Several days after the diamond necklace theft, the Shang family a.s.sistants resigned because they heard what happened to Xiao Yu and rumors about Shang’s company going bust.
On the other hand, Da Tian Ting’s days were spent blissfully with Feng Kai Ze. She cherished the time they spent together, because her life was tough since her mother abandoned her and her father died.
On a weekend, Feng Kai Ze took Da Tian Ting out to dinner at a fancy restaurant. She was dressed in a designer outfit he bought her, and was used to the envious looks from strangers.
‘Little monkey, when will you tell me your ident.i.ty?’ Da Tian Ting asked.
Da Tian Ting felt it wasn’t right for her lover to hide his ident.i.ty from her.
‘I’m Feng Kai Ze,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
Da Tian Ting didn’t want to pick up magazines to read about Feng Kai Ze’s family, because seeing things printed in black and white didn’t equate to the truth.
‘Of course I know you’re Feng Kai Ze,’ Da Tian Ting said. ‘What I want to know is what you do for a living? Who are your family? What have you done in the last sixteen years?’
‘You know I’m little monkey,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
‘That’s your childhood,’ Da Tian Ting said. ‘I want to know about the man eating dinner with me right now.’
‘I’m the same person,’ Feng Kai Ze said. ‘Although I’m not the poor little monkey, little monkey had a happier life than I did in the last sixteen years. Tian Ting, if I lose it all, will you choose to stay with me?’
Da Tian Ting saw pain in Feng Kai Ze’s eyes so she didn’t press him to answer her questions. She was willing to wait for him to confide his secrets to her.
‘I, Da Tian Ting have always avoided rich people,’ Da Tian Ting said. ‘You don’t have to worry. The poorer you are the easier it is for me to accept being with you.’
‘If I don’t have a cent left, will you stay with me?’ Feng Kai Ze asked.
‘Yes,’ Da Tian Ting said.
Feng Kai Ze held Da Tian Ting’s hand. He was scared making money was a mistake, and she would leave him after she found out how rich he was.
‘You can give all your money to me for safekeeping if you’re scared of wasting away your money,’ Da Tian Ting joked.
‘I’ll give you all my money,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
‘Aren’t you scared I’ll run off with all your money?’ Da Tian Ting asked.
‘I find money for you to spend,’ Feng Kai Ze said. ‘My money is your money.’
Da Tian Ting thought Feng Kai Ze was either crazy in love with her or just crazy. She hoped he was crazy in love with her.
‘What’s on your mind?’ Feng Kai Ze asked.
‘Money on my mind,’ Da Tian Ting said. ‘I’m thinking about how much money is in your bank account.’
‘You can use all your brain cells to think about my bank balance,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
‘I don’t want to waste my brain cells,’ Da Tian Ting said.
Feng Kai Ze’s money wasn’t Da Tian Ting’s money, she didn’t need to waste her brain cells to guess his bank balance.
‘Are you full?’ Feng Kai Ze asked.
Feng Kai Ze had to find a way to eliminate Hong Shi’s company. He didn’t Da Tian Ting to doubt him if she heard lies about him being engaged to Hong Shi Na.
‘Yes,’ Da Tian Ting said.
‘Wait for me outside the door,’ Feng Kai Ze said. ‘I’ll go pay.’
‘OK,’ Da Tian Ting said.
Da Tian Ting walked outside the restaurant. She was used to Feng Kai Ze’s habit of paying for dinner.
‘Da Tian Ting, just be happy,’ Da Tian Ting encouraged herself.
Hong Shi Chi’s men were waiting outside the restaurant for a long time. The men dragged Da Tian Ting into the back seat of a car the moment she stood alone outside the restaurant.
‘Ah!’ Da Tian Ting screamed.
The men closed the door, and drove off before anyone on the streets heard Da Tian Ting’s scream.
‘Who are you people?’ Da Tian Ting asked. ‘What do you want?’
Two men restrained Da Tian Ting’s arms. She couldn’t jump out of the car even if she wanted to. What did they want? She was jobless. They wouldn’t kidnap her for money.
‘Shut up!’ a man said. ‘If you say another word, we’ll knock you unconscious.’
Da Tian Ting closed her mouth. She wanted to stay conscious, because it gave her hope of escaping.
Behind the car, Feng Kai Ze had ran out the restaurant, and took a taxi to follow the car that took Da Tian Ting. He felt the taxi driver drove slowly like the taxi driver didn’t want him to save Da Tian Ting.
‘Drive faster!’ Feng Kai Ze threatened.
‘Sir, I’m scared to drive faster,’ the taxi driver said.
‘Get out of the car!’ Feng Kai Ze said. ‘I’ll drive.’
‘Sir, you can’t steal my car,’ the taxi driver said.
‘Wait for me at the police station,’ Feng Kai Ze said. ‘I’ll compensate you for borrowing your car.’
‘Wait…’ the taxi driver said.
Feng Kai Ze pushed the taxi driver out of the car at the red lights, and he sped in the direction he saw the kidnapper’s car took before it disappeared.
Feng Kai Ze was going to kill whoever kidnapped his fierce apple.
In the kidnapper’s car, the men let go of Da Tian Ting’s arms. She discreetly fumbled for the phone in her bag to call Feng Kai Ze.
A man noticed Da Tian Ting searching her bag. He s.n.a.t.c.hed her bag, and took away her phone.
‘Don’t try anymore funny business if you want to live,’ the man warned.
‘Tell me where you’re taking me,’ Da Tian Ting said.
Da Tian Ting couldn’t contact Feng Kai Ze. It meant she needed to stay strong, and find a way to escape.
‘You’ll find out soon,’ the man said.
Da Tian Ting thought about who would want to kidnap her. Was it Mac Kai An?
