"Did you record everything?" Shen Qianqian asked the system in her mind.
[It's all been recorded.] The system replied, then asked the host with concern: [Host, are you alright?]
Bar?]
Heaven knows, it was nearly frantic when that bastard Lu Yuncheng was beating up its host! It only regretted not having a physical form to help its host teach that jerk a lesson!
"It's alright," Shen Qianqian reassured the system, but the throbbing pain in her arm was hard to ignore. The most urgent thing was to find a way to escape as soon as possible.
She looked around the warehouse; the windows were installed three meters above the ground and were locked.
The entire warehouse was filled with a damp, rotten smell.
Looking at the warehouse door again, it was probably locked from the outside. Even if Shen Qianqian wasn't tied up, it would be difficult for her to break through the door by herself.
It seemed that Lu Yuncheng intended for Shen Qianqian to be trapped and die here. For a moment, Shen Qianqian felt despair.
Will she die unjustly like in her previous life? Will Lu Yunzhi repeat the same fate after her death?
At the same time, Lu Yunzhi, whom Shen Qianqian had been longing for, had already arrived at the place where he and Shen Qianqian had agreed to meet.
Lu Yunzhi and Shen Qianqian originally planned to have dinner together at a restaurant and agreed to meet at a crossroads.
Before leaving, Lu Yunzhi glanced at the sky outside. It was terribly gloomy, so he brought a large umbrella with him.
He waited in the rain for over an hour with an umbrella, but Shen Qianqian didn't show up. The rain soaked his sleeves.
"Maybe Qianqian's business is so good today that she's staying at the shop to work overtime?" Lu Yunzhi thought to himself, but then dismissed the idea a second later.
That shouldn't be the case.
When it comes to leaving get off work, Qianqian has always been the most enthusiastic.
"Or perhaps Qianqian forgot?" Lu Yunzhi thought of this idea but then dismissed it, as Qianqian never broke her promises to him.
At the same time, his unease intensified.
In this situation, we should send more people to search for Qianqian.
Lu Yunzhi immediately informed Shen Yuan and Zhang Wei, and the three of them, along with their colleagues and friends, searched everywhere for Shen Qianqian.
As everyone searched for Shen Qianqian, night fell before they knew it. On Shen Qianqian's side, the warehouse lights were broken, and she was completely enveloped in darkness.
For a fleeting moment, she seemed to see a scene from her past life after she drowned—lost in darkness, unable to escape, the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.
Shen Qianqian was so hungry that she felt her chest was pressed against her back, not to mention that she was in complete darkness and felt utterly hopeless.
Suddenly, a loud banging sound came from the doorway. With a "bang," the door was pushed open, and a beam of light shone in.
Just before Shen Qianqian closed her eyes, she saw Lu Yunzhi running towards her: "Lu Yunzhi, I finally saw you again."
After silently reciting that sentence, she collapsed from exhaustion in Lu Yunzhi's arms.
"Qianqian!" Lu Yunzhi was extremely anxious, feeling a pang of regret for not protecting and taking better care of Shen Qianqian. Now she was unconscious in his arms, as fragile as a porcelain doll.
It wasn't until he carried her out and saw the bruises on her arms in the light that Lu Yunzhi became absolutely furious!
Qianqian's arms, which originally had no scars, now have red marks.
How could he possibly calm down?
Not to mention Lu Yunzhi, Shen Yuan and Zhang Wei, who accompanied him to find Shen Qianqian, were also filled with resentment upon seeing their daughter, whom they had cherished since childhood, locked in an abandoned warehouse and with her arm injured.
"We must find the murderer!" the three said almost in unison.
After taking Shen Qianqian home to rest, the three of them, afraid of disturbing her rest, turned around and went to the door to discuss.
"You've only been in the city for a short time, so you shouldn't have offended anyone, right?" Shen Yuan smoked one cigarette after another, completely lost in thought.
"Of course I remember! Your memory is as short as a fish's seven-second memory!" Zhang Wei complained about Shen Yuan's terrible memory, and then reminded him, "You forgot about the unlucky eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Lu family, those two jinxes, they wish my daughter would disappear from the world."
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Qi Ran and Lu Yuncheng's faces appeared in Shen Yuan's mind.
He suddenly remembered: "So it turns out that the ones helping that bastard Zhao Ling were Qianqian's older brother and sister-in-law!"
"You bet!" Zhang Wei cursed them. "Damn it, I knew nothing good would come of running into this couple!"
She added a further instruction to Lu Yunzhi: "Yunzhi, let me tell you, you can't side with your older brother and sister-in-law in this matter, or I'll drag Qianqian away from you no matter what!"
"Don't worry." Lu Yunzhi reassured Zhang Wei and Shen Yuan, "Not only will I not show favoritism, but I will also make them pay the price they deserve!"
"Mom and Dad, please take good care of Qianqian for me. I'll be back in a bit." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, rushing straight to Lu Yuncheng's room.
Lu Yuncheng was telling Qi Ran about his achievements tonight: "You have no idea how badly I taught that bitch Shen Qianqian a lesson today! First, I whipped her a few times with a hemp rope to vent my anger, and then I left her alone in an abandoned warehouse without food or water. She's probably starving to death by now."
Just hearing it made Qi Ran imagine Shen Qianqian alone in the abandoned warehouse, desperately waiting for her death countdown. No wonder his luck had suddenly increased tonight.
