Chapter 165 Kidnapped (2)
Chapter 165 Kidnapped (2)
Yan Zuozuo bit her lip, staring intently at the burly man who was getting closer and closer. She knew that she probably couldn't escape, but even so, he couldn't use her photo to threaten Chi Moqing.
If she dies, let's see who he can threaten!
The burly man tucked his gun into his pocket and reached out to tear Yan Zuozuo's clothes. However, before the clothes could be ripped, a pitiful scream rang out...
"what!"
A dazzling luxury car sped towards the hospital. Chi Moqing's face was grim, and his pace quickened. The doctor followed behind him, drenched in cold sweat. Without a word, the doctor immediately began preparing for the examination, but inwardly he was groaning. What was wrong with this CEO's wife? She was hospitalized every few days; their hearts were pounding with fear.
The doctor examined Yan Zuozuo's wound and found only superficial injuries, nothing else, which finally put Chi Moqing at ease. However, his complexion didn't improve; next up was dealing with those bastards.
Qi Jiahui sat on the sofa, restless. He couldn't get in touch with the people who kidnapped Yan Zuozuo. Had the kidnapping succeeded? Had he gotten the money from Chi Moqing?
His hands were clasped together nervously, and he didn't even hear Cai Keren calling him to eat.
"Jiahui, what's wrong? You've been fidgeting around." Cai Keren handed the chopsticks to Qi Jiahui, revealing a charming smile.
Qi Jiahui pursed his lips and remained silent. He picked up a couple of bites of food, then suddenly threw down his chopsticks. "What kind of food is this? Is it even fit for human consumption?"
Cai Keren was taken aback at first, then bit her lip and forced a smile, "What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
"I don't want to eat anything, and just seeing you annoys me!" Qi Jiahui felt increasingly uneasy, and his temper became more and more irritable. He didn't know what was wrong, but suddenly he swept his arm across the table, knocking everything off the floor.
The plates and bowls made a crisp shattering sound, clanging and banging for quite a while.
Cai Keren was terrified, thinking he was going to attack again. A look of fear flashed in her eyes, and she ran back to her room.
Qi Jiahui was furious. When he saw Cai Keren running upstairs, he grabbed her and started punching and kicking her. Cai Keren was, after all, a woman. She couldn't resist at all; Qi Jiahui pinned her to the ground, and she couldn't move an inch.
"I'll let you run, I'll let you run, you bitch!" Qi Jiahui cursed as he hit her. Cai Keren was dizzy from the beating, her ears were ringing, and her whole body felt like her bones were broken. She was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe.
Qi Jiahui had had enough of hitting her, and in frustration, he tried calling the people who had kidnapped Yan Zuozuo, but he couldn't get through.
Damn it, could something have happened? His heart skipped a beat, and he felt very uneasy.
Just then, the phone rang. It was Zheng Yuyan calling to ask how things were going.
Zheng Yuyan provided the money, and Qi Jiahui found the people. The two of them conspired together, and neither of them could escape!
Before Qi Jiahui could finish speaking, the police arrived at the door. His face changed drastically, and upon hearing the noise outside, he immediately jumped out of the window and fled. Since he was on the first floor, he escaped through the backyard.
Cai Keren also heard the noise. She forced herself to open the door and said weakly, "The window... he ran out the window..."
The police immediately went to chase after her, while the officers who remained called 120 (emergency services) and quickly took Cai Keren to the hospital.
When Cai Keren woke up, she was in the hospital with a terrible headache. She felt like all the bones in her body were broken, and even the slightest movement caused sharp pain.
She opened her eyes and saw her mother sitting lovingly by her bedside, wiping her body with a towel. She was taken aback, "Auntie?"
When Chi's mother saw that she was awake, she quickly asked, "Is anything bothering you? I'll call the doctor..."
"No need, I'm fine," Cai Keren said weakly. Looking around, she suddenly remembered the domestic violence she had suffered at the hands of Qi Jiahui. A wave of fear washed over her, and she asked abruptly, "Has Qi Jiahui been arrested?"
"He's been arrested, he's in jail now, don't worry," Chi's mother comforted her, sighing as she looked at her swollen face. She had received a lot of help from Cai Keren's mother when she was pregnant, and now that she was dead, she had to take good care of her. She hadn't known before, but now that she did, she naturally loved her like a daughter.
Upon hearing that Qi Jiahui had been arrested, Cai Keren suddenly burst into tears and hugged Chi's mother. She didn't speak, she just kept crying.
Seeing her like this, Chi's mother knew she had been wronged. She patted her body tenderly and said gently, "It's alright, don't cry."
Cai Keren cried for a long time before she could hold back her tears. She looked at Chi's mother with teary eyes and said, "I don't know what happened, but I heard Qi Jiahui on the phone talking about kidnapping... Auntie, could it be Zuo Zuo...?"
Suddenly, Chi's mother's face darkened, and she said angrily, "I knew that kid was no good, and now he even dares to kidnap Zuo Zuo. He'll get what's coming to him!"
Seeing Chi's mother like this, Cai Keren dared not imagine how furious Chi Moqing would become. He doted on Yan Zuozuo so much, she feared that Qi Jiahui was doomed this time.
To be honest, she did have feelings for Qi Jiahui, after all, they had been together for so long. If it weren't for his domestic violence, she would have loved to spend her life with him. Her jealousy of Yan Zuozuo was nothing more than jealousy of her happiness; ultimately, she just wanted a simple happiness. But now, she had nothing left.
After finishing her sentence, Chi's mother remembered Cai Keren's relationship with Qi Jiahui and frowned. "Keren, you're not going to plead for that kid, are you? Let me tell you, not only is Zuo Zuo so badly hurt, but I won't allow you to plead for him either, even for hitting you! Do you hear me?"
