Under the night, Qiao Ying entered the dense old residential area looking for that figure. It was dinner time, and the smell of food was in the air. The high population density made the gathered voices very noisy, which also brought Qiao Ying back to reality. Qiao Ying gradually stopped and stood still somewhat absent-mindedly, recalling that face and that person.
He looks so much like him.
Qiao Ying couldn't help thinking.
She turned and walked out, her steps gentle, her thoughts wandering.
Back in the car, Qiao Ying relaxed her body, leaning against the back of the car seat with her eyes closed, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a while, she opened her eyes, raised her hand to touch the position of her left shoulder. Without needing to feel carefully, she clearly knew that the old scar left by the gunshot wound from her previous life was no longer there...
Bai Xiao's incoming call made her immediately rein in her thoughts and put the phone to her ear: "What's the matter?"
Then, the black sports car became a sharp blade breaking through the clouds, shuttling extremely fast through the streets full of cars.
Qiao Yi was kidnapped.
Qiao Yi's phone also had a locator.
Bai Xiao drove following the locator all the way, chasing out of the downtown area. The locator on Qiao Yi’s watch kept changing rapidly, but Qiao Yi’s phone locator had not changed for more than ten minutes.
It just showed in a place more than two thousand meters away from Bai Xiao.
Either the person stopped or the phone was thrown away.
Just ahead not far away.
Bai Xiao slammed on the brakes to stop the car. On the roadside outside the car window, a person was lying motionless, not knowing whether dead or alive.
Bai Xiao immediately got out of the car.
"Qiao Yi?"
He squatted down and turned Qiao Yi over.
After examination, fortunately, the person was just unconscious, but had a lot of external injuries. How could Qiao Yi be dumped at the roadside?
Were these injuries from jumping out of a car, or from being thrown off a car by someone? The watch with a locator on his wrist was forcibly taken off, leaving two deep scratch marks.
"Qiao Yi?" Bai Xiao tried to wake the person up, but to no avail.
He picked the person up and put him in the car.
Then he called Qiao Ying again: "Boss, found Qiao Yi, dumped by the roadside, unconscious with external injuries."
While checking the locator of Qiao Yi’s watch, Bai Xiao saw the locator was still changing rapidly.
"Boss, Sack is in their hands. The watch on Qiao Yi's wrist should be with Sack." Bai Xiao guessed that Sack had probably exchanged himself for Qiao Yi. Qiao Yi's watch must have been forcibly taken off by Sack.
Hearing Qiao Ying tell him to take Qiao Yi back first, treat Qiao Yi’s injuries, while she goes to rescue Sack, Bai Xiao looked worriedly ahead and agreed: "Okay, be extra careful."
Deep in the night,
Qiao Yi woke up from unconsciousness and found himself lying in a hospital ward. He saw Bai Xiao keeping watch next to him.
The injuries on his body quickly sobered him up as he recalled what had happened - he was knocked out in a mall bathroom. He didn't know what happened in between, nor who the opponent was.
In his unconsciousness, he was awakened by the bumps of the car and the sounds of fighting.
He saw Sack appearing beside him out of thin air, and two other strangers. They were in a moving van.
Qiao Yi didn't know what was going on. He only saw Sack fighting fiercely with the opponent in the cramped compartment, a knife in his hand.
Qiao Yi didn't have time to think before quickly getting up to help Sack, but was almost stabbed by the opponent. Sack reached out to block it for him, and the dagger pierced Sack's forearm right before his eyes.
Qiao Yi was frightened.
The driver saw that Qiao Yi was awake and was about to stop the car to help his accomplice subdue them. Seeing the situation was not good, Sack found a chance to open the car door and threw Qiao Yi off the car...
Bai Xiao's concerned voice brought Qiao Yi's thoughts back.
As the fear and tension for Sack came in waves, Qiao Yi's face was pale as he anxiously asked Bai Xiao: "...Sack, where's Sack? Have you seen Sack?"
"Big Brother Bai, Sack was caught while trying to rescue me. He’s also injured. Please call the police quickly to save him.” He grabbed Bai Xiao’s arm tightly, afraid those people would kill Sack.
He couldn't clearly describe the location, he could only tell Bai Xiao.
"Don't worry, your sister has gone to find Sack. She will rescue Sack." Bai Xiao tried to soothe him.
"My sister? My sister went to find Sack? How could you let my sister go?" Qiao Yi was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend properly.
His sister, a girl, going to rescue someone? Qiao Yi looked at Bai Xiao strangely, seeming to doubt that there was something wrong with Bai Xiao’s mind.
"Have you called the police? Where's my phone?" He looked for his phone.
Bai Xiao said: "This is not something the police can solve. Those people were targeting your sister. Don't worry, your sister will have a way."
Hearing this, Qiao Yi became even more anxious.
Targeting his sister? How could he not worry? He also roughly understood why the other party wanted to catch him.
"Who are they? What grudge does my sister have against them?"
While asking, Qiao Yi took the phone and hurriedly called Qiao Ying, but no one answered.
This was Qiao Yi’s first encounter with this kind of thing. The bloody horrible scene of Sack being stabbed through the arm kept flashing through his mind.
It caused chaos in his brain, unable to think properly.
Clutching his phone, he suddenly remembered something and quickly found Qin Hanyue's number in his contacts and called.
This was the first time he called Qin Hanyue.
It was late at this hour. Seeing the caller ID display, Qin Hanyue thought he had read the name wrong. He checked and indeed it was Qiao Yi, not Qiao Ying.
Why would Qiao Yi call him in the middle of the night?
Qin Hanyue answered the call and immediately heard Qiao Yi’s anxious yet unable to articulate sentence: "Mr. Qin..."
Hearing this, Qin Hanyue knew something was wrong.
"What's the matter? Don't be afraid, speak slowly."
Hearing Qin Hanyue's steady, soothing voice, Qiao Yi immediately felt assured. He told Qin Hanyue what had happened and asked for his help.
Qin Hanyue changed his clothes and rushed to the hospital immediately. On the way, he tried to contact Qiao Ying but couldn’t get through either.
Soon, Qin Hanyue arrived at the hospital.
Sitting on the bed, Qiao Yi was lost in thought, worried about Qiao Ying and Sack. He kept asking Bai Xiao if one could lose too much blood from an stabbed arm wound without timely bandaging, and whether it could be life-threatening. Would those people cruelly take Sack's life?
Qiao Yi: "Should we inform Sack’s family?”
Seeing Qiao Yi’s anxious red eyes, Bai Xiao felt somewhat helpless.
He knew Qiao Ying’s capabilities. Although worried, Qiao Ying was definitely not easy to deal with, even though those from Dark Shadow had come prepared.
Yet now he was all flustered by Qiao Yi.
Just then, Qin Hanyue arrived with a group of bodyguards, sealing off the hospital floor to ensure Qiao Yi's safety.
Seeing the bodyguards at the door, Qiao Yi knew Qin Hanyue had the ability to rescue.
"I have sent people to look for your sister and Sack. Get some rest, don't worry." Qin Hanyue soothed him.
He then called Bai Xiao out.
After understanding the situation, Qin Hanyue became worried.
Dark Shadow had wanted to catch Qiao Yi but was disrupted by Sack. In the end they caught Sack instead.
Just capturing without killing. This was setting a trap for Qiao Ying.
With hostages, the injured hostage in their hands, Qiao Ying was in a very passive position. Qin Hanyue decided to locate Qiao Ying’s phone.
Before locating it, Qin Hanyue tried contacting Qiao Ying once again.
The first time no one answered.
The second time got connected.
