After hanging up the phone, Shen Qinglan stopped the car and waited for Eden and Sisli to catch up. When Eden and Sisli saw Shen Qinglan stop, they naturally stopped too.
“Give me the things on you.” Shen Qinglan spoke directly. Everyone knew what this thing was referring to.
“Ann, you can’t go alone, it’s too dangerous.” Eden disagreed.
“I can’t joke about Yu Xiaoxuan and Yan Xi’s lives. Their target is me.”
Eden looked at Shen Qinglan, and finally compromised under Shen Qinglan’s gaze and took the things out from under the seat.
“Ann.” Sisli grabbed Shen Qinglan’s hand with a worried look in her eyes.
“Rest assured.”
Shen Qinglan drove very fast, leaving Eden and Sisli behind.
In a hotel in Beijing, a woman received news that among those arrested this time were not only Yu Xiaoxuan but also Yan Xi. A playful smile then appeared on the corner of her mouth.
“I didn’t expect that the game would become more and more fun by accident.” She was shaking a wine glass in her hand. She took a sip of the wine, smiled, took out her mobile phone and dialled a number.
Seeing that her daughter had not returned for a long time and that she could not get through on the phone, Zhao Jiaqing finally realized that something was wrong and called Yan Shengyu, but he was also hesitant.
“Shengyu, tell me the truth, is something wrong with Xiao Xi?”
Yan Shengyu turned his face slightly away, not daring to meet Zhao Jiaqing’s gaze, “Mom, you’re overthinking it. I’ve already called Xiao Xi. She just had too much fun and wants to stay at her friend’s house for a few days. She’ll be back in two days.”
“In that case, why can’t I get through to Yan Xi’s phone?”
“It’s late now. She must have gone to bed. You know she likes to turn off her phone before going to bed.”
Zhao Jiaqing thought so too, suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and said, “Call Xiao Xi tomorrow and ask her to come back quickly. It’s not right for a grown-up to live in someone else’s house all the time.”
“Okay, I got it. I’ll pick her up tomorrow. Now that the college entrance exam is over, it’s normal for her to go play.” Yan Shengyu put his arm around Zhao Jiaqing’s shoulders and led her into the room. “Mom, it’s getting late. You should go to bed early too.”
“Okay. Remember to pick her up tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Yan Shengyu coaxed Zhao Jiaqing, but the relaxed look on his face disappeared after he walked out of the room. He had just called Shen Qinglan, but the call didn’t go through. Shen Qinglan only left him a message saying that she would definitely bring Yan Xi back.
Yan Shengyu naturally understood what this meant.
Yan Xi, Shen Qinglan, you must be safe.
….
Shen Qinglan’s car sped along the road, heading towards Silla City.
Three and a half hours later, Shen Qinglan finally saw the gas station in Silla City. She called the person back, thinking that the call would not go through, but unexpectedly it went through.
“I’ve arrived at the Silla toll booth, where should I go next?”
“Miss Shen is really punctual. We are in Qinghe Town, Silla City. Come over.” The man glanced at his watch and said, “I’ll give you an hour.”
“OK.”
Silla City was close to the border of LG, and Qinghe Town was even closer to the border of Country Z. Shen Qinglan remembered that she had read a geography book before. If she remembered correctly, Qinghe Town was a small border town with a small population and a backward economy. However, because it was close to LG, DP activities there were very frequent.
When the car drove into the town, Shen Qinglan took a look at the time. It was 2:20 in the afternoon, and there were still ten minutes left until the time they agreed on.
The phone rang again, and Shen Qinglan picked up, “Get off the car now and walk 500 meters forward.”
Shen Qinglan got out of the car as she was told, left the car where it was, and walked forward. As she walked, Shen Qinglan looked around.
There were mountains and forests all around here, and the view was not wide. There were not even many people. Shen Qinglan walked along the way for a while before she met someone, an old lady with a hunched back and a cane. Shen Qinglan tried to talk to her, but the old lady seemed not to understand her. Helplessly, Shen Qinglan had to give up.
Five hundred meters ahead, a wooden house appeared in front of Shen Qinglan. It had the same architectural features as the houses here, with no difference. The door was open, Shen Qinglan walked in, and then saw Yan Xi and Yu Xiaoxuan tied up and thrown on the ground.
