During the day, Lu Wanting was in a luxurious and exquisite villa, and when her grandmother told her that this was her new home, she felt that everything that happened was as incredible as Cinderella wearing a crystal slipper.

She stared at the tip of her shoe, this pair of nude high heels was bought by Xiao Zi when the mall was on sale, and then accidentally scratched a scratch the size of a small thumb nail on the tip of the shoe, and her bag, which had a loose shoulder strap, and she sewed it with a needle and thread herself.

Even with such frugality, the pressure of living in this big city overwhelmed her and made her unsympathetic. She is a down-to-earth girl, never fantasizing about things that are out of reach, and then when they really appear in front of her, what she feels most strongly is that she is out of place with her surroundings.

She believed that it was God's favor, and she didn't expect that if it weren't for her kind heart, there would be no scene of eating fish with her grandmother, and there would be no scene chatting with her grandmother in the exquisitely decorated living room.

Grandma's palms were warm, and they covered the back of her hand to give her the feeling that her grandmother had ever given.

At noon, she made fish for her grandmother, which tasted the same as that day, and her grandmother kept praising her good craftsmanship to Chen Bowen.

After eating, Chen Bowen proposed that their family has a double-storey old house in the west of the city, and everyone can live there temporarily, grandma has been in poor health in recent years, and it is far away from the city, and the air quality is slightly better, after Lu Wanting marries in the door, she can often accompany her grandmother and take good care of her.

He knew in his heart that this had always been his grandmother's wish, so his grandmother would definitely not object.

In this way, he asked his grandmother to pack her luggage briefly, and then drove Lu Wanting back to her rental house to pack her things.

The old house was bought by my grandmother when her predecessors had just started their business, and after the family business grew, they moved to this high-end community. The Chen brothers were taken by their grandmother to play for a few days when they were young, and they never set foot in this old building again, but their grandmother specially instructed them to hire someone to clean and take care of the house.

On the way to the rental house, Chen Bowen always faintly felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, and he also felt this way when he entered and exited the community in the past two days, he didn't think so at first, until he learned that Chen Zhongwu was kidnapped, this feeling became more and more intense.

He hoped that he was too sensitive, and if he was really being followed by the kidnappers, it was also because the kidnappers were not at ease with them, secretly monitoring them, and fearing that they would call the police.

Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, in this matter, he told himself that he must pay attention to the movements around him, and any unusual feeling he had would not be groundless.

Lu Wanting crossed her fingers and thought about what she would bring when she arrived at the rental house, what she would leave for Xiaozi, and what to buy again, the more she talked, the more excited she became, completely in the mood of decorating a new home.

Chen Bowen poured a basin of cold water on her and told her that the old house was left to them by her deceased grandfather, and that her grandmother had kept it there because she was reluctant, so she only needed to bring clothes, and all the furniture and daily necessities in it were all available.

He couldn't reveal too much about the Chen family's other things, and even her husband had to continue to hide the fact that her husband was the CEO of the Chen family, because it was a well-known thing in the industry that the Chen company was run by the two Chen brothers, and if she knew about it, things would only get worse and worse.

He proposed that the whole family move to the old house, in fact, there is another hidden reason, not just so that Lu Wanting can be temporarily isolated from the outside world and hinder her sources.

Let grandma feel at ease is also one of the reasons, grandparents and grandchildren get along harmoniously every day, happy, grandma will gradually forget about Chen Zhongwu's affairs, even if it is occasionally mentioned, it will be easier for him to prevaricate, after all, it is far away from the company, even if grandma has to go to the company in person, she has sufficient time to prepare.

The last and most important reason is that he can easily find a reason not to go home, and then stay alone in the villa in the suburbs, calm down and think about Chen Zhongwu's affairs, and then quietly launch a rescue operation.

For now, that's all he can do, where the next footprint should be, he doesn't know the bottom of his heart at all, and in the face of this kind of problem that doesn't even have an option, he can only take one step at a time.

Under Lu Wanting's guidance, he slowly drove the car into an alley and found a parking space to park in steadily.

"You wait here for me, I'll be back soon." She jumped out of the car and slid briskly into a nondescript gate next to her.

She rented a small two-bedroom apartment with Xiaozi in March last year, and she remembers that the floral wallpaper on the walls was pasted by them all night. Xiao Zi, who was stationed at the bar, had already turned day and night upside down, and at this time she should have had lunch and taken a nap to recharge her batteries for the night battle.

