Chapter 82: Chapter 82: She Was Actually Kidnapped

Fang Anning went to the restroom, while Chen Rui waited outside for her.

But he waited for a long time and still did not see Fang Anning come out.

Chen Rui couldn’t help feeling anxious, and hurriedly took out his phone to call her.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not answering."

Chen Rui’s face turned pale, and he immediately rushed towards the direction of the ladies’ restroom.

However, he ran into a burly middle-aged woman at the door.

The middle-aged woman grabbed him, yelling, "Are you blind? This is the ladies’ restroom."

"Sorry, big sister, I know this is the ladies’ restroom."

"You know it’s the ladies’ restroom and you still barge in? Also, who are you calling big sister?"

"Sorry, beautiful lady, my... my female friend went inside, and it’s been a long time without her coming out. Could you please go inside and help me look for her? She’s pregnant, and I’m worried something might have happened," Chen Rui pleaded.

"Alright, I’ll help you go in and ask." The woman’s heart softened when she heard "pregnant," and she let him go to ask on his behalf.

But she quickly came back out and said: "I asked, there’s no pregnant woman inside."

Chen Rui’s face turned whiter as he immediately took to his heels to the security room of this place to check the surveillance footage.

While he was urging the security to check the surveillance, he also called He Tingchen.

He Tingchen was busy with something, and Wen Yi picked up the phone. Wen Yi’s face also changed color upon hearing the news and immediately lowered his voice, saying, "You search quickly, I’ll inform the CEO right now."

After hanging up, Wen Yi went to find He Tingchen, and cautiously told him about the disappearance of Fang Anning.

He Tingchen stood up immediately, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Notify everyone, put all efforts into the search."

"Yes."

After saying that sentence, he had already left.

He was going to the Real Estate Trading Center personally.

Fang Anning slowly opened her eyes to find herself tied up by her hands and feet to a chair.

"Mmm mmm."

She struggled and called out, but her mouth was sealed with tape, and she couldn’t make any noise.

She remembered washing her hands in the restroom when suddenly someone put a towel over her mouth from behind. After that, she lost consciousness.

Now, she was tied up here, her mouth still taped.

The room was dark and damp, and she did not know where it was.

No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like she had been kidnapped.

But, who could the kidnapper be?

There was a "squeak," seemingly the sound of a door opening.

Fang Anning hurriedly looked over, just to see a silhouette resembling that of a woman walking in.

As the person slowly approached, she finally saw who it was.

It was indeed a woman, and a familiar one at that.

"Bet you didn’t expect it to be me! Who would have thought we’d meet again in this way," the woman said with a light chuckle as she walked over and ripped the tape off her mouth.

"Ahh."

Fang Anning let out a blood-curdling scream.

The tape was extremely sticky, and it felt like a layer of skin from her lips was being ripped off as it was removed.

"Zhou Muyan, it’s actually you?"

"It is me. Is that so strange?"

Zhou Muyan switched on the light and pulled up a chair to sit down.

Only then did Fang Anning make out that this place must be a basement, with various clutter piled up at the side, which explained the musty smell permeating the air.

"Zhou Muyan, why did you kidnap me? To kill me and marry He Tingchen? You’re thinking too simply. Even if you killed me, He Tingchen wouldn’t spare you a glance."

Fang Anning’s mind was racing, considering the reasons why Zhou Muyan would kidnap her.

Aside from that, she couldn’t think of a better reason, so she voiced it out to probe her.

Zhou Muyan snorted with laughter: "Fang Anning, do you think everyone is desperate for He Tingchen? I admit, although he is quite handsome, he means nothing to me. Besides that, with his infamous reputation as the King of Hell, who would dare to like him except for a fool like you?"

"If it’s not to marry him, why kidnap me? It can’t be for revenge for your brother, can it? You’d better not forget what they did to you last time," Fang Anning said with irony.

Zhou Muyan responded icily: "Of course I haven’t forgotten. I kidnapped you not for anyone else, but for my own reasons. Fang Anning, do you have any idea that someone’s after your life? No, to be exact, they’re after He Tingchen’s life. And you, you’re just bait."

"Was the car accident also orchestrated by you?" Fang Anning asked coldly, her expression chilling.

Zhou Muyan laughed snarkily: "I don’t have such great capabilities. However, I can tell you who did it, so you don’t die clueless."

"Who?"

"The Qi family."

"The Qi family?" Fang Anning frowned.

She had never heard of them.

Zhou Muyan continued: "Of course you don’t know who the Qi family is. How would a bottom-dweller like you be aware of them? Let me tell you, half of the electronic factories in Yun City belong to the Qi family."

"Being so wealthy and powerful, why would they kidnap me?" Fang Anning was even more perplexed.

Zhou Muyan explained: "Didn’t I tell you? You’re just bait; their actual target is He Tingchen."

"Is this Qi family the same one He Tingchen married into for his first marriage?"

Suddenly Fang Anning remembered, He Tingchen’s first wife was a Qi.

The coverage back then was sensational, the marriage of two major Yun City families, allying in strength and making others envious.

But not long after the wedding, the young Miss Qi died.

And because of this, the Qi and He families became mortal enemies, and there had been no interactions between them for ten years.

But a decade had passed; why were the Qi family seeking revenge on He Tingchen now?

Zhou Muyan smiled surprisingly: "I didn’t expect you to know even this. You’re really smart."

Fang Anning pressed her lips together and voiced her doubts.

Zhou Muyan retorted disdainfully: "How would I know, and why would I care? All I care about is that the Qi family is willing to pay me a large sum of money for my help, and that’s enough for me."

"You’re not short of money, what do you need so much for?" Fang Anning questioned angrily.

Zhou Muyan huffed: "Who said I’m not short on money? The Zhou family has been out of money for a long time. The dowry given by the He family, they had to save it for Zhou Musen. What am I worth? I can only rely on myself to get money. Fang Anning, to tell you the truth, we are half-sisters, we share the same father, I have no ill intentions towards you. Just be good, let me get the money, and I won’t hurt you."

"Fine, I’ll behave. But how will you hand me over to the Qi family? And how did you get Lu Tianyu to call and trick me into coming out? He’s not someone who can be easily seduced and deceived," Fang Anning asked.

Zhou Muyan let out a light laugh, showing a hint of shyness: "I have my ways, you just need to call He Tingchen now and ask him to save you. Once things settle down outside, I’ll let you go."

With that said, Zhou Muyan took out a mobile phone, dialed He Tingchen’s number, and brought it to Fang Anning’s ear.
