"Are you an animal? Is the child only mine? Isn't he yours too?" Aunt Zhou trembled with anger.
With a sharp knife pressed against her chest, Jiang Xue felt a little scared, but she still pretended to be calm and said to Aunt Zhou, "It's okay, let's do as he says and give him two thousand yuan."
Jiang Xue's mind raced. She had finally managed to accumulate some wealth in this era, and now this person wanted to take it all away? It was easy to think, but it depended on whether she had the luck to do so.
"Honey, I'm begging you, please release Jiang Xue. I'll give you all the money I've earned these past few days." Aunt Zhou cried so hard she almost knelt down.
"Stop arguing and tell her husband to come and get her with money, or I'll kill her." After saying that, Aunt Zhou's husband threw down a piece of paper. "This is the address. Take the money and go get her."
Aunt Zhou's husband was thinking about getting money quickly so he could run away.
"Xiaoling, Xiaoling, go to Yuehu Avenue and find Ji Chen. His office is at No. 43 on the right side of the street. Just go through that narrow alley and you'll find it. Tell him to bring two thousand yuan to pick me up. I'm afraid of dying." Jiang Xue sobbed cautiously, not daring to make a sound.
Aunt Zhou was so frightened that she trembled. She ran into the shop and grabbed Xiaoling's hand, saying, "I can help you."
"Since it's settled, then it's agreed. If you dare to call the police or try anything funny, I'll just tear this bitch to pieces."
Aunt Zhou's husband dragged Jiang Xue westward, and Jiang Xue turned back and gave Gu Xiaoling a sharp, unquestionable look.
Gu Xiaoling was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
"Let's go find Ji Chen together." Aunt Zhou emptied all the money from the tin box, and after counting it, there were only thirty-odd yuan in total.
She couldn't hold back her tears and burst into sobs.
Gu Xiaoling was even more anxious and her head was spinning. Jiang Xue had given her the address of the tobacco bureau, which led to the police station from that alley, not Ji Chen's office at all.
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a while, Aunt Zhou hurriedly got up. "Come on, let's go quickly! Who knows what that beast will do to Jiang Xue if we don't hurry!"
Aunt Zhou still had tears in the corners of her eyes.
"It's not that I didn't want to go find Ji Chen, it's that she told me to call the police."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou exclaimed, "Didn't that beast just say that if we called the police, he would kill the hostage?"
"You stay here and watch the shop, I'll go call the police." Gu Xiaoling thought of Jiang Xue's resolute look before she left, and ran straight to the police station.
Aunt Zhou was not only worried about Jiang Xue, but also a little hesitant. After all, he was her man. Even if they didn't have a marital relationship, he was still the father of her child.
She remembered that Ji Chen had mentioned his workplace, which was just an alley away. If she could give the money to the man before the police arrived, it seemed like nothing would happen.
She locked the shop door and ran towards Ji Chen with the child.
Jiang Xue crossed the street, trying to break free from the man's hold. She deliberately shouted, and Aunt Zhou's man, a complete scoundrel, stabbed Jiang Xue directly in the thigh with a knife.
"Stay inside and behave yourself. If you dare to make another sound, the wound won't be so shallow."
The bright red bloodstains on the ground were shocking. Jiang Xue was locked inside the dimly lit warehouse, but Aunt Zhou's husband was nowhere to be seen.
