Chapter 196 I’m Sorry for Not Protecting You

School Security Department.

He Yanting stared at the monitor with a grim expression.

"Mr. He, Madam has left through the west gate."

Gao Cheng came over to report.

He Yanting turned and left without saying a word, and Gao Cheng almost had to jog to catch up with him.

Another ten minutes passed.

"Mr. He, I found this!"

A bodyguard trotted over and handed something to He Yanting.

Looking at the familiar pearl bracelet, the veins on He Yanting's forehead twitched slowly, and his face was as gloomy as if frozen.

"Something's happened to her. Go check the surveillance cameras at every intersection!"

Then he said to Gao Cheng, "Let Tuanbao go home first and tell him that his mother has to work overtime tonight."

Gao Cheng said seriously, "I understand."

In less than half an hour, Gao Cheng came running over with the investigation results.

"Mr. He, we've found out. It's very likely that the lady was taken away by this van, but it's very strange—"

Gao Cheng paused, "The kidnapping method was extremely crude and crude. They even failed to avoid some cameras and captured my face. I feel like they...don't seem very smart."

He Yanting sneered: "If anyone dares to touch Ruanruan, no matter how smart he is, I will make him suffer a fate worse than death."

Jiang Xu was blindfolded, dragged out of the car and taken somewhere.

There was a mess of jumbled objects under my feet.

She fell down several times and was roughly grabbed by the other party.

Until she came to a room, she heard the sound of a door closing, and then the sound of a light turning on.

"Who's going first?"

A man's obscene voice sounded.

"I was the first one to catch her!" said a man.

Another person said, "Should we ask Brother Qiu first?"

The man who spoke first snorted, "Why ask that? I told you to go ahead and mess around. Just don't forget to take pictures."

"Why don't we go together then?"

"Okay, I haven't played this kind of thing before, hehehe..."

The footsteps gradually approached, and a disgusting greasy smell filled Jiang Xu's nostrils.

Her palms were full of cold sweat, but she pretended to be calm on the surface and said lightly: "The Brother Qiu you are talking about, is it just asking you to ruin me?"

The men were intimidated by her, and one of them said, "Girl, don't blame us. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have offended."

Jiang Xu smiled and said, "I just feel sorry for you."

The man was stunned: "What a pity?"

Jiang Xu said, "Which do you prefer, to ruin me or to get a lot of money?"

The man sneered: "Brother Qiu has already given us money. Besides, we dare not disobey his orders, beauty. We are all forced, hahahaha."

Jiang Xu suppressed his nausea and said, "The large sum of money I'm talking about is tens of millions, maybe even hundreds of millions."

Those people were stunned: "What did you say?"

Jiang Xu smiled and said, "Didn't your Brother Qiu tell you? My husband is very rich. Since you've caught me, why don't you extort some money from me? You can at least get tens of millions, which is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your lives."

Those people fell silent instantly.

Then there were the sounds of fading footsteps and whispering.

Jiang Xu sighed secretly. All she could do now was to delay time and buy herself a little more hope.

The men discussed for a while, then came back and asked, "What's your husband's phone number?"

Jiang Xu gave out He Yanting's cell phone number.

They called He Yanting.

Jiang Xu realized that these people were not a professional gang, but more like a few low-class thugs.

She thought about it and couldn't imagine who would treat her in such a vulgar and despicable way.

The call was connected almost as soon as it was dialed.

"Hello?"

A magnetic and familiar voice, with a hint of coldness, came from the phone.

Hearing this voice, Jiang Xu felt a lump in his throat and wanted to cry for no apparent reason.

One of the kidnappers asked, "Your wife is in our hands. How much can you give?"

He Yanting was silent for a few seconds, then asked calmly, "How much do you want?"

The kidnappers argued among themselves for a while, then boldly said, "30...30 million!"

He Yanting said in a deep voice, "Okay, do you want cash or bank transfer?"

Several people started arguing again.

