Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Kneeling

There has been no news about Tao Ning for seven days, and Xu Jun has hardly slept for seven days, with a total sleep time of no more than ten hours. He goes to the police station every day, but the reply he gets every time is that "Tao Ning's disappearance has nothing to do with Zhao Jingqun."

Xu Jun said coldly, "Have you conducted an in-depth investigation? Do you know all the information about the real estate under his name? Have you investigated the employees in his company?"

This was also the first time the police encountered someone who was not related to the victim but was so concerned about him. They said sternly, "We understand that you and the victim were roommates and that you care about him, but please also understand our job. We will not let go of any information related to the case."

Xu Jun pursed his lips, "Sorry."

He knew that he was too impatient, and sometimes even doubted whether his judgment was wrong, but Xu Jun did not dare to think that this judgment was wrong, because he would rather Tao Ning was taken away by Zhao Jingqun, and he could not imagine what kind of suffering Tao Ning would suffer at the hands of others.

The longer time passed, the more precarious Xu Jun's sanity became, especially the day after he lost track of Tao Ning, when Xu Jun met Zhao Jingqun in the police station.

Zhao Jingqun was wearing a casual T-shirt, but no matter how casual the clothes were, they could not hide his unruly aura. However, his somewhat bandit-like face was covered with heavy dark circles, and there were bloodshot in his eyeballs. He had no expression at all and looked full of murderous intent.

Compared to the last time he saw Tao Ning's ex-boyfriend at the school gate, who was brought to Haizhou by him personally, Xu Jun's heart was filled with resentment and jealousy. This time, Xu Jun couldn't even control his expression.

Rushing over to block Zhao Jingqun's way, he coldly asked, "What on earth do you want to do to Tao Ning?"

The chief of the police station was right next to Zhao Jingqun at the time. He was afraid that Zhao Jingqun would withdraw his investment in Haizhou in a fit of anger at this young man who suddenly blocked his way, so he winked at the policeman next to him. Some policemen wanted to take Xu Jun away, but Zhao Jingqun raised his hand and the others stopped moving.

The director broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that the God of Wealth would start a fight with the young man if they disagreed. If that happened, he would be embarrassed to take sides, and his investment would be ruined. But what the director didn't expect was that the God of Wealth, who had been expressionless since entering the police station, actually smiled.

Zhao Jingqun put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked down at Xu Jun. Seeing Xu Jun's seemingly indifferent but actually tense face, his heart was almost filled with malice and murderous intent, but it only showed on his face. He just smiled.

Walking down the stairs step by step, Zhao Jingqun smiled and said in a voice that only Xu Jun could hear: "Kneel down and kowtow to me, and I will tell you."

Because they were some distance apart, the director couldn't hear their conversation clearly. Fearing that they would start fighting, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Zhao Jingqun to leave. Unexpectedly, before he got close, something surprising happened. He saw the young man in front of Zhao Jingqun kneeling down with a cold face.

hiss--

Not only did the director gasp, but the others also widened their eyes.

Xu Jun didn't care about other people's eyes at all, and knelt straight down with a cold face. It is said that a man's knees are as precious as gold. At that moment, no one knew why he did this, and no one could understand his thoughts, except Zhao Jingqun.

The acid of jealousy had completely engulfed Zhao Jingqun, soaking every inch of his skin, until even his skin and bones peeled off. It took everything in Zhao Jingqun's power to avoid killing Xu Jun in public, the thought that besides himself, there was someone else who also deeply loved Tao Ning, and that they not only had common topics but had also been closely connected.

Now, even for Tao Ning, he kneeled down to him without even caring about his face.

Just thinking about it made Zhao Jingqun jealous. He stood there for an unknown amount of time before giving a twisted laugh. He turned and left without paying any attention to Xu Jun or explaining to the director.

Since then, Xu Jun never saw Zhao Jingqun again. Having lost the only way to get news about Tao Ning, Xu Jun began to mobilize all his connections to look for her, even including Song Yucong. However, Song Yucong was deeply constrained by the family business and was busy looking for Tao Ning, but still no news.

Song Yucong smashed everything in the box in front of Xu Jun and glared at him fiercely: "It's all your fault, you incompetent thing! You let Tao Ning get kidnapped in public, are you a loser?!"

