Chapter 48

“I…I have been kidnapped.”

Qian Tao believed that it was easy to make out, through her voice, that she was trembling. What followed was Xiao Yuanhang’s sneer. “Is it meaningful to play this trick on me on my wedding day? Do you think I’m foolish and that you can treat me like a toy? I’ve told you that I won’t take another look at you. So, even if you’ve been kidnapped, what has that to do with me?”

The kidnappers heard every word that Xiao Yuanhang said and they were all surprised.

Then, very quickly, one man snarled, “Don’t pretend! Xiao Yuanhang, don’t you think that I wouldn’t dare hurt your woman! If you pretend further, I’ll hurt her immediately! Wouldn’t it be a joke if your woman is raped on your wedding day?”

He sneered even more. “Did you believe her when she told you she’s my woman? Idiot! I don’t have time to play such games with all of you. Don’t ever think that I will leave Churui and come for you by getting a few people to pretend that you’ve been kidnapped.”

Wait.

The kidnappers were confused. What did he mean when he said to leave Churui and come for you? Qian Churui? To leave Qian Churui would mean…

What the f*ck, who was the person in front of them?

At that moment, Qian Tao had mixed feelings which were beyond expression.

She did not say anything but she heard the voice on the other end, “Kidnappers, right? She has nothing to do with me. Feel free to do anything to her. Ah, I’d suggest you kill her. I hate this woman! Qian Tao, you’d better die! If you die today, I’ll still collect your corpse for your sister’s sake. I’ll see you during the next Ching Ming Festival.”

The call ended. It was cruel!

She knew she shouldn’t have any fantasies but these heartless words of his were like deep grudges against her. She raised her head and laughed out loud. She could hear nothing, not even the roaring sound of thunder. Her heart was full of desolation and tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes in the midst of her sad laughter.

“I…” the kidnappers were dumbfounded when the call ended.

Such a cruel man!

Wasn’t Qian Tao the other daughter of the mayor? Even if she was not his fiancée, she was his fiancée’s sister! He could see her die and not save her? What the hell!

They drew back the dagger pointing at Qian Tao. They stood gazing at one another, questioning what they should do next.

Their initial intention was not to hurt anyone but to use this to threaten Xiao Yuanhang. Now that he could not be threatened, everyone was unsure of what to do.

They looked at the eldest daughter of the Qian family and suddenly felt she was pitiful.

“Boss…what should we do now?”

“Damn…what could be done? We have kidnapped her. Call her father. No matter what, we must get some money!”

“…the call has gone unanswered again!”

They couldn’t get through to Qian Chenhai. Every time they tried, his line was busy. That made the kidnappers explode. “Young Missy Qian! What crazy family members do you have? Does anyone care about your wellbeing?”

Qian Tao didn’t seem to hear.

“Boss, boss, err…err…Li Hengzhi…? That Li Hengzhi?” The kidnappers couldn’t believe their eyes.

“Quickly, answer the call.”

Qian Tao’s eyes sparkled. The name ‘Li Hengzhi’ appeared without warning.

“Hello?” Li Hengzhi’s deep voice was heard from the other end of the line with a threatening tone which sounded like “You’ve finally answered my call”, as if he was going to get mad the next second.

Li Hengzhi..

It was his voice.
