Chapter 377: Chapter 377 She became scared_1

Xia Qingtian took a closer look and realized the person blocking their path was none other than—

Shi Qian!

Upon seeing that Cheng Bingbing’s face was fully healed, Shi Qian’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Cheng Bingbing, your face is healed?"

How is that possible?

These past few days, whenever she had spare time, she would always spend it with Shen Zhiyi. Even when she didn’t have the time to visit, she would still call Shen Zhiyi, worried that Xia Qingtian could take advantage of any loopholes and secure the surgery for Bingbing to remove the scar on her face.

But now the scar on Cheng Bingbing’s face was gone!

"That’s right..." Xia Qingtian replied with a smirk, in a wonderfully buoyant mood, "Not only is Bingbing’s scar gone, but her skin is even better than before. Are you angry? Jealous, afraid, apprehensive?"

At her words, Shi Qian instinctively took a step back.

She was not wrong. Shi Qian was indeed very scared and apprehensive.

It’s highly possible that Xia Qingtian’s mother could be a lost family member of the Shen Family lineage.

Even now, before her origins had been revealed, she was already losing to Xia Qingtian.

If in the future the Shen Family’s lineage found her, she would have an unreachable prestigious family background, and at that point, Shi Qian might not even qualify to contest her.

She found this truly unbearable!

"Are you really scared?" Xia Qingtian asked, somewhat surprised by her expression of fright.

When had Shi Qian’s courage shrunk so much? All it took were a few light-hearted words to frighten her.

Shi Qian pressed her lips together, not saying anything.

"Since you’re afraid, then stop your machinations. We should each keep to our side," Xia Qingtian left it there without further intimidation.

If Shi Qian hadn’t provoked her intentionally, she wouldn’t want to waste her time on her.

Rather than fight with Shi Qian, Xia Qingtian preferred to spend her time on her own business.

After saying her piece, Xia Qingtian led an oblivious Cheng Bingbing away from the set and into the company.

During the time that Cheng Bingbing was injured, the projects they had already agreed to could not be carried out. They had relied on assistance from the company’s colleagues to handle it.

They had been working really hard.

Now that Cheng Bingbing was fine, Xia Qingtian thought to let everyone finish work early and celebrate.

She treated the company’s colleagues to a meal at the largest and most luxurious buffet restaurant in A City.

She also promised to give out bonuses this month.

All her colleagues were overjoyed. It had been many years since they had received a bonus. Many almost forgot the existence of bonuses in this world.

Throughout the meal, everyone felt re-energized.

Just when everyone had finished eating and drinking and were preparing to leave, Xia Qingtian unexpectedly received a call from Bo Jingyan, checking if her party had finished.

He said that he had finished handling his company’s matters and was on his way to pick her up. He estimated that it would take about twenty minutes to arrive.

Because of this call, Xia Qingtian decided to wait at the parking lot next to the restaurant for Bo Jingyan to pick her up instead of catching a ride home with her colleagues.

While she was browsing the internet on her phone, looking for recent entertainment news that could possibly give Cheng Bingbing some extra exposure, a car suddenly pulled up in front of her.

"Ma’am, please get in the car." said the driver, dressed in a black suit, as he approached her.

"You’re already here? Didn’t you say it would take around twenty minutes?" Xia Qingtian asked, raising her eyebrows in surprise.

Then, she looked at the time on her phone and realized that less than ten minutes had passed since Bao Jingyan’s call.

"I had good luck today. No traffic jams and I hit all the green lights, so I arrived early," the driver explained respectfully.

From the sound of it, he seemed to be making sense.

However, Xia Qingtian had this gut feeling that something just wasn’t quite right.

The driver wasn’t aware of what she was thinking at the moment. He had already reached the side of the car and opened the rear door, saying, "Ma’am, Mr. Bo is waiting for you in the car."

Xia Qingtian looked up subconsciously.

The light inside the car was dim, but there was indeed a tall figure sitting upright in the car.

Xia Qingtian felt a sudden uneasiness but managed to maintain a calm exterior.

She nodded, "Oh, okay..."

She took a couple of steps forward, then while the driver was not paying attention, she violently hit him on the head with her bag and forcefully slammed the car door shut, before running towards the direction where the crowd was densest.

While running, she was also shouting for help, and gave a backward glance; she saw that neither the driver nor the man in the car had come after her.

But even so, she didn’t dare to let her guard down.

She didn’t stop but instead ran even faster.

Just when she was about to run out of the parking lot, all of a sudden...

A person came rushing out of the corner and blocked her way. Before she could react, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck.

Immediately after, her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.

By the time she woke up again, Xia Qingtian found herself tied hands and feet, thrown onto the back seat of a car.

The conversation of two men could be heard in her ears.

She immediately realized that she was in danger.

But she wasn’t sure who was after her.

Even though she was awake, she didn’t dare to open her eyes. She feigned unconsciousness, but her hands, tied behind her back, were slowly exerting force, trying to break free from the ropes.

While she was making her attempt, a chuckle suddenly came from beside her ear, "Since you’re awake, why don’t you sit up and stop pretending."

Xia Qingtian stiffened but still remained still.

What if the man was trying to trick her?

She felt a kick, "Stop pretending. The moment you woke up, your breathing became uneven."

Xia Qingtian realized that he wasn’t trying to trick her, he had really noticed that she was awake. She had no choice but to open her eyes and look at the man who had just spoken.

The man had a white mask covering his face, hiding his features and only revealing a pair of narrow, enchanting fox-like eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you abducting me? What do you want? Is it money, or something else?" Xia Qingtian composed herself and asked.

Mask Man offered no answers to her questions, instead asking a question of his own, "Our driver asked you to get in the car, but you ran away. Did we give ourselves away somehow?"

The reason he had to come in person was because his silhouette in the dark resembled Bo Jingyan’s. He thought he could successfully trick Xia Qingtian into getting in the car.

He had not expected that Xia Qingtian would spot the flaw.

If he hadn’t prepared carefully in advance, Xia Qingtian might have successfully escaped, making him the laughing stock of his organization.

"If I answered you, would you let me go?" Xia Qingtian asked with a grimace.

"No way!" the man rejected her immediately.
