"Take off that bag." was the order that had come from a middle-aged man.

Mi Rong closed her eyes and soothed her breathing as if she was asleep. There were footsteps that came closer towards her; it had echoed in the room before the bag was taken off her face.

The black bag was finally taken off, revealing her sleeping face. 

Mr Li Jian had to slightly tilt himself to see her face more clearly. His brows became slightly knitted. Such a young person who had already practised kidnapping another person. Well, now she had been kidnapped herself, sigh.

"Wake her up." Mr Li Jian spoke coldly.

"Yes, sir." The secretary then went outside. He then came back with a bucket full of water and was heading straight to the young lady.

Meanwhile, Mi Rong had been listening carefully to what was happening and could hear the droplets of water falling on the floor. She almost woke herself because of the thought of water being splashed on her face. Nope, that was not going to happen today.

All of a sudden, Mi Rong began coughing mildly and then proceeded to shake her head slightly as if to clear the confusion. Finally, she added a big sneeze to end her acting of waking up. Her head was raised up gradually and her eyes were blinking as if to adjust her eyesight.

On the other hand, Mr Li Jian had been watching his captive closely. He held his hand out to tell his secretary that the bucket was not needed and that he was to leave. The secretary bowed to his boss and took the bucket away.

The door was shut and all who were left in the room was Mi Rong and Mr Li Jian. The middle-aged man watched as the young lady on the chair was adjusting her sight to see better in this dimly lit. While she had raised her head up, he began to feel that she was very familiar as if he had seen her before but when?Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"Who are you?" The young lady spoke full of wariness. However, the more he looked at her, there seemed to be no fear or timidness in her facial expression, but only full-on guard. Hm, very well, such a daring young lady.

Well, it was never in Mi Rong's blood to be fearful, so that was not executed out in her performance to her kidnapper. Despite having very good eyesight, she could not distinguish this person's face and could only see the vague outline of his figure.

Finally, they have met.

"Young lady," Mr Li Jian spoke slowly, "I should be the one asking, where is my wife?" His voice was deep and full of the charisma of a middle-aged man. Nevertheless, Mi Rong had no other impression of aunty's wife other than being a jerk who finally realised he threw a gem for a rock.

Mi Rong chuckled, "Do you think you deserve to know where she is?"

"And do you think you deserve to keep her away from me? Who are you and what is my wife's business to you anyways, hm?" Mr Li Jian spoke back almost immediately.


Nevertheless, Mi Rong merely smiled, "Since we have already come to this point, I will not keep this away from you anymore, your beloved wife was actually the one who had contacted me first and it was not a kidnap at all." Mi Rong spoke the word 'beloved' with such a mocking tone that Mr Li Jian could not help but furrow his brows.

However, this…his wife wanted to get away from him?

Mi Rong recalled the day she met aunty, "I still remember the day I met her, it was at this event and she was all dressed up beautifully in a purple dress but was full of bruises, like a bruised flower. Do you think you would remember, hm?" On that day she had wondered who could have hurted aunty and she could not think of anyone else but this person.

However, Mr Li Jian was deadly quiet. He spoke nothing back and Mi Rong could not see him moving the slightest bit in the dark. Hmph, probably just coming to his realization.

Mi Rong scoffed and then continued, "Was she not disrespected by you and your beloved mistress?"

In the darkness, Mr Li Jian stood there with a realization tumbling all over him. This young lady wasn't she the one who danced with his son in the Feng family's celebration!? It must be, the only event that his wife had gone out was none other than that celebration.

In his silence, he felt like it was a blow to him. Didn't his son favour this girl and she also liked him? Well, all the reports that his men had said so, then why was he engaging with Xue Li? At first, Jun Kai had been rejecting it or even postponing the engagement, but now his good son had already accepted the engagement with the Li family, but was this young lady, not the one he liked? Meanwhile, this young lady looked like she had no clue of what was going on since she showed no signs of being broken-hearted.

Mr Li Jian began to feel bad about this. Jun Kai ah, Jun Kai, what on earth are you planning to do, tut tut. This, he would have to leave it be. He never could understand this son of his. 

On the other hand, Mi Rong was still teaching the person in front of her, "What I want to make you understand here is that the treatment you have done in the past, it will never be erased that easily. However, there is always hope and this second chance that you are seeking, you must earn up for it. The only one who can give you this second chance is aunty and whether or not she forgives you is her choice. If she chooses not to, then please respect her decision and part ways with her. So, out of my heart for aunty and only for aunty, I will give her and you the chance to make your final decisions. Running away will not help aunty, but I hope this confrontation between you and aunty will go well." 

After speaking, Mi Rong felt her throat became all dry. Sigh, she truly spoke out too much, tch.

She was only looking at the bigger picture. Since aunty was still lovesick, she did not want aunty to have any regrets. At least, aunty should decide herself and the other side should know it as well. This way, aunty can freely be free.

Meanwhile, Mr Li Jian's lips hooked up. This girl, haha, truly daring. What a girl Ru Yin had found for their son, hm? Calling Ru Yin aunty, then shouldn't he be called uncle? If his wife saw what was in this girl and could rely on this young lady, then she was truly capable for her young age; being able to capture his wife and keep her safe and hidden away from him and even Jun Kai. 

However, had she not told Jun Kai? The other day, his son had come barging in his house looking for his mother. Then again, what if his son had found out that she had taken Ru Yin away. Would his son blame this girl and took the engagement in with a swift of emotions? Aya, if it like so, this would be bad...

Nevertheless, the more he thought about it, he began to become more fond of this young lady. She seemed like a good match for his son…

If she were to become his daughter in law, then he truly would not mind it. She seemed to be wise enough, even giving him a lecture, haha. However, his complicated son was truly complicated for him. He was too old for this.

Mr Li Jian raised up his watch, sigh, it was almost time for the engagement…maybe, well, at least, he should help them out too. Since she gave him the chance to confront with his wife, he would her the chance to confront Jun Kai and work it out together.

He straightened his back that had been lying on the wall in the darkness, "This chance that you will give to me, I am grateful. Now, please, where is my wife."

Mi Rong took out her arms from the rope slowly. The ropes that had been tying her became loose and fell on the floor. 

Mr Li Jian was shocked, how did she get out from those ropes? Unless he squinted his eyes and saw her putting a shiny metal away in her sleeves. Haha, she was truly prepared. On the thought of this, it seemed to him that this was all her plan from the beginning. She simply wanted to let him and Ru Yin talk it out first before finally coming to a decision, was it not? 

A soft smile appeared on his face. This young lady, she has a good heart, but truly her methods are very despicable. How she can think of all this alone is amazing.

"Aunty is at Chengfang park. Go to the aquarium, she should be around there. If not, someone will take you to see her." Mi Rong spoke as she untied the ropes bounding her legs casually, once she was done, she stood to her tall height, "Here is the invitation, show it to the reception and they will take you there." She placed a small red invitation on the chair that she had been sitting.

"I have some business to take care of, so you will have to go see aunty yourself." Then, her sharp eyes stared straight through the figure in the darkness, "Don't waste this chance I gave to you."

Mi Rong then looked away indifferently and headed to the door while the other figure showed no signs of stopping her.

However, just as she was about to pull the door open, the voice came through the darkness.

"Young lady, since you have helped me. I also want to help you with something. Now, I have one question, do you not want to know who I am before you leave?" Mr Li Jian threw one last question to Mi Rong.
