From Runaway Bride to Global Queen

Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Kidnapping

Qiao Yi felt that Old Mr. Lu was now so obsessed with having a grandson that he had nearly lost his mind.

At this rate, if Old Mr. Lu doesn’t go crazy, she will.

How could a father-in-law stare at someone’s belly every day? Qiao Yi felt so uneasy under Old Mr. Lu’s gaze that her skin crawled.

Unable to withstand such scrutiny, Qiao Yi hastily excused herself, claiming fatigue from flying, and dashed upstairs.

Lu Yanchuan watched Qiao Yi flee in disarray with a smile, but he didn’t expect that Old Mr. Lu, who hadn’t managed to cling to Qiao Yi, had no intention of letting even him off the hook,

“Although I have always been asking Yiyi to nourish her body, having children is a matter for two people. Yiyi shouldn’t always be the one to suffer. Shouldn’t you also take some responsibility?”

After being preached to by Old Mr. Lu for quite a while, Lu Yanchuan finally managed to escape back to his room.

Now he finally understood how Qiao Yi felt whenever Old Mr. Lu stared at her, it really made one break out in a cold sweat!

Qiao Yi snickered in the room, and only after being threatened by Lu Yanchuan’s gaze did she stop laughing and pretended to be busy.

In the two days since Qiao Yi returned to the country, she had distributed all the souvenirs she brought back and took the opportunity to covertly gather quite a bit of information about the Sun Family.

The Sun Family is a very special prominent family in Capital City.

It wasn’t until the arrival of the new century that the Sun Family gradually began to reveal their splendor.

Although everyone knew the Sun Family was not a simple clan, no other family was willing to openly conflict with the Sun Family.

Qiao Yi asked many people, but they were all unfamiliar with the Sun Family, only aware that such a family existed, without knowing much else.

The more the Sun Family kept to themselves, the more curious Qiao Yi became.

In this era, making oneself so mysteriously low-key is not an easy task, one just doesn’t know whether the Sun Family has other motives behind it.

After inquiring from various sources without any results, Qiao Yi anxiously awaited the day of signing with a heart full of doubts.

The bosses of Longjia and Tengxin are a pair of brothers, but their last name is not Sun, it’s Shi.

The boss of Longjia is the elder brother, named Shi Lei.

The boss of Tengxin is the younger brother, named Shi Hui.

Sitting between the two brothers, Qiao Yi looked like a beauty among two beasts.

Nothing else, the Shi brothers have both put on weight and have beards, their plump figures sitting there like two bandits.

However, these two bandits…

No, the Shi brothers, were quite cheerful, and their hearty laughter made them quite likable at first hearing.

The signing ceremony was very successful, the brothers carefully inspected the contract brought by Qiao Yi, and after ensuring there were no issues, they happily signed their names.

Qiao Yi smiled sweetly and the two burly men laughed heartily; the three of them, host and guests, seemed delighted, yet each harbored their own cunning plans.

Qiao Yi silently mourned for these two men and the Sun Family thinking they had snagged a great bargain, but they had no idea they had taken a ticking time bomb from the hands of the Qiao Family.

They couldn’t know when the bomb would explode, obliterating them without a trace.

Whereas the Shi brothers were secretly thrilled to have so easily secured the project from the Qiao Family’s grasp, especially after seeing that the Qiao Family had only sent a newcomer like Qiao Yi to sign the contract, they were more convinced that the Qiao Family had truly given up on the project and had no ulterior motive to trap them.

They had already appraised the project; once completed, the profits would far exceed the cost of acquisition.

Although they had paid a very high price to snatch the project from other companies, the subsequent returns would definitely make them rich beyond measure!

And perhaps through this project, they could finally break free from the Sun Family’s control…

Qiao Yi had some drinks, recalling the incident where she went wild from drinking in front of Lu Yanchuan, she didn’t dare to drink much, only pretending to be drunk after one glass before letting her assistant take her away.

Lu Yanchuan’s car was parked outside, he saw Qiao Yi staggering out with assistance, he was about to drive over to pick her up when he saw her and the assistant get into a silver-white car, and as soon as they were in, the car drove off.

Whose car was this? Did Qiao Benqing send someone to pick up Qiao Yi?

Lu Yanchuan followed in his car, one hand steering while the other dialed Qiao Yi’s number.

The call was hung up after just one ring, Lu Yanchuan stared at the dark screen of his phone and dialed again.

This time, the phone on the other end was powered off.

Taking a corner, he suddenly saw a phone being thrown out from the car ahead, smashing into pieces on the ground as vehicles sped over it.

Something happened to Qiao Yi! There was something wrong with the car ahead!

Without a second thought, Lu Yanchuan grabbed his phone and made a call.

The call was quickly answered, before the other party could speak, Lu Yanchuan said, “I need an interception on a silver-white SUV eight-seater sedan, it is now on the middle section of Xihua Road, the license plate number is Capital ASB611.”

“Okay.”

Lu Yanchuan ended the call and floored the accelerator to continue the pursuit.

Qiao Yi looked bewilderedly at the masked men around her, then at her assistant who was forcefully holding her down, not quite understanding what was happening.

Didn’t she make an excuse of being drunk to leave the restaurant? Wasn’t it her assistant who was supposed to help her downstairs and take her home? How did she end up in this car?

Who were all these people?

Although Qiao Yi’s thoughts were sluggish due to the alcohol, it didn’t mean that the others in the car were the same. When they heard her phone ring, they immediately snatched it and hung up.

“Throw it out, power it off and throw it out, there might be tracking on her phone.”

Who knew her so well?

Qiao Yi heard a woman’s voice, looked toward the front passenger seat, but only saw a pair of slender legs and a blue pleated skirt.

A young girl, who was she?

Qiao Yi frowned, forcibly twisting her wrists, but was held down even more tightly by the assistant, forbidden to move.

As she saw her own phone being thrown out of the window, Qiao Yi instantly protested, kicking and struggling.

“Who are you people! Why are you throwing my phone away!”

A drunk person strangely possessed enormous strength, it took three seats and two people exerting force on either side to barely control Qiao Yi.

If there hadn’t been limited space in the car, they definitely wouldn’t have been able to hold her down.

“Is she even a woman, how can she have such strength!”

Nobody thought that comment was a joke, especially after seeing Qiao Yi free a hand and punch out one of the assistant’s teeth. The three men sitting in the last row joined in, grabbing Qiao Yi’s hands to prevent her from moving.

“Keep it down, the car is still moving!”

The woman in front reprimanded the commotion while Qiao Yi had one hand covered over her face; yet, she still saw the woman.

It was her! How could it be her!
