Sang Qianqian’s first reaction was to refuse.
“Alright, I’ll be there in a while.”
Hearing Sang Qianqian ask him to prepare the car, Jian Zheng exploded.
“What is it? Are you going to the Xie family’s residence now?”
Jian Zheng could not believe it. “Madam, have you forgotten President Shen’s instructions?”
Thinking of Shen Hanyu’s painstaking efforts, Sang Qianqian sighed, “I didn’t.”
However, she had to go tonight.
With Xie Shi’an’s personality and his current attitude toward Ruan Xiaodie, he would’ve never lost his temper and gotten angry at her.
He must have realized that she had done something overboard, so he couldn’t help but lash out and question her.
It was a good thing for her and Shen Hanyu that Xie Shi’an had torn the veil for them.
Why not just make everything clear tonight? It was better than being cautious all the time.
She told Jian Zheng her thoughts in a low voice. Jian Zheng hesitated and said, “Although that’s the case, President Shen is not in the capital now. If anything happens…”
“Just bring more people with you in case of emergencies.”
Sang Qianqian thought for a moment. “I’ll go over and take a look at the situation first. If I feel that something is wrong, 1’11 leave as soon as possible.”
Yin Shuhui saw that she and Jian Zheng both looked serious and knew that something big might have happened. She didn’t ask much and only said, “I’ll take care of your brother for you. You deal with matters over there first. Be careful.”

At the Xie family’s residence.
Ruan Xiaoshuang was pacing back and forth at the door of the study. She looked anxious and somewhat at a loss.
When she saw Sang Qianqian come upstairs, she hurriedly went over and briefly explained what had happened in the afternoon.
Xie Shi’an was originally working at the company, so he shouldn’t have returned so early.
At that time, Ruan Xiaoshuang was in a good mood because her eyes had recovered. She took Ruan Xiaodie to play on the swing in the garden.
Unexpectedly, Xie Shi’an suddenly came home with a dark face. He pulled Ruan Xiaodie off the swing and dragged her into the house.
Ruan Xiaoshuang was surprised and quickly asked what had happened, but he only gritted his teeth and said nothing.
He dragged Ruan Xiaodie into the study and was about to close the door. At that time, Ruan Xiaodie had already realized that something was wrong and cried for her sister. Ruan Xiaoshuang panicked and wanted to follow him in.
However, he firmly refused. “I just want to ask Xiaodie something. Don’t worry, Sister Xiaoshuang.”

The study door was a thick mahogany door that was locked from the inside.
Even though Ruan Xiaoshuang had her ear pressed against the door, she couldn’t hear anything. She only heard Ruan Xiaodie’s faint cries.
But later on, even the crying stopped.
This was the first time that Xie Shi’an turned a deaf ear to Ruan Xiaoshuang’s words. If she hadn’t seen him bring Ruan Xiaodie in with her own eyes, she would have suspected that the person inside wasn’t him at all.
“Shi’an wouldn’t let Xiaodie out. Even when I was about to bring her dinner, he refused to open the door and didn’t say why he was angry.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes were slightly red. “I’m really worried that something will happen to Xiaodie. That child has never seen him like this before. She must have been scared out of her wits.”
Sang Qianqian and Jian Zheng looked at each other. At this point, both of them knew that Xie Shi’an and Ruan Xiaodie had completely fallen out.
So what did Ruan Xiaodie do to make Xie Shi’an so furious?
“Sister Xiaoshuang, don’t worry. Shi’an wouldn’t hurt Xiaodie.”
Sang Qianqian comforted Ruan Xiaoshuang and gently knocked on the door. “Shi’n, it’s me. Open the door.”
She said patiently a few times and finally heard footsteps coming from inside.
A moment later, the door finally opened.
Xie Shi’an’s handsome face was still tense, and his voice was a little tired. “Why are you here?”
“Didn’t you say you would call me if anything happened?”
Sang Qianqian said meaningfully, “Why did you lock yourself and Xiaodie in the room alone?”
Xie Shi’an had mentioned that if he found anything, he would inform her and Shen Hanyu.
Of course, he remembered his promise, but at this moment, he didn’t do so because he was too ashamed to tell Sang Qianqian about it.
“Don’t block the door. Just let me in.”
Sang Qianqian continued, “Whatever you have to say, it’s better to say it all out tonight.”
Xie Shi’an was silent for a while, but then moved aside to let the door open.
Just as Sang Qianqian was about to walk in, Jian Zheng became anxious. “Madam!”
She stopped in her tracks and asked for Xie Shi’an’s opinion, “Let Jian Zheng come in too.”
Xie Shi’an didn’t say anything to stop her. He nodded silently and stopped Ruan Xiaoshuang, who was about to enter.
Ruan Xiaoshuang was stunned. “What is it about Xiaodie that 1 can’t listen to as her sister?”
“I’ll tell you everything later.”

Even though Ruan Xiaoshuang had many doubts in her heart, she could only endure them at this moment. “Alright, then 1’11 wait for you downstairs.”
Xie Shi’an’s study room was very big. There was a resting area, a reading area, and a guest area.
Currently, they should be in the guest area. There were bookcases, desks, and sofas, but Ruan Xiaodie was nowhere to be seen.
Sang Qianqian looked at Xie Shi’an and asked, “Where is Xiaodie?”
“Inside.”
He gritted his teeth and looked at the resting area separated by the Chinese-style carved screen. There was pain in his eyes from being deceived and betrayed, but also disappointment. “She wants the world to be in chaos, so she got involved in the Zhen family’s business…”
Sang Qianqian’s expression changed slightly. Jian Zheng also raised his head abruptly in shock.
“What do you mean?”
She was surprised. “How did she get involved in the Zhen family’s business?”
“Zhen Yiping… In the afternoon, he resigned from his position as the chairman of the group and was replaced by Zhen Chongming.”
Xie Shi’an looked guilty. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t realize this earlier…”
The more Sang Qianqian listened, the more confused she became. Zhen Yiping’s resignation was indeed earth-shattering news in the industry, but what did it have to do with Ruan Xiaodie?
Fortunately, Xie Shi’an quickly explained the reason.
Ever since he discovered Ruan Xiaodie’s strange behavior from those few picture albums, Xie Shi’an appeared calm on the surface, but he secretly had people secretly observe her every move.
Perhaps she hid her actions too well. During this period, she seemed normal and there was nothing unusual about her.
However, this afternoon, Shen Hanyu had called him and sent him a recording of a call. One of the people on the call was Zhen Chongming.
The other person’s voice was deliberately distorted, like a man’s voice that had been seriously injured. It was unusually hoarse, but what he said was audible. The other party had urged Zhen Chongming to kidnap Zhen Zhu on the phone to coerce Zhen Yiping into giving up the position of chairman.
Xie Shi’an was confused. He didn’t know what Shen Hanyu meant by this.
However, Shen Hanyu sent another recording and said, “This voice has been processed by a voice-changing software, but I’ve already restored it to its original one. Listen carefully.. Who do you think this is?”
