actically boil shrimp. She hung her head, unable to string a word together for ages.Rong Ling nodded faintly at the two elderly people. The elderly couple smiled contentedly and, supporting each other...Today's events were too sudden and unexpected for her. She thought that her marriage with Rong Ling, at least in terms of loyalty to each other, had already been settled. She also thought that after Li Lanqiu did such a disgusting thing, she should have known better and left long ago. But unexpectedly, Li Lanqiu didn't leave, and she even got involved with Rong Ling.

Because she couldn't accept it for a while, that's why she was so angry and panicked, her mind was a mess. Following Jiang Chengfeng here, she appeared very passive. After Jiang Chengfeng left, she struggled for a while, and the messy emotions in her heart, which were like tangled yarn, gradually sorted themselves out, each emotion finding its own clear path.

First, she could be sure of one thing: she couldn't stay here. If she just hid like this, she'd be utterly useless. There were so many things waiting for her to do, to face. Escaping wasn't her motto in life. So, she stood up and walked towards the door. But after turning the doorknob, she realized that she couldn't open it!

What is going on!

Frowning, she tried the door again and again. Finally, she grew impatient and her movements became more forceful. She even kicked at the door in frustration, but the sturdy door, made of an unknown material, remained firmly shut.

What flashed through her mind was Jiang Chengfeng's action of taking out his card and swiping it when they entered. Squinting, she began to carefully examine the surroundings of the door, and then on her right hand, she found something that looked like an electronic card reader.

This is——

Unable to contain herself, she gasped.

Jiang Cheng's words from earlier suddenly became clear in her mind.

Stay here, you are not allowed to go anywhere!

He... he's really going to lock her up!

It's actually true!

She panicked, and her heart was also hurt because of this disbelief. Even if Jiang Chengfeng did it for her own good, he shouldn't have locked her up! What was this about He kept saying that Rong Ling had imprisoned her, but did he know that his actions were even worse than imprisonment Especially, he was a law-enforcement officer who understood the law! Most importantly, she trusted him so much. He led her away, and she followed without any defense. But how could he treat her like this Wasn't it hurtful

Bitting her lip, she sat back on the sofa, feeling a bit upset. The more she thought about it, the worse she felt, so she decided to call Jiang Chengfeng and ask him to let her out. She reached for her bag, intending to take out her phone, but when she couldn't find it, she froze.

Hey, where's my phone!

Unconvinced, she searched her bag carefully again, but still couldn't find any trace of her phone!

It's strange, where did my phone go

Her head was pounding, she frantically tried to recall what had happened. She called Rong Ling and then, while holding the phone, Jiang Chengfeng pulled her into a car. The shock was so great that she felt dazed and confused at the time, her mind was a jumble. It seemed like after she got out of the car, she hadn't seen her phone again. She didn't remember putting it in her bag either...

She thought hard again, and it seemed that Jiang Chengfeng had taken her bag. Then, she cooperated and moved, seemingly handing over her phone.

Thinking about it more carefully, she felt like that was probably what happened. At the time, Jiang Chengfeng fastened her seatbelt for her and took her bag. She probably also handed him her phone, intending to put it back in her bag later. When they got out of the car, he brought her bag back, but where was the phone!

Thinking that Jiang Chengfeng had taken off her watch in the wind, saying not to let Rong Ling find her, a chill ran down her spine. ( .. tw no pop-up ads) Could it be that Jiang Chengfeng also took away her phone!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt like it might be true. Unconsciously, the tightness in her chest grew heavier. Without her phone, how could she contact Jiang Chengfeng! Did Rong Ling even come looking for her later Had he called her at all! Youyou suddenly noticed that the sensor point on her watch was gone. Would she be worried!

At the thought of this, she nearly jumped up immediately!

For her son, she had to leave immediately!

She began trying to find any communication equipment in the room, but she searched everywhere and couldn't find a phone or a network cable computer. That is to say, she was completely cut off from the outside world. This made her feel quite disheartened!

Jiang Cheng Feng, are you serious!

