Chapter 17: Chapter 17 The Whole Family Sets Out to Find Little Wu! Chapter 17: Chapter 17 The Whole Family Sets Out to Find Little Wu! The van shook all the way as it drove towards the outskirts of the city. Qingwu noticed it was heading toward Qiao Xi Hospital; these kidnappers had even given her a free ride.
“Who sent you?”
The kidnappers chuckled lewdly, their faces full of malice.
“Little girl, we don’t want to hurt you either, but who told you to have an evil heart and covet things that don’t belong to you?”
“When we find a mountain area, we’ll toss you out. Don’t worry; we’ll make sure you never get out in this life!”
“Luckily, you’re pretty. This face could sell for thirty to fifty thousand in the mountains, and then you can bear a few big boys. How nice.”
Qingwu: “…”
She reached for the small knife tucked at her waist, quickly knocked out a few of the kidnappers beside her, and pressed the knife against the driver’s neck.
“Who sent you? Tell the truth. My patience is limited.”
The driver was so scared his hands trembled on the steering wheel, “Ah, ah, please spare me, lady knight. We’re just doing this for money. It was Madam Lin, Qian Yueqiang, who sent us! She gave us a hundred thousand to sell you anywhere in the mountains!”
Qian Yueqiang hadn’t said this girl actually knew martial arts!
Qingwu replied plainly, “Head to Qiao Xi Hospital.”
To the driver, her voice was like death sharpening its scythe. The steering wheel almost caught fire as he hurriedly drove her to Qiao Xi Hospital.
As soon as Qingwu got out of the car, she shouted to a few guards at the entrance, “They kidnapped me!”
She had been coming and going from Qiao Xi Hospital these past days, so the guards recognized her as the pretty granddaughter of the Chief Shen family who could also play chess.
The guards at Qiao Xi Hospital were all special forces soldiers from the army, stationed there regularly. Hearing Qingwu, they quickly stepped forward and subdued the criminals in no time.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Miss, please go in. The chief has been talking about you for a while now. Leave this to us!”
They had a high opinion of Qingwu: beautiful, polite, and well-educated, worthy of being the eldest lady of the Shen Family.
As soon as Qingwu walked into the ward, she heard Elder Shen’s strong voice, “Where’s my precious granddaughter? Didn’t you say she was already on the way?”
“Grandpa, have you taken your medicine today?”
Elder Shen’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw Qingwu!
“Come here, today your Grandfather Mu from Building Three wants to play chess with you.”
Upon hearing that, Qingwu knew Elder Shen hadn’t taken his medicine and was obviously trying to change the subject.
She gave a look to a few attendants, fetched the medicine Elder Shen had to take every day, and handed it over, “Grandpa, be good.”
Reluctantly, Elder Shen swallowed the medicine with a grimace, “Terrible! My dear granddaughter, why are you only here now?”
“I went to the mall this morning and had lunch with my eldest brother.”
Afraid that Elder Shen would worry, she didn’t mention the kidnapping.
She could handle what Qian Yueqiang had done on her own.
“What’s so good about having lunch with the eldest? Shopping is fine. My granddaughter, Shen Lisu, should dress beautifully. Later, Grandpa will send you some jewelry and trinkets as toys.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
Elder Shen took her hand enthusiastically and led her toward another ward, “Come on, let’s play chess with Grandpa!”
Back when they worked in the same unit, Old Man Mu often had him losing at chess. This time, he definitely had to regain some face!
After a few rounds, Elder Shen’s smile nearly overflowed the screen.
Heh heh, his granddaughter was amazing, won every round!
Old Man Mu, who was once the second-in-command in Hua Country, looked at the chessboard, his eyes full of admiration.
Watching chess was like reading a person. This granddaughter of the Shen Family was quite remarkable, and Elder Shen had really found a gem!
Old Man Mu chuckled, “Little Wu, if you ever have any trouble, come find Grandpa Mu. Grandpa will help you sort it out!”
Elder Shen was displeased, “Who asked for your help? I’m not dead yet!”
“Whether you die or not doesn’t matter. I’m more effective than you.”
“You old rascal! Qingwu, go play by yourself. I must have a showdown with this old man!”
