Qiao Wanwan sat down next to the man. "I've found that chatting with Zaozao is getting more and more tiring."
"What happened?"
"It's probably just her personality," Qiao Wanwan shook her head helplessly. "She hasn't worked for a long time, and without a sense of accomplishment in her career, she lacks confidence."
"Why is she making such a fuss?" Zhan Jingting said with displeasure. "If you lack confidence, read more books. Don't let this affect your mood."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
“Jingting, she is my sister, it is only right that I care about her.”
"If she really considers you her older sister, she should know that you're not someone who has nothing better to do than follow around her all day long. She should be considerate of you and let you worry less."
“She’s quite sensible, don’t say that about her.”
"Let's stop talking about this." Zhan Jingting stopped the conversation. "Go to sleep."
"I'm going to wash up."
"good."
......
The next morning, Qiao Wanwan was still asleep when she was woken up by a series of urgent phone rings.
She reached for her phone, opened her sleepy eyes, glanced at the screen, and swiped to answer, "Xiang Yang, what's up so early in the morning...?"
"Qiao Wanwan." A voice with a voice changer came from the other end of the phone, "Hello..."
Qiao Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly. "It's you! What did you do to Xiang Yang!"
"It's really hard to find a loophole to threaten you with. I almost considered arresting your ex, but after investigating further, I found you have a subordinate you value very much..."
"Don't hurt him." Qiao Wanwan tried to calm herself down. "What are your conditions?"
"Of course... I'll take your life!"
"Boss!" Xiang Yang's voice came through the phone, "Don't worry about me! Don't agree to any of his demands! Ah!"
"Stop!" Qiao Wanwan's heart leaped into her throat upon hearing Xiang Yang's scream. "You know I can't just die easily, and even if I were willing, my husband wouldn't agree!"
"Then I have no choice but to back down," the other party sneered. "I'll send you my location, come over here. Oh, and bring that traitor He Songling and his girlfriend Xu Lai with me. Remember, only the three of you can come. If a fourth person comes, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Also, don't try to fool me. I'm not Lin Mo. If you dare to have someone impersonate you, I'll kill Xiang Yang immediately!"
Qiao Wanwan soon received a text message from Xiang Yang's phone.
She looked at Zhan Jingting beside her and said, "Xiang Yang has been kidnapped. The mastermind behind it wants me to take He Songling and Xu Lai there. The location is the abandoned parking lot where Lin Mo died."
“He’s going to fight us to the death.” Zhan Jingting gripped her shoulders. “Wanwan, you absolutely cannot go.”
“But Xiang Yang is in his hands, I can’t just abandon him.” Qiao Wanwan looked at him anxiously. “Jing Ting, I don’t know how Xiang Yang was captured, but it definitely wasn’t intentional. I guessed that the mastermind would target the people around me, so I specifically asked him to arrange more bodyguards. Now he’s always with bodyguards, and he doesn’t wander off unless necessary. He even stops going to blind dates. Xiang Yang has been cooperating with us. Now that he’s in trouble, I can’t just abandon him.”
“Wanwan, the mastermind is about to show up, so he will definitely not let us go. If you go to the appointment alone, you will be sending yourself to your death. I will never let you go.” Zhan Jingting threw off the covers and got out of bed. “I will arrange a rescue immediately and will definitely bring Xiang Yang back safely.”
"Jing Ting!" Qiao Wanwan called out to him.
Zhan Jingting stopped and turned to look at Qiao Wanwan walking towards him.
Qiao Wanwan walked up to him, forced a smile, and said, "I know I shouldn't go, but you said it yourself, this is a life-or-death battle. If I don't go, he'll be enraged and definitely kill Xiang Yang. If Xiang Yang dies, how can I live with peace of mind for the rest of my life?"
"You know the depth of my relationship with Xiang Yang. If he were to die for me, I could never forgive myself..."
"But Wanwan..."
“I know it’s dangerous,” Qiao Wanwan interrupted him. “There’s a good chance I might not come back, but I have to go. This is a rare opportunity for us to face the mastermind behind the scenes.”
“But I won’t go unprepared.” Qiao Wanwan took his hand. “I’ll find out his identity first, and you can bring your men to provide support later, okay?”
"Wanwan, is it really necessary to do this?"
"Yes," Qiao Wanwan answered firmly, "I absolutely have to go."
"I know I can't go against you." Zhan Jingting closed his eyes. "And I can't just knock you out and have someone impersonate you."
"Of course not, he won't fall for it."
"Okay." Zhan Jingting released his shoulder. "I'll go prepare now."
......
After washing up, Qiao Wanwan went to check on the children in the next room.
It was still early, and the children were still asleep.
Qiao Wanwan sat on the edge of the bed and leaned down to kiss Xiao Jiu's forehead.
"Ugh... Mommy..." Xiao Jiu woke up quickly, "Is it time to get up?"
"No, it's Mommy who got up early."
Xiao Jiu hugged Qiao Wanwan's neck, "Then Mommy, sleep with me a little longer!"
Qiao Wanwan lay down beside him, fighting back tears, and said with a smile, "In the blink of an eye, my little Jiu has grown up."
"Yes, my brother and I can protect Mommy now."
"If I could, Mommy would give anything to turn back time, to make up for the time we were apart, to watch you being born, and to watch you grow up little by little."
"Mommy, we have so much time left. Let's stay together forever and never be apart, so Mommy can watch me grow up."
"Yes." Qiao Wanwan hugged him tightly. "Mommy promises you, I will come back safely. Our family will never be separated..."
......
When He Songling was brought before Zhan Jingting, he saw Xu Lai, who had also been brought there, and sensed that something was wrong.
"Zhan Jingting, what do you want to do?"
Zhan Jingting remained silent, but Jiang Dong spoke up, "The mastermind behind this has appeared and specifically requested to see both of you."
"No!" He Songling said immediately, "He thinks I'm a traitor and wants us to go there to kill people in revenge!"
“Our lady’s friend is in his hands.”
"Just for a friend? Qiao Wanwan is far too saintly!" He Songling said angrily. "Her friend's life is precious, but aren't my life and Xu Lai's life precious too!"
Xu Lai, standing to the side, clutched at the hem of her clothes, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
Qiao Wanwan walked over and, seeing He Songling's expression, already guessed what had happened.
She walked to Zhan Jingting's side and looked at He Songling, "The mastermind behind this has captured my friend and is demanding that I take both of you to see him."
“We can’t go,” He Songling said. “Since he has hostages, you’ll be at a disadvantage. If you go like this, you absolutely cannot defeat him, and we will die with you!”
