When Chen Ming woke up, Li Xiaoru had already left. He glanced at Fang Lu, who was still unconscious on the floor, and made a call with a dark expression. Before he left, he saw the glaring bloodstains on the bed. He was so annoyed that he gave Fang Lu a hard kick before leaving.
Xin Qing found out about the incident from Ying Qingcang. After hearing the story, her jaw dropped for a long time.
"Are you stunned?" Ying Qingcang poked her forehead, amused.
Xin Qing began to worry. How was Chen Ming going to deal with this?
"What about Fang Lu?" She didn't like this woman before, but now she really wanted Ying Qingcang to kill her.
Ying Qingcang knew what she was thinking. He kissed her and said, "Chen Ming has already dealt with it. After what happened, if he still let that woman go, I'll say that he deserves it."
Chen Ming had someone send the video of Fang Lu and the things she did to the Fang family. Ying Qingcang added fuel to the fire. He made it clear that the Ying clan looked down on Fang Lu. As long as she was in S City, the Ying clan would not cooperate with the Fang family. Fang Lu was called back by her stepfather. Apparently, she was no longer allowed to participate in any company matters. She was also kicked out of the house and given a monthly allowance.
"What do you plan to do?" Xin Qing asked Chen Ming out. She wanted to see how he would deal with Li Xiaoru.
Chen Ming had not rested well for the past few days. His face was obviously tired, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"I don't know..." He sighed. "She won't answer my calls, and she won't see me."
Chen Ming did something else. He had someone take photos of Zhao Jiali having an affair and sent them to Li Guihai. He also told Li Guihai about Zhao Jiali and Fang Lu's plan to steal the family fortune and harm Li Xiaoru. Now, Zhao Jiali had been kicked out of the Li family, and Li Guihai had divorced her.
"You helped her. At least you don't have to worry about Zhao Jiali harming her." Xin Qing thought for a moment. "Why don't I go talk to her?" Xin Qing glanced at Chen Ming. "But you have to think about how to treat her first."
Chen Ming rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes. "Tell her that I'll take responsibility. Pick a date for the wedding."
Xin Qing was startled when she saw Li Xiaoru again. Li Xiaoru, who had been perfectly fine before, now looked haggard and lifeless. She sat there as if she was about to die at any moment.
"Um... are you okay?" Xin Qing was now worried that if Chen Ming did not marry her, she would kill herself.
Li Xiaoru's gaze lingered on the cup of coffee on the table. After a long while, Xin Qing began to wonder if Li Xiaoru would ignore her. "I don't need him to take responsibility for me," Li Xiaoru said. "Please tell him that I won't use this to force him to marry me. If he doesn't love me, then just pretend that none of this happened."
Xin Qing could not say a word. Li Xiaoru knew exactly what was going on with Chen Ming.
"If you were really open-minded, you wouldn't have gotten yourself into this state." Xin Qing patted Li Xiaoru's hand. "Why didn't you answer his calls? If you don't listen to him, how can you know what he's thinking? "
Li Xiaoru shook her head. "Chen Ming is a good man. He'll definitely take responsibility. But I don't want that kind of marriage. If I marry a man who doesn't love me, my life will be dark. No matter how much I like him, I can't gamble my happiness with him. " Li Xiaoru moved her hand to stop Xin Qing from speaking. She continued, "I may look like I'm in a bad situation, but that's because everything happened too suddenly. I can't accept it right away. I'll adjust myself. There's nothing I can't get over. It's just a breakup. Who hasn't been through breakup before?"
As if to prove herself, Li Xiaoru even squeezed out a smile. Xin Qing looked at her and felt a little sad. But love could not be forced. Without love, pity and sympathy were not enough.
"I underestimated you!" Xin Qing smiled. "You're braver than I thought. A girl like you will find happiness! Remember my phone number. We're friends from now on. "
The two of them chatted for a while longer before ending their conversation. Xin Qing went to the underground parking lot to look for Ah Chul. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, a commercial car suddenly rushed over. Before she could react, she was dragged into the car. Ah Chul saw this from afar and his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He quickly drove after the car. Li Xiaoru happened to be coming out of the coffee shop. Through the car window, she saw Xin Qing struggling while several men held her down.
"Kidnapped?" Li Xiaoru reacted immediately. She picked up her phone and hesitated for a moment. Then, she called Chen Ming.
At the same time, Ying Qingcang received the news. He immediately called Boss Wan. Childe Shen also began to deploy the investigation.
"Is it done in New York?"
"Boss Wan went to ask." Ying Qingcang stood up. "No, I have to go out and look for it."
Anam stopped him. "Ah Chul is still following them. I've already called the police. The police will put out an arrest warrant for that car soon." As he spoke, Chen Ming rushed into the room.
"There's a foreigner among the people who kidnapped Xin Qing!" His breathing was unsteady. It was obvious that he had run all the way here.
Childe Shen grabbed him. "How did you know?"
"Li Xiaoru saw it. She said that she saw it very clearly. There was a foreigner with blonde hair."
