However, An Zhixin only stared for a moment before looking away. She didnât dare to continue looking at him.
She knew that she could no longer continue to obsess over Yin Shaojie.
They were people of two different worlds. Their meeting was only an accident. If she continued to obsess over him, she would only be hurt.
At this moment, An Zhixin was clear-headed. She was no longer obstinate in her own way.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao was reminded of something and asked, âOh yeah, you mentioned that your classmates were abducted, and you wanted to call the police. What happened?â
At first, she didnât want to get involved with An Zhixin. But seeing from An Zhixinâs behavior that she had no ill-intentions and that she was going to call the police, she wondered if someoneâs life might be in danger.
Hearing that, An Zhixin was reminded of the matter, and she became panicky and scared.
âNo. I gotta call the police!â
She instinctively avoided bothering Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao, so she didnât ask them for help. The only thing on her mind was to get the police.
An Zhixin was about to leave, but she staggered and almost fell.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaoxiao caught her in time.
An Zhixin realized that she was so afraid during the incident earlier that her legs had turned to jelly, so she had yet to recover from it.
âYou can talk to me. You look very anxious. What happened?â Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
An Zhixin looked at her hesitantly, her eyes were red, and she finally whimpered and said, âShiyu and I⦠were kidnapped just now.â
Mu Xiaoxiao stared blankly, thinking she had misheard her. âKidnapped?â
She didnât recall that An Zhixin and her classmate, Wang Shiyu came from wealthy families. Theyâre werenât even well-off. Why would they be kidnapped?
âThey forced me to pay 100,000 yuan in ransom to get Shiyu back⦠otherwise they will sell Shiyu into prostitution. After that, they will also kidnap meâ¦â An Zhixin said as tears fell.
Initially, An Zhixin was very upset when Wang Shiyu simply ignored her after seeing her being bullied by the few girls in school.
But An Zhixin had always treated Wang Shiyu as her good friend. So when Wang Shiyu came to apologize to An Zhixin, saying that she was too scared to help her, An Zhixin forgave her.
Reconciled, they held hands as they went to night market together happily.
Wang Shiyu said that she wanted to check out the newly opened bar. However, when they entered the bar, they were targeted. Two men lured them into a booth where they tied them up.
Hearing her story, Mu Xiaoxiao looked to Yin Shaojie to ask him what he thought of it.
Of course, she wouldnât simply believe what An Zhixin said. After all, An Zhixin had past convictions. It could very well be another scheme.
Yin Shaojieâs hand reached out and held hers.
Watching as they held hands, An Zhixinâs eyes darkened. She sniffed and said, âI donât want to bother you guys. I will go to the police myself.â
She wouldnât be able to fork over 100,000 yuan, so she really had no choice but to go to the police.
Howeverâ¦n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She remembered how those people threatened her, saying that if she went to the police, they would kill Wang Shiyu and she could only go back to pick up her corpse.
So An Zhixin was conflicted. She didnât know if she should call the police or not.
However, what else could she do besides call the police?
An Zhixinâs eyes were lifeless as she looked down at the ground.
