At this moment, several girls were having a karaoke and beer-drinking session in Qin Yaâs family villa.
They were hanging out together happily.
Everybody tried their best to make Qin Ya forget about her unhappiness with Chen Hao today.
As for Qin Yaâs parents, they had already headed out to Yan Jing earlier today.
Hence, Zhao Tongtong and the rest of her friends would not leave tonight as they wanted to accompany Qin Ya.
âTongtong, Iâm going to the washroom. Can you accompany me?â asked Qin Ya.
âOk!â
Then, both of them went to the washroom upstairs.
However, not long after thatâ¦
âAh!â
Suddenly, a piercing scream was heard upstairs, and that made everybody jump in fright.
Hence, they quickly made their way upstairs.
When they reached the washroom, there was no sign of Zhao Tongtong or Qin Ya anymore.
Following that, they noticed that the windows of the washroom were open. They peered downstairs through the windows, but there wasnât a trace of them anywhere.
âTongtong? Qin Ya? Donât fool around, where are you guys?â several girls shouted.
However, after searching for half a day, they were certain that Qin Ya wasnât playing a joke on them.
Instead, she had really disappeared.
They were so anxious they nearly burst into tears.
âWhat should we do?â
âWhat else can we do? Of course we should call the police quickly!â
â¦â¦
On the other handâ¦
âLet us go! Who are you?â
When Qin Ya and Zhao Tongtong entered the washroom just now, a black shadow flashed before them. Then, they felt a stab of pain in their backs before fainting.
When they woke up, they realized that they had been kidnapped and brought to this place.
It seemed to be a dilapidated-looking house in the wilderness.
At that moment, they cried out in horror.
âYes, let us go quickly. Let me tell you this. Qin Ya is acquainted with a lot of rich Young Masters, so if you do not let us go, you are going to be in so much trouble,â said Zhao Tongtong.
âHahaha! I am so scared. Of course, I know that Miss Qin is Young Master Longâs fiancé. In addition to that, I heard that Young Master Long seems to have taken a liking to Miss Qin. Actually, the reason I kidnapped you all today is so that I can use Miss Qin here to make that b*stard, Long Shaoyun, pay me the money he owes me. I donât mean any harm. After I get my money, I will leave immediately.
Moreover, I will not harm a single hair on Miss Qinâs head.â
The person turned out to be Hou San.
Hou San was an avaricious guy. He would do anything as long as money was involved.
At this moment, the very reason he was thinking of threatening Long Shaoyun was money.
After all, he wouldnât want to have a fall out with his employer and blurt out the fact that Long Shaoyun had made a deal with him to rape Ouyang Ru unless as a last resort.
Because if that was the case, then he would have offended the Chen, Long and Ouyang families, whereby he would definitely meet a tragic end.
He was a smart guy, so he came up with this plan.
âHehe! Miss Qin, you are indeed beautiful. I believe that Long Shaoyun will give me the money in exchange for his gorgeous fiancé.â
Hou San pinched Qin Yaâs chin.
âHmph! Not only Long Shaoyun, another Young Master, will come here as well. You would be dead if he knew that you have kidnapped Qin Ya. He is none other than Jin Lingâs Young Master Chen, Chen Hao,â said Zhao Tongtong.
âWhat? Chen Hao?â
Hou Sanâs jaw clenched.
If it werenât because of the fact that he had offended Chen Hao, he wouldnât be reduced to hiding in the wilderness.
The Chen family's power and influence in Jin Ling was indeed a force to be reckoned with.
âTongtong, stop it. I have no connection with that person anymore. Besides, I have already ended my relationship with him. So, why would he help me?â
Qin Ya looked at Tongtong and said.
âHmph, even if you severed your connection with him, Chen Hao will definitely come and rescue you. I donât believe that he wonât,â said Zhao Tongtong.
âFrom today onward, I donât ever want to see that jerk again,â said Qin Ya coldly.
âHey! Are you two done with your chit-chat yet? You are being kidnapped here! What do you guys think you are doing? Do you think I do not exist at all?â
Hou San was angry when he heard their ongoing conversation.
Zhao Tongtong was so scared that she immediately kept quiet.
