want to do business with her in the future, I'm afraid...Li Song glanced at the businesspeople in the audience. He saw that more than half of them were interested in Lin Meng. He thought, "If Guangda...According to her guess, since it was specified that she had to reach the Round Trade Building within an hour, it meant that she was safe within that hour and hadn't reached the point where the nanny would have to intervene. Therefore, she should have enough time to implement her escape plan.

At this point, no one could make a move, let alone order Rong Ling's men to take out the nanny. Be careful, things might backfire, and the nanny might immediately turn on her, even shooting her. She didn't know how skilled the nanny was. However, Rong Ling's men were unarmed, but the nanny definitely had a gun. Trying to subdue the nanny with Rong Ling's men was too risky!

She pressed her lips together and listened carefully to the sounds outside the door. After hearing nothing, she cautiously opened the door wider and peered out. The hallway was dark and deep, but there was no one there, which was good. Tiptoeing, she moved quickly and silently towards a guest room on the same floor, keeping a watchful eye on her surroundings. Once she was sure no one was around, she swiftly turned the doorknob of the guest room and slipped inside, closing the door behind her. Then, still light on her feet, she approached the bed.

The bed had been specially modified by her early in the morning. It looked like solid wood supports reaching all the way to the floor on both sides of the bed, so it was impossible to hide anyone there. Even if you didn't believe and lay down to look through the gap of about two centimeters from the ground, you wouldn't see anything. This was because Li Lanqiu had cleverly set up a hidden compartment beneath the empty space of the original bed frame. The space wasn't large, but it was enough for a woman of her stature to hide inside. From the outside, no one would be able to tell the secret if they didn't know what was going on inside.

She crouched down and carefully removed the side bed panel. Then, she crawled inside, lay down, and carefully put the panel back in place.

Being a spy is such a dangerous job that even the dimwitted have to know how to plan for a backup. Wu Shengnan was a bit clever; after entering this small villa, she quickly created a safe haven for herself. She thought to herself, "What if something happens to me What if my life is in danger" Then, she could hide here and buy some time. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest. Those who want to kill her probably wouldn't have expected that she didn't leave the villa but hid right here instead.

Although she was still trembling with fear, a sense of satisfaction flickered in her heart. The nanny definitely didn't know she was hiding here. She couldn't find anyone in her room, so the nanny must think she had secretly run away.

Her grip on the gun loosened slightly, finally able to relax just a bit. She closed her eyes gently, focusing all her senses on her ears, carefully listening to the sounds outside while simultaneously thinking about what she should do!

Perhaps, once the nanny leaves, going to seek refuge with the z country police would be a good option. She still has a big bargaining chip in her hand, and the z country government should be grateful to her. Just, her mother――

She thought of her mother, her eyes darkened with sadness and pity. But then she remembered her own life, and could only suppress these feelings. She had cared for her mother for so many years. What if her mother really died because of her ...Then don't blame her for being unfilial. However, as long as the other party didn't kill her mother before she sought refuge in country Z, she would definitely try her best to use the information at her disposal to exchange her mother back.

Thinking this way, she felt a little more at ease. This wasn't abandoning her mother; rather, if she died, her mother might die too. So what she was doing now was right, and she shouldn't feel guilty about it.

Lost in thought, she suddenly heard a click as the doorknob turned. A soft footstep sounded, followed by rustling movements as if someone were searching.

She saw a pair of familiar shoes through the small gap she had left, and her heart sank.

She was right! Just like a good little nanny, she guessed it.

That little nanny is looking for her!

The room was searched for a while, the bed underneath was also shone with a flashlight. Wu Shengnan looked at that face which was very close to her now, and nervously could only desperately hold her breath, trying her best to minimize her presence. But luckily, the nanny didn't notice anything and soon stood up, searched again, and the door was closed once more. The nanny walked out.

Wu Shengnan's tightly strung nerves finally relaxed. This hurdle had been overcome, she thought. As soon as the babysitter left, she would call the police. It was better to be safe than sorry.

But what shocked her was that after a while, the door was opened again.

Her heart skipped a beat.

