"Sir, isn't this a bit inappropriate for us to do?" Driver Liu followed behind and raised his concern.
"What's inappropriate? That woman is nominally married into the Bo family. I'm just doing things impartially. If they think there's a problem, they can sue me in court. Let's see who'll win in the end." Su Minghan replied nonchalantly with a smile.
"But we've been wandering around here for about ten minutes. We're probably lost."
"..."
Only then did he react. He withdrew his smile and twitched the corner of his mouth. "Why didn't you say so earlier? Isn't this just a waste of time!"
Driver Liu felt quite aggrieved. "You didn't give me a chance to say it..."
Su Minghan pointed in the opposite direction. "You go that way, and I'll go this way. If you find that woman, meet me at this central point."
"Okay."
At Yancheng Airport.
As soon as Bo Jingyu got off the plane, he immediately called Shen Ximan. But after dialing several times, there was no answer. Something must have happened!
"Second Master." Qian Li took the suitcase from his hand.
"Hurry up. Go to the Shen Family Villa."
"... I'm afraid I can't obey your order. The old master has given the order that no one is allowed to interfere in Miss Shen's business." He said embarrassedly, following behind him.
Bo Jingyu suddenly slowed down and looked at him with an extremely complicated look in his eyes. "When did you become the old man's lackey?"
"I didn't mean that!"
Qian Li stopped in his tracks with a disgruntled look on his face. "I think the old master's approach this time is correct. There are so many women in the world. It's not like Miss Shen is the only one suitable for you."
Bo Jingyu stared sharply at him, and the aura around him instantly dropped to zero. "Whether she's suitable or not is not up to you!"
"Hasn't she caused you enough trouble? I'm doing this for your own good!" Qian Li said, stubbornly sticking out his neck, feeling indignant inside.
Bo Jingyu knew the temperaments of his personal assistants well. "She can cure my illness."
Just this one reason made Qian Li have to admit defeat.
"... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you."
He had been with the Second Master for so many years, seen countless doctors, and tried many folk remedies, but the long - term headache just couldn't be solved.
But Shen Ximan was different. With just a few simple moves, she could relieve the Second Master's pain, as if her hands had magic.
"Let's go quickly."
Before they reached the airport entrance, they were stopped by several bodyguards.
"Second Young Master, please take our car back to the company or the mansion."
Bo Jingyu could tell at a glance that these were sent by his grandfather.
The news spread really fast.
His grandfather was going all the way to the end to eliminate future troubles.
"Get out of the way."
The bodyguards looked embarrassed. "Second Young Master, please don't make things difficult for us."
"I'll say it one last time. Get out of the way!"
"You'd better come with us. Um!"
Before Bo Jingyu could act, Qian Li rushed forward in one stride and gave the bodyguard an uppercut. Hearing the commotion, the other subordinates guarding around quickly ran over to help.
"Second Master, you go first!"
Bo Jingyu clenched his fist and left a sentence, "I'll send someone to pick you up right away." Then he quickly left the airport, got into a car, and drove away.
"Hurry up and report to the old master. The Second Young Master has escaped!"
The leader of the bodyguards who was just beaten roared into the walkie - talkie and rubbed his chin unhappily.
While driving, Bo Jingyu received a call from Su Minghan.
"I've confirmed that the woman is in the basement. I was too reckless just now. I rushed in without a maid who knows the way, and I got lost."
He frowned helplessly. "Stall for a while. I'll be there soon."
Su Minghan was surprised. "It takes at least forty minutes to get here from the airport."
"I'll definitely be there within ten minutes."
Beep beep beep. The call was hung up.
He hadn't recovered from his surprise yet. "Goodness. He's driving an ordinary car like a speed racer again. The traffic police will probably have to work overtime today."
After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and started searching room by room.
"I'll climb over the wall in the backyard tomorrow. You should prepare a car at the fork in the road then. Ten minutes will be enough."
A woman's voice came from not far away.
Su Minghan could faintly hear the general content. He hunched over and tiptoed slowly to the last room door.
"I was supposed to pick you up from the hospital today, but I didn't expect this to happen." Shen Ximan rubbed her forehead in annoyance.
"If I hadn't seen the note you left at my door, I really wouldn't have been able to contact you. Don't worry. I'll definitely handle the matter you told me properly this time!"
Xue Xiaoqi finished making the bed and was about to go through the discharge procedures.
"Note?" Shen Ximan was stunned. "What note?"
"The note where you said you were looking for the eldest young master of the Bo family. If there was any emergency, I should call the two phone numbers written below."
Only then did she remember.
That note was clearly left for Bo Jingyu.
But there was only one phone number written on it. How could it be...
Could it be his doing?
"General Manager Shen, General Manager Shen?" Xue Xiaoqi called out worriedly.
"Carry out the plan as usual tomorrow. I won't talk to you anymore." Shen Ximan hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.
The spare phone was given to her by Bo Jingyu after she left Bo Siming's mansion, while the note was written and given to the nurse at the nurse's station before this incident. Xue Xiaoqi didn't know about it at all.
So he had known all her actions for a long time. He was just pretending to be stupid in front of her?
Shen Ximan couldn't figure out why he would do this.
Bang bang bang.
The sudden knock on the door scared Shen Ximan so much that she dropped the phone in her hand. She held her breath in panic and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Miss Shen, are you in there?"
It was a man's voice. Shen Ximan was sure it wasn't someone she knew.
"I'm Su Minghan. I'm here to rescue you."
She took a few steps back quietly, afraid that this was a trap, and still didn't say a word.
"Your husband sent me."
"He's not my husband!" Shen Ximan retorted subconsciously.
As soon as the words were out, she regretted it. Why was she so impatient!
Su Minghan chuckled twice. "Okay, okay. You're right. How do I open this door? Do you have the key?"
"I'm locked inside. Are you asking me if I have the key?"
Su Minghan came to his senses and knocked on his head. "Sorry. I didn't think it through. Wait for me. I'll go back and get the key."
Tap tap tap. The footsteps gradually faded away.
Shen Ximan blinked in confusion. "Bo Jingyu is such a smart person. How could he have such a stupid friend?"
After saying that, she shamefully shook her head.
She had actually praised him inadvertently!
She must be out of her mind. Just thinking that he would send someone to pick her up made her feel more novel and excited than winning the lottery.
"It must be because I'm grateful to him. Yes, that's right!"
Shen Ximan murmured to soothe her emotions, not knowing that her cheeks were already flushed and burning hot.
"The key."
Su Minghan came back and reached out his hand to ask Shen Yuliang for it.
"Yuer, give it to him."
Shen Shiyu pouted reluctantly. "It's still upstairs. I'll go get it."
