Those deep eyes gently swept across the mottled marks on the fair skin, and a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed through his heart.

His gaze slowly moved upwards and stopped at the fair, slender neck. A circle of eye-catching purple bruises was shocking.

Fu Chaoge stretched out his hand involuntarily, but stopped abruptly when it was about to touch Chen Shu's neck, as if being pulled back by an invisible force.

He stared at Chen Shuo, who was sleeping with a frown on her face, for a long time before he gently covered her with a blanket. He then picked up the clothes scattered on the floor, and his tall figure silently left the bedroom and walked into the quiet study.

In the study, Fu Chaoge quickly dialed a number, and the other party picked up quickly. "How is the situation going? Good, immediately file a lawsuit against those irresponsible newspapers and media."

After giving a brief and powerful instruction, he hung up the phone, rubbed his hand holding the phone gently against the window, his eyes penetrating the night, deep and complex.

When Chen Shuo slowly opened his eyes, it was already late at night. The moonlight was like water, filling the entire bedroom, adding a bit of coolness.

She stared at the ceiling in a daze, then sat up with difficulty. The pain in her body made her frown slightly.

Under the moonlight, the bedroom seemed particularly empty and lonely. She wrapped herself in the quilt, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

Just then, a sudden cell phone ring broke the silence in the room and interrupted her thoughts.

She looked down at the bag on the ground, where the ringing sound came from.

Chen Shu was stunned for a moment, then dragged his tired body to the bed, the marks on his long legs faintly visible in the moonlight.

She took out her cell phone from her bag, saw the caller ID, her heart tightened, and she quickly answered the call.

"Chen Shuo, you're not playing any tricks, are you?" Li Chuyue's voice on the other end of the phone was a little cold and threatening.

"Li Chuyue, I have done what you said. How is my father now?" Chen Shu's voice was full of anxiety.

"Don't worry, your father is fine. I read the report and it was really unexpected. However, it seems that you have not completely escaped Fu Chaoge's control yet?" There was an obvious threat in Li Chuyue's words.

Chen Shu held the phone tightly in her hand. Under the moonlight, her eyes sparkled with determination.

"Li Chuyue, I will keep my word. But if you delay any longer and don't release my dad, I can't guarantee that Fu Chaoge won't find out what you've done. You should know better than me what the consequences will be."

"Are you threatening me?" Li Chuyue sneered, "Chen Shu, don't forget, your father's life is in my hands now, you can only obey me."

"That's right, but my dad is not an ordinary person. If the news of his disappearance spreads within three days, someone will definitely notice something is wrong. How long can you keep it a secret?"

When Chen Shu said this, her tone was firm and without any hesitation. She was now taking a gamble, betting that Li Chuyue did not have enough courage to provoke Fu Chaoge, let alone hurt her father Chen Yusheng.

After waiting for a long time, there was dead silence on the other end of the phone, as if even the breathing had disappeared.

Chen Shuo endured the pain in his body, barely found a piece of clothing to put on, and tidied himself up.

Just as she finished tidying up, Li Chuyue's voice came from the other end of the phone again, with a bit of helplessness: "Okay, I will let your father go, but you have to leave here as soon as possible."

Chen Shu sneered and responded, "Even if I don't leave now, I won't pose a threat to you."

"What do you mean? Do you want to stay?" Li Chuyue's voice suddenly became sharp, revealing a sense of anger and unwillingness.

Facing Li Chuyue's roar, Chen Shuo remained calm and indifferent: "My relationship with Fu Chaoge has deteriorated to the extreme, but I will naturally do what I said."

"You'd better do what you say, otherwise, if I can tie up Chen Yusheng once, I can tie him up a second time!" Li Chuyue's voice was full of threats.

When Chen Shu heard this, her fingers tightened involuntarily, and the phone was almost crushed, but she still forced herself not to lose control.

Li Chuyue hung up the phone without even waiting for her response.

Chen Shuo stared at the hung up phone, feeling extremely anxious.

Li Chuyue did not reveal her father's exact location, so how could she find him? She was about to make another call when there was a sudden noise at the bedroom door.

Chen Shu quickly stuffed his phone under his pillow and pretended to be calm.

Fu Chaoge walked in with a plate of food, his face still gloomy, as if he would explode at any time. He coldly spat out two words: "Eat."

Chen Shuo took the plate carefully, trying to make his movements look natural.

However, Fu Chaoge turned around and was about to leave after she took the plate. Before leaving, he suddenly turned back and looked at her and said, "I've canceled David's play for you. Don't even think about going anywhere during this period."

With a muffled "bang", the bedroom door was slammed shut again. The sound of locking the door was particularly harsh in the quiet air.

Chen Shuo took the food tray and took two steps forward, but finally stood there stiffly, feeling mixed emotions.

Chen Shu was locked up by Fu Chaoge. Every day, meals were delivered to her room. Except for eating, she could only stay in the bedroom and could not go anywhere.

The cell phone had long been out of battery, and the charging cable had been hidden away by Fu Chaoge, so she couldn't find it even if she tried.

Chen Shuo was particularly concerned about Chen Yusheng. He wondered whether he had returned home safely, and he was even more worried that he would be bullied by that bad woman Li Chuyue again.

However, she hadn't seen Fu Chaoge for a long time, so she had no way to find out the situation, and it might even make Fu Chaoge suspicious.

She could only sit on the floor beside the bed, hugging her knees with her hands, staring out the window in a daze.

Just then, there was a sudden noise from the bedroom door. Chen Shu thought it was someone delivering food, so he didn't turn around.

But the footsteps were getting closer and closer. She turned around and saw that it was Fu Chaoge, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Chen Shu wanted to stand up to greet him, but he was too weak in the past few days and his wrists had no strength at all, so he had to give up.

Fu Chaoge said coldly: "Get up and eat."

His voice was still as cold as ice in winter, chilling to the heart.

I was so innocent and loved her so much before.

Chen Shu ignored him and continued staring out the window.

Seeing her like this, Fu Chaoge thought that she refused to eat or drink because of the man named Sang Yue, and he immediately became furious.

He walked over, pulled Chen Shu up from the ground, and said fiercely: "Chen Shu, I warn you, even if you starve to death, I will not let you go to find that man Sang Yue!"

Chen Shu didn't even raise her eyelids when she heard this. Her mind was full of Chen Yusheng's affairs, so she had no mood to eat.

But seeing her like this, Fu Chaoge got even angrier. He pulled her to the table, pressed her down on the sofa and said, "Eat! If you don't eat, don't even think about going out in your life!"
