"Sure enough, it was you." Xin Qing looked at Lu Manman. "Why did you …"
Lu Manman stared at Xin Qing with disgust. "Why? Haha, don't pretend to be innocent. I'm not Ying Qingcang or Chen Ming. I won't fall for it. "
"Since you know that I have Ying Qingcang, why did you have to blame me for what happened between you and Chen Ming?" Xin Qing didn't think that Lu Manman was such an irrational person. How could she do such an irrational thing?
Lu Manman stared at her with a ferocious expression. "Then who should I blame? Myself? " She covered her chest and bent over to laugh. "I should blame myself for marrying him when I knew that he loved you. I should blame myself for naively thinking that he wouldn't love you if you had another man. Hahaha … "Lu Manman looked up." Unfortunately, I was wrong, and so was he. He thought that he would forget you after marrying me, but he didn't even touch me. "
All of a sudden, Lu Manman rushed up to Xin Qing and slapped her across the face. "Why?" Lu Manman shrieked. "Why should I become your sacrificial lamb?"
"Calm down. It's useless to kidnap me. You should talk to Chen Ming. After all, you are husband and wife now." Xin Qing endured the pain and tasted blood in her mouth. She tried to stay calm and not to anger Lu Manman. This woman was very emotional now. Xin Qing was really afraid that she would hurt her.
She was here alone, so Zhang Mi must be safe. Now Ying Qingcang must know that something had happened to her. She had to hang in there and wait for him to save her.
Ying Qingcang was looking at Chen Ming, who had been beaten to the ground, angrily.
"Can you calm down and listen to me?" Chen Ming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and wanted to stand up, but Childe Shen kicked him down. "Bullshit! If it weren't for you, how could Xiao Qingqing have been kidnapped?"
Chen Ming had to lie on the ground, but his eyes were fixed on Ying Qingcang. "It's useless even if you kill me. The most important thing now is to find Xin Qing."
"Where is Lu Manman?" Ying Qingcang asked.
"I don't know. I'm looking for her too. I've gone to all the possible places." Chen Ming punched the floor hard. He did not expect that Xin Qing would be in so much danger because of him.
Childe Shen called his men again and hung up in disappointment. "No, it wasn't done by the gangsters."
"Either he's a newbie or he's from another province." Ying Qingcang's eyes were cold. He looked like a lion that was about to fly into a rage. "Keep looking. Look for Lu Manman. She's the key." Anam suddenly rushed in and shouted, "I found Lu Manman's car. It was abandoned at the highway intersection in Nancheng."
"Then the target is in Nancheng." Ying Qingcang glanced at Childe Shen. The latter immediately picked up the phone.
"Anam, call the police." Ying Qingcang could not wait any longer. There would be a better chance if both the gangsters and the gangsters worked together.
Anam hesitated for a moment. "Young Master, the reporters know, the newspapers …"
"I don't have time to care about that. Call the police." Ying Qingcang did not want to alert the police. If he did, the media would definitely report on Xin Qing. They might even dig out her relationship with the Xin family. But now, he did not have time to care about that.
At this time, Lu Manman was still crying and laughing hysterically at Xin Qing. Just then, her phone rang. She picked it up in a panic and ran to the door. Xin Qing moved her numb body. She heard Lu Manman talking to someone outside the door. Then, she saw a tall man walk in. Xin Qing squinted to see his face clearly, but she realized that he was wearing a white mask. Only his eyes and chin could be seen.
"Didn't you say that you were just scaring her?" Lu Manman followed behind him with a plastic bag in her hand.
The man's voice was obviously changed with a voice changer. It was sharp and piercing. "Yes, but letting her go now would be too easy on her. Lock her up here for a night and let her go tomorrow."
"Okay, I don't want anything to happen tomorrow. If anything happens, Chen Ming will never forgive me for the rest of my life." Lu Manman became a smart and capable white-collar worker again. She walked to Xin Qing's side and untied the rope on her arm. She took out two lunchboxes from the plastic bag. "Eat. Ying Qingcang won't let me go if you starve to death."
When Xin Qing heard that it was just to scare her and that she would be released the next day, she finally felt relieved. She took the lunchbox and opened it. There was a fried fish inside. A pungent smell assailed her nose. Xin Qing covered her mouth and lowered her head to retch.
"So delicate." Lu Manman handed her a bottle of water. Xin Qing drank a few mouthfuls and picked up the lunchbox. She had to maintain her strength. If they went back on their word, she would have to rely on her own strength to escape. But when she smelled the fish, she felt nauseous again and vomited all the water she had just drunk.
Lu Manman was disgusted. She stood up and said, "Let's go. We'll let her go tomorrow."
The man and Lu Manman left. Xin Qing moved her arm and wanted to untie the rope on her leg, but it was tied tightly. She gave up after a long time. She felt hungry, but when she saw the lunchbox, she couldn't eat a single bite. She could only drink a few mouthfuls of water and leaned against the wall in a daze.
