♂?,,
The man raised the corner of his lips, narrowed his deep and bottomless black eyes, and hummed a syllable from his nostrils, "Hmm?"
"I shouldn't have fallen in love with...!" She mustered up a lot of courage to say that.
Long Yeh's mood was inexplicably good, and with one swift motion, he pulled her into his own embrace, tightly wrapping his arms around her waist. His shallow eyes slightly raised, "I don't mind."
"Ah?" She looked at him with a flustered heart.
Every time she faces him, her heart is in a flurry.
"I don't mind, it's okay with me!" He repeated firmly and added, "But you can't be like that with other men."
“……”
Does she have the guts?
"And from now on, I don't want to hear the name Su Shijie coming out of your mouth again!"
“……”
Emma!
What did she do again?
Did she call out that man's name while drunk?
She looked at him with a guilty conscience and found that he didn't seem to be joking, feeling extremely depressed in her heart. "Maybe, maybe I was asleep and called out unconsciously."
"Unconscious, and also cannot!"
He intensified his tone, wanting to monopolize her world alone.
"Don't get me wrong, I called out and definitely scolded him harshly in my dream too! Did you hear the scolding behind me?" She looked at him very seriously, eager to prove her innocence.
Seeing her like this, Long Ye felt a bit satisfied. "Alright, I'll believe you for now. Go take a bath, I don't want to sleep with a drunkard."
"Then just sleep on the sofa."
She quietly added a sentence in her heart.
It feels great to be relaxed, Tang Mi dragged herself into the bathroom, finally letting out a breath, looking at herself in the mirror, as if she had become familiar with herself.
The only feeling in my mind right now is that this man is too dangerous.

The next morning, when the family gathered together for breakfast, Zhu Wenyi rushed in with a phone, "It's bad, it's bad."
Long Zhenfei raised his eyes and looked at his eldest daughter-in-law with displeasure, "What's the matter that you're in such a hurry, can't you speak properly?"
"Dad, Ruo Shui didn't come back last night!" Zhu Wen Yi said anxiously, "And when I called her, her phone was turned off."
Haven't come back?
Long Ye's eyebrows furrowed.
Tang Xiangxiang vaguely remembered that she had seen her in the imperial capital, "We were together just last night, how could she not have come back?"
"Were you together last night?" Zhu Wenyi's voice rose a few degrees, anxiously looking at Tang Mianning, wanting an answer. "What time was it last night?"
"It was, drinking together in the imperial capital, later I got drunk and didn't know anything." Tang Xiangxiang spoke stutteringly, after all, being stared at by her made her exceptionally nervous.
"Drunk? A married woman, what are you doing in those places?" Zhu Wenyi was visibly displeased and wanted to lecture her, but Long Yehou spoke up instead.
"Last night I took her there, and Long Ye Chen, we were all in the Imperial Capital. Did Ruo Shui come with Su Wan Ru? Have you called Su Wan Ru's phone?"
"Called, still can't get through! Called their home, Su's family said he hasn't returned."
Long Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling that something was off.
Last night when they parted ways, he indeed left them on the street, but it was a bustling city with many people and easy to hail a taxi, so nothing should have happened.
"Mom, don't worry for now, I'll investigate this matter."
After finishing speaking, he didn't bother eating breakfast and went out with his phone.
Tang Mianmian had no appetite for dinner either, but was worried about the man, so she grabbed a sandwich and hastily followed him out.
The old man's face was gloomy, his sullen expression made people feel afraid. "Someone actually dares to move against a member of the Dragon family!"
"Grandfather, don't get angry first, big brother will handle this matter well." Long Yechen advised.
He was there last night too, but he left in the end, and got completely drunk as well.
But clearly remembered that Long Ruo Shui left with Long Ye Jue together.
In the garden, Long Ye Jue instructed the detective agency to investigate this matter. Tang Xiangxiang brought out three sandwiches and handed them over after he finished his call, "Eat something first, is there anything I can help with?"
He handed her a sandwich and instructed her, "Just stay home, don't go anywhere."
"I want to help." She gazed at him intently, wanting to share his burden.
Long Ye Jue, who had originally wanted to refuse, looked at her for a while before finally nodding, "Alright, but you have to listen to me."
"Mm." Tang Mianmian nodded vigorously, afraid he would regret it.
The two returned to the dining hall, where everyone had a solemn expression. Zhu Wenyi even burst into tears with a sad heart.
Long Yechen was trying to appease Old Master, fearing he would get sick from anger.
Long Yebo glanced at the crowd of Long family members, his expression suddenly returning to that cold-blooded young master, "Grandfather, don't worry for now, if it's a kidnapping, then the kidnapper will definitely call, after all they're after money, they won't harm the hostage."
"What if it's an enemy?" Zhu Wenyi asked tearfully.
"I've already found someone to investigate people who have recently had a grudge against the Long family, and I believe we'll get results soon. For now, let's not spread this around, the fewer people who know about it, the better."
Long Ye Jue gave orders in an orderly manner.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After all, if the kidnapping incident gets out, it will inevitably affect the stock price of Longshi Foundation.
"Should we call the police?"
"No way!"
"No way!"
Everyone unanimously denied it.
Tang Miyan looked at others with a embarrassed expression under their contemptuous gaze, feeling that she was somewhat too stupid.
