Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After each call, she would take a deep breath and try to relieve herself from the stress for a moment.
Late one night, Tong Xiaoge sat at her desk, the light softly illuminating her resolute face.
She had just finished a call with an informant who claimed to have key clues about the source of the package.
The voice on the phone was low and mysterious, and Tong Xiaoge felt both expectant and alert.
After hanging up the phone, she left a line of notes, scribbling casually on the edge of the notebook, trying to relieve the tension in her heart.
She rubbed her eyes tiredly, stood up and paced around the room.
She walked to the window, pushed it open, and a cool breeze blew in, blowing away the stuffiness in the room.
The night city lights unfolded before her eyes, and every light seemed to be telling an unknown story.
"What kind of truth is hidden behind all this?"
Tong Xiaoge talked to herself, with an invisible burden in her

Tong Xiaoge's voice became even colder and harder. She held her cell phone tightly, with sparks of anger flashing in her eyes.She knew very well that she had to exert greater pressure at this moment to force Xu Yang to reveal the truth."Xu Yang, I'm telling you straight away, if you continue to play dumb, I'll have no choice but to call the police.""You should be aware that once the police get involved, the consequences for you will be far more serious than if you confess now."Xu Yang's breathing sounded rapid over the phone, and he was obviously shocked by Tong Xiaoge's firm attitude.After a moment's silence, his voice was filled with obvious struggle."Alright, alright, Tong Xiaoge, let me tell you, I really wasn't directly involved! It was Bai Youwei, she was the instigator of everything."Tong Xiaoge raised her eyebrows. Although she had expected this answer in her heart, hearing it directly from Xu Yang still made her feel c
Love and Chain Chapter 40 Three Years in Squatting
“According to the criminal law,” Tong Xiaoge continued, “threatening others may result in a prison sentence of up to three years, depending on the severity of the circumstances.”"Your behavior has caused serious social impact and psychological harm to me personally, and the sentence you may face will be increased on this basis."Xu Yang almost collapsed and yelled on the other end of the phone, "Three years? Are you saying I have to go to jail for at least three years?""Not only that." Tong Xiaoge calmly got to the point, "If the court considers that your actions were intentional and premeditated, as well as your threats and continued intimidation towards me, these will all be factors that aggravate the sentence."Xu Yang's voice was full of powerlessness, " No ... No ... I don't want to go to jail. I absolutely cannot go to jail..."Tong Xiaoge stood quietly in front of the window, holding the phone in her hand, listening to Xu Yang's increasi
Love and Chain Chapter 41 You are too naive
A security guard who lives in a small apartment building in the community remembers Tong Xiaoge. Her arrival brought some brightness to this quiet community.That day she was wearing simple jeans and a loose white shirt, her hair was casually tied into a ponytail, and she had a bright smile on her face.The guard's words recorded in the detective's notebook became the key for Fu Chen to solve the mystery.After learning the news, Fu Chen did not hesitate at all. He quickly rushed out of the study and ran straight to the garage.Along the way, his steps were hurried, as if some invisible force was pushing him.He was driving a black Maybach, and the air inside the car was heavy, as if one could sense his anger at the moment.It was late at night and the city lights were flickering outside the car window.There were few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally a few cars passed by quickly, leaving behind a string of taillights.
Love and Chain Chapter 42 It’s all for your own good
Tong Xiaoge's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she leaned forward slightly, as if she saw through the hidden intention in Fu Chen's words:"You are afraid that I will harm your beloved Bai Youwei, right?"Fu Chen's expression changed slightly. He did not expect Tong Xiaoge to understand his intentions in this way.He explained impatiently, "No, this has nothing to do with Bai Youwei. I am doing this for your own good."Tong Xiaoge sneered and sneered at Fu Chen's words, "It has nothing to do with her? Or is it for my own good?""Fu Chen, do you think I will believe it? Every time it comes to the Bai family, your attitude is completely different. Don't you think I can't see it?"Fu Chen's hands clenched into fists unconsciously. Only he knew that in his heart he was actually worried about Tong Xiaoge's safety.His voice was low and almost threatening as he said, "Tong Xiaoge, don't be ungrateful. Just do as I say. It won't do you any go

The air in the room seemed to be frozen. The night breeze outside the window gently blew through the curtains, bringing a hint of coolness, which formed a sharp contrast with the atmosphere indoors .The soft light at the bedside illuminated every corner of the room and also reflected Fu Chen's angry face.He could not accept Tong Xiaoge's heartless rejection, and he could not accept that his image in her heart had fallen to such a level.Tong Xiaoge, who was firmly held by Fu Chen, was terrified and struggled to push Fu Chen away.However, Fu Chen's strength was so great that she could hardly move."You must push me away, right?" Fu Chen threatened, his eyes looking straight at Tong Xiaoge, as if he wanted to see through her heart.Tong Xiaoge's heartbeat quickened and her breathing became rapid.She struggled hard, "Fu Chen, please let go! Doing this will only make me hate you even more!"Fu Chen's rationality completely colla

