Shen Xi found herself once again squeezed between two men in black. It was only at this moment that she realized these people were not sent by Qin Si Ye.
Talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
Why was she so unlucky today?
But then, why had they saved her earlier?
Raising her eyes, Shen Xi looked sharply at the tall man opposite her and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? Why did you grab me?"
The man merely glanced at her calmly and said nothing.
"Why aren't you talking? What do you want by capturing me?"
"Who is your master?"
"Speak up. Even if I'm going to die, I want to die with clarity."
...
However, no matter how much Shen Xi spoke or how many questions she asked along the way, those men remained silent.
It wasn't until she stood up in frustration that the tall man pushed her back down and said one sentence.
"You'll know when we get there."
The car drove fast, making several sharp turns, and finally stopped at a disused power plant far from the city.
Two men in black, one on each side, escorted Shen Xi into a room on the second floor.
The room contained only a table and two chairs. The plaster on the walls had peeled off in many places.
This place must not have been visited by anyone for a long time.
Looking at everything around her, Shen Xi felt a chill run through her body and shivered involuntarily.
She slowly sat down on the chair, her hands clasped tightly together.
Who had brought her here, and what did they want?
She wondered if Qin Si Ye had tracked her here.
She felt conflicted. She wanted him to rescue her, yet she didn't.
As she had been escorted in, she noticed that besides the men in the car, there were guards on every floor and in front of every door.
It was like a tightly woven net.
If Qin Si Ye came alone, it would be difficult for him to rescue her from here.
He might even get trapped himself.
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside.
Shen Xi stood up abruptly, looking at the man before her in surprise, "Brother Kai Cheng, how are you here?"
At this moment, the door was gently closed by the men in black outside.
Song Kai Cheng stared directly at her and slowly walked towards her, saying, "Sit."
His gaze seemed ordinary, yet Shen Xi detected a hint of disappointment and sorrow in it.
She suddenly understood everything and glanced at the door, covering her mouth in disbelief. "So, the people outside are all your subordinates?"
Song Kai Cheng sat down unhurriedly on the chair opposite her, his eyes fixed on her with a chilling gaze. "Xi Xi, how many things are you hiding from me? How long do you plan to keep hiding them?"
Judging by his expression and words, he already knew that Qin Si Ye had arrived here.
"No. Brother Kai Cheng, I... I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just didn't want you two to meet. I was afraid it would... again..."
Shen Xi didn't deny it. Stuttering, she was about to tell him her thoughts when he abruptly interrupted her.
"Enough, Xi Xi, don't try to argue anymore.
The night you arrived, you met him privately at my doorstep. It's a grave insult to me.
Also, you let him live in your home without any scruples. Was that also because you were afraid of us meeting?
That day, your water pipe broke, and I pushed aside my engagements to rush over and help. Was he upstairs then?"
Song Kai Cheng let out a self-deprecating chuckle, his eyes turning red. "I must have interrupted your meeting when I went there, right?"
After saying these words, he unconsciously clutched his injured arm, closed his eyes tightly, and felt as though his heart were bleeding.
Hearing this, Shen Xi trembled slightly. She hadn't expected that he had already investigated all of this.
So, this afternoon, he had already guessed that the person she was going to see was Qin Si Ye, which was why he had agreed so easily. He had wanted to catch them red-handed.
"Brother Kai Cheng, I'm sorry. I truly didn't know things would turn out this way. I also didn't expect him to suddenly chase after me, and I had nowhere to stay, so I..." Shen Xi didn't know how to explain it to him and was momentarily speechless.
"Nowhere to stay?" Song Kai Cheng couldn't help but let out a light laugh. "His business spans the globe. Would a billionaire be so down on his luck that he has nowhere to stay? I think he's deliberately putting on a pathetic act for you."
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the room.
Song Kai Cheng said a cold word, "Enter."
A man in black pushed open the door and said respectfully, "Mr. Song, the person you are waiting for has arrived."
