Chapter 315: If Soft Tactics Don't Work, Use Force

"Hurry, let's go."

Several people quickened their pace and ran toward the outside.

A white van was parked at the entrance of the unit, and these people were only a dozen steps away from reaching the vehicle.

Once they got in the car, it would be difficult to pursue them.

Jian Yixin already had her phone in hand, ready to call the police, but it looked like there wasn't enough time, so she simply used the phone as a weapon and smashed it hard against the head of the man holding the child.

"Ouch!"

The man had absolutely no defense against a woman suddenly popping out and hitting him with something; feeling the pain, his grip loosened slightly, and the child was already snatched away by Jian Yixin.

"Help! Someone's snatching people! Kidnapping!"

Jian Yixin ran toward the elevator while holding Shi Ran, shouting as she ran.

Shi Ran was "snatched" awake and let out a loud, wailing cry: "Wah—"

One of the thugs wanted to give chase, but another pulled him back: "Hurry up and go, don't chase them; if we get discovered, none of us will be able to leave."

So, the few of them abandoned Shi Ran and carried Shi Youxuan out to the exterior.

……

Sheng Hanyu was driving home from the restaurant, feeling restless the entire way.

Originally, he had wanted to let Shi Youxuan cool off before explaining things to her later.

But halfway there, he changed his mind, so he turned the steering wheel and drove back toward the Apartment; forget cooling off, being too calm wasn't good either.

Six years ago, he had also wanted to wait for Shi Youxuan to cool off, so she wouldn't get sick from anger during her "postpartum recovery," which was why he didn't explain immediately; as a result, the misunderstanding only deepened, and he almost lost her forever!

Sheng Hanyu did not want to experience days like those a second time.

He decided to return immediately to explain to Shi Youxuan; whether she could take it in or not, he had to say it regardless.

Even if she couldn't take it in, wasn't there still Shi Ran?

Shi Ran was his divine assistant; she would help him speak even without being prompted.

As the car approached the residential compound, he felt something was off; the Security Guard was running inside, and he didn't know what had happened.

But when he saw several men dragging Shi Youxuan and preparing to shove her into a car, he understood everything.

……

Shi Youxuan had been on guard when she was struck, so the level of her unconsciousness wasn't deep; having been shouted at by Jian Yixin's sharp voice just now, she had actually already woken up.

When Shi Ran was snatched away by Jian Yixin, she didn't wake up immediately.

These people's target was her; as long as she was there, the child would be safe.

Her judgment was correct; the few of them indeed did not pursue.

But once they reached the outside, she immediately "woke up," began to struggle, and shouted "Help!" in an attempt to escape.

The opposing side had four people, and all of them knew a bit of martial arts; Shi Youxuan was only one person, and the Women's Self-Defense Technique she had self-taught from the internet years ago didn't even count as amateurish.

She was defeated after only one move, had her mouth stuffed with something, and was dragged toward the van!

Shi Youxuan thought to herself: It's over.

Then, the man beside her suddenly "flew" away, and Sheng Hanyu appeared.

"Xuanxuan, don't be afraid, I'm here."

He had caught them off guard just now, and those few people had suffered because they weren't prepared.

But now that the few of them had surrounded them, Sheng Hanyu couldn't gain any advantage; after three punches and two kicks, he was at a disadvantage, and both of them were shoved into the van and taken away.

The two were tied back-to-back, their mouths stuffed with towels, unable to shout or break free.

The Security Guard was still a step late and didn't make it in time.

Sheng Hanyu grabbed Shi Youxuan's hand and squeezed it hard, meaning she shouldn't be afraid, as they wouldn't be in danger.

Shi Youxuan pinched him, then let go of his hand in disgust.

When Sheng Hanyu appeared just now, Shi Youxuan had really thought a savior had arrived; who knew he was so fragile, not even lasting three or two blows before being shoved into the car just like her!

The car drove out of the residential compound and onto the highway.

The sound of police sirens came from afar; it should be the police arriving.

Hope rose in both their hearts, but those few people stopped by the side of the road, dragged them out of the car, shoved them into a recreational vehicle nearby, and continued driving forward!

