“Then?”

“We were worried and wanted to follow her, but she did not allow us. She threatened to swallow the pill in her hand if she realized anyone tailing her. We did not dare to defy her. I had given you a call to report this matter, but you were in a meeting. So I came here personally to look for you.”

“Where is she now?”

“I don’t know. We really didn’t dare follow her, Master Chen…”

Nan Chen slammed the table, “You didn’t dare follow her from a near distance, but why couldn’t you follow her from afar?”

“We wanted to, but a car fetched Madam away. The car was too fast and dashed through a red traffic light. We were not able to catch up due to the cars blocking us, so…”

“Was a sports car?”

“Yes. It was a red sports car. It seemed to be a Ferrari. Anyway, it was a fast car.”

“Who would fetch her? And to where?”

Without waiting for Qiao Zhan to reply, Nan Chen waved his hand dismissively, signaling him to go out.

He had an idea in mind.

It was late. After Nan Chen finished his work on hand, he gave Ouyang Qing a call and called her over.

She reached the office within thirty minutes and seemed to guess his purpose in asking her over. Thus she made efforts to dress up and even put on exquisite makeup, with bright red lipstick. This added certain maturity and charm to her innocent appearance.

But Nan Chen was not in a mood to scrutinize her appearance today. He asked her outright, “Where is she?”
