Before Yan Xi could speak, Han Mingxuan entered. He directly handcuffed Yan Xi's hands. Yan Xi was still in a daze, wondering what crime she had committed to warrant handcuffs.
When Yan Xi saw Han Mingxuan's face clearly, she was even more shocked. This was not Fu Yanting's subordinate. He had even approached Yan Xi when Fu Yanting had an accident before.
But Yan Xi couldn't understand why he was putting handcuffs on her.
Han Mingxuan said calmly, "Miss Yan, please come with us."
Yan Xi, unhurriedly, looked at Han Mingxuan and asked, word by word, "May I ask what law I have broken that requires you to handcuff me?"
"Fu Yanting is your husband. He is suspected of commercial fraud and threatening us, obstructing our work. He has already been arrested. To be safe, you also need to come with us."
Hearing Han Mingxuan's words, Yan Xi found it ridiculous. Anyone might be involved in commercial fraud, but not Fu Yanting. Fu Yanting was already wealthy and had no need to resort to commercial fraud for money. However, Han Mingxuan did not intend to let Yan Xi go. After putting on the handcuffs, he signaled to his subordinate, who understood and directly took Yan Xi away.
After Yan Xi was taken away, Xia Shixue walked out from not far away. Looking at Yan Xi's receding figure, Xia Shixue couldn't help but ask with concern, "Brother Mingxuan, is it really okay for you to do this?"
Xia Shixue had witnessed Fu Yanting's capabilities. Furthermore, Yan Xi had the backing of the He family and He Yun.
Xia Shixue was genuinely worried that if even a slight misstep occurred in this plan, they would suffer severe consequences.
Han Mingxuan looked at Xia Shixue, displeased. What did Xia Shixue mean by that? Did she think his abilities were inferior to Fu Yanting's?
"Why wouldn't it be okay? Not to mention Yan Xi, even Fu Yanting, I won't let him go. Since the couple were in harmony, I'll let them be a devoted couple in the afterlife."
"They are not husband and wife. They divorced long ago."
Hearing Han Mingxuan say this, Xia Shixue felt inexplicably annoyed. Fu Yanting was hers, Xia Shixue's. Even if Fu Yanting didn't choose Xia Shixue in the end, she wouldn't allow him to belong to anyone else.
Especially not that little slut Yan Xi.
Yan Xi had stolen everything that originally belonged to her.
Han Mingxuan didn't expect Xia Shixue's reaction to be so strong. His gaze was fixed on Xia Shixue. Xia Shixue also realized her lapse in composure and coughed twice to cover her embarrassment.
Han Mingxuan's eyes stirred with emotions that were difficult to discern.
Yan Xi was not taken back to the International Special Police Headquarters but was locked in a dark room. Yan Xi struggled, but the people there completely ignored her.
When it was time for dinner, the food delivered to Yan Xi was spoiled and ice-cold. Yan Xi glanced at it and lost her appetite. After starving for three days like this,
Yan Xi had neither seen Han Mingxuan nor been taken to the interrogation room.
Yan Xi had not even seen Fu Yanting.
She remembered her phone was still on her. Yan Xi called Fu Yanting, but there was no signal.
Yan Xi wasn't stupid. She clearly understood that her phone signal had been jammed.
Yan Xi now understood very clearly that she had been kidnapped.
At this moment, Yan Xi closed her eyes in despair.
Hearing movement outside, Yan Xi's heart leaped with joy. She pressed herself against the door and heard Han Mingxuan's voice from afar.
"How is it? Did she confess?"
"No."
Han Mingxuan's subordinate shook his head, looking helpless.
Han Mingxuan frowned upon hearing this. He truly hadn't expected Yan Xi to be so resilient. However, with Yan Xi's fragile physique, she wouldn't be able to hold out for long before confessing.
What Han Mingxuan wanted was Yan Xi's confession. As long as Yan Xi admitted she was in league with Fu Yanting, it would be much easier for him to deal with Fu Yanting.
Han Mingxuan's scheme was working out perfectly in his mind.
Yan Xi, standing by the door, had heard the entire conversation between Han Mingxuan and his subordinate. Yan Xi gave a bitter smile. When Han Mingxuan had first approached her, she had thought he was a good person. Now it seemed he was nothing special.
Yan Xi was not guilty, and Fu Yanting was not guilty either. Why should she confess?
With this thought, Yan Xi seemed to find the courage to resist Han Mingxuan. Regardless of what Han Mingxuan said, Yan Xi was not going to plead guilty.
Fu Corporation President's Office.
Assistant Shen Haolin knocked on the office door and then pushed it open.
At this moment, Fu Yanting was searching for Yan Xi's whereabouts, paying no attention to the thick stack of documents on his desk.
The ashtray on the desk was already filled with cigarette butts.
It was evident that Fu Yanting was extremely worried at this moment. After marrying Yan Xi, he knew she had mild tracheitis and couldn't tolerate the smell of tobacco, so he had quit smoking.
Yan Xi, from beginning to end, never knew that Fu Yanting actually smoked. The reason he didn't smoke was for her.
Seeing Shen Haolin, Fu Yanting extinguished the cigarette he had halfway smoked and threw it into the ashtray. He asked, "Any news about Xi Xi?"
"President, Xin Yi has gone to look, but Miss Yan seems to have vanished into thin air. Her whereabouts haven't been found yet."
Fu Yanting knew Yan Xi. She had a strong personality and wouldn't just vanish without a word.
Even if Yan Xi wanted to get away from Fu Yanting, she would have explained things clearly before leaving.
Leaving without a word like this was not Yan Xi's style. Something must have happened to Yan Xi.
"If she can't be found, keep looking. I refuse to believe that a grown person can simply disappear into thin air."
Fu Yanting's voice was soft and light.
Only those who had been by his side for many years could understand that he was suppressing his inner rage at this moment.
Shen Haolin stood there, still holding a document.
Fu Yanting raised an eyebrow and asked in a high-and-mighty tone, "Is there anything else?"
Shen Haolin nodded, placed the document in front of Fu Yanting, and said softly, "The second branch has been getting very close to the Meng family in Kyoto recently."
The second branch.
How long had they been quiet?
If Shen Haolin hadn't reported it to Fu Yanting today, Fu Yanting would have almost completely forgotten about the second branch.
Fu Yanting's fingers tapped rhythmically on the document, but he did not rush to open and read it.
Shen Haolin knew that Fu Yanting was waiting for his report here.
Shen Haolin cleared his throat and reported, "The Meng family in Kyoto, although not prominent in the business world, their family runs a bank."
Fu Yanting, being so astute, understood the implication with just a hint.