However, it was the nanny's low voice reporting the results to Party M that I heard.

All the houses have been searched, there's no sign of her, she must have sneaked out. What should we do now

She fell silent for a moment, as if listening to instructions from somewhere, then spoke.

"Well, she didn't alarm anyone and didn't take a car, so she shouldn't have run very far. I'll go chase after her right now. I'm sure I can catch her and bring her back."

"Well, alright, mission accomplished!"

After she finished, she hung up the phone and cursed under her breath several times.

Damn woman, always causing me trouble, just wait until I find you!

His tone was menacing, yet he quickly left the room.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Wu Shengnan was unusually delighted. Because, the nanny was going to pursue her. That meant she was really safe!

After waiting for almost half an hour, she was sure the babysitter had already left the villa and probably gone very far. She decided to come out. Because she was worried about staying inside for too long, the babysitter had been tracking her outside for half a day but found nothing, so she became suspicious again and returned to the villa.

Half an hour, not too much, not too little, just right.

She gently pushed aside the wooden panel beside the bed and placed it on the floor. Holding a gun in one hand, she slowly crawled along the hidden panel beneath her, inching her way out. Just as her head emerged, a faint sneer arose.

"Hi, there you are!"

There's a bit of mischief in that!

She was startled, her hand moving faster than her mind. With a flick of her wrist, the gun barrel swung around.

"Don't move!" The woman's voice suddenly turned icy. "Or I'll blow your head off!"

She didn't aim at the nanny, but the nanny's bullet was aimed directly at her head.

"Don't move!" The nanny commanded again, striding towards her. "I'm only here to take you back. Don't make me kill you here!"

Wu Shengnan's heart relaxed a little.

It's not about killing her directly, but taking her away. That way, she still has a chance! For example, when driving on the road or during the journey, anything can happen. She still has a chance to turn the tables despite her current disadvantage.

So, she offered no resistance. She simply watched as her own gun was taken by the nanny and replaced with a different one, which was pressed against her head. The barrel of that gun felt heavy and cold, incredibly oppressive. Having such a dangerous object pointed at her head made it impossible for her not to be afraid. Then came the shock at the agility of this nanny, who appeared to be close to forty years old. How had she returned to this room unnoticed! How had she discovered she was here in hiding!

These were all unsolved mysteries, but the riddles were enough to let her know just how capable this nanny was. So, when the nanny impatiently tapped her head with the gun muzzle, urging her to crawl out from under the bed, she did so. Then, she was pushed back into her room by the gun, because the nanny said she needed to retrieve some of her important things.

The bag had been moved from where she left it on the bed, but she didn't think much of it. She assumed it was the nanny rearranging things while looking for her. Her mind was racing with thoughts of how to escape, so focused that when she bent down to grab her bag, someone suddenly shoved her hard, sending her crashing to the floor.

Just as she was about to glare angrily, the nanny pressed in behind her, saying nothing. A cold gun barrel was pressed against her temple, and then a shot rang out!

She didn't react at all, just widened her eyes and her body went limp. Blood, like running water, flowed from her temple, staining the white sheets!

Wide-open eyes, with more whites than pupils, and few dark pupils, as if in the final moments before death, questioning — why!

The nanny's face remained impassive, a calmness that bordered on indifference. It seemed as if every individual to her was as simple and mundane as making a bed.

She put away her own gun and took out the pistol she had taken from Wu Shengnan. After taking out a bullet, she placed it in Wu Shengnan's hand and demonstrated how to hold and shoot. Then she placed it beside her. She then fiddled with Wu Shengnan's body slightly, checked the bed carefully, and then tidied up the room as if she were a maid, not a killer.

Only when the entire house was tidy and showed no sign of having been ransacked did she purse her lips and scoff inwardly -- such a hassle!

