Chapter 145: The Unspeakable Secret
After hanging up the phone, the kidnapper seemed to have lost his strength and fell down beside them. Lan Xin was so scared that she shrank behind Xu Chunian.
"I didn't mean to kidnap you, we just had no other choice." The kidnapper's eyes were filled with tears. "Three years, this little money is just a drop in the bucket for them, but it's our hard-earned money. Our family can barely make ends meet, we really have no other choice."
With a "bang", the door was pushed open again and an older man walked in angrily.
"Qiangzi, you are confused! This is illegal, can you do it?"
The uncle was tanned and his face was full of wrinkles.
The man called Qiangzi squatted down with his head in his hands, "Uncle, I have no choice, I really have no choice. My daughter finally got into college, but I don't have the money to send her to college. What should I do?"
The second uncle sighed helplessly, "Look at these two little girls, they are the same age as your peach. If Taozi was kidnapped by someone, what would you do?"
Qiangzi turned his head and Xu Chunian and Lan Xin just met him. There was a bump on Xu Chunian's fair and tender forehead, his hair was wet with sweat, and two pairs of eyes looked at him in horror.
The second uncle picked up the kitchen knife in his hand and threw it aside. "Second uncle knows that you are suffering, but how can you impose this kind of pain on others? They also have parents. Just because they have a little relationship with Qin Yuan, should they be hurt?"
Qiangzi seemed to have an epiphany. He looked at Xu Chunian and then at his own hands. His voice was trembling as he spoke, "Second Uncle, how could I do such a thing? Taozi said she wanted to take the civil service exam. What should I do if she has a criminal record? Second Uncle, I have harmed Taozi. I have ruined her life. If I die now, will everything be alright?"
A grown man, his face was covered with tears and looked weather-beaten.
The second uncle sighed helplessly, "Fortunately it's not too late."
He walked up to Xu Chunian and squatted down. "Little girl, I'm really sorry. It's too late to say anything now. I must have scared you. Qiangzi is not like this usually. I don't know what got him into doing such a thing today."
"A few years ago, we contracted a big project. Originally, I was going to retire after the project was completed, but the person in charge ran away with the money. Most of them followed us because they trusted us, so Qiangzi and I pooled our money to pay off the workers. Over the years, I have also done some odd jobs here and there. No one wants me now that I am old."
He sighed helplessly, "Qiangzi went to the person in charge to ask for an explanation but was also teased. He had no choice but to go to the head office, but he couldn't even see the boss. They said that the project was not Qin's. Both sides were shirking responsibility, but it was indeed Qin's person in charge when the contract was signed. He was really at his wits' end."
"Qiangzi's daughter has been working hard since she was young. He saw it all. She finally made it through and got into a good university, but considering her family, she refused to go to school no matter what."
The second uncle wiped his eyes and said, "I'm not saying this to make you feel sorry for me. I'm really sorry. I don't understand the laws very well, but if we send you back now, the sentence should be lighter. I'm really sorry."
Qiangzi also realized the seriousness of the matter and knelt down in front of Xu Chunian. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I really have no other choice. I don't know why I seem to have lost my mind today. I kowtow to you. I'm going to die now. Don't delay my daughter."
