A prestigious girls' school, universally disliked, and me? I have a billion dollars - Chapter 70
“It is said that Huajiangyuan was built 23 years ago, but later construction workers died one after another, and the developer had to stop the project. It has been abandoned ever since. Many fans have left messages saying that they can hear children crying when they pass by here at night, and asked me to come and take a look.”
Looking at the camera, Liu Yao calmly analyzed, “In fact, these abandoned, unfinished buildings can easily become hideouts for criminals. They will deliberately make noise and spread rumors to frighten ordinary people so that they dare not approach.”
“Let’s go check tonight to see if there really is a child crying.”
âHost, what if there are really criminals involved?
âThe anchor is a world-class boxer; he could easily take on five opponents.
Liu Yao adjusted the camera angle so that viewers could see the background. “Don’t worry, if there are any bad guys, please call the police for me immediately.”
With a large following, her popularity skyrockets as soon as she starts a live stream, reaching a prominent position. If something really happens, she can be discovered and rescued immediately.
Before it got completely dark, Liu Yao wandered around the buildings for a while and finally chose a building with red ribbons fluttering by the windows.
“This building is decorated with red ribbons. If someone happens to see it while passing by at night, they might actually be startled.”
The development isn’t very large, and the buildings are scattered and interwoven, so you can see the empty buildings even when you’re just passing by on the street.
Liu Yao looked around and hung the camera on the steel bar. The camera was for recording images and could transmit them to her phone in real time.
“I’ll rest on this floor tonight.”
After Liu Yao wandered around for a while, it got completely dark.
The camera’s indicator light was off, and the only light in this drafty building was from her phone.
Liu Yao didn’t look at her phone for too long; she was getting sleepy.
Liu Yao took out her sleeping bag from her backpack and buried herself in it, the microphone clipped to her collar recording her voice.
“Fans, I’m going to take a nap first, and I’ll go out and wander around when I wake up in the middle of the night.”
Liu Yao closed her eyes, letting sleep wash over her.
Time passed little by little.
“Da da da”.
“Tap tap tap.” Heavy footsteps echoed from the empty corridor.
Liu Yao suddenly opened her eyes, her expression turning serious.
Someone is coming.
She tiptoed out of her sleeping bag, quickly rolled it up and stuffed it into her backpack, then hid behind a load-bearing pillar. The pillar was near the window; if she moved further back, she could fall directly from the building.
Liu Yao crouched carefully behind, her heart pounding like a drum.
“Da da da”.
“Da da da”.
“Will we be able to get out then?”
âLi Liu will pick us up in Qugang. We will then smuggle ourselves across the Li River to Ketlo, and then transfer to H Country. With such a large influence, our reach cannot extend overseas.â
“We must get the money tonight. If we don’t, we’ll kill them. We need to leave here before 3 a.m.”
“And the other one?”
“I just checked, and this woman is Fu Qing’s fiancĂ©e.”
“Tsk, kidnapping her is useless. She’s just a fiancĂ©e. If Fu Qing dies, he can find countless others.”
âMy investigation revealed that the people in that house were clearly Fu Qingâs daughter and Chu Yimingâs daughter.â
The footsteps grew louder, and so did the conversation.
The camera, mounted on the steel bars, clearly captured both the images and sounds, and broadcast them online in real time.
Liu Yao’s backend data was skyrocketing, but she didn’t dare to take out her phone to look at it for long.
âHoly crap!!! We actually ran into the streamer!!!
âHas anyone called the police?! A kidnapping has occurred!!
â!! Help!!! Fu Qing and Chu Yiming?! I can honestly say that if these two stomp their feet, the business world will tremble!
âDamn it! Don’t call the police yet!!! Don’t make too much of a commotion. Kidnappers usually don’t want the police to know about these kinds of kidnappings!!!
Liu Yao could only see inside by the moonlight, but then those people lit a small fire, which was enough for Liu Yao to see their faces clearly.
There were six people in total, two of whom were carried on his shoulders.
Liu Yao was sweating profusely, and could only breathe softly. Those people were actually holding the truth in their hands.
“Bang.”
As the body fell to the ground, Liu Yao’s fingers tightened instantly, and her heart seemed to plummet to the ground with the sound of the impact.
A hoarse cough sounded, and Liu Yao peeked inside with one eye, seeing a face that looked exceptionally pale in the dim firelight.
“Can this sickly woman really wait until her father brings the money?”
Chu Shiqing lay on the ground and slowly laughed: “Then you’ll have to wait another day.” Two million pounds isn’t a lot, but Chu Yiming’s time is precious. Someone as dispensable as her isn’t enough to make Chu Yiming rush to another city.
“My dad is a very busy man.”
Chu Shiqing’s calm and composed attitude angered the kidnappers, who ordered, “Beat her up and send her photos to her father.”
Two kidnappers began to approach her, but Chu Shiqing was not afraid. She turned her head to look at Tang Sui, who was huddled to the side, and asked, “Aren’t you a monster?”
Why don’t you run?
