My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 1513: Chapter 1506: The Final Choice (12)

She knew she should pretend to be clueless right now, to make the kidnapper lower his guard, but she just couldn’t do it.

Just like a climber who has slipped into an abyss, thrown a vine by someone above. Despite knowing that the hope of climbing up was slim, she still yearned for the sky.

But because she was dehydrated, her tears merely pooled in her eyes.

The kidnapper gave her a kick: "Still alive?"

Lu Weixi knew that this was the time for her to negotiate for her own benefit. Moreover, Qin Zhiyou’s arrival meant he at least knew she was near the northwest reservoir.

She called out weakly: "Water... water... I need water."

Upon hearing her voice, Qin Zhiyou immediately raised his own: "Xixi, Xixi, what’s wrong with you Xixi! I’ll be there soon, don’t be afraid! I’m coming over to get you!" He then roared at the kidnappers: "I’ve brought the money, cash for the release, if she dies, I’d rather throw the money into the water than give it to you!"

The kidnapper’s voice was cold: "Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me right now? Keep driving your car, and if we see anything fishy about you, we’ll tear up your wife!"

After saying that, he exited the cabin and then locked it from the outside.

Once he had gone out, Lu Weixi immediately opened her eyes and peered through the cracks to assess the situation. The cabin was small, with small windows; escape through them was impossible, and there was only one door. The pair were outside, and although she couldn’t see if they had guns or the like, knives were definitely present. If she tried to kick the door out now, the noise would be too loud, and in her weakened state, pregnant, she simply couldn’t run.

Her best chance was to wait for the two men to split up, then trick one of them into opening the door, hide by the entrance, and use a stone she had already prepared to knock him out and make her escape!

She had only one shot at this, she had been waiting for dozens of hours before, and she could absolutely continue!

On the other side.

Actually, Qin Zhiyou’s side was not completely fruitless either. The criminal investigative experts analyzed that since the kidnappers were so familiar with the steel mill and the northwest reservoir, even if they weren’t locals, they must have lived in the area before.

Especially the search around the northwest reservoir, which was rarely frequented by people. Despite deploying a large police force to scour the area for a whole day, not a single clue was found. This isn’t something an ordinary person with some knowledge could manage, indicating the individual has strong anti-investigation capabilities and knows the terrain like the back of his hand. They also dispatched some police to investigate in the nearby villages, and indeed, they found a few people.

One of them was the kidnapper who spoke with a heavy accent. He had come from elsewhere to work and had previously been a ranger here, but had resigned not long ago.

However, since he had never spoken directly with Qin Zhiyou, he was just one of the criminal suspects to be sifted through. As for the individual from the steel mill, he must have worked there before and was also familiar with the situation in Yan City; otherwise, he wouldn’t drive from Yan City to the northwest reservoir, avoiding being caught on cameras.

Near the northwest reservoir, there was a railroad junction that was once used exclusively for transporting coal. In the past, the steel mill required coal for smelting steel, and this route to the steel mill just so happened to be the path along which Lu Weixi was transferred. Upon calling back to the company, it turned out that indeed, several old factory drivers hadn’t relocated to the new site and were still stationed there.
