Chapter 214: Ensure Her Safety

~6 min read 1,150 words

I will first ensure your safety.

Zhou Xian said: "They released you first; they surely don't want to provoke Lu Jingqing, so they wouldn't dare do anything to Tingting..."

Before Zhou Xian could finish speaking, Su Yun Jiao said: "Who says they wouldn't dare do anything to Zhou Tingting? Zheng Haoyuan is doing this to get revenge on you, to make a fait accompli; if he really does something with Zhou Tingting, or takes some photos, Zhou Tingting will have to marry him even if she doesn't want to!"

Su Yun Jiao's words left Zhou Xian stunned for a moment.

Zhou Xian had not considered this aspect before.

After hearing Su Yun Jiao, Zhou Xian finally understood why Zheng Haoyuan had kidnapped his sister.

"Class monitor, don't just stand there!"

Zhou Xian on the other end of the phone came to his senses and immediately had his men drive to the address Su Yun Jiao had sent.

At that moment, the driver sent by Lu Jingqing had already picked up Su Yun Jiao and got her into the car.

Su Yun Jiao also immediately told the driver to head toward the abandoned factory.

"Here."

Zhou Tingting had been staying inside the abandoned factory.

The lackeys under him had started by verbally threatening Zhou Tingting, while Zhou Tingting was inwardly calculating when Su Yun Jiao would bring people over.

Therefore, Zhou Tingting paid no heed to what those lackeys said.

Seeing Zhou Tingting show no reaction, Zheng Haoyuan's face turned cold.

"Or you could simply agree to marry me, get engaged, and I'll let you go; otherwise..."

Zheng Haoyuan dropped the pretense this time, stepped close to Zhou Tingting, and said: "I've never been one for pity and tenderness; if I post your photos online, I doubt anyone would dare marry you afterward."

Upon hearing Zheng Haoyuan's words, Zhou Tingting quickly realized what kind of photos he meant.

Her complexion grew increasingly dark and grim.

"Pah! You're nothing but scum! Shame on you!"

Zhou Tingting angrily glared at Zheng Haoyuan and said: "If you dare touch me, my parents and brother will never let you off! By then, your Zheng family will be waiting for death."

"If I took your photos, your parents and brother would all demand that I marry you, lest a woman like you ruin the Zhou family's reputation."

"You're talking nonsense! My parents and brother are nothing like that!"

Zhou Tingting would absolutely not believe her parents and brother would do such a thing.

Zheng Haoyuan gave a cold laugh and said: "I never expected the Zhou family's eldest miss to be so naive; in this world everyone pursues profit, and even if you are their daughter, if you cannot create value for them, they will mercilessly discard you."

Zhou Tingting gritted her teeth and said: "Don't project your own beliefs onto others! I tell you, my parents and brother are not like that; what you say is utterly impossible!"

"Then let's see: after I take those photos of you, will the Zhou family people marry you off to me?"

The lackeys around dared not interfere with Zheng Haoyuan's affairs, so they all headed out of the abandoned factory, while at that moment Lu Jingqing's people were already approaching the factory with the police.

When those few lackeys came to their senses, they realized they needed to run.

Before those few lackeys could get out, the police had already arrested the whole lot of them.

And Zheng Haoyuan inside the abandoned factory, hearing the commotion, also ran out.

Upon seeing so many police, Zheng Haoyuan's face changed instantly.

Just as Zheng Haoyuan tried to flee, Zhou Xian stepped forward and kicked him to the ground.

"What have you done to my sister? Bastard!"

Zhou Xian went all out, almost knocking Zheng Haoyuan unconscious.

"Brother! Brother, I'm in here!"

Zhou Tingting shouted for help toward the outside.

Upon hearing his sister's voice, Zhou Xian immediately headed into the abandoned factory.

All he saw was Zhou Tingting bound to the ground; seeing his sister in that state, Zhou Xian felt heartbroken.

He quickly stepped forward and untied the ropes on Zhou Tingting.

"How are you? Did he do anything to you?"

Zhou Tingting, experiencing this for the first time, collapsed into Zhou Xian's arms and burst into tears.

Zhou Xian didn't know how to comfort his sister, so he gently patted her back: "Brother's here, don't be afraid."

"Zheng Haoyuan said you don't care about me at all; as long as he takes some indecent photos of me, you'll have me marry him."

Upon hearing his sister say that, Zhou Xian's face instantly turned grim.

"Don't listen to his nonsense; our parents and brother will never abandon you. If he really does that to you, we'll make the entire Zheng family pay with their lives."

Zhou Tingting knew her brother and parents were not like that, so she threw herself into Zhou Xian's arms and wailed.

Zhou Xian directly lifted Zhou Tingting up, and while facing Zheng Haoyuan, who had just kidnapped his sister, his eyes grew ever colder.

If one were to say that at first I merely disliked Zheng Haoyuan,

now I feel only loathing toward him, and I will absolutely not allow anyone who harms my sister to live comfortably in this world.

"Take the person away."

Zhou Xian coldly said: "Don't stand in my way here."

"Young Master Zhou, rest assured, we will definitely handle this properly and give the Zhou family an explanation."

The police were deferential to Zhou Xian, and as he carried Zhou Tingting out, he saw Su Yun Jiao rushing over.

Su Yun Jiao saw that Zhou Tingting was unharmed, and only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing Lu Jingqing's car also arrive, Zhou Xian said lightly: "Su Yun Jiao, thank you for today, but Tingting still has injuries; I need to take her back for a checkup, let's meet again tomorrow at school."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt Zhou Xian had become somewhat aloof toward her.

After Zhou Tingting and Zhou Xian left, Su Yun Jiao's previously tense nerves finally relaxed.

When Su Yun Jiao turned around, she saw Lu Jingqing appearing behind her at some unknown time.

"Jingqing, big brother?"

"You weren't supposed to come home after school; now it's fine, right? Did you almost get into trouble again?"

"Fortunately, this time Zheng Haoyuan's kidnapping target wasn't Su Yun Jiao."

"Otherwise, things would only get more troublesome."

"I never imagined Zheng Haoyuan would have the nerve to do this."

"Su Yun Jiao shook her head."

"By doing this, Zheng Haoyuan has dragged the entire Zheng family into trouble."

"This time, the Zhou family will definitely not let the Zheng family off."

"Don't think about all that; what you should be thinking about now is tomorrow's exam."
