Before she could take two steps, a black car sped up beside her. The door opened, and two thugs forcefully dragged her inside. A pungent cloth covered her mouth, and before she could react, she passed out.
Two bodyguards attempted to grab Luo Yaling but were blocked, or rather, deliberately intercepted.
“Sister, sister, oh, my foot, sister…” Zhuo Ning rushed to the bodyguards, feigning a twisted ankle and falling to the ground to block their path. In that moment, Luo Yaling was kidnapped, and while Zhuo Ning played the victim, the bodyguards were not convinced.
The two bodyguards shot her glares before splitting up: the female bodyguard chased the car while the male bodyguard went to get their vehicle.
Once they left, Zhuo Ning stood up unharmed, revealing a sinister smile before limping toward Shen Yixuan’s company, putting on a pitiful expression.
At Shen Yixuan’s side:
“What? Kidnapped? How could you let this happen? Hey! Continue following, stay close, don’t lose her!” An angry voice filled the office.
“Slap!” Shen Yixuan hung up the phone, threw it on the desk, and leaned back, pressing his temples.
Who could it be? His mother? Unlikely. If she wanted to see the girl, she would call him directly. He needed to ask first, in case she tried to threaten him. His subordinates informed him that the kidnappers were not sent by his mother; she wouldn’t resort to thugs. Could it be that scum who had pursued the girl at her previous job? No, he had already taken care of him by having him locked in a mental hospital. That option was off the table. What about that bastard?
Shen Yixuan narrowed his eyes at the disheveled Zhuo Ning, realizing he had overlooked her. Could she be involved with the kidnappers? And how did she know them?
“Brother Xuan, why are you looking at me like that? Woo…” Zhuo Ning trembled under his gaze, pretending to cry.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, softening his expression.
“Woo… Sister was taken by bad people. You must send people to rescue her. It’s all my fault. I twisted my foot at that time,” she said, relieved that he didn’t see through her act.
“Okay, don’t cry. I’ll look for her shortly. Do you want to go back, or stay here with me?” Shen Yixuan replied gently.
“Mm, I won’t disturb Brother Xuan. Ning will go back now.” Zhuo Ning wiped her tears, her heart filled with joy.
Heh!
So that woman isn’t important after all, haha! She’ll go back and punish her for seducing Brother Xuan. These past few days, he hasn’t paid attention to her because of that woman.
“Mm.” Shen Yixuan looked at her gently.
“Then, goodbye Brother Xuan!” Zhuo Ning limped out.
Once Zhuo Ning was out of sight, Shen Yixuan’s face turned cold.
Ning, why did you lie to me? Your foot isn’t injured at all. No matter how well you act, it’s noticeable. Your foot isn’t red or bruised, just smooth. He hates deception, especially pretending in front of him. He didn’t expose her because he wanted to see her purpose.
“Xu Chu, get in here!” Shen Yixuan’s angry roar almost made Xu Chu drop the documents. He quickly entered the office.
“Go now and have someone follow Ning; she just left. The girl has been kidnapped, and I suspect it’s her. Find out where she’s been taken and notify me immediately.”
“Yes.” Xu Chu quickly walked out, dialing a phone. His unease stemmed from something happening to the girl. But why would Ning do this? What did he overlook? If a single hair on her head is harmed, he won’t let her off, even if it’s her own sister.
Luo Yaling slowly opened her eyes to find herself in an unfamiliar abandoned site, surrounded by several people in flashy clothes, staring at her with disgust. Frowning in confusion, she tried to move but realized her hands were tied behind the chair, and her feet were bound.
What’s happening? Had she let her guard down? Kidnapped twice? Why is this situation so different from the last? She could swear this wasn’t her mother-in-law’s doing. Does she have an enemy? She doesn’t remember offending anyone! Why choose such a damp, dilapidated place? Her head feels dizzy, and she wants to throw up. At least she’s not sitting on the floor.
The disgusting looks from two of her captors make her stomach churn. Their expressions of excitement and shock are infuriating. This situation feels like the big bad wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. She suspects someone is behind this, keeping her safe for now, but their stares are unbearable.
How dare you glare at me? Be careful, or I’ll gouge out your eyes and feed them to dogs.
Especially, I can’t stand your eyes. Don’t look at me like that. It’s not like I lack men to seduce me. You’re the one who seduced my brother Xuan. Brother Xuan won’t pay attention to me, but he’s already tired of you. Work is more important to him, and he said he’ll come find you after finishing. Today you’ll fall into my hands, and I’ll deal with you. When you’re dead, I’ll buy a coffin for you.” Zhuo Ning grabbed Luo Yaling’s chin viciously, her face incredibly ugly.
“Your brother Xuan? I don’t think so! He’s not an object; he never loved you. He saw you as a sister. Even if you kill me, that won’t change the fact.” Is this woman crazy? Her skin must be red. She’s gone mad with jealousy. Xuan, you’re really troublesome.
“You’re talking nonsense. Brother Xuan loves me! He does! It’s all because of you, this vixen!” Slap! Zhuo Ning grabbed Luo Yaling’s hair and slapped her.
Ouch… That hurts! She’s completely different from the usual Ning. She looks like a madwoman! This is so hard; it’s killing me. Oh! Can’t she just stop talking?
If she keeps talking, I’ll only suffer because she won’t listen. I might as well just listen quietly.
Ouch… This slap really hurts. Her face must be swollen and burning. She’s never been slapped before, not since childhood. It’s truly painful. Usually, she slaps others, but now it’s her turn. As long as this woman stops hitting her, she can scold her—just don’t touch her. She’d be willing to listen. Her face is already red, so what if it gets worse? Luo Yaling silently prayed in her heart and spat out a bit of blood.
Chapter Ninety-One: The Truth, Being Rescued
Slap! Unfortunately, contrary to her wishes, Luo Yaling was slapped again, this time on the other side.
“Say something! Why aren’t you talking? Did you realize brother Xuan doesn’t love you, so you’re speechless? No, brother Xuan never loved you. Haha!”
She’s crazy. Is it so exciting whether he loves her or not? Even without her, Xuan probably wouldn’t love her. Not worth arguing with. Luo Yaling rolled her eyes.
“What’s with that expression? Shouldn’t you be sad and heartbroken? Why this expression? Ha! I told you, brother Xuan doesn’t love you. He loves my sister! Haha! Do you know my sister is dead? Do you know how she died? I personally had her killed. Hehe!”
Huh? Luo Yaling’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Zhuo Ning.
“Haha! Because she fell in love with brother Xuan.”
I was the first to know him, but I told my sister to keep an eye on him, and she fell in love with him! We look very similar, making it hard to tell us apart. I approached him using my sister’s name, and unexpectedly, she also fell for him. Brother Xuan started to have feelings for her, so I used a little trick.
Asking her is useless; she won’t answer and even if she does, it’s of no benefit. This woman is mad with jealousy and totally lunatic. Hearing he doesn’t love her hurts, but if that’s the case, she’ll just leave. She still has her baby. But how can she escape? This crazy woman might not let her go and could even kill her. If she killed her own sister, what’s stopping her from killing Luo Yaling? Luo Yaling looked around while thinking.
“Brother Xuan, why are you here?” Zhuo Ning switched to an innocent expression, greeting Shen Yixuan.
This face disgusted Luo Yaling, and others felt similarly.
