Chapter 447 Get away! Don't touch me
When Tang Xiaoya woke up, she found herself with her hands tied behind her back, sitting on the cold ground.
This is a cave.
A sliver of light shines through the cave ceiling, which is why the villagers call this place "a hidden paradise".
Outside the cave, there were the sounds of whistling wind and rushing water; this was a cave in the mountain behind the village.
Her mouth was tightly sealed with tape, and she could only make muffled "mmm" sounds.
A tall woman walked in; it was Xia Ran.
Two tall, muscular men with fierce-looking faces followed behind her.
Tang Xiaoya's eyes widened.
Xia Ran? She actually kidnapped me herself?
What made her so desperate and crazy?
Xia Ran pulled out a sharp dagger and gently patted her face with the flat of the blade, her voice icy.
"Tang Xiaoya, it's really not easy to kidnap you. You're protected too well by Ajin, with bodyguards following you everywhere you go. If you hadn't secretly run back this time, I really wouldn't have had a chance to make a move."
Xia Ran's eyes were full of malice; she had been being watched for many days.
"Today is your death day. Do you think Ajin will shed a single tear for you if she hears the news of your murder?"
"Ugh! Ugh!"
Tang Xiaoya struggled violently.
Xia Ran knew she had something to say, so she casually ripped the tape off her mouth with a "rip".
"Xia Ran, what are you doing?" Tang Xiaoya shouted angrily, "Who are you trying to threaten by tying me up like this?"
"Now Yan Jin and Yan Chen treat you like their precious darling, afraid of dropping you if they hold you in their hands, afraid of you melting if they keep you in their mouths. Tang Xiaoya, you enjoy this feeling of being pampered by everyone, don't you?"
As Xia Ran spoke, she raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
"Snap!" A crisp sound.
Tang Xiaoya's face was slapped to one side, and it stung painfully.
"This face isn't even that good-looking, so how did you manage to make them fall for you?"
Xia Ran reached out and forcefully pinched Tang Xiaoya's chin, looking at her from left to right, completely baffled.
It's one thing if Yan Jin couldn't resist the temptation at first.
Why would even a top-tier actor like Yan Chen be crazy about her?
They spared no effort in using Sega Group's public relations resources to clear her name and even spent 300 million yuan to pay her breach of contract penalty.
Jealousy had long since driven her to lose all reason.
"Xia Ran, Yan Jin's fiancée is Si Nuan, why don't you go and kidnap her? What are you doing, being so arrogant towards me? Are you just picking on the weak?"
Tang Xiaoya sneered.
"You're making a big mistake by treating me as your imaginary enemy."
“I will not marry Yan Jin, nor will I marry Yan Chen. I’m already planning to retire from the entertainment industry. All your efforts are in vain. Nobody cares about my life or death.”
When Tang Xiaoya said those words, her heart felt ice-cold.
Yan Jin's attitude towards her that morning had already chilled her heart, let alone make her shed a single tear.
Yan Chen would be even less likely to do anything for her; they have no relationship whatsoever.
Little did they know, Yan Chen's car was already almost at the village entrance.
The plane that Yan Jin was on had just landed and was speeding in this direction.
Xia Ran gave a cold laugh.
"Yan Chen is almost here, you didn't know? Your plane had barely taken off when he caught up with you and came to Suzhou. He's been crazy about you for a long time."
"I want to see just how much he's willing to sacrifice for you."
These words greatly shocked Tang Xiaoya.
At this moment, Lu Qinglin was leading his men to search the village.
Suddenly, he saw two top-of-the-line luxury cars drive into the village. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the person who got out was Yan Chen.
Yan Chen said he received a call from Xia Ran, and that Tang Xiaoya was in her hands.
Without saying a word, Lu Qinglin got into his car and sped off towards the back of the mountain.
The car stopped at the foot of the mountain, and they saw the van.
Two bodyguards blocked the way at the foot of the mountain.
"Miss Xia has instructed that only Mr. Yan is allowed to go up the mountain. Otherwise, kill him immediately. Call the police, and kill him too."
