Her whole body was being constricted, including her stomach. Xiang Nanzhi felt dizzy and her lower abdomen ached. She hadn't taken the baby seriously during her pregnancy, but now she could feel the baby struggling desperately.

He disliked being restrained by the rope and wanted to break free.

Xiang Nanzhi felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and the baby inside was moving frantically.

For some reason, tears kept falling down her face. She couldn't move and could only try to breathe deeply.

She and her child are one; if she suffocates in this box, the child will not survive either.

Shen Shixun communicated with the security guard to go upstairs. Just as he got out of the elevator, another elevator went down. He pressed the elevator button, but the elevator did not stop.

Shen Shixun hurriedly went downstairs again and ran desperately towards the underground parking lot.

When he arrived, everything was still calm, and there were no suspicious vehicles.

Shen Shixun changed his phone and tried to call Xiang Nanzhi, but still couldn't get through. So he called Xiang Ciyuan instead.

"Hey, Sehun."

"Call your sister."

"Are you two having another argument?"

"You hit it now."

Shen Shixun hung up the phone immediately. Xiang Ciyuan thought to himself, "Is this how he speaks to me?"

On a whim, Xiang Nanzhi called, but didn't answer. The next second, Shen Shixun called, "Are you a fortune teller or what?"

"No one's answering?"

"He's probably busy."

"Something might have happened to her."

Xiang Ciyuan suddenly stood up. "What did you say?"

She can't be reached by phone, she's not at the antique market, no one's home, her car is parked in the neighborhood parking lot, she's disappeared, where could she be?

Xiang Ciyuan quickly called his men to help check the surveillance footage at the relevant location, and also asked Zhang Yandong and Xiang Jingyi to help find people.

Upon learning of this, Xiang Jingyi immediately left the company, putting aside everything he was doing.

"Big brother, don't tell Dad yet, so he won't worry."

"How long has it been?"

“It’s been about two hours,” Shen Shixun said.

Why are you only telling me now?

Xiang Ciyuan had only just found out, and Xiang Jingyi scolded him, "If something happens to Zhizhi, will you take responsibility?"

Xiang Ciyuan was so angry that he lost all his strength and could only drive around the entire ancient city looking for someone.

To ensure her safety, her car had a GPS tracker, but now the car is there but she's not. Finding someone in the ancient city is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In previous years, other wealthy families in the ancient city were also kidnapped and murdered by kidnappers.

Xiang Ciyuan's car was stuck in the center of the ancient city, and he was so angry that he kept honking his horn, but he couldn't get through.

He couldn't get through on the phone, and his vision went black. He picked up another identical backup phone and dialed a number overseas.

"Brother Li..."

"Ask those in the area who are involved, and find out if they have received any assignments."

"Brother Li, what do you mean?"

"Ask them if they have received any orders to kidnap a young girl surnamed Xiang."

After a moment of silence, the other party said, "Brother Li, I'll go ask right now, is that girl one of yours?"

"She is my sister."

After the other party hung up the phone, they immediately tried to contact them.

Xiang Ciyuan leaned back in his seat, his hands trembling slightly. His casino in country X, which he ran anonymously—could it be that someone had discovered his background, and some gamblers, fearing further losses, had…

He knew how crazy those people were, and Xiang Ciyuan didn't even dare to think about it.

Shen Shixun received a call and learned that before he went downstairs, two men carrying a suitcase got into a car and drove away from the parking lot. He subconsciously felt that Xiang Nanzhi must be inside.

She kept splashing water into the bustling streets as a cry for help; she probably didn't expect those people to come back so quickly.

Confined in the car, Xiang Nanzhi had even less access to fresh air. In the sweltering summer heat, she was constantly sweating, and although it was very hot, she gradually started to feel cold again.

The baby in her womb started moving a lot, then gradually stopped. Her body was bound into a twisted shape and crammed into that box.

She was on the verge of death, her eyes barely able to open.

The car kept going forward, and after an unknown amount of time, it arrived at a rural area in the ancient city.

When she arrived, Xiang Nanzhi was barely able to see the light of day. She was immediately hoisted up, her vision illuminated by orange light. She thought she was about to be freed, but the moment she was hoisted up, she felt as if her hands were about to break, her lower abdomen was being constricted by ropes, and her whole body felt like it was about to fall apart.

The rope tightened even more, and she couldn't breathe at all.

The two men had a few drinks, and then made another phone call. "Mr. Xiang, are you going to give us the money or not? If you don't, we'll sell your daughter's organs."

Xiang Nanzhi was horrified; such a perverted thing could actually happen to her.

She knew about her family's situation; there was absolutely no way her father could owe them money.

The camera was briefly pointed at her, and she couldn't open her eyes at all. By the time her vision returned and she tried to see clearly whether the other person was Xiang Zhengyi, the blond-haired man took the phone away.

"You won't give it to us? We're starting to use knives."

The next second, a flash of light appeared before her eyes. It was an incredibly sharp long knife, pointed at her lower abdomen. "Then I'll cut from here."

With his lips sealed, Xiang Nanzhi couldn't say a word. His whole body was numb, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle.

Suddenly, blood began to trickle down her body. Xiang Nanzhi turned pale instantly, and her lower abdomen felt like it was being pricked by countless needles. The pain brought tears to her eyes immediately.

The two men were laughing. One of them said, "That's exciting, she's bleeding."

"So beautiful, it would be a shame if she died, perhaps..."

Xiang Nanzhi's eyes widened. The next second, the sharp long knife cut the rope that was suspending her. She curled up like a shrimp, desperately protecting her stomach, and fell to the ground with a thud.

She was still in the position of protecting her stomach, ignoring the scrapes on her knees and arms from hitting the ground, and protecting them tightly.

The next second, the blond-haired man pounced on her and ripped the black bandage out of her mouth, yelling, "Scream!"

Xiang Nanzhi wanted to shout for help, but shouting for help was obviously useless at this moment, and she didn't have the strength to make a sound.

"So beautiful, a classic Eastern beauty..."

"A petite figure..."

A man gripped her waist tightly, and Xiang Nanzhi bit his arm with all her might.

Another man grabbed her by the neck and slammed her to the ground, the back of her head hitting the ground with a crisp sound.

"Shen Shixun!"

Xiang Nanzhi shouted the name with all her might, and then the man slapped her across the face with his big hand, while his other hand grabbed her clothes, leaving her unable to move her hands.

"You hold on, I'll go first..."

There was no room for negotiation; their goal was simply to kill her.

Xiang Nanzhi shook her head, struggling, her ears ringing, until she could no longer move. The two men laughed, and she heard the sound of something being torn apart.

Suddenly, a car crashed through the outer wall, and Xiang Nanzhi let out a heart-wrenching scream...
