Chapter 52

He was holding a black leather suitcase.

She had never thought that Li Hengzhi would really come for her.

His appearance was unexpected, as if he had suddenly appeared in the rain. Qian Tao was surprised but was delighted. She had mixed feelings, a kind of weird feeling beyond expression.

She had even forgotten that she was in the rain and stood dumbfounded looking at him. Rain kept dripping down from her eyelashes, blurring her vision.

The liquid which flowed down her cheeks was warm.

It was not rain but tears.

When she thought nobody cared if she lived or died, Li Hengzhi appeared. He was a man who did not have that close a relationship with her.

Qian Tao thought that perhaps if she had died, he would not be able to get his fifty million dollars back, so she had to live to be able to repay him.

Li Hengzhi was a businessman who would not get himself involved in a losing business.

This definitely was the reason.

However, no matter what the reason was, the appearance of Li Hengzhi muddled her thoughts.

Li Hengzhi frowned a little when he saw that she did not move. He then walked toward her.

His brown brogues were originally very clean, but stepping on the muddy road outside the waste plant covered them in mud.

Suddenly, Li Hengzhi’s usual calm and steady look shifted. He stared behind Qian Tao and shouted loudly, “Come over quickly!”

“Ah!” Before Qian Tao could react, she was pulled backwards by someone. She staggered for a while, then adjusted her steps and did not fall into the mud.

With her whole body wet, Qian Tao turned and saw the leader of the kidnapper. Her eyes were filled with shock and helplessness.

Did he regret setting her free?

He caught hold of Qian Tao. The sharp dagger was once again pointed to her neck and he roared at Li Hengzhi, “Step back! Don’t come near! If you take a step forward, I’ll kill her!”

Qian Tao didn’t know what was happening. She was horror-stricken. “Brother Lee…what happened?”

Why was there such a big difference in his emotions?

“He called the police!” The kidnapper was agitated. “He called the f*cking police!”

Qian Tao’s eyes widened. She regretted so much.

If she knew this would happen, she would have run! What was she doing standing there, looking at Li Hengzhi? ‘Qian Tao, oh Qian Tao, don’t you know that eroticism reduces one’s awareness of crisis?’

Li Hengzhi turned around and frowned. He looked maliciously at the policemen who had exposed their hiding place because they were too anxious.

The leader of the police shook.

That look was furious! His lips were pursed and he emitted an aura that sent shivers down people’s spine. His look almost made them think that they were not on the same side.

Qian Tao could not open her eyes with the rain falling on her. She kept blinking but dared not move as the dagger was against her neck. The cold feeling of the dagger caused her to fear breathing or swallowing, as she was afraid that it would slice her skin or even a blood vessel.

Li Hengzhi threw the umbrella aside and raised his right hand. With a cold look, he said, “The ransom you requested.”

“Who asked you to call the police? You didn’t want to save her! If this is the case, I’ll kill her!”

“I’ll increase the ransom.” Although he was at a disadvantage, he was still calm, except for one short moment’s switch of looks and nobody knew what he was thinking. “But if you kill her, you’ll get nothing.”