After saying that, one of the bodyguards led Yan Chen up the mountain.
Lu Qinglin was left at the foot of the mountain.
He had already told Nanwan about the situation on his way here.
Nan Wan immediately called Yan Jin to tell him that Tang Xiaoya had been kidnapped by Xia Ran.
"If you can't bring them back safely, you can forget about ever setting foot in the Nan family again." Nan Wan's voice was ruthless.
Yan Jin was extremely anxious at this moment.
"Drive faster!"
He yelled at the driver, who then floored the accelerator.
Xia Ran dared to make a move against Tang Xiaoya in private; I hope she doesn't fall into my hands.
What is this crazy woman trying to do?
Inside the cave, Xia Ran received a phone call informing her that Yan Chen had arrived.
At her signal, the two men behind her immediately stepped forward and began to strip Tang Xiaoya of her clothes.
"Ah! What are you doing! Get away! Get away! Xia Ran, what are you doing?"
Tang Xiaoya screamed in terror and desperately shrank back.
"Xia Ran, tell them to stop! Yan Jin won't let you get away with this!"
"Sizzle!"
Her top was torn open, revealing her snow-white skin and a stunningly beautiful sight.
Xia Ran laughed, a maniacal laugh.
"Yan Chen is almost here. I'll give him a good show first. Let him see his pure goddess crying and begging for mercy under another man. After seeing that, will he still be so infatuated with you?"
"Let's get started!" Xia Ran urged again.
Then, the two men became even more frenzied.
"Sizzle!"
Her top was completely torn off, leaving her only in a pink lace bra.
This made the two men's eyes darken with joy.
This is a very popular celebrity!
They never dreamed they would get to experience what it's like to be a big star!
"Get away! Don't touch me!"
Tang Xiaoya screamed frantically, shrinking back in despair.
But she was held down firmly by a rough, large hand, while another man reached out to unbutton her pants.
"Stop!"
Tang Xiaoya roared with all her might.
"I'm from the Southern Gang! If you don't want to be hunted down by the Southern Gang for the rest of your lives, feel free to touch me!"
The two men shrank back in fright and didn't dare to move again.
Good heavens, the Southern Gang!
With hundreds of thousands of followers spread across the world, this terrifying force is one that will not let a person live past midnight if it wants them dead!
"What are you doing! Keep taking your clothes off! Go for it!"
Xia Ran roared in exasperation.
"Kill her in a minute, and the Southern Gang won't have a chance to get revenge on you! She's just trying to scare you! She grew up in this village, how could she possibly be a member of the Southern Gang?"
"Useless! Strip her clothes off!"
Xia Ran roared, "Yan Chen is almost here! How can we let the plot get stuck like this!"
The two men exchanged a glance, still hesitant to move.
"Xia Ran, didn't you find out? I just had dinner at the Nan family's house a couple of days ago. If you dare to touch me today, your Xia family will also suffer annihilation!"
Tang Xiaoya's voice was not loud, but every word was clear.
Xia Ran simply thought she was talking nonsense.
I had already thoroughly investigated her background.
Six months ago, she was a penniless assistant. If Yan Jin hadn't taken a liking to her, she would still be an unknown actress, vying for a role without lines in a short drama!
"Tang Xiaoya, do you think I'm going to be fooled by you?"
Xia Ran took matters into her own hands and reached out to take off her pants.
Tang Xiaoya seized the opportunity, suddenly moved closer, and bit her ear with all her might.
"ah--"
Xia Ran screamed in pain.
"You dare bite me!"
She picked up the dagger and swung it haphazardly.
Tang Xiaoya jerked back, the blade narrowly missing her carotid artery, but still leaving a deep cut on her left cheek.
The wound was about five centimeters long, and blood flowed down instantly, dripping onto the ground.
Tang Xiaoya felt a sharp pain; she hadn't expected her to actually swing the knife.
Xia Ran herself was also startled.
"Miss Xia, the person has arrived," a bodyguard reported as he entered.
