Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce
Chapter 423 - 423 Zecheng's Protection423 Zecheng’s Protection
“Where is it?” the criminal interrogated.
Qiao An said, “It’s with my husband.”
But the kidnapper handed over an old cell phone and handed it to Qiao An. “Call your man. Do as I say.”
Qiao An was still calm. After all, she had been in the demon cave once. She called Huo Xiaoran.
After the call was picked up, her mind raced. How could she provide key information to Huo Xiaoran?
The kidnapper only allowed her to ask about his list. “Hubby, I’m An’an.”
On the other end, Huo Xiaoran received Qiao An’s call and was overjoyed.
“An’an, where are you?”
“I… Hubby, don’t worry about me. Ze’en and I are having a barbecue outside. By the way, do you remember what I gave you?” She glanced at the hint from the criminal. “Send it to this phone number.”
In order to ensure Qiao An’s safety, Huo Xiaoran deliberately stalled for time. “An’an, Hubby is outside. I’ll go back and get it later. However, you must remember to keep your phone on. I’ll confirm it with you before I send it to you.”
Huo Xiaoran suddenly said, “Honey, I love you.”
“Yes, I know.” Qiao An’s voice was a little hoarse. Brother Xiaoran didn’t seem to know that she was already in danger.
Huo Xiaoran said, “Promise me that you will accompany me until my hair turns white.”
Qiao An was stunned for a moment before realizing that he knew. She choked. “Okay.”
The kidnappers took the phone away and turned it off.
Qiao An glared angrily at the kidnapper and sneered. “I advise you to let us go quickly because my husband has already called the police. The police will find us here soon.”
The kidnapper slapped Qiao An. “Who are you fooling? Didn’t you call him just now? He didn’t realize that you had been kidnapped at all. You’re still counting on him to call the police. Let me tell you the truth. Our order this time is to get rid of you within twenty-four hours. When the time comes, your husband won’t be able to save you.”
When Li Zecheng and the others heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
Logically speaking, one could only report a missing person after 24 hours, but the other party had never thought of letting them live for 24 hours.
What should they do?
Qiao An was dizzy from the beating, but it triggered her defense mechanism. “Kill me if you have the guts. See if my husband will give you the list. If he can’t hear my voice, he’ll never send the list.”
The kidnappers hated disobedient hostages like Qiao An the most. They hit her even more fiercely.
Li Zecheng couldn’t stand it anymore. He shielded Qiao An and scolded the kidnapper, “She’s just a weak woman. Hit me if you want.”
The kidnapper’s fist shifted to Li Zecheng. “If you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish.”
Qiao An felt extremely guilty when she saw Li Zecheng being beaten up.
However, Li Zecheng looked at her steadily and comforted her. “Qiao An, I didn’t protect you well in the past. This time, I’ll make it up to you.”
Tears streamed down Qiao An’s face.
“Why are you doing this? They won’t let me off, but they probably won’t make things difficult for you. You took a beating for me for nothing.”
Li Zecheng said, “Qiao An, how can you be so kind and brave? You’re still thinking for others at a time like this. Let me tell you, even if I die for you, it’s my fault.”
After an unknown period of time, the violent kidnapper was tired. Coincidentally, someone came in to call him for dinner, so he left cursing.
Li Ze’en and Huang Yushu cried when they saw Li Zecheng covered in injuries.
Huang Yushu said, “In my life, I thought that those immoral mistresses were the most heinous. It turns out that there are people more inhumane than them in this world.”
Qiao An found joy in her misery. “Third Sister-in-law, if you’ve walked in hell once, you’ll become like me, open-minded and brave. I think you can easily forgive Ze’en’s stepmother. But some people’s faults are outrageous.”
Huang Yushu looked at Qiao An and realized that Qiao An had experienced such a terrifying nightmare.
She wasn’t as brave as Qiao An. She hoped to be saved. “Qiao An, did Xiaoran call the police or not?”
Li Ze’en was pessimistic and desperate. “Mom, didn’t you hear from the kidnappers? The missing person case can only be reported to the police after 24 hours. Who would have thought that something had happened to us? A day later, we might all die.”
Huang Yushu cried bitterly. “This world is really unfair. Although I, Huang Yushu, have a bad temper and am not tolerant enough of my daughter-in-law, I have never done anything evil. Why do the heavens want me to have no descendants?”
Qiao An didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Third Sister-in-law, don’t talk nonsense. Li Zecheng and Li Ze’en aren’t dead yet.”
Huang Yushu said in despair, “Isn’t it almost time?”
Qiao An looked at them and reminded them solemnly, “I know you haven’t faced such a scene before, so you’re afraid. But if you want to live, you have to stay absolutely calm. Listen to me. We have to delay the kidnappers from dealing with us and not give them any useful information. Physical beatings and mental torture are inevitable. But if the kidnappers don’t get what they want, they won’t kill us easily. We have to delay until the police save us.”
Huang Yushu and the others nodded with difficulty.
Ze’en only asked, “Qiao An, will Uncle come and save us?”
Qiao An glanced at Li Zecheng and didn’t say anything.
When she was kidnapped, she definitely believed that Li Zecheng would come to save her. However, the truth disappointed her. He came late for his new lover.
Qiao An said, “I don’t know. I once trusted your brother enthusiastically. In the end, I lost completely. Now, I’m unwilling to trust someone enthusiastically again… I’m afraid I’ll be disappointed again.”
Li Zecheng felt very guilty when he heard Qiao An’s words.
“Qiao An, I’m sorry. I was too confused back then. I didn’t know that being kidnapped was so traumatic.”
Qiao An rolled her eyes at him. “I’m thinking about your situation today. Is this retribution from the heavens?”
Li Zecheng smiled bitterly. “Yes. This is my retribution.”
Qiao An saw that his face was covered in blood and sighed weakly.
“Li Zecheng, I don’t hate you anymore.”
At this moment, the door opened and they looked in the direction of the voice.
A well-dressed man wearing sunglasses walked over leisurely.
He exuded a handsome aura. If they hadn’t met in this evil place, Qiao An would never have been able to associate him with bad people.
“Are you Qiao An?” When he spoke, his voice was especially low and mellow; it exuded an aura of power.
“Yes.” Qiao An looked at him steadily.
The man took off his sunglasses. When Qiao An saw his face, she felt a sense of déjà vu.