Wu Shengnan was definitely going to die, but the original plan was to let her go out first and then stage an accident. Because the people above didn't want to cause any more trouble, Wu Shengnan's accidental death would make things much simpler. Unexpectedly, Wu Shengnan still had some brains and guessed the intentions of those above, and then escaped. But she didn't know that as soon as she came in, she took advantage of cleaning up the house to search the entire house inside and out. The mechanism on the bed in the guest room, she already knew it long ago. The reason why she didn't expose Wu Shengnan hiding there at first was because she needed to guard against the gun in Wu Shengnan's hands. She could directly shoot and kill Wu Shengnan there, but this wasn't the plan of those above. Under the circumstance that Wu Shengnan couldn't be let out, those above could only take the second measure, which was to create the illusion of Wu Shengnan "suicide". So, she had to be led back to her own bedroom and then use "her own gun" to shoot herself in the temple.

The gun in her hand, and Wu Shengnan's gun, were exactly the same, including the bullets inside. She was also wearing gloves, so there wouldn't be any fingerprints of hers left on Wu Shengnan's gun.

All the signs point to suicide, and she certainly had reasons to take her own life. Once suicide is confirmed, that's the end of it, all roads lead back to Wu Shengnan.

But she's going to have a bit of trouble, because the police will definitely be checking everyone at that time, and she'll still have to endure it all as a nanny.

It's so not free!

The woman shook her head, picked up the small bag containing any items that might be related to party M, and walked out quietly, gently closing the door behind her.

Although the villa had surveillance cameras outside, there were several blind spots that the cameras couldn't reach. She took advantage of these blind spots and quietly left the villa, transferring the small bag and gun to someone else. When she successfully snuck back into the villa, she was just a clean and innocent nanny.

She lay down on her bed, closed her eyes, and quickly fell into a peaceful sleep, as if she hadn't done anything tonight at all.

Those responsible for guarding her had no idea that Wu Shengnan, the person they were protecting, was already dead. Their duty was to keep a close eye on the perimeter of the villa and rush to her protection when she issued an emergency call.

Tonight, it's quiet, just like every other night before.

But Wu Shengnan just died like that, her eyes wide open, as if she was unwilling to die. But no one cared. Her body could only slowly change from warm to cold stiffness, and then even the blood solidified into a dark red color, becoming dirty and smelly. But this, definitely wasn't the end.

After Jiang Yichen and Jiang Chengfeng gave a brief report to their superiors and colleagues about what happened tonight, they rushed home together to accompany their mother. Their mother finally learned from her sons that the person who saved them was Rong Ling, and she was moved again.

Her animosity towards Rong Ling was actually the mildest among the Jiang family, because there had always been a Xiao Youyou occupying an extremely important place in her heart. Now that Rong Ling had achieved this level of success, talking about revenge was simply out of the question. On the contrary, aside from past grievances, they were actually indebted to Rong Ling.

"You two, stop what you're doing."

Mother Jiang leaned against Jiang Yichen and said...

"We can't be so hasty." Jiang Yancheng hadn't lost his rationality despite being overwhelmed with gratitude. "Tonight's events are known only to our family of three and Wang Lei. However, with Rong Ling's outstanding performance tonight, many people will surely want to know who we hired. Even if we remain silent, they will still investigate and speculate. At such a crucial moment, if we suddenly cease being adversaries with Rong Ling, it will certainly give some people an idea of what's going on. This wouldn't be good for Rong Ling. We absolutely cannot do this."

“Dad is right. Not only can we not show gratitude, but we also have to continue treating him the same way we always have. Since Rong Ling doesn't want anyone to know, we absolutely must keep our promise and bury this deep, deep down.”

"That'll have to wait" Mother Jiang was also intelligent and immediately guessed it.

Jiang Yichen nodded. "Not bad, let's wait until after these sensitive days. When the time is right, we'll start to cash out!"

Then Jiang's mother frowned slightly, feeling a little guilty. "That seems a bit unfair to him. If we delay another day, his company --"

“You don't have to worry about him anymore.” Jiang Yancheng actually smiled. It was because he had truly let go, so his smile carried a newfound warmth. In the past, it would have been impossible for him to smile like this when talking about Rong Ling. “Look at that kid’s demeanor tonight, I think he's very capable and must have some backup plan. We don't need to worry about him; let's just focus on our own side.”

To suppress Rong Sanbo, Rong Ling, and the Rong family, they did many things. From now on, these matters need to be quietly erased.

