Su Zhi’en didn’t expect to be locked up as soon as she returned. She even thought of visiting her children. How was she going to do that now? Seeing that the bodyguards were about to leave, Su Zhi’en shouted, “What about my phone? Can you return it to me now?”

“Why would you need your phone? Do you want to call someone to come and save you? Keep dreaming. You’re not escaping this time! Don’t even think of getting someone to come and save you. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. None of you will be able to escape.”

Su Zhi’en stood at the door as the bodyguard said this, so she turned around and left— Su Zhi’en felt irritated.

Su Zhi’en got nothing out of that conversation. She was simply locked up with nowhere to go. She even thought about climbing out of the window. But if she did that, she would still be at least be a dozen floors up. Seeing that she couldn’t climb out of the window, she decided to pick the lock instead.

Su Zhi’en wasn’t planning on giving up that easily. She found a bunch of tools and was about to pick the lock when she suddenly heard a click. Su Zhi’en stood still while she saw the door opened by itself.

“Mommy, what are you doing? Were you about to pick the lock? It seems that I was right. You were kidnapped by the evil man again. Who did you get into trouble with, Mommy?!”

Su Zhi’en never imagined that Bai Yu’an would be the one to open the door for her. Bai Yu’an was furious when he saw his mother holding some tools to pick the lock. Su Zhi’en felt as though her eyes were playing tricks on her. Otherwise, how would Bai Yu’an be here since Su Zhi’en had just arrived in this city? 

“Yu’an, how did you find this place?”

“You worry me, Mommy. How could I be at ease if I didn’t put a tracking device on you? What have you been doing these past few days? The tracking device showed that you were in the middle of the sea. Did that evil man kidnap you?”

Bai Yu’an was very angry. He then removed the tracking device that he placed on Su Zhi’en. On the other hand, Su Zhi’en was shocked. She felt as though Bai Yu’an had tremendously outwitted her.

“It would seem that the evil man hasn’t learned from his mistake from the last time. I have to teach him a lesson.” Bai Yu’an felt that he should write a more threatening note this time.

When Su Zhi’en saw this, she quickly hugged him. “You’ve misunderstood, Yu’an. That man didn’t kidnap me, and he’s a patient of mine. That man couldn’t travel by plane because of his illness, so we came here by boat instead.”

Bai Yu’an looked skeptical. “Really?”

“Yes, my son. The cell phone signal wasn’t good as we were on the boat. I haven’t been able to contact you. It’s all Mommy’s fault.”

Su Zhi’en continued to coax Bai Yu’an. She didn’t want Bai Yu’an to continue investigating Jiang Chen. If Bai Yu’an continued, then Jiang Chen would inevitably find out, not only that, it was also because Bai Yu’an was so brilliant that he would definitely find out who Jiang Chen truly is.

Bai Yu’an was indeed brilliant, but he was still just a kid. There were some things that he just didn’t understand. After hearing his mother’s words, Bai Yu’an became silent for a while before he said, “Then why are you locked up?”

“I’m not locked up. Did you see any bodyguards outside? I just felt as though it wasn’t safe with no one else being around, so I tried to tighten the lock.” Su Zhi’en spewed nonsense with her eyes wide open.

Bai Yu’an remained silent. He didn’t understand why his mother lied to him about that evil man. It seems that Bai Yu’an would have to investigate that man more carefully.

In the afternoon, Ming Ze received the news that Su Zhi’en, who was locked up in the apartment, had escaped yet again. Ming Ze’s heart skipped when he heard the news, but suddenly, he received another call.

“Assistant Ming Ze, this is Su Zhi’en. I’m sorry, I just wanted to see my family, so I ran out for a while. But don’t worry, I’ll go back to the apartment after seeing them.”

Su Zhi’en deliberately called to tell Ming Ze about this, making Ming Ze feel conflicted. He glanced at Jiang Chen, who was sleeping on the bed as he said in a whisper, “Don’t let Director Jiang find out. Come back quickly.”

Su Zhi’en had no objections, so she hung up the phone.

Ming Ze looked at the phone in his hand as he felt even more conflicted. ‘I should be happy, right? Five years have passed, and Director Jiang’s ex-wife still remembers my phone number.’ Ming Ze had a slight headache as he turned his head to look at his sleeping boss. Suddenly, a doctor walked into the room.

“Assistant Ming Ze, Master Jiang’s scans are out. He was very fortunate this time. There were no signs of ruptures to the blood vessels in his head. But just because it didn’t happen this time doesn’t mean that it won’t happen next time. You have to understand that in Master Jiang’s case, a cerebral hemorrhage could easily occur.”

“Then what should we do?” Ming Ze became very anxious when he heard this.

The doctor shook his head and said, “You are aware of his illness as well. Many doctors have already consulted him. You guys even went abroad. If I may ask, didn’t you guys find a doctor who can treat Master Jiang? Can’t that female doctor treat him?”

When Ming Ze heard this, he sighed even louder. ‘If Su Zhi’en weren’t able to treat him, then it would be fine. We could just look for another doctor. But now that we know that there aren’t any other doctors who can treat Director Jiang, we absolutely have to convince Director Jiang’s ex-wife to treat him..
