Hearing this, Leng Xunze was not surprised and spoke again, "You cannot interfere with my marriage from now on."
Leng Xue finally understood that Leng Xunze's condition from the beginning was this. The matter of Ou Ziqing was just a smokescreen.
She said coldly, "Leng Xunze, I let you manage the company because I recognize your ability, but I need to consider the matter of Wen Yan."
Leng Xunze's expression darkened. "Then let's talk when you've figured it out."
As he spoke, he walked towards the door.
Seeing Leng Xunze's confident demeanor, Leng Xue frowned.
If the company continued to drag on, it might really fail.
But Wen Yan, she really didn't want her to enter the Leng family.
The gap in their family backgrounds was too vast. The matriarch could not be such a woman.
As Leng Xunze walked out of the hall, Leng Bai Rui's voice reached his ears, "Brother, you're back. Did you talk it over with Mom?"
He glanced at her. "No, where have you been?"
Leng Bai Rui smiled and said, "I went to see Sister Na. Brother, I think Sister Na is more suitable for you."
"I know better than anyone who is most suitable for me," Leng Xunze said, leaving with determination.
He walked out of the courtyard and wanted to call Wen Yan, but found that no one answered.
After two consecutive attempts, his eyes darkened, and he dialed Yuan Jiamiao's number. "Have your people investigate Wen Yan's whereabouts."
Yuan Jiamiao teased, "Xunze, you miss Wen Yan so much after just one day apart. This isn't like you."
"Stop the nonsense and hurry up," Leng Xunze ordered, quickly walking to his car and opening the door.
Yuan Jiamiao also became serious. "Xunze, what happened to Wen Yan?"
Leng Xunze explained, "Her phone is unreachable."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiamiao agreed, "I'll have someone check immediately and get back to you with news as soon as possible."
"Okay."
He hung up the phone and drove away quickly.
In a hotel.
Ou Ziqing sat on the sofa, her gaze fixed on the other sofa, and said in a deep voice, "Patriarch Feng, what do you think of the conditions I proposed?"
The man on the sofa pondered for a moment and replied with some disbelief, "Are you sure you can handle this?"
Being able to annex the Song family would be a good choice.
Ou Ziqing smiled, stood up, and a cold smile curved her lips. "Since I said so, I naturally have my methods. You just need to tell me your decision."
With the Feng family's backing, he would be able to do things more conveniently.
The man nodded. "Alright, as long as you can get the Song family involved, I will agree to cooperate with you."
Ou Ziqing's eyebrows rose slightly. "Good, then Patriarch Feng, please wait for my news."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Leng Bai Chuan called him. "Dad, Mom asked me to leave the company."
Ou Ziqing's expression changed slightly. "You withdraw from the company now, go apologize to Leng Xunze, and find a way to make Leng Xunze open the box. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Leng Bai Chuan did not understand and was a little displeased. "Why should I apologize to Leng Xunze?"
He didn't want to. He hadn't defeated Leng Xunze yet, and now he had to apologize. This was absolutely impossible.
Ou Ziqing explained, "This is just a temporary show of weakness. That box might contain something we need. Just listen to me, and I'll arrange the rest."
If it weren't for his concern for Leng Xue, he would have dealt with Leng Xunze long ago.
Leng Bai Chuan remained silent and finally compromised reluctantly. Then he remembered something and said, "Dad, you can carry out your plan, but you cannot involve Mom."
Ou Ziqing's eyes darkened. "Okay."
As long as Leng Xunze was eliminated, he wouldn't have to worry so much.
He hung up the phone and sent a message to Song Hua: You can make your move.
...
Wen Yan saw the two men standing nearby. She suddenly shouted, "Ouch, ouch."
Hearing the commotion, the two men walked up to her. One of them asked, "What are you shouting about?"
She put on a pained expression. "My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet."
The man looked at her. "Let me tell you, don't try any tricks!"
Wen Yan continued to shout, "What tricks am I playing? My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet, and I can't hold it anymore."
The man was still hesitant. The other man said, "Let her go. The two of us can still catch her."
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Wen Yan shouted even louder, while trying to make the two men relax. "Look, there's a cliff right outside. Even if I wanted to run, there's nowhere to go! And you're watching me, how can I run? I really need to go to the toilet."
This time, the man finally relented. "Alright, go ahead. Untie her, and you go with her."
The other man responded, "Okay."
Wen Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The man walked up to her and untied her ropes. She rubbed her wrists and saw that her slender white wrists were already red from being bound.
The man, seeing her dawdling, coldly warned, "Don't waste time, hurry up."
As he spoke, he even pushed her.
Wen Yan stumbled. She bit her lip. The two of them walked out of the room. When the glaring sunlight fell on her, her mood improved slightly.
She glanced at her surroundings and then walked to a patch of weeds. She said, "I'll go there."
The man saw the surrounding cliffs and nodded. "Hurry up."
Wen Yan hummed and walked into the grass, placing her phone aside. She looked back and analyzed the situation. To escape, she could only jump off the cliff. She could roll down from behind, but she didn't know what the environment below was like.
Just as she squatted down and took a few steps back, the man's voice rang out, "Are you done yet?"
Wen Yan smiled and replied, "Not yet, almost."
She thought for a moment, typed a few words on her phone, and then set it to record, playing every minute.
Afterward, she slowly prepared to descend to the bottom of the cliff using the vines.
Wen Yan grabbed a vine and slowly slid down. To avoid alerting the man, she slid very quickly.
Then, she looked down and saw layers of white mist shrouding the area, making it impossible to see the situation below.
After a while, she heard the angry voices of two men from above her. "Damn it, we've been tricked! This woman is really cunning. She actually used her phone to fool me!"
"The boss has sent a message, telling us to deal with that woman and hurry to find her. She must have slid down the vines. Let's hurry down and look for her."
"There are ferocious beasts down there. Isn't it too dangerous for us to go down?"
"What are you babbling about? If you don't complete the mission, the boss will throw you down."
Wen Yan heard this and knew that the two men were about to slide down the vines. She sped up.
After a while, she finally reached the bottom of the cliff and then heard the sound of water not far away.
Wen Yan immediately had an idea and walked towards the sound. Suddenly, something on the ground scratched her foot, causing her to turn pale with pain and groan.
