Chapter 156 Kidnapped
Chapter 156 Kidnapped
Yu's father stared intently at his retreating figure, his mind in turmoil.
"Old Yu, you must be tired. Have some tea." The woman, who was counting the gold and silver jewelry her father had recently given her in her room, suddenly received a tip-off phone call.
It is said that the master is very powerful. He can not only tell fortunes and avert disasters, but he is also a famous detective in the industry and a well-known master of catching adulterers among the wives of celebrities.
Upon hearing this, Yu's mother instantly lost her composure, even feeling that the gold in her hand no longer smelled appealing. She casually tossed it into the cabinet, then hurriedly grabbed a cup of tea and prepared to go in and investigate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached, the master pushed open the door, came out, and turned to leave.
Moreover, the way the other person looked at her was unfathomable, making everyone uneasy.
Upon seeing her enter, Mr. Yu's expression was somewhat unnatural, but he quickly concealed the complex emotions and suspicion in his eyes and reached out to pull her into his arms.
He initially took a liking to Yu's mother at a bar, but the twenty-year age difference made him hesitate.
The other person is like a nimble and beautiful lark, freely displaying themselves on the stage.
At that time, he was going through a period of depression due to the loss of his wife, and he almost immediately became infatuated with this young and beautiful woman. After going out to dinner and chatting a few times, his feelings for this woman grew deeper and deeper.
Later, after drinking, they had an affair and ended up in bed together. He then naturally married her.
Although she wasn't as capable as his ex-wife, she was sensible and beautiful, and could often make him laugh. Being with her made him feel much younger.
He couldn't believe she would betray him.
But once the seed of doubt is planted, it will take root and sprout wildly.
Inside the hotel.
Yu Nanqing, who was expected to wake up tomorrow, woke up in the middle of the night. The medicine had a very strong aftereffect, and when she woke up, she had a splitting headache and her steps were unsteady and weak.
She forced herself to get out of bed, calmly looked around, and determined that it was a hotel.
She carefully examined her entire body and found no signs of tampering, instantly feeling relieved.
However, she didn't have her phone on her, nor was it nearby.
She was certain that her kidnapping was not an accident, and that it was most likely the work of the Yu couple.
She had just come to see her and was given the cold shoulder, and then she was drugged and tied up. What a coincidence!
All she could say was that the Yu couple were too cunning.
My thoughts drifted back to this afternoon; I guessed she took the Chinese medicine when her colleague treated her to coffee at work.
She never expected that the Yu couple would bribe her colleague to drug her, and she never expected that her colleague, with whom she had worked for almost a month, would betray her for money.
The most urgent task right now is to find a way to escape.
After observing the hotel, she roughly came to a conclusion.
The third floor is too high; if she jumped, she probably wouldn't be able to struggle. Jumping down is not a reliable option.
Climbing down wasn't practical either; the first and second floors were equipped with anti-theft devices, and the exterior was almost entirely covered with sharp spikes.
Yu Nanqing frowned, sweating profusely from the lack of any clear explanation.
There were three bodyguards standing outside the room. She thought of using the excuse of asking for help to lure away the other two, but with the third guarding her, she had no way to escape.
She bit her lip, her gaze suddenly falling on the room service landline in front of the bedside table.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and after hesitating for two seconds, she moved over.
But she gave up before she could even pick up the phone to make a call.
The label on the landline allowed her to identify which hotel it was.
This hotel operates on a typical "master-servant" principle, where the orders of the wealthy are absolute.
Each room is handled by a different manager, so she would be exposed as soon as she made a phone call, because the money came from Yu's father, so they would only listen to him.
Perhaps the moment she dialed the number, the other party called Yu's father and played their conversation on the same frequency.
She was at her wit's end and felt like she was doomed.
If we don't find a way to get out now, we won't be able to escape tomorrow.
She could guess why Yu's father had gone to such lengths to kidnap her; it was simply because the company was in trouble and he needed her to arrange a marriage to fix it.
She had known about the problems at Yu's company for a long time, but she didn't understand company management, so she went out to earn money early, thinking that she might be able to fill some of the gaps later.
She should thank her past self, otherwise she would have had no money to live on after being kicked out of the Yu family.
He was so resolute in severing ties back then, but now he's coming back to her. Doesn't he care about contradicting himself and becoming a laughingstock?
As time passed, Yu Nanqing gradually became desperate, her heart filled with anxiety, and she even prayed that Shen Mochen could be telepathically connected with her and instantly teleport to her to save her.
But that possibility is too slim to be true. This morning, Shen Mochen told her that he had to meet with a major client tonight and that he probably wouldn't be going back.
If he didn't go back, he would have no idea she wasn't home, no idea she was in trouble, and no idea that his beautiful wife was about to be sold to another man by his father.
She still clung to a sliver of hope, relentlessly searching the entire room, trying to find a way to escape.
Hanging down from the bed curtains or sheets? That's unrealistic; she'd be poked to a pulp by those troublemakers on the second floor.
Shouting for help? That's even less realistic. This hotel is known for its customer service. Before she can even make a couple of shouts, the bodyguards outside will get a message and come in to subdue her.
despair.
Yu Nanqing was so exhausted that her head was throbbing even more. She slumped on the carpet, staring at the dark sky outside, imagining that Shen Mochen would come to rescue her on auspicious clouds.
Exhaustion washed over her, but Yu Nanqing's eyes gradually hardened. If things didn't improve after a while, she would take a gamble and jump from the third floor.
She couldn't see clearly because it was dark; what if there was soft grass below?
At worst, she'd break her leg if she jumped, but she could hop on one leg and still get out.
As dawn broke, Yu Nanqing's tension grew stronger. She exhaled softly, leaned on the table beside her to get up, and put on everything she could find in the room, hoping it would help her relax.
She had to mentally reassure herself several times before she mustered the courage to walk to the bedside. Just as she was about to climb up, she heard a beeping sound coming from the bedroom door. She froze, her pupils dilated, and in a panic, she hurriedly climbed onto the windowsill.
Just as she tiptoed up to jump, a tremendous force struck her waist, pulling her back down.
Yu Nanqing was terrified and struggled incessantly, regretting her hesitation earlier.
"I will absolutely not compromise. You'd better give up on the idea of me going to a political marriage." She said fiercely, leaning down to bite the large hand that was tightly holding her waist. Only when she bit down and saw the familiar red rope on it did she gradually calm down.
She froze, turned around stiffly, and when she saw the face of the person in front of her clearly, tears welled up in her eyes instantly. She moved her lips, wanting to speak out in grievance.
But the sound was immediately covered.
Shen Mochen was wearing a suit identical to the bodyguard at the door. He looked down at Yu Nanqing, slowly moving his arm around her and gently patting her back to comfort her. But he said something completely different: "Miss Yu had better face reality. Right now, it's the most worthwhile thing for you to do is to follow Chairman Yu's arrangements."