Shen Qinglan took a look at the two men at the first moment and saw that apart from being a little weak, they did not have any scars on their bodies. Three men stood there, one with an oriental face and two with western faces. What Shen Qinglan noticed was the tattoos on their arms.
That symbol meant they were people from BK.
The oriental-looking man saw Shen Qinglan, looked behind her, and didn’t see anyone, so he applauded, “Miss Shen is Miss Shen, she is really brave.”
When Yu Xiaoxuan and Yan Xi saw Shen Qinglan, their eyes lit up instantly, and Yan Xi even cried.
Shen Qinglan smiled at them.
The two Western men saw Shen Qinglan appear, and took out their pistols from their waists, aiming at Yan Xi and Yu Xiaoxuan’s heads. They widened their eyes in horror.
Although Yu Xiaoxuan had seen props on the set, she didn’t think that the thing pointing at her head was fake.
“I’m here, you can let them go.” Shen Qinglan glanced at Yu Xiaoxuan and Yan Xi and spoke.
The man smiled, “Since you’re here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?” Seeing Shen Qinglan’s hand on her lower back, the man waved his hand, “Miss Shen, don’t take the things out. My two friends are timid and will be scared. If their hands shake and they press somewhere they shouldn’t…”
Shen Qinglan put her hand down, “What do you want?”
The man smiled and said, “Miss Shen, we don’t want anything, we just want to invite you to our place.”
Shen Qinglan glanced at Yu Xiaoxuan and Yan Xi who were tied up tightly, and said sarcastically, “Is this how you treat guests?”
“It’s because Miss Shen is so difficult to invite. We can only take this approach. Please forgive me, Miss Shen.”
Shen Qinglan looked at them and said calmly, “I can go with you, but you must let my two friends go.”
No, Qinglan don’t do this.
Yu Xiaoxuan shook her head desperately when she heard this, and Yan Xi also kept shaking her head. It was obvious that this group of people came for Shen Qinglan, and they even had a gun in their hands. If Shen Qinglan left with them, would she still be able to come back alive?
Shen Qinglan glanced at them and shook her head gently, signalling them not to worry.
“Ms. Shen, I believe in your sincerity, but I am not confident in your skills. How about this, to reassure me, you drink this cup.” The man handed a cup to Shen Qinglan.
“Don’t worry, there’s nothing else in here except some sleeping pills,” the man added.
Yu Xiaoxuan shook her head even more violently and twisted her body, trying to stop Shen Qinglan.
….
Han Yi came back from a partner’s banquet and called Yu Xiaoxuan but the call didn’t go through. He didn’t care because he knew she was busy. But not long after, he received a call from Linda, saying that she couldn’t contact Yu Xiaoxuan and that she had gone to her house but no one was there.
Han Yi remembered that Shen Qinglan had called to ask about Yu Xiaoxuan, and felt uneasy. After hanging up the phone, he called Yu Xiaoxuan again, but still couldn’t get through. He called Shen Qinglan, but it showed that she was busy.
Ten minutes later, the call still showed that the call was ongoing. Han Yi had a bad feeling and bought a ticket back home without discussing the next cooperation.
After returning to China, he went home to look for Yu Xiaoxuan, but there was no one there, not even the car. He continued to call Shen Qinglan, but still couldn’t get through. Han Yi had no choice but to call Fu Hengyi.
“You said Yu Xiaoxuan is missing too?”
“What do you mean? Who else is missing?”
Fu Hengyi pursed his lips, “Yan Xi.”
“Not only that, I can’t contact my sister-in-law, Hengyi, I’m worried that something has happened to the three of them.” Han Yi said in a deep voice.
Fu Hengyi also thought of this possibility and frowned, “First, go to the places that Yu Xiaoxuan often goes to look for her.”
Han Yi nodded and was about to leave when he received a call from his assistant, saying that Yu Xiaoxuan’s car was found in the north of the city, along with a female corpse.
His expression changed, and he almost stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. “Who is that female corpse?”
“I don’t know. The police are investigating inside. I can’t go in, but judging from her clothes and figure, she doesn’t look like Miss Yu.”
Han Yi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, but the assistant’s next words made Han Yi’s heart rise again.
