This was easy to say, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. After all, no one knew where Shen Shaofeng might be.
However, Sang Qianqian only had this little hope at the moment. She had to grab hold of it. Even if she had to search aimlessly, it was better than doing nothing.
Fortunately, Xie Shi’an could understand her feelings. “Let’s start from the capital.”
The capital, Beijing, seemed to be the most easily discovered and dangerous place, but it was often the safest and most unexpected place.
Sang Qianqian naturally had no objections. After they discussed the general plan, Xie Shi’an got up and went out to find Zhen Yiping.
She sat silently for a long time before returning to her room. She was worried and her mind was elsewhere. In the end, she leaned against the headboard and fell asleep.
Sang Qianqian went through nightmare after nightmare.
She first saw Shen Shaofeng in her dream. He was emaciated and covered in blood. His eyes were wide open, but he was no longer breathing.
Beside Shen Shaofeng, she saw Shen Hanyu. His eyes were red as he looked up at her. There was hatred in his eyes that she had never seen before.
Panicking, she wanted to explain, but he pushed her away violently. She felt like she had fallen into a dark pool. Water rushed into her mouth and nose, and she felt like she was suffocating.
She desperately wanted to swim out of the water, but there seemed to be an invisible force pressing down on her, and she could not raise her head at all.
Her phone’s ringtone rang. Sang Qianqian broke out in cold sweat and panted heavily, waking up from her sleep.
She must have had a nightmare just now. Fortunately, the call woke her up.
She calmed her breathing and picked up the call. “Shuhui.”
“Qianqian…”
Yin Shuhui hesitated on the other end of the phone and said carefully, “Have you seen the news today?”
Sang Qianqian thought that it was about Shen Hanyu. She didn’t know if she was comforting her or herself, but she subconsciously said, “Yes, Fang Lan has already rushed over to help settle it. She has already hired the best lawyer for Hanyu…”
“I’m not talking about that.”
Yin Shuhui held it in for a while. “I’m talking about you and Shi’an. There are photos taken by the media…”
Sang Qianqian snapped out of her daze. “What photos?”
“A photo of you and Shi’an getting off the plane and returning to the Xie family’s residence together.”
The other party’s tone was complicated. “Other than President Shen’s news on the internet, your news is the most lively…”
Sang Qianqian felt a chill run down her spine, as if she had fallen into ice-cold water again. Her heart suddenly sank.
She and Xie Shi’an had just returned to the country today, and the media had already taken photos of them?
She quickly opened the news interface on her phone. When she saw the headline and the photo inside, her hands couldn’t help but tremble.
[Xie Shi’an, the CEO of Xie Group, has returned from vacation with his wife. His wife is suspected to be pregnant.]
Last year, his wedding was announced to the world, but it was stopped halfway. Although the media and the outside world were curious, they didn’t know.
Countless reporters tried to dig into his private life, but they were afraid of the pressure from the Xie family.
But now, they didn’t even say anything and directly posted such photos and news on the internet. Some media even released a video clip of their wedding in the church.
Although the video clip was deliberately blurred, at least it could be seen that the groom was Xie Shi’an. The bride beside him, who was wearing a white veil and had her head lowered, was almost identical to the woman at the airport who had a slightly protruding belly and was half-supported by him as she walked down the private jet’s gangway.
Countless netizens began to gossip about the identity of his wife. There were many different opinions, but it was enough to make the public opinion boil.
Sang Qianqian nearly bit her lips as her nails dug into her palms. It was painful.
She knew that Ruan Xiaodie would definitely make a move when Shen Hanyu was in trouble. However, she did not expect her revenge to come so quickly.
She really knew how to hit Shen Hanyu when he was down. She also knew how to stab a knife into his heart.
“Qianqian, are you listening?”
Yin Shuhui didn’t hear a response for a long time and asked worriedly, “Are you okay?”
Sang Qianqian pursed her lips. “I’m alright.”
Yin Shuhui probed, saying, “Do you want me to secretly explain to President Shen?”
If Shen Hanyu were to see this news at this juncture, he would definitely be devastated.
“There’s no need. The more you explain, the more trouble you’ll cause.”
Sang Qianqian had already calmed down. “This is the effect Ruan Xiaodie wants.”
Yin Shuhui understood that this was Ruan Xiaodie’s doing and was furious. While scolding the latter, she also felt strong sympathy for Sang Qianqian.
What kind of sin did Qianqian commit? Why was she entangled with this lunatic? She couldn’t even get rid of her, and she had to be threatened everywhere.

When Xie Shi’an returned, he went to look for Sang Qianqian.
“I’ve already gotten someone to suppress those photos.”
He felt a little guilty. “But this photo was first spread to the country from the internet. Even if the popularity in the country is gone, it is impossible for it to completely disappear.”
Sang Qianqian shook her head. This matter had blown up so much that even if Shen Hanyu did not know, the Zhen family would have seen it. He would find out sooner or later.
She didn’t want to talk about it. “Have you met Zhen Yiping? What did he say? Can you send someone to Ming City?”
“Yes. He had already arranged for someone to go to Country A to assist Fang Lan. He would also take care of Phoenix Technology in Ming City. He said that he wouldn’t let the company’s backyard get into trouble.”
Xie Shi’an looked at Sang Qianqian as he spoke. “President Zhen saw those photos too. He asked me what happened between us.”
Sang Qianqian looked at him. “How did you answer?”
“In this situation, 1 can’t explain too much. 1 can only say that it’s what he saw on the internet.”
Xie Shi’an didn’t dare to look her in the eyes. He could have been more vague, but he was more or less selfish. He didn’t deny the wedding, her pregnancy, nor his so-called “husband and wife” relationship with her.
In the depths of his heart, there was even a trace of gratitude for Ruan Xiaodie’s actions. Without her, he would never have the chance to live in the same room as Sang Qianqian.
He had given her up many times, but this time, this might be the last chance that the heavens had given him. He would not give it up, nor did he want to give up.
Sang Qianqian didn’t think too much about it. She said bitterly, “That’s good too. We’ll have to make things clear sooner or later.”
This matter had blown up so much, so how could the Zhen family not ask about it? Xie Shi’an’s answer was understandable.
“There’s one more thing,”
He said hesitantly, “Tomorrow night, there will be a charity banquet in the capital that is held once every three years. All of Beijing’s famous people will attend.”
Sang Qianqian only replied absentmindedly.
This kind of banquet had nothing to do with her. She was not a famous person.
“What I mean is, what Ruan Xiaodie wants…,”
Xie Shi’an whispered, “Is for us to go together…”
Sang Qianqian suddenly looked up. “Together?”
“Yes.”
He struggled to finish his sentence “In the name… Of husband and wife..”
