Chapter 101 I promise, you'll be hurt twice as badly as she was.
Chapter 101 I promise, you'll be hurt twice as badly as she was.
In an overly suffocating space, even if one's thoughts become clearer, they cannot reach the same level of clarity as under normal circumstances.
Therefore, at this moment, apart from Li Xueqian, whom Jiang Qin felt was the most likely candidate, she couldn't think of anyone else for the time being.
After all, not long ago, Li Xueqian had her assistant Yuan Yue send her something under the guise of thanking her for her help.
Given her family background, Jiang Qin has always been polite and well-mannered since childhood, always afraid of causing trouble. Even after her grandmother passed away, she officially entered the workforce and stepped into a broader and more complex society, and this attitude remained unchanged.
In her interactions with others, as long as they treat her politely, she will always treat them politely in return.
Aside from Li Xueqian, Jiang Qin couldn't think of anyone else capable of doing such a thing who would have a problem with her.
After all, the only person in the company who disliked her was probably Liu Wenli.
Although the other family is better off than hers, there are plenty of people across the country and even the world who have better family backgrounds than her.
Liu Wenli comes from a middle-class family; her parents are ordinary migrant workers, ordinary people who have moved to Beijing, and have no special background.
Therefore, only the initial suspect remained—Li Xueqian.
But, Li Xueqian...
Jiang Qin forced herself to calm down and think carefully, but she still felt that something was not right.
After all, every time Li Xueqian and Yuan Yue came to Huo's, someone had to come down to pick them up, and when taking the elevator at Huo's headquarters, an employee card was required, and the employee card also had restrictions.
Without an employee card, the elevator is completely unusable.
Furthermore, a large portion of these employees' employee cards do not grant them access to floors other than their own office floor.
Moreover, not to mention that, even when entering the door, ordinary employees of Huo's company have to show their employee ID before they are allowed in.
When security guards see an unfamiliar face, they will immediately approach and inquire about the situation.
Moreover, the Huo family is holding its anniversary celebration today. Regardless of whether the attendees are wealthy or not, their fame and important status are undeniable, so naturally the Huo family will ensure their safety.
Therefore, if someone's identity is unusual, they certainly won't be allowed in.
Jiang Qin pictured the man with the fierce face in her mind, and she was 100% certain that she had never seen him before.
However, if someone can enter the Huo Group and reach the floor where the president's office is located, it means that person is definitely connected with someone in the Huo Group.
After all, Huo's regulations stipulate that employee cards cannot be lent out, and if discovered, the employee will be immediately dismissed.
In addition, the headquarters' employee cards are all identity-verifying, and each swipe leaves a detailed time record.
There are also cameras installed in the elevator. Employees who work on the floor where the president's office is located will naturally not be so careless. In other words, the probability of an employee card being lent out is basically zero.
When she opened the door, the other person was standing right in the middle of the doorway.
This indicates that the other person had been waiting outside for a long time, and that the powder that caused her to suddenly lose consciousness...
Unless you're a professional, who would even think of using something like that? And who could possibly get their hands on something like that?
Recalling that moment, Jiang Qin's heart raced, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
The feeling of being completely powerless to resist and falling into a coma in front of bad guys is truly terrifying.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Qin felt that the chances of that person being someone arranged by Li Xueqian were really slim.
The reason is simple—it's because Li Xueqian was in a car accident today!
She had a broken bone; could it be that she returned to the Huo family before she even left the CEO's office?
Otherwise, how could her people have gotten into the Huo family?
And as I said before, you need an employee card to go to the floor where the president's office is located.
Even Li Xueqian herself had to be taken upstairs. If that man obeyed her, where did he get the card from?
That's illogical.
Furthermore, she had seen the news that Su Lejia had sent her earlier; Li Xueqian was already in a hospital ward.
That makes even less sense—
After all, Horstley had left in a hurry.
So you're in such a hurry, you must be going to the hospital to see Li Xueqian, right?
Therefore, even if Li Xueqian herself still wanted to attend the anniversary celebration, given Huo Sili's concern for her, he probably wouldn't allow Li Xueqian to leave the hospital without getting proper rest.
The truck suddenly jolted, and the dogs in the nearby kennels barked loudly.
Jiang Qin pursed her lips, buried her head in her knees, and tried to relax her body, afraid that her mental tension would cause more problems.
At that moment, Jiang Qin clearly felt that her hands were tied behind her back, and tied very tightly.
