The old woman remembered the uninvited guest from the day before yesterday, the young man who kept asking about the dress drying in the yard.
Oh no! This dress must have given away the fact that summer is staying with me.
The old woman hurried to the village store, where there was a telephone. She quickly called Wang Xiaobian.
"Little braid, something terrible has happened! Miss Xia Tian has been rescued!"
"Second Aunt, how did she get rescued? Does someone know that Xia Tian is with you?"
The old lady had been Wang Xiaobian's housekeeper for over thirty years. Wang Xiaobian was raised by the old lady, so she called her "Second Aunt".
“Xiao Bian, the day before yesterday morning, a young man who runs a business suddenly came to my house to ask for water. When he was drinking water, he found a dress drying in the yard. That dress was Xia Tian’s. I suspect that the young man knew that Xia Tian was staying here, so he deliberately knocked on the door to ask for water.”
"Second Aunt, you keep two big wolfhounds at home, who would have the audacity to break into your house?"
"Don't even mention it. My two big wolfhounds are lying unconscious on the ground, like they're drunk. I think maybe the people who came to rescue Xia Tian gave the dogs some kind of sleeping potion."
"Second Aunt, your dogs are all purebreds, how could they eat other people's food? That's impossible. Oh, right, I remember now, they must have used a tranquilizer gun to tranquilize the dogs."
"Yes, the dog must have been tranquilized with a tranquilizer gun."
Wang Xiaobian sighed and said, "Second Aunt, it's strange. I hid Xia Tian here with you, and no one knew. How did they find out?"
“Little Braid, after thinking it over, there’s only one possibility: you came here a couple of days ago, and someone must have been following you.”
Wang Xiaobian exclaimed, "Yes, I remember now. When I came here that day, it seemed like there was a motorcycle following me. But I didn't expect anyone to be following me."
"Little Braid, Xia Tian has been rescued, what should we do?"
"Second Aunt, let's just save her. Maybe the police will come looking for me soon. Second Aunt, you must stick to your story and say that you've never seen that girl before, and that she doesn't live in your house. I think if the police can't find any evidence, they can't do anything to me."
"Little braid, don't worry, your second aunt won't tell anyone. Your second aunt is old and not afraid of death."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaobian thought about it and realized that the problem still lay four days ago when he went to Chenjiawan. He must have been followed.
That day, Wang Xiaobian was restless, constantly feeling like he was hearing the sound of sirens.
However, the police did not come looking for him until that evening.
He was a little confused. Normally, if he kidnapped Xia Tian and she was rescued, he would definitely call the police.
The kidnapping case is a major case, and the police will not take it lightly; they will definitely summon him for questioning.
Wang Xiaobian was awakened several times during the night and had a nightmare in which the police broke down the door, pinned him to the bed, and handcuffed him.
He struggled desperately, protesting, "I didn't kidnap Xia Tian, I really didn't."
The police officer asked, "How did you know we were here for a kidnapping case? Obviously, you're trying to cover it up."
Wang Xiaobian suddenly realized that he shouldn't have tried to argue; wouldn't that be admitting guilt?
He was taken to a police car with only one officer in it. Halfway there, the officer grabbed Wang Xiaobian by the neck and said viciously, "You kidnapped my sister, you have some nerve! I can't let you live. Now, I'm going to strangle you. Then I'll say you tried to flee to avoid punishment, and I had no choice but to strangle you."
After saying that, the policeman grabbed Wang Xiaobian by the neck.
Wang Xiaobian felt like he couldn't breathe and was about to die.
He was awakened by the nightmare, and when he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by complete darkness.
He broke out in a cold sweat, his clothes were soaked, and he quickly got up, took a shower in the bathroom, and changed into new pajamas.
He couldn't sleep anymore and stayed awake until dawn.
Early the next morning, Wang Xiaobian went to Jiufa Company, hid behind a roadside tree, and peered at the company's gate.
He saw Xia Tian and his father walk into the company gate together, followed by a burly young man.
Wang Xiaobian found it increasingly strange. Xia Tian clearly knew that he was the kidnapper, so why didn't she call the police?
In the evening, Xia Tian walked out of Jiufa Company alone and slowly headed home.
A burly young man followed Xia Tian, keeping only about ten steps away from her.
It seems this young man is Xia Tian's bodyguard.
Wang Xiaobian's guess was correct. Xia Jiufa hired a bodyguard from a security company to protect Xia Tian's safety from eight in the morning to eight at night.
Wang Xiaobian was wearing a large trench coat, a baseball cap, and a mask covering his face. He hurried over, and as he brushed past Xia Tian, he said, "I'm Wang Xiaobian, and I'd like to talk to you."
Xia Tian was somewhat surprised. He glanced at Wang Xiaobian and refused, saying, "I have nothing to talk to you about. I'll let you off this time, but if there's a next time, I won't be so polite."
"Summer, I need to talk to you."
"Make a phone call and tell me to leave me immediately, or the bodyguards will arrest you."
Wang Xiaobian quickly took a few steps, crossed the road, and disappeared into the crowd.
Xia Tian's bodyguard jogged over and asked, "Miss Xia, who was that man who whispered to you just now?"
"It's an old classmate of mine from high school."
The bodyguard reminded her, "Miss Xia, please remember: if any unidentified person approaches you, I expect you to use your hand to signal for help."
I learned a trick in the summer: an internationally recognized distress signal is to make a distress gesture with your fingers.
"Okay, I understand. If I feel there is danger, I will immediately make a distress gesture."
The next morning, Xia Tian had just started work when she received a call from Wang Xiaobian.
"Summer, I sincerely apologize to you. My act of kidnapping you was indeed a bit rough. I'm sorry. However, I also hope you can understand. I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted you to come with me to Southeast Asia to see my factory."
“I’ve already said it, even if you have a hundred factories, I have absolutely no interest in you, let alone just one.”
"Summer, I know I made a mistake this time, and you must be even less fond of me. But I still want to say: I'm not a bad person, it's just because I love you too much."
"No one loves someone like you. If everyone loved someone like you, the world would be in chaos."
“Summer, please forgive me. I can kneel down for you, I can write a confession for you. If you ask for that, I can also turn myself in to the police. But I hope that after I come back from prison, you can marry me.”
“Hey Wang, it’s over between us. Don’t force me. I think you should find someone else. There are plenty of women in the world, and many good ones too. If you’re willing, I can introduce you to one.”
