Su Xing calmly drove out of the villa area. The road felt uneventful, but as she approached the bar, she finally sensed an air of danger.
After parking in her designated spot, Su Xing noticed a figure dressed in black athletic wear, wearing a black cap and a mask that obscured almost his entire face. Remembering her previous experience of being kidnapped, she immediately locked the car and called the bar's counter, pleading, "Send someone out quickly, help me!"
However, it was evident that locks only deterred certain people. Some individuals possessed extraordinary skills that posed a serious threat to life. Before Su Xing could finish her sentence, the car door was yanked open, and in the next moment, she was pulled out forcefully.
Desperate to hold onto her phone, Su Xing fought back with all her strength, but she was no match for his lethal moves. Her parking spot was on the edge, with dense bushes behind it and another parking lot two meters away. The man seemed to have planned this perfectly; he knocked Su Xing unconscious and dragged her into his vehicle.
Inside the bar, Yang Zekai rushed out with others just in time to see a van speeding away down the road, heading north. "Damn! Chase after them!" Yang Zekai shouted as he jumped into his car, followed closely by three others.
Su He was the last to run out. Upon seeing the situation, he quickly realized what had happened. Just as he was about to jump into his car and follow, Yang Zekai shouted at him, "Call the police! Check the surveillance! Keep me updated!"
Without wasting a moment, Su He called the police and hurried to review the surveillance footage from earlier in front of the bar. They couldn't underestimate this kidnapper's intelligence. He had used fake license plates and completely concealed his face.
Another headless case! Panic surged through Su He; he knew he lacked sufficient connections for this kind of situation, so he quickly reached out to Mu Beiyao.
When Mu Beiyao saw Su He's number flashing on her phone, her heart sank. Something had gone wrong again.
Su He locked up the shop just as Mu Beiyao arrived at the police station. Without hesitation, he informed Shen Jingyu about the incident right away.
At that moment, Shen Jingyu was sitting with Han Ruoxi when he received Su He's call. In the Vermilion Bird Pavilion at Wangyue Tower, Han Ruoxi gazed greedily at the man who had caused her so much heartache.
"Jing Yu, you’re here to meet me because of Su Xing again, aren’t you?"
I sincerely wish you both well. Do you still need to be so guarded against me? Have you forgotten how good of friends we used to be?
Shen Jingyu looked coldly at the girl before him, who had changed so much. Using retreat as a means of advancing was indeed a clever tactic. This move must have been taught to you by Geng Rui.
To lure someone in while keeping a tight grip on the strings—how could I have imagined that you would still be acquainted with Geng Rui right under my nose?
Han Ruoxi's heart trembled. How could he know about her relationship with Geng Rui? Did he already know the details about Su Xing being kidnapped by the Western Country a few days ago?
"I came today to clarify things with you. Ruo Xi, everything I’ve done for you has always been because of your brother, Han Shuo. I have never had any personal feelings for you."
"To be honest, if I hadn’t seen the same virtues in you as in Shuo, I wouldn’t have elevated you to your current position. Having done all this, there’s no reason for me to ruin your life. But you must not disturb Su Xing any longer. Otherwise, I will no longer consider the past friendship between me and Han Shuo!"
Han Ruoxi's face turned pale. "So, everything you've done for me has only been for my brother's sake? What about me? Have you ever cared about me?"
Shen Jingyu's voice was resolute: "I have never cared about you."
Tears streamed down Han Ruoxi's face like pearls from a broken string, uncontrollable and flowing freely.
At that moment, Shen Jingyu received a call from Su He and learned that after just one day apart, Su Xing had gone missing again!
"Han Ruoxi, you'd better ensure that today’s incident has nothing to do with you! Otherwise, I will not let you off easily!"
With those harsh words, Shen Jingyu left in a hurry, his eyes filled with a fierce intensity.
Han Ruoxi was taken aback; his emotions shifted so quickly. She still didn’t know that Su Xing had indeed been kidnapped again because of her.
This time, Shen Jingyu went directly to the military base with Luo Hao.
In Rong Xigu's office, Shen Jingyu personally operated the computer and quickly locked onto the person who had abducted Su Xing.
His car had false plates, making it impossible to trace his true identity. As for their escape, he had already switched vehicles in several blind spots of the surveillance cameras.
The upcoming search would be considerably more troublesome, requiring a large number of personnel to operate effectively. Shen Jingyu's face darkened at the thought, and it was terrifying.
Yet Rong Xigu, undeterred by the gravity of the situation, quipped, "Why do you love getting kidnapped so much, woman?"
Shen Jingyu shot him a sharp glance for a moment, but then he lowered his head, seemingly murmuring to himself, "Perhaps I can only bring her trouble."
This doubt was not a self-deprecation but rather a reflection of the reality he perceived. Worry planted a seed in Shen Jingyu's heart; he thought that after rescuing her, he might gradually keep his distance from her. But even this thought felt like a knife cutting through his heart—how could he possibly do that?
Everyone around Su Xing exerted every ounce of strength they could muster to search through the midnight hours. Finally, Luo Hao led a team to investigate a small town north of the city. On the outskirts stood an abandoned factory that had lights flickering to life tonight.
Shen Jingyu immediately made arrangements; the police coordinated with the troops, and this operation was entirely under his command. He no longer hesitated to mobilize his resources.
While checking this location, they simultaneously received information about the kidnapping of Su Xing. The global wanted criminal not only committed murder but also engaged in organ trafficking; wherever he went, the scenes of homicide were gruesomely bloody.
This news quickly reached Shen Huai Min's ears. Given that it involved a wanted criminal and the considerable commotion stirred up by Shen Jingyu, even the Minister personally arrived at the scene.
At ten past midnight, just as Shen Jingyu was preparing his team for departure, Luo Hao rushed over, frantically holding up his phone for him to see.
"Xiao Jie is live-streaming a murder!"
In an overseas virtual streaming room, it seemed as if multiple phones had been infected with a virus; users were inexplicably forced to watch this live broadcast.
On screen, Su Xing was tied to a wooden chair by Wu Zhuang Da. Her eyelids were heavy as if she could barely keep them open, yet she was trying to hold on. Her wrists were bound behind her back, and blood dripped steadily onto the ground below, splattering and kicking up dust.
Su Xing's mouth was taped shut, and her pale neck bore several prominent red marks from friction.
Just one glance was enough for Shen Jingyu's heart to feel like it was being ripped apart.
