Liang Yu froze on the spot, unable to move.

Yan Qi still kept her on his blacklist.

Yan Qi didn't want to answer her call.

Why?

She didn't remember when she had offended Yan Qi.

This made Yan Qi so disgusted with her.

Even after saving her, he was unwilling to contact her.

Liang Yu took a few deep breaths, went downstairs to find Aunt Mei, and asked:

"Aunt Mei, who brought me home last night? Did you see them?"

Aunt Mei nodded and replied with a smile:

"It was Assistant Zhao who brought you back. She said you were too tired and had fallen asleep, so she carried you up to your bedroom on the third floor."

Liang Yu was startled and quickly asked:

"Which Assistant Zhao?"

Aunt Mei raised her hand and scratched her head, frowning as she pondered:

"What was Assistant Zhao's name again? He's the Assistant Zhao who brought you home the day you were discharged from the hospital."

It was Zhao Wen!

Liang Yu nodded and replied softly:

"Okay, got it."

Liang Yu turned and walked into the courtyard, with Aunt Mei following behind her, happily reminding her:

"Madam, the master said he invited a Michelin-starred chef to cook at our home tonight. Is there anything you particularly want to eat? I'll go and prepare the fresh ingredients now."

Liang Yu said without turning his head:

"No, you decide what to do."

Fang Ze actually had the mind to eat a Michelin-starred meal.

It seems that Shi Yue is out of danger.

Liang Yu sat down on the swing in the yard and made a phone call to Zhao Wen.

The call connected quickly, and Liang Yu immediately asked:

"Assistant Zhao, were you the one who drove me back to Redwood Bay last night?"

Zhao Wen replied:

"Yes, I'll take you back."

Liang asked:

"I went to Jiangcheng yesterday. May I ask how you met me last night?"

Zhao Wen replied:

"My boss asked me to report on your recovery last night, so I gave you a call."

"I didn't expect it to be a friend of yours who picked you up. He said you were tired and accidentally fell asleep in the car, so he asked me to pick you up and take you home."

Liang Yu pressed further:

"Have you seen my friend? Did he say anything?"

Zhao Wen replied:

"He didn't say anything. When I went to pick you up, you were sleeping alone in the car, so I carried you home on my back."

Liang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Yan Qi didn't even show his face before handing her over to Zhao Wen.

Is it because he doesn't want Zhao Wen to know that he was with her last night?

Does this mean disclaiming any connection?

Seeing that Liang Yu remained silent on the other end of the phone, Zhao Wen smiled and asked:

"Ms. Liang, you keep asking about that person from last night. Is that person very important to you? Are you looking for that person?"

Liang Yu's throat tightened, and his hand holding the phone began to tremble.

She wanted to admit to Zhao Wen that she was indeed looking for Yan Qi.

Now, Yan Qi is indeed a very important friend to her.

But these are just her one-sided thoughts.

In fact, Yan Qi probably didn't want to see her again.

Yan Qi blocked her number.

She messaged Yan Qi, who told her not to message him unless necessary.

If she still can't see that Yan Qi is trying to distance himself from her despite his obvious rejection and rejection, then she is truly incredibly stupid.

Yan Qi saw her in danger, so he stepped forward and saved her.

This is entirely out of a sense of justice, to punish evil and promote good.

Yan Qi saved her simply because he was an upright and courageous young man.

It wasn't because Yan Qi considered her a friend or an important person.

Otherwise, why would Yan Qi block her?

Why did he disappear without a word after saving her?

It's because he's afraid she'll bother him again.

Since that's the case, even if she really wants to contact Yan Qi now, it's best not to bother him.

She didn't want to be someone that Yan Qi would find annoying.

She should respect Yan Qi's decision.

Liang Yu took a deep breath and said to Zhao Wen on the phone:

"No, I just don't know who it is. Sorry to bother you, goodbye."

Liang Yu could only resort to such a clumsy lie to deceive Zhao Wen.

Liang Yu was unaware that Zhao Wen had the phone on speakerphone the entire time she was on.

Inside the top-floor office of a private equity firm in Haicheng.

Yan Qi leaned back in the leather boss's chair, his long legs crossed, facing the floor-to-ceiling window, while Zhao Wen stood behind him answering Liang Yu's phone call.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing Yan Qi in a soft glow that softened his usually sharp features.

Seeing that Liang Yu had hung up the phone, Zhao Wen put her phone back in her pocket and cautiously asked Yan Qi from behind:

"Young Master Qi, should I give Miss Liang a heads-up?"

Yan Qi spun his chair around, his cold gaze sweeping over Zhao Wen.

He spoke in a cold tone:

"No need, let's continue with what we were just talking about."

The sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows fell on Yan Qi's face from the side, making his skin appear even whiter and more translucent.

It conveniently concealed the faint bluish shadows under his eyes, as well as the damp, dejected look in his eyes.