Hou San rubbed his nose and took Qin Yaâs mobile phone from her.
âI donât care about the Young Masters. I just want the money.â
With that, he used Qin Yaâs mobile phone to call Long Shaoyun.
âMy dear Qin Ya, why did you suddenly think of calling me?â
The sound of Long Shaoyunâs affectionate voice drifted over from the other end of the phone.
âF*ck you! Stop your nonsense! Qin Ya is in my hands now, so if you do not want anything to happen to your precious Qin Ya, give me my money, and I will release them immediately,â Hou San cursed.
âHuh? Hou San? You are really gutsy. I already spared your life once, and you dare to kidnap Qin Ya?â
Long Shaoyunâs voice became cold.
âHaha! What do you mean spared my life? Let me tell you this, Long Shaoyun. Today I shall take into account our past and current grudges. Besides, I want triple the amount of money that you owed me.
You can consider that as compensation for the emotional damage that you caused me. Moreover, I have the recording of the petty things youâve done in the past. I want you to deliver the money to me personally, and I will return all these things to you in one go. Then, we are considered even," said Hou San with a smirk.
Since he had already suffered some losses once, he wouldn't fall for it a second time again.
Although Long Shaoyun and his men were powerful, how could they ever dream of catching him? The mere thought made him laugh.
He believed that Long Shaoyun was clear about this as well.
âI wonât go there personally. I will send my men over with the money. Where are you?â said Long Shaoyun coldly.
âNo way! You must come here personally. I need to explain some things to you face-to-face. I promise that you will regret it in the future if you donât come here personally. Moreover, I want you to come here alone,â said Hou San with an evil smile.
âYou can say whatever you want. I already told you that I wonât be going. Just try me,â said Long Shaoyun with a smile.
âDamn it! You are not coming? If you donât come here personally, I rather not take the money, instead I shall have some fun with your fiancé here. Donât believe me? She is so pretty anyway.â
âI am going to give you 3 million. In exchange, you must release the hostages and leave behind the recording. Anything other than that is off the table. In addition to that, I hope you think carefully about your consequences later.â
With that Long Shaoyun hung up.
âHey! Hey! Damn it, he really is a beast! How can he ignore his own woman?â
Hou Sanâs face was livid with anger.
On the other hand, although Qin Ya had never been in love with Young Master Long, not even in the slightest, she still felt a chill in her heart when she heard his words just now.
Sure enough, a scumbag would always be a scumbag, no matter how much he tried to hide it.
Their nature would be exposed the moment they faced a real crisis.
âHaha! It seems that you have miscalculated. Our relationship is not as good as you think it is. You can dream on if you think you can use me to threaten him.â Qin Ya laughed bitterly.
âWhat should I do now? I definitely need to do something as I have already offended three powerful families in one shot. I canât just take 3 million and leave!â Hou San was scratching his head repeatedly.
Suddenly, he slapped his thighs.
He had a stroke of inspiration.
âIâll be damned. How could I forget? If it is really not possible, then I can earn some money from Young Master Chen. The Long family is giving me 3 million, and since the Chen family is richer, I can blackmail them for at least 4 or 5 million. This transaction is worth it. Furthermore, I have the information that Young Master Chen wants. Hehe!â
Hou San laughed.
Then, he walked over to Qin Yaâs side and said, âMiss Qin, can I trouble you to give me Young Master Chenâs contact number?â
âSorry, I no longer have any connection with him. So, I donât have any way to contact him anymore.
Moreover, donât you think that you are being ridiculous by using me to threaten him?â Qin Ya smiled coldly.
âHehe, what do you mean ridiculous? I have the information that he wants. Even if you are worth nothing in his eyes, the information that I have is valuable. After all, he really got screwed over badly by Long Shaoyun and me. Hence, Young Master Chen will never be able to clear his name over the accusation of raping a member of the Ouyang family. So, he is desperately searching for me to prove that he is innocent.â
Since Hou San wonât be staying in this country any longer, these secrets werenât secrets anymore, and he wasnât afraid of offending anybody else as well.
When Qin Ya heard those words, she jerked her head up. âWhat did you say just now?â
