My sister never calls me brother.

"Brother Niu, you...you're going to use a gun?"

"What? Are you scared?" Niu San grinned.

"No, Brother Niu, aren't you afraid of causing trouble? It'll be hard to clean up the mess then," Xu Zheng said, looking somewhat nervous.

"What's there to be afraid of? I have my own methods. He's just a high school student with no background. I have plenty of excuses to make him disappear from this world." Brother Niu's eyes gradually turned ruthless. Having been repeatedly humiliated by Zhou Han, he began to choose some extreme ways to retaliate.

Xu Zheng remained silent, but had to admit that Zhou Han was incredibly lucky. Last time, he had managed to stab Zhou Han several times but failed. If he had had a gun then, he probably would have made that bastard disappear long ago.

"Even if this brat is good at punches and kicks, does he dare to take a bullet?" Niu San didn't believe that Zhou Han wouldn't die after being shot a few times.

"So, Brother Niu, what are you planning to do?" Xu Zheng asked tentatively.

"Find an opportunity, pick a good time, and send this kid to his death with a single shot!" Niu San's expression turned ferocious.

"This isn't a good idea. Zhou Han is with other people every day, which will inevitably cause trouble." Xu Zheng felt that this was inappropriate.

"Do you have a better idea?" Niu San looked at Xu Zheng and seemed to be up to no good.

"Yes." Xu Zheng nodded and said seriously, "Zhou Han has a girl he cares about a lot, named Lin Nianwei. As long as we tie her up, then Zhou Han will be at our mercy."

Xu Zheng recalled the past, realizing that he had only wanted to stab Lin Nianwei to vent his hatred, but Zhou Han had rushed up to take the blow for him.

It's safe to assume that Zhou Han and Lin Nianwei's relationship is definitely extraordinary, since they're both willing to risk their lives for each other. Lin Nianwei is probably Zhou Han's biggest weakness, and he can take full advantage of her.

"Oh? That's interesting. Go on..." Niu San thought it was interesting and felt that Xu Zheng's method could be used.

"All we need to do is kidnap the girl, then threaten Zhou Han to not call the police or tell anyone. He'll come to this remote place all by himself, and then we can do whatever we want with him. We can even dispose of the body and cover it up. It's incredibly convenient..."

“Okay, good, let’s do it this way.” Niu San patted Xu Zheng on the shoulder and said meaningfully, “I didn’t expect you to be so smart. No wonder the young master favors you so much. You’re bound to achieve great things in the future.”

"Not at all, it's just that Zhou Han has a weakness. Wouldn't it be foolish not to use her?" Xu Zheng smiled awkwardly.

"That's right, we must succeed this time." Niu San snorted coldly, speaking in a fierce tone—

"Let's see this kid get arrogant..."

"I'd like to see how long he can keep jumping."

Chapter 1426 Kidnapping

The next day, school was over.

Lin's father went to pick up Lin Nianwei at the usual time.

The father and daughter drove along the normal route, and the atmosphere inside the car was relatively quiet.

Mr. Lin would occasionally glance at his daughter in the rearview mirror, still staring blankly out the window as usual.

Lin Nianwei seems to have always been quiet with her parents and rarely takes the initiative to communicate with them. She is clearly chatting and laughing with Zhou Han at school, but as soon as she gets home, she reverts to her usual coldness and acts like a stranger.

Mr. Lin felt a pang of embarrassment, especially the quiet atmosphere, which made him uncomfortable. He felt that this was not like a father and daughter, but too distant. What kind of father and daughter don't talk to each other?

He thought of his colleagues' daughters, who were all very sweet-talking and clingy to their fathers, making his own daughter seem almost like an adopted child.

So Lin's father thought about it and decided to make conversation, even if it was awkward, it was much better than saying nothing at all.

"Honey, did anything interesting happen at school today?"

"No, it's the same as usual," Lin Nianwei replied calmly.

"Impossible, right? Something always happens, doesn't it? Don't you have anything you want to share with your father?" Lin's father pressed on, unwilling to give up.

"No, what interesting things happen at school? It's always so boring," Lin Nianwei said casually.

"Really?" Mr. Lin frowned, asking casually, "By the way... how's that Zhou Lei doing?"

"Hmm?" Lin Nianwei finally reacted. Zhou Lei was Zhou Han's fake name. She didn't expect her father to remember it so clearly.

"Oh? Finally, you've reacted. Looks like you care a lot about this boy." Mr. Lin's face showed a smug smile, as if he had caught his daughter by the scruff of her hair.

"No...no..." Lin Nianwei responded awkwardly, her eyes darting around.

Lin's father didn't say anything, but judging from his daughter's reaction, he knew she was completely saying one thing and meaning another.

"Why bring him up all of a sudden?" Lin Nianwei asked back.

"It's nothing, I was just asking. After all, it's the first time you've introduced a friend to the family, so it's bound to leave a lasting impression," Lin's father replied calmly.

“Is that so…” Lin Nianwei lowered her head.

