On Qiao Yanze’s side.
Xiaojie was worried about Nan Zhi and wanted to Mu Sihan to inform him of the situation, but was stopped by Qiao Yanze.
Mu Sihan’s mental age was only that of a few years old now and calling him would only alarm the enemy and make him worried.
Qiao Yanze arrived at the resting room Nan Zhi was changing in.
The evening gown Nan Zhi was changing into originally had been thrown to the ground, while her phone and bag were left on the vanity table as well.
That meant that the person did not kidnap her for money.
Amongst those that could enter Yinghua Island, there were his guests he invited to attend his wedding, and the fishermen boats that came to bring food.
First, Qiao Yanze went to check the CCTVs.
But as he had expected, the recordings had been tampered with.
F*ck!
He ordered everyone to not leave the island, while dispatching his bodyguards to search around the island as well.
When Qiao Yanze started to search for Nan Zhi in a manic frenzy, Pei Xuan started to panic a little. He called Nan Yao to the side and muttered, “If he can’t find Nan Zhi, I don’t think Yanze will let us go easily.”
Nan Yao laughed without taking it seriously. “Darling, I think that you’re thinking too much. The guests here are all of a certain status, Young Master Qiao might not be able to keep them here even if he wanted to!”
Pei Xuan nodded thoughtfully. “What you said makes sense.”
Nan Yao took the chance to jump into Pei Xuan’s arms, whining coyly, “How are you planning to punish Nan Zhi that little b*tch?”
Of course, he was going to sleep with her!
Pei Xuan said that silently in his heart. He definitely wouldn’t tell Nan Yao that, so he said seriously instead, “Since Ye Sihan and her almost crippled my most important part that time, I naturally have to take good care of her!”
Nan Yao stared at Pei Xuan, roughly guessing what he meant by ‘taking good care of her’.
She really did not understand, what was so good about Nan Zhi? Why did all the men fight to get her?!
…
It had already been many hours, and Nan Zhi had been in that old, musty room for the entire afternoon.
It was cold.
Her stomach had been grumbling in hunger for a while, but she did not eat the steamed bun they had given her.
At night, there were no lights around. There were no electricity either, and it was completely dark.
Throughout the day, Nan Zhi had thought of many ways to get out of the ropes tying her down, but to no avail.
It seemed like she could only continue to wait.
When it was midnight, Nan Zhi was about to fall asleep when she heard some rattling.
She immediately opened her eyes and saw a figure standing in the dark.
“What are you doing?” According to his aura, Nan Zhi could tell that it was that boss’ lackey.
“Someone paid me to sleep with you.” The man rubbed his hands together, swallowing dryly at Nan Zhi in the dark.
A cold glint flashed in Nan Zhi’s eyes.
A person who would pay the kidnapper to sleep with her could only be Nan Yao.
If it was because of money, there was still something she could do.
“How much did that person pay you? I’ll give you double!” Nan Zhi’s mind immediately turned. Although she could not see the man clearly, she could still feel his eyes on her. “Aren’t you doing this for money? Once you’re rich, you can have any woman you want! You should know who I am as well. If you really slept with me, even if you can run to the other end of the world, my boyfriend and my family will never let you off!”
“I heard your boyfriend has become a retard, what can he do to me?” The kidnapper scoffed.
Nan Zhi did not argue with him. He was angry now, so it was not a wise choice to do so.
She could tell that he did not really want to rape her, if not, he would not speak so much either.
“Name a price. If you let go of me, I’ll give you any amount you want.”
The kidnapper scoffed once more. “Are you treating me as a fool? What if I let you go and you don’t pay me?”
“In that case, you can bring me to another place. I’ll get my men to bring you the ransom. At that point, the money will be yours and yours alone.”
The kidnapper was weighing the credibility of Nan Zhi’s words.
And Nan Zhi did not rush him. Her calm and cold aura made the kidnapper feel like taking the risk was worth it.
“Alright, I agree.”
Nan Zhi’s tensed heart relaxed, as she started to coax, “Help me untie my legs first.”
“You’d better not play any tricks.”
“I won’t.”
Believing Nan Zhi’s words, the kidnapper untied her legs.
Since she had not walked for a while, her blood circulation in her legs wasn’t very good, so when Nan Zhi stood up, her legs were so numb she felt like she lost all the feeling in them.
The kidnapper glanced outside once before he whispered to Nan Zhi, “Come with me and don’t make a sound. Be careful!”
Nan Zhi hummed in agreement.
The kidnapper led Nan Zhi out of that cold room. There was another room in the house, the boss of the kidnappers was lying on the bed while there were two more lackeys sleeping beside him.
All of them were wearing masks, so Nan Zhi could not properly see what they looked like.
Nan Zhi followed behind that kidnapper. Just as she was about to step out of the house, the boss suddenly shouted in anger, “Where the f*ck are you going?”
Nan Zhi bit her lip, her heart immediately rising up to her throat.
An indescribable fear swelled within her.
If the boss managed to find out that she was planning to run away, she would definitely be caught in a very tight situation!
Nan Zhi held onto her breath, staring at the boss for a few seconds.
Noting that he was not awake and was only dreaming, she hurriedly shook her head at the kidnapper who was planning to kneel down.
Seeing this, the kidnapper let out a breath of relief.
He brought Nan Zhi out of the house and Nan Zhi immediately realized that it was a fishing village.
Trees surrounded the hut that she was kept in.
Nan Zhi followed behind the kidnapper as they hurriedly ran out.
However, they had not run far when a furious voice roared suddenly. “Chase them! They’re over there!”
Seeing the boss chase after them with his other lackeys, the kidnapper trembled in fear. “It’s all because you tempted me, you b*tch. Damn it, Boss will definitely kill me after he’s caught up to us! No, I have to tie you back to repent for my mistake!”
They already come out, why would she let him tie her again? Did he think she was stupid?
Nan Zhi acted like she was extremely scared, looking up suddenly when the kidnapper approached her. She stammered in trepidation, “T-There’s a snake on the tree!”
The kidnapper glanced at the tree and Nan Zhi took the chance to lift her leg up and kick the kidnapper in the crotch ruthlessly.
“Argh!”
Making use of the chance the kidnapper was jumping on the spot while cupping his groin area, Nan Zhi hurriedly ran away.
When the boss caught up to the kidnapper who was sweating cold-sweat from the pain, he kicked him once more. “What the f*ck? You let her go? Were you tempted from her offer to give double the ransom and wanted to take it all for yourself? You piece of sh*t!”
After barking orders at another lackey to stay and watch the kidnapper, he led his other two lackeys to chase after Nan Zhi.
…
Qiao Yanze looked at all of the fishing boats that delivered goods to the island. When he found that one of the fishing boats was not the allocated deliverer, Qiao Yanze immediately looked into it once more.
Indeed, he found something in the end.
The boss of the fishing boat belonged to the mafia, and specialized in shady things like stealing and kidnapping.
Qiao Yanze managed to find that boss’ bank account had an extra two hundred million in cash recently. After tracing the IP address of who sent him the money, he found out that it belonged to the hotel in Yinghua Island.
The result of the investigation led to Pei Xuan’s room.
Qiao Yanze had suspected Pei Xuan from the beginning, but he could not do anything if Pei Xuan was not willing to admit it.
After confirming the instigator, he let the other guests leave, but kept the Pei family on the island.
