Chapter 45

At the Sea City Deep Bay International Airport, a tall figure walked out of the green lane.

Li Hengzhi was wearing a black suit with a white shirt inside and it gave off a clean feel. The custom-made suit brought out his figure quite perfectly.

The bitter cold vision reflected through his amber-colored eyes gave a ‘stay away’ kind of look so even if one recognized him, one would not dare to go near or engage in small-talk with him.

This was a convenient protective shield for Li Hengzhi. He disliked polite and deliberate approaches by unfamiliar people.

Yan Hai was catching up to him with luggage in the trolley. “Mr. Li, I’ve just checked the weather forecast. It might rain afterwards. Is it better to go straight to the hotel?”

“Rain…” Li Hengzhi murmured. His eyes deepened. “Any thunder?”

She appeared in his mind upon any mention of thunder.

What happened that night appeared clearly in his mind.

Yan Hai nodded, “Yes, a thundershower. This kind of weather is always accompanied by thundershowers. Madam kept reminding us not to be late. Or do we go over first? The wedding is about to begin.”

“Is Qian Tao going?”

“Eh?” Yan Hai was dumbfounded. “Miss Qian will surely go, won’t she? That’s her sister’s wedding.”

“Let’s go.”

***

Where…was she?

Qian Tao awoke in the dark and when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a messy place. All around her were rusty waste products. The place looked like a waste plant.

She wanted to open her mouth but realized that her mouth was covered with duct tape.

“Help…?” She wanted to call for help but when she was just about to try to open her mouth, psst…the duct tape over her mouth gave way.

Hey…movies were all lies…

“Boss, she’s awake!”

Qian Tao immediately shut her mouth and closed her eyes. She did not want to know what they looked like.

She could feel many men walking toward her. If they were doing this for money, it was still alright, but if they were to rape her or take her life…

Unconsciously, she gulped.

“You…what do you want? I did not see your faces…don’t kill me…”

Wasn’t she afraid? Of course she was. It was a kidnap and before she knew their intentions, her heart was pounding fast.

“Miss Qian, don’t be afraid.” The man who looked like the leader of the kidnappers laughed and said, “Oh no, or should we be calling you Mrs. Xiao today? Don’t worry, we don’t want to take your life. If you could just call Xiao Yuanhang, everything can be discussed.”

Qian Tao was taken aback and very quickly realized what was going on. She shook her head and explained, “You have kidnapped…”

Kidnapped the wrong person!

The person they wanted to kidnap was Qian Churui!

Qian Tao was frustrated! Why did she choose that time to go out of the house and be mistaken for Qian Churui? Why was she so unlucky?

“Don’t play tricks on me!” The man who had just laughed turned fierce. “When I talk to you nicely, do as I say! Tell me the password!”

Oh, so they had searched her bag but her mobile phone had been switched off and they did not know the password.

Qian Tao obediently gave them the password. She did not want to provoke them and would wait for the right timing to explain.

The kidnappers scrolled her phone and mumbled, as if telling her, “If only your husband could spare us, we would not harm you!”
