Xu Zhiru carefully moved her wrists that were bound with hemp rope. The rough hemp rope rubbed her skin painfully, but a barely perceptible sneer appeared on her face.

Of course the rope was not tight; it was just a play she directed and acted out herself.

She exerted a little force and broke free from the restraints on her wrists.

The rope on the feet was only tied symbolically and it would be untied with a slight pull.

Xu Zhiru deliberately let out a few weak moans, then slowly slid to the cold ground.

"Ugh..." She cried out in pain, as if she had been tied up for a really long time and was extremely weak.

She looked around. In the dim light, the abandoned factory looked even more eerie.

Cobwebs formed thick webs in the corners, and dust floated in the air, emitting a musty smell.

Xu Zhiru stood up, staggered a few steps, and deliberately knocked over several abandoned iron barrels next to her, making a loud "clang clang" sound that was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

She walked to a cracked wall and rubbed it hard a few times, tearing her white dress into several pieces, revealing her fair skin.

In order to make the scene more realistic, she took out a small knife she had prepared in advance from her pocket and gently cut a few cuts on her arm. Immediately, bright red blood seeped out and mixed with the dust, which looked shocking.

Xu Zhiru looked at her "masterpiece" with satisfaction, a sinister smile on her lips.

She took out an old cell phone from the inside pocket of her skirt. She had prepared it specially to send a message for help.

The mobile phone screen lit up dimly, and Xu Zhiru quickly edited a text message, attached the pre-set location information, and sent it to Xu Zhao.

The message was simple, just a few words: "Save me, factory."

After sending the message, Xu Zhiru quickly turned off the phone, put it back in her pocket, and continued to "escape" in the abandoned factory.

She deliberately slowed down her pace, breathing heavily with each step, to make herself look even weaker and more helpless.

She knew that after Xu Zhao received the message, he would immediately notify Fu Chen, and that idiot Fu Chen would definitely rush over like crazy to "save" her.

Xu Zhao's phone vibrated. He picked up the phone and saw the text message from his sister. A sinister smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Sister, don't worry, I will make you succeed this time!" Xu Zhao whispered, his tone full of excitement.

He immediately dialed Fu Chen's number. The phone rang several times before it was connected. Fu Chen's tired voice came from the receiver, "What's the matter?"

Xu Zhao took a deep breath and said in a panic, "Brother-in-law, this is bad! I...I received an unfamiliar text message!"

"What text message?" Fu Chen's voice immediately became alert, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

"It's... it's from the kidnappers!" Xu Zhao's voice trembled, as if he was genuinely frightened. "They... they said... my sister is in their custody. They want us to prepare a ransom, and they also... they sent a location!"

"Location?!" Fu Chen's voice instantly rose an octave, his tone filled with shock and anger. "Quick! Send me the location!"

Xu Zhao quickly forwarded the location information sent to him by Xu Zhiru to Fu Chen.

When Fu Chen received the location information, he immediately jumped up from the sofa, his face ashen and his eyes full of anger.

"Damn it! These kidnappers actually dared to move their location!" Fu Chen roared, grabbed his coat and rushed out.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Calm down!" Xu Zhao hurriedly chased after him, hypocritically admonishing him, "It's too dangerous for you to rush over now. What if this is a trap set by the kidnappers?"

"A trap?!" Fu Chen paused, turned around abruptly, and glared at Xu Zhao with red eyes. "I don't care about that! I must rescue Zhiru! Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will get through it!"

"But..." Xu Zhao wanted to persuade him again, but was rudely interrupted by Fu Chen.

"Stop talking! I've made up my mind!" Fu Chen roared and rushed out of the villa without looking back.

Xu Zhao looked at Fu Chen's departing back, a sinister smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Fu Chen's convoy sped through the night like an arrow.

The car was going so fast that it was almost flying, and the tires made a sharp scream as they rubbed against the ground.

The convoy soon arrived near the abandoned factory indicated by the positioning information.

Fu Chen couldn't wait to open the car door and rushed out first.

"Zhiru! Zhiru!" Fu Chen anxiously called out Xu Zhiru's name, his voice echoing in the empty night.

Under the dim moonlight, the abandoned factory looked even more eerie and terrifying, with broken walls and ruins everywhere.

Fu Chen brought the security team and carefully walked into the factory, searching everywhere for Xu Zhiru's whereabouts.

"Zhi Ru! Where are you?!" Fu Chen's voice trembled slightly, and anxiety and worry almost overwhelmed him.

Suddenly, a faint groan came from a corner not far away.

Fu Chen's body shook violently, and he immediately ran towards the sound.

In the dim moonlight, he finally saw the figure that had been haunting him.

Xu Zhiru fell to the ground in tattered clothes, with messy hair, face covered with dust, and several shocking bloodstains on her arms. She looked extremely embarrassed, weak and pitiful.

"Zhi Ru!" Fu Chen's heart seemed to be hit hard, and a huge feeling of heartache and anger instantly surged into his heart.

He rushed to Xu Zhiru in two steps, picked her up and held her tightly in his arms.

"Zhiru! Zhiru! What happened to you?!" Fu Chen's voice was trembling, and his tone was full of heartache and self-blame.

Xu Zhiru opened her eyes weakly, and when she saw Fu Chen's anxious face, her eyes instantly turned red.

"Ah...Ah Chen...is that you?" Her voice was as weak as a mosquito's hum, with a barely perceptible tremor.

"It's me! It's me! Zhiru, I'm here, I'm here to save you!" Fu Chen hugged Xu Zhiru tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body and never separate again.

"A Chen... I... I'm so scared..." Xu Zhiru said weakly, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's okay. It's all over. I'm here, and no one can hurt you anymore." Fu Chen gently comforted Xu Zhiru, his voice so soft as if he was treating a fragile treasure.

He carefully examined the wounds on Xu Zhiru's body, and his heart ached so much that he almost bled.

"These damn kidnappers! I will make them pay the price!" Fu Chen said gritting his teeth, his tone filled with rage and murderous intent.

Xu Zhiru snuggled in Fu Chen's arms, tears still flowing, but a barely perceptible sneer quietly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
