Pure Love Imprisoned: My Ex-Boyfriend, Who Blamed Me, Imprisoned Me in Love

Lin Mian didn't see He Duoye for the next week.

He hadn't returned to the manor, and Lin Mian was worried that he might have done too many bad things and get hit by a car, so one night she sent him a question mark. She didn't receive a reply until almost dawn.

"busy."

Okay, he's not dead yet.

Lin Mian was too lazy to guess whether he was alive or dead. Having just finished her period, she indulged in a cold drink and was wondering how to pass the time when Uncle Jixiang suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

He told Lin Mian to change her clothes so they could go out.

Lin Mian asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

Uncle Jixiang smiled kindly and said, "I'll take you to see the young master. The car is already waiting outside."

Lin Mian felt something was off, but she didn't have a chance to think about it further because the maids came in and surrounded her.

Judging from this situation, if Lin Mian doesn't change her clothes herself, she'll be changed and then taken out of the house.

She chose to do it herself.

She changed into a simple shirt and jeans, put on flat sneakers, and followed Uncle Jixiang out of the villa's main gate.

Sure enough, two cars were already parked on the wide highway. Lin Mian was in the front car, and the bodyguards were in the back car.

Uncle Jixiang stepped forward and opened the back door of the car.

After Lin Mian got in, she noticed an elderly man sitting in the passenger seat. His temples were gray, and he looked like a local, but his demeanor was very much like that of a Chinese intellectual—refined, gentle, and even a bit scholarly.

He smiled at Lin Mian and nodded slightly in greeting.

Lin Mian subtly tensed up: "You are...?"

Before the old man could answer, Lin Mian caught a glimpse of Mei Li hurrying out of the villa.

She wore a bright red dress, which was eye-catching, but her expression was not good. With a cold and bright face, she strode towards the car, looking aggressive as if she was looking for a fight.

Lin Mian couldn't help but think to herself, "They haven't had any contact lately, have they?"

Even He Duoye, this feudal tyrant, wasn't around. They could only meet once every day or two, and the last time they spoke was a few days ago.

The car, which had just started moving, was stopped. Mei Li walked around Uncle Ji Xiang, opened the car door, and glanced inside, her eyes sweeping over Lin Mian. When she saw the person in the passenger seat, she was clearly taken aback. Her furrowed brows did not relax, and her expression became even more unpleasant than before.

"Uncle Connor," Mei Li said, "what are you doing here?"

Uncle Connor spoke calmly and gently: "Come and meet this Miss Lin, and while you're at it, take her to visit the Third Young Master."

Mei Li suppressed her emotions, but her hostility and defensiveness were undisguised as she got into the car.

"I'm with you all; I haven't seen Third Master for several days either."

Uncle Connor smiled and said, "Okay."

He then inquired about Meili and Meizhu's health, like a very ordinary elder, asking questions in a rambling manner, and even reminding them to remember to go to the hospital for a check-up when they had time.

"A physical exam is also part of maintaining good health. Don't be afraid of the hassle; it's very necessary," he said, his gaze falling on Lin Mian through the rearview mirror.

He smiled, his expression and tone were very gentle, yet they made Lin Mian feel inexplicably wary and repulsed.

"How old is Miss Lin this year?"

Lin Mian's fingers curled up on her knees, her back taut.

The moment she got into the car, she realized something was wrong. Then, seeing Mei Li's sharp, defensive demeanor, she realized that something was very wrong.

This seemingly gentle and refined local old man might actually be a dangerous villain.

Moreover, they are villains who came for Lin Mian.

She blinked slowly and answered, "Twenty-four."

Uncle Connor laughed and said, "You're the same age as the Third Young Master, you two must have been classmates before."

Lin Mian didn't answer, but instead asked, "What is your relationship with him?"

"Me? I'd say I'm his uncle. I took care of him for a while."

Lin Mian then asked, "Was he when he was a child?"

"yes."

"How old was he?" Lin Mian asked again.

If you won't let others ask you questions, then ask others a lot of questions.

Uncle Connor didn't answer. He looked into the rearview mirror and a deep smile appeared on his face. "You seem to have a lot of questions. How about this, I'll give you an address. Come find me when you have time, and I'll treat you to tea. Then we can chat more, okay?"

Lin Mian agreed first: "Okay."

The car fell silent for a moment.

Mei Li turned her gaze and looked Lin Mian up and down. She hadn't expected this woman to be so clever. She wasn't as dull as she seemed.

Two cars, one in front and one behind, passed silently through the manor.

The area inside was larger than it looked. After driving for a while and passing through two gates, the car finally entered the road that ran through the woods.

The trees on both sides grew lush and wild, and the roadside was full of crushed and rotten dead leaves.

After driving along the road for several minutes, farmland, pedestrians, and dilapidated buildings gradually appeared on the roadside.

The people here have dark skin, and everyone's expression is indifferent and numb. Occasionally you see a child, wearing ill-fitting clothes, with a blank expression, lacking any of the innocence and liveliness that children should have.

After driving a little further, the car entered the street, and the number of houses and pedestrians increased rapidly, with many foreign tourists mixed in. The street scene was somewhat like a rural street from more than ten years ago.

The further in you go, the more solid, beautiful and clean the buildings become, vaguely resembling an old-fashioned city, with tall buildings standing tall and several well-known chain brand stores along the street.

The car finally stopped in front of that golden building.

It is the tallest building here, magnificent and splendid, like a finely luxurious five-star hotel. The clean and transparent revolving glass doors are flanked by uniformed doormen, while a group of men in suits who look like tough guys patrol the area.

The Pearl Casino operated by He Duoye is only part of this building, which also includes a hotel, KTV, massage and wellness spa, and other leisure and entertainment venues.

After Uncle Kangnuo got out of the car first, Meili took advantage of the brief moment to say to Lin Mian in a quick and concise tone, "He's no good either, so you better watch out."

I'm right outside the car, so I can't say anything more. It's not a good thing.

As the group got out of the car and entered the magnificent hall, two people approached them.

"We've finally waited for you." The leader had a face that Lin Mian remembered vividly.

That pretty boy who scared her with snakes and then hung her up to feed a tiger.

The young man was now using crutches, with one leg in a cast, and he was standing unsteadily, supported by a very young girl.

Lin Mian was surprised and wary. She thought the guy had been eaten by a tiger, but she didn't expect him to still be alive.

"Uncle Kang Nuo, it's been a long time since I've seen you." The young man only glanced at Lin Mian before going over to shake hands with Uncle Kang Nuo. "That landscape painting you found for me last time was truly wonderful; it's practically a treasure to ward off evil spirits."

"Once it was hung up, not only did business improve, but there were also fewer troublesome customers. People would just pass by the painting, look at the beautiful mountains and rivers in it, and their mood would instantly improve. Everyone would praise it as a wonderful painting!"

The pretty boy showered him with compliments.

Uncle Kangnuo said calmly, "If you like, I'll give you a Pixiu in a couple of days. I just got it; it's good for attracting wealth."

He interrupted the pretty boy's next round of flattery, and said with a smile, "Now take me to see the Third Young Master. I've already made an appointment with him, and I'm afraid he'll be waiting impatiently."
