After an indeterminate amount of time, the car finally stopped!

Once the car stopped, Ye Xunhuan didn't care about Wei Zixu's condition and directly opened the car door, stepping out.

It wasn't until Ye Xunhuan had walked out for a while that Wei Zixu slowly came to his senses.

Once he did, Wei Zixu hurriedly opened the car door and began to vomit: "Ye Xunhuan, I swear I will never let you drive my car again, and I will never sit in your car for the rest of my life..."

At this moment, Wei Zixu felt the same way Qiu Ruoxi had once felt: riding in Ye Xunhuan's car was more thrilling than a damn roller coaster—it was like teetering on the edge of hell.

After vomiting, Wei Zixu took a deep breath and circled his car, nearly crying when he found scratches on the body.

"Ye Xunhuan, damn you, my car..."

At this point, Ye Xunhuan didn't hear Wei Zixu's curses; he had already entered the villa.

Indeed, Ye Xunhuan had sped all the way to Jiangzhong City to come to the Tingxiang Waterside Pavilion Villa.

Inside the villa, Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong were shocked to see Ye Xunhuan suddenly return.

They immediately expressed excitement: "Xunhuan, when did you get back?"

Ye Xunhuan glanced at Xiahou Yutong and softly answered, "Just now. Mom, where's Ruoxi?"

"At the company," Xiahou Yutong immediately replied.

"Is everything alright with her?"

"Yes, she's fine."

"That's good!" Ye Xunhuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Mei Hanqing had been captured, which made Ye Xunhuan instantly think of King, who had once abducted Qiu Ruoxi and others.

Ye Xunhuan was worried the incident might repeat itself, so he returned to the villa.

"Xunhuan..."

Qiu Shuihan just started speaking when Ye Xunhuan interrupted: "Dad, I know what's going on. I'm off to find Ruoxi first!"

"We'll discuss everything else when I get back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan rushed outside, visibly anxious and hurried.

Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong sighed helplessly, but didn't stop Ye Xunhuan, allowing him to leave.

As Ye Xunhuan exited the villa, he coincidentally encountered Wei Zixu coming in.

"Ye Xunhuan, my car..."

"I'm borrowing it!"

"No way..."

Ye Xunhuan didn't care whether Wei Zixu agreed or not; he immediately opened the car door and got in, started the car, and quickly left.

As for Wei Zixu, he was left completely stranded there.

As he watched, Wei Zixu's mind was filled with a torrent of profanities, realizing he'd forgotten Ye Xunhuan had his car keys!

Damn, he's driven off again; will my car still be intact when he returns?

Will it be totaled?

At this moment, Wei Zixu wasn't concerned about what Ye Xunhuan was doing or whether he was in danger; all he cared about was the fate of his car!

If Ye Xunhuan knew Wei Zixu's thoughts, he might just punch him.

Ye Xunhuan had left, taking the car, while Wei Zixu stayed behind, having no choice but to walk into the villa.

He planned to wait here for Ye Xunhuan to return; if not, he'd wait for Qiu Ruoxi to come back and then demand compensation for a new car!

Once Ye Xunhuan left the villa, he headed straight to Huangtu Group.

Upon arriving at Huangtu Group, Ye Xunhuan found Qiu Ruoxi was not in her office, causing his heart to sink. He immediately picked up the phone on Qiu Ruoxi's desk and dialed her mobile number!

But no one answered.

This made Ye Xunhuan's heart plummet, and he urgently dialed Qianhuan Liuyun's phone!

The call connected quickly!

"Liu Yun, are you with Ruoxi?"

"King, the mistress is fine; she's downstairs in the conference room with Ms. Mei's father and two others I don't know."

Hearing Qianhuan Liuyun's words, Ye Xunhuan didn't say anything more, hanging up and heading for the conference room.

As Ye Xunhuan reached the conference room door, he immediately saw Qianhuan Liuyun standing guard like a sentinel.

"King..."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm heading inside first!"

Then Ye Xunhuan pushed open the door and entered the conference room.

Inside the room, Qiu Ruoxi, Ao Wuheng, Zhong Wuchang, and Su Bingzhi were sitting together, their expressions somber as they discussed something unknown.

As Ye Xunhuan entered, everyone's gaze shifted to the door in unison.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan, they all froze.

Coming to her senses, Qiu Ruoxi quickly stood up, full of excitement and surprise, looking at Ye Xunhuan: "Xunhuan..."

As Qiu Ruoxi started speaking, Su Bingzhi immediately interjected: "I thought you were going to vanish?"

Su Bingzhi's expression was grim, filled with hostility, as if his gaze could kill Ye Xunhuan.

Ye Xunhuan could understand his demeanor, though—not surprising, given his daughter was the one abducted, his daughter he'd owed for more than twenty years.

"Uncle Su, I know nothing I say can quell your anger," Ye Xunhuan said apologetically, "But rest assured, since the issue started because of me, I'll save Han Qing."

"You better do!" Su Bingzhi said through gritted teeth, "Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"

Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath without saying anything, then turned his gaze to Qiu Ruoxi, giving her a reassuring look.

Afterward, Ye Xunhuan asked, "Are there any updates now?"

"Not yet!" Su Bingzhi replied darkly, "The only thing certain is that the person who took Han Qing is called First Tyrant!"

"First Tyrant?" Ye Xunhuan's brow furrowed immediately.

The name wasn't unfamiliar; he'd heard Long Shou mention it before.

He just hadn't expected it to surface so soon.

"Xunhuan, did you kill First China?"

Ye Xunhuan nodded: "Yes."

"First Tyrant is after you this time, and First Tyrant..."

"Grandpa Wuheng, I know what you're about to say, but my life isn't easy to take, and since the problem started with me, I'll handle it!" Ye Xunhuan promised earnestly, "I'm going to find him now!"

Saying this, Ye Xunhuan was about to leave.

Qiu Ruoxi quickly asked, "Where will you look for him?"

"As long as he's in Jiangzhong City, I can find him!"
