Chapter 406: Who Gave You Permission to Appear in Front of Xia Xiyan?
"Ou Jue brother..." she called out sweetly.Ou Jue, who was about to drive away, caught a glimpse of Qiao Qianmo. His jawline tightened even further, and anger instantly surged through his entire body.
He slammed the car door shut with a loud bang, striding forward with an imposing presence, his eyes filled with a dark fury. "Qiao Qianmo! What the hell did you say to that idiot?"
"Huh? What did I say?" Qiao Qianmo blinked innocently.
"Are you seriously pretending with me? Who authorized you to appear in Xia Xiyan’s presence? Are you looking for death?!"
"Ugh, don’t be angry~" Qiao Qianmo pouted coquettishly, tugging on Ou Jue’s arm. "I was just helping you gauge that woman! Why? Did that woman come to confront you? Seems like her trust in you isn’t that strong, huh."
Ou Jue sneered coldly, jerking his arm back harshly. "You should count yourself lucky you’re my cousin, or I’d have strangled you to death by now!"
Saying that, he turned around and strode back toward his sports car.
Qiao Qianmo hurriedly jumped out of her car to chase after him, trailing close behind. "I did tell Summer that I was the woman in the hospital. But whether she believes it or not is up to Summer! Guess what? Summer chose not to believe me. Brother, that woman doesn’t trust you!"
"I brought you back to the country to stay with her—" Ou Jue said, pointing toward the direction of the hospital room. "But what have you done for me? Running to my woman and deliberately provoking her?!"
Qiao Qianmo glanced at the hospital room in the direction Ou Jue was pointing. "I know, I’ve been staying with her this whole time, haven’t I? I only left for a bit this afternoon, and here you are, all furious. Besides, don’t you feel guilty abandoning her to go hang out with Summer?"
"Get lost!" Ou Jue had no patience left for her nonsense and forcefully shoved Qiao Qianmo aside.
At this moment, all he wanted was to find that little fool and explain everything to her.
Earlier, when Xiyan had murmured the three words, "I’m stepping away," it sent an unprecedented wave of panic through Ou Jue.
He was truly... panicked.

Xiyan stood in place for a long while before finally heading toward the pharmacy.
She bought some cold medicine and silently began walking home.
Suddenly, a van pulled up beside her, and the door slid open.
Xiyan’s lashes quivered as she raised her head to look. Just as she did, she felt a sharp blow to the back of her neck.
What the hell!! What’s going on?!
She cursed inwardly in shock before her vision went completely dark, and she passed out.
Who knows how long had passed...
Ugh, her neck hurt so much.
Xiyan struggled to open her eyes, and what she saw was a space resembling a warehouse.
The surroundings were stacked full of goods.
Where... is this?
"Oh, awake now?" A lazy, mocking voice drifted over.
Xiyan raised her head to see. It was a short, fat man, probably around his thirties, with a dragon tattoo on his arm.
Behind him, stood two thin young men, clearly embodying the typical henchman vibe.
Xiyan struggled to sit up, only to realize her hands and feet were tightly bound.
Startled, she looked at them with a face full of fear. "Who are you? What do you want?!"
The three men were eating watermelon, seemingly ignoring Xiyan’s questions.
One of them, a blonde-haired guy with a soft spot for women, commented to the short, fat leader, "Boss Mang, it seems like she’s trying to talk to us."
