My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 514: After modification - 523 Kidnapping

"Sorry, I’m afraid that’s not possible." Shi Yi paused and continued, "How about another day? We’ll talk when I get back."

Even though she wasn’t fond of Leng Yixiu, Lei Man and Leng’s were in a cooperative relationship now, so it wouldn’t be good to fall out with Leng Yixiu. Therefore, Shi Yi left some room for maneuver when she spoke.

There was sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and after a long while, Shi Yi heard the man’s low voice, "Alright, then I won’t disturb you, Miss Shi."

Shi Yi frowned slightly. For some reason, she felt a trace of sadness in his voice, though he tried his best to hide it, she still picked up on it.

Recalling Leng Yixiu’s hurried departure from the ball, Shi Yi couldn’t help but wonder if this man had encountered some trouble. Although she wasn’t familiar with Leng Yixiu, in her impression, this man was always calm and composed, never like this.

On an impulse, she was just about to ask when the man had already hung up the phone. Shi Yi stared at the locked phone screen for a few seconds, feeling helplessly amused.

What was she doing? Leng Yixiu had no relationship with her. Even if he did encounter some trouble, what did it have to do with her?

Shengde Hospital...

Leng Yixiu let his arm drop weakly. He stood outside the ward for a long time before he slowly turned and pushed open the ward door.

Inside the ward, Xiao Yi Xun had already been coaxed to sleep by Sister Yi. Leng Yixiu walked gently to Sister Yi’s side and said in a deep voice, "I’ll stay here, you go and rest."

Sister Yi nodded and then left the ward.

For a moment, the large ward was left with only Leng Yixiu and Xiao Yi Xun. The man leaned over and sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze falling on the little girl on the bed. In her sleep, she looked like a little angel, so beautiful it made one’s heart melt.

The man slowly reached out his hand, his fingers lightly caressing Xiao Yi Xun’s little face. Her eyebrows and eyes were very much like her mother’s; when she smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons, as if they were speaking.

Since Lin Yixun left, Xiao Yi Xun had become his entire world, his only solace in this world. The man pressed his face tightly against Xiao Yi Xun’s cheek, closing his eyes in deep pain.

What should he do to keep this beauty in his life? What should he do to prevent his little angel from suffering from illness?

Leng Yixiu gently kissed Xiao Yi Xun’s forehead, whispering, "Baby, Daddy will definitely bring Mommy back."

...

Shi Yi was sleepless that night. For some reason, she couldn’t calm her mind. She tossed and turned for most of the night without truly falling asleep. Consequently, the next day, she could only leave home with panda eyes.

As she left, she yawned, weakly dragging her suitcase out the door, feeling like her whole body was floating. It wasn’t until she got out of the elevator that she started to wake up a bit.

From the neighborhood to the airport was a bit of a distance. Shi Yi booked a car and when she went downstairs, the car had been waiting at the entrance for a while. Due to her poor mental state, Shi Yi didn’t check the license plate as she got into the car.

Little did she know, the car she got into was not the one she had booked.

Sitting in the car, Shi Yi didn’t think much about it and instead leaned lazily against the back seat, closing her eyes to rest. Once she closed her eyes, she couldn’t help but start to doze off.

She didn’t know how long had passed before she was suddenly jolted awake. She slowly opened her eyes, and as soon as her gaze landed on the scenery outside the window, her drowsiness instantly vanished.

Why was there a cornfield outside the car window? And why was the road so uneven?

Although Shi Yi wasn’t familiar with T City, she wasn’t an idiot. From the airport to the city center, there was a direct highway, and no matter how poor the road conditions were, it wouldn’t be like this.

Shi Yi couldn’t help but ask, "Driver, did we take the wrong road?"

But she waited for a long time and received no response from the driver in the front seat. Seeing the driver’s reaction, an uneasy premonition suddenly rose in Shi Yi’s heart.

She suppressed her inner panic and forced herself to stay calm, speaking in a steady voice, "Driver, please stop the car! I want to get out!"

The driver still didn’t respond.

Shi Yi had already confirmed that there was definitely something wrong with this driver. She hurriedly reached into her bag to grab her phone and shouted, "I said stop the car! Did you hear me? If you don’t stop, I’ll call the police!"

This time, the driver in the front seat finally reacted. He spoke indifferently, "You want to call the police? That depends on whether your call can go through."

Hearing this, Shi Yi’s heart tightened. She glanced down at her phone screen and, sure enough, there was no signal. Although they weren’t in the city center, they weren’t far from it. There shouldn’t be no signal. The only possibility was that there was a signal jammer in the car. It was clear that the other party was prepared.

Just as Shi Yi was lost in thought, accompanied by a screeching brake sound, the black sedan kicked up a cloud of dust on the country road and then came to a steady stop.

Seeing this, Shi Yi snapped back to reality. She quickly reached out, trying to open the car door and escape, but the other party’s speed seemed to be faster than hers. As she opened the door, a long arm reached out and grabbed her arm.

Shi Yi was caught off guard and was grabbed firmly. Her eyes darkened as she tried to use the self-defense techniques she had learned previously to break free from the man’s grip. However, in the next moment, a gun was pressed against her temple.

"Don’t move!"

Shi Yi glanced at the gun by the side of her face with her peripheral vision. It was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and it was inevitable that she would be a bit scared. She forced herself to calm down, her mind racing to think of the next step.

She thought, with her amateur self-defense skills, she definitely couldn’t match the man’s gun. So, fighting back wouldn’t be a wise choice; looking at the desolate surroundings, it wasn’t likely anyone would hear her if she called for help. She might be game over before help even arrived.

In that case, there was probably only one option left now—stall for time and wait for a passing vehicle. She could call for help then.

She thought, this person kidnapped her, either for money or for her appearance. So, she should start from that angle.

With this in mind, Shi Yi tentatively said, "Sir, my bag is in the car. There’s a few thousand yuan in it. If you want it, take it."

"I’m not interested in the money in your pocket," the man said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Shi Yi’s heart sank suddenly. If the man wasn’t interested in her money, could it be that he coveted her beauty? This... could be troublesome.

The man seemed to perceive her thoughts and grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, "Don’t worry, although your face is quite attractive, I won’t touch you for now. If I do, it’ll be after I’ve used you."
