After the two finished their meal, it was getting late, so they didn't go anywhere else or do anything else. Instead, Jing Pei took Hong Baobao home.
After Jing Pei escorted Hong Baobao to her doorstep, he watched her enter the house before turning around and returning to his own home.
After Jing Pei returned home, she thought her older brother should have been back by now, but after asking Zhang Ma, she learned that Shen Quan had not yet returned.
Hong Baobao sent a message to Shen Quan and asked him something.
Hong Baobao didn't dwell on the fact that Shen Quan hadn't returned home so late.
I suppose something must have happened to her brother.
After all, Shen Quan is usually quite busy, and he has quite a few friends.
Perhaps Shen Quan went out for drinks with his friends.
Thinking this to herself, Hong Baobao didn't pay much attention and went back to her room to wash up.
After Hong Baobao sent a message to Shen Quan, she didn't receive a reply for a long time. She didn't pay attention to it and went to sleep.
As a result, not long after Hong Baobao fell asleep, around three o'clock in the morning, she suddenly heard a cell phone ringing in her sleep.
Hong Baobao was sleeping soundly. At this moment, her eyes were still a little blurry, and she could barely open them.
Hong Baobao forced herself to open her eyes. She reached for her phone, opened it, and saw that it was a call from an unknown number.
Hong Baobao thought it was a harassing call, so she hung up immediately and didn't intend to pay any more attention to it.
Nuisance calls come in every now and then, and someone will call Hong Baobao a few times.
At first, Hong Baobao would answer the phone, but now, she generally won't answer calls from unfamiliar numbers.
Anyway, it wasn't someone she knew, so she didn't need to accept the call.
Hong Baobao hung up the phone immediately, then lay down, closed her eyes, and went back to sleep.
Hong Baobao had barely closed her eyes after her wedding when her phone rang again.
Hong Baobao picked up her phone and saw that it was the same number that had called her earlier.
Hong Baobao thought for a moment and realized that usually, if an unknown number called her, she wouldn't call back a second time after hanging up.
But this number is different.
Moreover, even if it's a sales call or other kind of call, they still need to sleep late at night.
It's impossible to call yourself during this time.
And then, after she hung up the phone, she called back.
Could it be someone she knows?
Is it just that you changed your phone number?
Thinking about it, it really is possible.
With that in mind, Hong Baobao answered the phone.
"Is this Hong Baobao? Your brother Chen Quan is in our hands. If you don't want anything to happen to your brother, come to a certain place in the east by yourself. Remember, you can only come alone. If you dare to call the police or find someone else, don't blame us for being ruthless towards your brother."
Upon hearing what the other party said, Hong Baobao immediately understood.
It seems her brother has been arrested.
Moreover, it seems that those people's purpose in seizing power was still because of her.
"You say my brother is in your hands, how do I know if it's true or not? I demand to video chat with you."
Hong Baobao wasn't sure whether what the other person said was true or false.
Although she wasn't sure whether what the person said was true or false, she felt that it was most likely true.
After all, if what that person said was false, the lie would be exposed immediately.
After hearing Hong Baobao's request for a video call, the man immediately hung up the phone.
A little while later, he called directly.
After Hong Baobao connected the video call, she did see Shen Quan.
Shen Quan was tied to a chair, his mouth was taped shut with black tape, and he couldn't speak at all.
Upon seeing this, Hong Baobao was certain.
It seems that Shen Quan really has been kidnapped.
No wonder, the message she sent to her brother before going to bed that night, he didn't reply at all.
It turned out that her brother had an accident.
“Okay, you guys wait here, I’ll be right there,” Hong Baobao said.
Regardless of what that person's purpose was, she had to go there now.
She couldn't let Shen Quan have even the slightest problem.
Moreover, she wanted to see what that person's purpose was.
They didn't want money, they just wanted her to go to that place. Hong Baobao knew that their goal wasn't money or power, but her.
However, there was one thing that Hong Baobao found strange.
So, if their goal is themselves, then why would they kidnap Shen Quan instead of kidnapping themselves directly?
Wouldn't it be easier for them to achieve their goals by directly kidnapping themselves?
Hong Baobao felt that she really couldn't understand this person's thought process.
However, now is not the time to think about those things, so Hong Baobao stopped thinking about them.
Hong Baobao quickly got dressed, then went straight to the garage, got a car, and drove out.
Zhang Ma heard Hong Baobao leave the house.
After hearing the noise, Zhang Ma went to the window and looked outside. She only saw someone drive away.
However, she wasn't sure who was driving.
She remembered that Shen Quan hadn't come back last night, so the only one who drove away now was Hong Baobao.
But, baby, why is she driving out so late? What could be the reason?
Zhang Ma couldn't figure it out either. She was a light sleeper at night, and now that she was awake, she couldn't fall back asleep.
Hong Baobao drove directly to the place the person had mentioned.
Hong Baobao drove at a relatively fast speed throughout the journey.
It took Hong Baobao about an hour to finally arrive at her destination.
The place that person was referring to was an abandoned factory.
At first, Hong Baobao drove around, but after a while, she couldn't drive any further in.
With no other option, she had to get off the bus and start walking.
Hong Baobao walked quite fast; she has good stamina.
She didn't walk for long before she arrived at the abandoned factory.
This abandoned factory is completely dark at first glance.
If Hong Baobao hadn't been so certain that there were people here, she would never have imagined that there were people here.
Hong Baobao's steps were quite light; she tried not to make any noise, and she walked very carefully.
Her thought was to be as careful as possible so that the people inside wouldn't find her. She wanted to try and see if she could rescue Shen Quan.
