Zeng Chengxue listened quietly to the sounds outside from inside the room.

The footsteps grew closer...

"cough cough"

She opened her mouth and coughed even louder.

The man remained motionless, as if her actions had no effect on him.

Zeng Chengxue watched him and quietly moved towards the door.

A swish sound.

The man quickly moved to Zeng Chengxue's position, his eyes fixed on her, and pulled her back to her original spot.

Zeng Chengxue's eyes reddened; she really wanted to cry.

Can she please stop listening to her father? She doesn't want to be so strong anymore.

Her upbringing instilled in her a calm demeanor, allowing her to remain clear-headed even when she was on the verge of a breakdown.

"You...don't...move"

The man finally spoke.

Zeng Chengxue's mouth dropped open; she thought he was mute!

After putting Zeng Chengxue back in her original spot, the man squatted down beside her and didn't leave.

It seemed to be to prevent her from escaping.

The close contact allowed Zeng Chengxue to observe the people who kidnapped her more closely.

Looking at this person, Zeng Chengxue felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

Since nothing was certain, she couldn't act rashly and her mind raced as she considered the options.

Who could this be?

Dong dong dong

The footsteps sounded like they were getting closer.

"cough cough"

Zeng Chengxue coughed a few more times cautiously.

The man glanced at him coldly, then got up and moved to the door.

.........

"Team Leader Zhang, look at that small house, it looks like someone's there."

The officer approached Captain Zhang and spoke in a low voice.

We don't know what the people inside are up to, so it's best to be cautious.

He Yu and the Zeng family members also stopped, and He Yu signaled for everyone to join the police.

The two groups of people stood together, both looking in the direction of the cabin.

"Captain Zhang, Miss's life is the top priority. We can discuss anything with the other party."

"Rest assured, we will always prioritize human safety."

Team Leader Zhang stood in front, hands on his hips, replying to He Yu's words without turning his head.

When the police were dispatched, the chief repeatedly explained who the Zeng family members were, how they were major taxpayers in Yongcheng, and how extensive and large their businesses were.

He overheard a bit before leaving, and even though he didn't follow finance, he knew about the Zeng Group.

Whether he's a major taxpayer or not, it's all the same to him.

"Listen up, you inside..."

Team Leader Zhang directed his officers to surround the house from both sides, while simultaneously shouting through a loudspeaker.

Zeng Chengxue, who was inside the room, heard this and her eyes widened instantly.

But she dared not move, for the person was right beside her, watching her every move.

No matter how much Captain Zhang shouted from outside, there was no movement inside.

Even that faint cough was gone.

He Yu was getting anxious and kept looking at his phone.

Why haven't Mr. Zeng and his wife arrived yet?

"Uncle, my family is here to see me. Please let me know if you need anything."

Zeng Chengxue stood up, moved a little distance away, and then began to speak.

The man suddenly turned his head to look at her, his eyes fierce, something he had never done before.

Dong dong dong

Zeng Chengxue's heart was pounding; it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

That one shout had exhausted all her strength.

But her father told her that she should never give up until the very last moment.

"Listen, the police are here too. Talk to them, and they'll meet your needs."

"Hahahaha"

Zeng Chengxue's slightly tearful voice did not elicit sympathy from the other party; instead, it made the other party burst into laughter.

"Hmph, satisfy me? Your Zeng family?"

Does he know I'm from the Zeng family?

"Miss Zeng, do you think I just kidnapped someone randomly? Huh!"

As he spoke, the man lunged at Zeng Chengxue.

"Aaaaaah, waaaaah!"

Zeng Chengxue screamed in fright, "Waaah, I didn't want this to happen, but this person is so scary."

"He Zhu, it's Miss He Zhu's voice."

The person next to He Yu whispered a reminder, and He Yu nodded, his eyes still fixed on the other side of the road.

The police shouted for a long time, but there was no response, so they were looking for a strategy.

"Captain Zhang, how about we launch a full-scale attack?"

"Have you seen the situation inside clearly?"

"not yet"

"You dare to launch a direct attack without my assistance?!"

The young police officer's words did not receive Captain Zhang's approval.

Before we know the kidnappers' purpose and the true situation inside, we must not act rashly under any circumstances.

"Send them to investigate further and see if there are any other breakthroughs."

"Yes"

After receiving the instructions, the young police officer turned around to carry out the order, leaving Captain Zhang still speaking to the people inside through the megaphone.

Zeng Chengxue burst into tears upon hearing the police's voice.

She wanted to tell them about her situation, but the person in front of her was holding her collar, and she couldn't speak.

She still didn't know what she had done to anger him, or why this man wanted to kidnap the Zeng family.

.......

Huhuhu

A moment later, a pair of figures came running from a distance.

Upon seeing this, He Yu quickly went to greet him.

"Captain Zhang and our men have surrounded the house. Judging from the sounds, we've roughly confirmed that the young lady is indeed inside, but we still don't know who the kidnapper is; they haven't made a sound. Captain Zhang and his team are still looking for a breakthrough."

"Oh, I see"

Zeng Yunchen said coldly, then pulled Tang Min and ran coldly to Captain Zhang's position.

He Yu hadn't seen Zeng Yunchen like this in a long time; his face was sullen, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were like cold light.

"Captain Zhang, phew... how's it going?"

Tang Min walked up to Captain Zhang. She had just run over and was still out of breath, so she spoke haltingly.

"Mr. Zeng, Mrs. Zeng, our people are still working hard."

She was still working hard, but hadn't made a breakthrough yet, which made Tang Min even more anxious.

We finally found it, but there's no way to crack it.

"The head of the Zeng family has arrived. Please feel free to ask for anything you need."

"I am the president of the Zeng Group. I will try my best to meet any requests you may have."

Team Leader Zhang glanced at Zeng Yunchen, picked up the megaphone and said something. Zeng Yunchen quickly added something in response.

"woooooo"

Zeng Chengxue choked back tears, "Mom and Dad are finally here. Waaah, I missed them so much."

"Chengxue, hang in there a little longer, Mom and Dad are coming."

Tang Min took the megaphone and loudly comforted them.

Knowing that her parents couldn't see, Zeng Chengxue nodded firmly; she would persevere.

"Hmph, after waiting so long, those two bitches, Zeng Yunchen and Tang Min, have finally arrived. Let's go."

The man grabbed Zeng Chengxue by the collar, dragged her to the door, and kicked it open.

The makeshift wooden door of the hut creaked loudly as he kicked it.

"Out!"

Someone shouted, and Tang Min grabbed Zeng Yunchen's arm, nervously looking in the direction of the hut.

The moment they saw Zeng Chengxue emerge, the two of them involuntarily took a step forward.

"Don't move, or I'll kill him."

Zeng Chengxue's small body was like an ant in front of that person, completely at his mercy.

"Okay, okay, we won't move."

Zeng Yunchen quickly waved his hand and pulled Tang Min back a step.

A hand beckoned to He Yu from behind, signaling him to come forward when the opportunity arose.
