They just realized that their lady was missing. She came out with a basket of flowers and said that the roses in the yard were in full bloom and she wanted to pick some flowers. How could they dare to stop her?

Originally, they wanted to send a few security guards to go with her, but the lady said that she didn't like too many people and asked them not to follow. Although they didn't dare to stop her, they couldn't joke with the lady's personal safety, so they finally sent someone to follow.

Who knew that halfway through... the lady would either want to get a shovel or a kettle, which made them busy and run back and forth. The last time the lady said she wanted to get a book from the room, everyone was busy repelling insects for the lady's flowers, and in the end, only the people who followed Lin Man had to go upstairs to get the book.

I thought that with Liu Lin there, nothing would go wrong. But I didn't expect that when the security guard got the book back, he found Liu Lin fainted on the ground! And the lady... just disappeared!

They were scared to death! They immediately called everyone to go out and look for someone, but they searched everywhere! They still couldn't find the lady. At this moment, everyone lowered their heads and trembled. They were all carefully selected to come to Haicheng Manor, but they made a fatal mistake of underestimating the enemy.

They had originally thought that this was the heavily guarded Haicheng Manor and nothing would go wrong, but they had never expected that the lady, a living person, would disappear right under their noses!

Pei Yan had a blank expression on his face but a chill was all over his body. He Sheng did not dare to say much. He was the one who knew the inside story best. Just saying "missing" was already giving them face. It was clear that the lady... ran away on her own.

Although Han Ming was responsible for the security of the inner courtyard, his temples were beating violently. He had never seen Boss Pei use military tactics on a woman. Moreover, even if Boss Pei had treated his wife badly in the past, he was fine now, wasn't he? What else was there for her to be dissatisfied with?

She was well-dressed and lived in a nice house. After giving birth to Pei's child according to Mr. Pei's wishes, she could go out naturally and have a good career. But...

He Sheng sighed secretly. He couldn't understand his wife's thoughts now. Could it be... because of President Ji? President Pei went out to see President Ji, and his wife was afraid that President Pei would harm President Ji? He Sheng shuddered unconsciously, hoping that things would not be what he thought, otherwise...

Although He Sheng and Han Ming are competitors, they appreciate each other. He Sheng doesn't want him to be blamed, and for a long while, everyone waited quietly for the trial.

Pei Yan's eyes were dim and unclear. He clenched his hands slowly and said a line of words calmly, "Gather all the people and go find him."

Pei Yan's cold face at this moment was filled with anger that he could hardly suppress. His breathing stagnated and his clenched fists began to tremble because he was using too much force.

Why run away? He even left his official duties behind and stayed with her here. He also promised that as long as she gave birth to a child, he would take her out and make up for what he owed her!

Wasn't he good enough to her? In order to make her feel at ease, he even ignored Ji Ze's repeated attempts to deal with Pei Shi! What an ungrateful person! What Pei Yan wanted to do most at this moment was to teach this daring woman a lesson and let her know the consequences of angering him!

Pei Yan just moved and caught a glimpse of He Sheng beside him. There was silence all around him. He suddenly looked up and looked at the rainy day in front of him.

What's funny is that he was still concerned about the woman's safety even when he was so angry. Pei Yan's thin lips moved slightly and he slowly said, "Am I not good to her?"

He gave her exclusive love, left his official duties to live here with her, and even postponed many decisions until after the New Year, just because he was afraid that she would suddenly become pregnant and have morning sickness. She was indeed an ungrateful person who could never be tamed. He thought that when he found her, he would lock her up with an iron chain and then he would feel at ease.

Pei Yan's words... made He Sheng, as a subordinate, not know how to respond, "Maybe... Madam just thinks it's fun and wants to go out to relax, and she will be back in a few days."

Pei Yan snorted coldly, "She is very wild at heart." They are all ungrateful people who can never be tamed.

He Sheng was silent, and Pei Yan suddenly spoke up, "That woman had been quiet for so long, why did she suddenly react so violently?"

Pei Yan's voice suddenly turned cold. Although he didn't say anything else, He Sheng could understand what he meant. Just as he was about to speak, Pei Yan interrupted him and said, "Did you tell her that it was Ji Ze who started it first?" It was Ji Ze who bullied him first.

Changxun Street.

"Boss Ji, we lost the person..."

