"Let her go." he ordered.

They let go of ShuShu resentfully, and the rat, frustrated, hoisted its belt and backed instinctively into the corner. She was frightened by what she had just seen.

The masked man lifted his foot and kicked the rat in the chest. "Eh!" Lao Shu collapsed to the ground with a thud. He clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Boss …"

"Don't touch her," the man pointed at the jacket on the ground, indicating that they should bring it with them.

A group of people walked out, and the metal door was slammed shut again.

They were talking quietly outside, and Shu-Shu went to the door and put her ear to the iron door, but they were talking so quietly that she couldn't hear them, except that the man didn't use a microphone.

Fear came from the unknown. Who was this person that they called 'Boss'? He was wearing a mask and a voice modulator in front of her because he was afraid that she would recognize him. Was he someone she knew? Tang Qiangqing, Tang Qiangqing, what are you playing around with me for now? If I leave now, won't I be able to vent your anger? You want to force me to death?

Shushu felt goosebumps all over his body.

When they were done talking, they left one of the men behind to watch. In the secret room, the exhausted Shu Shu tried her best to prop herself up. The cold pain caused her to wake up. The slap on her cheek was now burning painfully. She slowly moved her body to lean against the iron wall, making her body even colder! Her mouth was full of blood. She could feel the tang of blood and her entire body was filthy and in a sorry state. If she looked in the mirror, she would probably be shocked too!

Not caring about the humidity or the cold, she lay down slowly on her back. Hearing her heartbeat still thumping, the sound of her breathing, she was glad that she was still alive and well.

Shu Shu smoothed down the hair on her forehead and slowly closed her eyes. The fear in her heart never left her! Who was that person? Why did they find out at the last moment? They must have taken my coat to threaten Ling Qiao! Damn you, Tang Siqing! What are you trying to threaten Ling Qiao for? Could this be your so-called true love? Hate

Damn it, scary!

It had been three days since she left her room. She had locked herself in and knew that Ling Qiao had sent someone to keep an eye on her. The longer it was, the more worried she became. She had planned to secretly send Shu away, but Li Changzhi still hadn't called.

After hesitating for a while, she called Lee Chang Zai again and again to ask about the situation, but her phone was turned off. She had to give it up, thinking that maybe Li Chang Zai was worried about the phone being overheard, so she turned it off.

She went online to read the news, but there was no news about Shu being kidnapped. It seemed like Ling Qiao had suppressed the news very well. Indeed, regarding the matter of Ling Qiao's life and death, Ling Qiao would definitely pay more attention to it.

Hearing her mother say that he had come over last night and had talked to his grandfather about something, she felt very uneasy. Ling Qiao was becoming more and more uneasy as he played his cards.

"Dong Dong", the message notification rang out. She opened the mailbox carelessly, but the contents of the mailbox surprised her. The short message was, "Patiently wait and see." The email was from Li Changzhi.

What do you mean? Didn't you say that it was all arranged? Why are we waiting now? Did something go wrong?

Tang Thirty-Six felt his heart beating wildly as he stayed in his room, his heart pounding in an inexplicable manner. Was it because they didn't do it well enough, or was it because Ling Qiao was too smart and could guess everything?

He would patiently wait and see. Perhaps, no news was good news. Tang Beiqing comforted herself.

It was early in the morning. The Ling Family had all woken up early. They could not sleep and were worrying about all sorts of things. Ling Qiao had been living at home for the past few days. In the company's home, it was 2.1am. In the morning, he had drunk the millet porridge cooked by his mother. His stomach was warm and he believed that today would be a good start.

Hu Xin didn't nag anymore. There was no news of Shu Shu's kidnapping, so she was just as worried.

"Mom, where are you and dad planning to travel to?"

"Let's wait for ShuShu to come back before we say anything else. We don't have the mood to go out and play right now."

"Alright, I'll find her."

When she arrived at the office, Guo Qing brought a courier over, "CEO, here's your courier. It's written that you are to take it down yourself."

Ling Qiao took the courier. He did not order anything, so he was skeptical about the courier business. He quickly opened the courier. Inside the plastic bag was a dirty little jacket.

Guo Qing said in bewilderment, "Who did this mischievous joke?! Did you send it wrong? "

Ling Qiao furrowed his brows. He tore open the plastic bag and took out the entire piece of clothing. It was a beige white suit with a wet mud stain on it. His left sleeve was torn, and the lace lining was hanging out.

This definitely wasn't a mistake, Ling Qiao immediately reacted, "Guo Qing, hurry and find out where this delivery came from. Who sent it, hurry and check it."

Guo Qing also realized what was going on, "Alright!"

Although he had not seen Shu Shu wear this jacket, her clothes had been completely burnt by the fire. This should be a new one, Ling Qiao was absolutely sure that this was the case.

Ling Qiao picked up the phone immediately, "Hello?"

"Hello, Ling Qiao?"

It was a very strange female voice, as if it was stuck in his throat, but Ling Qiao didn't have any time to think about it. "It's me."

"I have your most beloved woman in my hands. I want fifty million in cash, or else you'll have to wait for her body to be collected."

