After leaving Century Fashion Company, Li Xuan stood on the street, his brow furrowed slightly.
Since returning to Hangcheng, Li Xuan had been plagued by an inexplicable sense of unease. After piecing together all his memories, only Li Wan'er could be considered someone he was relatively close to.
After all, they had lived under the same roof for five years.
Moreover, with Li Xuan's current strength, this feeling would not have appeared for no reason. It could be said that Li Xuan's ability to sense this was precisely due to his improved strength.
"The phone won't even connect?" After dialing Li Wan'er's number, Li Xuan's unease intensified. Given Li Wan'er's personality, it was unusual for her phone to be unreachable. After some thought, Li Xuan hailed a taxi and sped towards Jinxiu Residential Area.
Outside Jinxiu Residential Area, Li Xuan closed his eyes and sensed slightly. Indeed, he could not feel Li Wan'er's presence. This meant that Li Wan'er had not returned home after leaving the company.
"Where on earth did this woman go?" Li Xuan sighed helplessly.
He had thought that after divorcing Li Wan'er, their grievances and entanglements would be severed. However, he never expected to be drawn back into it by fate. Living life according to his own will was the cultivation journey Li Xuan had decided upon.
Now that Li Wan'er was in danger, Li Xuan had to consider their past relationship. At least, Li Wan'er had paid respects to Li Xuan's parents.
After much thought, Li Xuan found a secluded spot and, with a single thought, his divine sense spread out like a spider web in all directions.
However, after more than ten seconds, Li Xuan shook his head in frustration.
In Hangcheng, with countless signals and fluctuations intertwining, Li Xuan's divine sense was unable to locate Li Wan'er's presence amidst the mixture of steel and concrete.
"General Manager Li, I need to know Li Wan'er's whereabouts. The situation is somewhat complicated." After failing to locate Li Wan'er with his divine sense, Li Xuan finally decided to call Li Enzhong.
"Mr. Li, please give me two minutes." Li Enzhong, who was in the middle of a meeting, stood up immediately and replied.
He then hung up the phone and made another call. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Enzhong stated directly, "In one minute, I need the whereabouts of Li Wan'er from Century Fashion."
Motian International, Milan Hotel.
Li Xuan glanced at the skyscraper. Through his senses, Li Xuan found that Li Wan'er was indeed here. After a slight pause, Li Xuan walked in directly.
However, what surprised Li Xuan was that Li Wan'er had agreed to meet Zhuo Xian. Although he didn't know why Li Wan'er had agreed to meet Zhuo Xian, Li Xuan knew that Li Wan'er was not meeting him for a date.
Furthermore, during working hours, it was likely a business matter. Or perhaps, Li Wan'er's company was facing some trouble.
"Wan'er, as long as you agree to me, I promise to help your company reach new heights. You also know the current situation of Li De Group. Relying on them is probably a hopeless endeavor. Now, in Hangcheng, our Zhuo Group is thriving."
"As long as you marry me, everything can be discussed." Zhuo Xian looked at Li Wan'er in front of him, his eyes revealing no hidden desire.
Li Wan'er frowned and said, "Zhuo Xian, you said on the phone that this was about work. If that's the case, I think we should end it here."
"No, no, Wan'er, let's talk properly." Seeing Li Wan'er stand up, Zhuo Xian quickly waved his hand and said, "Wan'er, you know my sincerity towards you. Since you don't want to talk about this, then let's talk business. Come, let's chat while we eat."
Li Wan'er hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to sit down. Although she had no romantic feelings for Zhuo Xian, she had to take matters concerning the company seriously. And Zhuo Xian indeed had the capability.
"Wan'er, come, eat something first. Let's chat while we eat." Seeing Li Wan'er sit down again, Zhuo Xian's face lit up with a smile and he said.
Li Wan'er nodded slightly and then picked up her chopsticks.
Li Wan'er did not notice that as she began to eat, a glimmer of triumphant cunning flashed in Zhuo Xian's eyes.
At the same time, Li Xuan, who had entered the hotel, went directly to the third floor.
Through his senses, Li Xuan perceived that Li Wan'er was not in any danger at the moment, so he didn't rush into the private room. Since there were attendants at the door, Li Xuan walked towards the lobby nearby.
In this hotel, Li Xuan's divine sense could clearly sense the situation in Li Wan'er's private room. Since Li Wan'er was not in danger, Li Xuan saw no need to reveal himself.
Nearly an hour passed in the blink of an eye. For someone like Li Xuan, it was completely negligible. Meanwhile, in the private room, Li Wan'er began to feel her head grow heavy.
"Wan'er, have this last drink, and then we'll go sign the contract." Seeing Li Wan'er's flushed face and slightly blurred eyes, Zhuo Xian stood up and raised his wine glass, saying.
If Li Wan'er had paid attention, she would have noticed the uncontrollable expression on Zhuo Xian's face.
"Mmm..." Li Wan'er nodded blankly and then reached out with effort towards the wine glass.
*Bang.*
With a crisp crack, the wine glass on the table fell to the ground. At the same time, Li Wan'er slumped back into her chair.
"Wan'er, Wan'er?" Seeing this, Zhuo Xian quickly stepped forward and called out twice. However, Li Wan'er at this moment was as if she were drunk and showed no reaction at all.
Zhuo Xian glanced at Li Wan'er, who was slumped on the table, his fiery gaze growing even more intense.
"This woman, even now, has no sense of safety?" As Zhuo Xian helped Li Wan'er towards the guest rooms upstairs, Li Xuan frowned slightly.
However, Li Xuan was also somewhat perplexed. Given how Li Wan'er had managed things until now, she would not have been so careless.
Especially for a woman, some basic self-protection instincts should be present. Moreover, as a chairperson, Li Wan'er was bound to face social obligations. Her alcohol tolerance was truly questionable.
"This Zhuo Xian is truly ruthless!" After Li Xuan entered the private room to inspect it, his expression immediately darkened.
In the wine in front of Li Wan'er, there was a faint peculiar smell.
If Li Xuan were not a spirit master, he would not have been able to identify it. And his divine sense, which had been locked onto Li Wan'er, made Li Xuan extremely angry at this moment.
There were actually four other people in the guest room that Zhuo Xian had taken Li Wan'er to!
This was leaving Li Wan'er no room to survive.
