Chapter 268: Kidnapped
"Boss, this little girl is quite alert."
"What should we do now? The little policeman has already noticed us."
There were two people squatting at the edge of the alley, speaking in an unknown dialect.
The one called the boss looked like a young man with a handsome appearance. He was wearing a leather jacket and looked energetic.
The man took a puff of the cigarette at the corner of his mouth, and the smoke slowly drifted upwards, covering the gloomy look in his eyes.
"What's the hurry?"
"He's just a small policeman. We have plenty of time to waste with him."
"I'm worried about how I'll have to explain to my superiors. This order is urgent. What if they think we're too slow..."
Before Shunzi could finish his words, the man exhaled a puff of cigarette, moved his fingers, and crushed the cigarette.
"Urgent? The old woman was in a hurry to let her do it herself."
“Yes, yes.”
Shunzi noticed that the boss was a little unhappy and immediately shut up.
He Zhiyu always felt that her mother was a little strange these past two days. She was indescribably anxious, like a firecracker that could explode at any time.
Yesterday she just said she was going out to play with some friends, and mentioned that the other party was from the Public Security Bureau.
He Zhiyu said this because He's mother had mentioned it several times before, intentionally or unintentionally, asking her to make some good friends in school, which would be helpful to the He family in the future.
It was not easy for her to make friends with someone whose parents both work in the Public Security Bureau this time, and she thought He's mother would praise her.
It would have been fine if she hadn't praised them, but when she heard that they were from the Public Security Bureau, He's mother's face changed and became gloomy in an instant, and she directly ordered her not to go.
He Zhiyu had made an appointment with her friends, but she broke the show at the last minute. She was immediately unhappy because she was worried about how she would live her life in the future.
No matter how she acted coquettishly, He's mother seemed determined not to let her go out.
Because of this, He Zhiyu had a gloomy face whenever she saw her mother these past two days and didn't want to talk to her mother anymore.
The days were calm for a few days.
Xu Xiaoyue also specifically asked the neighbors around and found out that there had been no thefts. The alley was originally remote and not even a suspicious person had been found.
What happened that day, like a misunderstanding, quietly disappeared from their lives.
"Xiaoyue, let's eat chicken stewed with mushrooms today."
Aunt Zhang held the chicken in one hand and took out the key from her pocket with the other.
After opening the door, there was no sign of the girl in the courtyard.
Aunt Zhang didn't take it seriously. She thought Xu Xiaoyue was sleepy and went back to take a nap.
Pregnant women are always sleepy, so Aunt Zhang deliberately slowed down her movements, quietly burned firewood in the kitchen, and quietly stewed the slaughtered chicken.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms is a dish from the Northeast. Aunt Zhang read in a book that it is good for pregnant women to eat more mushrooms.
Aunt Zhang has no descendants, and she has lived alone all these years. She no longer expects any family happiness.
It’s just that now I have a companion, so things are a little different. At least I have hope in my life, and there’s someone to eat the extra food I cook.
Aunt Zhang was busy in the kitchen for most of the day, but the door of Xu Xiaoyue's room was still closed tightly.
"Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue?"
Even though Aunt Zhang was slow to react, she could tell something was wrong.
According to Xu Xiaoyue's usual personality, when he heard that she was working outside, even if he was too sleepy to lie down in bed and sleep, he would get up first to see if he needed help.
Besides, even if I was sleeping, I wouldn’t sleep that long.
Aunt Zhang shouted again while standing at the door. The room was so quiet that her eyelids twitched. She didn't care about anything else and just pushed the door open and went in.
There was no one in the room and the quilt was neatly folded.
Aunt Zhang looked around and saw a teacup on the table with unfinished tea in it.
She reached out and touched the teacup; it was already cold.
She called out Xu Xiaoyue's name twice but no one answered, and Aunt Zhang's heart sank.
She knew Xu Xiaoyue's character and knew that she would rather suffer herself than trouble others.
If she went out, she would definitely tell me.
The only possibility is that the girl was kidnapped.
Kidnapping sounds incredible.
But apart from this, Aunt Zhang couldn't think of any other reason to explain it all.
It was the first time that Aunt Zhang had encountered such a thing. She was so panicked that she could hardly stand. She had to hold on to the wall to steady herself and avoid falling.
The only thing on her mind now was how to explain to Yan Ye.
On the other side, Xu Xiaoyue's hands were tied tightly and her mouth was covered.
She thought she was cautious enough. She reported the case when she found something wrong and asked Xiao Zhang to reinforce the wall in the yard.
I didn't expect that she was so peacefully staying in her own home, but this group of people could break into her.
They kidnapped her in broad daylight.
"I put a lot of effort into this little girl like you."
Shunzi looked at Xu Xiaoyue's face again and again, thinking that this girl was quite pretty, with snow-white skin that might be softer than silk to the touch.
She didn't know who had offended her and was so cruel that he wanted to kill her.
Xu Xiaoyue turned her head away. She was too familiar with the look in the man in front of her, that disgusting desire.
"Hey, you little pussy, did I let you move?"
Seeing Xu Xiaoyue's disdainful attitude towards him, Shunzi pinched Xu Xiaoyue's chin with his big hand and turned her around to face him with not-so-gentle movements.
Shunzi wasn’t ugly, but once a person had desires and did something wrong, that clear spirit would disappear from his eyes.
As the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart.
The most direct manifestation of constant desire in the heart is turbidity in the eyes.
Xu Xiaoyue lowered her eyes. Everyone in the alley knew that she was staying at Aunt Zhang's house. If they wanted money, they would have to have been kicked in the head with a door before they would choose to kidnap her.
Judging from the criminal's attitude, it doesn't seem like he's after money, but more like he's after his life.
Shunzi saw the girl in front of him with her head down, looking submissive and obedient like a little lamb, which made him feel itchy. He rubbed her with his fingers twice and tentatively touched Xu Xiaoyue's fair face.
"Hmm."
Xu Xiaoyue shook her head and motioned for him to untie her.
Her mouth was covered, so no matter how disgusted she was, she couldn't anger the kidnapper.
"Little girl, I knew you wanted it too, right? Call me brother, and I'll take good care of you..."
Shunzi had a lewd smile on his face, and his eyes were glowing green when he looked at Xu Xiaoyue.
When he was about to take the next step, a kick from behind directly kicked Shunzi away.
"ah…"
The kick had no power at all and Shunzi's head hit the floor. Blood oozed from his forehead and flowed all over his face.
"Boss, Boss."
Shunzi no longer cared about the pain in his body, and crawled forward to hug the man's legs.
The man called Boss half-knelt down and slowly pressed the cigarette between his fingers directly onto the man's face.
When the scorching hot sparks fall on your face, the first thing you feel is not pain, but heat.
After the burning sensation passes, the extreme pain comes.
Shunzi was no longer able to speak. He rolled over and over on the ground, no longer as arrogant as he had been in front of Xu Xiaoyue.
Seeing Shunzi in such a miserable state, Xu Xiaoyue just glanced at the man quickly.
The man had a calm expression on his face as he looked at Shunzi, who was rolling on the ground in pain.
"A little lesson, you don't mind?"
The man downplayed the nasty act of burning someone with a cigarette butt as just a small lesson, in the same tone as discussing the good weather today.
Xu Xiaoyue's eyes were wide open, and she didn't even notice that when Shunzi cried out in pain, the joy of gloating on her face was almost overflowing.
"Oh."
The man was amused by her reaction and stood up to look down at her.
