Chapter 293: Taken Away

d a headache. "Grandpa Fu, what's all this about!"It wasn't as simple as a fight or an argument between her and Lu Hanchuan.That's a human life lost, isn't itHow could you possibly forgive him so easi..."I don't know." Lu Hanchuan put down his water glass. "Let Qiao Mu investigate and we'll know soon. Besides, I think since that person gave the Lu family face, it means his power isn't very large, perhaps similar to the Lu family, just hidden in the shadows."

"Then will he target the Lu family" Fu Xiaoyao unconsciously guessed.

Lu Hanchuan rubbed her hair, "It shouldn't be. If it were targeting the Lu family, they wouldn't have given the Lu family face at the beginning."

"Mm." Fu Xiaoyao nodded and remained silent.

Lu Hanchuan suddenly poured her a glass of water, "Don't worry, I won't let Qi Dongming come out."

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in agreement, "I believe you."

"Come on, let's eat." Lu Hanchuan pulled her up.

They walked toward the restaurant together.

The next day, Lu Hanchuan left early again. According to Aunt Song, he seemed to be going to personally pick up a foreign real estate tycoon to discuss a cooperation on a resort project.

Specifically, Fu Xiaoyao didn't ask further, guessing even Song Yi wouldn't know.

After breakfast, Fu Xiaoyao said goodbye to Auntie Song and prepared to go to work.

As soon as she stepped out of the villa's front door, two men in black suits walked towards her.

Fu Xiaoyao glanced at the two of them, didn't think much, stepped aside, intending to let them go first.

However, the two men suddenly stopped in front of her, which made her wary and she subconsciously took a step back.

After taking two steps back, she immediately turned around and ran.

The two men hadn't expected Fu Xiaoyao to be so alert. They exchanged a glance and then, one on either side, grabbed her arms, hoisting her towards the main gate of the villa district.

Fu Xiaoyao was terrified, her face pale and panicked. She cried out loudly, "Let me go! Let me go! Help! Aunt Song, Aunt Song..."

Before she could finish her cry for help, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck and then knew nothing more.

"This woman is so noisy!"

Okay, let's go quickly, someone will be here soon.

After saying that, the two men carried the unconscious Fu Xiaoyao away, their movements swift and decisive.

When Fu Xiaoyao woke up again, she had no idea how long she had been unconscious.

She opened her eyes and found herself lying on the floor of a room. The room was pitch black, with no lights at all, so she couldn't see anything.

"Where on earth are we" Fu Xiaoyao mumbled in confusion, pushing herself up with her arms. As soon as she moved, a sharp pain shot through her neck.

She couldn't help but gasp, reaching out to touch it, only to find that she couldn't even get close. The instant her fingers grazed it, a sharp pain shot through her, bringing tears to her eyes.

Look at how hard the person who knocked her out hit her!

Creak!

The sound of the door opening.

Fu Xiaoyao quickly took her hand off her neck and turned her head to look at the door. Three figures walked in against the light from the corridor.

Beside her, two men in black suits immediately caught Fu Xiaoyao's eye. She recognized them instantly as the ones who had knocked her unconscious and brought her here.

As for the person in the middle, Fu Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes. That person was about her height, wearing a Tang-style robe, hunched over with a cane, clearly an old man.

Of course, that wasn't the most surprising thing. The most surprising thing was that this old man actually had a mask on his face.

Is he pretending to be mysterious, so she wouldn't know his identity

"Who are you" Fu Xiaoyao, trying to hold back the panic and fear in her heart, stared intently at the old man.

She knew the old man was the one in charge.

The old man was a little surprised by Fu Xiaoyao's calmness, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Then he walked to the sofa in front of her and sat down, not answering but asking, "Aren't you afraid of me"

His voice was raspy, not just unpleasant but also somewhat frightening.

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, suppressing the frantic beating of her heart and replied: "Scared, but scared you'll let me go"

"No!" The old man placed his cane on the coffee table and uttered two words softly.

Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips, "Since it's not going to work, I'm afraid it won't be of any use"

"Hmph." The old man smiled grimly. "You're quite clever, aren't you"

"I don't deserve your praise. May I ask a few questions" Fu Xiaoyao said, and without waiting for the old man to answer, she blurted out her questions, "Why did you tie me up here I shouldn't know you, right"

This bite mark, it was bitten quite hard, within it there were hints of anger as well.

The old man didn't answer immediately, waving his hand slightly.

Fu Xiaoyao had thought he was doing this to get her punished, her body immediately tensed up.

But the result was that she had overthought it. It was just an old man who was thirsty, asking the man in the suit behind her to pour him some water.

"Ahem, you may not know me, but I'm sure you know Qi Dongming," the old man finally spoke after finishing his water.

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened in surprise. "You're the one who helped Qi Dongming get his appeal"

"Not bad." The old man nodded.

Fu Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes, "The police called me yesterday, saying Qi Dongming wanted to see me. I didn't agree, so you specially kidnapped me today"

"Yes," the old man admitted again.

Fu Xiaoyao's heart was filled with anger, her fists clenched tightly, "What do you want to do"

"Sign this!" The old man pulled out a document from somewhere and threw it in front of her.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head and glanced at it. Even without opening it, she could probably guess the content of the file. "No signature!"

She set off stubbornly.

The old man's eyes turned cold, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop. "Girl, don't drink if you don't want to, but you have to take the penalty!"

Fu Xiaoyao didn't speak, as if she hadn't heard anything. She silently pondered in her heart how to contact the outside world.

It's definitely not possible to escape!

These two men in suits are here, and if she ever gets the idea of running away, they'll definitely subdue her immediately.

So she could only try to save herself, or wait for someone to rescue her. Lu Hanchuan was her only hope. She was taken away from the villa area, so someone must have seen it. Therefore, he should know now and be searching for her everywhere, right

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao's frightened heart suddenly had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Lu Hanchuan would find her soon.

The old man saw Fu Xiaoyao acting dumb and refusing to sign the letter of understanding. Instead, she was lost in thought. Anger surged within him, and the eyes behind his mask narrowed coldly.

"Good, very good. No one has ever dared to ignore my old man's words before. Girl, I want to see if you are a naive calf who is fearless of tigers, or if you have some other backing. You go, since she refuses to sign, then press her fingerprint!" The old man waved his hand and commanded.

Two men in suits answered and walked towards Fu Xiaoyao.

"Stay back!" Fu Xiaoyao's pupils suddenly shrank, she hid her hands behind her back and began to dodge around the room, trying not to be caught by them.

But as a frail woman, how could she possibly escape two men who were twice her size

So in a moment, she was seized by two men.

One man picked up a document from the ground and took out a seal to open it. The other man held Fu Xiaoyao tightly, twisting her hand and pressing her thumb onto the seal with force.

Fu Xiaoyao struggled violently, screaming incessantly from her mouth, "Don't, let go, let me go!"

However, neither of the two men was a man who pitied a woman in distress. No matter how much she cried out, they remained unmoved. They simply pinched her thumb, which had been dipped in ink, and pressed it onto the document. Immediately, a bright red fingerprint appeared on the paper.

Seeing that fingerprint, Fu Xiaoyao's heart turned cold, her entire head went blank. There was nothing else, only two words.

It's done!ortable and lowered her eyes, "I know. I'll find a set of clothes for myself in a while. But Hanchuan, you should hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes too, or you'll catch a cold.""Well,...
