111: Kidnapping

Kidnapping

"Ouch!" Qin Yan exclaimed.

Xi Ting also held his forehead by his hand.

"I am sorry!"

"It's fine!"

Qin Yan looked at Xi Ting and sighed, "I am sorry for the sudden intrusion and things that transpired after that." Her face turned red thinking about how she had rushed into Xi Ting's arms.

Xi Ting was amused seeing the little lady's actions, "It's okay."

"Thank you for helping me out today. I will treat you to dinner someday if you don't have any problem," Qin Yan said while bading goodbye to Xi Ting.

The latter did not respond in either yes or no. Qin Yan was also not in a mood to care about him so she left.

Unknowingly Xi Ting was starting to get attracted to Qin Yan because of her similarities to the person he loved. But he didn't know that when he would realise this, it would be too late for him to get out of this abyss.

When Qin Yan returned back to her place, she realised that her whole body was covered in sweat. She had no choice but to take a shower again. The shower helped her cool her mind and focus on other important things.

Then after having dinner, she took out her laptop and opened the email which she had got in the afternoon.

Starlight Entertainment was almost bankrupt. Some artists and managers were trying to help it up, but their abilities were limited and they couldn't help the company. The owner Xu Dong was facing charges and could not do anything. So finally Starlight Entertainment was about to be auctioned. The date of the auction was two days later.

Since Qin Yan had decided to acquire Starlight Entertainment, she had to win the auction at any cost. But her identity now would not even give her an entry to the auction hall much less to participate in it.

She also knew that her biggest competitor would be Skylark Entertainment which was supported by Hongxing Gang.

Qin Yan, as she had previously decided to hide her identity, did not think that it would be good for her to reveal herself now.

So, to fulfill all her requirements, she had no choice but to contact Yun Jian, her trump card.

Qin Yan explained everything to her best friend and said, "I want Wu Qi now. When will be the latest that he would be able to reach here?"

Wu Qi was a mysterious person who was the CEO of a top special effects company in the entertainment industry. Since he worked for her in her previous life, she could take his help. But the person he knew was Mo Ran and not Qin Yan. So the only bridge between him and Qin Yan could be Yun Jian.

"He is now on a mission in S city only. So you don't need to worry about it. I will tell him about this. Oh right, do you need any extra funds?" Yun Jian asked.

"No, I have enough," Qin Yan replied.

Since the auction was the next day and Qin Yan had decided to buy the Starlight Entertainment, she first needed to break the backbone of Skylark, that is Hongxing Gang. This was to avoid all the future trouble to either her or Wu Qi.

At an abandoned factory in the S city's suburbs:

When Qin Yan arrived, the two youths who helped Qin Yan in Gong Tianhao's case were knee-deep in their argument with a person—20 years old or so—lying on the ground next to them. The unconscious young man had a large wound on his forehead, and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.

Qin Yan swept her eyes over the stylishly and luxuriously dressed young man. "What happened? Is everything alright?"

The first youth referred to as Slaying seven answered, "Everything is going on. He is Wu Jingcheng's son, Wu Hong." He said while pointing towards the unconscious young man.

Wu Jingcheng was the boss of Hongxing Gang and had three daughters and one son; Wu Hong was his favored child.

Qin Yan nodded and was mulling over her further steps when a wave of groans was heard from the ground. Wu Hong had woken up.

Wu Hong furiously glared at Slaying seven. "Just who are you… Don't you know who I am? Who gave you the guts to abduct me?!"

"I'm telling you, keep dreaming if you want to use me and threaten my dad! I won't grant you your wish even if I have to die!!!"

The other youth referred to as Dipping Five stood on the side with his arms crossed and replied, "This punk was neither enticed by a carrot nor brow-beaten by a stick. He wanted to break the poison secretly hidden in his mouth as soon as he was captured and wanted to slam his head against something to kill himself but was thankfully stopped by me."

Qin Yan raised her eyebrows in surprise, developing a whole new level of respect for Wu Hong, "He's Wu Jingcheng's son, after all, so he's definitely a harder nut to crack compared to normal people."

Upon abruptly hearing a female voice in the factory, Wu Hong reflexively looked up in confusion.

Why was there a woman amidst these bandits? And her voice sounded so nice…

When Wu Hong saw the girl clearly, he was startled, and his vicious and bloodthirsty expression also became dumbfounded.

"Who… who… who are you…?" Wu Hong stared at the girl encircled by the two youths in a daze.

The girl was wearing an extremely simple black and red striped sports suit. Her hair was black as ink, her skin was fair and she looked cute with a baby face. What was most dazzling was her jade like eyes. She was just the type that Wu Hong liked, cute and innocent.

She had her forehead propped on her hand while casually sitting on a dingy metal chair in a lazy position, and her stunning and brilliant eyes were currently focused on him. She looked like she belonged to a world completely different from this bloody, dilapidated factory and the savage, vicious bandits around them…

This time Qin Yan's mask was of a different human face. She liked to change her appearances and because after transmigration she did not have much to do, she had developed different masks. This was done mostly to confuse Hongxing Gang and Skylark Entertainment.

Wu Hong directly asked the question on his mind. "Were… were you also abducted by them?"

Wu Hong's male protective instincts erupted instantly. "You guys are simply lunatics—not even sparing a defenseless and weak girl!"

The two youths were stunned by the insult, their faces darkening promptly. They were perceived as villains, but the person who ordered everything, she was actually mistaken as an abducted innocent flower by their hostage…

Dipping five put his hands on his hips and shouted angrily, "Are you fucking blind? She's the one who ordered us!"

"W-what? She… she's your boss?" Wu Hong was incredulous. "How's that possible…"

How could this fairy-like girl be the boss of this savage bunch?

"You're really… really their boss…?"

Only then did Wu Hong notice that this girl was the only person sitting in a chair, and these people held a very reverent attitude toward her.

Even so, he still couldn't believe it.

Qin Yan didn't deny it and calmly glanced at Wu Hong. "That's right. What about it?"

Wu Hong's eyes sparkled, and an unnatural blush crept over his face as though he was intoxicated. He blurted, "Can I… can I join?"

Qin Yan: "…"

Dipping Five: "…"

Slaying Seven: "…"

First of all, they were not a gang. They were just completing the mission allotted by the website. How could this guy join their compound!

An abducted hostage, Wu Jingcheng's own son, the heir of Hongxing Gang—he actually requested to join the people who abducted him…

Qin Yan mockingly glanced at Wu Hong "Young Master Wu surely knows how to joke!"

Wu Hong's expression became a little more dazed from the faint smile on the girl's face. He immediately retorted, "I wasn't joking! I'm serious!"

Slaying Seven coldly interjected, "Who do you think we are? Do you think you can join us whenever you want?"

Qin Yan turned to Wu Hong and gently pacified him. "Young Master Wu, we don't harbor any malicious intentions toward you. As long as cooperate with us, we'll absolutely guarantee your safety."

Wu Hong hastily stood up and responded, "I'll cooperate with you however you want me to, Goddess… Also, I don't want safety, I want to join…"

Qin Yan was at a loss for words. "About you joining… we'll discuss it later… Let's get down to business first…"2

At that point, in the main headquarters of Hongxing gang, Wu Jingcheng's phone started ringing. The caller was a strange number.

"Speak," Wu Jingcheng expressionlessly said as he took the call.

"Wu Jingcheng, may I ask… where's your son, Wu Hong?" A woman's languid and smug voice came from the phone.
