C40 (1/2)

Jiang Yu tried to restart the engine of the car. After a while, the car started to move, and he returned along the same road as before.

On the way back, he drove very slowly.

I opened the window and felt the evening breeze on my face and watched his profile.

Just then, my phone rang. I looked down, and saw that it was Zhou Zijin calling.

”Hey …”

”Where are you, Xiao Ye?! Are you all right? ”Are you alright?!”

Zhou Zijin's voice sounded urgent, and I immediately comforted him. ”I'm fine, I'm on my way home now.”

Saying that, he exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up the phone.

I looked at the number of missed calls and unread messages on my cell phone.

Tang Yue continuously texted me, and I opened the dialog box.

When she heard from Zhou Zijin that I was being held hostage, she became extremely anxious. They immediately called the police and they tried to search for traces of me, but to no avail.

I replied Tang Yue with a message, telling him not to worry.

After calming the emotions of the people around me, I no longer had the mood to enjoy the night scenery.

Jiang Yu walked me home. Just as I opened the door, I found Zhou Zijin sitting on the sofa, with a solemn look on his face.

I felt a little guilty, but Jiang Yu casually pulled my hand and walked in.

”Where did you go?” I could hear the suppressed anger in Zhou Zijin's voice.

”Not anywhere.”

In the face of Zhou Zijin's gaze, I unnaturally turned my head to the side.

His eyes wandered between Jiang Yu and I, my entire body feeling uncomfortable from his gaze.

Jiang Yu couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead to hold me behind him.

”It's also between her and me, so it has nothing to do with you.”

I pulled on Jiang Yu's clothes, not wanting him to get into a conflict with Zhou Zijin.

He looked back at me, his expression icy.

After a while, a few police like people came to my house, and I was just wondering, they directly cuffed Jiang Yu's hands.

”What is he doing!?” I frowned.

After all, this is my house. I can't get happy when someone barges in for no reason.

”I'm doing this for your safety.”

As Zhou Zijin said this, he stood up from the sofa and spoke to the two police gentlemen who were lying on the bed, ”Comrade policemen, sorry to trouble you two.”

Jiang Yu glared at Zhou Zijin, but Zhou Zijin did not give him the chance to speak.

I watched as Jiang Yu was stuffed into the police car. Then, I turned around and asked Zhou Zijin loudly.

”Why did you call the police?!”

However, Zhou Zijin said neither arrogantly nor slowly, ”Xiao Ye, I am thinking for your safety.”

He put his hand on my shoulder.

”If he can hold you hostage in public today, then what about tomorrow? A person like him, who knows what kind of things he would do behind his back! ”

I lowered my head, not knowing how to argue. I knew that Zhou Zijin was doing it for my own good.

”I did it on purpose.”

I said indifferently, to make him understand that my kidnapping had nothing to do with Jiang Yu.
