219 Imprisonment
Fang Lan pushed him away without hesitation. “What do you know? Move aside and don’t get in the way.”
Indeed, Guo Muyang didn’t understand. He just felt that Shen Hanyu’s self-torture method was unnecessary. He shook his head and sighed, then sat down beside her.
Shen Hanyu was originally standing, but after a while, he suddenly sat down in front of the computer. His well-defined fingers quickly and orderly typed on the keyboard.
Fang Lan’s movements were no slower than his.
The crackling sound continued for a while.
Fang Lan suddenly exclaimed in joy, “I found it!!!”
Guo Muyang quickly went over and saw a red dot on the map on the computer screen, flashing continuously.
He was stunned. “What did you find?”
“The place where Miss Sang is.”
As Fang Lan spoke, she zoomed in on the map and frowned. “She’s in an abandoned mental hospital, probably between the 12th and 14th floor.”
Shen Hanyu had already stood up. His thin lips were pressed into a thin line, and his dark eyes were filled with desolation and coldness.
He strode out, and Guo Muyang quickly followed. He turned to Fang Lan and asked, “How did you find Miss Sang?”
Fang Lan rubbed her cramped fingers and exhaled, “Pupil.”
Sang Qianqian fell to the ground. When she looked up, her pupils clearly reflected the scene outside the window.
The sky, the clouds, and a blurry building.
They had managed to find Sang Qianqian’s location using this building.
Following that, based on the angle, lighting, and other data, they not only found Sang Qianqian’s location, but they also managed to deduce the approximate floor she was on.
—
As the car headed toward Sang Qianqian’s location, Shen Hanyu remained silent.
Worried, Guo Muyang looked at Shen Hanyu through the rearview mirror.
There was no expression on his face, as if it was covered with a thick layer of frost. One glance at him would send a chill down one’s spine.
Guo Muyang didn’t dare to say anything. Finally, they arrived at the abandoned mental hospital.
There was no one inside. The windows in the building were broken, and wild gra.s.s could be seen everywhere in the stone slabs.
Only the thirteenth floor had fewer weeds than the other floors, and the corridor looked gloomy and terrifying.
There was no one in each room. However, in one of the rooms, there was a large pool of blood on the ground, and a small piece of clothing was scattered on the ground.
This was the place Sang Qianqian had once stayed in.
Shen Hanyu bent down slowly and picked up the torn pieces of the dress. He clenched them in his hands, his eyes red.
“Hanyu!”
Guo Muyang suddenly shouted, “There’s someone here!”
At the end of the corridor, in the dimly lit stairwell.
A slender woman sat curled up in a corner without a strand of clothing. Her long hair was covered in blood, and her body was covered in bruises.
Shen Hanyu squatted down. His hands trembled as he gently touched the woman’s shoulder. It was as if he had touched a piece of cold ice.
She should have been dead for a long time.
Shen Hanyu’s hand suddenly retracted, and the scenery in front of him collapsed as if the sky and earth had collapsed.
His face was completely pale, he was panting heavily, and his vision was turning black.
Guo Muyang couldn’t bear to look anymore and whispered, “Hanyu, I’ll wait for you outside.”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes were bloodshot, and there was a sweet taste of blood in his mouth.
His hands were trembling badly.
After a long time.
He finally bent down slowly and reached out, wanting to hold the person on the ground in his arms.

Guo Muyang brought his men to a place a little further away to wait.
He didn’t smoke at first, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but ask a bodyguard for a cigarette. His fingers were trembling as he held the cigarette, and he couldn’t calm down.
Sang Qianqian was no longer around, so what was Hanyu going to do?
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a loud noise. A large ball of fire rose from the direction of the stairs.
Guo Muyang’s heart was broken as he roared, “Hanyu!”
By the time he ran over, the staircase was already on fire!
The ambulance and the police car arrived at full speed.
Countless police officers surveyed the area around the building with serious expressions for several days.
The media was shocked by this big scene. After asking around, they found a shocking piece of news.
Shen Hanyu ,Phoenix Technology’s President, was severely injured by an unknown enemy in the capital and died after being sent to the hospital.
The public opinion was turbulent. Phoenix’s stock price plummeted, the business was greatly affected, and the partners were in a panic.
Phoenix had no choice but to hold a short press conference in Beijing. The former Vice President, Guo Muyang, attended as the new President of Phoenix. He looked very heavy and tired.
He admitted the authenticity of the media’s reports about Shen Hanyu’s accident and responded to the uneasiness and doubts of his partners in a clear way.
Guo Muyang’s ability in the industry was obvious to all.
His words, in addition to his ident.i.ty as the new president, were like a stabilizing force.
Soon, the company finally managed to recover some of its losses, and its various businesses slowly stabilized.
On the day Guo Muyang brought Shen Hanyu’s ashes back to Ming City, the media at the airport had taken a picture of him holding the urn in a dejected manner.

Sang Qianqian stayed in Xie Shi’an’s small courtyard for almost ten days.
It was almost the same as being imprisoned. Apart from this courtyard, she could not go anywhere else.
Without a cell phone or a computer, there was no way to contact the outside world. Fortunately, there were some books in the room to pa.s.s the time.
Now that Xie Shi’an had returned to Ruan Cheng’s side, he was extremely busy. In these ten days, he did not even come to see her once.
The men who were guarding did not say a word to her. No matter what Sang Qianqian said, they ignored her.
The servants who usually took care of her, other than her daily meals, would not say a word to her.
Looking at her eyes, it was as if she was some kind of dreadful monster that they wanted to avoid.
Sang Qianqian’s heart was heavy. She did not know if Ruan Cheng had really sent the video of her being locked up to Shen Hanyu. She wondered how Shen Hanyu was doing.
Thinking about how worried Shen Hanyu must be about her, Sang Qianqian’s heart ached.
However, she could not do anything now. She could only force herself to calm down and wait for Xie Shi’an to appear again.
On the 12th day, Xie Shi’an finally came. When he stepped into the house, Sang Qianqian was sitting on the sofa by the window, reading a book with her eyes lowered.
The warm rays of the setting sun shone on her body, giving her a different kind of peace and warmth.
Xie Shi’an stopped in his tracks, and his breathing became lighter. The mental and physical exhaustion he had felt over the past few days seemed to be silently appeased when he saw her.
Sang Qianqian’s pages did not flip for a long time, as if she was deep in thought. A light breeze blew past, causing the pages of the book to rustle. She then closed the book as if she had just woken up from a dream.
When she got up, she saw Xie Shi’an looking at her with a strange and complicated expression.
Sang Qianqian sat back on the sofa, picked up the teapot on the coffee table, and poured two cups of tea.
“Would you like some tea?” she asked calmly.
Xie Shi’an was silent for a while. Then, he walked over and sat opposite her.
He didn’t want to drink it at first, but the tea she made was exceptionally clear and the faint fragrance lingered in his nose.
In the end, Xie Shi’an still picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance filled the tip of his tongue.
Sang Qianqian looked at him steadily, her voice soft.
“Shi’an, how is Shen Hanyu now?”