Ji Ze glanced at him and saw the man's face flushed and he lowered his head unconsciously. Everything was fine at first, but just as they were leaving Hai City, many vehicles suddenly appeared and dispersed them. He followed them all the way but eventually lost them. The man looked at Ji Ze in shame.

Ji Ze's eyes were calm, as if he had expected this to happen. "Don't blame yourself. Han Ming was driving the car. It's normal for you to lose him."

But Ji Ze didn't expect that Han Ming would actually come. It was getting more and more lively.

"By the way, Mr. Ji, although we didn't follow Mr. Pei's location, at the intersection three kilometers away from Haishi Highway, Han Ming's car, which had disappeared for an hour, suddenly reappeared, accompanied by many vehicles of the Pei Group. They seemed to be... looking for someone."

Ji Ze's eyes suddenly became serious. "Looking for someone?"

Lin Man had changed into a clean and neat sports outfit.

She tied her soft hair into a ponytail, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, looked at the gradually dimming sunlight, and looked at the map in her hand back and forth, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

She had been around the same place three times. Looking at the familiar broken tree, Lin Man had no choice but to sit down leaning against the trunk, took out a watering can from the flower basket, opened the lid of the can, and drank a few sips of water.

This was something she had prepared long ago. It was not water for watering flowers, but boiled drinking water. Lin Man looked at the homemade map, and her mind kept recalling the full picture of Haicheng Manor that she saw in Pei Yan's study.

Feeling slightly hungry, she took out the dry biscuits from the flower basket and swallowed them with water. Lin Man looked at the lush forest. If she could take the main road, the map would be more useful, but she didn't dare to take the main road...

She choked on a bite of biscuit and looked off into the distance with a calm gaze. Pei Yan should have noticed that she was missing by now...

The hillside was gradually getting colder. Lin Man rubbed her hands, squatted on the ground and looked quietly at the book in the flower basket. She had a lighter in her pocket and wanted to burn the book to warm it up, but if there was smoke in the jungle, it would undoubtedly expose her position immediately.

Lin Man took a deep breath and continued walking along the winding path. Suddenly, she saw the flashing street lights on the mountain road. It was a highway!

Lin Man's eyes lit up. She had finally found the right place! She took the small path on the mountain, avoiding all the roads, and walked to the entrance of the highway. Once she got out of here, she would be out of the scope of Haicheng Manor!

Throwing down the flower basket in her hand, Lin Man could not wait to run towards the highway entrance. Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed by, and countless car lights came on. Lin Man subconsciously raised her hand to block the light.

The sound of a high-speed engine resounded through the mountains and forests, startling countless birds into flying into the sky. A black Maybach was speeding towards her with no intention of slowing down.

Lin Man's pupils constricted. She knew she should dodge at this moment, but her feet felt like they were filled with lead. Her whole body was numb and she couldn't move!

The car lights flashed into her eyes, and Lin Man saw Pei Yan's horrifying face through the blurry windshield.

The fear in her heart was greater than the fear of death. Pei Yan wanted her to die...

Pei Yan….

Lin Man's lips moved, and all the tiny sounds around her seemed to be sucked into the engine and used as fuel.

The speeding car left a mark on the ground and stopped only an inch away from Lin Man.

Pei Yan opened the door and got out of the car, his cold and terrifying face was chilling, "Pei Yan, I..." Before Lin Man could finish her words, a group of people dragged her arm into the car. Lin Man felt pain and took a breath of cold air, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Pei Yan's gloomy face and swallowed all the words back.

Just a little bit... She had clearly seen the road! The car was speeding on the winding mountain road. Pei Yan said nothing but drove recklessly. He never slowed down along the way. Stones fell from the edge of the cliff and the car behind kept honking.

Only then did Lin Man realize that all the cars she had just seen on the road were from the Pei family!

She originally thought that after Pei Yan found out that she was missing, he would understand her attitude and would not do anything that would be inappropriate for him, but she didn't expect that he would actually send so many cars.

Fortunately...she had a backup plan.

Otherwise, he would be forced into a dead end. The wind whistled past his ears. Pei Yan held the steering wheel with both hands. The pointer on the dashboard was still accelerating. "Pei Yan, slow down. Do you want to die?"

This is not a road, there are cliffs on both sides. If you fall down, you will be smashed to pieces!

Pei Yan turned a deaf ear, his dark eyes filled with indifference.

