Chapter 486 Kidnapping
During the time that Bai Qiujing was filming, Shen Zhichu dealt with Shen Qing's family members.
Shen Jingui died of rabies due to an infected wound, while Shen Jianchun and Wei Xueqin were trafficked to a black factory to do hard labor. Wei Xueqin was paralyzed and unable to take care of herself, so Shen Jianchun dragged her out to beg on the streets every day.
Not long after, the illegal factory was reported and sent to prison. Shen Jianchun and Wei Xueqin were rescued and sent back to the village.
Wei Xueqin couldn't speak clearly in bed but cursed Shen Qing all day long.
As for Shen Jianchun, he lived in a daze and never dared to go out after being sent back home.
Shen Qing was determined to give them 200,000 yuan to buy out their family ties. She changed her ID card after getting the household registration book. Lu Tingchuan also intended to change her life and make her completely become another person.
Even if someone really investigates Shen Qing, they won't be able to find out anything.
From the moment Lu Tingchuan helped Shen Qing change his name to "Chen Zhichu", there was no longer any Shen Qing in the world.
………
Bai Qiujing didn't tell Shen Zhichu that he was going back, but the director told Shen Zhichu and asked her to supervise Bai Qiujing and not let him slack off.
Upon learning that Bai Qiujing had returned early, Shen Zhichu also wanted to give him a surprise, so he booked a restaurant and prepared Bai Qiujing's favorite dishes, a candlelight dinner, red roses, and a violin.
Her body is no longer the same as before, and her hands are naturally no longer the disabled hands of the past. She can eat, write, work, type on the keyboard, play with her mobile phone, and of course, play the violin.
Her fingers were flexible and well-maintained. She touched the instrument and looked at the violin inside with a faint smile on her lips. The violin was her childhood dream. She thought she would never be able to touch it again in her life, but she didn't expect that she could pick it up again now.
Shen Zhichu touched the strings, then felt something, put the violin on his neck, placed the bow on the strings, and slowly closed his eyes.
The song she played live was Josh Vietti's single "Where Is the Love"
The cheerful and relaxing sound of the violin rang out, and the already quiet restaurant became even quieter, even the sound of the waiter's footsteps stopped.
The waiters in the restaurant who were preparing the meal watched intently.
A familiar melody flows slowly from the strings.
The carefully arranged roses around seemed to have lost their color, and everyone's attention was attracted by the woman on the stage.
Today, Shen Zhichu was wearing a red dress, which looked brighter than a rose.
Such a warm red color made her skin, which was already so fair that it almost reflected light, look particularly eye-catching.
The music could be heard outside the restaurant, and many people stopped to come in but were politely turned away by the waiter.
"Sorry, this place is already reserved."
Someone asked in confusion: "Is this a proposal?"
The waiter just smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm not sure."
A passerby said with some regret: "I really want to go in and see who is playing the violin."
If the person playing the violin inside was the popular actor Shen Zhichu, would the person in front of him be shocked to the point of being speechless?
Shen Zhichu stood straight, elegant and noble.
She closed her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and held the bow in her slender, jade-white hands. The romantic and lingering melody, with a hint of joy, made people unable to help but move their hearts along, thus feeling happy and listening attentively, as if there were hundreds of flowers blooming, butterflies flying, and honey pouring into their ears and sweetening their hearts.
The most surprised people were those who saw this scene on the spot. If they had not been silenced, they would have filmed and recorded the scene.
I originally thought that Shen Zhichu was just an acting actress. There were rumors online that she had a low level of education and entered the entertainment industry without even attending college. But I didn't expect that Shen Zhichu could actually play the violin.
Moreover, that emotion and melody would be impossible to play like this without spending time and effort to hone the skills!
If those online trolls who blindly ridiculed Shen Zhichu and others saw this scene, would their perceptions be overturned? Would they be humiliated?
There were also some casual fans of Chen Zhichu at the scene who were now directly upgraded to true fans, with their eyes inexplicably hot.
Shen Zhichu, she is really... really excellent.
There were few listeners around, and she stood there like a beam of light, attracting all the attention. She was confident, beautiful, and proud, and every move she made was full of charm.
After Shen Zhichu finished playing a song, she let out a long breath, opened her eyes, and found that several restaurant staff were looking at her. She was stunned for a moment, then reacted after a moment and bowed to them.
Applause broke out.
Chen Zhichu pulled out his phone. Bai Qiujing should be getting off the plane soon, right? Six o'clock would be perfect for dinner, as he'd take his luggage home and pack it up.
Shen Zhichu sent a text message to Bai Qiujing and looked at Sun Li beside him: "Uncle Sun, if you have nothing to do, go back and rest. You don't have to protect me every day."
Sun Li shook his head and said, "Young Master Bai asked me to protect you well, so I will naturally do my duty while he is away."
"He'll be back soon."
"Yeah, but he hasn't arrived yet."
When Shen Zhichu saw that Sun Li couldn't be convinced, she shut up. She knew in her heart that Sun Li was doing this for her own good and wanted to protect her.
"Then I'm going to the bathroom. You rest here and wait for me."
Sun Li nodded.
Sun Li naturally couldn't go with them to the bathroom. The restaurant here was booked by Shen Zhichu alone today, so there were very few people, and even the staff were not as many as usual.
The toilet had a separate door that was closed, and you could tell whether there was anyone inside by the door handle. Shen Zhichu went into the bathroom and washed his hands before going in.
As soon as the door opened and someone was found inside, Shen Zhichu reacted quickly and quickly closed the door: "Sorry, I didn't know there was anyone inside."
That's not right... She has booked this place today. Logically, only staff members should be here, and staff members usually don't use this bathroom. Moreover, although she didn't see it clearly when she glanced over just now, if the person inside is a girl, she would be too big and strong if she thinks about it carefully.
