Chapter 1473 - Did You Think You Could Escape?

Chapter 1473: Did You Think You Could Escape? It was 10 PM and there was barely anybody on the road. Ning Shuqian drove and headed towards the destination given by the kidnappers without delay.
It was about an hour and a half drive from the south to the east. Ning Shuqian was excited and anxious throughout the trip. There were no words to describe her complex emotions.
She was excited because she finally knew Yuya’s location and confirmed that she was fine. Also, she could exchange money for her. However, she was also anxious. What if the other party went back on their words? If they hurt Yuya, what would she do?
Ning Shuqian finally reached the meeting point anxiously.
It was an unknown street in the east.
Looking at the new yet familiar street, Ning Shuqian stood rooted to the ground as if she was paralyzed. The sight before her got her worked up and brought up bad memories.
Although the address changed, the place remained the same.
Even with her eyes closed, Ning Shuqian could see the cold and dark lane, the dirty and foul trash being piled up and the messy laundry poles filled with the underwear of men and women.
In the house, it was dim and yellow. There was a greasy wooden table with rotten and moldy food, a plastic night pot under the bed and dirty clothes stained with sweat lying around. Also… that disgusting sound of a man and woman on the bed could be heard along with the creaking bed.
This was the place of her old life.
This dirty, revolting poverty life of her past was something she had wanted to forget. Just thinking about it made her feel disgusted.
After all these years, this memory was buried deep in her mind. Nobody knew about it, even Wen Haowen!
Ning Shuqian looked miserable. Her body trembled uncontrollably and she tightened her grip around the steering wheel. She did not even have the energy left to turn it.
Was it a coincidence that they asked to meet here, or was it another plot?
Ning Shuqian was extremely uneasy and regretted her actions a little. Because of her anxiety, she rushed here like a madwoman without a care. Now, she wanted to retreat.
But, what about Yuya?
At this moment, Ning Shuqian was in a dilemma.
Just then, Ning Shuqian received another message.
I’ll give you ten minutes, or you’ll never see your daughter again!

Ning Shuqian panicked. She could not care about anything else and slowly got out of the car. The sky was dark and the lane was pitch black. The area lighted up by the car’s headlights revealed that this place was getting torn down and nobody was living here anymore.
The other party was indeed prepared for asking to meet here.
Ning Shuqian stumbled on her high heels. She took out her phone and pressed on the flashlights. The path was broken and Ning Shuqian nearly fell down many times because of the trash lying around.
After walking for around two minutes, a dim light could be seen in this pitch-black lane. Ning Shuqian knew that the house was her destination.
Ning Shuqian finally came to her senses. She realized that coming to such a place in the middle of the night alone was simply too foolish. If Yuya being
kidnapped
was really done by Wen Xinya out of revenge, what sort of scary end was waiting for her?
Ning Shuqian was dismayed and retreated instinctively.
While she moved back, she tripped over an object.
Ahh—
she cried as she lost her balance and fell heavily onto the ground.
The immense pain numbed her brain and she lost all thoughts. She scrambled along the ground and prepared to leave this terrifying place. At this moment, she had forgotten that Yuya was waiting for her to be saved.

Now that you are here, do you think you can escape?
A cold and sinister voice said behind her.

Ahh—
A sharp cry left the terrified Ning Shuqian’s mouth instinctively.
Ning Shuqian ran without thinking. As of now, she was not even considering what would be left of Ning Yuya if she ran away from this place.
In the next second, her arms were grabbed forcefully. The hands that trapped her were thick as trees, holding her in place in this dimly lit house.

Let me go… Let me go… Help…
Ning Shuqian struggled. In the midst of the chaos, she even left behind her luxurious high heels.

In your dreams! I’ve finally lured you here, why would I let you go? Let me warn you, you better be honest to me. Otherwise, you’ll get it from me.
That person’s voice was as cold as ice and extremely terrifying.
Ning Shuqian was dragged away. Her bare feet stepped onto the cold, uneven ground which was littered with trash. It was excruciating. There was a natural difference in the strength of men and women. She was not strong enough to fight against his grip and could not retaliate.
The other person was speaking the truth.

Who are you? What do you want? Didn’t we agree to exchange money for my daughter…
Ning Shuqian was extremely frightened. The person was dressed in black in this darkness, blending in the surroundings. She could only see a blurred outline in the dark moving about.

You’ll find out who I am soon,
the person said sinisterly.
Hearing this voice, a chill went down Ning Shuqian’s spine.
Now, she was absolutely certain that Yuya’s disappearance was not just a normal kidnapping case.
A sharp pain was felt on her wrist, and it was close to being broken. The intense pain reminded her that this person was full of malice towards her.
Ning Shuqian was alarmed. She was so horrified her mind went blank. She tried to suppress her fear and reasoned with the man.
I know you kidnapped my daughter for the money. I’ve already brought ten million yuan here for you. If… if you think it’s not enough, I… I can add another five million…

On the mention of the five million, Ning Shuqian’s heart ached. In order to save Yuya, she had pawned all of the jewelry she received from Wen Haowen over the years. Her personal funds had taken a huge dip too. If she had to take out another five million yuan, it was as good as giving up a pound of flesh.

Shut up!

The cold and malicious voice gave her goosebumps.
Ning Shuqian forgot how to struggle and was dragged helplessly into the house.
