43 Kidnapped (1/2)

Even though Zixi tried to fight with the group of thugs but the old adage that a pair of fists is no match for four hands still proved to be true. Very soon he ran out of energy and both of them were tied up, thrown into the van like rucksacks by the kidnappers and brought along.

Su Li realised that the kidnappers still hadn't taken her phone away from her which was in her back - pocket. This gave her an idea. She tried to subtly move her hands and somehow took out her phone. A few people were on her speed - dial list so she tried to guess and call Yu Jian. She knew he would pick up her call regardless of what he was doing and act accordingly. Therefore, she tried to give him as much information as she could.

”Who are you people? Why does your boss wants to meet me?”

Su Li hadn't realised but she had dialled the wrong number. Instead of Yu Jian, she had called Li Rong.

Li Rong was working in the office when he recieved Yueyue's call. He immediately picked it up. ”Hello! Princess ”

Before he could utter anything else he heard Yueyue's voice asking those questions. He immediately realised that things didn't seem to be right and that be had to listen carefully to what was going on at the other end.

”Where are you taking us? Do you guys want money? If you let both of us go, Yu family will give that to you. Okay?”

The leader of the kidnappers replied, ”Let you go? Miss, if we let you go then how are we to report back to our boss?”

As soon as he finished his words, he turned back his head to the front and didn't pay attention to the girl. Su Li also understood that saying anything further wasn't conductive to her plan since that might tip these people off to what she was trying to do so she decisively stopped speaking and cut off the phone.

Li Rong had listened to the exchange carefully and from Yueyue's words he could comprehend that she and one of her close - sides either Mo Qing or Xun Zixi was with her. With Yueyue's routine, he could guess that most probably it was Zixi. When he heard the beep of the line disconnecting, he knew he didn't have much time to waste on irrelevant thoughts and that he should immediately start trying to locate the both of them. He left the office, contacted his own people and asked them to trace her call.

Simultaneously, on the other end, Su Li and Zixi were brought to a warehouse. Those people threw them inside and just left after locking the giant doors of the warehouse from outside.Su Li tried shouting for help for sometime but to no avail.

”Take a rest, Miss. Don't waste your energy anymore. It's futile. I don't think there is anybody nearby who would help us.” Zixi told Su Li.

Su Li turned towards him and when she saw his left leg bleeding, she felt guilty towards Zixi who had been inadvertently dragged into this mess because of her.

”Is your leg okay?” she questioned him.