Tang Sui was in pain all over her body, her bones felt like they were about to crack, and her head felt like it was soaking in boiling water, but she was still somewhat conscious. She could vaguely sense Chu Shiqing’s presence and hear some conversations.
“Does this guy really think we’re joking?”
“Just kick her in the stomach and you’ll know if she’s joking or not.”
kick?
You can’t kick it; that’s her food, very weak food, it will get damaged if you kick it.
Tang Sui opened her eyes slightly and whispered, “No, kick her.”
Tang Sui’s cheeks burned red. She struggled to her feet, lay on top of Chu Shiqing, and closed her eyes again. “It will break.”
The kidnappers stared at Tang Sui’s flushed cheeks, their feet, which they had intended to kick together, simply wouldn’t lift.
“Forget it, let’s wait until 1 a.m. If they still haven’t arrived by then, we’ll just throw them off the building.” Anyway, they’re right on the edge of the building.
Has anyone replied to Fu Qing?
“She replied and said she would arrive as soon as possible. Don’t touch her.”
“Looks like the one I tied up along with is quite valuable.”
Tang Sui was still whispering, “Don’t kick her.” All her weight pressed down on Chu Shiqing, burning hot.
Chu Shiqing lowered her long eyelashes, remained silent for a moment, then gently raised her hand to embrace Tang Sui, her voice so low it seemed she could disappear at any moment, “Who do you take me for?”
Tang Sui couldn’t answer Chu Shiqing. The pain inside her body was becoming increasingly intense, as if something was trying to tear her flesh apart.
I really want to drink water.
Chu Shiqing chuckled and shifted her gaze to the moon by the window. Without the clouds obscuring it, the moon in the night sky was exceptionally bright.
He had dragged Tang Sui down with him, “Perfect, I can take her down with me even if I die.”
“Song Fanxing and the others will be devastated if they know you’re dead.”
Tang Sui didn’t say anything, just quietly lay on Chu Shiqing’s body, like a protective shield, firmly protecting Chu Shiqing beneath her.
Liu Yao, who was not far away, was looking around, trying to figure out how to subdue the four people in one fell swoop.
However, the surrounding environment and the weapons in the hands of the kidnappers left her helpless; going out rashly would only lead to her death.
As night deepened, the moon grew brighter and brighter.
The kidnappers waited for Fu Qing to arrive at midnight.
As soon as Fu Qing arrived, she saw Tang Sui lying on the ground, her face deathly pale.
The kidnapper chuckled coldly, pointed his gun at Tang Sui’s head, and said, “You didn’t call the police, did you?”
Fu Qing shook his head with a stern face: “I have brought the money. Please return the person to me.”
“Give them both back to me.”
Upon hearing Fu Qing’s words, the kidnapper’s eyes darted around, signaling Fu Qing to put the money aside first.
Fu Qing had his three assistants put the suitcases they were carrying aside, his eyes fixed on the gun pointed at Tang Sui’s head. “Here is four million pounds.”
One of the kidnappers opened the six boxes and looked at them carefully, confirming, “Sister Wang, they are indeed all genuine pounds, in 50 denominations. That should be enough.”
“Okay, you can leave with the money first.”
However, the sudden sound of police sirens made the woman called Sister Wang’s face darken.
One of the kidnappers shouted, “Damn it, we’ve been taken in!”
Liu Yao, who was hiding behind the pillar, suddenly changed her expression and remembered her camera hanging on the steel bar.
Could it be that her fans called the police?
The kidnappers knew that if the police came, they would have no chance of escaping.
Her eyes hardened, and she prepared to pull the trigger, but a sudden pain shot through her arm, and her hand holding the gun slipped.
Fu Qing’s assistants rushed forward instantly and subdued the other kidnappers.
The lead kidnapper glanced at his accomplice and laughed: “Since you can’t escape, you might as well say goodbye to your fiancĂ©e.” There were only two choices to begin with: life or death.
As he spoke, the kidnapper extended his other, still-intact hand, lifted Tang Sui, and brought her to the edge of the building. This was an unfinished floor with no railings underfoot, only endless darkness. A cold wind swirled dust in their faces, and they could vaguely hear the police sirens getting closer and closer downstairs.
Fu Qing’s pupils constricted sharply, her blood seemed to freeze instantly, and her breath caught in her throat. She stared intently at Tang Sui, who was dangling over the edge, and squeezed out a broken voice, “Let her go.” She hadn’t told anyone.
Tang Sui was still somewhat conscious, but her whole body was so weak she couldn’t muster any strength. She frowned, her long eyelashes trembling with exhaustion, her voice hoarse like sandpaper scraping, so low and soft it was almost inaudible: “I’m so…so thirsty…”
“I want to drink water…”
Her gaze swept vaguely around her, and fragmented images of her leaving the house with Chu Shiqing flashed through her mind. She subconsciously murmured, “Shiqing, I want… I want to drink water.”
Chu Shiqing, who had been lying on the ground with a calm expression, silently stood up from the cold cement floor after hearing Tang Sui’s voice.
