After she left her father and kept her son, President Pei lost control and knelt down.

The freezer Pei Hansheng was referring to wasn't the refrigerator outside that holds cold drinks, but an ice cellar converted from an underground warehouse. It was filled with ice that never melts and had eight air conditioners running. Being inside was no less frigid than being in a snowy, icy place.

The two pampered young ladies had never experienced such torture before. They were dragged along, limp and weak, their faces filled with terror, empty and numb, completely devoid of expression.

Suo Weiqi looked up and grabbed Pei Hansheng's trouser leg: "Hansheng, we've been on a blind date and had dinner together, don't you have any feelings for me at all?"

If they went in, even if they didn't die, they would be half-dead.

Pei Hansheng lowered his eyes, his expressionless face chilling.

"When you kidnapped my wife, did you show any compassion?"

Fu Miaona retorted, "We didn't kidnap her! We've been at my brother's house all morning, you're making baseless accusations!"

As he spoke, he pinched Soviki hard.

My brother will definitely testify for them. As long as they stick to their guns and deny it, Pei Hansheng is the one who is slandering them.

Sovik rolled her eyes and said, "Hansheng, as long as you can produce evidence, I'm willing to go down and accept punishment."

"Evidence?" Pei Hansheng coldly curled his lips: "Leng Feng."

Leng Feng handed over two appraisal reports.

One of them was a broken plate that had fallen onto the hotel floor, stained with blood—it belonged to Fu Miaona.

Another item, Qiao Wan's broken bracelet, had Suo Weiqi's fingerprints on it.

Pei Hansheng threw the appraisal report on the ground: "Idiot."

Fu Miaona and Suo Weiqi looked at each other, dumbfounded.

He was speechless and could not escape.

Soviki gave up struggling: "It's my fault, I admit my mistake. Hansheng, you should think carefully about the consequences before leaving me in such a cold place. Your mother has her eye on my belly. She says I'm clean and young and can give your Pei family an heir. Once I'm gone, your mother's hopes will be shattered."

Pei Hansheng scoffed.

She's just a recent graduate, inexperienced in the ways of the world. She's clean-cut, but also empty-headed. She's easily swayed, which shows she's brainless. Kidnapping Qiao Wan shows she has no bottom line. She might just be a menace in the future.

"My mother is enjoying her family time at home with her grandson, so Miss Suo should keep her belly pregnant."

The man glanced at Leng Feng, looking somewhat impatient.

Leng Feng quickly ordered his men to take the two women to the underground. As soon as the door opened, a chilling aura wafted out, as sharp as a razor blade.

If you throw two young women in there, even if they stay for just a minute or two, their bodies will be ruined.

The door to the freezer opened and closed again. Pei Hansheng glanced at the time: "Half an hour is enough to freeze a person into a block of ice without killing them."

An eye for an eye; he was simply returning everything Qiao Wan had experienced.

Pei Hansheng dusted off his shirt, picked up his suit jacket, and prepared to leave.

He was worried because Qiao Wan hadn't replied to his WeChat messages.

Just as he stepped out the door, Fu Yuanzhou sped in his car.

The Minglou was heavily guarded, with multiple checkpoints. Apart from Pei Hansheng, only Fu Yuanzhou was allowed to enter.

"You kidnapped Fu Miaona?"

"What, feeling sorry for him?" Pei Hansheng lit a cigarette, squinted and took a puff, glancing at Fu Yuanzhou through the white smoke, nonchalantly.

"If you release him, I won't be able to explain it when I get home."

"Have you ever thought about giving Qiao Wan an explanation?"

"You shouldn't have told Qiao Wan the truth!" Fu Yuanzhou said sternly, his face serious. "This is like rubbing salt into her wounds. She already has emotional issues; if she gets further agitated, it's like stabbing her in the heart!"

Pei Hansheng sneered: "With me here, I won't let this happen."

Fu Yuanzhou didn't believe he had that ability: "I've secretly protected her for so many years, and you've made all my efforts go to waste."

He pushed Pei Hansheng away: "I'm going to take Fu Miaona back to the Fu family. She made a mistake, and I'll tell her to turn herself in to the police."

Pei Hansheng stepped aside and watched Fu Yuanzhou quickly go inside. He stood outside, finished his last puff of cigarette, and shook off the smell of smoke before getting into the car.

He called Qiao Wan, but her phone was off.

We looked for Aunt Liu again; she wasn't missing, she had eaten and was sleeping.

He was still a little uneasy, so he stepped on the gas and drove off from Minglou.

……

"Big brother, my stomach hurts so much, I'm going to die."

Fu Yuanzhou carried Fu Miaona up. Fu Miaona was menstruating and covered in blood. Her clothes were stiff and covered with a thick layer of ice.

Sovici wasn't in much better shape; she had gone into shock.

Fu Yuanzhou called for an ambulance and drove the two people out of Minglou, his brows furrowed.

Ever since Xiao Wan started divorcing him, Pei Hansheng's temperament has become increasingly eccentric, and he's even capable of harming women.

Upon arrival at the hospital, her life was saved, but the aftereffects were significant; she would be extremely sensitive to cold in the future, which could potentially affect her fertility.

Fu Yuanzhou looked coldly at Fu Miaona, who was curled up in pain on the hospital bed.

"Did you tie up Qiao Wan?"

"Big brother, I'm sorry, I was confused for a moment. I've already been punished. My stomach hurts so much. Could you ask Mommy to come and bring me some warming soup? Her soup is the most effective for my period cramps."

Fu Miaona hadn't treated Xia Dingxiang well before, but now that she knew Xia Dingxiang was Qiao Wan's biological mother, she naturally wanted to make good use of her.

Seeing her writhing in pain, Fu Yuanzhou put the kidnapping aside for the moment and called Xia Dingxiang.

"Mom, please make some warming soup and bring it to the hospital. It's not me who's hospitalized, it's Nana. Okay, I'll send you the address."

Fu Yuanzhou ended the call and glanced at Fu Miaona: "Just wait, Mom will bring you soup herself soon."

Fu Miaona gritted her teeth and nodded obediently, "Thank you, brother. Mom is so good to me. She loves me so much; she's like my own mother."

Fu Yuanzhou's eyes darkened, and a hint of guilt flashed across his face.

He didn't say anything and silently left the ward.

Fu Miaona was so angry that she threw her pillow.

He gets this look every time we talk about his sister. It's so annoying! I hate it!

……

Pei Hansheng drove the car to the building where Qiao Wan lived.

He went upstairs and found that the clothes he had changed out of the night before and his watch were still outside.

The lock also had a new password.

Unable to get in, he stood outside, feeling extremely frustrated.

She kept ringing the doorbell, and after five minutes, Qiao Wan was woken up and came to open the door.

When she met the man's eyes, Qiao Wan felt a surge of anger.

"Have you no shame, Pei Hansheng? I changed the password because I didn't want you to come in. Why are you still ringing the doorbell!"

Pei Hansheng stared at her, and the inexplicable emotions in his heart completely dissipated.

She smiled casually, "You were quite confident arguing; you've recovered well."

Qiao Wan tried to close the door: "Get lost."

Pei Hansheng blocked the door with his hand and stepped into the room with one foot: "Let me in. I have something to say about our son."

Qiao Wan pushed the door open forcefully: "There's nothing to say. We're getting a divorce. The child has nothing to do with you."

Pei Hansheng barged into the room, casually pulling her into his arms around her waist, his domineering aura overwhelming Qiao Wan.

He gently stroked her angry brows with his fingertips, and said with displeasure:

"We already have a child, can you please stop being so dramatic? Constantly threatening divorce, how can we possibly live together?"
