Abandoned on a stormy night, I divorced and remarried into a wealthy family.

I really want to punch this shameless bastard to death.

"Wu Haoqi, if I treated you the way you treat people, would you go crazy too?" Song Qintang's eyes were filled with tears, her chin held high. "I'm just a nobody, I'm not afraid of a fight to the death."

Wu Haoqi looked down at her, at her calm yet ruthless face. Come to think of it, she was indeed more willing to go all out than he was.

"Qintang, all I want is for you to listen to me and not try to climb up to any man. You're the one who provoked me."

Song Qintang laughed in exasperation, wiping away the blurry tears from the corners of her eyes. "I won't listen to you, and I won't resign."

"You have no right to interfere in my life. This is the last time. If there is a next time, I will repay you a hundred times more cruelly than you did."

Although the Wu family is not considered a prestigious family, they are still extremely wealthy and have a sense of pride.

Song Qintang had already made up her mind: if he dared to come again, then no one should live; she would go to the entrance of Haoqi Auto Repair to do a live broadcast.

Anyone can make things difficult for their superiors, right?

"You don't have to resign, but you must voluntarily return to work at the hospital, leave Huaxing, and report to me at all times. Qintang, the divorce certificate can only sever our legal relationship, but in reality, you will always be mine!"

"If you can't do it, I promise next time it will be even bigger!"

"You...no one in your hospital will have an easy time."

The threat and shamelessness in his tone made every cell in Song Qintang's body resist.

She had no idea how she could have fallen in love with such a shameless man.

She finally got a divorce and thought she was rid of him, but he still keeps pestering her!

Perhaps the three years of oppression had instilled a rebellious streak in her, and she blurted out, "What if I don't?"

"You wouldn't want your mother-in-law to suddenly have an accident, would you? She seems quite weak right now; I heard even a small amount of bacteria could kill her!"

"Wu Haoqi, you're not even human!" Wu Haoqi's shamelessness completely enraged Song Qintang.

He knew perfectly well that she cared most about Lu Pingping, yet he repeatedly used her to threaten her.

Wu Haoqi smiled slightly, leaned close to her ear, and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "I'll wait for your news!"

After saying that, he didn't press the matter further and turned to leave, satisfied.

.....

"Snapped!"

Long Jianjia smashed the teacup on the table far away, and the photo in her hand, in which Wu Haoqi cornered Song Qintang against the wall, biting her ear and rubbing her cheek, was crushed and deformed.

Wu Haoqi had promised to accompany her to choose a ring today, but unexpectedly, the thing he said he had something to do turned out to be that he was still trying to rekindle his relationship with Song Qintang.

That bitch Song Qintang seduced her husband!

How can you be so shameless!

Do you really think she's dead?

...

Song Qintang returned home after 10 p.m.

She didn't turn on the light, put down her bag, and collapsed onto the sofa, completely exhausted.

The whispers of my colleagues kept replaying in my mind.

"Dean Zhang is really having a run of bad luck. I heard he was called to the health bureau to write a self-criticism."

"Hey, you're right! Director Luo from the neurosurgery department is about to be evaluated as an expert, and he's probably blind by now."

"..."

She hates causing trouble for others, yet she always ends up hurting others because of her.

At this moment, her mind was in complete turmoil, and she didn't know what to do.

She thought that as long as she divorced Wu Haoqi and went to Huaxing, she could get rid of him and live her own life.

Is it really true that she will never be able to escape him in this lifetime?

Just as Song Qintang was feeling troubled, she suddenly heard a faint sound of a lock being opened outside the door.

This is a building with three apartments per floor, very close together, and good sound insulation, so she thought the sound was coming from next door.

I got up and turned on the light, "Snap... Snap snap."

She pressed the switch several times, but the light still wouldn't turn on.

Is there a power outage?

Song Qintang groped her way to the sofa to get her phone in the dark. Just as she touched the phone, the door was flung open with a bang.

The intense light that pierced through the darkness blinded her.

The hurried footsteps alerted her; if it were the property management, they wouldn't have forced their way in.

If the power was cut off beforehand, does that mean the external surveillance cameras were also turned off?

Song Qintang quickly opened the call log.

"Who are you? Why are you...?"

The person arrived so quickly that Song Qintang didn't even have a chance to call for help. The other person immediately pinned Song Qintang down with one hand and struck her hard on the back of the neck with the other.

A wave of dizziness and weakness washed over her instantly, and Song Qintang's vision went black. Even the pain in the back of her neck slowly subsided.

Soon, two fully armed men stuffed Song Qintang into a suitcase and dragged her out of the rented house.

It was past 10 p.m., and many people were already at home washing up and getting ready for bed. There were no people walking their kids in the neighborhood, so the two of them didn't attract any attention.

He dragged his suitcase directly into the van that had arrived.

Huaxing Group.

The Xiangchao Chamber of Commerce meeting had just ended when Yue Heng rushed in. "Chairman Gu, Dr. Song called me just now. After it rang twice, I called back and the phone was switched off."

Yue Heng shouldn't have reported such a trivial matter, but their relationship wasn't close enough for them to contact each other late at night.

Of course, it's possible that the call was made to the wrong number, but after ringing twice, the call ended, and when I called back, the phone was switched off.

The strange thing is that if Song Qintang had made a mistake, she should have sent a message to let them know.

Out of professional instinct, Yue Heng immediately made a phone call to check.

Before it was time to leave work, Song Qintang hurriedly ran out of the laboratory.

He eventually found out, of course. From the moment he started investigating out of doubt to the moment he learned about Wu Haoqi's disturbance at the hospital that day, it only took him five minutes.

"We've already checked the surveillance footage in Dr. Song's apartment complex, but we haven't received any news yet," Yue Heng added.

Yue Heng was well aware of how special Song Qintang was to Gu Huizhou.

If it was just a typo and it turned out to be correct, he might get a few scoldings at most, but it would also show that he is meticulous and responsible.

But if there really is a problem and he neglects it, the consequences will be beyond his ability to bear.

.....

Song Qintang was woken up by the urge to breathe; even breathing was difficult in the confined space.

Her limbs were bent and curled up until they were numb. The extreme discomfort made her want to stretch them out, but fear and panic made her restrain her physical discomfort.

She was kidnapped?

This terrifying thought made every nerve in her body tense.

Based on their methods, they must be repeat offenders.

She didn't offend anyone, except...

Just then, a conversation could be heard outside.

"I've brought the person. Transfer the down payment first so we can take the photos!"

After a few seconds of silence, a digitally altered voice rang out.

"Take a photo first, then I'll pay you after I see the photo!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's angry voice rang out.

"Are you fucking kidding me? We agreed beforehand that we'd only take photos after you kidnapped them to pay the down payment!"

"If you back out now, believe me, I'll expose you right now!"

"Even if you're trembling, I'm not afraid. My phone number is a virtual number, and the transaction was in cash. What proof do you have?"

"If this gets out, you're the ones who kidnapped people, so... I advise you to be sensible. I didn't say I wouldn't give you the money!"
