My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 556 - 654: She’s Just Prone to Trouble

Actually, when Shi Yi walked out of the compound gate, Ouyang Hao happened to be walking into the compound.

In the moment they brushed past each other, they both saw each other, but they both automatically ignored the other, after all, they both found each other annoying, and there was no need to bring bad luck upon themselves.

Although Ouyang Hao didn’t want to pay attention to Shi Yi, the suitcase she was dragging caught his attention. Where was she going? On a business trip? Traveling? Or maybe back to the United States?

Ouyang Hao’s gaze lingered on Shi Yi until she got into a taxi. The taxi quickly started, and as it did, another black SUV that was parked by the roadside also started and followed it.

Ouyang Hao frowned slightly, and a strange feeling flashed through his mind. For some reason, he thought that black SUV seemed problematic.

He was about to step forward to investigate, but a sudden ringtone pulled him back, he recollected his thoughts, smiled self-deprecatingly, and thought he must be overthinking. It’s broad daylight, what could possibly happen? Moreover, that woman is usually so domineering; what trouble could she possibly get into?

Thinking this, Ouyang Hao took out his phone from his pocket, glanced at the screen, frowned tighter, but still pressed the answer button, "Hello, Mom, what’s up?"

"You’ll come back for the National Day holiday, right?"

"Of course, I’ve come back every year, haven’t I?"

Mrs. Ouyang couldn’t help but be pleased, "Yes, you’ve become much more sensible over the years. Unlike your brother, who’s getting worse with age, all because of a woman... Ah, forget it, it’s just annoying to bring him up."

A couple of years ago, Ouyang Che, for some reason, fell for a young girl who wasn’t even fully grown, and stubbornly insisted on marrying her regardless of her feelings. The girl was bullied by Ouyang Che to the point of desperation and finally reported it to Old Man Ouyang. The old man was almost infuriated to death when he found out his son had turned into a bandit forcing a good girl, and more importantly, destroying the nation’s young seedlings. He personally stepped in to resolve the issue, but Ouyang Che, having hardened his bones, refused to back down, leading to a complete fallout with the old man, and he hasn’t been home in years. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Mentioning Ouyang Che made Ouyang Hao’s face darken and he fell into silence.

Mrs. Ouyang sensed the tension on the other end of the line and realized she had said the wrong thing, so she asked tentatively, "Hao, are you still holding a grudge against your brother?"

"Of course not," Ouyang Hao denied decisively, "He’s my own brother. I can’t blame him for anything."

Though Ouyang Hao said this, Mrs. Ouyang could sense a trace of sarcasm in his tone and tried to comfort him, "Your father and I admit we may have gone overboard back then, but we never expected things to turn out that way..."

"It’s all in the past, why bring it up now," Ouyang Hao interrupted, shifting the topic, "Didn’t you say the Chen Family has a nice girl you wanted to introduce to me? How about I meet her during the holiday?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Ouyang was taken aback. In the past, Ouyang Hao either opposed or dismissed matchmaking attempts, yet now he was proposing to meet the girl himself, which was indeed surprising for her.

"Hao, has something happened recently?" Mrs. Ouyang asked anxiously.

"What could happen? Mom, you’re overthinking it. I’m already in my thirties, isn’t it time I found a partner? Look at the other people our age in the neighborhood, their kids can already run errands for them."

"That’s true, that’s true!" Mrs. Ouyang sighed in relief, "Alright, I’ll go make the arrangements. The Chen Family girl is indeed good, pretty and well-mannered."

Of course, the most important thing was that she resembled that woman.

After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Hao gave a bitter smile. He used to sneer at his friends who compromised in marriage, thinking they were worse than cowards, but never did he expect that he would eventually walk down the same path.

He wasn’t compromising because he lacked the ability to fight against his family, but because he was too tired to fight. The person who once made him want to go against the world was never coming back. In that case, why should he persist?

...

On her way to the airport, Shi Yi’s car was blocked by an SUV. Before she and the driver could react, a tall and rough man pulled her out of the car.

Having experienced being kidnapped once before, she immediately sensed that something was wrong. She struggled to call out to the approaching cars, but the next moment a wet cloth covered her mouth.

The cloth probably contained some kind of drug; after breathing it in for a few moments, she lost consciousness and fell into an endless darkness. When she woke up, it was already dark, and her limbs were tightly bound by ropes, preventing any movement. She seemed to be suspended in the air, as her wrists, strained by her body’s weight, were burning with pain.

Shi Yi shook her head vigorously, clearing her mind. She slowly raised her head and saw that one end of the rope was tightly binding her wrists, while the other end was tied to something resembling a diving board.

Indeed, it was a diving board, because three or four meters below her was a large swimming pool. Even from a distance, she could hear the sound of the water.

She guessed she was in a place similar to a swimming pool, but had no idea who had tied her up here or why. However, she vaguely suspected it had something to do with Feng Chengyu.

Yet, the next moment she dismissed this idea, because not far from her, under another diving board, was another woman tied up, who was none other than Leng Yixiu’s new wife, Gu Yilin.

As far as she knew, Gu Yilin had no connection with Feng Chengyu. If that was the case, the person who had abducted them here should be someone with a grudge against Leng Yixiu.

Was it because of Leng Yixiu?

If so, it was even more ridiculous. There was no longer any relationship between her and Leng Yixiu. Kidnapping Gu Yilin made sense, but what was the point of kidnapping her? Was it because of the old rumors about her and Leng Yixiu?

Heh... Seems like she got dragged into it for no reason!

Shi Yi laughed at herself. Her luck truly had run out lately; if she weren’t taking the blame for someone, she was inexplicably getting caught up in trouble. It seemed she needed to visit the temple to light some incense and ward off the bad luck.

Shi Yi admired her own calmness, even in such a situation she still had the mind to think about these things. Her heart was quite at ease. At that moment, the vast swimming hall echoed with the sound of footsteps.

Shi Yi frowned a little, looking in the direction of the footsteps, and saw a tall, familiar figure at the swimming hall’s door.

The man looked up at her and Gu Yilin, then focused his gaze on a spot between them and shouted, "Zheng Hao, come out!"