"Take her out!" Xia Ran shouted angrily.
Damn it, the whole plan has been ruined, and the good show that was supposed to happen never got to happen!
The bodyguard grabbed Tang Xiaoya from the ground and dragged her out of the cave.
A cold wind blew outside the cave, and she shivered from the cold.
When she saw Yan Chen, she was first shocked, then her scalp tingled.
That's so embarrassing.
He saw me like this.
When Yan Chen saw Tang Xiaoya, who was only wearing an underwear on her upper body and whose face was covered in blood, an overwhelming rage instantly surged into his eyes. He wished he could tear Xia Ran to pieces on the spot.
He immediately took off his coat, and with a few swift movements, he had already taken down the two bodyguards beside him.
"Yan Chen! If you move again, I'll bleed her!"
Xia Ran reacted quickly and pressed the cold knife firmly against Tang Xiaoya's neck.
"Xia Ran, put her clothes on."
Yan Chen suppressed his anger and threw the clothes over. Xia Ran didn't catch them, and the coat just fell to the ground.
"You dare to hurt her? Aren't you afraid the entire Xia family will be buried with you?" His threat, squeezed out between clenched teeth, was chilling.
These words startled Tang Xiaoya.
"Yan Chen, are you really that infatuated with her? She's Yan Jin's woman, she and Yan Jin party every night, don't you find that disgusting?"
"Xia Ran, what exactly do you want?"
"I want you to issue a statement immediately, to announce to the whole world that I am your fiancée! Get engaged to me in three days. Come back to me!"
Yan Jin already has a fiancée, so she doesn't dare to challenge the Si family. Now, she only has Yan Chen left, and she must hold Yan Chen firmly in her grasp.
“Okay, I’ll make the call now.” Yan Chen took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Immediately issue a statement announcing Xia Ran's identity as my fiancée, and begin preparations for our engagement banquet in three days."
After hanging up the phone, he said, "I've already made the call. Come to my side, release the person, and come back to Qingcheng with me."
"To avoid attracting the police, you're a grown man, don't you have any legal knowledge?"
His reproachful tone was tinged with affection, leaving Xia Ran momentarily stunned.
She handed the knife to the bodyguard behind her and walked step by step to his side.
Just as she was a step away from him, Yan Chen suddenly reached out and pulled her to his side, gripping her throat tightly with one hand.
Xia Ran was stunned; he had tricked her.
"Push her down," Xia Ran immediately ordered her bodyguards, her voice filled with malice.
"Stop!" Yan Chen gripped Xia Ran's throat, increasing the pressure. "Push her over here!"
"Push..." Xia Ran squeezed out a single word from her throat.
The bodyguards dragged Tang Xiaoya directly to the edge of the cliff, below which lay the turbulent river.
"Don't listen to her, she's in trouble herself now! If you push me down, you won't be able to escape either!" Tang Xiaoya shouted at the right moment.
Xia Ran suddenly pulled a toy-like object out of her pocket and threw it on the ground.
The bodyguard narrowed his eyes, and without further hesitation, forcefully pushed Tang Xiaoya into the river.
"ah!"
Tang Xiaoya screamed, lost her balance, and fell into the river with a "plop".
The bodyguards then attacked Yan Chen.
Yan Chen's eyes narrowed, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw Xia Ran down as well.
"Ah!" Xia Ran's scream was swallowed by the river.
Just then, Lu Qinglin finally reached the mountainside, panting heavily.
The scene before him was Yan Chen fighting with a bodyguard, quickly defeating him and knocking him to the ground.
Then, Yan Chen leaped into the river.
Depend on!
Lu Qinglin rushed over, but the person was no longer awake. On the floor of the cave lay a torn shirt, the one Tang Xiaoya had worn that day, and there were drops of blood on the ground.
He ran out of the cave and walked along the river, dialing the number of the search and rescue team as he went.
Then I called Nanwan again.
The river was flowing too fast; such a large river has many hidden currents underneath, and the person who just fell in didn't even surface.
An ominous premonition surged into my heart...
