  The three bodyguards all had on blank expressions, their eyes staring straight ahead.

  Zhuang Nainai was instantly upset at their lack of display of guilt.

  Recalling again her tumultuous journey here, Zhuang Nainai turned on her heel to leave.

  However, she regretted her words the minute she stepped out of the mansion gate.

  There were only private residences in the vicinity, no form of public transportation was in sight, and only a small path led to the city.

  Could she possibly reach the city area by nightfall if she were to go on foot?

  At that instant, the hum of the car engine sounded behind her. The bodyguard drove to her side and rolled down the window. “Ms. Gu, please get in the car.”


  Zhuang Nainai was dumbstruck.

  How embarrassing to get into the car now……

  But she mulled it over and decided that getting home safely was more important than her pride.

  Zhuang Nainai gave a soft cough. She lifted her chin and announced, “I won’t put you all in a spot and make Mr. Si put the blame on your incapability.”


  The bodyguards internally mused that her worry was unnecessary.

  The three men still wore no expressions on their faces. No words of thanks or even apology for the kidnap was uttered.

  Zhuang Nainai’s burning wrath that she had been unable to unleash upon Si Zhengting was now directed at them. She felt like she had to say something to vent her displeasure.

  She gave it a thought and continued, “Hey, I finally understand what it means by ‘Like master, like servant.’”


  They kept quiet but turned to look at her now.

  Zhuang Nainai laughed. “Look at that deadpan face of you three, it will be difficult for you to find a wife next time!”


  The bodyguards did not know how to respond. Was she implying the same for Mr. Si?

  Zhuang Nainai looked forward and continued, “Even though your boss is rich and good-looking, he doesn’t have a wife! Given his icy cold demeanor, I suppose he will be alone forever!”


  The bodyguards did not know what to say.

  Zhuang Nainai stared at the two bodyguards who’d blocked her entry days ago. “Hey, what are the names of you two?”


  One of them finally spoke in a cool voice. “Ms. Gu, I am Dashan, he is Xiaoshan.”


  “Brothers, I see.” Zhuang Nainai nodded and asked in a small voice, “Say, the next time your boss asks you to block me, cut me some slack?”


  Her tone suddenly turned menacing at this point. “Or I will make life difficult for you!”


  Feeling her courage and power growing within her, Zhuang Nainai then looked at her kidnapper. “What about you? What’s your name?”


  “Ms. Gu, I’m……”


  “I know, Burly! Such a fitting name!” Zhuang Nainai teased.

  “My name is not Burly, it’s Huang Peidong!” The bodyguard twitched his lips and could not resist correcting her.

  “Oh, right, let me tell you, Burly, the next time you kidnap me, at least tell me that your boss made you do it. If I were to be scared to death, how would you answer to your boss?”


  Huang Peidong thought back to her endless antics on the car. Who would believe that she was scared to death?

  Zhuang Nainai was on the verge of spilling more when Huang Peidong alerted her. “Ms. Gu, the intercom is connected in the car.”


  Zhuang Nainai was stunned into silence. In an anxious and hopeful voice, she inquired, “Who’s on the line?”


  Huang Peidong eyed her and replied, “Mr. Si.”


  Zhuang Nainai was dumbstruck.
