Chapter 401: Chapter 402: Zhu Lie and several others arrive
Su Changfeng’s knees, even the heavens and earth could not make him kneel, but at this moment, he knelt before Jia Siqi. Such humiliation should never appear on Su Changfeng’s body, but for Tang Qiulu, Su Changfeng had no choice but to do so.
"Haha~!" Jia Siqi laughed heartily. Despite the previous tortures he applied, Su Changfeng never bowed his head, but Tang Qiulu could make him compromise. This made Jia Siqi feel gratified, he said, "Su Changfeng, weren’t you very tough before? Why aren’t you tough now? Kneel down and kowtow to me a few times, and I’ll think about whether to release her."
Without any hesitation, Su Changfeng directly kowtowed forcefully, a loud bang.
"Jia Siqi, as long as you’re willing to release her, even if my head becomes bloody, I won’t object. This time, you won; you’re the true winner, I lost," Su Changfeng said.
Jia Siqi deliberately handed the phone to Tang Qiulu, saying, "Look how pathetic he is now. He’s kneeling down and admitting fault to me. What do you need a useless man like him for? Just follow me, I can give you the life you want, what do you think?"
Tang Qiulu’s heart ached so much her breathing became uneven. All her attention was focused on Su Changfeng at the moment; she couldn’t hear Jia Siqi’s words, looking like a rain-drenched pear blossom, she said, "Get up, quickly get up, I don’t want you to kneel to such a scumbag."
Hearing Tang Qiulu’s words, Su Changfeng clenched his fists, looking particularly anguished, but still didn’t stop kowtowing.
Jia Siqi suddenly grabbed Tang Qiulu’s hair, viciously saying, "You bitch, you need to tell him now, you’re my woman, Jia Siqi’s woman."
Tang Qiulu shook her head, tears streaming down her face, saying, "I am Su Changfeng’s wife, in this life, and the next."
"Your love is deep, huh? Let’s see where your love will get you." Jia Siqi maliciously slapped Tang Qiulu, then said, "Is that what you said? Then I’ll take you back and play with you in front of him, he can only watch helplessly, doing nothing."
After packing up the phone, Jia Siqi’s henchmen forcibly took Tang Qiulu away, swaggering out with the group.
Xu Weiwei sat powerless on the ground; since Jia Siqi entered, she hadn’t uttered a single word. Xu Weiwei knew she couldn’t help at all, and only after Jia Siqi left did she muster the courage to approach Li Chen.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, wake up quickly." Xu Weiwei said frantically, unsure what to do, and could only keep shaking Li Chen.
Once Li Chen regained clarity, he asked, "Where’s Qiulu? Where is she?"
"She was taken by Jia Siqi," Xu Weiwei said.
Li Chen’s face turned despairing. In the end, he hadn’t protected Tang Qiulu, failing Su Changfeng’s task.
"Brother Chen, what should we do now?" Xu Weiwei asked.
Li Chen, supported by Xu Weiwei, struggled to sit up, saying, "All we can do now is wait for Zhu Lie. Only when he arrives can he sort this out. We hope time is enough; can’t let Jia Siqi succeed, otherwise... otherwise..."
Li Chen stopped talking, unable to imagine what would happen if it truly occurred.
Heaven Island Airport.
Three people, carrying nothing, hurried out of the airport and hailed a taxi.
"Driver, go to this address." Zhu Lie, in the front passenger seat, showed the driver the location sent by Tang Qiulu on his phone.
"Here’s 500, don’t take detours. We have an urgent matter, get us there as fast as possible." Zhu Lie handed over five big notes.
The driver initially wanted to trick them, but with 500 in hand already, had no need to. He said with a smile, "No worries, I’ll take the shortest route and get you there quickly."
Upon arriving at the lodge, Zhu Lie attempted to contact Tang Qiulu, but no one answered, causing unease within him.
"What now? No one answers Tang Qiulu’s phone." Zhu Lie asked anxiously.
"We’ll go in first to check things out." Dao Jiu led the way into the lodge.
Dao Jiu’s approach was straightforward; as he reached the lodge’s door, instead of knocking, he kicked it open.
Li Chen and Xu Weiwei, sitting in the living room, trembled with fear. When Li Chen saw Dao Jiu, his heart skipped a beat, mistakenly thinking Jia Siqi’s henchmen had returned, but seeing Zhu Lie, he exhaled heavily.
"Boss Zhu, you’re finally here," Li Chen said.
Zhu Lie brushed off Li Chen’s identity, simply asking, "Where’s Tang Qiulu?"
"Taken by Jia Siqi, you must head to Jia Siqi’s house quickly, or you’ll miss the chance," Li Chen said.
Zhu Lie wasn’t familiar with the Jia family’s status on Heaven Island, but no matter who they were, even if it meant overturning Heaven Island, he’d rescue Su Changfeng and Tang Qiulu.
"Jia Chenwen?" Dao Jiu asked.
"Jia Siqi is Jia Chenwen’s grandson," Li Chen explained.
Zhu Lie looked at Dao Jiu; since he could name Jia Chenwen, maybe he knew the Jia family, so he asked, "Who’s Jia Chenwen?"
Dao Jiu sneered, "You and Feng Bin go to the Jia family, I’ll find this old guy, Jia Chenwen."
The three split into two groups to set off.
Zhu Lie and Feng Bin headed to the Jia family, while Dao Jiu went to the Jia Group.
"Brother Chen, can they really rescue Tang Qiulu and Su Changfeng?" Xu Weiwei asked anxiously.
Li Chen shook his head; this was Heaven Island, and he didn’t know Zhu Lie’s strength, but they had to place their hopes on Zhu Lie and the others. No one else could help.
"Let’s hope they can; I don’t want to see them hurt," Li Chen said.
"Now they’re truly together, Tang Qiulu must not fall into Jia Siqi’s..."
Jia Group.
In the office, Jia Chenwen was reviewing documents when his tall secretary entered without knocking.
"Don’t you know how to knock? Pack your things and get out," Jia Chenwen said.
"Chairman, there’s someone outside requesting to see you. Our security can’t hold him back." The secretary entered with a panicked face.
Not happy to hear it, Jia Chenwen said, "Someone dares to cause trouble at my Jia Group? Call more security, teach him a lesson, and throw him out."
Just as Jia Chenwen finished speaking, a voice came from the door: "Jia Chenwen, it’s been years, you’ve grown bold lately, huh? Do you think your group’s trash can compete with me?"