Fu Chen opened the car door and walked out with heavy steps.His figure elongated in the light, lonely and deserted.The assistant followed closely behind, carefully observing Fu Chen's expression.He didn't know what happened when he was upstairs, he only knew that Fu Chen was in a very bad mood at the moment.Even so, he didn't know how to break the depressing atmosphere.In front of the elevator in the company lobby, Fu Chen suddenly stopped, turned and looked at his assistant, a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes."Don't mention her in front of me anymore."Fu Chen's voice was as cold as if it was carved out of ice, without a trace of warmth.His eyes were empty, as if he was forcing himself to completely erase some deeply buried emotion.The assistant was slightly shocked. He nodded, his voice a little hoarse, "Understood, Mr. Fu."He knew that Tong Xiaoge's name had become a taboo from then on, a taboo th
Love and Chain Chapter 45 Confrontation in Court
"Your behavior has seriously violated professional ethics and even violated the law."Liang Jing pursed her lips tightly, obviously trying hard to control her emotions.She took a deep breath and tried to defend herself, "I... I know I did something wrong. But you don't know, I am hereThe efforts made by Li have never been properly recognized.”"Why do you get all the attention and praise as soon as you arrive, while I..."Tong Xiaoge interrupted her, "Liang Jing, I understand that competition in the workplace can be fierce, but this is by no means an excuse for you to use illegal means to put me at a disadvantage."Lin Shuyu also interrupted at this time, his voice carrying unprecedented severity:"Liang Jing, the evidence is clearly in front of us. I suggest that you cooperate with us and tell us the truth. This is also for your own good."Facing the serious words of the two, Liang Jing finally couldn't hold on any longer. Sh

"According to our client's statement, the defendant approached her and tried to strike up a conversation."She paused, looked around the courtroom, and continued, "The victim rejected the defendant's advances and made her wishes clear.""But the defendant did not stop. He continued to follow her and cornered her in an attempt to commit violence against her."At this time, Tong Xiaoge took out the second piece of evidence, which was a hospital appraisal report.She showed the report to the jury, "This is the appraisal report provided by the hospital, which confirms that the victim did suffer serious sexual violence that night."Bai Haoyang's defense lawyer immediately stood up and tried to refute, "These reports can only prove that the plaintiff suffered sexual acts, but they cannot directly prove that it was my client who did it."Tong Xiaoge said without hesitation, "Indeed, this is only part of the evidence."She tapped the table li

Lin Shuyu's voice was still full of concern, "Okay, Xiaoge, you have to be careful. I will do my best to collect evidence and wait for you to come back."Tong Xiaoge nodded, "Thank you, Brother. I will be in Yuncheng soon."After hanging up the phone, Tong Xiaoge became more certain that she must rush back to Yuncheng as soon as possible to rescue Shi Jinglan's family and not let them get hurt because of her.She went to the hospital's front desk and made arrangements for Grandma Tian's funeral.Then she hurriedly took a taxi and prepared to take the next flight back to Yuncheng.The night breeze blew on her face, but her mood felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her, heavy and urgent.Tong Xiaoge sat by the window, looking at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.There are many problems she needs to solve. Not only does she have to face the overbearing Fu Chen and protect Shi J
Love and Chain Chapter 86 passed away
He knew that once Tong Xiaoge returned to Yuncheng, she would have to face Fu Chen's control again, but he had no choice but to protect her friend with all his strength.Tong Xiaoge got into a taxi. The night breeze gently blew on her face through the half-open window, but she couldn't calm down.She held the phone tightly, her thoughts in a mess, and Fu Chen's cold face and Shi Jinglan's helpless look kept flashing through her mind.The taxi had just gone a short distance when she suddenly slapped her forehead, her heart tightening, "Master, please turn around, I left my ID card at the B&B."The driver nodded and drove the car back the same way.When they arrived at the alley outside the B&B, Tong Xiaoge got off the car quickly, anxiously thinking about returning to the B&B to get her ID card and then rushing back to the airport.She walked quickly back to the B&B, and just as she reached the door, she suddenly saw a figure sneaking away o

One night, Shi Jinglan received a strange phone call. A cold voice came from the other end of the phone:"Miss Shi, if you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being rude."As soon as he finished speaking, the door of Shi Jinglan's house was forced open, and a group of bodyguards in black rushed in.They took control of everyone in Shi Jianguo and Shi Jinglan's homes.Shi Jinglan struggled and roared, "Fu Chen, you are crazy! What you are doing is illegal!"Fu Chen walked in coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Jinglan , I have given you a chance.""Since you are unwilling to cooperate, this is the only way."Shi Jinglan's eyes flashed with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Fu Chen, what do you want?"Fu Chen sneered, "It's very simple. Tell me where Tong Xiaoge is and I can let you go. Otherwise, your whole family will be in turmoil."Shi Jinglan felt a surge of despair in her heart, but she still sai

