"Auntie, Yue'er has been kidnapped! Quickly get President Chen's bodyguards to help rescue her. I'll send you the location right away. Whatever you do, don't call the police..."
The moment the call connected, Li Nanxing's anxious voice came from the other end.
Before she could even speak, the other party had already hung up the phone decisively, and then sent her a location.
Gu Baiwei's heart clenched instantly, and her hand gripping Shen Yanqing trembled slightly: "Yueyue is in trouble..."
"Don't worry, wait for me at home, I'll bring people over right away."
Shen Yanqing gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her softly.
"I'll go with you."
Gu Baiwei gripped his hand tightly, her eyes pleading.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally compromised: "Okay."
As soon as the two men and their bodyguards stepped out of the villa, several police cars came to a screeching halt.
Five or six uniformed policemen got out of the car and blocked their way.
Shen Yanqing stopped in her tracks: "Officer Li, what do you mean by this?"
"Mr. Shen, we suspect you of being involved in a murder case. Please cooperate with the investigation."
The middle-aged policeman, referred to as Officer Li, explained in a deep voice.
Shen Yanqing frowned slightly, his gaze falling on the few wary young police officers behind Officer Li before calmly looking away.
He took Gu Baiwei's hand and squeezed her palm: "Okay, I'll go back with you, but there's something I need your help with..."
Twenty minutes later, at an abandoned, unfinished building in the west of the city.
The sky was overcast, and a strong wind was howling.
The girl in the plain white dress was being choked by a middle-aged man who was a head taller than her, and was being forced to retreat step by step.
Her skirt was whipped up by the howling wind, fluttering wildly in the wind, making her look like a fragile butterfly, as if she might fall from the top floor at any moment.
The moment Gu Baiwei saw this scene, her blood almost froze.
She was about to rush forward when she was stopped calmly by the bodyguard in black beside her: "Miss Gu, I promised President Shen that I would ensure your safety."
Officer Li, dressed in a bodyguard uniform, whispered a reminder and stepped forward to block Gu Baiwei's path.
She gritted her teeth, finally lowered her arms slowly, and said to the man standing on the edge of the rooftop, "I'll agree to anything you want, just let her go."
On the way there, Officer Li had someone retrieve the information about the kidnapped man.
The kidnapper's name was Liu Yong, and he was an unemployed vagrant.
Three months ago, the old residential area where Liu Yong lived was demolished. Liu Yong was dissatisfied with the exorbitant compensation demanded and insisted on double the amount. He also incited all the neighbors in the same building to protest.
Later, considering various factors, the developer demolished all the buildings except the one where his family lived.
Seeing that everyone else in the same community had moved into brand-new buildings, while their building was cut off from water and electricity due to demolition in the surrounding area, there was a lot of resentment, and even his wife filed for divorce because of it.
Faced with insults and blame from his neighbors and wife, Liu Yong had no choice but to swallow his pride and go to the developer, Mr. Ye, to discuss demolition according to the original plan, but was rejected on the spot.
In a fit of anger, he started causing trouble downstairs at the Ye family's building every day and also spread defamatory rumors online.
After being arrested several times, he eventually found out that Ye Sinian had a younger sister, so he decided to arrest her to threaten her.
"We can discuss things slowly, please don't get agitated."
Officer Li approached Liu Yong discreetly, attempting to subdue him.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as they took a step, Liu Yong pulled Ye Chuyue back quickly with a wary look on his face, all the way to the edge of the railing. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at them: "Don't come any closer. Tell those bodyguards to leave here and call Ye Sinian, or I'll kill her."
Liu Yong roared furiously, his face contorted with rage. The dagger in his hand accidentally grazed Ye Chuyue's fair neck, and beads of bright red blood immediately seeped out.
Gu Baiwei's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately grabbed Officer Li: "Don't hurt Yueyue, I'll do whatever you say."
Li Nanxing clenched his fists secretly, his gaze falling on Ye Chuyue's slashed neck, his eyes filled with a mixture of self-reproach and anger.
It's all his fault; he should have taken her with him when he paid the bill.
If anything happens to her, he will absolutely make that damned bastard wish he were dead.
"Get these people out of here, quickly!"
Liu Yong roared angrily, his voice mingling with the howling wind on the rooftop, sounding particularly ferocious and terrifying.
Gu Baiwei bit her lower lip and looked at Officer Li: "Could you please take them all downstairs first?"
Officer Li hesitated for a moment: "But..."
The situation is too dangerous. How can he, as a police officer, let ordinary people face vicious criminals directly?
"Hurry up, tell them all to get the hell out of here!"
Liu Yong's patience was clearly nearing its limit. He grabbed Ye Chuyue's hair and waved the dagger against her carotid artery.
Gu Baiwei's pupils shrank, and she looked at Officer Li with a pleading expression: "Take them away first, and I will try to persuade him."
Before Officer Li could speak, a flash of white light appeared on the rooftop to the left. Officer Li's heart, which had been pounding, instantly relaxed. He secretly pointed to that spot at Gu Baiwei, indicating that the sniper was in position.
"Okay, Miss Gu, we'll leave now."
He took a step back, winked at the police officers disguised as bodyguards behind him, and they quickly left.
Liu Yong watched as the tall, burly bodyguards left, leaving only a frail-looking woman and the seemingly weak teenager. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and said viciously, "Call Ye Sinian right now. If I don't see him within half an hour, you can all prepare to collect this girl's corpse."
“I’m their aunt. Tell me what you need. I can give you any amount of money you want.”
Gu Baiwei stared at Liu Yong and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Ha, he ruined my family and caused my death, I want him dead!"
Liu Yong roared furiously, his eyes blazing with madness. If it weren't for that unscrupulous businessman, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
His tone grew even angrier: "Call him right now, or I'll kill his sister."
Watching his hand, holding the dagger, tremble with rage, Gu Baiwei was so nervous she could hardly breathe.
She forced herself to calm down and tried to persuade him: "If you kill her, your life will be ruined too. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your wife and children..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yong coldly interrupted him: "My wife ran off with someone else, taking our son with her!"
Gu Baiwei choked on her words: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your elderly parents."
Liu Yong paused for a second, his eyes turning even redder: "My mother was so angry with me that she died because of the demolition compensation issue."
A brief silence fell. Liu Yong, his eyes red, roared, "If Ye Sinian doesn't show up soon, I'll throw this girl down!"
After saying that, he roughly raised his hand and pushed Ye Chuyue over the railing: "Get out, hold onto the railing and stand still, or I'll kill you right now."
