Chapter 62 : Kidnapping

Mu Qianqian smiled gently, “You don’t want to marry the young master of the Lu family?”

Ye Wanqing pouted, “It’s not that I don’t want to marry him, I don’t want to marry anyone.”

She unhappily picked up a stone and threw it into the nearby pond, causing a splash of water.

Just in time, the splash landed near the feet of the approaching person.

Ye Wanqing looked up from below and saw her brother’s gentle and handsome face.

“Brother, you’re here.”

Ye Wanqing quickly stood up and brushed the dirt off her clothes.

The young miss of the Ye family was fearless and unruly, unable to be controlled even by her parents, but she was always intimidated by her brother.

“Qianqian, my brother is here,” Ye Wanqing said, pulling Mu Qianqian and whispering a reminder.

Mu Qianqian greeted him politely, “Hello, Young Master Ye.”

Ye Xuanlin nodded in response, “Hello, Miss Mu.”

He then turned his gaze to his uncooperative sister. “What were you saying just now? You don’t want to get married?”

Ye Wanqing hid behind Mu Qianqian and weakly protested, “I-I just don’t want to get married.”

Ye Xuanlin’s narrow, phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at her calmly.

Ye Wanqing was startled and quickly said, “I’m still young. Can’t I enjoy myself for a couple more years? Qianqian isn’t married yet. I’ll get married when she does.”

Mu Qianqian blinked, surprised to find herself being used as a shield for Ye Wanqing’s refusal to marry.

But she was already married.

It was just that Wanqing didn’t know.

“This is an arrangement made by the elders, you can’t just refuse it like that,” Ye Xuanlin said, still dressed in his traditional Chinese robe. With a casual turn, he left, “Enjoy your freedom while you can.”

Hearing his last words, Ye Wanqing clung to Mu Qianqian and let out a wail.

“Heaven! Someone save me!”

Mu Qianqian patted her hand and smiled reassuringly, “Don’t worry, Wanqing. Maybe the situation isn’t as bad as it seems.”

She believed that good people would be rewarded.

Wanqing was such a good person; she was bound to have a smooth life.

…

That day, Mu Qianqian went to the supermarket to buy a bag of cat food.

There were several stray cats at school, and they were so skinny and hungry.

Thinking of them made her think of her past self, so with no classes that day, she went to the supermarket to buy some cat food, planning to feed the cats at school.

But before she could even reach the school, an unexpected turn of events occurred!

A man suddenly jumped out from around the corner, covering her mouth and pulling her backward!

Mu Qianqian was terrified and frantically tried to claw at the man’s hand, but she couldn’t break free.

The man dragged her directly into the van.

“Drive off quickly!”

The driver glanced nervously into the back of the van, nearly scared out of his wits.

“You only said you needed help with transporting goods, but this… why have you kidnapped someone?”

He was just a van driver hauling cargo and didn’t want to get involved in any kidnapping case.

“What are you afraid of? This is my sister who ran away from home to avoid an arranged marriage. I’m taking her back to marry her. Just drive, and I’ll give you triple the fare later!”

The driver was skeptical, “She’s really your sister?”

“Do you think I’m lying? Who would dare to kidnap someone in broad daylight?”

The person who had kidnapped Mu Qianqian was Mu Chenghui, the eldest of the Mu family.

Even though Lu Yunxiang had called earlier to instruct them not to take action for now,

Mu Chenghui, like a hyena catching the scent of meat, couldn’t bear to let 200,000 yuan slip away. As long as he could capture his sister and get her married off, the money was as good as his!

He had no other way to get ahead in life and was counting on this 200,000 to live it up.

Mu Chenghui said coldly, “Mu Qianqian, tell the driver if I’m not your real brother.”

Only Mu Qianqian knew that there was a sharp knife pressing against her back.

Her blood seemed to freeze in her veins.

She dared not gamble on whether Mu Chenghui, this madman, would harm her.

She couldn’t take the risk.