Jiang Mu thought about it and felt relieved. She smiled and nodded. After all, she had been in the business world for so many years, and she was the type who understood things quickly. Indeed, with Rong Ling's skills tonight, it was absolutely impossible for him to have nothing!

"I think, I go see Youyou, it should be unaffected, right" Jiang mother smiled and looked at her husband.

Jiang Yichen nodded. Anyway, outsiders already knew that his wife only cared about the child. It was normal for her to rush to see the child after escaping unharmed.

When I think of the child, I also think of the child's mother.

Jiang Yichen thought about it and felt something was wrong.

"It seems that Rong Ling's relationship with Lin Meng is not as strained as rumored outside!"

Because his condition for intervening was to prevent them from harassing Lin Meng. He came, and even risked his life, all for Lin Meng. This clearly shows that he has Lin Meng in his heart. So why was he so intimate with Li Lanqiu! Could it really be because he's thinking about old feelings!

"That Li Lanqiu is such an oddball!" Jiang Chengfeng chimed in.

He also felt that something was wrong.

To this day, Jiang Yancheng has yet to tell his wife and children that Li Lanqiu is actually Wu Shengnan in disguise. But he suddenly thought of a way to quickly repay Rong Ling. He estimated that Rong Ling still didn't know about Wu Shengnan's disguise, so he would just expose it. Conveniently, he also had a reasonable excuse. Using tonight's incident as cover, he could frame Wu Shengnan as the suspect.

When the time comes, the police department will launch an investigation, and he will secretly work his magic once again. Wu Shengnan's identity will then be exposed without a struggle.

Upon thinking this through, he immediately told Jiang's mother and Jiang Chengfeng about Wu Shengnan. He didn't say too much, only explaining that he had discovered she wasn't the real Li Lanqiu but a plastic surgery case, and that he had threatened Li Lanqiu, which probably angered her. He was rather wary of that deadly oath, trying to avoid it as much as possible, after all, it involved his son's life.

Then, he called the police station, using the same story.

Tonight's case involving the Jiang family is a big one, with figures as high-profile as the Deputy Minister of Public Security and the head of the Serious Crime Unit. As soon as the police department heard about this, they immediately mobilized their forces to arrest Wu Shengnan.

To their surprise, they found upon arriving that Wu Shengnan had died, and it was possibly a suicide!

Why is this!

Jimmy Chiang is a bit hard to figure out!

But Wu Shengnan died in the house that Rong Ling bought for her. At that time, the house was still guarded by people from Rong Ling. Their relationship was well-known to be very close. Now she's dead, even if she really committed suicide, Rong Ling would be the first person investigated. When the time comes, Rong Ling, who is implicated in this matter but can't effectively clear his suspicion, will definitely become another powerful bargaining chip for the Kyoto families to suppress him!

No matter what, he has to protect Rong Ling first.

So, Jiang Yichen thought about it for a moment and immediately came to a preliminary conclusion about the death: Wu Shengnan was most likely suicide, that is, she committed suicide out of fear of guilt, in order to cover up what happened tonight!

I'm recommending a great article by my friend: 《蝕骨沉淪》http://www.xxx/info/394318.html

She was naked, shy and helpless as she bore his strength. Their lovemaking was passionate and consuming, melting her bones and stealing her soul. She blossomed for him, and he pledged to love her forever.

Actually, it wasn't just their first night. She gave him her everything, almost all of her first times, because he was the man she loved with every fiber of her being, a love that knew no bounds.

On the operating table, feeling that unformed life slowly flowing out of her body, she felt her own life coming to an end step by step.

For three years, over a thousand days and nights, her love for him never stopped, but grew deeper.

However, upon their reunion, she no longer existed in his memory.

She hid in the shadows, secretly watching his even more breathtakingly handsome face. Her heart was intoxicated, yet shattered at the same time.

A love that cuts to the bone, sinking into your very being. Who ultimately rises above, and who is destined to be lost beneath the wavesre to find me on purpose, didn't you!"There was a steady heartbeat, which suddenly quickened, then returned to its calmness. It was as if the moment of confusion had only been her illusion. But she ha...