"Stop it, are you crazy?" Lin Man's hand tightly grasped the door handle.

"Death? Are you still afraid of death?"

"If you're afraid of death, why are you running away?" Pei Yan's hand slammed hard on the center of the steering wheel, "Lin Man, you're just relying on my feelings for you!" The car was still accelerating slowly, and he seemed to be risking his life.

"So... are you ready to die with me now?" Lin Man tilted her head to look at Pei Yan, with a hint of calmness in her eyes.

It seemed that the desolation in Lin Man's voice made Pei Yan's eyebrows move. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, but his eyes were terrifyingly indifferent. "Die with you? You wish. I will make you regret everything you did today. Lin Man, I will let you know that no matter where you escape to, it's all in vain."

She almost vomited when the car braked suddenly. Before she could react, a fierce figure opened her car door and dragged her out!

"Pei Yan, calm down!" The servant lowered his head when he saw Lin Man. The next moment, Pei Yan kicked open a room and threw Lin Man onto the bed. Pei Yan had no expression on his face, and looked down at Lin Man with a cold brow. Seeing the movements of his hands, Lin Man was truly scared at this moment.

She quickly turned her head and shouted, "Pei Yan, I didn't want to run away. I was picking flowers in the garden when someone suddenly blocked my mouth. I struggled for a few times and lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, I was thrown into the wilderness."

Pei Yan lowered his head and looked at the face that was so close to him but full of lies. He couldn't help but want to cover her mouth. Otherwise, he was really afraid that one day he would not be able to control himself and want to strangle her to death.

"Really, I didn't lie to you. I was left in the woods, and I was afraid there might be snakes there, and I was afraid the kidnapper would suddenly come back. My legs were injured, and I was lost. I walked from day to sunset and didn't know where I was. I didn't dare to shout for help, because I was afraid someone would harm me and expose my location. I finally found a car and wanted to borrow a cell phone, but you wanted to hit me to death... and take my life."

Lin Man held her clothes tightly as she watched Pei Yan's pupils tremble. She had never even expected that people would be forced to unleash their unlimited potential in a critical moment.

She never thought that one day she would be able to tell lies so well. Pei Yan looked at her with deep eyes for a long time, and finally stopped. Lin Man shrank to the corner of the bed and watched him sitting on the bed and lighting a cigarette.

"Lin Man, can I still believe what you say? Should I believe what a liar who is full of lies says?"

Lin Man's heart trembled. She avoided Pei Yan's gaze and said, "You can go check it out."

Lin Man lied to Pei Yan that she had no psychological burden. It was he who forced her to stay here from the beginning. If Pei Yan knew that she ran away on her own, he would never let her go. She just used a white lie to protect herself.

Pei Yan didn't say anything, but just stared at her. Lin Man felt uncomfortable with him looking at her. "I'm hungry. I'm going to eat something."

Lin Man got up from the bed, but a hand suddenly blocked her way. She raised her head, and Pei Yan put out the cigarette. "Someone will bring it up to you."

The door was closed, and Lin Man knew that she was under "house arrest" by Pei Yan again.

Lin Man turned over and lay on the bed. The door was pushed open and Liu Lin walked in with a tray. "Madam, there is only the leftover porridge in the kitchen."

Lin Man sat up and stirred the colorless and tasteless porridge with a spoon. Ever since Pei Yan's attitude towards her became ambiguous, even her treatment had been downgraded.

Lin Man drank a few sips and put it down. Liu Lin reached for the plate and was about to take it away when Lin Man asked, "Why?"

Liu Lin paused.

Lin Man looked at her and asked, "Why did you let me go and then betray me?"

Six hours ago...

Lin Man was about to climb over the wall when a familiar voice sounded from behind her, "Madam, are you still going to leave?"

Liu Lin was standing at the foot of the wall, holding the book she had taken from the study to get rid of her. "Can you get out with just a map?"

Lin Man concealed the light in her eyes. She didn't expect Liu Lin to notice her actions, and even know that she had stolen things from Pei Yan's room.

"Are you going to stop me?"

Lin Man's hand quietly reached for the anesthetic needle behind her waist, which she had found in the medicine box. The Pei family's medicine box was very complete.

Liu Lin's eyes darkened, "Madam, you are no match for me, don't waste your energy, I'm not here to stop you."

"You didn't stop me?" Lin Man frowned slightly, "Why?"