Zhu Wenyi's emotions were stirred up, and she directly retorted, "Call the police! What if the other party tears up the ticket? Are you trying to get my daughter killed?"
"Mother." Long Ye Jue called out coldly.
Tang Mianni bit her lip and didn't dare speak again.
Although it's a bit frustrating, I also think that I thought too simply about it. She hasn't experienced such things before, so the first thing she thought of was to call the police, which isn't wrong either.
Maybe it's just that I haven't stood in their shoes to think about it, Tang Xiang comforted herself.
Long Yeh stretched out his hand and grasped hers, saying to the crowd, "Before we have any news, let's not act rashly. I'll handle this."
His words were convincing to everyone.
Because he is Long Ye Jue!
Before long, An Yi led a group of people into the Long family's old mansion and began installing some equipment that no one could understand.
The low-pressure atmosphere made everyone's heart hang tightly.
Until the phone rang...
This shout made everyone's heart skip a beat, and they all looked at me cautiously, not daring to make any sudden moves.
Long Yejue slightly raised his hand, soothing the tense atmosphere, and looked at An Yi.
An Yi made an OK gesture and then instructed Xu, "Xu Bo, answer the phone, remember to stall for time."
Xu nodded and counted to three before picking up the phone. "Hello, Long family's old residence. Who is this?"
"Long Ruo Shui is here with me, come and exchange for money!" The other party's hoarse voice was obviously processed by a voice changer.
"Who are you? Why kidnap our miss?" Xu asked anxiously.
"I'm telling you again, come for the money and exchange!"
"Wait a minute, I'll go get Mr. to answer the phone." Xu said in order to stall for time.
The other party acquiesced in his behavior, Long Fengteng walked over and picked up the phone under Long Yeye's indication. "I am Long Ruoshui's father, why do you want to arrest my daughter?"
"Why? Of course it's for money! Get ready with 10 million US dollars to ransom my daughter!" The kidnapper roared.
The Long family is after all the number one aristocratic family in Jiang City, wanting a mere 10 million is indeed nothing.
"Where is it given?"
"I'll let you know later about this, remember, don't call the police, or I'll tear up the ticket! Oh, and there's a woman too, she's good friends with my daughter, she wants 1 million as well!"
Another girl?
Su Wanru!
This is what everyone expected.
"Money is no problem, but don't you dare hurt them!" Long Fengteng continued to stabilize the bandits, "Now I want to hear my daughter's voice, I want to confirm that she is okay."
"Shut up with so much nonsense!" The kidnapper scolded a few words, and finally handed over the phone. After a while, the phone rang again, and Long Ruoshui's crying voice for help was heard.
"Daddy, daddy, save me, save me..."
"Like water..."
Zhu Wenyi suddenly looked like she was about to cry.
"I'm giving you one hour, and I need $11 million ready. I'll contact you in an hour to arrange how the money will be transferred."
"Wait a minute..."
"Beep beep beep..."
The phone was hung up, even though Long Fengteng made an effort, the kidnapper still hung up.
Long Ye looked at An Yi and several staff members on horseback, "What's the situation?"
"The time is too short, there's no way to detect where the location is." The staff's response made Zhu Wen-yi cry even more sorrowfully.
Tang Mianmian handed over a tissue and comforted, "Mom, don't be sad for now, the kidnapper wants money, at least they won't hurt Ruoshui."
Zhu Wenyi had always been dismissive of Tang Mianmian, and naturally ignored her words as well. "Since you all left together last night, why didn't you come back together?"
She looked at Long Ye, who had been keeping a straight face all along.
The man being questioned had a tightly pursed lip and an expressionless face, but it was eerily frightening.
At this moment, he is a stranger to Tang Xiangxiang.
What exactly happened last night, she couldn't remember, but vaguely knew that Long Ruoshui and Su Wanru got on the car, could it be that something else happened in between?
Of course, she doesn't dare ask now.
Long Ye Jue has already called various banks to immediately transfer funds and prepare 1.1 billion in cash.
The whole group of people were mobilized, and this number was still easily reached.
When An Yi confirmed the number had hung up, the phone rang again.
It's exactly one hour.
Long Fengteng picked up the phone after everything was ready. Before he could speak, the kidnapper asked, "The money is ready, right?"
"Yes." Long Feng's fist was clenched very tightly.
"Alright, send someone who has no relation with the Long family."
"How is this possible? Who would be willing to stand out at this time and send money over?" Long Fengteng immediately retorted.
The kidnapper didn't care about that much, coldly throwing down a sentence, "You think of a way yourself, just don't let anyone from the Long family come, or I'll tear up the ticket!"
"Alright." He gritted his teeth in response.
"Tell the person sending money to wait for me at Qinghe Road No. 97 Street, I will contact you again then."
Qinghe Road.
Everyone looked at the tracking staff, who shook his head, indicating that the call was not made from there.
Long Fengteng hadn't even spoken yet when Fang hung up again.
"It seems to be a gang, deliberately used to interfere with our tracking." The staff analyzed the call, "This time's phone number is different from the last one, and all of them are newly opened numbers that can't be inquired about any information."
Long Zhenfei's hand grasping the teacup had not relaxed, his cold and stern eyes fell on everyone, "The problem now is, who will go to deliver the money? The kidnapper has already planned carefully, they must have come prepared, we can only wait for death."
Long Ye is considering this candidate.
Tang Mianmian stepped forward and said, "Otherwise, I'll go."
