A criminal suspect whom the police’s traffic surveillance caras couldn’t find.
A criminal suspect whom the property staff in the villa district couldn’t catch.
Who exactly is this man?! What motive does he have to remain hidden by Xin Zaozao’s side?
He studies all the photos before him.
He can’t just focus on the similar points.
Since this person is well-prepared, he would definitely not allow his true face to be discovered.
While studying the photos, he asks, "Who in the security team is the most skilled?"
"If you’re talking about skill..." the head of the security team ponders, "It would probably be Liao An. He’s an ex-military man. His skills are the best among us."
A military man.
Mu Cidian’s eyes narrow, "Who is this man in the photo?"
"Oh, him." The head of the security team points at a photo of a man.
In the man’s work picture, he is wearing the security team’s cap and uniform, his hair is short and neat, and his physique is not tall or large.
While comparing his photo with the man in the video, Mu Cidian asks, "Is he married? Does he have children at ho?"
"I don’t think so." The head of the security team responds, "He’s over 40 and has always been single. But he’s a very enthusiastic person. Whenever there’s a shift change or sothing, he always volunteers, especially for the night shift. He sotis even covers for his colleagues unconditionally..."
Mu Cidian’s expression tightens, he looks at the head of the security team, "Did you say he works the night shift?"
"Yes." The head of the security nods, sensing Mu Cidian’s suspicion, "You’re not suggesting that Liao An is the suspect, are you? That’s not possible. He’s a great guy, nice to everyone. He was voted the best property employee earlier this year. He’s a good guy, there’s no way he kidnapped your sister."
"Yeah." Mu Cidian nods
The head of the security continues, "I checked the man in the video, and he doesn’t look like anyone on our team. If he was, I would have recognized him imdiately. There’s definitely no match."
Mu Cidian puts down the photo, "Maybe I’m just overthinking."
The head of the security team nods, seeming very certain that no one from their team could be involved.
"By the way, I want to see more detailed information about every mber of your security team. I don’t want to miss any possible clues."
"Sure, but I personally believe our security team can’t be involved. All of our staff were hired through official channels, we don’t hire any third-rate personnel."
Having said this, the head of the security team still pulls up everyone’s information.
Mu Cidian flips through it.
He doesn’t linger on anyone’s details for too long.
He takes about 5 minutes to go through the details of all 40 security team mbers.
He hands back the information to the head of the security team, "Thank you."
The head of the security sees that Mu Cidian doesn’t appear to have gained anything useful from the files, he looks at his anxious expression and quickly asks, "Mr. Mu, do you need us to help you report to the police?"
"No need, I’ve already reported it." Mu Cidian responds.
With that, he calmly leaves.
It’s not that he fears there is an insider working with the villain in the security team, but he can’t take any chances that could threaten Xin Zaozao.
The mont he leaves the property building, he quickly returns to his car and drives away frantically.
Liao An’s address is deeply etched into his mind.
His speed becos faster and faster.
Nearly an hour has passed since the incident... an hour...
His heart tightens.
He firmly believes that nothing will happen, Xin Zaozao will be fine!
...
Tired.
She can barely open her eyes, yet there is an inexplicable impulse to do so. Like she’s experienced sothing terrifying, she struggles to wake up.
After what feels like an eternity, Xin Zaozao finally manages to open her eyes.
The first thing she sees is the whitewashed ceiling. She frowns, it all seems very unfamiliar.
She tries to move but her body feels tight.
She shifts her body and suddenly realize she’s tied up.
In that mont, she fully awakens, and mories of her day flood back.
Suddenly, a man’s voice appears near her, "Awake yet?"
Xin Zaozao is so scared that her body shakes.
She quickly turns her head and sees a strange middle-aged man in front of her, grinning maliciously at her.
"Who are you?" Xin Zaozao’s heart races, her face changing color.
"Who am I?" The man laughs with a sleazy grin, "Does it matter who I am? All you need to know is that no one cares about you here. But uncle can take good care of you."
"I don’t know you, let go!"
"Let you go? I finally managed to bring you back and you want to let you go. That’s not possible! Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this day, Xin Zaozao?" The man moves closer, sniffing her.
Looking imnsely satisfied, his grin makes her skin crawl.
Xin Zaozao feels repulsed and scared, her heart beats faster and faster.
She glares at the man in front of her, "Who are you? How do you know my na? Who are you?! Let go!"
"Oh, you’re getting agitated. Uncle doesn’t like that." The man gets up from her.
Xin Zaozao watches him warily.
"Uncle’s going to give you so water first." Saying that, the man retrieves a cup of water from the bedside table.
Xin Zaozao stares at the cup.
It’s clear to her that the cup isn’t filled with just plain water.
She clenched her mouth shut.
"Good girl, drink." The man moved closer to her lips.
Xin Zaozao refused to drink.
"Don’t make uncle use force." The man’s smile carried a threat, and his eyes held a ruthless flavour.
Xin Zaozao wouldn’t open her mouth.
The very next second.
"Ah!" Xin Zaozao scread.
The man violently clasped her throat, his hand moving with great force to grab her chin, forcibly opening her mouth, and carelessly poured a cup of boiled water into Xin Zaozao’s mouth.
Xin Zaozao struggled, the more she struggled, the more the man retaliated!
She choked several tis, her face reddened.
The water from the cup was drank, spit out, soaking her clothes.
