After a good workout in the office for quite some time, Su Li took Han Ling, whose face was flushed, out for a delicious meal to replenish their energy.

Over the next few days, Su Li took her to explore Shenzhen, watching movies, going to amusement parks, and taking photos in scenic residential areas, which was a great way of making up for the girl's disappointment.

At the same time, Zhong Lin, whom he hadn't seen for a week, suddenly called him, saying she wasn't feeling well and wanted him to bring some medicine over.

"Shall I bring you your medicine?"

"No way! I've been incredibly busy at the company these past few days, working tirelessly to earn money for you. I caught a cold, and you, my boss, can't even offer me a word of comfort?"

Zhong Lin spoke in a clear voice, though with a hint of awkwardness.

"Fine, since you've asked, how can I refuse?"

Su Li's eyes flashed thoughtfully. This girl was obviously looking for an excuse to see him. He would find out why when they got to her house.

I bought some cold medicine at a pharmacy on the way, and then took a car to her upscale residential area.

Before going upstairs, Su Li told Qiangzai to wait downstairs.

He took the elevator to Zhong Lin's door with practiced ease, knocked, and the tall and proud woman, wearing a thin nightgown and looking slightly pale, came out of the house in slippers.

Su Li looked her up and down, surprised: "You're really sick?"

Zhong Lin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think I would lie to you? Where's the medicine?!"

Su Li handed over the medicine, and seeing the other person reach out to close the door, he quickly placed his hand on the door, looked directly at the other person, and said meaningfully, "I'm already here, won't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"

A faint blush appeared on Zhong Lin's pale face as she forced a weak voice and said, "Why would I drink tea? I'm sick and no one will serve you."

"It's okay, I can do it myself."

Zhong Lin, who was unfamiliar with internet slang, snorted and moved aside.

Su Li then walked into the room with a smile on her face, and gently closed the door with her right hand.

Zhong Lin said in a deliberately calm tone, "If you want tea, make it yourself. There are fresh tea leaves in the drawer under the coffee table..."

"Let me get you some water first, and then you can take your cold medicine."

Su Li proactively brewed her a cup of warm tea, then opened the medicine box, took out the pills inside, and handed them over.

"Are you being so kind?"

Despite her words, Zhong Lin swallowed the medicine, picked up the warm tea, and slurped it down her throat.

Seeing that she had finished eating, Su Li said, as if offering advice, "After taking medicine for a cold, you need to exercise more and sweat more to recover faster. What do you think?"

Zhong Lin looked sleepy, yawned, and said, "I'm not interested, I just want to sleep. You can make your own tea, I need to take a nap."

"That won't do. You're an important employee of mine. For your health, I have to help you get better as quickly as possible."

Zhong Lin's lips twitched as she looked at the hand resting on her beautiful leg. "Could you please take your hand off when you say that?"

"I'm helping you. Are you feeling hot now?" Su Li said with a hint of teasing.

Zhong Lin was speechless, both amused and exasperated. She looked at him with a half-smile in her beautiful eyes and said, "If Han Ling knew about your behavior, your perfect boyfriend image would probably be shattered."

Su Li said noncommittally, "Sometimes it's better for people to be a little confused. Nobody likes someone who's too smart."

Zhong Lin wanted to say something more, but her mouth was suddenly covered by a blanket...

An hour later, the two, who had both finished showering, came out onto the sofa to watch a movie, snuggling together without saying a word.

Zhong Lin sighed, "Tell me... what kind of situation are we in right now?"

"Let's polish it!"

Zhong Lin greeted her, clearly unaware of the meaning of the word.

Su Li whispered an explanation in her ear, and the latter became embarrassed and angry, shouting that she was going to report him.

"Stop fooling around, you need to rest more after exercising."

Zhong Lin, after being slapped several times on her round buttocks, finally calmed down with a disgruntled expression.

Su Li stroked her beautiful, jade-like legs with her left hand and said casually, "I'm not usually in Pengcheng, so you can spend more time with Han Ling..."

"Oh, is this a reward from you, Mr. Su?"

Zhong Lin curled her red lips and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"If you say so, then so be it."

Seeing that she had recovered enough, Su Li pulled her to the bedroom again. The latter said she was unwilling, but she was actually very willing.

Time flew by in Pengcheng. While enjoying life in Suli, something else happened: Liu Yuan actually got married to a beer girl named Cheng Lu.

He also made a special trip to bring Han Ling to the other party's wedding, and then went on stage to act as the officiant.

Seeing familiar faces getting married one after another, Su Li belatedly realized that more than two years had passed in this world, and in the blink of an eye, she felt a sense of things having changed.

Before he could even process what he had just heard, Yang Xue from Yiwu suddenly called him, bringing Su Li some shocking news.

Luo Yuzhu has been kidnapped!

"When did this happen, and what were the specific reasons?"

Su Li, who was having dinner with a group of company executives, suddenly changed her expression, took out her phone, and walked out of the noisy private room amidst the surprised gazes of those around her.

"Early this morning, Luo Yuzhu drove to the wholesale market to pick up goods. She was probably kidnapped on her way back... Around 6 p.m., Chen Jianghe received a call from the kidnappers, telling him to prepare 500 million yuan in cash within 24 hours."

Yang Xue's gentle voice carried a hint of relief. She usually went out alone, or at most with an assistant. It was rare for her to be like Su Li, who always had several Mercedes-Benz cars at the beginning of her journeys.

It was after the two became familiar with each other that the latter specially arranged security personnel for her.

"500 million? That guy's lucky if he can come up with 200 million." Su Li shook her head and chuckled twice, then asked, "Did he come to you to borrow money?"

"He was looking for you, but you weren't home when he arrived. He knelt down and begged me to lend him 400 million yuan, saying he was willing to mortgage several of his shops..."

Yang Xue briefly explained the situation and said softly, "I'm currently on my way to the bank."

Su Li quickly asked, "Be careful, are all the bodyguards I assigned to you around?"

"There are eight people around me, all armed... Don't worry, I'm just withdrawing money, not doing anything else."

Hearing the nervousness in his voice, Yang Xue felt a warmth in her heart and spoke with utmost gentleness.

"It's best to be vigilant. By the way, has Chen Jianghe called the police yet...?" Su Li breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, looking out at the night sky and asking carefully.

Yang Xue chuckled, then said gravely, "How could he dare? Those kidnappers said they would kill him immediately if they heard the slightest sound. I originally wanted to call the police, but Chen Jianghe absolutely refused." "Go along with him. By the way... after you get the money, go back to Shanghai immediately. Don't stay in Yiwu for now, since the kidnappers haven't been caught."

After Su Li finished speaking, she repeated, "Listen to me, leave immediately after you get the money."

"Well... okay, by the way, when are you coming back? There's so much going on in Pengcheng."

"Soon, in the next few days!"
