Standing outside the door, Ye Ya was anxious and restless. She never expected that the Lu Family would hand Chen Chen over to Fu Wan Jing. She felt uneasy, but looking at the massive iron gate, it seemed as immovable as a mountain. She couldn't overpower the people inside; what could she do?
Unable to contain herself, she dialed Lu Tianyang's number. However, hearing his exhausted voice made her hesitate. "Honey, when are you coming back?"
"Wife, what's wrong? Are you missing me?" Lu Tianyang replied. The business partner they had agreed upon suddenly backed out, likely due to sabotage from a competitor of Lu Group. How could he let such a prize slip away?
"It's nothing, dear. Just finish up and come back early. Don't tire yourself out too much." Ye Ya held back her worries. Chen Chen was with the Lu Family; even if Fu Wan Jing disliked her, she shouldn't act against her, right?
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ya forced herself to calm down. Since she couldn't enter through the front gate, she could climb over the wall.
Not being able to see Chen Chen for herself left her restless; the thought of Chen Chen being in Fu Wan Jing's hands made it impossible for her to sleep.
As dusk fell, Ye Ya decided to enter through the backyard. Grateful for her limited climbing skills, she approached a large tree that leaned against the wall and began to climb.
She didn't know which room Fu Wan Jing was in, but it had to be on the second floor. Ye Ya suspected she was likely staying in Lu Tianyang's room.
Ye Ya nimbly jumped down from the tree but realized she couldn't go up to the second floor directly via the stairs. There was a balcony outside Lu Tianyang's room; she could enter through the floor-to-ceiling window.
After much effort, Ye Ya finally sneaked into Lu Tianyang's room and faintly heard Chen Chen crying. As a mother, hearing her child cry naturally made her anxious, especially knowing that it was in Fu Wan Jing's hands.
Fu Wan Jing was somewhat annoyed. As she opened the door and saw Ye Ya in the room, she was startled. "What are you doing here? Trying to steal something?"
Fu Wan Jing's voice immediately alerted the Lu Family members. Du Huiru was holding Chen Chen, who was crying incessantly and wouldn't be soothed no matter what.
"Chen Chen's mommy is here!" Ye Ya called out as Du Huiru brought Chen Chen closer to the door, and he immediately noticed her.
Fu Wan Jing blocked Ye Ya's path. "Chen Chen belongs to the Lu Family; how can you deprive his grandparents of their right to see their grandson?"
Ye Ya watched as Chen Chen cried uncontrollably, not wanting to waste any more time with Fu Wan Jing. In a swift motion, she pushed her away. Fu Wan Jing lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"You, Ye Ya, this is the Lu Family. You have no right to act so recklessly," Lu Old Man said, his anger rising as he saw Fu Wan Jing on the floor. To him, Fu Wan Jing was like family, just as important as Lu Tianyang.
"Grandpa, please, I beg you. Just give me Chen Chen back," Ye Ya pleaded, unable to move as the guards held her tightly on both sides.
"Chen Chen carries the blood of the Lu Family. She will be well taken care of here. Take her away from this place," Lu Old Man commanded.
Lu Jianming looked at Ye Ya and couldn't help but say, "Dad, why not let her take Chen Chen? Look at how upset the child is."
Fu Wan Jing stood up, tears streaming down her face. Ye Ya regarded her with disdain; this woman was too good at playing the victim. With Chen Chen in her grasp, Ye Ya felt nothing but unease.
"Give me back my child! Bring her to me!" Ye Ya could no longer contain herself; she valued Chen Chen more than her own life.
"Attempting to break and enter—call the police!" Lu Old Man was genuinely furious now, especially seeing Fu Wan Jing's pitiful expression. His anger boiled within him.
Ye Ya never expected that the Lu Family would treat her like a thief. As she was taken away by the police, no one spoke a word in her defense.
Lu Jianming and Du Huiru exchanged glances. "Dad, if Lu Tianyang finds out about this when he returns, he will definitely be angry."
"It's just a show to make her reflect on her actions. It’s nothing serious; she really doesn't know how high the sky is. Wan Jing, are you alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. My hand is fine," Fu Wan Jing replied, deliberately rolling up her sleeve to reveal a bruised arm from the fall. While it hurt a little, she felt it was worth it to see Ye Ya taken to the police station.
Now they would see how she maintained her arrogance.
Once inside the police station, they didn’t ask any questions but immediately confiscated her phone and locked her in the Detention Room.
Ye Ya shouted in vain, her voice echoing in the empty room, but no one responded. In the adjacent room, Long Shaofeng couldn't help but yell back, "Stop shouting! It's pointless; no one will come even if you scream your lungs out. Just wait until tomorrow."
Long Shaofeng was furious about being caught for brawling, and he vowed that when he got out, he would make those responsible pay dearly.
