Chapter 326 Give Me a Chance to Pursue You

He even thought about using Luna's gentle embrace to temporarily escape the frustration and pain brought by Suman.

The tape on Su Man's mouth was torn off, and her face stung with pain. Only then did she realize that when she tried to tear the tape off, she rubbed the edge of the tape with her clothes and broke the skin on her face.

The security guard brought pliers and other tools to cut the rope. While helping Su Man cut the nylon rope, Qiao Shiyan said apologetically, "When I returned to the hotel, I only saw the nanny, but not you. I called you, but the call was disconnected. I thought you were in a bad mood, so I wanted to go out for a walk. As a result, just now, I received an anonymous text message saying that you might be on the rooftop of the hotel... At first, I thought it was a prank. But your phone was always disconnected, so I felt something was wrong. I contacted security and checked the surveillance, but... I only saw you go to the hot spring area at the end, and there was no surveillance after that."

Therefore, when Su Man couldn't speak, Qiao Shiyan was still able to confirm with Su Man whether she was on the rooftop.

"Who sent you the anonymous text message?" Su Man asked.

Qiao Shiyan shook his head: "I don't know about that..." Halfway through his words, his face suddenly became serious: "Call the police. It's an international resort hotel, and criminals dare to kidnap guests openly. What if something happens... If I hadn't taken on a kidnapping case before and realized that you can't speak, I might not be able to confirm your whereabouts. Besides, such a large hotel doesn't even have complete surveillance. How can they guarantee the personal safety of the guests?"

The latter sentence was said to the hotel staff present.

Accompanying Qiao Shiyan were not only the translator he brought with him, but also the hotel’s security guards, lobby manager, and middle-level managers.

Before coming, they followed Qiao Shiyan to check the surveillance footage, but they couldn't find Su Man.

But Su Man said, "Forget it."

"How can we just let this go? No matter what, we can't let this happen in silence and let you go through this shock and suffering in vain."

"I know who kidnapped me," Su Man said. "It was Luo Yan. She must have made preparations before she did it. She must have thought about whether there were any surveillance cameras nearby, whether anyone saw her... She would definitely not leave any handle for herself. Even if we caught her, what would it matter? She has Xiao Beisheng, and Xiao Beisheng will definitely protect her. Even if we call the police, Xiao Beisheng can make sure nothing happens to her."

Qiao Shiyan was silent.

The translator did not translate these words to the management staff. The manager and management thought that Qiao Shiyan and Su Man were discussing how to protect their rights, so they quickly said a lot of gibberish to the translator.

The translator then relayed the information to Qiao Shiyan and Su Man. The general idea was that the hotel was willing to pay a high compensation price, and would also upgrade them to a deluxe room for free, waive their accommodation fees for the next few days, and cover their subsequent travel expenses. If Su Man and Qiao Shiyan needed it, they would also cover the cost of Su Man's medical examination.

"I will go back and discuss with my wife what to do next. But I still hope that your hotel can improve its security system and be responsible to all guests," said Qiao Shiyan.

After the translation was passed on, the management repeatedly promised that they would do it and repeatedly bowed to the two of them to apologize.

Finally, Qiao Shiyan and Su Man were sent back to their hotel rooms with the hotel staff bowing and watching them go.

"If I hadn't had to take care of Doudou, I would have checked out overnight." Qiao Shiyan was still indignant about the hotel's security.

"I'm fine...it's okay."

Suman comforts him.

Qiao Shiyan sighed and took out the iodine for disinfection and the medicine for injuries from the medicine bag. These were specially prepared by the hotel for Su Man.

He took Su Man's hand and applied iodine to her, and Su Man quietly let him do it.

That night, the two people experienced a lot of things.

From Qiao Shiyan's confession and Su Man's rejection to Su Man's kidnapping and disappearance...the two of them felt like they were on a roller coaster. Now they are still in shock and have mixed feelings. Both of them are thinking about their own little plans.

Su Man was wondering who the mysterious person who sent the message to Qiao Shiyan was.

On this unfamiliar foreign island, the only people who knew about the relationship between Su Man and Qiao Shiyan were themselves, and Xiao Beisheng and Luo Yan, the two "old acquaintances".

And the person who knew that Su Man was kidnapped and had Qiao Shiyan's contact information...

There were only Xiao Beisheng and Luo Yan.

Is it Luo Yan?

Could Luo Yan be so kind? She kidnapped Su Man herself and reminded Qiao Shiyan to rescue her?

Luo Yan left her cell phone number to Su Man, and Su Man returned the letter.

But Su Man didn't believe that someone would be kind enough to remind Qiao Shiyan.

Then there is only one possibility, it is Xiao Beisheng.

But compared to Xiao Beisheng reminding Qiao Shiyan, Su Man would rather believe that Luo Yan had a change of heart and showed mercy.

Xiao Beisheng?

Absolutely impossible!

Regardless of whether Xiao Beisheng had good intentions towards Su Man, he might not even know that Su Man was kidnapped. He was not far away from them and witnessed the whole process of their love!

Qiao Shiyan, on the other hand, was wondering why Su Man was kidnapped by Luo Yan.

When they met during the day, Luo Yan did show some harshness and neurotic emotions towards Su Man.

But these do not constitute Luo Yan's motive for kidnapping Suman.

unless……

During the time when he and Su Man were separated, what happened between Su Man, Luo Yan and Xiao Beisheng?

When checking the surveillance footage just now, Qiao Shiyan saw that when Su Man returned to the hotel, Xiao Beisheng followed her into the hotel lobby.

Although Xiao Beisheng did not follow Su Man back to the room, Su Man sent Doudou back to the room, handed him over to the nanny, and then turned back and went out to have a midnight snack with Xiao Beisheng alone.

Including the scene where Su Man was bumped into by Luo Yan while buying family planning products, which was also recorded by the surveillance camera.

What did Su Man and Xiao Beisheng experience in that short hour?

What is the relationship between Su Man and Xiao Beisheng now?

Does Su Man still have feelings for Xiao Beisheng?

After all, Xiao Beisheng is Doudou's biological father, and this is a bond that cannot be severed no matter what.

Qiao Shiyan felt powerless and frustrated, and his heart was confused.

So much so that when he was applying medicine to Suman, he didn't even notice that he had applied the wrong medicine.

Su Man reminded him: "Senior, iodine has just been applied."

"Oh! Sorry, I was thinking about something." Qiao Shiyan put down the iodine, held up Su Man's hand, placed it in his palm, blew gently, and helped her dry the iodine.

Su Man looked at Qiao Shiyan's expression and made up her mind to be honest with him: "Senior, don't you have anything you want to ask? Actually, tonight..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qiao Shiyan:

"Manman, listen to me first."

Su Man was stunned and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Qiao Shiyan continued, "I am serious about confessing my feelings to you tonight."

He mustered up his courage, raised his eyes, looked directly at Su Man, and gazed into her eyes affectionately: "I know that the transition from friends to lovers requires a process. Just because you don't have feelings for me now doesn't mean you won't have them in the future. I hope you won't sentence me to death so early, and give me a chance, a chance to pursue you, and let me perform well once."