Lu Wanting opened the door softly and went in, dragging out her suitcase, which was full of clothes, cosmetics, and books. There was a red skirt in the box, Xiao Zi liked it very much, she took it out again, and put it next to Xiao Zi's pillow that was sleeping.

She is finally about to get rid of the hard life of living in a rental house, and Xiaozi has to continue to run for life, she softened, and left a message on the sticky note "I'm leaving, I'll look for you when I settle down", pressed under her skirt.

On the dining table, the expensive chicken bowl still contained pickles, and she carefully picked it up and poured the pickles into the lunch box that Xiao Zi had placed on the table at noon. I wanted to rinse it, but I was afraid that Chen Bowen would wait downstairs for too long, so I carefully wrapped it in a flannel cloth and put it in my bag.

Before going out, she turned around and glanced back at the room where she had been staying for more than a year, before reluctantly closing the door and leaving.

When the three of them came to the old house in the west of the city, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and they could have arrived half an hour earlier, on the way, Lu Wanting was also very worried that Chen Bowen would be late for work, and his salary would be deducted by the boss, so he insisted on taking a taxi with his grandmother, but he coped with it with a simple "It's okay", and grandma only laughed and said nothing.

"When I met the construction team on the road today, I spared the long way." After the car stopped in front of the old house, he explained, but the real reason was to get rid of the surveillance.

"I mean, it didn't feel that far before." Grandma was helped out of the car by Lu Wanting.

She ignored his explanation, although she had been talking to her grandmother in the car, and the two chatted happily, but she was not so stupid as to sit in the car and not look out, allowing herself to be taken to turn left and right.

She only thought about it as if she was thinking too much about it, and she didn't break him. Grandma pulled her into the rusty old gate, while she excitedly pulled Chen Bowen, who was carrying luggage behind her, as if she was the mistress of the house.

After everything was settled, Chen Bowen drove to the company again. With twenty minutes to go, the feeling of being watched reappeared, and he made a bold decision to call Xiao Li and ask him what the name of his uncle, who worked at the Public Security Bureau, and then turn around at the next intersection and drive the car to the police station in the opposite direction of the company.

He walked into the gate of the police station and asked the officer standing guard if Sergeant Li was there, and only after receiving an affirmative answer did he walk in.

After finding Sheriff Li, he took out a cigarette and handed it to him, Sergeant Li resolutely refused to accept it without knowing it, he told Sergeant Li that he was Xiao Li's colleague, and this cigarette was passed by the police station, so he helped Xiao Li bring it a little. Sergeant Lee was suspicious, and he left the police station after a while of greetings.

Not long after he came out, he received a text message from an unknown number: "Don't play tricks with me, I know more than you think, your brother's life is in my hands." ”

Sure enough, they were followed, but fortunately, they took a long detour on the way to the old house to get rid of them. He sweated for this risky behavior, but he didn't feel wrong to finally enlist.

When he called back again, the other party couldn't get through. He began to worry a little, did he really let his grandmother and Lu Wanting safely out of the kidnappers' sight?

Chen Bowen was busy until more than 10 o'clock in the evening before returning home, and he did not drive, but took a taxi back.

On the first night, the young couple who had only received a marriage certificate and had not yet officially married were concerned about the old people at home, and decided to sleep in separate rooms, but as soon as he came back, he went into the study, and two hours later, the desk lamp in the study was still on, the fluorescence of the computer screen hit Chen Bowen's haggard and thin face, and the frames of gold-rimmed glasses roamed with a cold light.

Lu Wanting tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, she lay on the soft double bed with her arms outstretched, the position next to her was no temperature, cold, she buried her head in the pillow and sniffed it hard, it was a fresh and unfamiliar smell.

There was a clear chirping of insects outside the window, there was no moonlight, and the heavy milky white curtains blocked out the thick darkness outside. She couldn't help curling up, surrounded by a faint loneliness, and although her body had left her simple and inexpensive cabin, her heart seemed to remain there.

She got up to go downstairs to drink water, and when she passed by the study, she saw the light on inside, and when she went in, she saw him staring at the computer screen with a solemn expression.

"It's really hard, you must be late for work in the afternoon, and your boss will punish you for working overtime to catch up with work." She suddenly appeared behind him, muttering quietly.

"What are you doing?" He was startled and quickly clicked the red close button in the top right corner of the browser, and before she could see the contents, all she could see was a monotonous desktop wallpaper.

"Don't look at it, I'm not uncommon to see it." She feigned anger and left the study. But not long after leaving, Chen Bowen heard a woman's scream outside.