Hearing his words deflated Ye Ya like a balloon pricked by a needle. She sank down onto the cold concrete floor, her heart filled with resentment. Why did the Lu Family have to be so ruthless? They treated her like a thief and sent her to the police station. She lowered her head, feeling a pang of bitterness at her own powerlessness—she couldn't even protect Chen Chen. The only person who could safeguard them was far across the ocean.
"Chen Chen will be fine with the Lu Family, Ye Ya. Don't panic," she tried to reassure herself. But thinking of Chen Chen's tearful face before she left made her heart ache. The little one was starting to recognize people; would she behave and sleep well without her? Would that woman, Fu Wan Jing, secretly harm her?
With these thoughts racing through her mind, Ye Ya lost her composure. "Someone! Let me out of here!"
Her phone had been taken away, leaving her unable to seek help.
"Stop shouting! They won't listen to you now anyway. They'll probably keep you locked up for a few days first," Long Shaofeng grumbled, feeling frustrated. He hadn't eaten or slept well in two days and could feel himself losing weight.
Meanwhile, Long Shaofeng's older brother, Long Shaotang, was at the Longmen headquarters, holding a glass of red wine.
"Boss, are we really going to bail out the Second Young Master? He's been locked up for two days already," one of Long Shaotang's subordinates reminded him cautiously.
"There's no rush. Shaofeng is too reckless; let him reflect on his actions in there for a while," Long Shaotang replied. As the older brother, he had always protected Shaofeng, who had grown up spoiled and arrogant. A little hardship would do him good.
"Understood."
Long Shaotang stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the night view of Ning Cheng. Just then, the newly arrived popular model Tang Tiantian approached him with a glass of wine in hand. "Shaotang, let's have a drink and toast to your growing business."
Long Shaotang clinked his glass with hers and downed the drink in one go. He tilted Tang Tiantian's chin up, and the reason he was drawn to her was entirely because she bore a resemblance to that detestable woman.
Yet, she belonged to Lu Tianyang. No matter how much Long Shaotang desired her, he dared not compete with Lu Tianyang for a woman.
"Shaotang, shall we go to the bedroom? What if someone sees us?" Tang Tiantian said coyly, though her hand stealthily slipped into Long Shaotang's collar.
After a long moment, Long Shaotang released her and walked into the bathroom.
Tang Tiantian slumped to the floor. She had thought that Long Shaotang might have some feelings for her, but from what had just transpired, it seemed he only viewed her as an outlet for his desires.
In the police station's Detention Room, Ye Ya felt anxious and couldn't sleep at all. Meanwhile, the man locked up beside her lay there snoring loudly; if one didn’t know better, they might think there was a pig in the room.
By the next day, Ye Ya was both exhausted and hungry. She thought to herself that dawn had arrived, and since these people had locked her up all night, it was about time they let her out.
After a while, someone came in and tossed two steamed buns and a bowl of plain porridge inside before shutting the door again.
"Hey, don’t go! Let me out! On what grounds are you holding me?" Ye Ya shouted in frustration as she watched the person leave.
Initially, Long Shaofeng would never have eaten such food, but after shouting for a long time without anyone paying attention to him, he figured his brother must really be angry this time.
Reluctantly, he picked up a bun and began to chew while glancing at Ye Ya yelling from across the room. "You should eat something. No one’s bailing you out; you can’t get out anyway. What exactly did you do?"
In this Detention Room, Long Shaofeng had been causing quite a stir these past two days. Now that he saw someone else speaking up, he couldn’t help but join in.
"I haven’t done anything!" Ye Ya exclaimed angrily as she kicked the iron pillar. All she wanted was to get her daughter back.
Long Shaofeng finished one bun and said, "Looks like you've offended someone. Just call me Long Ge. When my brother gets here, we can bail you out together."
Ye Ya looked at him with his carefree demeanor and felt no desire to engage in idle chatter. However, considering her current predicament, perhaps this spoiled rich kid could help her.
"If you manage to get out, could you give him a call? Let him know I've been captured and brought here."
"I won't help unless you beg me, call me Long Ge," he replied. Long Shaofeng was just a pampered young master, and now that he was bored, he didn't want to miss the chance to toy with someone.
Ye Ya realized that she had no choice but to play along. She picked up a steamed bun, knowing that Lu Tianyang would be back soon. If he returned and didn’t find her, he would definitely come looking for her.
And then there was Guo Ma; perhaps she had already informed Lu Tianyang. The thought of Lu Tianyang eased Ye Ya's anxiety a little.
Seeing Ye Ya silent, Long Shaofeng grew impatient. "Hey, woman, say something! Didn't you say you needed my help?"
"Let's see if you can get out first. Honestly, I doubt you have what it takes," Ye Ya provoked him. Sure enough, the young master reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"What do you mean I can't do anything? Do you know who I am? I'm Long Shaofeng, the second young master of Longmen! You think I can't even notify someone?" He scoffed.
"Who is Long Shaotang to you?" Ye Ya raised an eyebrow.