He was still the same ruthless and decisive second master of the Yan family.

Both phone calls Liang Yu made were sent to Fang Ze by an AI program hidden in his phone.

Fang Ze was sitting on the sofa in Shi Yue's VIP ward.

After reading the email sent by the AI ​​program, he frowned deeply.

Why did Liang Yu call Yan Qi again?

Judging from the phone's usage time, this was the first call Liang Yu made after waking up.

According to the recorded phone call between Liang Yu and Zhao Wen, Liang Yu returned from Jiangcheng with another person last night.

Therefore, combining the two, the person who returned from Jiangcheng with Liang Yu last night is most likely Yan Qi.

No wonder Liang Yu didn't want to wait for his Maybach to pick him up.

It turned out that Liang Yu had returned in Yan Qi's Rolls-Royce.

So, was Liang Yu's phone off last night because she was afraid he would call and affect her date with Yan Qi?

They haven't even gotten their divorce certificate yet, and Liang Yu is already so eager to throw herself into Yan Qi's arms?

No.

He cannot allow such a thing to happen.

He had to make Liang Yu see what kind of person Yan Qi really was.

Liang Yu was still kept in the dark by Yan Qi.

If Liang Yu finds out that Yan Qi has been lying to her all along, she will definitely stop seeing him.

Women don't like being deceived.

Liang Yu is also a woman.

Women are all the same.

Once Liang Yu realizes she's been deceived, he can coax her back, and she'll still be his Mrs. Fang.

Fang Ze suddenly stood up and walked out of the ward.

His hand had just touched the doorknob when Shi Yue's voice, barely audible, came from behind him:

"Brother Fang Ze, are you leaving?"

Fang Ze paused, then turned to look at Shi Yue on the hospital bed.

Shi Yue looked at him with a pale face and helpless eyes.

Shi Yue's eyes are exactly the same as Shi Ya's.

Sometimes, in a moment of distraction, he would even mistake those eyes for Shi Ya's eyes.

Fang Ze's fingers, which were resting on the armrest, twitched slightly. After looking at Shi Yue in silence for a moment, he softly hummed in agreement and said gently:

"I need to go home."

Shi Yue pressed on in a hoarse voice:

"Fang Ze, are you in a hurry to get home? Did something happen to Sister Liang Yu?"

Fang Ze was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with Shi Yue's words.

He tugged at the corner of his mouth and said with a faint smile:

"No, you should rest well. I'll come see you when I'm done with my work."

Shi Yue's heart sank, but she quickly replied with a smile:

"Okay, I'll wait for Brother Fang Ze to come see me next time."

Not long after Fang Ze left the ward, Shi Yue locked the ward door, went into the bathroom, and called Cao Lan.

The call connected quickly, and Shi Yue asked in a low voice:

"Big sister, was the information I provided yesterday accurate? Did you teach Liang Yu a lesson?"

Cao Lan replied through gritted teeth:

"Let it go this time. If Liang Yu has any other whereabouts next time, just let me know in advance."

Cao Lan attributed the failure of the kidnapping of Liang Yu to those three useless thugs.

Being slow-witted and having a slow reaction time is why, in such a short time, he not only lost his way but was also beaten half to death.

She hadn't even had a chance to test the Liang family members yet.

The Liang family made the first move.

Next time, she needs to find some reliable and ruthless people to handle things.

Shi Yue listened to Cao Lan's words and obediently replied:

"Okay, big sister, I'll provide the information as early as possible next time."

Cao Lan hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.

Shi Yue spat into the phone after Cao Lan hung up on her.

He cursed inwardly, "This useless old woman can't even handle such a simple matter. She's the boss's wife of the Liang Group, but she's nothing."

Fang Ze rushed back to Redwood Forest Bay in a great hurry.

After he returned, he went straight to the guest room on the first floor.

As soon as the door opened, Liang Yu was seen reading to his grandmother.

Fang Ze strode over, grabbed Liang Yu's wrist without a second thought, and dragged Liang Yu toward the living room.

Liang Yu's wrists were chafed raw by the ropes last night, and now, with Fang Ze gripping them tightly, his entire arm trembled in pain.

But she gritted her teeth and dared not shout it out.

She was afraid her grandmother, who was in the hospital bed, would hear.

Liang Yu was sweating profusely from the pain. After being pulled out of the guest room by Fang Ze, he carefully closed the guest room door.

Then he gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Fang Ze, you're hurting me."

Fang Ze looked down at Liang Yu.

His attention was only on Liang Yu's tearful eyes, and he didn't notice that Liang Yu's wrist was still wrapped in gauze.

When Fang Ze met Liang Yu's hateful eyes, it felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out, the pain making it hard to breathe and his voice trembled as he spoke.

"I just pulled you a little, and you're in this much pain? Did it hurt when Yan Qi pulled your wrist?"