Cai Keren bit her lip, looking at Chi's mother with sorrowful eyes, "Then, how many years will he be sentenced to?"
Chi's mother snorted coldly, "It would be best if she were locked up for life." Then, she looked at Cai Keren with a complicated expression, "You still have feelings for her?"
Cai Keren was silent for a moment, then quietly shook her head and said with a wry smile, "I was just asking."
Mrs. Chi nodded, reached out and held her hand, saying, "Keren, although your mother is gone, you still have your aunt. I hope you are doing well and that you can be happy. Qi Jiahui is not good enough for you. Listen to me, forget about him, okay?"
Cai Keren glanced at Chi's mother and nodded vigorously. Although forgetting Qi Jiahui wasn't easy, she had truly loved him. Regardless of what Qi Jiahui thought, she had at least experienced sweetness and happiness. But she also knew very well that they had no future together, and even if she wanted to wait for him, she might not have the chance.
"Alright, you get some rest. Zuo Zuo is injured too, I'll go check on her," said Chi's mother, patting her hand.
Cai Keren nodded, and tears welled up in her eyes the moment Chi's mother closed the door.
In Qi Jiahui's apartment, Chi Moqing sat in a chair, and even the police chief stood respectfully to one side. Many well-equipped police officers were scattered in various corners of the room.
Chi Moqing abandoned her gentle demeanor towards Yan Zuozuo and looked coldly at the man kneeling on the ground in front of her.
After being captured, Qi Jiahui was completely desperate. The victor is king, the loser is villain; he had nothing to say about falling into Chi Moqing's hands. He could only say that Yan Zuozuo, that bitch, was lucky to have married such a man.
The police chief asked cautiously, "President Chi, what do you think we should do?"
Chi Moqing didn't rush to reply. He pursed his lips calmly and pondered for a moment before saying, "Director Tong, not everyone has arrived, has he?"
The police chief was taken aback, his heart pounding. "Ah, you mean Zheng Yuyan? Our people will bring her here soon; they've already gone to the airport to intercept her."
Chi Moqing remained silent, simply waiting quietly.
The apartment was eerily quiet. The more you have a knife to your throat but no one dares to lay a hand on you, the more agonizing it becomes. Qi Jiahui, who had been so cold and hard just moments before, was now filled with unease. Another ten minutes passed, but it felt like an eternity. His legs began to tremble, and his heart pounded wildly.
Finally, the apartment door was opened, and the police brought Zheng Yuyan in, followed by Fisher.
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow at him, her questioning tone intensifying.
Fisher chuckled: "I was originally planning to see my apprentice off at the airport, but I ended up here. I'll see what's going on."
When Zheng Yuyan saw Qi Jiahui, her face turned deathly pale, her legs went weak, and she almost knelt on the ground. With so many police officers present, especially in front of Fisher, she bit her lip and dared not utter a single word.
“Master Fisher should indeed take a look, so he can bear witness.” Chi Moqing didn’t waste any words and directly ordered the police to bring out the people who kidnapped Yan Zuozuo in front of Fisher. “Speak.”
The thug had never seen anything like it before—rows of police officers, all armed. Although he claimed to be involved in the underworld, he hadn't committed many crimes, mostly acting as a henchman. Seeing so many armed police officers, he was terrified and nearly wet himself.
He recounted in detail how Qi Jiahui had paid him to take explicit photos of Yan Zuozuo and then blackmailed him. After finishing, he knelt on the ground with a thud, sobbing uncontrollably, "Police uncles... no, no, no, police grandpas, I know that's all there is to it, I was wrong, I'll kowtow to you... please don't execute me..." He spoke with snot and tears streaming down his face.
Chi Moqing's eyes flashed like sharp swords as she looked at Qi Jiahui, who was already trembling with fear. Yet, he still forced a calm expression and said, "You have no evidence. How can you believe him based on just one side of the story? I didn't ask him to do that. I don't even know him..."
Clearly, after a long period of reflection and shock, Qi Jiahui gave in. He threw all notions of "the winner takes all" and "accepting defeat after a bet" to the back of his mind and began to fight desperately.
"You surnamed Qi, you dare to do it but not admit it? Are you even a man?" The thug was furious and pointed at his nose, cursing loudly.
Qi Jiahui insisted that he didn't know him and hadn't hired anyone to kidnap him. The assailant became enraged and lunged at him to beat him, but the police didn't stop him until they were tired of beating him. Qi Jiahui was left with bruises and swelling on his face, but the police acted as if they hadn't seen it.
Chi Moqing remained silent, but his gaze towards Qi Jiahui grew even colder. He took a leather bag from the table beside him and threw it directly in front of him, causing the photos and call logs inside to fall out.
There are photos of Qi Jiahui meeting with the criminals, as well as his phone records with the criminals, and even transfer records.
Qi Jiahui's face turned pale as he looked at these things. No matter how he tried to explain, it was no use. He gritted his teeth, squinted at Zheng Yuyan, and shouted, "She ordered me to do this. I didn't have any money. She gave me the commission."
Zheng Yuyan, who was already terrified, widened her eyes immediately upon hearing Qi Jiahui's accusation, "It wasn't me... I didn't..."
Chi Moqing's face turned cold: "Miss Zheng, is there nothing wrong? You didn't conspire with Qi Jiahui, or you didn't transfer the money?"
Zheng Yuyan was speechless. She turned her head away and said aggrievedly, "I didn't do anything. Qi Jiahui asked me for money... I don't know anything..." After saying that, she looked at Fisher pleadingly, "Master, you have to believe me. I really didn't do anything, I don't know anything... Master..."
Seeing Zheng Yuyan like this, Fisher was heartbroken. He looked at Chi Moqing, "President Chi, where's the evidence?"
