In this dilapidated and abandoned warehouse, time seems to have stood still. Dim light shines through the dusty windows and onto the rusty metal shelves, creating mottled light and shadow.
There is a smell of moisture and dust in the air, stimulating people's sense of smell. In the corner of the warehouse, there are some unrecognizable waste piled up. They are covered with thick dust, as if they have been forgotten. The murderous and strangulating kidnappers brought up bursts of dust as they moved around.
The paint on the walls has long since peeled off, revealing the dark yellow masonry. The high ceiling was hidden in shadow, with only a few weak beams of light barely penetrating, as if trying to penetrate the darkness with a faint hope. There were some rusty nails and discarded tools scattered on the ground. The kidnappers would kick them from time to time when walking around, making a noisy sound.
Qiao Yunshu was extremely confused. What was the purpose of these kidnappers to kidnap her? It was neither a robbery for wealth nor a robbery for sex, and they didn't use her as a blackmail to make her family pay tens of millions of ransoms.
Moreover, although this group of people treated her very harshly, they did not want to hurt her at all. They would even loosen the rope for her every one or two hours to prevent the rope from being tied for too long and her limbs to be choked with blood. cycle.
Just when she was confused, she suddenly heard the sound of a car coming from far away and stopped at the door of the abandoned warehouse.
Qiao Yunshu suddenly felt cold. Could it be that there was someone behind this kidnapping?
Now is the person behind the scenes coming to accept the "results"?
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Qiao Yunshu became more and more nervous.
Qiao Yunshu's heart beat as fast as a drum, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she stared at the door tightly. She could hear her breathing and the footsteps getting closer and closer, but these sounds seemed far away from her, as if they were in another world.
Now, the mastermind behind these kidnappers appeared, and Qiao Yunshu felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She didn't know who the mastermind behind this was, nor what his purpose was, but Qiao Yunshu knew that her fate was no longer in her hands.
In just a few seconds, countless speculations flashed through Qiao Yunshu's mind, and he almost thought about all the possible masterminds behind the scenes, from business rivals to passers-by who had unpleasant encounters in daily life. .
When that picture appeared in Qiao Yunshu's field of vision, she was still unprepared.
It's him!
Li Xingyun.
Li Hanting's cousin, that man who looks gentle but is actually a snake-hearted man with deep secrets. He has always coveted Li Hanting's position of power and secretly used all kinds of insidious and cunning methods!
After Li Hanting mastered the evidence of his crime, he originally planned to have him punished by law. However, he smuggled out of the country. It is said that the police have not found his whereabouts so far.
Why did he suddenly appear here? And sent someone to kidnap her?
Could it be that he wanted to use himself to threaten Li Hanting?
"Long time no see, Yun Shu." Li Xingyun's gentle and jade-like face had a scar, and with his hypocritical smile at the moment, his whole person looked even colder, no different from a poisonous snake in the gutter.
Looking at the man in front of him, whom Li Hanting had heard about his deeds with a beastly face and a heart, Qiao Yunshu felt a chill. His eyes were deep and cold, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, ready to attack its prey at any time. Qiao Yunshu's hands were hurt by the rough rope, and her heart was beating as fast as a drum, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She tried hard to stay calm, but her body was shaking involuntarily.
She remembered what Li Hanting once said. This man was a man who would do anything for rights and interests. His ruthlessness made people fearful. Various possible consequences flashed through Qiao Yunshu's mind, and she couldn't imagine what she would encounter. She bit her lower lip tightly, forcing herself to stay awake.
"What do you want to do? Are you going to use me to threaten him?" Qiao Yunshu forced herself to stay calm, "If so, then you are really thinking too much. Li Hanting treats me like that, there is no way he would give up for a woman His career.”
She tried hard to sound firmer, but the trembling ending betrayed the fear in her heart. Li Xingyun looked at her, a hint of interest flashed in his cold eyes, as if he was admiring her fear.
He approached slowly, leaned over and stared into her eyes, with a sneer on his lips: "Do you think I will believe the nonsense you said? Qiao Yunshu, you are indeed smarter than I thought, but it's a pity that you are not Are you so good at lying? Li Hanting won't give up his career for you? Miss Qiao, you underestimate me too much. If I believe this, then how stupid I must be."
Qiao Yunshu tried to keep herself calm. She took a deep breath and tried to calm the fear in her heart. She knew that she had to stay awake and resourceful at this moment to have a chance to escape.
So she pretended to smile calmly: "He is such a cold and heartless man. Of course he would not give up his career for me. I didn't lie."
"Hahahaha, do you think I haven't investigated? My cousin has already fallen into trouble with you. To him, you are much more important than his career. You said that if I let him get rid of you and If given a career choice, what would he choose?"
If Li Hanting was asked to choose between love and career, he would choose her. However, this thought filled Qiao Yunshu's heart with fear. She could not let Li Hanting suffer any danger for her sake.
She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm: "Do you think you can threaten him? You underestimate him too much."
Li Xingyun sneered: "Really? Then I'll just wait and see."
He turned and left the room, leaving Qiao Yunshu alone in the empty room. She looked in the direction of the door, her heart filled with helplessness and fear. She didn't know if she could escape this dangerous situation, or if she could see Li Hanting again. However, she knew that she had to be strong and find a way to escape from this predicament.
On the other side, Li Hanting, who was in the company, suddenly had a bad feeling, as if something bad was going to happen.
Li Hanting looked at his phone and found that Qiao Yunshu had not contacted him for a long time. An uneasiness arose in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen. He tried to call Qiao Yunshu, but no one answered.
He stood up and paced anxiously, his thoughts in confusion.
Li Hanting called Qiao Yunshu's assistant again. Qiao Yunshu went on a business trip to other provinces and brought a personal assistant with him.
