C39 (1/2)

Lu Juyan drove the car onto the busy street, while Du Ruqing sat by his side. His gaze shifted to the window as he tried to find any trace of Qu Yan Shi. After all, no one knew if the other party would start searching for him due to his unease towards Yuan Wei.

It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate encounter, but at the next corner, Du Liqing saw Qu Yan who was walking hurriedly by the side of the road. Her face was covered with tears. Her hair was messy due to the cold wind, making her look extremely pathetic.

”Please stop at the roadside in front and study.”

Du Ruqing turned her head to look at Qu Yan's back and saw that she had stopped because of the traffic light. She could not help but feel some heartache. He set his gaze on Lu Juyan and slowly opened his mouth to beg as he pointed at the path ahead.

Following Du Liqing's line of sight, Lu Juyan also noticed where Qu Yan was. He obediently parked his car in front of a parking place and unlocked the door for Du Liqing to get off first.

After she closed the door, she started to reverse the car into the parking space. She moved very quickly, and ran towards the two women immediately after she parked the car.

”Research, wait!” When Du Liqing caught up to her, Qu Yan Shi was on the verge of running away. This made her subconsciously shout out the other party's name in an attempt to stop them from leaving.

Qu Yan Shi turned around and looked at Du Liqing. Tears that had originally been dried by the wind suddenly flowed out and fell onto her face, making her look extremely pitiful.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qu Yan Shi leaped onto Du Ruqing's body, hugging her tightly. Tears rolled down her face and fell onto her shoulders, causing her to unconsciously feel a kind of heartache for Qu Yanzhi. He reached out and patted the other party's back, trying to calm him down.

Before long, Lu Juyan walked up and stood beside the two women. He noticed that many people were looking over at him and didn't seem to care at all.

”Qing, I beg you, please save Yuan Wei!” Suddenly, Qu Yan Shi seemed to have thought of something, and immediately stood up from Du Ruqing's embrace, and spoke to the others in a choked voice.

”What happened?”

Du Ruqing, who did not know the truth, was shocked, but when he saw the sad look on Qu Yan Shi's face, he consciously took out the tissue in his bag. Pulling someone to a wooden chair on the side of the street, he carefully wiped them off and subconsciously asked about what had happened.

Lu Juyan, who was standing at the side, naturally couldn't interrupt the two girls' conversation. He silently waited for Qu Yanzhi to speak, but he only saw that he was gulping down his saliva. The words in her mouth seemed to be unable to come out, causing Du Liqing to repeatedly ask.

”A group of people kidnapped Yuan Wei and asked you to redeem him.”

After being questioned for a long time, Qu Yanzhi was still unable to think of what to say. If it wasn't for Du Ruqing's reminder, she probably would have been unwilling to say anything more. In a helpless situation, he mumbled something.

All of a sudden, Qu Yan had a fear that her close friends would be lost and the people she loved would leave her.

”How much is the ransom?” Lu Juyan's brow creased slightly as he listened to what had happened. He also felt that it was a bit odd.

Why must it be her?

The complaint in his heart made Lu Juyan feel even weirder, and even the expression on his face when looking at Qu Yan grew a little more complicated.
