Dream Dance Gracefully - - - -

Xu Meng witnessed the scene and started to piece things together. She turned to Li Shaofei, opening her mouth but not saying anything.

Wang Qiang smiled but remained silent, watching everything unfold.

Li Shaofei stood up and walked to the door, grabbing Xu Meng’s hand. He casually pulled out the document and tossed it on the ground before turning away in silence and leaving.

Wang Qiang didn’t betray them; from the very beginning, he was never truly on their side.

Xu Meng was unaware of this matter, and Li Shaofei hadn’t said anything about it.

If she was being threatened, what about Chen Tianqi? Would he be threatened too? The Lin Family had a significant background; reportedly, they had relatives in the military, which made others hesitant to act against them. He Tao was a loner; messing with him brought no benefit. What would happen next?

…

Zhang Wan’er? She had left yesterday, and no one knew where she went, but she should have at least called Xu Meng, right?

Li Shaofei relayed everything that had happened with Wang Qiang to Xu Meng. Now that things had escalated to this point, there was nothing left to do but discuss it calmly…

“Xu Meng, do you have any contact with Wan’er?”

“Wan’er? She said she should arrive today, but didn’t specify where. What’s going on? Is there an issue?”

“I was thinking, what if Wan’er hasn’t really left? Or perhaps, she can’t leave? Can you try calling her again…”

Though Xu Meng had some ideas as well, she still made the call. However, the phone was turned off and wouldn’t connect.

Li Shaofei and Xu Meng grew anxious. There were only two possibilities in this situation: one, Zhang Wan’er had turned her phone off herself; or two, she had also been kidnapped!

They hoped for the first scenario!

So, the two hurried over to Chen Tianqi’s house, where he was immersed in whatever he was doing.

After Li Shaofei explained the situation, Chen Tianqi realized what was happening and quickly called Zhang Wan’er. No one picked up; her phone was still off.

What should they do?

There was no other choice but to call He Tao over; being a computer expert, they hoped he could try to locate her.

He Tao rushed over, fully equipped and anxious.

They successfully traced the phone’s location: it was still in Jiangning City…

Once this conclusion was drawn, the group panicked. What did it imply?

Zhang Wan’er’s phone was turned off…

If her phone was off… it meant she might be kidnapped…

Location…

Jiangning City…

Chen Tianqi slowly lowered his head, feeling powerless. Li Shaofei had been threatened, they took the agreement, and now Zhang Wan’er was kidnapped. It was clear that this was all to intimidate Chen Tianqi.

“It seems my brother and the others have succeeded…” After a long silence, he finally spoke.

Everyone fell silent again.

Just then, the front door burst open, and Chen Tianyou rushed in, looking flustered.

“Tianqi, Zhang Wan’er has been kidnapped! They want us to arrange an exchange. Otherwise, they will silence her!” Chen Tianyou spoke urgently. This was something Chen Tianqi needed to know.

“Brother? What are you saying? They’re already asking for an exchange so soon?”

“Yes, what should we do?”

“Of course, we have to arrange the exchange!”

“They said not to report to the police or anything like that. We can only send one person, and no one else can accompany them!”

“I’ll go!” Chen Tianqi stepped forward decisively. He owed it to Zhang Wan’er. “I can go alone. If I’m not back in an hour, call the police!”

“That works; we trust you!” Everyone believed in Chen Tianqi. Who else would they trust? After all, among those present, no one was more fitting for this situation than him.

As afternoon wore on, the sun began to set…

They arrived at the abandoned quarry, the same place as before, still remote, and indeed, the location where Zhang Wan’er had been kidnapped previously.

“Boss, this little girl looks pretty enough. How about we enjoy her a bit first?” A lewd, grinning young man looked down at Tiger, sitting across from him.

Tiger had received orders from above to kidnap Zhang Wan’er and negotiate with the Chen Family. Now, all they could do was wait for the time to come.

“What’s the matter? Are you interested in her?” Tiger chuckled slightly.

“Tiger, it’s not often that you come across a girl with such charm. Now that we’ve finally found one, of course, I want to see what she’s like!” the young man replied with a wicked grin, nearly drooling at the thought.

“Alright, just don’t kill her. Make sure to just knock her out for now; we don’t want her biting her tongue and ruining the orders from above,” Tiger replied. He had seen plenty of girls like the one in front of him, and letting his subordinate sample a bit might make him more loyal in the future.

“Thanks for that, Tiger.” The young man smiled as he walked into an adjacent room. Moments later, he emerged with a few pills in hand. “Let her have a taste of this; it’ll be great!” He slowly approached Zhang Wan’er, who was tied to a chair.

Zhang Wan’er was bound to the chair, her mouth taped shut, only able to produce muffled sounds. Her body was restrained, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t break free.

On the other side, someone was setting up a camera, preparing to record everything so they could use it to threaten them again!…

Chen Tianqi drove at breakneck speed, completely disregarding how many red lights he ran. He couldn’t afford to think about that right now; Zhang Wan’er was incredibly important to him, and she couldn’t come to any harm.

As he raced down the road and reached the area, he immediately jumped out of the car and sprinted toward the dilapidated house.

He kicked the door open, and his pupils contracted sharply with rage-pure, unbridled fury!

As he burst through the door, he saw the young man tearing off the tape from the corner of Zhang Wan’er’s mouth. She opened her mouth to scream for help, but the young man swiftly stuffed a pill into her mouth.

“What the hell are you giving her? You bastard!” Zhang Wan’er coughed, struggling to expel the pill.

“Haha, you want to know? That’s a pill for enhancing pleasure… Hahaha,” the young man mocked.

At this moment, they noticed Chen Tianqi. Ignoring everyone around him, Chen Tianqi charged straight toward Zhang Wan’er.

He rushed forward and positioned himself in front of her, deftly starting to untie the ropes binding her.

Tiger observed the scene from the side, remaining silent, as if he already knew things would turn out this way.