Grandma Tian left the balcony with a smile. Tong Xiaoge looked at her back and felt a warm feeling in his heart.The early morning sun shines on the quaint town, and the streets are filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.Tong Xiaoge decided to go to the market to buy some fresh vegetables, thinking of making dumplings with Grandma Tian in the evening.She put on simple clothes, walked out of the hotel, and walked towards the market along the bluestone path.The market was bustling with people, vendors were shouting enthusiastically, and the air was filled with the aroma of various foods.Tong Xiaoge stopped in front of the vegetable stall and picked some fresh vegetables.She was in a good mood, and thinking about the dumpling dinner in the evening, the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly."Girl, you bought so many vegetables today. Is it a special day?" asked the vegetable seller with a smile.Tong Xiaoge

"Girl, are you looking for a place to live?" the old woman asked gently, with a kind gleam in her eyes.Tong Xiaoge nodded, a trace of fatigue on her face, "Yes, mother-in-law. Is there any room available?"The old woman nodded and said enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, please follow me, girl."Tong Xiaoge followed the old lady upstairs and walked into a warm little room.The room is not big, but it is decorated very warmly. The bedding on the bed is neat and clean, and you can see a quiet garden outside the window.She put down her luggage, feeling a surge of gratitude."Thank you, mother-in-law. It's so beautiful here." Tong Xiaoge said sincerely.The old woman smiled, her eyes full of love, "As long as the girl likes it. This is a small B&B I have run for many years. Guests say it feels like home here."Tong Xiaoge nodded, and the uneasiness in her heart eased a little.She looked at the old woman in front of her and felt a

The breakfast on the table was barely touched. It was obvious that he had not slept all night and was in an even more irritable mood.Bai Youwei took a deep breath, walked forward, and said softly, "Brother Fu Chen, haven't you had breakfast yet? Health is important, eat something first."Fu Chen looked up at her with only indifference in his eyes, "I have no appetite, it's none of your business."Bai Youwei felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she still kept smiling, "Brother Fu Chen, I know you feel bad, but you must take care of yourself. We will definitely find Tong Xiaoge."Fu Chen looked at her coldly, with a hint of impatience in his tone:"Youwei , you don't know anything. Don't waste your time here. You might as well go help find someone."Bai Youwei's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.She knew that now was not the time to argue with Fu Chen, she had to calm down."Brother Fu Chen, I wi
Love and Chain Chapter 81 Must Find Her
He paced back and forth in the room, his thoughts in confusion, and the figure of Tong Xiaoge kept appearing in his mind.He knew that he could not lose her again, no matter what the cost, he would get her back.At this moment, Shen Lanxiu and Bai Youwei walked in.Seeing Fu Chen's gloomy face, Shen Lanxiu asked with concern, " Chen'er , what's wrong? Have you found Tong Xiaoge?"Fu Chen glanced at them coldly, with a flash of anger in his eyes, "She has left, and the assistant hasn't found her yet."Shen Lanxiu frowned, pretending to be concerned and comforted, " Chen'er , don't worry, we will definitely find her."When Bai Youwei saw this, a trace of pride flashed in her eyes, but there was a concerned expression on her face:"Brother Fu Chen, don't worry too much. Maybe Tong Xiaoge just went out to relax and will be back in a few days."Fu Chen snorted coldly, his eyes flashing coldly, "What do you know? She has been clamorin

She only packed a few items she bought into the suitcase, and she moved very quietly, fearing that she might wake up Fu Chen who was soundly sleeping.The photo on the table caught Tong Xiaoge's attention. It was a photo of them before they became husband and wife.At that time, Fu Chen smiled so brightly, his eyes full of tenderness.Tong Xiaoge gently picked up the photo, brushed her fingertips across Fu Chen's face, tears glistening in her eyes.She took a deep breath, put the photo back where it was, and continued packing her things.Throughout the whole process, Tong Xiaoge tried her best to keep herself calm, but the waves in her heart were difficult to calm.Everything left behind is a farewell to the past, to the former self and Fu Chen.She closed the suitcase gently and went back to the study.There were some of her books and documents there. She picked up a book whose cover had turned a little yellow. It was the first

Bai Youwei walked over gently and said softly, "Brother Fu Chen, you have already drunk a lot. If you drink more, your body will not be able to bear it."Fu Chen ignored her and continued drinking.Bai Youwei frowned slightly, feeling secretly anxious.She knew she had to act quickly.She walked over to the wine cabinet and pretended to pick up a new bottle of red wine.While Fu Chen was not paying attention, he poured the prepared medicine powder into the wine glass, then walked back to Fu Chen with the wine glass."Brother Fu Chen, I know you feel bad, I can drink with you at worst."Bai Youwei said softly, handing the wine glass to Fu Chen.Fu Chen took the wine glass in a daze and drank it all.He didn't notice anything unusual about the alcohol, he just felt his head getting heavier and his vision getting blurry.Bai Youwei felt proud when she saw this.She knew that the medicine had begun to take effect.
