Chapter 77 Miss Su Was Abducted!
“Excuse me, I just remembered that I left my bag behind in the private room I was in earlier. I’d like to go back and take it.” Su Ziyue leaned against the door and kept close to An Xia.
Although nothing had actually taken place, for some reason, the air inside the room felt suffocating and tense, as if peril lay ahead. Nervously, An Xia muttered next to Su Ziyue’s ears, “Damn it, what’s the department manager trying to do? Could she be into women and she just happens to be interested in you?”
“Impossible.” Su Ziyue rolled her eyes at her, unable to believe that she could still think of such ridiculous stuff at this time.
“Then, what’s she trying to do? I already find her pasty face and scrawny body rather scary during normal times, but now, she just looks even scarier.”
While she was talking, she leaned closer to Su Ziyue.
The department manager approached Su Ziyue and grabbed her arm with her hand. “Why do you look so terrified? You were just invited here to discuss work with us. It’s not like I’m going to eat you.”
Her hands felt so icy and chilly that Su Ziyue felt as though a snake had just slithered over her arms, which was a disgusting and revolting sensation to her.
Su Ziyue retrieved her arm in a sudden movement and said, “I can walk myself there.”
The doors of all the private rooms in nightclubs were usually left unlocked. Since the door could not be opened, it had obviously been locked from the outside.
She was sure they were not here purely for business since they locked her and An Xia in here.
Seeing her reaction, the department manager did not take her to the sofa by force. Her face eerily pale, she glanced at Su Ziyue before walking back to the sofa. “Come on then.”
“Are you really going over there?” Noticing that Su Ziyue was moving forward, An Xia quickly asked, “Ziyue, it’s so obvious that that lady is up to no good. Hurry up and call Mr. Qin or we’ll be doomed.”
Su Ziyue froze at her suggestion. Qin Muchen was indeed at Lumiere Jade House right now, and she also had her phone in her handbag.
She should be able to make the call successfully as long as she was careful enough.
Also, for some reason, she felt confident that Qin Muchen would not leave her behind without doing anything as long as she called him to ask for help.
“Do it now!” An Xia urged behind her.
Su Ziyue kept her lips tightly pursed as she was in a quandary. The discussion she had had with him that day ended in a very ugly way. Wasn’t she going to embarrass herself by calling him now?
How he had decided to roll up the car window as soon as he saw her during their previous encounter and how aloof he had behaved when they met in the male restroom just now were sufficient evidence to show that she was indeed not the only woman he was going to be interested in.
As she was not moving, the department manager’s face fell. “What an indecisive and wishy-washy girl you are.”
As soon as her voice trailed off, the two men rose to their feet and walked over to Su Ziyue.
An idea struck Su Ziyue all of a sudden. “Manager, did Su Yige ask you to do this?”
“What’re you guys waiting for? Do it now!” the department manager roared at the two men.
The men immediately advanced on Su Ziyue and captured her right away.
Prior to this, Su Ziyue was able to successfully beat Mu Ninghui up so badly that he could not fight back only because one of his legs was crippled and the fact that she had ambushed him.
Now that she was detained by two tall and strong men, she was not capable of fighting back at all.
In response to this, An Xia immediately grabbed her handbag and flung it at one of the men forcefully. “What’re you guys doing?! Let her go!”
“Shut up!” The department manager swiftly walked over and slapped An Xia’s cheek. “I might decide to let you go tonight if you keep quiet and say nothing because our target is Su Ziyue. Otherwise…”
She shot An Xia a menacing look.
Covering her face, An Xia’s eyes widened to the size of saucers. “You old witch, how dare you slap me?!”
With that, An Xia tossed her handbag aside before pulling the department manager’s hair with one hand and scratching her face viciously with the other.
“Argh!! Let go of me, you b*tch! Let go of me now!”
Perhaps it was because the department manager was too skinny, she soon proved to be no match to An Xia although she was taller than An Xia by half a head.
Straddling her body, An Xia gave her face several vicious slaps. “How dare you slap me! Even my mother has never slapped me before!”
“What’re you guys doing?!”
Su Ziyue’s shrill shriek came from the other side of the room.
An Xia quickly turned around to find that one of the guys was keeping Su Ziyue still while the other was about to inject something into her arm with a syringe in his hand.
That was…
Horrorstruck, An Xia shouted, “Stop whatever you guys are doing right now!”
Just as she was about to get to her feet to help Su Ziyue, she was once again held back by the department manager.
Her face distorted with desperation and resentment, the department manager mustered all the strength she had to stop her. “You can’t help her! No one can stop me from getting my 5 million!”
The department manager, who obviously appeared to be weaker than An Xia earlier, was keeping An Xia in such a tight grasp that it was as though she had just consumed a magic pill.
Su Ziyue kept kicking both her legs with all her might, trying to wiggle away from the two men, but her efforts were futile.
Her torso was held tightly still by one of the men while the other was slowly inserting the needle into a vein in her arm.
Fear flickered in Su Ziyue’s eyes, who had never really been afraid of anything her whole life. Despite having a hunch about what was being injected into her body, she could not do anything because she was immobile.
The next second, the door was suddenly kicked open. “Police!”
Everyone inside the room turned toward the door at the same time.
…
With an expressionless face, Qin Muchen was listening to Nan Chuan who was giving him a monthly summary of everything about the business of Jade Lumiere House, his back leaning against his office chair.
At the end of his report, Nan Chuan asked him, “Mr. Qin, which supplier do you think we should order our red wine from? I think we should wait for a while since the prices offered by the suppliers are similar.”
Without answering his question right away, Qin Muchen slowly said after a moment of silence, “Why is that friend of yours here today?”
Which friend of mine?
It took Nan Chuan some time to realize he was alluding to An Xia.
“Their department is having a gathering tonight,” Nan Chuan said to him with a look of enlightenment on his face.
Qin Muchen then instructed, “Choose a crate of red wine and send it to their private room.”
After that, he added, “Send it there yourself.”
Nan Chuan was speechless.
Did that mean Mr. Qin had been thinking about Miss Su the whole time he was giving him such a detailed report about the business?
Such a thing did not happen only once or twice because his boss had been distracted the entire week.
Accepting his misfortune, Nan Chuan turned around to execute his task.
Qin Muchen’s face darkened as soon as he thought of how Su Ziyue had avoided him.
She had been living a carefree and comfortable life throughout the week he had been giving her the cold shoulder, working like she was supposed to and coming out to have fun when she felt like it. She did not seem like she was affected by him the slightest bit.
He just wanted to go against her by messing with her life.
Letting out an icy snort, the frown on his forehead relaxed when he thought of the possibility of causing trouble to her life.
Nan Chuan came back after a short while.
He looked somber when he pushed the door and walked inside. “Mr. Qin.”
Qin Muchen looked up at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Nan Chuan spoke after some hesitation, “Miss Su was abducted!”
Looking serious, Qin Muchen leapt to his feet at once, his eyes turning dark as he asked in an unusually calm voice, “What’s going on?”
Nan Chuan was unable to gauge Qin Muchen’s emotions at the moment even after carefully examining his face. “She was taken away because she had something bad injected into her body.”