She ran to the window and looked down. From seventeen floors up, she felt a slight dizziness. The position of this floor was somewhat off-center; the nearest building was a low one, quite a distance away. Looking left and right, she saw walls of the same color stretching straight ahead, cutting off any possibility of communication with her neighbors.

She almost forgot that Jiang Chengfeng was an outstanding criminal police officer. If he were serious, he would be absolutely masterful at cutting her off from the outside world.

This made her even sadder!

To him, she was so trusting!

But he, yet treated her like that!

So arrogant that she didn't even have a chance to fight back!

Would she be so obediently trapped like this! A tiny house, could it really hold her captive

Of course not!

As long as she wanted to, she could pick up the pen and paper in her hand at any time, write something like a distress message, and throw it out the window. Someone would surely pick it up. But if she did that, wouldn't it also cause trouble for him What he was doing now was very wrong, even unjust. But could she be unrighteous because of that

That is Jiang Cheng, Xiao Lan's older brother!

She slumped onto the sofa, defeated and waiting.

She would wait for Jiang Chengfeng to come, and then, she would have a good talk with him. If he still insisted on not letting her go, then she would have no choice but to take drastic measures.

At this point, Jiang Chengfeng was being watched by Rong Ling. There's no way he would come in this direction! Lin Meng had to wait, but at this time, it was impossible to say for sure.

After Ji Rongling's subordinates returned empty-handed in their search for Lin Meng, Ji Rongling personally went to find Jiang Chengfeng.

He had promised Lin Meng that, unless forced, he wouldn't go against Jiang Chengfeng. And he had always faithfully kept his promise. This time, he still chose to give Jiang Chengfeng a chance. Even though he discovered that the watch on Lin Meng’s hand suddenly stopped working. The little boy noticed and called him, asking what was wrong. He soothed the little boy, saying only that his mommy's watch broke, she was fine now, and assured him that when he went home tonight, he would see his mommy. So, today, he had to bring his woman home.

Ke Jiang, riding the wind, is quite out of touch with reality.

I don't know where Lin Meng is. I took her with me at the time, but I let her go halfway through.

He spoke in a very calm tone, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Yet, he clearly saw the lust in Lin Meng's gaze towards Rong Ling, and knew this was Jiang Chengfeng's blatant provocation directed at him.

If he truly did what he said and let her go, then Lin Meng would have disappeared. Jiang Chengfeng would surely be frantic. It's impossible for him to be so calm. He's a police officer; he can't possibly lack even the most basic reasoning ability, let alone the fundamental capacity for disguise. Yet, he doesn't even bother with pretense. He's telling Rong Ling directly: I took her. But he won't say more, won't give you any information. What are you going to do about it!

How could Rong Ling possibly be afraid of Jiang Chengfeng!

Without that watch, could he not find his woman!

"Jiang rides the wind, wise men don't speak in riddles. Hand over Mengmeng, immediately! Otherwise, I will make you regret it!"

"I told you, I don't know where he is. You didn't watch your own wife, she's gone missing, and you blame me"

He deliberately emphasized the three words "didn't look closely," revealing his mockery of Rong Ling.

"It seems like you've found a new love interest, which is why your wife has left. She doesn't want to go home, and if you ask me, this is all your own doing!"

He doesn't hide his schadenfreude.

Repressing the anger in his heart, it began to swell. He knew Jiang Chengfeng's abilities very well. He also knew what Jiang Chengfeng meant to Lin Meng. Based on what Jiang Chengfeng was saying now, he had every reason to believe that Jiang Chengfeng had said a lot of bad things about him in front of Lin Meng, and even worse, made Lin Meng lose the desire to come back to him!

This made him unbearable!

If Li Lanqiu was a thorn in Lin Meng's heart, then Jiang Chengfeng was no less so in Rong Ling's. This man held too much power and had designs on Lin Meng; she had endured him for long enough!

He glared at him menacingly, threatening him wickedly.

"Captain Jiang, as a law enforcement officer, you know the law. Hiding someone else's wife is a serious crime! Think carefully about the consequences!"

