Seeing his father running in anxiously, Zhou Bin immediately asked, "Dad, what happened?"
Zhou Jianming's breathing was a little rapid. He said, "Binbin, it's already this late and Xiaohua hasn't come back yet. I'm a little worried."
When Li Nan heard this, he immediately asked, "Dad, Xiaohua hasn't come back yet?"
"No, it's almost dark. Why hasn't the kid come back yet?" Zhou Jianming said worriedly.
Zhou Bin was not particularly worried. He guessed that Xiaohua must have been talking with her classmates and forgot the time. She might be back soon.
Thinking of this, he comforted his father and Li Nan, asking them not to worry and wait a little longer. If Xiaohua didn't come back, he would drive to look for her.
Although the two were anxious, they had no choice but to wait after hearing what Zhou Bin said.
After the three of them packed up their things, they hurried back home.
When I returned to the hotel room, it was still pitch black and Xiaohua had not come back.
Zhou Jianming paced back and forth anxiously. Zhou Bin saw that he could not wait any longer.
So he immediately drove to Xiyuan Village to see why Xiaohua had not returned yet.
Because he was in a hurry, Zhou Bin drove very fast and arrived at Xiyuan Village in 20 minutes.
Zhou Bin knew Xiaohua's home and went straight to her door.
When asked, Zhou Bin's heart tightened.
Xiaohua’s classmates said that Xiaohua left after lunch.
It's already past eight o'clock in the evening. So much time has passed. Where did Xiaohua go?
Zhou Bin asked Xiaohua where she might be going, but Xiaohua didn't know either. However, she said that Xiaohua told her that she wanted to go home early to rest.
After hearing what Xiaohua said, Zhou Bin immediately felt a sense of danger.
Since she said she wanted to go home and rest, but hasn't returned yet, could it be that she met an acquaintance along the way and followed him?
But Zhou Bin felt that this possibility was unlikely. There was another possibility, that something had happened to Xiaohua?
Thinking of this, Zhou Bin felt terrible. He had not expected that Xiaohua would have this problem.
The family was happy, what should they do now?
Zhou Bin drove back home without saying a word and told his father and Li Nan about it.
After hearing this, Li Nan's face turned pale and he collapsed on the sofa.
Zhou Jianming sighed anxiously, wondering where the kid had gone.
Zhou Bin hurriedly called the villagers together and told everyone the news.
When everyone heard this, they were all horrified. Xiaohua was actually missing! How could this be possible!
Xiaohua is the pride of the whole village and is the first college student in the village.
So everyone helped to look for Xiaohua's whereabouts. Everyone took flashlights and sticks and began to search carefully in the village and the surrounding areas.
Aniu, Li Jun and Zhou Bin went to several surrounding villages to look for Xiaohua one by one to see if she was at other classmates' homes.
That night, Beiyuan Village was brightly lit, and everyone, including employees of the scenic area and the hotel, joined in the search for Xiaohua.
At the same time, in a valley five miles away from Beiyuan Village, Xiaohua was shivering, with her hands and feet tied up, unable to move.
Xiaohua had a towel stuffed in her mouth and could only make whimpering sounds.
Not far from her, three people were squatting, smoking in the dark.
One person asked, "Mr. Qiao, can we really make money by doing this?"
Another old voice said, "Don't worry, that Zhou is very rich. It will not be a problem to ask him for a few million."
The person who was speaking was Qiao Shanxing. After he managed to escape last time, he fled back to Qincheng.
If Zhou Bin had not intervened in this matter, they would not have been defeated, and he would not have been like a stray dog.
Therefore, he hated Zhou Bin even more in his heart and vowed to take revenge on Zhou Bin.
He secretly sent people to investigate Zhou Bin and finally got a grasp of Zhou Bin's situation and whereabouts.
Originally they planned to kidnap Zhou Bin and extort a huge ransom.
But later I learned that Zhou Bin had a daughter who had grown up.
Now Qiao Shanxing had a clear goal. He wanted to kidnap Zhou Bin's daughter and force him to hand over the money.
Then he will torture Zhou Bin's daughter and tell him to mind his own business!
Therefore, several people have been lurking around Beiyuan Village in recent days, observing the movements of Zhou Bin's family.
Zhou Bin's family was still immersed in the joy of Xiaohua's admission to university, and had no idea that three thieves had been secretly targeting them.
Just like that, this morning, the subordinates came to report that Zhou Bin’s daughter had left home alone and seemed to be going somewhere.
When Qiao Shanxing heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly followed with his two lackeys.
They wanted to take action at the beginning, but they couldn't do it because there were people on the road.
So they waited until Xiaohua returned from Xiyuan Village and walked on a remote path, then they rushed up and caught Xiaohua.
After catching Xiaohua, they hurriedly tied her up and went straight into the mountains, where they have been ever since.
They planned to stay in the mountains for one night, and then send someone to sneak back to Beiyuan Village the next day to extort a ransom from Zhou Bin.
In this way, the three people talked while looking forward to the huge sum of millions.
Xiaohua was very scared, but she didn't panic.
At first, the thug with a shifty look found Xiaohua pretty and had evil intentions.
Xiaohua tried her best to persuade him, saying that if he dared to hurt herself, she would definitely die.
By then, not only would they not be able to get the ransom, but his father would not let them go.