Ying Qingcang slammed the table. "Damn it. It must be because of that CD."
Boss Wan called. "Shui Gui said that he never sent anyone over. He didn't do it," Boss Wan said right away.
"But there's a foreigner among the kidnappers!" Ying Qingcang roared. There was a pause on the other end of the line. Boss Wan said, "Got it." Then, he hung up.
Childe Shen saw that Ying Qingcang's face was growing darker and darker. His clenched fists were shaking. Fearing that he would lose control, Childe Shen quickly said, "I've already asked the old man to bring some people over. Don't panic. If it's Shui Gui who did it, the old man will definitely be able to pry open his mouth.
Ah Chul suddenly ran in from outside. "Young master, come with me!"
Ying Qingcang rushed out without saying a word. Childe Shen and Anam followed behind him. They had just gotten into the car when the phone rang.
"President Ying, is it? Haven't your men returned to report the news? " A man's voice came from the phone. "I don't have much patience. Hurry up and hand over the CD. Otherwise, your woman will take care of you!"
"Young master, don't panic. They're in a private house in the southern suburbs." Ah Chul drove the car quickly. "Their goal is to see you. They won't hurt the young miss."
Childe Shen frowned. "I've already given the CD to Shui Gui. Why are there still people asking for it?"
"Call Boss Wan. Ask him to tell us clearly what's inside the CD. Otherwise, we'll have Uncle Shen blow Shui Gui away." Ying Qingcang's aura grew more and more violent. He tried his best to calm down. Xin Qing was still waiting for him to save her. He needed to stay calm.
Before Young Master Shen could make the call, Boss Wan called. Boss Wan briefly explained the situation to Young Master Shen.
"The CD contains the records of the entire arms trade over the past few years. It also contains the information of every informant, introducer, and handler. If we can get our hands on the list of names inside, we can reshuffle the entire arms smuggling market. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Shui Gui said that the person who kidnapped your wife should be an arms dealer from Europe. I'm on the plane now, and I'll be there in three hours. No matter what they want, you have to delay it."
After hanging up, Ying Qingcang thought for a moment. "Anam, find the CD."
"Young master, this is too dangerous. We can buy time on the way. Don't meet the kidnappers yet."
Ying Qingcang glanced at him coldly. "Xin Qing is in their hands. Every second longer means more danger. I can't let any harm come to her."
Ah Chul did not say anything. He stepped harder on the gas pedal.
In the southern suburbs of S City, houses made of wooden planks of various sizes stood on the edge of the landfill.
"Young master, that's the one." Ah Chul took the lead and walked in front. Childe Shen had a backpack on him. He took out handfuls of guns and handed them to everyone. "Don't hesitate. Those people are outlaws. Once you feel that something is wrong, shoot immediately!"
It was still December. The sea breeze in S City was bone-chilling. Ah Chul stood in front of a dilapidated house. Although it was called a house, it was actually a simple house made of a few large wooden planks. The wind blew through the gaps, and the plastic sheets on the roof flapped.
"Yo! Our guests are here. " A black man suddenly walked out. When he saw Ying Qingcang, he clapped his hands. Then, two men came out. They were all wearing good quality winter clothes. It was obvious that they were not here for money.
"Where's my wife?" Ying Qingcang asked.
The black man who came out first made an inviting gesture. "Please come in."
There was nothing in the wooden house. Xin Qing was curled up in a corner. It seemed that she was not awake yet.
"What did you do to her?" Ying Qingcang clenched his fists. "If my wife is hurt, I promise that you will not leave here alive."
"Mr. Ying, we only want the CD. Give it to us and we can take your wife away." "I don't think you'll let us down, will you?" a yellow-haired guy said, grinning at Ying Qingcang.
Young Master Shen snorted coldly. "You came here brazenly to kidnap people. Aren't you looking down on us too much?"
"Haha! We have heard a lot about the famous Childe Shen. We are also familiar with Old Master Shen. That's why we treat the hostage very gently. " The blonde kidnapper pointed at Xin Qing and said, "It's just a little dirty. That's because this place is too dilapidated."
The black man interrupted him impatiently. "That's enough. Don't talk so much nonsense. Hurry up and hand over the CD." Seeing that Ying Qingcang was still not moving, he took out his gun and pointed it at Xin Qing's head. "Don't f * cking play tricks with me. Even if you leave us here today, your wife won't be able to live."
"Anam, give him the CD," Ying Qingcang said in a low voice.
Anam slowly took out the CD from his pocket. The blonde guy immediately pointed his gun at him. "Don't move. Put it on this." He kicked a plastic bag over. Anam slowly bent down and put the CD on it. Then he returned to Ying Qingcang's side.
The black man walked over and was about to bend down to pick up the CD. Childe Shen and Ying Qingcang pounced on the black man and the blonde kidnapper. Anam and Ah Chul took out their guns and pointed them at the shorter guy.
In a few seconds, the situation was reversed.
However, before Ying Qingcang could breathe a sigh of relief, the black man laughed.
"Kill us if you can. You will still be buried with us!"