However, in just two or three seconds, Shen Zhichu quickly sensed a sense of danger. The quiet bathroom suddenly became gloomy. Shen Zhichu's body was faster than his brain, and he ran out quickly as soon as the door closed.
"Help..." She had just opened her mouth when a big hand grabbed her hair from behind and pulled her back. Shen Zhichu screamed with all her strength. Her hand had already grabbed the door frame. As long as she moved forward, she could get out.
Because someone grabbed her hair, she tilted her head back and saw a man wearing restaurant work clothes behind her. He had a mask on his face, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes. Her mouth was covered, and there was a clear smell of medicine in the palm of her hand.
After struggling for a few seconds, Shen Zhichu inhaled the drugs, his head became more and more swollen, and he couldn't scream. Finally, he fell into a coma.
The lights in the restaurant were turned off at this time, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
When Shen Zhichu woke up, she had already arrived at the carriage. The effect of the medicine had not completely worn off, and she was still dizzy when she woke up.
Shen Zhichu didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but just by looking at the dim light in the car, he could vaguely guess that it was around seven or eight o'clock.
The unfamiliar carriage and the dimly lit environment suddenly became eerie.
She tried to calm herself down and pretended to be still asleep, hoping to find out who had kidnapped her.
But these people didn't speak along the way. Shen Zhichu squinted her eyes and looked around. Including her and the driver, there were five people.
Shen Zhichu's hands were tied behind her back, and they had become stiff and numb from being in the same position for so long. She tried to find her cell phone but couldn't find it, probably because someone had thrown it away. She then tried to find the ring on her index finger but couldn't find it either.
In the eyes of outsiders, the ring is just an ordinary piece of jewelry. Now it is missing. The only possibility is that it was thrown away by someone.
There are two possibilities for being thrown away. One is that someone discovered the mechanism inside, and the other is that the person knew what was in the ring from the beginning.
A locator, a sharp blade that can cut the rope, and drugs.
He had used the drug on Lu Tingchuan before. If Lu Tingchuan had carefully recalled the process of his fainting, he would probably have guessed it.
So, could the person who kidnapped her this time be sent by Lu Tingchuan?
Shen Zhichu was soon discovered to have woken up, and the person closest to her was pulling her hair.
"If you're awake, just say a few words. Why are you pretending to be dead?"
"I was wondering why she hadn't woken up after so long since the drug wore off. Turns out she was just pretending to be asleep."
"Where's my phone?" Shen Zhichu asked.
"Of course I threw it away. Otherwise, why would I leave it for you to call so that the rescuers can find you by following the navigation? Not only your phone, but also your rings, necklaces, earrings, and hairpins. Forget about escaping. If we catch you, you can't fly away even if you have wings."
Shen Zhichu took a deep breath and calmed herself down. There were so many people in the car, and all her self-defense items had been thrown away. She didn't even need to think about the communicator. Now she could only waste time waiting for someone to rescue her. Pointless struggle would only waste her energy.
The atmosphere in the quiet carriage was eerily quiet.
Shen Zhichu spoke slowly: "Who sent you? What is your purpose in kidnapping me? Who are you trying to threaten? Or is it just for money?"
Shen Zhichu has many enemies. Although he has eliminated many of them, there are still potential enemies.
The biggest threats are Lu Tingchuan and Li Jingshen.
Considering Li Jingshen's methods back then, Shen Zhichu had no doubt that he was capable of something like kidnapping.
Lu Tingchuan is also very likely the one who kidnapped her. After realizing that he loved Shen Qing, he didn't want her to occupy his body, so he decided to destroy her if he couldn't get her.
Knowing that she booked the restaurant today and kidnapped her in the bathroom, it seems that this was a premeditated kidnapping.
But wasn't Lu Tingchuan on the verge of collapse? Li Jingshen had been concentrating on collecting shares lately, so how could they have the extra energy to kidnap her?
But not necessarily...
"You'll know when we get there." The people in the car didn't give her a complete answer. They all spoke their own words and soon fell silent. The car was driving very fast. Shen Zhichu looked at the road outside and memorized the route in her mind, in case she could save herself and escape along the road.
"Brother, she seems to be memorizing the way."
"Then cover your eyes."
Regardless of whether Shen Zhichu was willing or not, he directly found a piece of cloth to cover her eyes and tied it tightly, making her eyeballs hurt.
Including the three years since her death, Shen Zhichu's real age is 31. For someone over 30, he is still considered young. He has experienced a lot and considers himself knowledgeable. Even when facing kidnapping, he can remain calm.
The car turned around and around and finally stopped at a place. It was very dark around. Shen Zhichu had been blindfolded all the way and had adapted to the darkness. He took off the cloth on his face and quickly made a judgment of the surroundings. There was a faint smell of rust mixed with mildew around him.
This is the wilderness in the suburbs. It is already dark and the surroundings are desolate. A cold wind blows, making the leaves rustle, and the environment suddenly becomes gloomy.
Shen Zhichu was held by the shoulders and pushed forward. The red skirt she was wearing was wrinkled. The skirt reached her knees, and her slender legs were exposed. She walked down the gravel path limping in her high heels.
Her calves were not in good condition either. They were scratched all over by grass and branches on the roadside. It didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable. Now was not the time to worry about comfort. The key point was whether she could escape and wait for rescue.
It is not clear what happened after she fainted, and it is not known whether Sun Li was in danger.
The people who kidnapped her were all tall and strong, and their aura was somewhat similar to Sun Li's.
Looks like this is it.
Shen Zhichu stopped and looked in the distance with the help of the flashlights in their hands.
They took her to an abandoned factory, where her kidnappers were cautious and she was taken inside.
"Brother Song, I have brought the person here."
