The kidnapped Jiang Zhi was taken to a remote abandoned warehouse.
The warehouse was dark and damp, and filled with a musty smell.
She was thrown into a corner, surrounded by broken boxes and rusty machines.
The criminals removed her blindfold and ropes, but two people still stayed by her side to prevent her from escaping.
Jiang Zhi's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness. She looked around, trying to find a chance to escape.
She saw a small window in the wall of the warehouse. Although it was very high, if she could find a way to reach it, she might be able to escape through it.
A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.
She began to try to talk to the people guarding her. "Why did you kidnap me? You know it's a crime."
One of the guards sneered, "We're only in it for the money. If you behave yourself, maybe we won't hurt you."
Jiang Zhi knew that it was useless to reason with these people, she had to find a way to save herself.
She quietly observed her surroundings and found a sharp piece of iron on the ground.
She slowly moved her body, trying to get closer to the piece of iron.
On Shen Qingchen's side, he was anxiously waiting for the kidnappers' next contact.
Every time his cell phone rang, his heart would suddenly tighten.
Time passed minute by minute, and each minute seemed as long as a century.
Finally, the kidnapper called again, "Shen Qingchen, is the money ready?"
"I'm ready. Where do you want me to send the money?" Shen Qingchen asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.
The kidnappers told him a secluded place and warned him to come alone.
Shen Qingchen took the money without hesitation and drove to the location.
His heart was filled with tension and worry. He didn't know if this was a trap, but for Jiang Zhi, he was willing to take any risk.
When he arrived at the designated location, he found it was an abandoned construction site.
There was dead silence all around, broken only by the whistling of the wind through the dilapidated building materials.
He got out of the car, carrying a box full of cash, and shouted, "I'm here. As agreed, you release Jiang Zhi."
However, the kidnappers did not show up.
An ominous premonition surged in Shen Qingchen’s heart.
At this moment, his cell phone rang, "Shen Qingchen, you are really obedient. However, we have changed our minds and want to redeem your woman. Bring another five million."
Shen Qingchen roared angrily: “You bunch of liars, I have done what you asked.”
"Humph, this is our new requirement. If you don't agree, you'll have to wait for her body to be collected."
After saying that, the kidnapper hung up the phone again.
Shen Qingchen knew that she could no longer be led by the kidnappers like this.
He decided to call the police, as he believed the police were capable of finding Jiang Zhi's whereabouts.
He called the police and told them what had happened in detail.
The police immediately launched an investigation. They used technical means to track the source of the kidnappers' calls and dispatched a large number of police forces to search for suspicious clues in every corner of the city.
Jiang Zhi, who was in the warehouse, took advantage of the guard's inattention and finally got the piece of iron.
She quietly began to cut the ropes that bound her.
She moved very quietly, fearing that she would be discovered by the guards.
Sweat dripped from her forehead, but her eyes remained firm.
Finally, she cut the rope.
She stood up carefully and watched the guards' movements.
The two guards were chatting nearby and didn't notice her actions.
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath and rushed towards the small window.
She wanted to climb up and escape through the window.
However, her movements were still discovered by the guards.
"What do you want to do?"
The guard yelled and rushed towards her.
Jiang Zhi climbed up desperately, her hands tightly grasping the edge of the window.
The guards grabbed her feet and tried to pull her down.
Jiang Zhi struggled hard and kicked the guard hard.
After a fierce struggle, she finally broke free from the guards and climbed up to the window.
She jumped out of the window without hesitation.
Outside was a wasteland covered with weeds. Her foot twisted when she landed, but she ignored the pain and ran away.
She knew she had to get out of here as soon as possible and find a safe place.
However, the kidnappers soon discovered she had escaped.
They rushed out of the warehouse and chased in the direction where Jiang Zhi escaped.
Jiang Zhi ran while looking for a place to hide.
She saw a forest ahead and ran towards it.
The woods were densely covered and the light was dim.
Jiang Zhi was walking through the woods, her heart beating fast.
She heard the kidnappers' footsteps getting closer and closer behind her, and she knew she couldn't be caught by them.
She suddenly saw a hidden tree hole behind a big tree, and she hurriedly hid in it.
The kidnappers searched for her in the woods, cursing and swearing as they went.
"Where did this woman go? If she runs away, we won't get a penny."
Jiang Zhi hid in a tree hole, not daring to breathe.
She prayed silently, hoping that the kidnappers would not find her.
On Shen Qingchen's side, the police have already locked down the approximate location of the kidnappers through technical means.
They organized an elite commando team and headed in the direction of the kidnappers.
Shen Qingchen also went with the police, his heart filled with thoughts and worries about Jiang Zhi.
Just when Jiang Zhi thought she might be found by the kidnappers, she heard sirens.
She knew it was Shen Qingchen who called the police, and her heart was filled with hope.
The kidnappers panicked when they heard the sirens and started running away.
The police quickly surrounded the woods.
They engaged in a fierce gun battle with the kidnappers.
Although the kidnappers were vicious, they were no match for the police.
After a fierce fight, the kidnappers were subdued one after another.
Shen Qingchen shouted Jiang Zhi's name loudly in the woods.
Jiang Zhi crawled out of the tree hole, her body covered with dirt and leaves, but her face was filled with joy of surviving the disaster.
The moment she saw Shen Qingchen, her tears burst out.
Shen Qingchen hurried over and hugged her tightly.
"Xiaozhi, I'm so glad you're okay. I was so worried about you." His voice was full of excitement and relief.
Jiang Zhi sobbed in his arms, "I thought I would never see you again."
They hugged each other and cried. At this moment, their feelings became deeper after experiencing this life-and-death test.
They know that no matter what difficulties they encounter in the future, they will work together and never leave each other.
