Chapter 761: 747, Jian Qing Taken Away (1)_1 Chapter 761: 747, Jian Qing Taken Away (1)_1 “Ding-a-ling!”

The wind chimes hanging from the window grilles swayed, making a crisp sound.

Pushing open a pair of glass doors, Jian Qing and Quan Yifei walked into the bookstore. Perhaps due to the early morning, there were not too many customers inside, and only a few scattered people sat at the tables and chairs along the side.

“Yifei, what brings you here today?”, a middle-aged woman who had been arranging the books said, seeing Quan Yifei and immediately wearing a smile on her face.

Jade, the owner of the bookstore, was quite familiar with Quan Yifei as she often visited her store over time.

“No overtime work today. You can continue with your work, Jade. Don’t mind me”, Quan Yifei replied casually, waving at Jade.

“We just got a new batch of comic books in the store. Take your time to look around”, Jade suggested.

“Alright then!”

After greeting Jade, Quan Yifei turned to Jian Qing standing beside her.

“Sister-in-law, the storybooks and books on pregnancy are over there. Let me show you the way.”

Jian Qing nodded, her red lips curved slightly at the sight of a child engrossed in a book.

The picture books were at the back of the store. Jian Qing quickly selected a number of these, and in a short time, she had quite a few in her hands.

“Sister-in-law, let me help you carry these.” Quan Yifei extended her hand to take all the books from Jian Qing’s hand. Looking at her choice of books, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Sister-in-law, why did you decide to buy children’s storybooks? Are they for your baby?”

Only children could get immersed in these fairy tales, after all.

“Yes, they are for the baby to hear”, Jian Qing confirmed with a smile.

All of their conversations were being watched by a pair of cold eyes, lurking in the dark. Under the dim lighting, the cruel mask of the man behind those eyes loomed eerily.

“Action!”

A voice, barely audible, rasped harshly.

Unaware of the impending danger, Quan Yifei continued to assist Jian Qing in picking up the storybooks with great interest.

“Sister-in-law, this one is not bad either. Take a look.”

Jian Qing looked at the storybook that Quan Yifei was holding and gave a slight smile, “Okay, let’s buy it too…”

Before she could finish, her beautiful face suddenly hardened. She dropped her book, grabbing Quan Yifei and pulling her close.

“Who is it?”

“Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?” Quan Yifei was confused, looking at Jian Qing with a puzzled look.

Jian Qing didn’t answer her, taking a cold, icy smile, “Hiding makes no sense, does it?”

At this, Quan Yifei felt a jolt in her heart and started to vigilantly scan the surroundings.

“Miss Jian is indeed well known!” The rasping voice was filled with ruthless malice.

Before the voice had faded, a patch of dark fabric entered the vision of both Jian Qing and Quan Yifei.

The man was entirely coated in a dark cloak, the face veiled by a vicious mask, hiding any trace of his identity.

“Who are you? What do you want?” Quan Yifei stood before Jian Qing, her back rigid, like a strung bow waiting to be released.

“Miss Jian, we’d like you to accompany us. I believe you wouldn’t want innocent people to suffer due to you”, the man ripped open his cloak. His tall figure was thrown into the light, the chilling eyes looking past Quan Yifei, and landing on Jian Qing.

“No way. In your dreams!” Quan Yifei, realizing the man was after Jian Qing, was firm to shield her.

She turned her head and whispered, “Sister-in-law, I will distract him, you run.”

Being pregnant, Jian Qing couldn’t possibly fight like she usually did. If she becomes agitated, it could disturb her pregnancy and be unhealthy for both her and her baby.

Jian Qing, warmed by Quan Yifei’s protective nature towards her, looked at the man, her gaze frosty.

“Who are you really?”

“Who I am does not matter. Miss Jian, there is no point in stalling. My patience is limited. If you do not want your baby to be harmed, please?” The man’s frigid gaze fell on Jian Qing’s baby bump as his robotic voice echoed again.

Jian Qing’s fluttering eyelashes cast a cold shadow on her face. Her lips twitched slightly, a glimmer of bloodlust flickering in her eyes.

“Sister-in-law, you can’t go with them.” Quan Yifei held her hand, trying to discourage her urgently.

If anything happened to her, Quan Yifei would never forgive herself, or have the face to meet her brother-in-law.

“Yifei, don’t worry, nothing will happen to me”, Jian Qing said calmly, her hand on Quan Yifei’s shoulder.

They were surrounded, and if she resisted, it would lead to a ruthless fight. She might have never worried about these people before, but now her life had another meaning. She couldn’t risk her babies.

“And one more thing, Miss Jian, please leave your phone here.” The man seemed to know Jian Qing well enough to command without hesitation.

Jian Qing smirked, took out her phone from her pocket and handed it to Quan Yifei. In a voice that only they could hear, she said, “Give this to Xiaojing.”

Quan Yifei, clutching the phone, blushed with worry, “Sister-in-law!”

“It’s okay. I will be back soon”, Jian Qing reassured her, patting her shoulder comfortingly.

“Time’s up, Miss Jian”, the man took out a gun from his waist, seemingly warning Jian Qing not to make any moves.

Jian Qing glanced at the gun in his hand, snorting sarcastically, and walked towards them.

“Sister-in-law!”

Quan Yifei saw Jian Qing’s departing figure and hurried towards her, but she was stopped by the man’s men.

“Keep an eye on her. Don’t let her use the phone”, the man ordered, giving Quan Yifei a sidelong glance.

“Yes, sir.”

The man exited the store through a side door with Jian Qing. A black van was waiting outside.

With a swoosh, the door of the van opened.

Jian Qing teared her gaze away from the store and entered the car.

The man shut the door behind her and took a seat in the passenger side.

“Drive!”

With one command, the vehicle sped away like an arrow.

“Move! Move away now”, Quan Yifei pressed her face against a glass window, watching the van drive away with Jian Qing. Anxious, she started pushing the man in black, wanting to give chase.

The man in black aimed a blow at her neck, “You asked for this.”

“You…!”

Quan Yifei stared at him in disbelief, then her body gave way, collapsing onto the ground, unconscious.

“All retreat!” The man in black commanded over his Bluetooth. His cold, ruthless voice sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.

In a blink, the air seemed to stir as black shadows silently dispersed from the store.

Unnoticed, the surveillance monitor above the counter had already gone dark, while Jade laid motionlessly on the table, as if asleep.

“Jade, we are ready to pay!”

Two young girls, carrying a stack of books, walked up to the counter, calling the shopkeeper affectionately.

However, there was no response from Jade for a long time.
