Chapter 323: Chapter 297: Can’t Get Rid of It
Translator: 549690339 |
A hostage situation lias occurred, and the perpetrator wants to see Xiao Mei?
Yu Minglang is utterly baffled.
“I heard that his fiancee was also kidnapped around the same time, but after she was rescued…her condition wasn’t good. He seems to be unable to take the pressure, blaming your girlfriend and Hawkeye’s younger sister…”
“Shit! He blames Xiao Mei for this too? Why doesn’t he say it’s Earth’s fault for not having enough gravitational force when he can’t take a dump? I’ll go there right away – and don’t tell my girlfriend, alright? She mustn’t know about this!”
Just yesterday, Xiao Qian was discussing with Shi Yu how to find a therapist for the girl and how to help more girls with similar experiences.
But now, an incident has happened today!
Meanwhile, Xiao Qian’s shopping trip continues in the mall.
“This one is good, it complements Xiao Qian’s fairness.” Eldest Sister-in-law held up a piece of clothing, comparing it to Xiao Qian.
Mother Yu stepped back two steps, looked from afar with satisfaction, and nodded.
“Let’s pay.”
Xiao Qian felt exhausted after being toyed with by this mother-daughter combo all morning. They were just too relentless in shopping.
“This should be enough. What do I need so many clothes for as a student?”
They had spent the entire morning purchasing clothes for her, carrying so much that it felt like overkill. Women’s shopping enthusiasm can be truly terrifying when money is no object.
Especially for rich women like Eldest Brother Yu, who provided all the funds and told his wife not to return until they had spent it all. Her heart aches for the events she just went through. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
“Let’s buy two more coats before we leave for the new year. Let Ming Lang take Xiao Qian to the Northeast to see her paternal grandparents. It’s cold there,” suggested Mother Yu.
“No more! I already have enough!” Xiao Qian resisted vehemently, she had had enough.

“Young people look good when they’re thin. Look at our Xiao Qian, she looks good in anything, like a clothes rack.” Eldest Sister-in-law hadn’t had her fill yet.
“Enough is enough. We still have to go to my house in the afternoon, and we’re running out of time. Let’s find a place to eat?” begged Xiao Qian.
Mother Yu also thought so and realized they still had to formally propose marriage this afternoon too, which was important.
“Then lets go to the revolving restaurant. After eating, we can conveniently head to Xiao Qian’s house to propose.”
The group arrived at the restaurant, ordered dishes, and had just eaten a few bites when Eldest Sister-in-law suddenly pointed outside the window.
“Mom, hurry, look over there. What’s going on?”
Mother Yu and Xiao Qian followed Eldest Sister-in-law’s hand and looked over.
They were now at Qiang City’s newly built revolving restaurant, on the 20th floor. Opposite them was another building of similar height, complementing each other and serving as a landmark of Qiang City at this time.
At that moment, on the rooftop of the opposite building, a man was strangling a child who appeared to be in their early teens while standing on the edge of the building, seemingly about to fall.
This was a 20-story building!
The scene was clearly visible through the transparent glass of the restaurant, attracting the attention of many diners who crowded around the glass to watch.
Several employees of the International Trade Building tried to come forward and stop the man, who was shouting through a megaphone.
Someone opened a small window in the restaurant, and the man’s voice came through the speaker.
“I just want those two damned women to come over. If they don’t come, I’ll kill this kid!”
Xiao Qian looked over once, her vision went black, and her face turned pale. Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, she collapsed to the side.
Her sister-in-law, who was sitting beside her, immediately held her up, thinking that Xiao Qian was scared.
“Don’t be afraid, Xiao Qian. Someone will save that child. Don’t worry!”
Mother Yu turned her head, initially concerned about the kidnapped child, only to be alarmed upon seeing Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian’s face was not only pale but was shaking uncontrollably, and her breathing became rapid. Mother Yu quickly took Xiao Qian’s pulse, which, although appearing like an acute attack of some heart disease, was actually stable.
Xiao Qian’s Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder had flared up.
As soon as she saw where the child was standing, she immediately thought of her own daughter.
Her child had also jumped from such a position, the 20th floor. Her OCD suddenly flared up, making her heart race even at a glance. Through the glass, it seemed as if she was not looking at that child, but at her own Xiao Wei!
“Help… help me to the bathroom!” Xiao Qian needed to wash her hands right now.
Eldest Sister-in-law did not delay and immediately helped Xiao Qian, alongside Mother Yu. Xiao Qian turned on the faucet and quickly washed her hands, still deeply disturbed by what she had just seen.
The water seemed unable to dilute her fear and unease. The dim light in the restaurant bathroom cast a shadow on her hand as if there were bloodstains that would never wash away.
Xiao Qian washed her hands over and over, feeling increasingly unwell. At this moment, two waitresses approached, chatting as they walked.
“The Supervisor is really annoying; they won’t let me watch the excitement.”
“You’re telling me. They insisted we come back. That position I was in had such a great view… Oh, why did that person kidnap the kid anyway?”
“It’s said that his fiancee was kidnapped, like in yesterday’s news. He seems to want revenge on the two girls who escaped safely.”
“Huh? Why would he want that? Why not take revenge on the bad guys?”
“1 wish I knew. I was just about to find out when the Supervisor dragged me back, threatening to fine me if I didn’t work properly. I swear, she called us back just so she could take my spot and get an even clearer view!”
Hearing the conversation between the two waitresses, Xiao Qian suddenly stood up.
She walked over to the girl who was just speaking.
“What did you just say? Why did he kidnap the child?”
The waitress was startled but repeated what she had just said when she saw that it was a customer asking.
“They said he wanted to see the girl who was kidnapped with his fiancee. It seems that people across the street reported it, and the Messenger of Justice will be here shortly…”
Xiao Qian released her hand, and though the sticky, agitated feeling in her heart continued, her mind had cleared up quite a bit. She had a hunch who it could be.
It was the girl who had been badly beaten. After she and Shi Yu emerged, their very first task was to have Yu Minglang rescue the other abducted girls, but it was already too late.
Xiao Qian closed her eyes, remembering the conversation the bad guys were having about the girl back then.
Supposedly, she had run out of the house after arguing with her boyfriend in the middle of the night and was kidnapped.
The bad guys even laughed at her stupidity, saying she had suffered quite a bit in the mountain valley.
“Xiao Qian, don’t be afraid. It will be fine. Have faith in our people. This matter will definitely be handled properly.” Mother Yu thought Xiao Qian was afraid, so she counseled her.
Xiao Qian shook her head, “I’m not scared… I am — ”
Her rationality told her not to meddle in these matters, but she couldn’t help but think about the image of the child standing on the top of the building when she closed her eyes.
In her daughter’s past life, it had been the same situation.
She had watched her daughter jump and held her daughter’s lifeless body. That bloody scene lingered in Xiao Qian’s heart.
She stood up, took her phone out, and called Yu Minglang.
Unable to get through.
Not being able to reach him during his vacation means one of two things – either his phone is dead, or he’s hiding something from her. But what could it be?
