Tang Beibei sensed danger when the door was closed.
She looked at Madam Wu with a cold gaze.
Madam Wu quickly waved her hand. âItâs not a kidnapping. Beibei, youâve misunderstood. I just want you to join me for cake. I donât have any other intentions. These two people must have been arranged by my son to protect me!â
Tang Beibei tightened her grip on her bag and made a defensive gesture.
âProtect you? Why donât you let me go out and make a phone call? Madam Wu, you invited me, and I have the right to refuse!â
âWell⦠Just wait a bit longer. My son might be here very soon. Beibei, donât misunderstand.â Madam Wu tried her best to explain.
Her son persuaded her that it was her birthday today and wanted to invite her savior to celebrate. That was why she brought Tang Beibei here.
âThis place blocks my phone signal and prevents me from contacting the outside world. This is to cut off my communication with others. Madam Wu, what exactly do you want?â
Wu Zhen also realized the seriousness of the matter. âDonât be angry. Iâll contact my son. Beibei, I wonât harm you. I definitely wonât.â
Tang Beibei saw her walking over and immediately took a few steps back, her eyes guarded.
Being bitten by someone she saved once was an experience she had gone through before.
No one could guarantee that Wu Zhen didnât want to hurt her for any reason.
She came to the window and looked out. This was the fourth floor, and the floor was very high. If she jumped down, she would either die or become a cripple.
Therefore, jumping out of the window was unrealistic!
She watched as Wu Zhen called her son. They had barely chatted for a while before her son hung up.
Tang Beibei asked, âWhat did your son say? Madam Wu, is your son using you to deliberately imprison me?â
âNo, my son doesnât even know you. How could he harm you? Beibei, donât make baseless assumptions.â Madam Wu was still protective of her son, but her sonâs attitude was indeed very strange.
She asked him when he would come over. They were about to leave, but he asked her to stay with Tang Beibei for a little longer. He would come over soon. âThen, Iâm leaving now!â
Tang Beibei pointed at the door and said, âYou canât force me to celebrate your birthday with you, Madam Wu. I saved you and the favor I did for you doesnât give you the right to kidnap me!â
Wu Zhenâs expression turned ugly.
She was truly grateful that Tang Beibei had saved her out of kindness, but she didnât expect things to turn out like this.
âBeibei, donât be too anxious. My son is genuinely concerned about me, thatâs why he arranged for someone to protect me. He didnât mean to keep you from leaving. Iâll go talk to them.â
Wu Zhen went to open the door, but the two men guarding outside reached out to stop her.
âOld Madam, Young Master will be here soon. You should stay inside for a while.â
Wu Zhen said, âIâm not leaving, but Beibei still has some matters to attend to. If she wants to leave, you can let her through.â
The two men looked at each other. The person they were guarding was Tang Beibei.
âOld Madam, sheâll stay here with you. She canât leave.â
âWhy not? I am the Old Madam. I order you to step aside and let Beibei go.â
The two of them still apologized and reached out to stop her. âNo, she has to stay here. Otherwise, Young Master will teach us a lesson.â
âWhat do you mean? Did Young Master ask you to keep an eye on her?â
The two men were speechless.
The two of them dared not say more and just asked her to go back and wait for a moment.
The door closed again.
Tang Beibeiâs face darkened. âMadam Wu, it seems that my speculation was right. Your good son used you to bring me here and block the signal here so that he could cut off my contact with the outside world and imprison me here.â
âNo, he wouldnât. Why would my son do such a thing? Heâs not a bad person.â
Tang Beibei couldnât be bothered to argue with her. She couldnât get out if the door couldnât be opened.
She walked around the room, wondering why they wanted to imprison her.
She didnât know Wu Zhenâs son. He only imprisoned her and didnât hurt her. Therefore, he wasnât targeting her, but the people related to her.
Jiang Jingchen. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The thought of someone using her to threaten Jiang Jingchen made her anxious.
She rubbed her fingers and realized that her ring was missing.
âWhereâs my ring?â
She searched the room.
âWhat ring?â Wu Zhen looked bewildered.
âMy ring, my wedding ring!â
Tang Beibei was anxious. The staff must have taken her ring when she was relaxed.
Her ring wasnât worth much. If the staff really wanted to steal something, they would definitely steal her bracelet or necklace.
Therefore, they must have had an ulterior motive for taking her ring.
She thought about Jiang Jingchen seeing her ring without seeing her, he must be worried and anxious.
âThe staff must have taken it. Madam Wu, please ask the staff to return my ring!â
Wu Zhen didnât expect this to happen. She quickly called the staff through the internal line, but the person who entered wasnât the woman who had given Tang Beibei a massage.
The staff member said that the lady had already gotten off work. If there was anything, they would have to wait for her.
Tang Beibei could tell that they were stalling for time.
âSheâs off duty, so her phone is unreachable? I lost my ring, and I just wanted to ask if she had seen it.â
The staff retorted unwillingly, âYour ring isnât here, that means itâs not here. Donât accuse us of stealing your stuff.â
Tang Beibei laughed angrily. âWhen did I say that she stole my things? Iâm just asking if she saw it. My things are missing. Canât I ask? Is this your service attitude?â
Madam Wu also chimed in, âBeibei lost her ring. Can you please help look and ask the staff member?â
The staff member was still unaware of Wu Zhenâs sonâs plan, so her tone was very certain.
âMadam Wu, if the item was lost here, we would certainly help find it. But we donât even know if her ring was lost here.â
Tang Beibei was furious that she put her hands on her hips. She had always worn her ring and would only take it off when she was performing on stage.
She was sure that the ring was lost here!
âMy ring isnât here. Iâm afraid itâs not in this beauty salon either. Heh, you guys are ganging up on me.â
Wu Zhen was anxious. âBeibei, youâve really misunderstood. I didnât scheme against you.â
Tang Beibei looked at her coldly. âIf you didnât scheme against me, let me leave this place!â
Wu Zhenâs expression was dark as she stared at the tightly shut door.
She comforted Tang Beibei softly, âDonât worry. Although I donât know whatâs happening, Iâll definitely help you leave. Beibei, believe me. I really donât have any intention of harming you.â
Tang Beibeiâs primary concern now was her husband. She was afraid that he would be threatened and harmed.
âMadam Wu, donât blame me for being harsh. Itâs meaningless for you to have any thoughts now. What you should do now is to let me leave!â
Madam Wu called her son again, and the call went through.
She asked directly, âWu Rui, are you trying to harm Beibei?â
âMother, itâs not like that. Iâll be there shortly. Wait a moment.â
âWe can wait for you, but why canât we let Beibei leave the beauty salon? Wu Rui, tell us honestly, are you using me to imprison Beibei?â
âWu Rui, Beibei is my benefactor. Without her, I might have died last time. Have you considered my feelings about harming the person who saved my life?â
âMother, I didnât mean to harm her. I just wanted her to stay there for a while.â
Tang Beibei was furious. She rushed to Wu Zhen and questioned, âYouâre imprisoning me because youâre scheming against my husband!â
âIf you harmed my husband, I wonât go easy on your mother!â
But Wu Rui laughed. âYou wonât. Isnât the purpose of you studying medicine to save people?â
âSince youâve already figured it out, thereâs no need to hide anything.â
âI do need you to stay in the beauty salon. Miss Tang, I have no intention of harming you. Please donât worry.â
Tang Beibei felt a deep sense of frustration.
He took advantage of her kindness, used his mother to get her ring, and intended to threaten her husband!
