Tang Xi acupunctured Qiao Yuxin after giving her a massage. It was 6pm when she finished the treatment on Qiao Yuxin. After saying good bye to Qiao Yuxin, she rejected Little Five’s offer to send her home. “You had better stay here and protect Aunt. I think that man is not gonna stop. I’m afraid Aunt Qiao may not be able to handle it alone.”
Little Five thought for a while. Young Master did ask him to stay here to protect Madam and to make sure that no one dangerous comes near her. It should be no problem for Miss Xiao to go home by herself, so he said, “Okay, take care on the way, Miss Xiao.”
Qiao Liang bought this parcel of land in a suburban area and built this villa, so the transportation here was not convenient. Tang Xi had to walk for some distance before she reached the villa area where there was a bus. However, before she walked to the villa area, a car pulled over in front of her.
Tang Xi stopped, looked at the car that had suddenly stopped in front of her and smiled. Just then, the car door was opened and a man got out. Tang Xi looked at this man who she was familiar with and raised her eyebrows. “President Lu, are you waiting here for me?” She was sure Lu Guangxiong must harbor evil intentions waiting here for her. He either wanted to get some information about Aunt Qiao from her, or hold her as a hostage to threaten Qiao Liang because he had found out her relationship with Qiao Liang.
Lu Guangxiong really hated the composed and confident look on Tang Xi’ face. He narrowed his eyes and asked darkly, “Aren’t you afraid?”
Tang Xi smiled and looked up at Lu Guangxiong. “You aren’t afraid. Why should I be afraid? But I’d like to remind you, Mr. Lu, are you sure you can afford the consequences of kidnapping me?”
Just then, her cell phone rang. Lu Guangxiong pounced towards her to snatch her cell phone, but she quickly stepped back and picked up the phone. “Hello, Brother.” She pointed at Lu Guangxiong with a finger, warning him not to move. If he dared snatch her cell phone, she would shout help.
Knowing Tang Xi was a smart girl, Lu Guangxiong dared not act rashly. He watched warily Tang Xi answering the phone.
As he expected, Tang Xi didn’t call for help, nor give the other side any implication. Xiao Yao asked, “Where are you. I’m going to pick you up.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “Didn’t you say you were going abroad? I thought you were on the plane now.”
“The mission has been canceled. I went to your school but you were not there. Your classmates said you left at noon. Where are you? I’m going to pick you up.”
“I came to see Aunt Qiao. Now I’m on the way home. You don’t need to pick me up.”
Xiao Yao said, “Let’s have dinner together this evening.” Tang Xi hummed, said bye and hung up the phone. Lu Guangxiong asked coldly, “Who were you talking to on the phone?”
Tang Xi put the phone into her backpack, looked up at the vigilant Lu Guangxiong, smiled and raised her eyebrows. “Since you’re worried that I told something to others, why don’t you just send me home? Then everybody is happy.”
Lu Guangxiong scowled and stared coldly at her, saying harshly, “Send you home?! Then my company will be gone! Since Qiao Liang insists destroying my company that I cherish the most, then I’ll ruin his girlfriend! I’ll see whether he will choose to destroy me or save his girlfriend!”
Tang Xi knew she couldn’t physically resist Lu Guangxiong, so she raised her hands. “Ok, President Lu, since you insist on it, I won’t resist as long as you don’t hurt me.”
She couldn’t be injured again. Her body had protested to her.
Lu Guangxiong didn’t expect Tang Xi was so obedient, and thought she was probably planning something, so he said coldly, “If you dare play any tricks, I’ll kill you! I’ve lost everything anyway! If I kill you, Qiao Liang will regret it for the rest of his life!”
Tang Xi smiled and got in the car as if she was not being abducted. She took a look at Lu Guangxiong who was still standing outside and raised her eyebrows. “You act not like Qiao Liang’s father but like his mortal enemy. What you did to him is not what a father would do to his son and what Qiao Liang did to you is not what a son would do to his father. I can imagine how terribly you have hurt him.”
Lu Guangxiong’s face sank. He narrowed his eyes, got into the car, started it and said coldly, “It’s none of your business.”
“Ok, it’s none of my business indeed, but I’d like to remind you, President Lu, you should find out who I am before kidnapping me, in case you go for wool but come home shorn, right?” Tang Xi closed her eyes for a nap as she said. Suddenly something occurred to her. She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Guangxiong whose face was dark, saying with a smile, “By the way, President Lu, if you decide to release me, please stop at the second crossing of Champs Elysees Avenue. I have something to tend to over there.”
Lu Guangxiong had never seen such an arrogant hostage. Was she so sure that he would let her go? Tang Xi looked at Lu Guangxiong’s dark face in the rear-view mirror, and was glad that she helped Qiao Liang vent his anger.
Lu Guangxiong didn’t let Tang Xi go but took her to an abandoned factory. Tang Xi looked at the huge factory and smiled in her heart, saying, “Why must there be an abandoned plant in all kidnappings?”
Lu Guangxiong grabbed Tang Xi’s backpack and Tang Xi didn’t try to take it back. She knew once she fought back, she would definitely be injured. Before 008 told her the all-purpose skill could be activated, she’d better be obedient to him, in case he would hurt her.
Seeing Tang Xi so obedient, Lu Guangxiong snorted. She was merely a little girl. How could she not be afraid!
Tang Xi looked at Lu Guangxiong and felt sorry for Qiao Liang. In fact, Qiao Liang could easily put Lu Guangxiong in jail, but he didn’t, because he was waiting for Lu Guangxiong’s sincere apology, but unfortunately, the latter didn’t seem to regret anything at all.
Lu Guangxiong took out a rope and bound Tang Xi up. Tang Xi hurriedly said, “Hey, find a chair. I won’t be able to escape if you bind me to a chair. Be professional!”
She thought that I won’t be so tired if I have a chair to sit…
Lu Guangxiong didn’t know what she was thinking. He snorted and bound her to a big rusty steel pipe, threatening coldly, “You’d better not try any tricks. If Qiao Liang gives me two billion Yuan, I’ll let you go, or else I’ll inform him to collect your body.”
