Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 739: Siblings Meet for the First Time_1
In the afternoon, Ji Yunhuan was still in a company meeting when she received a call from Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng had been busy ever since the restrictions on him were lifted and rarely called her. Ji Yunhuan stepped out of the meeting room, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, and answered the phone. "What’s wrong?"
"Something happened." Qi Cheng’s voice sounded very serious. "Su Zi has been kidnapped."
This news made Ji Yunhuan’s heart skip a beat. Her instincts told her that this matter was likely related to Brother Long, but she still restrained herself and asked, "Who did it?"
"A’Liang said it’s Brother Long." Although Su Molang’s true identity had been exposed, those familiar with Su Molang still saw him as Su Molang. He was still the eldest son of the Su Family.
"What’s going on?"
"Xu Qingyang went out to play with Su Zi today, and Su Zi got kidnapped. Uncle just informed me that people have already been sent to search for her." Given Brother Long’s penchant for dealing with Xu Qingyang, Xu Qingyang said it must have been Brother Long who did it. Qi Cheng said, "I’m just letting you know."
Ever since Chenchen left, Ji Yunhuan had been very concerned about Su Zi. Qi Cheng feared that if he didn’t tell her, she would be angry with him later for not informing her.
Ji Yunhuan ended the meeting and left work early to meet Qi Cheng. Xu Qingyang was also there. When he saw Ji Yunhuan come in, he glanced at her with some guilt in his eyes.
Although these events had been anticipated, the moment it actually happened, it was still heart-wrenching.
Who was Brother Long?
Everyone knew he was a psychopath. Furthermore, he could even design the death of his own mother. How could he show mercy to someone irrelevant?
Thinking of this, Ji Yunhuan became very worried about Su Zi’s safety.
A girl in the prime of her youth. Just the thought of what might happen to Su Zi made Ji Yunhuan feel at a loss.
Qi Cheng walked over to Ji Yunhuan and took her to a nearby lounge. Ji Yunhuan stood in front of Qi Cheng, feeling as if she was about to lose strength from worry. "Any news yet?"
"Not yet, but I’m confident we will find her." Qi Cheng placed his hand on Ji Yunhuan’s shoulder. "You shouldn’t be too anxious."
"Su Zi was the girl Chenchen liked. Even though Chenchen has been gone for many years, as his sister, I have an obligation to take care of the girl he liked."
However, Ji Yunhuan realized she hadn’t been able to do that.
On the contrary, Su Zi had been helping her out of consideration for Chenchen.
Qi Cheng looked at her solemn expression, reached out, and pulled her into his arms offering comfort. "Don’t worry, Su Zi will be fine."
Though he said that, everyone knew how slim that hope was.
The intense pain woke Su Zi from the darkness. She opened her eyes to find herself sitting in a car, hands bound, with someone in the passenger seat.
It was already dusk. The setting sun’s light shone in from outside, and she could only vaguely see a profile. "Who are you?"
The person sitting in front did not answer her question.
Su Zi anxiously looked at him. "Why did you kidnap me?"
The other party still did not respond.
This was the first time Su Zi had ever been kidnapped. To say she wasn’t scared was impossible. Her voice noticeably trembled.
But because the person was silent, she could almost guess who had kidnapped her.
"Are you one of Brother Long’s men?" she cautiously asked.
The man in the passenger seat turned his head and glanced at her.
Just one look left Su Zi stunned. She did not expect that the person in front of her would have such clear eyes, not at all what she imagined a villain to look like.
He smiled at Su Zi. "You’re quite clever."
Su Zi struggled a bit. "What do you want to do with me?"
From Xu Qingyang, she already knew how terrifying Brother Long was. So, she didn’t associate the handsome man in front of her with Brother Long.
No one who had seen Xu Longyan would imagine he was Brother Long.
He looked at Su Zi. It was clear she was scared, but her eyes also fascinated him.
For some reason, the person in front of him felt very familiar.
He opened the car door, got out, and walked to where Su Zi was seated. Su Zi looked at him. Maybe it was because his eyes were so attractive that she felt a sense of closeness, and she forgot to be afraid.
Brother Long took a dagger from his pant leg. For the first time, a hint of unease appeared in Su Zi’s eyes. "Are you going to kill me?"
Xu Longyan sat in the seat, looked at her, and chuckled. "What do you think?"
"You seem like a good person. Why do such things?" Su Zi said. "There are many choices in life. You don’t have to do bad things."
She thought the man in front of her was probably coerced by Brother Long into doing such things.
Xu Longyan looked at the knife in his hand and then at Su Zi’s face. "You think I’m a good person?"
Too many people in this world thought he looked like a good person, and for the first time, he found it laughable. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
In the past, people thought he was good because he was good at hiding it. But now, even after kidnapping Su Zi, this young girl still said he was a good person.
Su Zi stared into his eyes. "I don’t know why, but when I see you, I feel like you’re not a bad person."
"Then what makes someone a bad person?" Xu Longyan’s chiseled face broke into a smile. "Don’t you know that people who look attractive are often the worst?"
Just like his mother, Xu Ruyan. Beautiful on the outside, but venomous to the core. She even wished him dead when he was very young.
If he had died then, it would have been better, but that woman took pleasure in tormenting him!
"But not everyone is like that." The fear in Su Zi’s eyes faded, replaced with compassion.
She actually felt sorry for a person who had kidnapped her. Even she found it surprising!
Xu Longyan chuckled and said to her, "Close your eyes. I don’t want you to feel pain."
"Are you really going to kill me?"
His voice was clear, like an angel’s. "Yes, otherwise why would I kidnap you?"
"Don’t you know that killing is against the law?" Su Zi pleaded. "Please let me go, okay? I don’t want to die yet. I still have parents who will worry about me."
"I’m really sorry, but I can’t do anything about that. Be good, close your eyes." Xu Longyan said, waving the knife in front of Su Zi. Su Zi was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly. She feared death, pain, and that her parents would worry about her...
But perhaps this was her destiny!
She started to console herself. After dying, maybe she could see Chenchen.
Although it would sadden her parents, they still had her brother. Though this brother was fake, her parents would surely get through it.
