Chapter 371: 401
Chapter Four Hundred and One
Chun Tao and Li Mengjie tensed up when they heard the kidnapper's words.
Sweat dripped from the palms of their hands. If these kidnappers really intended to assault them, they would have to fight to the death.
But they were just two weak women, and in a car at that. Even if they resisted, could they overcome three strong kidnappers?
"Don't get your damn thoughts clouded by lust, this is the person Qiu Shao specifically wanted us to kidnap. Even if we were to play, Qiu Shao gets to go first. If you play with her now, do you want Qiu Shao to just get your leftovers? Do you want to die?" a kidnapper sitting in the front cursed.
"Isn't there another one? Qiu Shao told us to kidnap this one, but he said nothing about the other. We can play with the other one and there shouldn't be any issues, right?" the previous kidnapper said, still not giving up.
"Enough. We're going to arrive soon. If Qiu Shao sees that we brought an extra beauty, he might just give us an extra million. Women are a dime a dozen; once we have money, we can play with any woman we want. Besides, after Qiu Shao's done, we can still have a taste. What's the difference if we play a bit later? Stop your damn yapping."
The kidnappers' conversation caused Chun Tao and Li Mengjie's hearts to fluctuate wildly, like riding a roller coaster.
However, the kidnappers didn't immediately lay their hands on them.
But Qiu Shao, mentioned by the kidnappers, made Chun Tao and Li Mengjie begin to wonder.
They knew only one person with the surname Qiu.
Could it be him?
The car sped on, and the two women lay in the back, anxious and powerless.
Suddenly, the vehicle came to halt.
The kidnappers opened the door and got out. Chun Tao and Li Mengjie hurriedly opened their eyes and discovered that they were parked at a villa in the mountains. Quietly, the two opened the trunk door of the business van.
Then a voice came: "Qiu Shao, we've brought the people."
"Good job, bring them down quickly. Today, I'm going to play that woman to death."
When Chun Tao and Li Mengjie heard that voice, they realized who it was.
"It's Qiu Chen!" Li Mengjie muttered through clenched teeth.
She never expected Qiu Chen to stoop so low. After suffering a loss at Long Xiaoshan's place yesterday, he actually sent people to kidnap them today.
"Mengjie, we have to run now, or it will be too late," Chun Tao said.
Li Mengjie nodded, hurriedly pushed open the trunk, and the two of them rolled out of the car. They got up and ran as fast as they could.
But they had only run a few meters.
When the returning kidnappers noticed the empty car, they shouted, "They're running, over there!"
The kidnappers quickly gave chase.
Li Mengjie and Chun Tao were horrified and hurried to increase their pace, but because Li Mengjie was wearing high heels today, she tripped over a stone in her haste and fell to the ground with a cry of pain.
Chun Tao stopped immediately, trying to pull her up.
Seeing the men about to catch up, Li Mengjie yelled, "Chun Tao, run first! They wouldn't dare do much to me!"
"No way, it was my fault. How could I run alone?" Chun Tao insisted, helping Li Mengjie up.
"Neither of you is going to make it," the kidnappers were catching up fast and had already reached them. One of them reached out to grab Chun Tao, but just as he was about to catch her, a blue light suddenly emitted from Chun Tao's body, and the kidnapper was flung away, rolling several meters.
This scene stunned both Chun Tao and Li Mengjie.
It also surprised the kidnappers.
"Let's go." Chun Tao felt the light seemed to come from the bracelet on her wrist, but she didn't have time to think about it. Helping Li Mengjie, they continued running.
The kidnappers snapped out of their shock.
Charging forward again, they aimed a powerful blow at the necks of the two women, hoping to knock them unconscious.
Thud! Thud!
This time, two beams of light appeared on Chun Tao and Li Mengjie, repelling the kidnappers and sending them flying.
Li Mengjie could distinctly feel a yellow light emanating from the bracelet on her wrist.
Watching the kidnappers being thrown away, she suddenly remembered what her cousin had mentioned the day before about the Magical Bracelet at the auction. Magic Artifact, it really was a Magic Artifact.
A surge of indescribable emotions welled up inside her heart.
She even began to forget about the peril she was in.
Just yesterday, she had noticed that the bracelet Long Xiaoshan gave her was identical to the one at the auction, but she didn't believe that Long Xiaoshan would give her a Magic Artifact, after all, it was a heaven-defying object that fetched a hundred million at the auction.
Yet, she never expected it all to be true.
Her bracelet was really a Magic Artifact.
How could it be possible? Long Xiaoshan actually gave her such a treasure. No wonder he looked so troubled yesterday when she asked to sell her one, and she even thought of buying this million-valued bracelet for three hundred thousand. Long Xiaoshan must have been so frustrated at that time.
At this thought, she even felt like laughing.
"Mengjie, what are you thinking about? Run!" Chun Tao pulled Li Mengjie.
Only then did Li Mengjie realize the situation she was in and quickly abandoned her thoughts, running outside with Chun Tao.
Just as they were about to rush out of the villa's gate.
Qiu Chen bellowed, "Forget them, close the gate quickly!"
A kidnapper pulled out a remote control and pressed a button directed at the villa gate, which began to close its iron bars slowly.
Chun Tao and Li Mengjie reached the gate just as it was closing, shaking the door in despair. They turned their heads to see Qiu Chen approaching with five men.
"Why aren't you running anymore?" Qiu Chen laughed triumphantly.
Looking at Qiu Chen, his head wrapped like a mummy, Li Mengjie cursed, "Qiu Chen, you are so despicable, kidnapping us. Do you really think there won't be any consequences?"
"So it's Li Mengjie. Why did you guys kidnap her too?" said Qiu Chen.
"Qiu Shao, the two of them were out together. I was afraid this girl might call the cops, so I kidnapped both," explained the baseball cap kidnapper.
"Haha, well done," Qiu Chen said unabashedly as he ogled Li Mengjie, "This girl is a ballet dancer, and honestly, I've been wanting to try... see how many positions she can unlock."
"You... scum!" Hearing Qiu Chen's lewd and indecent words, Li Mengjie was furious and scared.
"If you dare touch us, Xiaoshan won't let you off," Chun Tao said through gritted teeth.
Qiu Chen's expression darkened at the mention of Long Xiaoshan's name, which made his cheek throb with a faint pain. He said viciously, "You think I'll let him off? Later, all of us will have our way with you, then send the video to him, so he understands the consequences of crossing me, Qiu Chen."
Chun Tao turned pale, unwilling to be humiliated by these people even in death.
"Qiu Shao, there's something strange about these two."
Recalling how he was inexplicably knocked away and nearly broke his bones a moment ago, one kidnapper spoke up.
"What's strange about them? Just do it, all of you," Qiu Chen ordered.
The five men exchanged glances and charged forward again.
Thud, thud, thud!
As the two rays of light circulated, all of those who rushed forward were once again repelled.
Qiu Chen didn't quite see what happened initially, but this time he finally noticed that the light came from the bracelets on the wrists of the two women. He exclaimed in disbelief, "Magic Artifact."