Lu Manman sat in the man's car and looked sideways at the masked man who was on the phone.
"Ying Qingcang, if you want your woman to be safe, hold a press conference and donate all the Ying clan's money to charity. Otherwise, wait to collect your woman's corpse. "
"Are you crazy?" Lu Manman stared at him.
The man's gaze was fixed on the entrance of a fast food restaurant outside the car window. His expression was hidden behind the mask. "Why are you so nervous? I just want to see how far Ying Qingcang is willing to go for that woman." There was a couple at the entrance of the fast food restaurant. The woman was bent over and vomiting as she scolded the man behind her.
"You know that I'm pregnant and can't smell fish, but you still bought me fried fish." The man behind her apologized as he fed her water.
Lu Manman saw that he wasn't driving and knocked on the steering wheel. "What are you looking at? Didn't you just buy the fast food from here? Why, are you hungry? "
"I see …" The man suddenly laughed. "If that's the case, I can't let you go back alive."
Lu Manman was shocked. "What did you say? You want to kill Xin Qing? "
"This has nothing to do with you." The man started the car. Lu Manman screamed, "No, I'll be a murderer. You're crazy. I'm going to call the police." After saying that, she reached for her phone. Before she could open her bag, she was hit on the back of her head and fainted on the seat.
"Originally, you didn't have to die, but now …" The man laughed harshly.
At the Ying clan building.
"Young Master, you can't do this. Master won't agree."
Ying Qingcang sat behind his desk. "I can't let Xin Qing spend the night in the hands of kidnappers."
"But... you can't just donate Ying Enterprises!" Ah Nan said anxiously. "But... you can't donate Ying Enterprises!"
Childe Shen grabbed Chen Ming by the neck. "Are you going to f * cking tell me or not? How did Lu Manman get an accomplice?"
Chen Ming's face was ashen. If Ying Qingcang really donated the Ying clan, he would suffer a fate worse than death. At this time, the policeman who was in charge of communication outside walked in with a gloomy expression.
"We found Lu Manman."
Ying Qingcang stood up immediately. "Where?"
The policeman frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Under the cliff in the north."
Ying Qingcang's heart suddenly jumped. "What do you mean?"
"She's dead. The car flipped off the mountain. It's unrecognizable."
Chen Ming stumbled back a few steps. "How could this be? How could this be? "He grabbed the policeman." Are you sure it's Lu Manman? "
"Yes." The policeman thought for a moment and said, "We can't rule out the possibility of murder, but everything is still under investigation. We can't confirm the result."
Ying Qingcang's phone suddenly rang. He closed his eyes and waited for the policeman who was monitoring the phone to signal him before he picked it up.
"Ying Qingcang, keep your money. I've changed my mind. Just wait to collect your woman's body."
"Who are you? What do you want? Where did you keep Xin Qing? "
"Don't worry. When she's dead, I'll tell you. I hope you won't be too sad when you see her body! Hahahaha. "
"Hello … Hello!" Ying Qingcang threw the phone and cursed. He stood up and rushed out.
The policeman stopped him. "Mr. Ying, it's useless for you to go out like this."
"Is it useful for me to sit here?" Ying Qingcang looked at him coldly. Childe Shen hurried forward and held his arm. "You can't break down now. If you don't calm down, who else can analyze the problem? Are you going to rely on the police?"
The policeman's face darkened, but he didn't say anything. The monitoring officer reported the tracking location.
"It's a public phone in the development area. We've already notified people to go over."
The night gradually darkened. Soon, it was dark.
Xin Qing woke up again. There was a palm-sized window on the high roof. The moon shone down from above, and she could vaguely see things.
"I can't cry. I can't cry. I have to be brave. Ying Qingcang must be looking for me. As long as I can hold on until dawn, I can go back. " Xin Qing moved her legs and picked up the cold rice beside her. She endured the fishy smell and stuffed two mouthfuls of rice into her mouth. Then, she quickly washed it down with water.
Her legs were numb because of being tied up for a long time. Xin Qing was worried that her legs would be injured after being tied up for a night. So, she began to think of ways to cut the ropes around her. However, it was too dark in the room. She couldn't see anything clearly. She regretted falling asleep during the day.
She put her hands on the wall and tried to stand up. She slowly exerted strength with her legs and pushed against the wall behind her. When she finally stood up, she lost her balance because her legs were tied up too tightly. She knelt down again.
"Ouch …" A piercing pain came from her knees. Xin Qing's tears came down. She tried to stand up again little by little with the help of the wall. Then, she leaned her back against the wall and rubbed her knees. Then, she slowly jumped to the side.
In this small abandoned factory, there was only a large cement pool in addition to the rack for drying cloth. Xin Qing couldn't see inside, but she thought it was probably a dyeing pool. She jumped over the wall. There was a pile of trash. Xin Qing wanted to rummage through it. In the end, she really found a broken steel ruler.
Xin Qing sat down again and began to cut the rope with the broken part of the steel ruler.