When Shi Youxuan noticed the direction they were heading was the airport, she understood immediately—Zhu Yiwen still hadn't given up and wanted to take her back to L Country.

"How much longer until we arrive?" one of the thugs spoke; Shi Youxuan found the voice very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before...

She remembered.

Xiao Fang!

Zhu Yiwen's mistress, whom she had met once before at the Hilton Hotel.

"Soon, five minutes," another person said.

……

Five minutes later.

The car drove to an abandoned factory and stopped; a helicopter was parked on the open ground.

"Boss, what should we do with this man?" Xiao Fang was addressed as Boss.

The former Xiao Qing was now called "Boss," and having become a "Boss," she still hated Sheng Hanyu to the bone: "Drag him inside and finish him off."

"Mmph—mmph—"

Shi Youxuan struggled desperately, blocking in front of Sheng Hanyu regardless of everything, glaring at him hard, using her eyes to tell him that if they were to be killed, they would be killed together; she would not live alone.

"Damn it, why are you so troublesome?" Xiao Fang slapped Shi Youxuan across the face, cursing as she spoke.

She cursed her for not keeping to a woman's virtue and for being ungrateful.

Having already married, she didn't act properly as Lady Zhu, so why did she insist on running back to the country?

How good would it be to be by the Head of the Family's side?

That is a life that countless people dream of day and night, yet can never obtain.

Yet when such a life is placed right in front of her, she doesn't know how to be content, and goes to great lengths to give it all up and run back—who knows what she is thinking; she is brainless, shameless...

Along the way, his mouth never stopped blaming Shi Youxuan.

The blame was laced with intense envy.

He was just talking, just letting off some steam.

Shi Youxuan had only received one slap to the face; Xiao Fang did not dare to do anything else to her.

The Head of the Family had said to bring her back safely.

It wasn't just about bringing her back alive, but bringing her back in good condition!

This woman is of great use to the Head of the Family and is also the Head of the Family's legitimate wife, so Xiao Fang feels both envious and somewhat guilty toward her.

But it is different for Sheng Hanyu; he hates Sheng Hanyu to the bone.

Back when Sheng Hanyu and Zhu Yiwen were fighting, Xiao Fang had wanted to kill him, but unfortunately, he failed and was even driven out of L Country.

Later, after finally managing to return and finally being accepted back by the Head of the Family, his plan was almost ruined by Sheng Hanyu just now.

He wanted to kill Sheng Hanyu to silence him, but Shi Youxuan stopped him and he dared not make the decision on his own, so he went to call Zhu Yiwen and told his subordinates to watch the two of them closely.

After Xiao Fang walked away, Sheng Hanyu rubbed hard a few times and rubbed the towel stuffed in his mouth out.

But he did not shout; instead, he said urgently to Shi Youxuan, "Xuanxuan, you don't need to worry about me. You must live, live well and escape, don't be stubborn! Ranran is still waiting for you to take care of her."

From the moment he saw Xiao Fang, he knew that falling into his hands would mean no good.

Xiao Fang has always wanted to kill him and would not give up such a good opportunity.

He never thought that after experiencing such great storms, he would finally capsize in a gutter.

"Mmph—"

Shi Youxuan shook her head, also wanting to speak, but she could not.

"Mmph..." She glared at those few people, wanting to speak.

The thugs originally wanted to stuff Sheng Hanyu's mouth again, but he said to them, "She wants to speak, untie her."

"This woman is very important to your boss, right? If you don't let her be happy, she will make you feel even worse."

"Your boss wants to kill me; can't I say a few words to her before I die? If you won't even agree to this small request, then even as a ghost, I will never let you off."

These few people had all come from L Country, and Wang Yong had once told him that there was an unwritten rule in L Country.

When preparing to kill a hostage, as long as the request is not too excessive, they will agree to it.

This is so that the hostage does not turn into a vengeful spirit and seek revenge on the people who killed them!

Back then, because of this rule, Sheng Hanyu had even mocked it, saying what kind of requests could a person possibly have by that time?
