I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 266 So this is President Liu's daughter-in-law?

"what..."

Tang Zhi paused for a moment, then turned to look at Yin Mengran, her eyes still somewhat evasive.

She didn't even dare to listen carefully to what Yin Mengran was about to say next; perhaps she was going to say something harsh to herself, telling her to stay away from her in the future...

Don't let her seemingly carefree attitude fool you... she truly cherishes her friendship with Yin Mengran...

Besides Zhou Heng, her first good friend was Yin Mengran.

Her appearance was like a ray of sunshine in her life, making her realize how happy she was to have a good friend.

But now, it seems she didn't cherish it enough and hurt her...

Tang Zhi lowered her head, her hands clasped in front of her, looking very awkward.

It was as if he was prepared to be scolded, ready to accept Yin Mengran's reprimand and anger.

With Zhou Heng's help, Yin Mengran slowly stood up and then walked step by step toward Tang Zhi.

Zhou Heng didn't dare say anything; he didn't know what Yin Mengran was up to.

This was the first time he had ever seen Tang Zhi so flustered and uneasy.

Yin Mengran approached Tang Zhi, and the next second, a scene that shocked both of them unfolded.

Yin Mengran suddenly bent down, lowered her head to Tang Zhi, and said:

"I'm sorry... I was too willful. Can you... forgive me?"

"Uh?!"

Tang Zhi and Zhou Heng both stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

She was already prepared to be scolded by Yin Mengran, so how did it turn into Yin Mengran apologizing?

"Oh no... no, why are you apologizing? It's clearly my fault, why are you apologizing..."

Tang Zhi quickly helped Yin Mengran up. She couldn't bear such an apology; it made her feel even more sorry for Yin Mengran...

"No, I've thought about it. You're not wrong. It was my stubbornness. I'm sorry."

Yin Mengran knew why she had lost control: it involved Zhou Heng and threatened their relationship.

In her eyes, nothing was more important than her relationship with Zhou Heng.

That threatened their relationship, making her even more alarmed than if her life were threatened!

But after calming down and thinking it over, I realized I had gone too far. At least my stubbornness caused trouble for everyone...

"Don't say that..."

Tang Zhi was speechless. She really hadn't expected that Yin Mengran wouldn't blame her at all.

He even blamed all his mistakes on her; how could she possibly accept that...?

Yin Mengran gently took Tang Zhi's hand and whispered:

"Um... don't be mad at me, forgive me, and then... let's continue to be good friends, okay...?"

"you..."

Tang Zhi stared blankly, her mouth agape, her wide eyes filled with disbelief.

Then, she felt a lump in her throat and quickly turned her head away...

"Huh? You cried?" Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow and asked with a curious look.

"I didn't!"

Tang Zhi retorted loudly, but her voice sounded muffled...

"Cough cough."

At that moment, a policeman walked over, holding a pen and notebook, and said, "Please cooperate..."

"Get out of here, get out of here!"

Before the first officer could finish speaking, another, older officer walked over and pushed him aside...

Zhou Heng frowned slightly when he saw his shoulder insignia. This rank seemed to be...

The policeman who had been pushed aside immediately stood up straight and saluted.

"Director Hong!"

The policeman, addressed as Director Hong, sized Zhou Heng up and down and asked:

"You're President Liu's son?"

Zhou Heng nodded and replied, "Yes, that's me."

He then looked at Yin Mengran standing to the side, pointed at her, and asked, "Is this President Liu's daughter-in-law?"

"Ah I..."

Yin Mengran was slightly taken aback. Had she really become a daughter-in-law so beautifully?

“Yes, that’s right.” Before Yin Mengran could answer, Zhou Heng nodded and replied.

A faint blush immediately appeared on Yin Mengran's face as she leaned against Zhou Heng, looking shy and bashful.

"Are you alright? If not, I'll take you to the hospital right away."

"Um, no...it's nothing, no need to trouble yourself..."

"It's alright. Mr. Liu suddenly called and told me that his daughter-in-law had been kidnapped. That scared me, haha."

Director Hong stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.

"Director Hong!"

Just then, the group heard a familiar voice.

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran immediately recognized the voice as their mother's, Liu Wei's.

Not far away, Liu Wei stepped out of the car and walked over with an imposing aura, while the police officers on the side made way for her.

When Director Hong saw Liu Wei, he raised his hand in a gesture of greeting:

"President Liu, it's been a long time."

"Director Hong, you're too kind. We're all friends. Just call me Liu Wei."

The two shook hands and exchanged a few pleasantries.

"I'm so sorry to have troubled you so late at night."

"Not at all. With our relationship, there's no need for formalities. He's my nephew, after all. How could I just sit idly by if my nephew's wife got into trouble?"

Director Hong laughed and patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder.

"Alright, it's good that nothing's wrong. You guys should go back and get some rest. I heard you came here to have fun, right?"

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Yes, that's right..."

“I will definitely keep a close eye on the security situation from now on. Nephew, if you ever come to Huzhou again and need anything, just ask your Uncle Hong.”

"Uh...yes, okay...thank you, Uncle Hong."

Subsequently, the police withdrew one after another, taking all the prisoners away.

Tang Zhi drove herself back to the hotel first, while Liu Wei took Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran back home.

During the journey, he repeatedly asked Yin Mengran if she was alright and whether she needed to go to the hospital.

He also kept inviting Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran to stay at his place.

However, the two refused; they decided to return to their hotel first.

Especially Yin Mengran, she now wants to go back... to find someone, and that is Yu Lingxue...

After Liu Wei delivered the two to their destination, she even arranged for someone to guard outside the hotel, showing how worried she was. It was only because they were discovered in time that they were rescued.

If something like this happens again, we might not be able to react so quickly.

If someone gets kidnapped, she'll search the whole world to find them.

After Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran went upstairs, they saw Tang Zhi rushing out of her room...

Yin Mengran asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Tang Zhi pointed to the room and said:

"Yu Lingxue... seems to have left; all her luggage is gone..."
