Chapter 48: Huo Yichen Is Injured
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The coffee shop on East Street was where Nan Qiao and Huo Yichen worked. Huo Yichen saw Nan Qiao talking to a man. He didn’t seem to be in a good state. Although he was busy with his own matters, his attention was always on the outside.
It wasn’t until Nan Qiao left that he saw a few people following her. Sensing that something was wrong, he grabbed a small knife and followed. Who knew that when he walked closer, he would see someone holding a handkerchief to Nan Qiao’s mouth and nose?
Then, he saw Nan Qiao fall into the arms of a man.
She was then carried into a van.
Huo Yichen couldn’t care less. He chased after her with his ap.r.o.n still tied around his waist.
“Boss, there’s a kid chasing after the van.” The driver saw Huo Yichen running in the rearview mirror.
Not to mention anything else, this kid was quite fast.
“He didn’t see what we just did, did he? Stop the car and get this kid in with us.”
Three men got out of the van with sticks in their hands, but Huo Yichen was not afraid at all.
One of them came up with a stick to hit Huo Yichen in the head. However, Huo Yichen saw the other party’s movements and tilted his body to avoid the other party’s attack.
However, there were too many people on the other side. Another person swung his club and managed to hit Huo Yichen’s hind leg. Huo Yichen was in pain and so he knelt down on one knee. He grabbed a club with one hand and raised his hand to block the other attack. He couldn’t avoid it even if he wanted to.
Another stick landed on his back. Huo Yichen let out a painful grunt. He tightened his grip on the stick, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
“Beat him up,” the leader of the kidnappers shouted when he saw this scene.
This kid was too troublesome. Who knew what would happen if he was let go?
One of the short kidnappers then hit Huo Yichen in the head. Huo Yichen looked at the back of the van and gradually felt dizzy. He slowly fell down.
“I don’t believe that I can’t win against such a kid. Carry him into the van.” The kidnapper leader sneered.
Huo Yichen was thrown into the van and placed beside Nan Qiao. Then, the van drove away quickly.
Nan Qiao, who was swaying along the way, felt dizzy and gradually woke up. When she woke up, she felt dizzy and panicked for a moment in the van. Then, she gradually calmed down and recalled what had happened.
So what happened in her previous life had happened again. These people were all Nan Zhi’s hired thugs.
In her previous life, Nan Zhi had relied on that GPS tracker to find her home and even sent someone to rape her. It seemed like Nan Zhi could not wait any longer in this life and directly attacked her on the way.
Nan Jin had only become a tool that Nan Zhi could use.
As she was thinking, Nan Qiao suddenly felt something strange. She realized that there was someone lying beside her. When she gently flipped over this person’s body with the tip of her foot to look at him, Nan Qiao was shocked.
Huo Yichen?
Why was he here? Why was he involved?
The kidnappers in front were so focused on driving that they didn’t notice that the person behind them had woken up.
Even though Nan Qiao had already woken up, she didn’t do much, so she didn’t attract the attention of the people in front.
She whispered to Huo Yichen.
“Huo Yichen, wake up!”
Nan Qiao didn’t dare to make too big a move. She gently pushed Huo Yichen with her hand.
But no matter how much Nan Qiao pushed, Huo Yichen couldn’t wake up.
Nan Qiao was so anxious that she wanted to stomp her feet.
The car made a sharp turn and finally turned into an abandoned industrial plant. Nan Qiao was too familiar with this place.
Panic gradually crept into her heart.
“Huo Yichen, wake up! If you don’t wake up, we’re both going to die here!”
“Huo Yichen!”
The van stopped completely. At this moment, someone opened the back door and a light shone in. Only then did Nan Qiao see that Huo Yichen’s head was covered in blood.
Why was Huo Yichen bleeding so much?
Right on the heels of that, Nan Qiao felt that someone was dragging her. During this period, Nan Qiao pretended to be still unconscious and felt those people dragging her to a chair and tying her up.
Only then did Nan Qiao pretend to wake up slowly.
“Who are you? What do you want?”
The girl’s eyes were filled with fear. In her mess, many strands of hair hung down from her temples. The sunlight shone through the tattered roof and landed on the girl’s shoulders and neck.
Her eyes were a little red and misty which made her look pitiful and broken.
“What do we want to do? Ha, of course we’re going to get rid of you. Young lady, do you know what the consequences of offending someone you can’t afford to offend?” The kidnapper leader slid a knife across Nan Qiao’s face as he said ruthlessly.
However, when the knife slapped her face, he could not help but lighten his grip.
It wouldn’t be good if he cut such a pretty little face.
“Did Nan Zhi ask you to come?” Although Nan Qiao couldn’t suppress her fear, she still pretended to be calm at this moment. She could only negotiate with the other party after calming down.
“I didn’t expect you to guess it. In that case, I can’t let you live.”
The leader of the kidnappers gulped. This woman was really good-looking, especially with her small waist and long legs.
Just thinking about it made him reach out and touch her.
Nan Qiao was disgusted by these people and wanted to pull her legs away, but her legs were already tied up and she couldn’t pull them away at all. She could only let them touch her.
It was disgusting.
Nan Qiao’s eyes were red with hatred.
“Didn’t you do it because you took Nan Zhi’s money? If you want money, I have a lot of money. 1 can give it to you, but if you take a life, you won’t be able to escape for the rest of your lives. To tell you the truth, 1 already realized that I would be in danger when I came, so 1 got someone to call the police. The police will find this place soon. If you dare to touch me, you won’t be able to escape at all.”
The short kidnapper looked a little fl.u.s.tered. “Is she telling the truth? Why does it sound real to me?”
Another kidnapper was also deep in thought. “I think what she said makes sense. Why don’t we reconsider?”
“That won’t do! I, Xu Dabiao, am a man of my word! Since I’ve already agreed to do this, how can I be bribed to go back on my word? How can 1 survive in the underworld in the future? This woman is most likely bluffing us. The person she was going to see was her own brother. Why would she have called the police?”
In order to facilitate the kidnapping, Nan Zhi had already told Xu Dabiao about
Nan Jin and Nan Qiao’s relationship.
At this moment, Xu Dabiao’s mind was racing..
