Chapter 14

As the driver drove them to the princess’s opulent mansion in the Western Suburbs, Fu Qing and Elisa chattered nonstop.

“My parents are very fussy and sticklers for details. They are adamant about using me as a political pawn in this marriage. The more they insist that I follow their bidding and hold me at knifepoint, the more I’ll snub them.”

When Elisa opened up about her problems at home, she grew more incensed. She decided that hiding here would be much better than facing her ill-fated future. However, she didn’t expect the guards her parents sent to locate her this fast.

Fu Qing gave Elisa a sympathetic glance, but she didn’t say anything.

Her own situation might also be regarded as a business marriage, yet Fu Qing didn’t seem to detest it as much as Elisa did.

They went on chatting about other matters when they heard a loud bang outside. It seemed like their car had hit something in front.

They were forced to stop in the middle of the highway. After saying his apologies for the disruption, the driver stepped out of the vehicle to investigate. He fell to the ground right after opening the car door.

“Listen to me and stay alert.”

Fu Qing’s fast reflexes told her something wasn’t right, so she warned the princess at once. She immediately pressed Elisa’s head down and cautiously pushed her forward to duck behind the passenger’s seat.

They were clearly under assault.

Outside the car window, a tough man’s flinty voice could be heard.

“Step out of the car, Princess Elisa. We have no intention of hurting you, so please do as I say. Come with us obediently.”

“What do we do?”

Elisa’s voice was shaky. Her small face looked distressed, and there was no trace of blood on it.

“Just calm down and don’t panic.”

Fortunately, Fu Qing was able to think on her feet and promptly pulled out her phone. Before five or six guys could force open the car, she had already sent out a distress alert. Before long, she heard hurried and booted footsteps approaching the car.

Fu Qing glanced in the direction where the hubbub came from and warily opened the other car door.

“Princess, I want you to run as fast as you can. I’ll hold them up so you can escape. You should go without me. Don’t forget to call the cops once you’re somewhere safe.”

“Okay, you can count it. Please take care.”

Elisa was completely terrorized at this point. The last thing she wanted was to become an extra burden by asking any more questions, especially now that they’re at the brink of life and death.

Fu Qing disengaged the lock when she saw the brawny men banging on the door near her. As one of them pounded the car nonstop, she directly knocked him down to the ground in one swift and impactful blow.

“Run, Princess Elisa! Don’t look back and just keep running!”

After hearing Fu Qing’s cue, Elisa dashed far into a narrow street with all her strength, and she didn’t even attempt to slow down to catch her breath or look back.

When the guys saw the princess run off, they grew miffed and attempted to chase her before she could gain some distance. They planned to leave Fu Qing to pursue the princess, but she thwarted their plan.

She moved quickly and did an excellent job of arresting them. In one fast motion, two more puny assailants tumbled to the ground.

One of them, whose hair was bleached in a bright yellow color, coughed out spittle and spat at his colleagues.

“Dammit! It’s too late now for us to get hold of the princess. Let’s take this wench instead, so she can pay the price of her foolishness.”

“Agreed. Let’s bring her back!”

The guys rubbed their hands together indignantly, with perverted expressions on their faces, and formed a circle to hold Fu Qing down in the middle.

Fu Qing’s strength gradually dwindled at this point, and the three of them joined forces at once. When they saw her cracking under pressure and looking vulnerable, they grabbed the opportunity to pin her to the ground. They quickly tied both her hands and feet so she couldn’t counter-attack.

After struggling for a bit, Fu Qing was gasping for breath. Finally, she agreed to be carried to their car, which was concealed in the darkness. They directly drove all the way to the city’s outskirts, into a remote village.

A silver SUV pulled over not far away after they left. Fu Wanwan exited the vehicle and stared at the receding lights of the car.

“At long last, you’ve been captured. Let’s see how you can get away this time.”

With an evil gleam in her eye, she let out a maniacal laughter.

She looked up and resolved that the sky indeed had eyes. She initially thought she had blown her chance by not disposing of Fu Qing earlier at the winery. What she didn’t expect was for Fu Qing to risk herself again, only to end up straight in the kidnappers’ hands to save the princess.

Fu Wanwan thought it would be excellent if Fu Qing died on the spot.

Just as Fu Wanwan was feeling smug about the situation, Princess Elisa soon showed up, this time accompanied by her designated sentries.

“Where is she? Where did they go?” Looking around and seeing Fu Wanwan nearby, she quickly approached her and asked,

“Excuse me, miss. Have you seen a woman here earlier? I left her for a while to get some help. The last time I saw her, she was confronting a few mean-looking men.”

“Yes. I saw them dragging her inside a vehicle, but it was hard to identify in the dark. Then they sped off on the interstate.”

Fu Wanwan pointed in the northern direction, and Elisa quickly thanked her. She hopped inside her car and directed her men to proceed northbound.

As the princess’ black Range Rover sped off, Fu Wanwan’s eyes gleamed evilly in the streetlights.

She just flagrantly lied to Elisa.

After that group of rambunctious men loaded Fu Qing into a pickup truck, they actually traveled east. Their destination was certainly nowhere near the northern suburbs.

Shortly after the incident, Zhan Qi and Old Master Fu were alerted about Fu Qing’s abduction..
