The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 446

Chapter 446 -445 Epilogue (5)

Yu Zhuyin and Jiang Nanshu exchanged glances.

The opportunity had arrived.

Lao Wu walked in with a gun, the loaded barrel aimed at Yu Zhuyin’s head, “Stretch out your hands, and don’t try anything.”

She was unarmed and powerless, her face darkening as she reluctantly extended her hands. Handcuffs clamped around her wrists, and then the gun was pointed at Jiang Nanshu.

Four burly men stood in front of them, strong and well-prepared.

Suppressing the urge to fight back, Jiang Nanshu calmly asked, “If my hands are cuffed, who will hold this child? Would any of you be willing?”

The men looked disdainfully at the child.

The child was merely bait; now that the captives were secured, she was of no further use to them—except maybe to serve as leverage when the time came to kill Jiang Nanshu. The child’s mother would have to be involved then.

They certainly did not want blood on their hands, risking prison time.

But none of them wanted to carry the filthy-looking kid.

Lao Wu scowled, and after a moment’s hesitation, he made up his mind, “You carry her. Don’t play any tricks on us. Even if you were dead, as long as Lu Qingyan wants to give you a proper burial, he will come.”

Jiang Nanshu pursed her lips; this was the first time she had witnessed a corpse posing a threat to others.

Yet, she believed what the kidnapper said.

She was heavily pregnant and unable to hold Youyou, so she had to carry the child on her back.

After several hours of being wiped down with cold water, her fever had decreased significantly.

Jiang Nanshu continued, “Can you give this child some fever-reducing medicine? A dead person can’t threaten anyone. If she doesn’t bring her fever down, she might not survive the night.”

Lao Wu frowned deeper, and the leader gave Jiang Nanshu a meaningful look before speaking in a heavy tone, “Throw her some fever medicine. Whether the kid lives or dies is up to her fate. It’s none of our concern if she dies.”

How could it not be their concern?

Had it not been for them, she should be receiving treatment in a hospital.

But Jiang Nanshu offered a faint smile, “Of course, if she dies, we can only say it was bad luck for the child. Just find a hole and bury her, that’s all.”

It was then that Lao Wu went cursing to find the medicine, tossing over a box, “Take it. The damn kid better die later, not screw up our plans.”

The leading man handed Jiang Nanshu a bottle of mineral water.

Finally, Jiang Nanshu could give Youyou her medicine.

After administering the medicine, Lao Wu, impatient, grabbed Jiang Nanshu and hustled her to the car, “Move it, let’s not waste any more time.”

“We still have a stretch of mountain road to traverse.”

This wasn’t their final destination.

Jiang Nanshu held Youyou and got into the car first.

She watched through the rearview mirror as the wooden cabin grew farther and farther away.

…

Half an hour after Jiang Nanshu had left,

The cabin door was kicked open with force. Lu Qingyan entered, beginning his meticulous search for Jiang Nanshu’s tracks.

She had been missing for nearly six hours, and he was almost driven to madness.

Lu Qingyan kicked open the bedroom door; the bedding was wrinkled. His eyes, bloodshot, scanned the room until they paused on a corner beneath the bed—a sudden stillness overcame him as he quickly picked up an item.

It was the amulet he had sought for Jiang Nanshu, opened. Lu Qingyan tore it open to reveal a few words written in fresh blood, “I’m safe, don’t worry.”

A flash of red flitted through Lu Qingyan’s eyes.

Lu Qingyan scoffed disdainfully and threw Yu Xiao off, “There’s nothing much between us to begin with. Because of you, I lost my father, and now, because of you again, my wife is in trouble. Yu Xiao, I’ll tell you once more, if you can’t save her, don’t expect to leave Hua Country alive.”

Yu Xiao remained silent. It had been a long time since anyone had dared to talk to him so boldly, but Lu Qingyan had the backing to do so.

He sighed, “Let’s put off the matter of killing me for now. Finding the people is what’s important. They’ve received forewarning and have already moved. What do we do now?”

Lu Qingyan gave him a cold look, “Call the police.”

Yu Xiao’s expression changed slightly, “We can’t call the police! The local authorities must not know I’m in the country.”

Lu Qingyan turned to leave, “Too late.”

Shiyi was frantic, “Boss, what do we do now? We entered the country under false identities. If we’re discovered, we can’t go back to Miannan. The Lu’s have bad intentions, from the start they probably wanted to trap us all here, right?”

Yu Xiao, furrowing his brows, replied, “We need to find Zhuyin as soon as possible and then take the private jet back. Let’s follow him for now.”

Shiyi’s gaze shifted slightly, “Boss…should we just…?”

Shiyi didn’t finish his sentence, but Yu Xiao understood.

“Lu Qingyan can’t die yet. We need to find Zhuyin first. For the time being, we have to rely on his power.”

Upon hearing this, Shiyi gritted his teeth, “Alright, it’s a pity though.”

Yu Xiao didn’t say anything.

He actually wanted to cooperate with Lu Qingyan.

But the man was impenetrable.

He wouldn’t get involved in these illegal matters; even if Yu Xiao promised big profits and assured that it would never get him into trouble, he still refused.

Back in Miannan, he had said, “My wife wants me to become a person who is sunny, warm, loves to laugh, and is honest. So that’s who I will be from now on.”
