Chapter 422 - 422 Capture

422 Capture

As soon as Ze’en said this, everyone felt a cold sweat on their backs.

Li Zecheng held his breath and focused on driving.

Qiao An looked around. It was mid-afternoon, and there were few pedestrians on the streets. Moreover, this area was relatively quiet. If anything happened to them, it might be difficult to get help.

Qiao An hurriedly called Huo Xiaoran for help. Unexpectedly, as soon as the call was picked up, the car collided violently and the phone was thrown out.

!!

On the other end, Huo Xiaoran kept calling Qiao An, “An’an, are you alright? I heard a crash. What happened?”

Qiao An didn’t respond.

Huo Xiaoran immediately had a bad feeling. In an instant, his blood seemed to have frozen. He shouted hysterically, “An’an.”

However, no matter how much he shouted, he could not hear An’an’s reply. Huo Xiaoran’s hand that was holding the phone began to tremble. The Li brothers also realized that something was wrong. They asked with concern, “Xiaoran, what’s going on?”

“An’an got into a car accident.” At that moment, Huo Xiaoran clearly felt as if his legs were filled with lead and his entire body was weak. However, for some reason, he ran quickly.

Li Tingfeng gloated. “Qiao An just needs to go through some hardships.”

Unexpectedly, First Madam suddenly came back to her senses and reminded them, “Did Qiao An take Zecheng’s car back?”

This time, the Li family could not sit still.

If Qiao An and Huang Yushu’s family had an accident at the same time, and this happened when Old Madam Li had just died, this matter would be tragic.

No matter how hard-hearted they were, they could not ignore it.

Li Tingfeng had mixed feelings. He usually hated Li Zecheng and the others, especially when Li Zecheng hit him. He couldn’t wait to teach Li Zecheng a lesson.

However, now that he heard that Li Zecheng and Li Ze’en had a car accident, he did not seem happy at all.

Seeing that the men were frightened out of their wits, First Madam shouted anxiously, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take a look.”

Then, the three Li brothers traced Li Zecheng’s route.

They discovered Li Zecheng’s car at a quiet intersection. Huo Xiaoran had already arrived at the scene of the car accident ahead of them.

They hurriedly got out of the car and ran to Li Zecheng’s car. When they saw his car, the bonnet of the car was deformed. Clearly, there were signs of impact. However, it did not look like a serious car accident.

Huo Xiaoran was anxiously calling the police. “Four people have disappeared collectively. The car was destroyed, and my wife’s phone was left in the bushes. Please send people to locate them immediately.”

Li Tingye felt that Huo Xiaoran was making a mountain out of a molehill. “Xiaoran, in my opinion, it’s just a simple matter. They might be looking for a solution. Are you exaggerating? What if they come back later?”

Huo Xiaoran hung up and looked back at Li Tingye. His voice trembled. “An’an and the others were kidnapped.”

Li Tinglei was also surprised. “Xiaoran, how can you be so sure?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Because their phones were left at the scene.”

Everyone also felt that this was unusual. After all, who could leave their phones now?

Huo Xiaoran gave his brothers a few short instructions before getting into his car to continue his search for Qiao An.

He couldn’t wait there. Qiao An was in danger. No matter how slim the hope was, he had to rush to find her.

He was extremely worried now. Six years ago, when Qiao An had been kidnapped. Li Zecheng had saved her negligently. Qiao An was afraid that the kidnapper would hurt her and did not hesitate to jump off the building to die to protect her innocence.

Now that Qiao An had encountered kidnapping again, he was afraid that the kidnapper would hurt her, causing her to have terrifying thoughts of committing suicide again.

After an unknown period of time, Qiao An woke up slowly.

She realized that she was tied up in an abandoned factory. Li Zecheng, Li Ze’en, and Huang Yushu were kidnapped with her.

The kidnapper was sitting on a chair, staring at them with his eagle eyes.

“Who’s Qiao An?” the fierce-looking man asked.

Qiao An swallowed.

She was about to answer when Li Zecheng suddenly said, “There’s no Qiao An here.”

Qiao An looked at Li Zecheng in surprise. Recalling how he had abandoned her to the kidnappers a few years ago, she felt that Li Zecheng was clearly much more responsible today.

His transformation moved her a little.

The kidnapper kicked Li Zecheng ruthlessly and said angrily, “Who are you fooling? I received internal news that Qiao An is in your car.”

When Huang Yushu saw Li Zecheng being beaten, she quickly stopped him. “Stop.”

The kidnapper turned to look at Huang Yushu. “Tell me, who is Qiao An?”

A conflicted look flashed across Huang Yushu’s eyes.

She only wanted to protect her children. If betraying Qiao An could protect Li Ze’en and Li Zecheng’s lives, she could give up on Qiao An.

However, Li Zecheng kept shaking his head at her.

Huang Yushu knew that Li Zecheng had actually regretted all these years. He regretted not saving Qiao An back then, making her change from loving him to wanting to destroy him with all her might.

He finally found his conscience. He had done so much to hurt Qiao An, so he would protect her this time.

She shivered. “There’s really no Qiao An here.”

The kidnapper walked up to Li Ze’en and roughly raised her chin, touching her beautiful face with his thumb. “Are you Qiao An?”

Even though Li Ze’en was so frightened that she curled up into a ball and trembled like a sieve, “I’m not Qiao An.”

“We received news that Qiao An is in the car. It’s either her or you.” The criminal bit her ear gently, then assaulted Li Ze’en with one hand.

Ze’en shook her head in horror. “I’m really not Qiao An.”

The kidnapper walked up to her and suddenly reached out to hook her chin. He teased her in a lecherous tone, “Girl, if you don’t tell the truth, do you believe that I’ll do you here?”

After saying that, he reached into her clothes. Li Ze’en closed her eyes, not daring to look at the man in front of him.

Qiao An couldn’t bear to see Ze’en suffer for her. She scolded, “Don’t touch her. I’m Qiao An.”

The kidnapper stopped hurting Li Ze’en and slowly walked towards Qiao An. Suddenly, he kicked Qiao An and scolded, “What were you doing earlier? Why did you lie to me?”

Then, he reached out to tear Qiao An’s clothes. Qiao An roared anxiously, “If you want something, show me some respect. Otherwise, I’d rather die than hand it over.”

The criminal stopped what he was doing.
