Chapter 64: Kidnapped
A middle-aged man in construction site work clothes suddenly rushed out from the crowd and ran towards Shen Qinghuan desperately.
Shen Qinghuan was completely stunned. Her legs felt as if they were filled with lead, so heavy that she couldn't move even a step!
By the time everyone reacted, she had become a hostage in the hands of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man held a sharp dagger in his hand, pressing it against her aorta. With just a slight push, the delicate skin on Shen Qinghuan's neck would be cut open, and then the aorta would be cut open, and bright red blood would spurt out of the veins...
At this time, Shen Qinghuan was terrified to the extreme and dared not move at all. Even though her legs were a little weak, she had to hold on with all her might.
She swallowed hard, looked at Jiang Yu slowly, and moved her mouth as if she wanted to ask him for help.
But her neck was tightly gripped by the middle-aged man behind her, her throat was burning with pain, and she couldn't utter a word.
Seeing that Shen Qinghuan had become a hostage in the hands of the middle-aged man, everyone became anxious, some called the police, some tried to persuade him.
"Li Zhu, don't be stupid! You must not do anything reckless! If you hurt Assistant Shen, you're done."
"Li Zhu, if you have something to say, please say it nicely. What you're doing is illegal! Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your family!"
“Hurry up and let go of Assistant Shen. If you let go of Assistant Shen now, this matter will be forgiven.”
…
"All of you, shut up! Shut up! Especially you, Zhang Liangcheng, it's all you! It's you! It's you who forced me to do this! It's all you!"
Li Zhu's expression suddenly became agitated, his eyes widened as he stared at those who had made him live a life worse than death.
"Zhang Liangcheng! I've already told you, my son is seriously ill and needs a lot of money for treatment. I beg you to pay me all the wages I owe you, but you, what did you do? You asked me to kneel down, okay! I'll kneel down! For my son, I'll kneel down for you, as long as you pay me my wages, I can kneel down for you, I can even kowtow to you, but what about you? You lied to me!"
"Zhang Liangcheng! You lied to me! You said you didn't have the money to pay, and you said the boss didn't give you any money, but you... you took the money and went to the best nightclub. Don't try to argue, I saw it with my own eyes."
Zhang Liangcheng, who was named by Li Zhu, is the person in charge of the construction site. The workers working here get their wages directly from him.
After hearing what Li Zhu said, Zhang Liangcheng couldn't help but panic, and even regretted provoking such a reckless person. But there is no regret medicine in the world. All he can do now is to quickly calm Li Zhu's emotions, otherwise his job as the project manager will be over, and General Jiang will definitely not let him go.
Zhang Liangcheng calmed down and said nervously, "Well, Li Zhu! Don't say that. I was just going to a social event. There was nothing I could do. But you, don't you just want to get paid? I'll pay you, isn't that enough? As long as you release Assistant Shen first, I'll have the finance department pay you immediately."
Li Zhu sneered repeatedly, laughing until tears came out, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Son, did you see it? Dad didn't lie to you. Dad has money to treat your illness. Dad has money..."
He lowered his head and muttered to himself, his tone filled with strong despair and helplessness, as well as thick sarcasm.
Shen Qinghuan heard his words clearly, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing Li Zhu's expression of wanting to cry but not laugh, Zhang Liangcheng was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, "Li Zhu! Quickly release Assistant Shen. Don't you want money? I'll call the finance department right now and ask her to send the money to you."
"It's too late! It's too late! Do you know? My son, he, he's already dead. Because I didn't raise enough money for the surgery in time, my son is already dead!"
Li Zhu became excited again, and he unconsciously increased the strength of his arm around Shen Qinghuan's neck.
Shen Qinghuan frowned in pain, but dared not move, for fear that the tip of the knife against her aorta would pierce her skin.
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at everything happening in front of him with seemingly indifference, but the heart in his chest was already in his throat. He never thought that just by taking Shen Qinghuan out to inspect the construction site, she became a hostage in the hands of others and her life was in danger.
Suppressing the worry and anger in his heart, he gathered his thoughts and tried to calm Li Zhu down. "Li Zhu, you should have seen that I am Zhang Liangcheng's boss. My name is Jiang Yu. You can tell me anything. As long as you release Assistant Shen, no matter what you ask for, I will try my best to agree to it."
"Or, I can switch with Assistant Shen, and you can use me as a hostage. You're not stupid, you should know who is more important, me or Assistant Shen."
When Shen Qinghuan heard Jiang Yu say that he wanted to switch with her, she immediately became anxious and quickly signaled him with her eyes not to do it!
If anything happens to Jiang Yu, grandpa and grandma will be sad to death, because no matter what, he is their grandson. They can treat her well, protect her, and pamper her, but she can never replace Jiang Yu's position in their hearts. But she is different. If something happens to her, they will be sad for a while.
Pian Jiangyu seemed not to notice her gesture and continued to persuade Li Zhu patiently: "Li Zhu, I will walk towards you now. When I get to you, you will let Assistant Shen go. I will be your hostage in her place."
As he spoke, he slowly walked towards them, step by step.
Seeing Jiang Yu approaching him, Li Zhu's emotions became excited again and he shouted at him angrily: "Stop! Stop right there! If you dare to come one step closer, I will kill her right now. I tell you, after my son dies, I don't want to live anymore. If you dare to force me, I can just take someone with me."
Shen Qinghuan was so frightened that his face turned pale.
The intense fear was like an invisible and cruel hand, tightly gripping her trembling heart.
Jiang Yu was afraid that he would accidentally hurt Shen Qinghuan, so he had no choice but to stop temporarily and patiently persuade him: "Don't get excited! If you hurt Assistant Shen, it will not do you any good."
After he finished speaking, he turned and looked at Zhang Liangcheng with a cold look in his eyes.
"Please explain everything clearly. What exactly is going on? Why hasn't his salary been paid?"
Zhang Liangcheng was shocked, sweat pouring down his forehead and he began to stutter. "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, I'm not entirely sure about this matter. I think there's a problem with the finance department. I'm going to call Xiaolin right now and have him come over to explain it to you!"
Jiang Yu's expression instantly turned cold, and the temperature around him dropped as well. He said, "You don't know? If you don't know, then how did you get the position of project manager?"
“I, I…”
At this moment, Zhang Liangcheng wanted to die.
If he had known that Li Zhu was so reckless, he would not have deliberately withheld his salary.
