Chapter 2418: Kidnapped While Unconscious
“Mmm mmm! Mmm! Mmm mmm mmm!” Qian’e grunted as she struggled with all her might.
“You’re finally awake,” Huang Xuan said with a smile as he walked into the room.
Upon hearing the sounds, Zhao Zhi also walked in. She grinned at Qian’e and said, “My child, don’t be afraid. We won’t do anything to you. You just have to stay here until noon tomorrow. Just one night.”
“Mmm mmm!” Qian’e struggled and tried to speak. As there was a towel in her mouth, no one could understand what she was trying to say.
Zhao Zhi had always been very nice to her, otherwise she would not have drank the water which Zhao Zhi offered. Who would have thought that Zhao Zhi would do such a despicable thing to force her to marry Huang Xuan!
She had thought that if those matchmakers caught her on a bad day one of these days, she might just decide to marry Huang Xuan. What a thing to happen now.
Even if she had to die! She would never marry Huang Xuan!
Her reputation in the capital was already very bad, so she did not mind even if it got worse. It would be best if no one in the capital dared to marry her in the future!
To ensure that the plan was foolproof, Zhao Zhi had even removed all the clothes that Qian’e was wearing. Even if Qian’e managed to escape, she would not be able to explain herself at all.
Right at this moment, Qiao Mei and Da Zhuang arrived just in time. Qiao Mei gripped the steering wheel and yelled at Da Zhuang, “Hold on tight!”
Qiao Mei’s car was of military grade and the wooden fence outside Huang Xuan’s house was not an obstacle for her at all. The two of them crashed their way into the courtyard and then ran into the house just in time to see Huang Xuan reaching out towards Qian’e to remove the towel from her mouth.
Da Zhuang almost went mad with anger. He rushed up to punch Huang Xuan and shouted, “Sister-in-law! Take Qian’e with you!”
Qiao Mei immediately wrapped Qian’e with a blanket and even ensured that her face was covered tightly. With Qiao Mei’s super strength, it was not a problem for her to carry Qian’e on her back.
“Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Don’t hit my son!” Zhao Zhi said in a panic.
Da Zhuang went all out and made sure that every punch counted. It was a bloody scene, but he was sane enough to hold back enough to leave Huang Xuan alive.
After getting into the car, Qiao Mei quickly untied all the rope around Qian’e. As Qian’e pulled out the towel from her mouth, she hugged Qiao Mei as she wailed, “You came to save me! You came to save me! How can I be so stupid! How can I believe what they say!”
Qiao Mei gently stroked Qian’e on the back and said, “It’s fine now. We’re all here. It’s all their fault. Don’t blame yourself.”
Da Zhuang drove them back to Qiao Mei’s house in silence. He did not know how to console Qian’e. In fact, he did not know who he was to her at this point in time and in what capacity to offer words of comfort to her.
Moreover… when they barged into the room earlier, Qian’e was totally unclothed. He was not blind so he saw everything. This made him feel that he had let Qian’e down somehow and tainted her innocence.
Qian’e was still crying even after she entered the room in Qiao Mei’s house. She was still in shock and there were still visible marks on her body from being tied up with the rope. Da Zhuang sat outside the main door and smoked non-stop. When Xiao Zhuang saw this situation, he could guess what had happened even without having to ask.
“Elder Brother… what do you want to do next?” Xiao Zhuang stood beside Da Zhuang and asked softly.
Da Zhuang seemed to have made up his mind about something. He put out the cigarette, stood up and walked to the room where Qiao Mei and Qian’e were in. He knocked on the door and said, “I have something to say.”
“It’s not convenient for you to come in now. Just speak outside the door,” Qiao Mei said.
“I… I’ll take responsibility. That is if you feel that I’m a decent person. I’m willing to marry you! Qian’e, I’m serious!” Da Zhuang said sternly.
Qian’e covered her face and said, “I’m not in the mood to talk about these things now!”
Qiao Mei held her forehead helplessly. She had thought that Da Zhuang wanted to say something important. She definitely did not expect him to propose at this moment.
“Xiao Zhuang and you can stay over in the backyard for now,” Qiao Mei said.
Qian’e heaved a sigh of relief when she no longer heard footsteps outside. She actually felt quite touched just now. She did not expect Da Zhuang to still be so devoted to her even after what happened.
“What do you want to do now, should we call the police?” Qiao Mei asked when she saw that Qian’e had calmed down.
“I… I don’t know,” Qian’e said aggrievedly.
Before she passed out, she had heard the conversation between Zhao Zhi and Huang Xuan. It was Zhao Zhi who had removed all her clothes, which meant that Huang Xuan did not touch her at all. Even if they called the police, they did not have any evidence. On the other hand, Huang Xuan’s injuries were all caused by Da Zhuang and it was very likely that Da Zhuang would be held legally responsible.
Qiao Mei was about to say that she could definitely win any lawsuit. In her other life, she was a criminal lawyer who had never lost a case, but then again, this matter involved Qian’e and her reputation. In this era, a woman’s reputation was more important than her life. If this whole issue blew up, it would only disadvantage Qian’e.
“Don’t worry. Let’s think of another way,” Qiao Mei said as she patted Qian’e on the hand.