The man let go of Xin Zaozao.
He said, "Uncle knows you’re not obedient, so I had to be a bit harsh, drinking a little is enough."
"What did you make drink!" Xin Zaozao choked until her whole face was red.
She really wanted to vomit, really wanted to throw up.
"Don’t be scared, uncle didn’t give you poison, but sothing that will make you feel intoxicated and delightful. Soon, you’ll thank uncle." The man’s disgustingly vile smile was highlighted grotesquely on his face.
Xin Zaozao’s heartbeat kept increasing, she didn’t know what this man had given her, but she was certain that it wasn’t anything good.
"During the effect of the drug, Uncle can chat with you, right?"
"Who are you? What do you want!? I can give you money, as much as you want, just let go!" Xin Zaozao couldn’t keep calm, she just couldn’t be calm in this mont.
The man sneered, "What’s so good about money, it’s nowhere near as good as you."
"What are you trying to do!"
"Zaozao, don’t be agitated. Just have a good chat with uncle, be good." The man’s disgusting smile sent chills down Xin Zaozao’s spine.
Xin Zaozao bit her lip, "Let go of , and I’ll talk to you."
"You won just love to lie. If I let go of you, will you still talk to ??"
"What did you kidnap for!" Xin Zaozao scread, her eyes brimming with tears, the helplessness in that mont was making her slowly crumble.
"I kidnapped you to care for you. Your stepmother and stepbrother have always bullied and cursed you, even damaging your body, yes? Uncle just wants to take good care of you, be with uncle, and uncle would only be good to you..." The man said as he couldn’t help but touch Xin Zaozao’s hand.
Touching her smooth little hand...
"Don’t touch !" Xin Zaozao scread.
She felt sick, totally out of control.
"Okay, okay, I won’t touch." The man let go, "In a mont, you’ll voluntarily co to . Uncle likes your initiative."
"Why did you kidnap , why! What grudge do you have against , what hate!"
"I don’t hate you, uncle just now said that uncle wants to care for you, so you won’t be hurt by your stepmother and stepbrother any longer." The man spoke with sincerity etched on his face.
Yet his face only made Xin Zaozao feel like vomiting.
"Who am I? Why are you doing this to !" Xin Zaozao could not take it anymore, really couldn’t take it.
She didn’t know this man at all, what was he trying to do!
"I just can’t bear to see you being bullied, I just want to treat you well." The man said passionately, "Do you know? You closely resemble my dead girlfriend, she was also abused by her stepmother and stepbrother since childhood, and was forced by her stepbrother the day before our wedding. She chose to commit suicide out of humiliation, do you know that I killed my girlfriend’s stepmother and stepbrother with my own hands? That feeling, so satisfying, slashing them with each cut, hacking them into pieces..."
The man spoke excitedly, as though reminiscing his past.
"Are you mad? Are you a nutcase?" Xin Zaozao was on the verge of breaking down.
She felt that she might crumble the very next second, completely crumble!
"So Zaozao, rest assured, stay with and I’ll definitely avenge you. I will take care of Wan Quan, Mu Cidian, one by one, making sure they won’t die a peaceful death!" The man seed to be making a promise, "Uncle hasn’t found the right opportunity yet, but don’t worry, uncle will keep his promise."
"I don’t need it, I don’t need it!" Xin Zaozao shook her head vigourously, "Let go, I don’t need you to butt into my affairs! I don’t need you to kill Wan Quan and Mu Cidian, I never thought about them dying!"
"You’re just too kind-hearted." The man seed disappointed, "They’ve bullied you to this extent, their deaths wouldn’t be unjust. You probably don’t know, the reason I could kidnap you so smoothly today, all the credit goes to Wan Quan!"
Xin Zaozao froze.
Because she was scared and frightened, she didn’t think too much, didn’t have ti to think it through.
She stared straight at the man.
The man said, "That night, when everyone wasn’t paying attention, I went to the villa’s gate and cursed Wan Quan and Mu Cidian, then I was caught by Wan Quan. However, she didn’t expose , instead she told that, since I loved you and fought for you, she’d give an opportunity to have you."
With emotions held in check, Xin Zaozao’s throat moved up and down.
She knew it, she knew it, this matter was definitely tied with Wan Quan!
But she never thought, that this man would be the one who scribbled nonsense at the gate of their villa, and since it was cursing Wan Quan, she didn’t pursue it!
She should’ve known it was not simple.
It was clear that Wan Quan and Mu Cidian were cursed so badly but didn’t do anything about it, she should’ve guessed there was a problem.
She didn’t expect Wan Quan to be so calculating.
She could actually!
She bit her lip hard, glaring at the man.
The man continued, "Doesn’t Mu Cidian always have the maid send you breakfast every morning? Wan Quan said she’d have Mu Cidian put sleeping tablets in your breakfast these few days. Not a big deal, but day by day, you’d get more and more tired, and most importantly, your bodyguard will get more and more tired. So, when your bodyguard isn’t at his best, I’ll knock him out in one blow and successfully bring you to my side."
"What did you do to Nie Feng!" Xin Zaozao scread.
"Good girl, don’t bla uncle, uncle just wants to have you, just wants to treat you well."
"Lunatic!" Xin Zaozao gritted her teeth.
What crossed her mind at that mont...
Was that Mu Cidian had been putting sleeping pills in her breakfast!
