“Ning Qing, Ning Qing…”
Ning Qing heard someone calling her in the darkness and slowly opened her eyes.
Where was this?
Ning Qing looked around. It looked like a shabby little house.
She wanted to move but found herself unable because she was tied to a chair.
Ning Qing’s entire body was cold. She only had one thought. She had been kidnapped!
“Ning Qing.” Someone was calling her. Ning Qing looked sideways and realized that it was Song Yajing.
“Mom, why are you here too? Are you all right?”
Song Yajing was also tied to a chair. Her hair was messy, she was somewhat confused, and she no longer looked like a n.o.ble lady at all.
“I’m alright, Ning Qing. Are you all right? Does your stomach hurt?” Song Yajing looked nervously at Ning Qing’s protruding belly.
Ning Qing’s face was a little pale. She shook her head. “No it doesn’t, Mom. Don’t worry. Our little Master Lu is the strongest. We will survive.”
“Yes.” Song Yajing nodded.
At this time, laughter rang out, and a group of men in black walked over. At the front was the boss with a scar on his face. He applauded and laughed, “The scene of encouragement between you guys is really touching. I have never seen anyone who could be so calm after being kidnapped.”
Song Yajing was accustomed to all sorts of situations and did not panic under such circ.u.mstances. She looked at the boss and sneered, “Who are you? Who sent you to kidnap us? What’s your purpose? Money?”
“Of course we want money, do you think we’d just kidnap you for fun?”
The boss laughed with his men.
“Unfortunately, I’m afraid you’ll won’t have the life to spend the money after you’ve got it. You are so bold, daring to kidnap us. Do you know who we are? You dare to harm the Lu family members? I guarantee that you won’t be able to fly even with wings.”
“Hmph, won’t be able to fly with even with wings?” The boss pulled out a sharp knife and brought it to Song Yajing’s face. “You’re still so arrogant even though you’re in our hands. Do you believe that I could just disfigure your face now? The Lu family? There are so many Lu families in the world. How can I know which one you are talking about? Why don’t you say that you are the Empress Dowager Cixi, and we will kneel for you too? You think we are frightened?”
As he said that, the knife in the boss’s hand sliced towards Song Yajing’s face.
“Stop it!” Ning Qing quickly called out to stop him. She looked at the boss and laughed as she said, “If you want to get money in exchange for us, you’d better put your knife away.”
Now everyone’s eyes were trained on Ning Qing.
“Ning Qing!” Song Yajing shook her head secretly toward Ning Qing. She knew that Ning Qing had called out to divert everyone’s attention for fear that the boss would hurt her.
But Ning Qing had put herself in danger.
Ning Qing looked at Song Yajing with a soothing smile. “Mom, stop talking and agitating them. These people are desperate for money. It’s useless.”
“Tsk tsk…” They looked at Ning Qing’s small face carefully and laughed one after another. “Boss, I thought this was just a pregnant woman. I didn’t expect such a beautiful pregnant woman. We haven’t seen such a beautiful woman before.”
“That’s true.” One of the men could not help but touch Ning Qing’s small face. “Boss, look at how fair and smooth this woman’s skin is. Touching her must be very soul-stirring. This baby’s father really knows how to enjoy life. If it were us, we’d also be willing to die under the peony flowers, haha.”
These people uttered dirty words one after another. The boss walked up to Ning Qing, pinched her jaw, and forced her to look up. “She’s indeed a special thing. I’ve played with a lot of women in my life, but I haven’t played with such a beautiful… pregnant woman yet…”
When Song Yajing saw Ning Qing surrounded by these men, she was shocked. She shouted, “Stop touching my daughter-in-law. My son will not let you go when he arrives.”
The boss’s expression became fierce. He raised his hand and walked over immediately to slap Song Yajing.
“Stop it! Don’t touch my mom. Don’t you just want to play with me? We can always discuss it,” Ning Qing said calmly.
The boss laughed, withdrew his hand, and said, “Look, your daughter-in-law is so sensible. A wise person submits to their circ.u.mstances.”
The boss returned to Ning Qing’s side.
“Ning Qing!” Song Yajing cried out sadly as she looked at Ning Qing.
“Little Beauty, what do you think? Do you want to play with some of our buddies? I promise, as long as you make us feel good, we’ll show you mercy.”
“Hah.” Ning Qing smiled softly. “But what can you do? I’m a pregnant woman. If you touch me, I’ll bleed. Your employer doesn’t want to see blood right?”
The boss went stiff.
One of the men touched his chin and said, “Boss, this woman looks familiar.”
Ning Qing looked at the subordinate and gave him a praising look. “Good eyesight. Didn’t your employer tell you that my name is Ning Qing?”
The subordinate gasped. “My G.o.d, it’s Ning Qing, the New G.o.ddess in the entertainment industry. No wonder she felt so familiar. Boss, this woman is the most famous actress with the highest net worth in the entertainment industry now. She is also said to be married to a world-cla.s.s n.o.ble family, the Lu family…”
His words came to an abrupt end.
The crowd turned pale.
Ning Qing’s face was pale. She had ropes tied around her bulging stomach. She was not in pain, but it caused some breathing difficulties. She endured her discomfort and laughed. “Now that you know who my mother and I are. If you are smart enough, you shouldn’t waste time. Once you’ve received the money, let us go. To elaborate — if either my mom or I encounter an accident, you wouldn’t be able to escape even if you have wings. That’s no empty threat.”
His men were frightened by Ning Qing’s fierce momentum. “Boss, who on earth have we kidnapped? The Lu family are not to be provoked. What should we do about it?”
The boss kicked his subordinate heavily and blurted, “Watch them carefully. I’ll go make a call.”