Jiang Chengfeng let out a cold snort, not taking Rong Ling's threat seriously at all. He had been planning this for a long time and would naturally make it flawless. The apartment was located in a remote area and housed mostly mistresses kept by influential men. They were generally reclusive and wouldn't wander around aimlessly. Because the residents there were relatively sensitive, security checks on those entering and exiting were stricter. Without a permit, they wouldn't be allowed in. Although there were surveillance cameras in the building, with his abilities, he could naturally erase the footage. He had made Lin Meng "disappear." How could Rong Ling find her What reason did he have to accuse him!

"Instead of chatting idly here, why not go find someone"

"Don't push me to deal with you." Rong Ling coldly hissed, beginning to reveal his bloodthirsty side. "I'll give you one last chance, tell me, where is she"

Jiang Chengfeng coldly pursed his lips. “I don’t know!”

Rong Ling no longer asked, turned around, and left!

The back figure, sinister and ruthless!

Jiang Cheng touched his last bottom line. He could bear anything and retreat from anything, but when it came to Lin Meng, he would absolutely not allow it. That was a minefield, and if Jiang Cheng stepped on it, he would definitely make him vanish into nothingness!

Wang Lei was his old teammate and subordinate. When he opened his mouth and asked him for help, Wang Lei would absolutely do his best to assist him.

"Director Jiang, about my wife disappearing, please tell me again in front of Captain Wang!"

If Jiang Chengfeng dares to stick to his original statement, he shouldn't even think about staying in the police system! Saying it to him is completely different from saying it to Wang Lei who has already accepted this case! Because every word he's about to speak will become evidence later on!

Jiang Chengfeng's heart was tense. The moment Wang Lei entered, his mind began to race. Wang Lei, he knew him. An elite from the special forces, after retiring, he joined the Haiyi district and in a short time, with outstanding abilities, became the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Haiyi District today. This was a tough character, but he didn't expect that he and Rong Ling actually had some connection. Rong Ling invited him here, this was forcing him!

If he were to be successfully threatened and confess honestly, with his abilities, things would naturally go smoothly. However, if he still chooses to say nothing, then it's estimated that he would get into some serious trouble.

Well, is he afraid of trouble now!

He just can't stand Rong Ling, so why should he fulfill his wish!

Especially now, seeing him with such a smug look on his face is really infuriating. He just wants to completely shatter it.

A rebellious thought arose in his heart, he smiled faintly, and took out his diplomatic skills. He asked Wang Lei to sit down, then explained everything, but still, he maintained the same attitude as he had with Rong Ling before!

After hearing this, Rong Ling coldly thought: Jiang Chengfeng, this is what you asked for!

***

He didn't want to reveal the secret hidden within his anklet, so Rong Ling, with great patience, suppressed the impulse he felt upon bringing Lin Meng back. The truth had been proven time and again: tampering with the anklet was the right decision. Therefore, this secret, he absolutely had to keep safe.

Now, he couldn't act hastily. He had to appear to dispatch people in all directions to search, finally finding it by chance.

During this process, Jiang Yichen also heard the news. His own son was suspected of hiding someone else's wife. How could this be possible. As soon as he heard the news passed by the people below, he felt that it was completely nonsense. He knew very well what kind of personality his son was! But when he heard that the woman who was hidden was Lin Meng, Jiang Yichen immediately blew up!

If it were a dream, then it couldn't possibly become possible!

His own son, will only because of that woman repeatedly losing her mind, and then go mad!

Jiang Yichen couldn't possibly sit still. Although he held a high position and his son had a respectable title, Wang Lei wasn't an ordinary person to be easily dealt with. That boy was from the special forces, specializing in reconnaissance and intelligence gathering. His abilities were no less than his son's, otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved such remarkable feats shortly after leaving the military, earning him the rank of captain. Moreover, Wang Lei had a strong background. They couldn't expect to cover up their mistakes by relying on Wang Lei or pressuring him into sweeping things under the rug; it was simply impossible!

