Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 426 - 427: Turning Point of Fate

Lin Banxia drove the car toward the parking lot, completely unaware that three commercial vehicles had quietly started following her from not far behind.

She was naturally a little careless, believing the world was still a very beautiful place, filled with kindness. How could she possibly detect the danger that was approaching?

As she selected a relatively open area to park the car and opened the car door, a dark silhouette sped toward her, blocking her path.

Stunned, she watched as several figures jumped out of the vehicle as soon as her car door was opened. One of them pulled a cloth toward her face to cover her mouth and nose.

Lin Banxia’s beautiful eyes widened in terror, but within moments, she lost all consciousness and fainted.

When she awakened, she found herself locked up inside a room.

Her face turned pale with fear. Summoning her waning strength, she crawled up and moved toward the lone door in the room.

She pounded on the door violently. "Let me out! What do you want from me? Let me out now!"

"Behave yourself!" a voice outside barked at her.

"Why are you kidnapping me? Is it money you’re after? We can negotiate. As long as you let me go, I’ll give you money," Lin Banxia said, suspecting that the kidnappers might have targeted her because of her status as Huo Yanting’s ex-wife.

After all, everyone knew she must have received a handsome sum from the divorce settlement with Huo Yanting.

Of course, it could also be something else—something about her personally.

The thought sent chills throughout Lin Banxia’s body.

She couldn’t stop trembling. Turning back, she surveyed the cramped room, but her handbag was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Banxia felt like she was on the verge of breaking down. How could something so terrifying happen?

Could this be yet another one of Chu Tingting’s schemes?

"Open the door! I want to meet the person calling the shots!" Lin Banxia screamed with anger.

If it really were Chu Tingting, this time, she believed she had leverage to negotiate.

After all, she now held another identity. Chu Tingting shouldn’t go so far as to take her life, right?

But it was no use—the people outside did not respond. The silence felt as eerie as being cast adrift in the vastness of space. The quiet outside was suffocating.

Lin Banxia pressed her back against the wall and slid down to the floor, drained of strength.

She had finally found her mother, but now fate had delivered this cruel twist. She didn’t even know if she would survive to escape from this place.

Who would save her?

Huo Yanting!

Bitter anguish filled Lin Banxia’s heart. Huo Yanting was far abroad—how could he possibly come to her rescue?

Perhaps all she could do now was pray to the heavens.

Huo Tianfeng received the good news: his men had successfully kidnapped Lin Banxia and were holding her in a rural house outside the city.

"You carried this out cleanly, right? No loose ends, no one noticed anything?" Huo Tianfeng asked anxiously.

"Mr. Huo, rest assured, this isn’t our first rodeo. That woman is locked up tight—I’ll keep her for a few days. Once your big plan succeeds, everything will follow your arrangements," the person replied.

"Remember—not a scratch on the girl. Wait for good news from me," Huo Tianfeng reminded them, specifically due to his son. He issued the warning again just to be sure.

"We wouldn’t dare lay a hand on someone you told us not to touch, Mr. Huo. Don’t worry; she’ll be fed well and taken care of," the other party reassured him.

Only then was Huo Tianfeng satisfied. "Now go ahead and call Huo Yanting!"

"Understood. I’ll call Huo Yanting immediately and tell him that the woman he loves is in my hands—and that I want ten billion yuan in exchange!" The man’s voice filled with greed as soon as he mentioned the enormous sum.
