Tang Feng remembered someone walking up to his table at the coffee shop. He had thought Chen Ming Xu had returned from the restroom and was marveling at his speed when he looked up to see Su Qi Cheng. The man had beamed at him before covering the lower part of his face with a paper towel. The towel had been dipped in some sort of chemical and smelled downright awful. Tang Feng remembered feeling disgusted by the smell before losing consciousness and all his strength.

And when he woke, he was here.

"President Su, there's no need to go through all this trouble if you wanted to meet with me. A simple phone call would've been enough." Tang Feng felt a bit weak and leaned against the stack of pillows behind him. The drug that Su Qi Cheng had used to knock him out still hadn't fully left his system. Besides having a headache, he also felt an uncomfortable weight on his chest. This had been totally out of his expectations. Did this count as an abduction or a kidnapping?

"You don't have to worry. I won't harm you. If I did, Lu Tian Chen and Charles would never let me off alive." Su Qi Cheng smiled faintly. Despite his words, he didn't seem the least bit worried about the repercussions of his actions and the possibility of Lu Tian Chen and Charles coming for revenge later. Rather, he appeared relaxed and pleased with himself. He stood up and placed the glass in his hands on a nearby table.

Taking advantage of the moment, Tang Feng glanced around and took in his surroundings. The curtains hadn't been completely pulled shut. Judging from the light that shot through the crack, it was the afternoon. He shouldn't have been unconscious for too long. That meant the place he was at now was close to the city.

"Did you bring me here because of Ge Chen?" Tang Feng pulled his eyes away from the curtains silently. He snuck glances at the furniture inside the room; everything appeared normal. There was a closet, a table, and a TV. However, there weren't any picture frames around the room. The table was also too clean and the bed sheets were freshly laundered.

This had to be a place Su Qi Cheng rarely frequented. Tang Feng wasn't even sure if it belonged to Su Qi Cheng.

Holding a copy of the newspaper in his hand, Su Qi Cheng walked over to sit on the upholstered chair beside the bed. He crossed his legs and spread open the newspaper. "I heard you'll be going to America to film for a movie next month. Congratulations."

"Thank you." Tang Feng supported his head with one hand and raked his hair with the other. "Did President Su bring me here to have a chat?"

"Am I not allowed to? Despite having come across each other often, we haven't had the chance to sit down and have a conversation together."

"We had a conversation together back at the riding fields." Tang Feng deliberately dragged the conversation back to a topic related to Ge Chen. He could only think of one reason that Su Qi Cheng would kidnap him: Ge Chen.