These words pierced Xu Jun's heart like a thorn. Regret and pain flashed in his eyes, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "...Any news?"

"No!" Song Yucong punched the wall, his face showing unconcealable worry. "I have contacted the best private detective and sent all the bodyguards out to look for her, but there is still no news about Tao Ning." But he didn't say that the Song company was also attacked during this period.

Song Yucong was afraid that he had offended someone, so that person kidnapped Tao Ning in order to take revenge on him. Whenever he thought of this possibility, Song Yucong turned pale and trembled physically.

"You should check Zhao Jingqun." Xu Jun said coldly.

"Didn't Zhao Jingqun clear himself of suspicion? Tao Ning said Zhao Jingqun is his cousin..." Song Yucong's face gradually turned pale. Even though he had the answer in his heart, he still couldn't believe it. "Zhao Jingqun also told me that he has a wife."

Xu Jun looked at him expressionlessly, "You've been deceived. Zhao Jingqun is Tao Ning's ex-boyfriend."

"You...what the hell did you say?! Come back! Xu Jun, explain it to me clearly!"

After trying all possible methods, Xu Jun began to personally investigate information related to Zhao Jingqun. With Song Yucong's help, he checked most of Zhao Jingqun's background and deduced the true situation from it, until he saw that Zhao Jingqun had spent some time in Tao Ning's hometown to collect folk songs with his sister half a year ago.

Xu Jun knew that Tao Ning had been with Zhao Jingqun during that period. He put aside the fact that only one-third of Zhao Jingqun's information was true, and with the hope of not giving up a shred of hope, he called Zhao Jingqun's sister, Zhao Jingsui.

The phone rang a few times, and the other end actually answered, "Who are you?"

Zhao Jingsui's voice was cold and clear, and he directly questioned the identity of the person on the other end of the phone. Xu Junyiran didn't say anything else, but calmly said, "Your brother has kidnapped someone, and the media is going to expose this. If you don't want the Zhao family scandal to continue to ferment, tell Zhao Jingqun to let him go."

To Xu Jun's surprise, the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before he said slowly, "My brother kidnapped Tao Ning, right? What's your relationship with him?"

This little hope was shattered. Xu Jun's fingers turned white as he clenched the phone, and he hung up the phone directly.

Zhao Jingsui looked at the hung-up call, raising an eyebrow slightly. He Niannian, who was swinging on the swing and eating ice cream, turned around and said, "Sui Sui, why did it stop? Who called?"

Zhao Jingsui smiled and continued to swing her, "Nothing, let's continue playing."

At night, Zhao Jingsui gently pulled away He Niannian's hand, tucked the quilt around her, got out of bed and went out of the bedroom. She called a number with only a string of numbers in the note.

She waited patiently for more than thirty seconds before the call finally connected. Zhao Jingsui heard faint sobbing on the other end of the line, followed by Zhao Jingqun's cold voice: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Jingsui could tell he had interrupted the night of love for his biological brother, with whom he had a mediocre relationship, so he cut to the chase, "Someone said you kidnapped Tao Ning. They're warning you to release her, or they'll make a media splash."

The person on the other end of the phone said coldly, "Let him go."

With a snap, the phone shattered into pieces. Zhao Jingqun's eyes were bloodshot. He pressed down on the soft body beneath him, pinched his chin and said sarcastically, "Tao Ning, Xu Jun and Song Yucong are looking for you everywhere. You still dare to say you don't have an affair with them? What do you think of you if I send them the video of us having sex? Huh?"

Even though she knew Zhao Jingqun wouldn't do that and was just trying to scare her, Tao Ning still couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. Her delicate hands grabbed Zhao Jingqun's burning wrist, trying to push him away. She said in a hoarse voice, "No, I'll hate you if you do that..."

Tao Ning has been staying in this room for seven days. During these seven days, he has been enduring Zhao Jingqun's angry lust for most of the time. At the beginning, Tao Ning could still endure it, but later he begged for mercy to the point that his pupils were out of focus, but Zhao Jingqun still refused to let him go.

Especially the next day, after Zhao Jingqun came back from outside, he demanded it almost like crazy, with twisted jealousy in his eyes, and forced Tao Ning to ask who she loved the most.

Tao Ning said she loved him, but Zhao Jingqun didn't believe her and said he was a liar. She would never believe him again and would never be deceived by him again.

