blocked as well.

She could only try to keep her distance from these people as much as possible.

She tried to take out her phone to call for help, but Brother Long snatched it away.

"You're unlucky to have fallen into my hands today. You're the person I've wanted to see most during all this time in there!"

Yan Zhi forced a smile, "Brother Long, you don't have to hate me so much, do you? I was just doing my job for money. It wasn't me who sent you to prison, it was the law."

"Well said!"

Brother Long clapped his hands and then forced her against the wall, his hand gripping Yan Zhi's chin tightly.

Yan Zhi turned her head to one side in resistance, unable to look directly at him, but she could still hear Brother Long's chilling voice.

"Why don't you, Attorney Yan, teach me how many years I'd get for raping you?"

Yan Zhixin's heart sank suddenly. Fear triggered her potential, and she used all her strength to push Brother Long away.

With no one on guard, Yan Zhi seized the opportunity to escape.

"Damn it! Grab her!"

Hearing this, Yan Zhi panicked even more. She couldn't feel her legs; she could only keep moving.

He wanted to scream for help, but his throat tightened and he couldn't make a sound.

As she passed a door, it suddenly opened, and before Yan Zhi could even see who was inside, she was dragged inside by a hand.

The door closed, and the corridor returned to silence.

"Mmm-mmm-mmm—"

Yan Zhi's neck was gripped, and as she resisted, the other person covered her mouth and nose with a towel.

Yan Zhi held her breath, but it was no use. She didn't know if it was the medicine on the towel that was working or if she was being strangled by the man.

She gradually lost the ability to resist, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

......

Xia Linglong and Ke Anyu were chatting when they suddenly received a call from Ling Xiao.

"Hey? Senior, what's wrong?"

"Isn't Xiaozhi with you? I called her but she didn't answer. I've been waiting for her for an hour."

Xia Linglong asked in surprise, "Didn't Xiao Zhi come to look for you? Did you call Brother Zhou Zheng?"

"I did hit her, but Xiaozhi wasn't with Zhou Zheng either."

Xia Linglong was even more puzzled. "Wait a moment, I'll go look for her."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Ke Anyu asked, "What's wrong?"

"My friend is missing. Oh well, I'm going to go find her now. We'll talk later."

After saying that, she grabbed Niannian's hand and hurriedly left.

Ke Anyu wanted her phone number, but he didn't have a chance to get it.

Xia Linglong searched the first floor and then the second floor.

I kept calling Yan Zhi during that time, but I couldn't get through.

At this moment, Zhou Zheng and Ling Xiao were also searching for her everywhere. The three of them circled back to the original spot and confirmed one fact—Yan Zhi had an accident.

Ling Xiao said, "I'm calling the police now. Linglong, go check the surveillance footage. Zhou Zheng, go ask if anyone has seen Xiao Zhi."

Xia Linglong and Zhou Zheng said in unison, "Okay!"

Niannian was dragged around by Xia Linglong's hand. At first, she was confused, but when she saw Xia Linglong arguing with someone, she was so scared that she hid to the side.

"I told you, my friend is missing! Let me see the security footage, what's wrong!"

"I'm sorry, this involves the privacy of other guests, and I cannot show it to you without permission from above."

Xia Linglong was getting impatient and angry. She put her hands on her hips and brazenly said, "Your boss, right? I know him! Show me the security footage first, I'll talk to your boss!"

The security guard still said no.

Xia Linglong was so angry that she took off her high heels and prepared to storm in.

At this moment, Niannian picked up the phone hanging around her neck.

This phone can make calls; Gu Yunmo told her this secretly. Before she came, Gu Yunmo instructed her to call him immediately if anything happened.

The call connected quickly, and Gu Yunmo's voice came through: "Niannian, what's wrong?"

Niannian cried so hard she could barely breathe, "Aunt Xiaozhi is missing... Godmother Linglong is fighting with someone..."