This matter escalated to the point where, with her bullying tactics, she risked even her son's police uniform!

This jerk!

Jiang Yancheng was furious. He immediately called Jiang Chengfeng and started yelling as soon as he picked up the phone.

"You fool! How could you do such a thing Do you still want to avenge your brother Do you still want to keep your job Do you still want your father to live"

Jiang Yancheng's face flushed red, his neck becoming thick and stout. While he spoke, he couldn't help but extend a large palm and fiercely slap the solid table surface, causing it to sound with resounding thuds. The normally revered elegant countenance had revealed its ferocious side due to extreme anger!

"For such a foolish deed, you dare to do it I think your head must have been kicked by a donkey!"

Jiang Cheng listened quietly, his face impassive. He heard the entire reprimand and then stubbornly spoke up.

"Dad, you can rest assured, I know what I'm doing!"

"You think you know what you're doing" Jiang Yichen swore. "As soon as you touch that woman, you go crazy! What happens when she's found What do you say then You have any sense of proportion at all Speak up!"

They won't find it!

"You think you're God, able to make people disappear without a trace Shame on you for being a police officer, Jiang Chengfeng! I see you're getting worse with time! If you keep acting so foolishly, why don't you quit and go home to sell sweet potatoes At least that doesn't require brainpower, and it suits you best!"

Jiang Cheng's mouth twitched.

Jiang Yichen didn't feel that his analogy was wrong, and continued to curse.

“Everything you do will leave a trace. Wind, don't overestimate yourself. There are people above us and beyond us in this world. You think you've done perfectly, but I tell you, that woman being found is just a matter of time. You little punk, slap yourself hard, really hit yourself, wake up! Think carefully about what I said, is it not so”

Jiang Cheng fell silent all of a sudden.

"Hit! Hit!" Jiang Yancheng was so angry he could spit blood.

Jiang Cheng remained silent as always, riding the wind. He wasn't stupid; he understood what Jiang Yichen had said. But understanding was one thing, and doing it was another. Mentally, he didn't want to. Like anyone else, sometimes you know you should do something, that doing it would be right and beneficial, but just... don't want to!

"If I were there with you, I'd slap you across the face and knock some sense into you! After all that hard work we put in, it's going to be ruined because of this one move you made. You fool! Is your brother more important Or yourself Or your parents Or is Lin Meng more important! Me, your mother, you, and even your little brother – none of us are worth as much as Lin Meng!"

"Riding the wind---" Jiang Yichen yelled, his voice booming. "I don't believe in this nonsense! All of us combined aren't even as good as one Lin Meng!"

The roaring sound, like a clap of thunder, could shake one to the core!

Jiang Cheng, shamed by his father's scolding, finally let go of the resentment he had been harboring. To this father who was also his teacher and brother, he revealed a vulnerability that he rarely showed to others.

"Dad, I just want Lin Meng."

So, it's foolishly stubborn then!

At this moment, he was unbelievably weak.

Jiang Yancheng felt a jolt of blood surge through his chest, stopping abruptly at the very center of his heart. It wouldn't move up or down, leaving him in agonizing pain.

It's truly a tragic fate. Both of these sons, one and two, have been ruined by that woman. So many years have passed, everyone else has gotten married and started families, yet the eldest son remains stubbornly obsessed. If Jiang Yichen had known this would happen, he should have abandoned his prejudices back then and let him marry Lin Meng.

No --

Remembering his deceased son, a surge of hatred rekindled in his heart!

Even if he had married that girl, it's still uncertain whether the two brothers would have become enemies over her. What he should have done was to be ruthless, abandoning his conscience and morality, and getting rid of that girl. This would have spared his youngest son's death, his eldest son's lingering thoughts, and prevented a potential feud between the brothers.

"Tell me, where did you hide her"

A chill ran through his voice, betraying a hint of murderous intent.

--- As a side note ---

Please vote for me ^_^ened, he would handle it alone, solving it himself before telling her anything. Just because of this, she couldn't resist him. Should she say he was too macho Or should she blame him for being too car...
