Jin Yang pounded the desk angrily. “Are you my guard or Jin Tao’s?”

There had always been whispers in the capital’s political world. Although Jin Yang seemed to have real power and many political achievements, Jin Tao was in close contact with many high-ranking officials. His spies were even hidden in the official residence, and Jin Yang’s actions were directly reported to him.

Shao An was shocked and immediately went to get the information.

The study room was filled with silence and an oppressive atmosphere. Jin Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at his reflection in the French windows. He slowly adjusted his breathing. Through the glass, he saw Qiu Tong sitting in the passenger seat of the SUV. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he regained his rationality.

The butler rushed over when he heard that the president had returned.

He had been taking care of Jin Yang’s daily life in the official residence. After all these years, he already treated Jin Yang as his own child.

The butler was holding a glass of the tea that Jin Yang usually drank. Seeing Jin Yang’s thin appearance, the butler asked with concern, “How long will you be back this time?”

Jin Yang sipped his tea and patted the butler’s shoulder apologetically. “I’m leaving tonight. Please take care of the official residence for me.”

The butler nodded and was about to say something when Shao An walked over quickly with the printed information.

Jin Yang and Shao An didn’t linger on and started to leave. The butler seemed to have thought of something and returned to the second floor to get a pillow. “Sir, please wait!”

The butler chased after Jin Yang and handed it to him. “You have never been able to sleep well outside. Since you are away so often, bring this with you!”

Jin Yang thanked the butler and gestured at Shao An to take the pillow. At this moment, Qiu Tong had received Ke Le’s call. She knew what had happened at home and wished she could fly back quickly. She pushed open the car door wanting to find Jin Yang, but the two of them bumped into each other. She grabbed Jin Yang’s arm and stuffed him into the car.

The butler looked at Qiu Tong’s back profile from afar and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

The woman looked strangely familiar!

She looked very much like Jin Yang’s fiancée!

The butler wanted to run over and take a closer look, but the car sped away. He shook his head and muttered to himself, “Impossible, how could it be her?”

Shao An floored the accelerator and the car sped down the highway towards the airport.

Qiu Tong gave a simple description of the situation. Jin Yang’s expression was equally gloomy and terrifying, as if frost was forming on his face.

Jin Yang recalled the time when Chen Jia appeared and her strange actions. His eagle-like eyes shot out a cold glint that was terrifying.

Qiu Tong kept in constant communication with Ke Le. She asked tentatively, “What do you know about Chen Jia?”

“Could she have been sent by some outside force and is in cahoots with those people who want to kidnap Ye Luan?”

Jin Yang shook his head, denying Qiu Tong’s judgment.

A light rain started to fall from the sky. The constant patter of the rain irritated him.

Jin Yang clenched his fists. “If Chen Jia’s target is Ye Luan, why would she go to our bedroom to look for things?”

“No matter what she wants to do and who sent her, we will be able to find out when we return!”

Qiu Tong stole a glance at his profile and stopped talking. A torturous silence fell over the car.

Shao An felt cold sweat trickle down his back. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and sped up.

Chen Jia had come to Jin Yang by Jin Tao’s instructions.

Did Jin Tao know about this matter? Qiu Tong thought about her meeting with Jin Tao and wanted to mention it to Jin Yang several times, but she swallowed her words. With their own thoughts on their minds, the two of them took a flight and landed on the open parking space near the S City villa district.

It was already five in the morning when they rushed back to the villa.

Qiu Tong wanted to go straight to the bedroom to interrogate Chen Jia, but when she saw the children and Ke Le sitting in the living room, she immediately felt that something was wrong.

As expected, Ke Le stood up apologetically. “Sorry, Boss.”

“We let her escape.”

Qiu Tong widened her eyes. She ran to the door of the guest room and saw that it was empty. Where was Chen Jia?

The window railings were cut by saw-shaped tools. The ropes binding Chen Jia’s wrists were also scattered on the ground. There were clear footprints of high heels on the window sill. Everything indicated that Chen Jia had escaped.

Ke Le scratched his head. He slapped himself in frustration. “We didn’t expect her to be so skilled.”

Chen Jia had always appeared so gentle in the villa so Ke Le was not too vigilant. He had arranged for a mercenary to guard outside the door, not expecting Chen Jia to escape while tied up.

Ke Le and the mercenaries waited until midnight but did not notice anything unusual. It was Qiu Xingyuan who felt that something was wrong.

After they barged into the room, Chen Jia had disappeared. The mercenaries quickly searched the surroundings but still couldn’t find her.

Qiu Tong frowned, but she did not blame Ke Le and the others. She followed Jin Yang to the bedroom on the second floor to investigate.

The items were all in their original positions. Even the folds of the bedsheet were at their original angles and lines. It was obvious that Chen Jia was highly skilled. Jin Yang and Qiu Tong examined the room separately and found that both the computer and phone bore signs of being unlocked.

Qiu Tong met Jin Yang’s eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, “What is Chen Jia looking for?”