As soon as the call was connected, Li Hanting felt nervous and asked hurriedly: "Where is Qiao Yunshu? Her assistant, where is her assistant?"
The assistant's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of panic: "Mr. Li, Miss Qiao, she's missing."
Li Hanting's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind: "What do you mean? What do you mean missing? What are you doing to eat? Can't you even see someone?"
The assistant's tone was also panicked, "The boss went alone to discuss business at noon today, but he hasn't come back yet, and he can't reach anyone on the phone."
The man was worried and panicked, and wanted to fly to Qiao Yunshu immediately to protect her.
"Call the police immediately. I will send someone to meet you. Think carefully about whether she has any enemies at work."
He hung up the phone harshly, his face ashen. Qiao Yunshu's smile and tenderness flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart. He couldn't imagine losing her, the pain was unbearable.
Li Hanting felt his heart beat faster. He had never felt such fear before. Qiao Yunshu's figure kept flashing in his mind. Her smile, her gentleness, her tenacity, everything made him unbearable to lose her. He felt that his heart was tightly grasped by an invisible force, as if he was suffocating. He kept pacing back and forth in the office, restless, with deep worry and panic in his eyes. He couldn't imagine how he would face the pain of losing Qiao Yunshu. That feeling was more unbearable than any career failure. There was only one thought in his mind, which was to find Qiao Yunshu, protect her and prevent any harm from getting close to her.
He immediately dialed the number of his mercenary group and ordered: "Call the police immediately and mobilize everyone to find Qiao Yunshu. If you want to see him alive, you want to see his body."
He hung up the phone, feeling even more uneasy. He paced back and forth anxiously, his thoughts confused. He couldn't wait any longer and had to find her in person. He immediately packed up his things and prepared to set off to find Qiao Yunshu.
That afternoon, Li Hanting arrived in the city where Qiao Yunshu disappeared, and a tall man with two small scars on his face was already waiting for him there.
"Mr. Li, we found Miss Qiao's whereabouts. She was kidnapped. The person who kidnapped her is your cousin, Li Xingyun."
Li Hanting's eyes instantly turned cold, his face was livid, and his whole body exuded a strong coldness. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the exertion.
Scenes flashed through his mind. On the surface, Li Xingyun was gentle and a good brother, but in fact he had always been jealous of himself, coveted his power and position, and harbored resentment towards him.
Now, he dared to kidnap Qiao Yunshu, which Li Hanting could not tolerate. A strong anger and murderous intention surged in his heart, and he wished he could find Li Xingyun immediately and cut him into pieces.
His eyes flashed with fierce light, like an enraged beast, ready to launch a fatal attack on the enemy. At this moment, Li Hanting was no longer a calm and composed CEO, but a furious man who would do anything to protect his lover.
Li Hanting was extremely angry, and the anger in his heart was burning. He couldn't imagine that Li Xingyun, a man who had fled the country, would suddenly return to China and kidnap Qiao Yunshu, which made him feel intense nausea.
You can tell with just your toes what Li Xingyun's purpose was in kidnapping Qiao Yunshu. He must have wanted to use Qiao Yunshu to threaten him.
When he thought that that damn man might hurt Qiao Yunshu, he felt his heart being grasped tightly, as if he was suffocating. He kept roaring in his heart, imagining how to cut Li Xingyun into pieces.
He felt his eyes begin to moisten, but he tried desperately to control his emotions. He must stay calm because he knows that every decision he makes at this time may affect Qiao Yunshu's life or death. He took a deep breath to calm down, and then began to think about how to rescue Qiao Yunshu.
At this moment, a phone call suddenly came in. Li Hanting's heart suddenly trembled, he made a gesture to the man in black next to him, and then answered the call.
As expected, Li Xingyun's voice came from the other end.
"Li Hanting, do you think you can find Qiao Yunshu? She is in my hands now. If you want to save her, just listen to me."
On the other end of the phone, Li Xingyun's voice had a cruel smile.
Li Hanting gritted his teeth and said coldly: "What do you want? As long as you don't hurt her, I will give you everything you want."
Li Xingyun laughed sadly, "Then I will kill you."
"good."
Li Hanting answered without hesitation.
At this moment, Qiao Yunshu was tied next to Li Xingyun. After hearing these words, she suddenly became anxious and burst into tears.
Qiao Yunshu was so anxious that she burst into tears. She struggled wildly, trying to break free from the restraints on her body, but her hands were tied tightly and she could not move at all.
She could only watch helplessly as Li Hanting agreed to Li Xingyun's request in order to save her, and the pain in her heart was like a knife. She could imagine that Li Hanting was willing to sacrifice his life for her. Such love moved her and made her feel even more distressed.
She couldn't let Li Hanting sacrifice for her, she had to do something.
So, she used all her strength and slammed into Li Xingyun. The latter was caught off guard and the phone in his hand fell to the ground.
Qiao Yun took the opportunity to rush forward and shouted into the phone, "Han Ting, don't listen to him. Do you think a person like him will really keep his word? Even if you agree to hurt yourself, he won't Let me go."
When Li Hanting heard Qiao Yunshu's voice, his originally rational brain went into chaos. He only cared about her, "Yunshu, are you okay? Did that beast hurt you?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Xingyun's face became extremely ugly as he listened to Qiao Yunshu's words.
He never expected that Qiao Yunshu would break free at this time and let Li Hanting hear her words. This undoubtedly disrupted his plan and made the situation where he was originally hopeful of victory instantly complicated. He picked up the phone angrily and roared into the phone: "Li Hanting, don't think I will let you go like this, I want you to taste the feeling of losing the one you love!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone harshly, and then looked at Qiao Yunshu beside him, with a fierce light shining in his eyes.
