Chapter 654 - 684: Offended Someone

If she weren’t pregnant, Qin Jiao could have put up a fight, but if she struggled now, she might hurt the baby.

Xiao Shi might get hurt, too.

She said, "Fine, I’ll go with you."

’I’ll have Xiao Shi leave first to get help.’

However, the men had clearly anticipated this. One of them gestured with the fruit knife in his hand and said, "No. Both of you get in the car. As long as you cooperate, we won’t hurt you."

Qin Jiao squeezed Xiao Shi’s hand, giving her a look, then nodded and said, "Then keep that knife away from us. We’re scared."

She was pregnant, her belly showing, and gorgeous. When she showed such weakness, the men actually put the knife away.

After they got into the small van, the smell of raw meat, likely from a previous load of pork, made Qin Jiao feel nauseated.

Xiao Shi was staying relatively calm. She looked at Qin Jiao and whispered, "Sis..."

"We’ll play it by ear."

The reason Qin Jiao could remain calm was her trump card: the pocket dimension. If they ran into a danger she couldn’t handle, she could take Xiao Shi into the dimension with her.

Therefore, this wasn’t the right time for a confrontation.

A moment later, both of them were blindfolded with black cloth. Though nothing had happened yet, the blindfolded Qin Jiao heard one of the men say, "Damn, I didn’t expect this woman to be so beautiful!"

"The younger one’s not bad either, just a bit skinny. Too young."

Qin Jiao clenched her fists.

Including the driver, there were three men in total. One of them, who seemed to be their leader, berated the others in a low voice, "Both of you, shut up. We’re just responsible for getting them there. Don’t go trying anything else; if something goes wrong, it’ll be a mess to clean up! Stop your drooling. Once we get the money, you can have any kind of woman you want!"

The other two fell silent.

Realizing they were after money, Qin Jiao decided to test the waters. "Are you doing this for money? Name a price. I can contact my family to give it to you."

’As a celebrity with growing wealth, it’s possible to encounter something like this.’

What Qin Jiao hadn’t expected was for them to be so bold as to kidnap her right near her own neighborhood.

Seeing that Qin Jiao was being cooperative, and since she was pregnant, the leader was a bit more polite.

He said, "You’ve offended someone. When you see them, you’ll have to figure out how to solve it yourself. We’re just responsible for bringing you to them. We don’t get involved in anything else."

’Offended someone?’

Qin Jiao thought hard. While she did run two companies and had her share of conflicts—business is a battlefield, after all.

But she really hadn’t offended anyone to the point where they would risk breaking the law and resort to kidnapping.

If they were simply after money, they would have called Shen Yi for a ransom by now.

But judging by what the man had said, that wasn’t the case. Someone obviously wanted to see her, and there would probably be some sort of negotiation.

In the darkness, her thoughts were amplified, and Qin Jiao suddenly thought of someone.

Lin Nian.

That woman seemed to harbor an infinite, almost innate, malice toward her. Of course, Qin Jiao loathed her in return and had even hoped back when Xiao Shi was abducted that Lin Nian would get a longer prison sentence.

’Could Lin Nian be behind this?’

’If so, what would be her motive?’

Qin Jiao’s guess was just about right. The moment she arrived at her destination and saw Lu Jiuan standing before her, she suddenly understood everything.

Every time Lu Jiuan saw Qin Jiao, he was stunned. More importantly, this woman was simply too perfect.

But what a pity that she wasn’t his.