Even the slightest movement caused her wrists to rub painfully against the hemp rope, especially her left wrist, where the scabs had only recently fallen off, making the pain particularly intense.
"Woof! Woof woof!..."
The barking of dogs continued, along with various restless noises, making the stench even stronger.
Jiang Qin, who already had a sensitive nose and became even more acutely aware of smells after becoming pregnant, suddenly felt extremely suffocated.
Jiang Qin wanted to continue thinking about what had just happened, but the road was becoming increasingly bumpy, and the mental exertion was making her body more tired. In the end, she stopped herself from thinking about it any further.
I don't know what time it is now, the whole truck smells bad, stuffy and dark.
Jiang Qin tried hard to control herself from thinking about anything complicated or that might evoke fear in her, and started counting to keep her mind clear.
Huo Sili wasn't stupid, and her seat was very close to Lin Xiaoyu's.
If she hasn't arrived by the appointed time, the girl will likely notice something is wrong.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether Huo Sili went to the banquet hall or stayed at the hospital with Li Xueqian.
This was not within Jiang Qin's consideration at the moment.
There was nothing she could do; things had come to this point. If it were today, she would be forced to pass away.
She still hoped to leave this world as happily as possible.
but……
In the darkness, Jiang Qin raised an eyebrow and slowly pulled down the untied rope, wrapping it in her right hand while holding one end of the rope in her left.
However, ever since she was attacked and abandoned when she was five years old, she has felt that a person's greatest ability and charm is not how much money they can earn in their lifetime.
Rather, it means that no matter when, where, or what situation the other party is in, they can—
Self-help.
Therefore, in addition to studying and working part-time to earn money during her youth, she devoted herself to learning and mastering various escape skills, fraud prevention knowledge, and first aid knowledge.
I never imagined that one day it would actually come in handy.
At this moment, Jiang Qin was incredibly grateful to her past self.
They just wanted to escape from this dark, smelly truck bed.
Simply untying the rope is clearly not enough.
……
"How's it going? Did you find it?"
He Xu rushed in, and as soon as he stepped into the president's office, Huo Sili quickly walked over.
He Xu shook his head, and Huo Sili suddenly froze.
Just then, a bell rang.
He Xu glanced at Huo Sili, "Mr. Huo, please answer the phone first. We've already called the police. They'll contact me as soon as they have any news. Please don't panic, calm down."
Huo Sili pursed his lips, and only after the ringtone automatically ended did he take out his phone.
Then, upon seeing the note displayed on the screen, his expression suddenly turned cold.
When Huo Chishen answered the call, his tone was gentle at first glance, but upon closer listening, it became unsettling.
"Sili, I heard your sister-in-law is missing? Do you need your older brother to help you look for her?"
Huo Sili's face turned icy cold. "Huo Chishen."
"Big brother's here, what's wrong? I know you're worried about your sister-in-law going missing, but you shouldn't..."
"Mom's not here, you don't need to pretend to be a good older brother." Huo Sili interrupted Huo Chishen.
Before the other person could speak, the man's voice grew even colder as he continued.
“If Qinqin gets hurt, even just a little bit, I guarantee you will be hurt a hundred or a thousand times worse than her.”
On the other end of the phone, Huo Chishen, who was sitting in a chair, looked rather grim, perhaps thinking of the time his wheelchair was kicked away. He gripped the teacup tightly in his hand.
On this side, Huo Sili didn't have time to wait for Huo Chishen's reaction and hung up the phone with a beep.
He then personally called the person checking the vehicle to urge them to hurry, and after another half hour, he finally received good news.
"Mr. Huo, we have already sent plainclothes officers to chase after it, but the truck is now on the mountain road. The terrain there is treacherous, making it inconvenient to take action. But don't worry, we have contacted the local village committee, and they will force the truck to stop."
"Mrs. Huo will definitely be rescued, but the medical conditions there are..."
The other person said a lot in one breath, but Horstley obviously didn't have the patience to listen.
He seized upon the key words and asked questions almost uncontrollably.
"Where? Which mountain road? What's the truck's license plate number?"
The person in charge of the liaison was clearly a little taken aback, and was just about to say something when...
Then I heard the man's pleasant voice on the other end of the phone, speaking in a tone that was clearly anxious and earnest, almost pleading.
"I'll bring the doctor myself. Please make sure she's safe. Thank you."
