Chapter 592
C592 – Big Blunder
The mahjong players inside the house were getting into their game when they noticed an eerie silence at the door. Growing irritated, one of them exclaimed, “Damn it, Old Dog! Have you no honor? Sneaking the delivery food and eating it all by yourself?”
One player stood up and pushed against the door. “Huh?” He couldn’t get it open; something seemed to be blocking it from the other side. “Son of a gun, Old Dog! Did you really stoop so low just to hog it all to yourself?”
”It’s gotta be something good for him to keep it all to himself like that,” another chimed in.
“Exactly! Let’s get this door open, guys!” The excitement from the mahjong game spilled over as they all stood up to force the door open.
After a struggle, the door swung open, leaving them all dumbfounded. They stood frozen at the threshold, rubbing their eyes in disbelief. Were they still half-asleep, or seeing things?
“Uh… maybe we should just go back to playing mahjong?” one suggested.
“Yeah, let’s not drink too much next time. It’s messing with our vision,” another agreed.
”Mm-hmm,” they all murmured, smiling awkwardly before turning back in unison, falling silent.
”Holy crap! You all see it too?!” The realization hit them—it wasn’t a hallucination. It was actually happening!
“Where’s Old Dog? Where the hell did he go?”
”Hurry up!” Suddenly sober, they rushed out the door.
The scene that greeted them in the hall was chaotic. Shattered glass bottles, broken tables, and tea leaves strewn everywhere. And there was Old Dog, now resembling a beaten dog, tied up with a bruised face.
“Finally, you come out! You damn fools! I’ve been calling for you, and you didn’t respond…” Old Dog was on the verge of tears.
[Are you all deaf? I’ve been shouting until my throat is raw, and you don’t hear?]
“Old Dog? What happened to you? Speak up, man!”
“Old Dog, why are you silent? Can’t you speak?”
“Did they knock some sense out of you? Why are you mute?”
They crowded around him, full of concern.
”I…,” Old Dog was so frustrated he felt like spitting blood. [You really can’t hear me? If this is some act, it’s way too convincing. It’s over the top.]
But why can he hear me when I speak, yet my friends can’t?
Old Dog’s mind was racing, but he couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation.
“Holy shit! The woman’s gone!”
“What?! This is it… we’re screwed!”
“I told you guys her background wasn’t simple, but you had to mess with her, didn’t you?”
“Damn, what’s the use of talking about it now? Let’s get out of here!”
They rushed into the adjacent bedroom, only to be petrified upon discovering that Xiao Ke’er had vanished.
“Freeze, hands up!”
“Everyone on the ground!”
Just then, the police burst in and subdued them all.
”Name!” a police officer demanded, pinning Old Dog down.
“I’m Wang Ergou!”
“Your name, speak!”
“I told you, I’m Wang Ergou!”
“Don’t you know you’re better off confessing than resisting? You’re caught, there’s no point in hiding. What’s your name?”
“Officer, I swear, my name is Wang Ergou!”
Old Dog was on the verge of a breakdown.
I’ll never commit a crime again. This is too bizarre. What in the world is going on? Could this be divine retribution?
Xiao Ke’er’s rescue brought immense joy to her family.
They were profoundly thankful to Su Ming.
Once seated inside the house, they inquired about the ordeal Xiao Ke’er had been through.
It turned out that just yesterday morning, Xiao Ke’er had gone out for breakfast alone.
Somehow, she passed out after eating and woke up to find herself locked in a room.
Currently, Xiao Ke’er was clueless about who was responsible or what exactly had happened.
“It’s okay, no need to panic. The police are on it, and we’ll soon find out who’s behind this,” they reassured her.
Su Ming’s eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint within them.
Damn it!
Whoever the hell dared to mess with my woman is going to regret it. I’ll show them why the flowers are so brilliantly red!
The police soon updated them with new information.
It was a colossal misunderstanding.
As it turned out, the eldest daughter of the Li family, another of the city’s prominent families, was starkly different from Xiao Ke’er.
Since childhood, Miss Li had always been headstrong and resistant to her parents’ guidance. Despite her status as a young lady of nobility, she often dressed like a wild child!
Following a recent heated argument with her parents, she took off.
Her parents, frantic with worry, immediately began searching for her.
This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.
Miss Li’s parents had been through this before. They knew that even if their daughter ran away, she wouldn’t leave Beijing.
She would need somewhere to stay and eat.
They reached out to numerous hotels and restaurants with a plan: if you come across my daughter, slip this into her food, knock her out, and bring her back.
As it happened, Xiao Ke’er decided to grab breakfast that day.
The young shop assistant, who had been briefed on the situation, had a poor memory and blurry vision but remembered the girl was exceptionally beautiful.
Upon seeing Xiao Ke’er, he mistook her for the runaway and drugged her food.
After she was incapacitated, he called his brothers to take her away.
The Li family was known for their wealth, after all.
His brothers, elated by the prospect of a hefty reward, loaded her into the car. But upon closer inspection, they realized their blunder!
If they had simply awakened Xiao Ke’er or reported the mix-up to the police, it would have been a minor misunderstanding.
But they didn’t.
Captivated by Xiao Ke’er’s beauty and figure, they thought she would appeal to wealthy tycoons.
They took her to their hideout and reached out to several magnates.
The tycoons were initially thrilled at the prospect of a “good catch,” but they were terrified when they saw Xiao Ke’er’s photo.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
My goodness.
Not even with a hundred times the courage would we dare!
This was the young Miss of the Xiao family!
Were we out of our minds or still half asleep? Did we wish for our lives to be cut short?
If we dared lay a finger on her…
We might as well vanish from the earth!
The kidnappers were utterly bewildered.
What’s happening here? Business is usually booming. With her beauty, she should quickly catch the eye of some wealthy tycoon. How come there’s been no response after reaching out?
They huddled together for a meeting.
It was unbearable; he couldn’t hold back any longer and confronted them.
[How could you be so bold as to mess with this young lady?]
Startled, they quickly did an online search and were almost scared out of their minds!
