Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 236 - : When She Was Young, She Would Get Lost...

Chapter 236: Chapter 236: When She Was Young, She Would Get Lost…

Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou were so close, and naturally, Pei Ya was paying attention.

From his observations over this period, he knew Li Hanzhou bore no ill intentions towards Qiao Yun, he truly cared for her.

Thinking it over, he said, “I’ll share my location with you.”

“There’s one more thing…” Li Hanzhou’s voice didn’t betray any emotion, “Did she follow willingly?”

“Yes, Professor Qiao had long been aware that someone was tracking her.”

Pei Ya couldn’t help feeling a bit of schadenfreude, thinking that if he couldn’t restrain Professor Qiao, it was uncertain whether Li Hanzhou could.

Li Hanzhou: “Heh…”

A naughty child deserves a spanking.

Qiao Yun was taken out of the car.

And more often than not, men not only fail to shield women from the wind and rain, but they also bring storms into their lives.

“Yes, my wife is amazing,” Bo Yan said with a gentle smile, rubbing his head against her cheek, “So when the storm comes, I’ll stand beside you, and we’ll face it together.”

Bo Yan didn’t even realize that in his relationship with Xia Siyu, not only had she changed, but he had as well.

He once imagined his wife to be gentle and beautiful, a good homemaker, a warm haven after his struggles with work. After meeting Xia Siyu, the wife in his mind was passionate and cheerful, but still could be weak and in need of his protection.

But what he hadn’t anticipated was that although Xia Siyu was outwardly tough and inwardly soft, her “softness” was not weakness, but confidence and the tenderness that came with independence. Even if criticized by everyone, she wouldn’t change her true self or go with the flow. She also didn’t believe that women should just accept male protection as a matter of course; instead, she believed in moving forward with respect for gender differences, side by side, fighting together.

She didn’t need to depend on anyone, nor did she need to ask him for anything. They were completely equal individuals to each other, seemingly too independent to rely on one another, but their emotional foundation grew all the stronger because of that.

He also gradually changed the person he used to be, willing to help her, support her, and in doing so, fulfill himself.

Xia Siyu muttered in a low voice, “I told you not to keep calling me ‘wife.’

Although it sounded like rejection, there wasn’t a hint of disgust in her tone; it actually sounded more like coquetry.

Bo Yan responded with a kiss to her cheek, “Go to sleep, we need to get up early tomorrow.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xia Siyu fell asleep instantly. Recently, her biological clock had become much more regular, and if not for waiting to see Director Sun and his team off, she probably would have fallen asleep much earlier.

Bo Yan looked at the sleeping person and couldn’t help but chuckle. He wasn’t sure if he should say she was carefree or simply single-minded.

It seemed that once she understood something, no matter how big the problem, for her, it was just a wave that would soon return to calm.

He gently brushed his chin against her cheek, but after all, he liked her clear-mindedness, her determination, and her never-give-up attitude.

Although it was a pity that Director Sun and his team arrived too quickly, the half-month Bo Yan and Xia Siyu spent together saw their relationship advance by leaps and bounds. First, they were registered with Qin Baizhou, and both teams were informed; it was like an internal public announcement. But this was just on the outside; what pleased him most was that Xia Siyu’s attitude toward him had softened, no longer as cold as in the beginning.

He sincerely hoped they would have the day when they could let go of all grudges and march forward hand in hand.

Yet he always had a feeling that when Xia Siyu left him that year, in addition to the reasons she had revealed, something else must have happened. Moreover, three years later, she agreed so readily to marry him. Besides his career hitting a low, there must be another reason.

That reason must be related to her mother and the Xia Family. But unless she confessed on her own, he would never be able to help her unravel her inner knots, nor truly accompany her soul.

Everything still needed time and more efforts.

“Hahaha, you’re right, and the more prominent her background, the higher the price. That’s the thrill those people are after, isn’t it?”

The group of people were full of mockery in their conversation, not the least bit ashamed of their heinous acts.

Qiao Yun understood.

This was a human trafficking organization, and the buyers were not ordinary either.

Their targets were always young and beautiful girls.

The transactions were likely taking place in international waters, hence their ability to evade the law until now.

Why had they targeted her?

Qiao Yun didn’t believe there was no reason behind it.

“Why kidnap me?” She was someone who asked whatever she wanted to know, and there wasn’t a trace of fear on her face.

This took her kidnappers by surprise.

How could this young girl stay so calm in the face of their threat?

Possibly due to Qiao Yun’s atypical behavior, her question was answered.

“Of course, someone gave us your information, but it’s because you’re pretty that you caught our eye.”

“Who was it?” Qiao Yun asked.

“First tell me, why aren’t you afraid?” the kidnapper asked her in return.

“You’re too weak,” Qiao Yun answered.

In fact, this wasn’t her first encounter with such a situation.

She had been lost as a child because she was kidnapped, nearly sold to someone with strange fetishes.

Luckily, she was rescued.

Later, due to some reasons, she didn’t return to the Lu Family, and instead was taken in by her grandfather.

Qiao Yun’s words stunned the kidnappers.

Qiao Yun continued to probe, “You should tell me now, who hired you.”

“Thinking of finding out? I just won’t tell you,” he said.

Laughter filled the surroundings once again, as if they found teasing her to be amusing.

“Not keeping promises is not good,” Qiao Yun said.

“You’re the one who can’t even ensure her own safety yet you worry about such things. Girl, rest assured, you’ll definitely be our most expensive merchandise in years.”

“I don’t like people who break promises,” Qiao Yun stated.

Qiao Yun spoke evenly, suddenly lifting her hands and pulling down the blindfold covering her eyes, revealing her pair of clear, dark, indifferent pupils.

“Breaking promises warrants a lesson,” she said.

The kidnappers didn’t even have time to be surprised; weren’t her hands tied up? When had they been untied?

An unknown object, thrown from somewhere, arched through the air.

The next second, choking smoke engulfed them all.
