The Driver didn't know where he was headed, but soon he stopped, and then another person got on, also carrying a knife, and threatened Chi Yan: "Don't move."
Then he took out a rope from his bag and tied Chi Yan's hands, even putting something over his mouth to prevent him from speaking.
Although Chi Yan's heart was pounding, he remained relatively calm, his downcast eyes seeming lost in thought.
Then the person driving looked at him and said, "Do we have anything to knock him out? Knock him out!"
The other person took out a spray, "This will work." Then he sprayed it at Chi Yan, who passed out.
On Chu Yang's side, it had been two hours since Chi Yan sent her a message, but there was no further word. She calculated that it would take a little over an hour to get from the airport to the university, and even with traffic, he should have arrived. Based on past experience, he usually let her know.
Now she had sent him messages and called him, but there was no response, and when she called, it was hung up on her. When she tried calling again, it said the other party's phone was turned off.
What was going on?
Chu Yang suddenly felt anxious.
She immediately called Wei Feng and the others, "Has Chi Yan returned to the university?"
Wei Feng was surprised, "Is Brother Yan coming back today? We didn't know."
Chu Yang: "He said he had arrived at the airport two hours ago. But I haven't seen him, and he's not answering my calls."
Wei Feng also felt something was off. It was unthinkable that Brother Yan wouldn't answer the big boss's call. "Don't worry, I'll ask his teammates who came back with him."
"Okay."
Soon, Wei Feng got in touch with Chi Yan's teammate.
"Brother Yan? Didn't he come back a long time ago?"
"He said he was going to A University to see his girlfriend."
"That's right, he even bought gifts."
Wei Feng became concerned at this point and immediately relayed the information to Chu Yang, "They say Brother Yan came back a long time ago, but they don't know why you haven't seen him. He took transportation by himself."
"Okay, thank you."
Now that she knew the situation, coupled with her own growing anxiety, Chu Yang had a feeling that something had happened to Chi Yan, like maybe he was in a traffic accident or something.
Chu Yang made a hand gesture and then released her magic powers. Soon, she opened her eyes.
She saw that Chi Yan was in danger! Someone had injected something into his body, and Chi Yan was lying unconscious on the ground, with blood dripping from his forehead.
But she didn't know where he was.
Chu Yang was very anxious, but she knew she couldn't panic. She continued to release her magic powers and predict further.
She saw the roadside signs, the license plate of the car, and the logo on the dilapidated building.
It was in the western part of the city.
Chu Yang immediately had Jin Yang request leave for her, and then she left the university.
She first contacted Chi Yan's uncle, Chi Xin. Previously, when she had been in trouble, Chi Yan had given her his uncle's phone number out of concern, saying that if she couldn't reach him, she should contact his uncle.
Little did she expect that it would be Chi Yan who got into trouble instead of her.
"Hello." Chi Xin wondered who was calling him, as he didn't recognize the number.
It turned out to be Chu Yang. Chu Yang got straight to the point: "Yan is in trouble, west of Ethnic Avenue, the outskirts of the western part of the city, the dilapidated building with the Luweisi logo."
Chi Xin immediately stood up seriously, "What?"
Chu Yang: "Time is of the essence."
Chi Xin: "Okay, I'll have someone investigate immediately, and I'll take people there too."
After hanging up, within ten minutes, Chi Xin had assembled thirty of the company's "security guards" who had seen blood. "Follow me!"
His secretary had already investigated and said, "The outskirts of Wenhua Village, there's a dilapidated building there."
"Let's go there immediately. Send this address to that phone number."
"Yes."
Chu Yang soon received the address, and then she had her Driver hurry over, even offering extra money for him to speed up while still obeying the law.
The Driver was an experienced one. After taking the money, his expression turned serious, and the car sped off, disappearing from sight in an instant.
About half an hour later, Chu Yang arrived near the destination. After getting out of the car, she told the Driver to leave. "You can go, uncle."
Looking at the desolate surroundings, the Driver hesitated and said, "Miss, this remote place is dangerous. You're not up to anything, are you?"
Chu Yang: "My home is in the village over there. I'll take the small path back. You can go back first."
"Okay."
Chu Yang didn't bother with him anymore and headed down the small path. The Driver was about to start the car and leave, but then he thought, since the village was in that direction, why didn't she just let him drive her there directly? Why take the small path?
He decided to wait ten minutes and see.
Chu Yang made her way through the bushes and trees, then arrived at the dilapidated building.
By this time, Chi Yan had woken up, with three people standing in front of him. One of them was gesturing at Chi Yan's face with a knife, "This pretty boy's face looks nice. Let me mar it."
Another person lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "What's the rush? We haven't gotten the money yet. What if defacing him makes him worthless?"
"Right, right, take pictures quickly and show them to his uncle."
"Yeah. Once we get the money, we'll..." The man made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Is everything ready? We won't be discovered, right?"
"No, we've covered our tracks."
Hearing their words, Chi Yan realized these people wanted money, which meant he still had a chance to save himself.
They took photos of him and then went outside to wait.
Soon after, Chi Xin received the photos and demand from the kidnappers, "Wire three million US dollars to this account immediately. We need to receive the money within half an hour, or else..."
They didn't finish, but the implication was clear.
The Secretary quickly operated the computer, "It's an overseas account. We can't trace the person."
Chi Xin nodded, "Hurry over there." Half an hour was enough time.
"Yes."
"Have the police been notified?"
"The police have been notified."
"Good."
From a hidden corner, Chu Yang observed the three people standing guard. She took a photo with her phone and sent it to Chi Xin's side.
Chi Xin soon received it and had someone investigate the people in the photo.
The Secretary said, "It seems to be people from the Zuoyou Group." The Zuoyou Group was a drug trafficking organization.
Chi Xin narrowed his eyes. "They actually dare to mess with my family. Send this to the police."
"Yes."
As for Chu Yang, Chi Xin wasn't worried at all. In fact, he was grateful. If not for her, they would be clueless and reactive. His nephew's girlfriend was a good catch.
Chu Yang kept observing. One person slipped into the bushes, probably to use the bathroom, while another went upstairs to keep watch.
Chu Yang seized this opportunity to sneak in. On Chi Yan's side, when the kidnappers weren't looking, he had already started untying the ropes binding his hands. His uncle had taught him how to undo these kinds of knots.
In about two minutes, Chi Yan had untied his hands and then his feet.
The kidnappers seemed to hear some noise and immediately came in to check, only to find that the captive had freed himself. They shouted and charged at Chi Yan.