"Have you had any interesting experiences with that boy named Zhou Lei?" Lin's father asked meaningfully.

"Huh? What could we possibly have to do with each other?" Lin Nianwei frowned, trying to keep her secret to herself.

"Dad was just asking, not trying to stop you from making friends. I just hope you can be mindful of the limits, since you know the situation at home," Lin's father said helplessly.

Lin Nianwei lowered her head. Although her father had put it in a very tactful way, she knew very well that he was referring to her engagement.

The car was quiet until an accident suddenly occurred on the road—

A piercing screech of brakes rang out, the sharp sound sending chills down one's spine.

Then, with a loud crash, Lin's father's Audi collided with a van that was not driving according to the rules.

Mr. Lin was breathing rapidly, covered in cold sweat, and stared wide-eyed at the van in front of him.

If Lin's father hadn't reacted quickly, it could have caused an even bigger accident.

Mr. Lin quickly turned to look at his daughter and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Lin Nianwei rubbed her forehead, feeling a little dizzy. Luckily, she had worn her seatbelt, otherwise, things would have been dangerous.

"I'm fine, Dad, how are you?"

"What could possibly happen to me?" Lin's father unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the car door. "You stay in the car, I'm going down to check. Damn it, do these people even know how to drive? How could they just crash straight into us..."

After getting out of the car, Mr. Lin looked at his vehicle and saw that the front bumper was damaged and the van was also damaged.

"Tsk! This is insane... Do you guys even know how to drive?!"

Lin's father pointed at the van and complained, thinking to himself, "This has happened, why isn't anyone getting out?"

So Lin's father went up, patted the car door, and urged...

"Get off! Get off now!"

The van door was slashed open, and dozens of burly men got out, all wearing black vests and looking menacing. Niu San was among them.

When Lin's father saw so many people, his momentum faltered, but he still argued his case.

"How do you drive? Aren't you watching where you're going?"

"We did it on purpose, haha." Niu San smiled calmly.

"What did you say?" Mr. Lin frowned, thinking he had misheard.

Niu San grinned, pulled out an iron rod from behind his back, and slammed it hard on Lin's father's head. "Get out of my way!"

"You...you..." Lin's father staggered back two steps, blood slowly flowing down his forehead, and then he fainted.

"Dad!!!" Lin Nianwei exclaimed in surprise, terrified in the car.

Niu San smiled and gave his men a look, signaling them to help him.

Several subordinates understood and went straight up to forcefully open the car door, pulling Lin Nianwei out of the car.

"What are you doing?! Let me go!" Lin Nianwei's face showed an angry expression.

"What are you doing?" Niu San stroked his chin, looked at Lin Nianwei's figure, and thought she was a beauty in the making—

You'll find out then.

"Tie him up, let's go!"

At this moment.

Zhou Han and the girls had just arrived home.

"What are we having for dinner?" Zhou Qiqi asked abruptly.

"Ask your sister Aili, and if you ask me, then it's all instant noodles." Zhou Han said irritably. It seems that Qiqi is always worried about what to eat when it's time for her to go home.

"How about I make sushi for you?" Airi Miyazaki said after thinking for a moment.

"Ugh, sushi again? Isn't Japanese food too monotonous? It's not nearly as varied as Chinese cuisine. It's okay at first, but it gets really cloying soon~" Zhou Qiqi was nitpicking, clearly not wanting to talk properly.

"What did you say? You always eat the most, and you still have the nerve to say such things?" Miyazaki Airi put her hands on her hips in anger, feeling that Zhou Qiqi was deliberately making things difficult for her, because she was the least skilled at Chinese cuisine and had basically never learned it.

"Actually, I... I think it's pretty good. Ai Li's skills are already quite good." Yao Xiaorui timidly expressed her opinion.

“Yeah, so what if it’s Japanese food? It’s even more expensive to eat Japanese food outside. We have a chef at home, so don’t take it for granted.” Zhou Han tapped Qiqi on the head, telling her to behave and not cause trouble.

"I don't care, I want to eat Chinese food," Zhou Qiqi said angrily, refusing to listen.

"Tsk!" Zhou Han pointed outside, "There's a noodle shop called Very Chinese downstairs, you should go there."

"Eek!!!" Zhou Qiqi was speechless after being rebuked by her brother, and became even angrier.

But just then, Zhou Han's phone suddenly rang—

"Excuse me, I need to take this call." Zhou Han took out her phone, saw it was Sun Qi, and walked aside to answer it. "Hello, what's up?"

"Something bad has happened, Brother Han." Sun Qi paused, then said in a very serious tone—

"Lin Nianwei was kidnapped by Niu San and his gang."

"Huh?!" Zhou Han's eyes widened, her face changed drastically, and she thought in shock—

No way?

Xiao Wei has been kidnapped!

Chapter 1427 Encirclement

An abandoned old building.

This area is about to be demolished and rebuilt, so there are no residents around it anymore.

Night had fallen, and the pitch-black night enveloped everything, with the incessant chirping of crickets filling the air.