Final decision: "Cash!"

He Yanting said: "Okay, give me the address."

Those people were stunned. They didn't expect the money to come so easily. They decided to send someone to get the money, but they were afraid that the person would run away with the money.

"Let's think about it."

He Yanting smiled and said, "Okay, but there's a prerequisite: don't hurt my wife."

"Then don't worry, hehehe!"

As they spoke, they winked at each other.

They went out to discuss for nearly half an hour before coming back.

"What? Take a picture for Brother Qiu first."

"Okay, you do it, I'll call that rich guy."

They discussed and acted separately.

One of them approached Jiang Xu and said in a gruff voice, "Beautiful lady, we are trustworthy. Since your husband has paid us, we won't touch you. Take some pictures to report to the higher-ups."

As he said that, he grabbed Jiang Xu and tried to tear off her clothes.

Jiang Xu struggled for a moment: "If you dare to touch me, I will make your head bleed."

The man smiled contemptuously: "Then come on."

The next second, Jiang Xu raised his hand, grabbed a stone, and smashed it on the man's head.

"ah--"

The man screamed.

Jiang Xu took off the blindfold, the rope around his wrist fell off, and he held up the stone, staring coldly at the three men: "Get away, or I won't be polite!"

The person who was hit was furious: "Damn it, you are looking for death, I am going to kill you today!"

As he said this, he rushed towards Jiang Xu with a ferocious look on his face.

Sudden--

Bang!

The door was broken open from the outside.

Several black figures rushed in, and then someone shouted: "Here, go inform Mr. He, we found it!"

"Who are you and what are you doing?"

The kidnapper screamed in confusion.

The bodyguards were all well-trained veterans. They kicked one of the thugs over, and then a tall figure walked quickly in from the door.

The dim light reflected on his handsome face, making him look so gloomy and terrifying.

"Break every bone in their body, but don't let them die. Keep them breathing and torture them slowly."

The magnetic voice, with complete indifference, gave orders with full majesty.

Then, he walked in front of Jiang Xu with steady steps.

Looking at the man approaching step by step, Jiang Xu's eyes were sour, and the brick in his hand, which was used as a weapon, fell to the ground.

"He Yanting..."

She cried softly, and the second before tears fell, the man hugged her in his arms.

"It's okay, Ruanruan."

He gently stroked her head and soothed her tenderly.

Jiang Xu's tears fell violently, and soon, He Yanting's shirt was wet.

He felt a tightness in his chest, as if it was about to explode.

"I'm sorry I didn't protect you."

He blamed himself terribly, not knowing what the purpose of these beasts was, but he still felt scared. If he had come a little later, he really didn't know what kind of harm Ruanruan would have suffered.

Jiang Xu shook his head: "I'm fine."

He Yanting grabbed her hand and looked her up and down. He saw several scratches on her wrist and palm, which were caused by the fall when she was pushed just now.

His face was as cold as ice, and he lowered his head and kissed the wound.

Jiang Xu was a little shy, and just at this moment Gao Cheng walked in, she subconsciously retracted her hand.

Gao Cheng saw his boss lower his head and kiss Jiang Xu's palm. He remained calm and said seriously, "Boss He, the fight is over. They were just a few thugs."

He Yanting's face was as gloomy as water: "Have you confessed?"

Gao Cheng nodded: "They said that a man named Brother Qiu ordered them to..."

He was a little hesitant to continue.

He Yanting glanced at Jiang Xu and said softly, "Get in the car first, I'll take care of the rest."

Jiang Xu's eyes were firm. "I also want to know who ordered them, Assistant Gao, tell me."

He Yanting nodded to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng then dared to continue: "That Brother Qiu asked them to tarnish my wife's innocence and even took photos and posted them online, saying that my sister-in-law had offended his woman."

As soon as these words came out, He Yanting's face became quite terrifying.

He sneered, "Find this person within the hour and I'll personally interrogate him."
