Lin Xinlan’s face flashed with discomfort, “I didn’t, I just ran into a bit of trouble, it wasn’t that serious.”
Qiao Yiyang nodded, changing the subject, “Let’s have the beef.
I hear it’s this restaurant’s signature dish, and it’s supposed to be very good.”
“Sure, you eat too.”
They no longer talked about what happened that day but brought up other topics.
As they ate and chatted, the meal quickly came to an end.
When it was time to pay, Qiao Yiyang did not ask Lin Xinlan for money.
Seeing he was serious about treating her, Lin Xinlan did not argue with him.
After leaving the restaurant, Lin Xinlan said goodbye to him, and Qiao Yiyang did not insist on escorting her.
She walked a short distance and just as she turned a corner, a man approached her with a spray can, spraying something onto her face without warning.
Lin Xinlan’s head spun violently.
Meeting the man’s sinister gaze, she immediately sensed danger and cried out loudly, “Help!”
The man sprayed her face again in panic, and Lin Xinlan instantly collapsed to the ground.
Qiao Yiyang faintly heard Lin Xinlan’s cry, turned around, and ran toward the corner, where he saw a man hefting Lin Xinlan onto his shoulder, about to abduct her.
“Let her go, who are you!” he demanded.
“Thud—”, someone suddenly struck him on the neck with a stick from behind, and he too passed out. freёwebnoѵel.com
The person with the stick asked, “Big brother, what about this guy?”
The man holding Lin Xinlan took only a second to decide, “Bring him along too!”
Lin Xinlan’s eyes flickered open hazily, finding herself thrown into a dilapidated little room, her body bound with ropes, leaving her unable to move.
“You’re finally awake.” A familiar voice sounded beside her.
She turned her head to see Qiao Yiyang, likewise tied up.
“Mr.
Qiao…
what’s going on?!” Lin Xinlan asked, utterly shocked.
Qiao Yiyang gave a wry smile, “We’ve been kidnapped.
I heard your scream and ran to save you, then they knocked me out.”
Lin Xinlan thought back to what had happened before she lost consciousness, immediately clearing her mind.
“Mr.
Qiao, I’m sorry, it’s my fault you got dragged into this.”
Instead, Qiao Yiyang reassured her with a smile, “It’s okay.
Fortunately, I got brought along; otherwise, it would be very dangerous for you to be alone, not to mention frightening.”
Lin Xinlan’s throat tightened, unsure of what to say.
Qiao Yiyang’s words warmed her heart, and though she had a thousand things to say, she could only muster one phrase.
“I’m really grateful to you.”
Qiao Yiyang smiled, glanced around, and said, “I think this place must be on a mountain, which should make it easier to hide while escaping.
First, let’s try to get these ropes off, then escape before they come back.”
“Why did they abduct me here?” she asked.
“I don’t know why.
Let’s just get out of here first,” Qiao Yiyang suggested, scanning the room.
Aside from a bed, a chair, and some rubbish, there wasn’t much else in the small room.
The doors and windows were shut tight and reinforced with wooden bars.
Even if they managed to untie the ropes, escaping would be difficult.
Qiao Yiyang’s gaze fell on a piece of metal, and a glint appeared in his eyes.
He hooked the metal over with his bound feet, grabbed it, then moved close to Lin Xinlan and hid the metal behind their bodies.
Lin Xinlan cooperated well; she leaned back against him, taking the metal to keep it steady while Qiao Yiyang used it to saw at the ropes around his wrists.
After just a couple of strokes, they heard noises outside.
Their faces paled, and they quickly hid the metal and leaned against the wall in silence.
