The staff member nodded. "There was a case like this before. Someone didn't like the other person, so they tied them up to scare them. In the end, because no harm was caused and the other person turned themselves in, they were given a light sentence."
This statement is truly baffling.
Gong Chengjue had no time to care about the kidnappers' motives; he was only concerned about Su Ziqing. He hugged her tightly and heard her gasp.
"Ziqing, what's wrong?"
Su Ziqing shook her head. She had changed into a thin long-sleeved shirt. Since she didn't say anything, Gong Chengjue naturally wouldn't know that she was injured.
Gong Chengjue raised his hand to gently stroke her face, "You're injured."
"A little bit." She had washed and dressed herself and was no longer as disheveled as before.
But Aunt Lin couldn't help but speak up, "Mr. Gong, Miss is covered in injuries."
"Aunt Lin..." Su Ziqing wanted to stop her, saying that these injuries that did not pose a danger should be put aside for now.
Upon hearing that she was covered in injuries, Gong Chengjue gently lifted her sleeve and saw the various scratches on her arms, his heart aching with heartache.
Then he squatted down and pulled up her trouser leg, which was also covered in cuts and slashes, with dried blood.
He looked coldly at the staff member beside him, "Is this what you call no real harm?"
"Chengjue, I'm fine." Su Ziqing tugged at his clothes.
“Luo Jinhan.” Gong Chengjue looked at Luo Jinhan.
"Yes, Mr. Gong."
"Find those people, by any means necessary!" They think tying them up and leaving them like this will solve everything? Ha!
"Yes." Luo Jinhan knew before he came that the Municipal Public Security Bureau was paying close attention to this case, and that none of the kidnappers would be able to escape.
"Let's go to the hospital." The thought of her injuries made him want to tear those kidnappers to pieces.
It's best not to let him find out who's behind this, otherwise he definitely won't let the other party off so easily.
Su Ziqing initially wanted to shake her head, but after thinking about it, she realized that there was no point in her staying there for the time being, and besides, her wounds were indeed very painful.
She hadn't felt much pain when she was escaping for her life, but now that Gong Chengjue had appeared, she felt intense pain.
She secretly berated herself for being pretentious, then nodded, "Okay."
Thinking of something, she asked Gong Chengjue for his phone number.
"What's wrong?"
"Call my senior brother." If Lu Linghong is on his way here right now, we don't need to do that for now.
With the mountain on fire, there's no evidence left. The police will search for the kidnappers.
The call connected quickly, but Lu Linghong's tone wasn't very friendly: "Gong Chengjue, what's the matter?"
"Senior brother, it's me." Even through the phone, Su Ziqing could feel her senior brother's disdain for Gong Chengjue.
Honestly, they're not sworn enemies, so why are they acting like this...?
Upon hearing that it was Su Ziqing, Lu Linghong immediately changed his tone, "Ziqing, why are you using Gong Chengjue's phone... wait, how come he's with you?"
Su Ziqing glanced at Gong Chengjue, then said to Lu Linghong, "He came from the capital on a private jet, and then arranged for a helicopter to arrive in City A..."
Yeah, and that's how it happened. He got here even faster than the other guy who was also in City A.
Su Ziqing didn't know if Lu Linghong had suffered 100 points of damage.
"I'm a little injured and I'm heading back to the city hospital now. The wildfires here are terrible, and all traces of the fire have been wiped out. If you're on your way here, turn back now." Su Ziqing was worried that Lu Linghong would make a wasted trip.
"Okay, which hospital are you going to? I'll wait for you there." Lu Linghong was prioritizing Su Ziqing's health at this moment, putting everything else aside for now.
Any further investigations or similar matters will be handled by public officials.
After giving the hospital name, Su Ziqing hung up the phone and handed it back to Gong Chengjue. "Let's go."
"Miss." Aunt Lin had just gone out to answer a phone call and was now walking in with hurried steps. "The villagers said that the Su family's ancestral graves were also affected by the fire."
Hearing this, Su Ziqing paused for a moment, then nodded. "I understand. Safety is the priority now. We can repair the ancestral graves later."
Su Ziqing paused for a moment and then said, "Although this place won't be affected, for your safety, Aunt Lin, you should go back to your home in town first."
……………………
Hospital
Considering the injuries all over her body and feet, making it inconvenient to apply medicine, Su Ziqing asked Gong Chengjue's men to go to her house and bring her a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
At the hospital, when she came out after changing her clothes, even though Gong Chengjue had mentally prepared himself, he still gasped in shock.
Luo Jinhan even turned his head away, not daring to look.
The sheer number of wounds on Su Ziqing's body was truly shocking to behold.
Seeing Gong Chengjue looking at her with a silent yet distressed expression, Su Ziqing forced a smile and said, "It does look quite shocking, but none of the tendons were injured."
"What happened back then?" How could he have injured himself like this?! Gong Chengjue had the urge to find the kidnapper and whip him a hundred times immediately.
Let them experience what it feels like to be covered in scars.
Su Ziqing awkwardly began, "Well, it was a kidnapping, you know, my hands and feet were tied up, and my face was covered with a black cloth. I was on a mountain at the time, and when there was a fire, people's will to survive is always very strong..."
She briefly recounted her survival experience on the mountain, even jokingly remarking, "I really didn't feel any pain at the time. Indeed, in the face of life and death, everything else is trivial."
She didn't believe it before, but now she truly believes it.
“Then what about the other parts of your body…” he pointed to her body.
Su Ziqing shook her head, "I'm quite lucky. I only have a lot of scrapes on my hands and feet, but nothing else on my body."
The nurse has already disinfected her with disinfectant...
"Ouch, oh." All the calm and nonchalance vanished as the nurse disinfected her wound.
Su Ziqing was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, and she felt like cursing.
"Be gentle." Gong Chengjue wished he could take the pain for her, and said to the nurse with a cold face.
The nurse was completely innocent. "The patient has too many wounds, and they're covered in dirt. If we don't clean and disinfect them thoroughly, it could cause inflammation and make things even more complicated."
Su Ziqing's tears finally flowed freely. "It hurts so much. Which bastard just doesn't like me and did something like this!"
Kidnapping is one thing, but why kidnap someone and take them to the mountains near the Su family's ancestral graves?
And that fire, she now suspects it wasn't an accident.
It was an accident caused by a cigarette butt, but the cigarette butt... it wasn't accidentally not extinguished, but rather it was intentionally not extinguished?
Su Ziqing found this possibility quite unsettling.
Could they be planning to... burn her alive?
Her body trembled slightly.
"Be gentle!!" Gong Chengjue glared at the nurse again.
The nurse was speechless. She really wanted to say, "Why don't you do it?" But looking at Gong Chengjue's frightening face, she remained silent.
