Chapter 968 - 972: They’re Going to Kill You
Even though he hired someone, Beitang Yao, lying on the bed with his head tilted back, remained extremely anxious, worried about Xia Qingqian’s safety.This stupid woman actually got kidnapped just after running out of the Beitang Group Company gate? Is this woman too cowardly? That’s why she got targeted?
This damned woman really made him taste the inexplicable feelings of tension and unease. He vowed to make sure those kidnappers would all meet a terrible end! Daring to play such a vulgar game with him is a blatant insult to his intelligence!
Quickly, about half an hour passed, and the phone Ye Feng tightly held rang with a sharp noise once more. He looked at the screen in panic, finding the words "Play Pet" displayed.
It seemed like Xia Qingqian’s phone. He pressed the answer button, but a deep voice spoke, "The person is at the villa entrance, please receive!" Then the call ended.
Ye Feng stared at the phone in disbelief, listening to the humming noise within. It took him a while to recover, supporting Uncle Quan, who was muttering curses about the Young Master, as they walked to the massive iron gate.
Sure enough, Xia Qingqian was leaning against the iron gate like a shattered rag doll, her entire being pale and bloodless.
Urged by Uncle Quan, Ye Feng carried Xia Qingqian back to the villa, placing her on the large bed in the infirmary room.
It’s as if God played hide and seek with them—hiding away, not letting them find her, but when their tension was about to snap, God suddenly provided a cloud of hope.
And the group of people who kidnapped Xia Qingqian faced the consequences they deserved; their hideout was completely uprooted, and their criminal activities over the years were all presented as evidence in court.
Ye Feng didn’t need to guess to know it was the Young Master’s doing. So, it was the Young Master who intervened to rescue Xia Qingqian from the kidnappers. How did he not consider that there would be an assassin organization?
It was a day after Xia Qingqian regained consciousness, but upon waking, she appeared dazed, with her clear eyes now lifeless and turned into dark, hollow pits.
Ye Feng and Uncle Quan exchanged glances for a moment, both waving their hands in front of Xia Qingqian’s eyes a few times, but she showed no reaction whatsoever.
No response even when calling her.
When Beitang Yao appeared, Xia Qingqian shook violently, murmuring softly, "I’m not his mistress, I’m not. Please don’t hurt me... don’t... don’t burn me to a crisp..."
"Beitang Yao, leave quickly, they want to kill you..."
Beitang Yao approached her a few steps closer, his eyes seemingly filled with a trace of anger. Her heart skipped, as the anger in Beitang Yao’s eyes gradually turned into a sea of fire in Xia Qingqian’s mind.
Xia Qingqian frantically flailed her arms and legs, shaking her head in pleading, "No—"
Images flashed before her eyes of the kidnappers using a knife to slash Beitang Yao’s portrait. She shut her eyes tight to avoid looking, because she feared those kidnappers would truly treat Beitang Yao that way. However, the kidnappers didn’t comply; they doused her with gasoline from head to toe. Then, from a distance, they splashed the same gasoline on a cage, where the rats inside were instantly drenched.
Time ticked away bit by bit, and the allotted time they gave Beitang Yao had already passed, yet they didn’t see the item they demanded.
They were furious—yes, furious—so they lit a lighter and tossed it near the iron cage. As soon as the gasoline met the sparks, the cage instantly turned into a blazing inferno. Inside, the rats screamed continuously, soon followed by an overpowering and nauseating stench of burnt rats.
