Chapter 278: Zhou Anqin Kidnapped
Zhou Anqin finished reviewing last night's homework and checked the time. It was already past four o'clock; it was time to go to the shop to help.
She packed her books and came to the window to take a look. The rain outside had stopped at some point, but the sky was still overcast. She took her keys, thought for a moment, and still took an umbrella.
Because the time she went to the shop in the evening was exactly when people were getting off work, the buses were too crowded, especially in summer, like big steamers. So Zhou Anqin always walked to the shop; the road wasn't too far, and she would arrive in half an hour or so.
On the side of the road opposite the winery gate, a white van was parked. Besides the young man driving, there were two others sitting in the back.
One was tall and burly, with a vicious face. The other looked very young, wearing a suit and tie, and even wearing nearsighted glasses, looking a bit refined.
"She's out!"
The young man in the suit held a photo in his hand. The person on it was actually Zhou Anqin. Looking at the background and the angle of the shot, it should have been secretly taken at Dicos.
The young man driving nodded, spat, and the cigarette butt he was holding in his mouth flew out through the open window. Then he started the car and followed.
Zhou Anqin was holding the Walkman Jian Qiu had bought for her, listening to music while skipping forward, not realizing that danger had arrived.
When she turned into another street, a white van suddenly stopped beside her. A young man wearing a suit and tie and nearsighted glasses jumped out of the car and grabbed her.
"Wife, I've been looking for you for several days. Why are you here? Hurry up and come home with me."
Zhou Anqin was so scared her face turned white: "What are you doing? I don't know you, let me go quickly."
Her shout immediately attracted the attention of many people.
The young man knelt on the ground with a *thump*, but his hand grabbing Zhou Anqin's arm was very tight: "Wife, forgive me. I won't argue with you anymore in the future. Really, I swear, if I argue with you again, may I be struck by lightning."
"You've recognized the wrong person, I don't know you at all." Zhou Anqin wanted to break free, but couldn't.
The young man suddenly cried: "Come home with me. The child looks for you every day and won't even eat milk powder, crying all day from hunger."
"Young lady, what couple doesn't argue? Look at your husband, he's already knelt down to apologize to you. Just forgive him." An aunt couldn't help but persuade.
A middle-aged woman said: "Exactly. A couple, fights at the head of the bed are resolved at the foot of the bed. Even if you don't forgive him, you have to think about the child. Isn't that also flesh and blood from your own body?"
"Right!" Another aunt said: "Hurry up and go back with your husband. My grandson won't eat milk powder either and can only be fed by his mother. If you don't go back and the child gets hungry and something happens, you'll regret it too late."
Zhou Anqin's face turned red: "I really don't know him."
At this time, the burly man got out of the car, grabbed Zhou Anqin's other arm, and dragged her toward the car: "Sister-in-law, if you don't go back, the child will really be starved."
"Help, help!" Zhou Anqin struggled desperately, "Save me, I really don't know them."
But the people surrounding them remained indifferent, and some were sighing: "Young people today, I really don't know what they are thinking. Running away from home and abandoning their husband and children just because of a few arguments, it's too outrageous."
"Help..." Zhou Anqin was dragged into the car, and then the car door slammed shut with a *bang*.
"Damn it, shut up!" Once in the car, the young man revealed a ferocious face and slapped Zhou Anqin: "If you shout again, I'll kill you."
Zhou Anqin's eyes welled up with tears, but she also knew that her current situation was very dangerous, so she wisely shut her mouth to avoid provoking these people into doing something harmful to her.
The burly man took out a piece of rag from somewhere, stuffed it into Zhou Anqin's mouth, and then took out a black hood and put it over Zhou Anqin's head.
"Behave yourself. As long as you don't move around, we won't hurt you."...
At the guesthouse, Feng Duo and Yao Shiguang knew that Gu Bing and Zhou Andong were eating in the restaurant, but they didn't go to find trouble. Because they knew very well that going would be in vain and would only bring humiliation upon themselves.
The two packed up, didn't even check out, and went straight to the train station to take a train back to Jingcheng. Because staying was useless; this was Jiangzhou, Gu Bing's territory. Having been pitted for over two million, they could only go back to Jingcheng to seek reinforcements.
Zhou Andong and Gu Bing returned to the winery. They didn't go straight to the dormitory but came to the office, boiled a pot of water, and made two cups of tea.
Gu Bing lay lazily on the sofa, his smugness impossible to hide. He was humming a song, his hand lightly tapping his thigh, keeping the rhythm.
Zhou Andong said with a smile: "You'd better be mentally prepared. That's two million. I estimate he'll have the heart to kill you."
Gu Bing said disdainfully: "He doesn't have the guts."
Zhou Andong said: "I might have to go on a long trip in the next few days."
Gu Bing was stunned: "Where are you going?"
Zhou Andong said: "Hefei!"
"What are you going to Hefei for?" Gu Bing asked.
Zhou Andong picked up the teacup and blew away the tea foam on top: "Of course there's an important matter, otherwise why would I run so far?"
Gu Bing snorted: "Qiuqiu isn't home, who knows what you're going to do."
Zhou Andong said with a smile: "I'm going to find girls, find beauties. Are you going?"
"Going!" Gu Bing said without hesitation: "Let's go together."
Zhou Andong said irritably: "If we both leave, what about the factory?"
Gu Bing said smugly: "Regretting what you said? Let me tell you, it's too late to regret. As for the factory, Old Du is home, what's there to worry about?"
"Ding-ling..."
The phone on the desk suddenly rang. Zhou Andong muttered, who would be calling the office at this time.
He walked over and picked up the phone: "I am Zhou Andong!"
A low voice came from the receiver: "Your sister is in my hands. Prepare cash, now, immediately, go to Liaonan City, wait at the gate of the municipal government, and someone will come to see you then."
Zhou Andong was shocked. He took a deep breath, trying to stay as calm as possible: "It's this late, where am I supposed to prepare cash?"
"I don't care where you prepare it. If I don't see you before dawn, just wait to collect your sister's corpse. Also, absolutely do not call the police. As long as we know you called the police, we won't contact you again."
After the other party finished speaking, they didn't give Zhou Andong a chance to speak again and hung up the phone very decisively.
"What's wrong?" Hearing the mention of money and seeing Zhou Andong's gloomy face, Gu Bing knew something had happened.
Zhou Andong gently put down the phone, took several deep breaths in a row, and then rubbed his face hard: "Xiaoqin might have been kidnapped."
"What?" Gu Bing let out a roar, bounced off the sofa, his face changing drastically. ===== CHAPTER 279 =====