Qingwu: “…”
She nodded, bowed to Old Man Mu, and walked out of the ward.
As soon as she stepped out, the smile on Qingwu’s face vanished, replaced by a chilling and murderous coldness.
She sensed the presence of an assassin.
It seemed the Blue Whale Sect’s assassin had already arrived!
Qingwu turned and entered the safety tunnel flashing with green lights, drew out a specially-made silenced handgun, and melted into the pitch-black darkness.
…
Shen Family Villa
As soon as Shen Yurou entered, she rushed toward Zuo Wanjun, who was busy watering flowers.
“Mom, something terrible happened. I saw Sister Qingwu being taken away!”
Zuo Wanjun was so shocked that the three-million-worth Jade kettle in her hand fell to the ground and shattered to pieces!
“What did you say?”
Shen Dongli heard the commotion and came out of the study with Shen Family’s four sons following him.
They had just been discussing which country to buy Qingwu a castle in when they heard Shen Yurou’s startling announcement!
“I saw Sister Qingwu get into a van. I was so scared I rushed back to tell you, and I’m worried something might happen to her! I even saw those people touching her…”
Zuo Wanjun almost fainted on the spot!
Shen Boyi, with a stern face, asked, “Where did you see this? Why didn’t you call us or the police first? What if something happened to Little Wu!”
Shen Yurou cried pitifully, “I was too scared. I fell on the way back, and my phone broke. I was worried about Sister, so I hurried back to tell you! It was three in the afternoon at the entrance of Changrong Mall.”
She cried as she showed her fractured phone and her bruised knee.
This was because she was too happy when she saw Qingwu in trouble and accidentally fell.
To give those thugs ample time to commit their crime, she even went shopping, ate, and had a full skincare treatment at Changrong Mall to be in her best condition to see Qingwu kicked out of the Shen Family!
Shen Zhongshuang picked up the phone to call the police.
Shen Jishi frowned and said, “It’s something that happened at three in the afternoon, and you’re only saying it now? What were you doing before?”
Shen Yurou wiped her tears and pitifully said, “What do you mean, Fourth Brother? Of course, I went to the hospital to take care of Grandma. Since Grandma was hospitalized, I’ve been looking after her, and Sister hasn’t visited Grandma even once…”
Shen Dongli shouted, “Everyone shut up! Now the whole family will go and find Little Wu!”
“Eldest, go check the mall’s surveillance; Second, seek the police; Third, drive along the route to find your sister; Fourth, come with me to the traffic police brigade! Little Wu suffered so much outside, and now something so major happened under Shen Family’s eyes. You four are all docked a year’s allowance!”
The Shen Family’s four sons responded gravely, “Yes!”
Qingwu stood at the door, watching the Shen Family’s four sons and Shen Dongli with solemn expressions.
“Dad, brothers, where are you all planning to go?”
Zuo Wanjun rushed forward like a gust of wind, embracing Qingwu.
“Honey, are you okay? Let Mom take a look; Yurou said she saw you get kidnapped. Mom was scared to death!”
While checking Qingwu from head to toe, ensuring not a single hair was out of place, Zuo Wanjun cried bitterly.
Qingwu hurried to wipe her tears.
“I’m fine. I did encounter kidnappers, but Grandpa sent people to save me, and the kidnappers have now been taken away.”
“Luckily, Elder Shen was sharp. If Mom lost you again, she wouldn’t live!”
Zuo Wanjun was highly emotional.
“I’m fine. I accompanied Grandpa for dinner before coming back.”
She took out her phone, showing a photo of her having dinner with Elder Shen.
Shen Yurou’s handkerchief nearly got torn to pieces.
“Sister, I was so worried! I saw those people even touching you. Are you really okay?”
Qingwu: “…”
Does she want the Shen Family to believe the kidnappers did something to her?
Couldn’t this method be just a bit more sophisticated?
“I’m fine.”
Shen Yurou concealed the resentment in her eyes.
Why! Qingwu, just a wild child who had just returned home, why would Elder Shen care so much about her?
After getting further acquainted, Elder Shen would realize that she was the granddaughter most suited for the Shen Family. Blood relation didn’t matter at all!
She was determined to drive Qingwu out of the Shen Family!
