Tang Beibei sensed danger when the door was closed.

She looked at Madam Wu with a cold gaze.

Madam Wu quickly waved her hand. “It’s not a kidnapping. Beibei, you’ve misunderstood. I just want you to join me for cake. I don’t have any other intentions. These two people must have been arranged by my son to protect me!”

Tang Beibei tightened her grip on her bag and made a defensive gesture.

“Protect you? Why don’t you let me go out and make a phone call? Madam Wu, you invited me, and I have the right to refuse!”

“Well… Just wait a bit longer. My son might be here very soon. Beibei, don’t misunderstand.” 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.

“This 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?”

Wu Zhen also realized the seriousness of the matter. “Don’t be angry. I’ll contact my son. Beibei, I won’t harm you. I definitely won’t.”

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 didn’t 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, “What did your son say? Madam Wu, is your son using you to deliberately imprison me?”

“No, my son doesn’t even know you. How could he harm you? Beibei, don’t make baseless assumptions.” Madam Wu was still protective of her son, but her son’s 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. “Then, I’m leaving now!”

Tang Beibei pointed at the door and said, “You can’t force me to celebrate your birthday with you, Madam Wu. I saved you and the favor I did for you doesn’t give you the right to kidnap me!”

Wu Zhen’s expression turned ugly.

She was truly grateful that Tang Beibei had saved her out of kindness, but she didn’t expect things to turn out like this.

“Beibei, don’t be too anxious. My son is genuinely concerned about me, that’s why he arranged for someone to protect me. He didn’t mean to keep you from leaving. I’ll go talk to them.”

Wu Zhen went to open the door, but the two men guarding outside reached out to stop her.

“Old Madam, Young Master will be here soon. You should stay inside for a while.”

Wu Zhen said, “I’m not leaving, but Beibei still has some matters to attend to. If she wants to leave, you can let her through.”

The two men looked at each other. The person they were guarding was Tang Beibei.

“Old Madam, she’ll stay here with you. She can’t leave.”

“Why not? I am the Old Madam. I order you to step aside and let Beibei go.”

The two of them still apologized and reached out to stop her. “No, she has to stay here. Otherwise, Young Master will teach us a lesson.”

“What do you mean? Did Young Master ask you to keep an eye on her?”

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 Beibei’s face darkened. “Madam 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.”

“No, he wouldn’t. Why would my son do such a thing? He’s not a bad person.”

Tang Beibei couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. She couldn’t get out if the door couldn’t be opened.

She walked around the room, wondering why they wanted to imprison her.

She didn’t know Wu Zhen’s son. He only imprisoned her and didn’t hurt her. Therefore, he wasn’t targeting her, but the people related to her.

Jiang Jingchen.

The thought of someone using her to threaten Jiang Jingchen made her anxious.

She rubbed her fingers and realized that her ring was missing.

“Where’s my ring?”

She searched the room.

“What ring?” Wu Zhen looked bewildered.

“My ring, my wedding ring!”

Tang Beibei was anxious. The staff must have taken her ring when she was relaxed.

Her ring wasn’t 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.

“The staff must have taken it. Madam Wu, please ask the staff to return my ring!”

Wu Zhen didn’t expect this to happen. She quickly called the staff through the internal line, but the person who entered wasn’t 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.

“She’s off duty, so her phone is unreachable? I lost my ring, and I just wanted to ask if she had seen it.”

The staff retorted unwillingly, “Your ring isn’t here, that means it’s not here. Don’t accuse us of stealing your stuff.”

Tang Beibei laughed angrily. “When did I say that she stole my things? I’m just asking if she saw it. My things are missing. Can’t I ask? Is this your service attitude?”

Madam Wu also chimed in, “Beibei lost her ring. Can you please help look and ask the staff member?”

The staff member was still unaware of Wu Zhen’s son’s plan, so her tone was very certain.

“Madam Wu, if the item was lost here, we would certainly help find it. But we don’t even know if her ring was lost here.”

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!

“My ring isn’t here. I’m afraid it’s not in this beauty salon either. Heh, you guys are ganging up on me.”

Wu Zhen was anxious. “Beibei, you’ve really misunderstood. I didn’t scheme against you.”

Tang Beibei looked at her coldly. “If you didn’t scheme against me, let me leave this place!”

Wu Zhen’s expression was dark as she stared at the tightly shut door.

She comforted Tang Beibei softly, “Don’t worry. Although I don’t know what’s happening, I’ll definitely help you leave. Beibei, believe me. I really don’t have any intention of harming you.”

Tang Beibei’s primary concern now was her husband. She was afraid that he would be threatened and harmed.

“Madam Wu, don’t blame me for being harsh. It’s meaningless for you to have any thoughts now. What you should do now is to let me leave!”

Madam Wu called her son again, and the call went through.

She asked directly, “Wu Rui, are you trying to harm Beibei?”

“Mother, it’s not like that. I’ll be there shortly. Wait a moment.”

“We can wait for you, but why can’t we let Beibei leave the beauty salon? Wu Rui, tell us honestly, are you using me to imprison Beibei?”

“Wu 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?”

“Mother, I didn’t mean to harm her. I just wanted her to stay there for a while.”

Tang Beibei was furious. She rushed to Wu Zhen and questioned, “You’re imprisoning me because you’re scheming against my husband!”

“If you harmed my husband, I won’t go easy on your mother!”

But Wu Rui laughed. “You won’t. Isn’t the purpose of you studying medicine to save people?”

“Since you’ve already figured it out, there’s no need to hide anything.”

“I do need you to stay in the beauty salon. Miss Tang, I have no intention of harming you. Please don’t worry.”

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!