Mu Qianqian’s pale face trembled as she said, “Yes…”

“See? She’s really my sister. You can drive without worry, nothing will go wrong. If triple isn’t enough, I’ll give you five times the fare! Just drive straight to Majia Village, and I’ll drop her off at her husband’s place and leave.”

The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and, ultimately tempted by greed, pressed the gas pedal.

Mu Chenghui held a knife in one hand and tended to a bleeding hand with the other, which had been scratched by Mu Qianqian earlier.

“Damn it, you bitch dare to scratch me, if you marry Ma Quezi, I’ll see how he will deal with you!”

Mu Chenghui’s cell phone rang, and he picked it up and put it to his ear.

“Hey, Ma Quezi? Why are you in such a hurry? I’ll send the person over to you right away.”

“Is the bride price ready? When I get there, it will be a cash-and-delivery deal. If I don’t see the money, don’t even think about marrying her!”

While he was on the phone, Mu Qianqian managed to reach into her pocket and dial an emergency contact.

She pressed herself tightly against the car door, trembling with fear.

She silently prayed.

The Mr. must answer her call, he must understand what’s happening. Please don’t expose her…

Meanwhile, Fu Sichan’s phone screen lit up.

He was in the middle of a strategic meeting at Fu Group when his phone rang while the CEO of a branch was still presenting.

Fu Sichan frowned.

Why would Qianqian be calling him now?

He raised his hand, and the presenting CEO immediately fell silent, leaving the large conference room in complete quiet.

Fu Sichan answered the call and held the phone to his ear.

Instead of the young girl’s voice, he heard a man’s disgusting and crude remarks.

“We can start setting up the banquet right away. I will be at Majia Village in more than an hour.”

“Don’t worry, this girl is unharmed, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!”

“Heh, Crippled Ma, you’re in for a treat tonight! Enjoy being the groom, hahahaha.”

Upon hearing these words, Fu Sichan immediately realized that Mu Qianqian was in trouble.

A dark look swiftly crossed his eyes.

Fu Sichan remained silent, listening to the call while scribbling a few words on a piece of paper.

Mu Qianqian’s palms were sweating.

She couldn’t see the screen and didn’t know if Mr. had answered her call.

She hoped he could hear…

But Mu Qianqian knew in her heart that there was probably little hope

After all, Mr. had said he would be very busy today and might be late coming back…

Mu Qianqian could only try to save herself.

She fumbled for the car door switch, pulling it twice with no response.

Seeing her actions, Mu Chenghui sneered, “You think you can jump out of the car? Not a chance! The car doors are locked, you can’t escape. Today, you’re going to marry Crippled Ma and save yourself from a worse fate.”

Mu Qianqian’s heart sank, and she fell into deep despair.

…

Meanwhile, Fu Sichan hurriedly left the meeting room and handed the note he had just written to his assistant.

“Seal off all exits from Bei City, check the surveillance around Mingyuan Community, and find a place called Majia Village…”

“Understood!”

Fu Sichan’s expression was cold and grim, his eyes tinged with a fierce, crimson hue.

“Anyone who dares to harm even a single hair on the girl will pay with their life.”

“Mr. Fu, we have located it! A van with the license plate XXXX has been lingering around Mingyuan Community for a long time and is now heading towards Majia Village. The surveillance footage shows a man seems to have abducted a woman into the vehicle.”

“Intercept it immediately!”

“Yes! I’ll mobilize personnel right away.”

…

The van was on the verge of leaving Bei City.

Mu Chenghui seemed to have already seen two hundred thousand red cash waving in front of him.

After all, his parents were getting old and timid, lacking his boldness.

This was an easy catch, wasn’t it?

But just as he was savoring his triumph, dozens of black luxury cars sped up and surrounded the van.

“What’s going on? Why are they blocking us on such a wide road?”

The driver shivered, sensing something ominous, “I don’t know…”

The doors of the luxury cars opened in unison.

Dozens of bodyguards in black suits emerged and surrounded the van.

Behind them, a sharply dressed and handsome man stepped out, walking slowly.
