Chapter 385: Chapter 269: Choosing Silence

Tang Xi, "My name is Tang Xi."

"Then we are good friends now!" Liang Zheng reached out and grabbed Tang Xi’s hand, who subconsciously tried to dodge but couldn’t escape. Liang Zheng childishly swung Tang Xi’s hand back and forth, his smile as pure as that of his daughter Tangtang’s.

He really is a...

Fool.

Tang Xi couldn’t help but ask, "Was he born like this? Haven’t you taken him to a big hospital outside for a check-up?"

Old lady Feng is over seventy this year, her real name being Feng Jiamei.

Seeing that Tang Xi got along well enough with her grandson, she felt relieved and sighed, "Genetic disease, incurable. We spent money, his father went to work because of his illness and died, the factory compensated 500,000, all spent on his treatment, but it was useless."

Feng Jiamei locked Tang Xi in the room, "Behave well, get married to Zheng’er, and you’ll have a good life hereafter. The people in our village won’t make things difficult for you. You’re the prettiest and smartest among those who were brought here; don’t even think about running away because you can’t escape from this village!"

As she was about to close the door, Tang Xi quickly stopped her, unable to hide her urgency as she asked, "What do you mean by that? Are there other girls too? Do you know that trafficking women and children is illegal?"

"Everyone does this, what’s it to me, an old woman? Besides, I didn’t buy you, you didn’t cost me anything when you came to my home. I provide for you and feed you, what law am I breaking? I don’t understand you big city folk, but here in the village, there are rules of our own. It’s getting late, go to sleep, tomorrow you’ll marry Zheng’er."

Having said that, she slammed the door shut with a loud ’bang’.

It was locked.

Tang Xi sat on the chair, pondering the meaning behind Feng Jiamei’s words.

From the ship till now, from daylight to darkness, it’s been a journey of five to six hours.

But those two bodyguards were clearly men under the Gao Family’s command, they even said they would take her to meet Gao Youhan. How did she end up here? Yet Tang Xi knew, all this was done by Gao Youhan, kidnapping a socialite and designer, bringing her here.

-

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The police, following the location of Qin Zhi’s watch from this morning, searched all afternoon and finally found the abandoned warehouse by the sea.

Shangguan Nanxian and Shangguan Dongting also hurried over.

Seeing that the socialites were all unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Tingzhou strode in, looked around, and didn’t see Tang Xi. His brows furrowed and a shadow flickered in his eyes, his voice hoarse and deep, "Where is Tang Xi?"

Only then did Shangguan Nanxian realize, Tang Xi was nowhere to be seen.

At that, Qin Zhi quickly said, "Sister Tang Xi... she was taken away, I don’t know where they took her. I had just finished a distress call with Sister Tang Xi, when the kidnappers came in and took her."

"Who took her? When?"

Fu Tingzhou suddenly grabbed Qin Zhi’s wrist.

"Ah, it hurts." Qin Zhi’s wrist was painfully gripped by the man. Fu Tingzhou slightly loosened his grip, and Qin Zhi patted her chest, somewhat scared, but after catching a glimpse of the man’s handsome face, she suddenly felt her heart race and her face flushed as she said, "It was five or six hours ago, I’m not sure about the specifics... those two kidnappers..."

Qin Zhi was about to say that the two kidnappers were likely people from the Gao Family.

Because when they pretended to be unconscious, she heard the kidnappers mention a Miss Gao while taking Tang Xi away.

In North City, how many Miss Gaos are there?

It was already quite obvious.

Just as she was about to speak, people from the Gao Family arrived.

Gao Yufeng led, his face carrying worry, "Where’s my sister!"

At this moment, family members of several other kidnapped young ladies also arrived.

Gao Youhan was helped out by the police, her exquisite dress now covered in dust, and her face was gray as well. She appeared as if she had been greatly wronged and bullied, and threw herself into Gao Yufeng’s arms, starting her act, "Brother, you finally came, woo woo woo, it was so scary."

Gao Yufeng acted like a good brother, and the two started to perform.

"Youhan, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Doctor, where’s the doctor? Quickly check on my sister!!"

Shangguan Nanxian and Shangguan Dongting stood not far away, exchanging looks, transmitting messages through their eyes. They had to settle these kidnapped young ladies, with the medical team and the police both onsite. The police were taking statements, and the medical team was examining and treating them, as these young ladies had been terrified by their ordeal, some even bearing minor friction injuries.

The thing that the great families feared the most was that their daughters might have been violated. If such a thing had happened, it could seriously damage their reputations.

Fortunately, that was not the case.

Shangguan Nanxian also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Youhan, Youhan, what’s wrong with you!"

Following Gao Yufeng’s voice, Gao Youhan fainted straight away.

Gao Yufeng held Gao Youhan, his eyes fiercely glaring at Shangguan Nanxian, "If anything happens to my sister, Shangguan Nanxian, I will not let you off!!"

Having said that, he strode away.

Shangguan Nanxian sensed something dire.

On the side, assistant Lin Ke said, "The other young ladies from various families are fine, the designers are also fine, it’s just... Miss Tang Xi still hasn’t been found..."

Shangguan Nanxian glanced at Fu Tingzhou and noticed the chilling, formidable aura emanating from him; she exchanged a look with Shangguan Dongting, then held her breath, "Mr. Fu, I have already assigned more people to search for Miss Tang."

Fu Tingzhou’s cold eyes stared at Qin Zhi, "You and Tang Xi were locked up here together, tell me the details."

Qin Songqing also hurried over at that time, as her own sister was missing, she couldn’t just sit still. The aura of a famous model was indeed extraordinary, she protected Qin Zhi behind herself, "Sir, my sister needs to rest, the specifics will be inquired by the police."

"If anything happens to Tang Xi, I will personally extend my regards to everyone involved!"

Fu Tingzhou spoke authoritatively.

But no one dared to doubt his word.

After all, the Fu Family of North City was extremely renowned, how could anyone not know.

Qin Zhi revealed some details about being locked up here with Tang Xi. Just as she was about to mention the Gao Family, Qin Songqing gave her a look.

Signaling her to hold her tongue.

This was Qin Songqing’s selfishness, she didn’t want her own sister to be involved in the feud between the Shangguan and Gao Families.

Offending the Gao Family in North Island had no benefits.

Choosing silence was the right decision.

Qin Zhi heeded her sister’s advice and left with Qin Songqing.

"Sis, here, Tang Xi saved me. She was indeed taken away by the Gao Family’s bodyguards; I was pretending to faint, and I heard it."

As they got into the car, Qin Songqing looked at her sister’s innocent face, speaking earnestly, "Tang Xi saved you, I will hire private investigators to find out her whereabouts, and will immediately inform the Shangguan Family once we have information. But as far as this incident is concerned, pretend it never happened. You heard and saw nothing, no matter who asks, just say you were unconscious."