“…”

Tao Ning had no way to communicate with him because the guilt and heartache she felt after the slap made her feel even worse. She could only silently endure Zhao Jingqun's calm and crazy behavior.

Today, for some unknown reason, Zhao Jingqun not only slammed the phone down after answering it, but also started spouting nonsense again. Perhaps the word "hate" irritated him again, and the hand holding his chin tightened. Tao Ning looked at the man so close, his eyes red, and sneered, "Hate me? Fine, it's better than you being heartless. Tao Ning, if you want to hate me, then hate me forever. Tomorrow, I'll definitely send the video to those two stray dogs, and I'll let you see their reactions with your own eyes."

"Crazy... You really are a lunatic..."

If Tao Ning thought he understood Zhao Jingqun well, he would have been certain that Zhao Jingqun was only threatening him. But at close range, the fierceness in the man's eyes was so clear that Tao Ning realized that his gentle, domineering and somewhat ruffian character in the past was only a part of Zhao Jingqun. Perhaps the Zhao Jingqun who was now crazy was the complete him.

...What should he do? What should he do? It turns out there is a surveillance camera in this room. If Zhao Jingqun really sends the video to Xu Jun and Song Yucong, how will he behave in front of them in the future?

Tao Ning's almost desperate expression deeply hurt Zhao Jingqun. He felt the pleasure of "revenge", but his heart ached so much that it was about to break. Zhao Jingqun could only keep hypnotizing himself, he wanted Tao Ning to have him in her heart, even if it was only hatred.

There was no way he could turn back.

Zhao Jingqun kissed the lips of the person under him and crushed them wantonly, but because of Tao Ning's illness, he was afraid of biting her and causing her to bleed, so he didn't dare to use too much force. He had to suck continuously, as if only in this way could he slightly calm his inner reason, which was clouded by jealousy and pain.

This time, Tao Ning struggled harder than ever before. Tears mixed with saliva, and it was hard to tell which one was more bitter.

Until another silent sex ended, Zhao Jingqun washed his body clean, and then hugged him tightly. Even when he fell asleep, the strength was still so strong that Tao Ning could not struggle.

Tao Ning couldn't sleep, staring at the dark ceiling. After a long moment, Tao Ning calmly said to the system in her mind: "Save me! If I don't, I won't be able to complete the final mission."

Tao Ning clearly heard an ambiguous laugh in her mind, "Tao Ning, Zhao Jingqun is right. You are indeed a complete liar."

[Thanks to you.] Tao Ning said indifferently, [I refused from the beginning.]

The system's voice was quite amusing. [But you have no right to refuse. Answer me a question and I will rescue you.]

Tao Ning didn't say anything.

[Who do you like among these three people? ]

Tao Ning fell silent for a rare moment. It wasn't that he couldn't answer, but that he simply didn't have an answer. His heart was already in a mess. Whether it was Zhao Jingqun, Xu Jun, or Song Yucong, he could no longer treat them as simple math problems or tasks.

But before Tao Ning could say anything, the system sneered, as if it already knew the answer. "You can't answer because... you like all three. If Zhao Jingqun knew what you were thinking, he probably wouldn't just imprison you."

Tao Ning closed his eyes, his face expressionless, except for the trembling of his clenched fists beneath the covers. Perhaps sensing Tao Ning's fear, Zhao Jingqun, though still unaware, hugged Tao Ning tighter out of habit, gently patting his thin back and murmuring "be good" to comfort him.

He opened his eyes suddenly. In the darkness, Tao Ning held back his tears and carefully portrayed the face that carried all his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness. He had never been so sure before. He finally developed a trace of hatred for this face.

It was no longer a simple emotion of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness; it was a genuine, authentic hatred. Why did Zhao Jingqun insist on digging into his affairs? Why did Zhao Jingqun insist on embarrassing everyone? Why did she hurt him yet treat him so well? If she thought he was a fickle liar, why wouldn't she let him go?!

This feeling was too complicated, fleeting in her heart. Tao Ning couldn't even comprehend it, it had already passed through her mind quickly until the system's voice sounded condescendingly: "Tomorrow, the two of them will know your location."

Tao Ning sighed and closed his eyes again as if he was freed. He kept repeating in his mind, "Let it end, let it end like this."

But...can it really end?
