Chapter 113: Great favor 113 Chapter 113: Great favor 113 Meanwhile, Su Cheng and Fu Han returned to Su Chengâs car at the fastest speed possible, preparing to look for Nan Qing themselves, starting from the last place the vehicle was seen.
In reality, this method was like looking for a needle in a haystack, entirely reliant on luck, because there were countless intersections along the way and you could never know at which one you might lose them.
Today was Saturday, and they encountered a traffic jam at every intersection, with cars inching forward.
The navigation indicated that there had been an accident up ahead with three cars rear-ending each other, turning four lanes into a single lane, causing a massive traffic jam.
Su Cheng anxiously drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, his handsome face showing anger, sadness, and desperation.
A flash of inspiration struck Fu Han. She opened the carâs sunroof and stood on the seat, looking around. Her idea was simple: if there had been an accident, then everyone would be stuck in traffic, including the kidnapper of Nan Qing.
This method, truly the last resort in a desperate situation, was the dumbest idea, but this time it seemed like the heavens were on their side. While scanning the area, she actually spotted a car at an intersection to their left, and the man in the passenger seat bore a resemblance to the one she had seen in the cafe.
Fu Han and the others hadnât seen the license plate number in the video, but they had captured the necessary footage. She hurriedly checked the video and confirmed both cars had scratches on the right side of their doors.
She was shocked by her discovery, almost doubting her own luck, which was so incredible it was hard to believe.
Trying to control her racing heart, Fu Han managed to say in as calm a voice as possible, âSu Cheng, I think I may have found the kidnapper.â
Hearing her words, Su Cheng got excited too. He said, âAt this point, better to wrongfully accuse than to let them go. You call the police, Iâll go check, like using a dead horse as a living horse doctor.â
After saying this, Su Cheng turned off the engine and got out of the car, crouching as he ran towards the vehicle in question.
Fu Han nervously watched them while dialing the emergency number.
Perhaps Fu Hanâs gaze was too eager, because the man sitting in the driverâs seat of the car they were watching suddenly looked up in Fu Hanâs direction.
Everything happened so suddenly that, even though Fu Han wanted to dodge, it was too late; she could only pretend to be calm and look away, while still keeping an eye on them from the corner of her vision.
The man in the driverâs seat turned and said something to the man in the passenger seat, who then stuck his head out of the window.
Caught off guard, Fu Han and the man made eye contact, both were greatly shocked. This was indeed the man from the cafe.
Fu Hanâs heart raced as she desperately tried to stay calm, telling herself to keep cool. After a few secondsâor maybe even lessâshe managed a smile and politely nodded at the man.
In her panic, this was the only action she could think of that wouldnât arouse his suspicion, and she hoped her performance would fool him.
Surprise registered on the manâs face, but he quickly nodded back at Fu Han and then ducked back into the car.
By this time, Su Cheng was less than five meters from their car. Fu Han could no longer stand on top of the car and had to sit back down in the passenger seat.
Fu Han stealthily opened the car door and also crouched down, running towards the manâs car. Su Cheng alone would have a hard time taking on two men, and she could help, at least a little.
When Su Cheng reached the side of the car, he yanked the door with all his might. To his surprise, he managed to open it.
He was overjoyed, realizing that it was because the car was so dilapidated that it must have been acquired from a scrapyard by the kidnappers.
Nan Qing was lying quietly in the back seat, her long eyelashes casting large shadows on her flawless white cheek, looking as pure as a fallen angel.
Knowing he was no match for the two kidnappers, Su Cheng used all his strength to pull at Nan Qingâs legs and miraculously dragged her out.
By then, the kidnappers were alerted and got out of the car, approaching Su Cheng from both sides, the sun revealing something reflective in their palms.
Su Cheng protected Nan Qing with his body while warily watching the two men, determined that even if he was to fall here today, he would not let any harm come to Nan Qing.
âHelp! Kidnappers!â
Fu Han rushed forward, pointing at the two men and shouting loudly.
The area was already congested with traffic, and upon hearing her, everyone started peering out, with some preparing to get out of their cars.
âYou win this time, but youâll see,â the man from the cafe snapped at Fu Han, then walked away with his accomplice, abandoning their car.
âYou protect Nan Qing, Iâll chase them,â said Su Cheng as he was about to hand Nan Qing over to Fu Han.
âDonât chase them, they have knives,â Fu Han stopped him quickly. Su Cheng might not have seen, but she had seen very clearly just a moment before: both men had blades wrapped in their sleeves. If she had been even a minute later, Su Cheng would likely be lying in a pool of blood now.
The sound of police sirens rang out. After a brief explanation of the situation, they escorted Nan Qing to the hospital under police protection.
The doctor pumped Nan Qingâs stomach, then took her straight to the ward.
Fu Han stayed with her in the ward while Su Cheng went downstairs to handle the fees.
Suddenly, Fu Hanâs phone rang; it was Liang Tao calling to ask if they had set off and when they would arrive at the crew.
It was then that Fu Han suddenly remembered that today was the opening day for âYearn for Return,â and as photographers, they should be present. She was about to set off when Nan Qing went missing.
Feeling somewhat uneasy at the thought that He Xing might be listening on the other end, Fu Han was reluctant to share her dayâs ordeal with Liang Tao.
She had a strange feeling that even if she told the truth, someone would surely say she was making excuses.
Eventually, she only mentioned that there had been a little incident, that they were now on their way, and did not utter another word; Liang Tao didnât say much after hearing that, just told them to be mindful of the time and not to be late.
After hanging up, Fu Han let out a sigh. It was already one oâclock, and the opening ceremony was at two. The trip from A City to H City took two hours without traffic, and even if she had wings, she wouldnât be able to fly there in time.
âHow is Nan Qing doing?â The voice of a middle-aged woman came from the doorway of the ward.
Turning her head, Fu Han saw that not only Nan Qingâs parents had come, but so had Su Chengâs parents.
All four people had made life difficult for her yesterday, and although she didnât bear a grudge, she also wouldnât be overly enthusiastic. She proceeded to explain Nan Qingâs condition in detail.
Lady Nangong held Nan Qingâs hand and began to weep, but Mr. Nangong was very grateful to Fu Han: âMiss Fu, we cannot thank you enough for your great kindness; I will surely repay your favor in days to come.â