"Fine, fifty million, right? Here, but don't touch a single hair on her head."

"Ling Qiao is Ling Qiao after all. That's how straightforward he is. You should prepare first, I will contact you later."

"Alright, but I need fifty million in cash and I need some time to gather all of it. You …" Without waiting for Ling Qiao to finish speaking, a "beep beep beep" sound came from the other side of the phone. The other side had already cut off the call.

Damn, just a little more to track the source of the call.

Ling Qiao took out the tape and listened to it again. The female voice on the phone became more and more awkward as she listened, as if her voice had changed. However, he sounded very familiar with some of the sounds.

The kidnappers were really hungry, asking for fifty million and asking for cash. But as long as he could keep them safe, fifty million was worth it.

Ling Qiao calmly thought about it. This matter had exceeded his expectations. If it really was Tang Zeqing and Li Changzhi who had plotted this, then why would they ask him for money? Isn't that a contradiction! Or maybe, even if they wanted money, would they tear the tickets?!

Tear vote... Remembering that Shu Shu was in danger and that he could only sit and wait, Ling Qiao felt a twinge in his heart. It hurt!

He reminded himself to calm down and think of countless possibilities, each one of which made him feel apprehensive.

Deng Zijun returned, but he did not reveal himself. He secretly helped Ling Qiao search for the whereabouts of Li Changzhi's group. He quickly found some clues.

"CEO, you're right, there's definitely a problem with Zhu Yixiang. He left T City for Singapore a few days ago, and there's a record of him going abroad at the airport. Strangely, Singapore doesn't have any records of his stay and consumption. I suspect he left Singapore, but I can't find out where he went."

"Is it possible to come back to T City?"

"It's very possible that going abroad is just a trick. Give me a bit more time, and I will find out."

"Alright." Ling Qiao took a deep breath and instructed, "Zi Jun, thank you for your hard work. You have to find Shu Shu's whereabouts as soon as possible. She has already been missing for three days …" It was really hard to imagine how the past three days had been spent in comfort.

Deng Zijun felt the same way, coming to this step, he had a responsibility he could not shirk, "I know, I will do my best!"

In the past, he did not investigate in detail, but now that Shu Shu had disappeared, even if Ling Qiao did not look for him, he would still investigate. He had once stepped into that sinful deep hole, but fortunately, Ling Qiao had managed to drag him out in time. In the short span of a few months, from blankness to calmness, he finally realized that he had always neglected the most ordinary happiness by his side.

Li Changzhi was a sinister person, but his weakness was that he was too impetuous. Zhu Ji was a very cunning person and had a very flexible mind, but his weakness was that he had no principles and looked at the money in the same way. As for Zhu Yixiang, he knew that Zhu Yixiang was a famous producer in the past. However, there was definitely a problem with his character, and he was also extremely lecherous.

Deng Zijun quickly searched for information regarding Zhu Yixiang. He knew that Zhu Yixiang had a criminal record. When he was young, he had been in the underworld and had spent three years in prison for a kidnapping and extortion case. But he was also talented enough to create a lot of songs in prison, to publish them after going out, and to be accepted by the public, so he moved into the entertainment industry step by step, from a singer to a producer.

This discovery could be said to be a breakthrough. Deng Zijun then entered the file system to investigate the details of Zhu Yixiang's kidnapping in the past.

"Drink your saliva." A pretty girl put a glass of water on the table.

Deng Zijun's eyes did not leave the screen, one hand did not leave the mouse, but the other hand held the woman in his arms, "Thank you, for rushing back and forth with me. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's no trouble at all. I'm willing to accompany you."

Deng Zijun turned his head and kissed her cheek, "Little Yun, thankfully you understood me."

Little Yun sat on his lap, her two hands on his neck as she smiled and gave him a kiss back, "Just treat me better. If you dare to let me down, then I'll …" Ka, I'll kill you! "

Deng Zijun was stunned, and his face stiffened.

"Hahahaha, I'm just joking. Look at how scared you are. Are you really going to let me down?"

"How is this possible?!" Deng Zijun tried his best to maintain a smile.

Shang Xiaoyun pinched his face and said coquettishly, "I also know you're not going to make it. Go ahead, I won't disturb you." She got up and walked out of the study.

Looking at Little Yun's leaving figure, Deng Zijun's brows wrinkled. Regret, helplessness, self-blame, they all poured into his heart.

People are always restless to the situation so they make mistakes, people always make mistakes to know to repent, life is dull yearning for excitement, exciting and nostalgic dull, he really wanted to erase that paragraph.

He knew that Ling Qiao was waiting for him to testify. Of course, he also knew the price he had to pay for doing so. Fortunately, Ling Qiao did not force him.

After coming back, he saw a lot of news. Tang Qing was pregnant again, but she miscarried again. No one knew better than him the cause of that child's miscarriage. He was sorry about Ling Qiao, who had always trusted him, and even more sorry about Shang Xiaoyun, who had always taken care of him.

Now he could only atone for his sins. He swore to himself that he would definitely help Ling Qiao find Shu Shu.
