Chapter 142: Bai Shuruo is Kidnapped

Bai Shuruo saw this and, thinking he was targeting her, couldn't help but mock herself: "That's right, my husband hasn't even woken up yet, who would I have a child with? Now is not the time to talk about this; come with me to the police station. I want to see how Han Chunqiu bribed people to crash into my husband like that."

Meng Ze said, "I'll go get the car."

"Okay."

Bai Shuruo hadn't slept much in the second half of last night, and today she had spent half the day investigating Han Chunqiu. Now, sitting in the car, she soon fell asleep.

Meng Ze also drove cautiously, not wanting to disturb her.

It was four or five kilometers from the company to the police station where the case was filed, and the route passed through a roundabout.

As Meng Ze was driving and about to enter the roundabout, a car behind him suddenly forced him to a stop. The moment he stopped, several men in black got out of the car in front, and one of them smashed the window and dragged Meng Ze out from inside.

Meng Ze had some fighting skills, but these men were clearly trained, and he was pinned down after only a few exchanges.

Bai Shuruo in the back seat woke up suddenly. By the time she regained her senses, a black bag had already been placed over her head, and then she felt a blow to the back of her neck; her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.

The men in black had originally intended to knock Meng Ze unconscious and dump him by the side of the road, but Meng Ze somehow found the strength; seeing Bai Shuruo being carried into the car, he quickly lunged toward it, so the men in black simply took him along as well.

When Bai Shuruo opened her eyes again, it was already dark.

Before her was a dilapidated house, seemingly in the suburbs, and Meng Ze was lying beside her.

Her heart tightened abruptly—had she been kidnapped?

What was the intention behind these people kidnapping her?

Could it be that Han Chunqiu did this again?

Her hands were tied, so she used her feet to kick Meng Ze. Meng Ze woke up shortly after; he crawled to a sitting position and glanced around.

"Where is this?" Meng Ze asked.

Bai Shuruo shook her head: "I don't know, I just woke up."

Meng Ze's hands and feet were both tied, and he tried to struggle.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Stop struggling, you won't be able to escape."

Immediately after, the door opened, and a tall, sinister-looking man walked in, holding a mobile phone.

It turned out that this small house was equipped with cameras, and he could check the situation inside through his phone.

"Han Chunqiu, it really is you!" Seeing Han Chunqiu, Bai Shuruo couldn't help but glare at him angrily.

"Yes, it's me." Han Chunqiu smiled coldly.

He usually liked to smile, and at most he looked like a stingy old man, but this particular smile was exceptionally sinister.

Bai Shuruo said: "It's fine if you want to scheme for money, but why do you have to take lives? You harmed Brother Han like that, and now are you planning to kill me too?"

Han Chunqiu laughed coldly again: "Kill you? You don't need to worry, you won't die. If you die, how will I go abroad? Where would I get the money to go abroad?"

"You want to hold me hostage to negotiate with my parents-in-law, to make them arrange for you to go abroad so you can escape legal responsibility?"

"You have a little bit of cleverness, but not much." Han Chunqiu said coldly: "I originally thought that after Han Yangting fell, the company would at least have to arrange for me to be a Vice President or something. I didn't expect that in the end, it would be you sitting in that position. You, a yellow-haired little girl who just stepped into society, what right or ability do you have? The people of the First Branch guarded against me to this extent, so I won't talk about family affection or righteousness anymore. I'll just scrape up a sum and leave. I didn't expect you to discover the falsification and ruin my good fortune!"

Bai Shuruo glared at him: "Aren't you afraid of retribution? You'll just run away, but what about your family? Can they get away?"

"That is naturally a gamble, to see if I can use you to trade for my whole family." Han Chunqiu said coldly.

Afterward, he walked up to Bai Shuruo and, while recording a video, intended to slap her.

Bai Shuruo was slapped hard; she only felt half her face burning with pain, as if her jaw were about to dislocate, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Meng Ze immediately blocked Bai Shuruo: "Don't hit her, hit me instead!"

Han Chunqiu didn't hesitate to slap Meng Ze: "Don't think I don't know that you bullied my Jiani."

After slapping him four or five times in a row, Han Chunqiu finally felt satisfied. He then took the recorded video and went to another place to send it to Ye Caiyue: Bai Shuruo is in my hands. If you want your daughter-in-law's life, prepare thirty billion and a private jet for me to go abroad.

The night grew deeper.

Bai Shuruo and Meng Ze were still locked up here.

There were no lights here, and there were many summer mosquitoes flying about.

There was also no food, and Bai Shuruo's stomach was growling with hunger.

She felt a bit scared now, frightened by that slap.

But Meng Ze didn't seem particularly scared; his face was swollen from the beating, and his speech was slurred, yet he still shouted outside: "Is anyone there? I need to relieve myself? I need to use the toilet!"

There were two people guarding outside, and one of them was extremely impatient: "What are you shouting for? If you have to pee, hold it in, otherwise just do it in your pants!"

"Do you people have any humanity?" Meng Ze asked.

The voice outside said mercilessly: "No."

Meng Ze searched the room for something to cut the ropes, but the room was empty; there was nothing.

The two had no choice but to lean against each other.

Meng Ze asked Bai Shuruo: "Are you scared?"

Bai Shuruo nodded: "A little."

"I guess Han Chunqiu's goal is money and a plane. Do you think your husband's family is willing to spend so much money to ransom you?"

Bai Shuruo nodded firmly: "They will be willing. You don't need to worry, we'll be fine soon."

She just believed it.

The sky gradually brightened.

Bai Shuruo and Meng Ze were back-to-back, and they fell asleep leaning against each other at some point.

Later, a kick to the door startled them awake; Han Chunqiu had come again.

There was a smile on Han Chunqiu's face; seeing that look, one knew that Ye Caiyue had agreed to all his demands.

"Hehehe, you two have really been wronged," Han Chunqiu said.

At the same time, he placed two portions of breakfast in front of them.

Meng Ze asked, "If you don't untie us, how are we supposed to eat?"

"Can't eat?" Han Chunqiu said indifferently, "Then you can eat while lying prone; at a time like this, why bother with dignity?"

Bai Shuruo said, "Have your conditions been met? When are we leaving?"

"Naturally, we will leave once the plane is ready," Han Chunqiu said.

Han Chunqiu stared at Bai Shuruo, and for some reason, he suddenly grinned, his smile looking sinister: "Your family agreed to let us go, give me three billion, and a plane; I didn't expect you to be worth so much."

Bai Shuruo was frightened by his smile, feeling that there was some conspiracy behind it, and she couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?" Han Chunqiu said coldly, "The reason you are valuable is simply because you are young and beautiful, as pure as a little flower. Tell me, if you were tainted, or if you were pregnant with someone else's seed, or perhaps missing a leg or an arm, would the Han Family still think you are valuable?"

Bai Shuruo caught off guard, shifted backward: "What do you want to do?"
