Lin Hao moved the bookshelf aside and felt a button inside. He pressed it.
Then, a sliding door, the same color as the wall, automatically opened in front of him.
Lin Hao turned on the light and immediately saw Li Xue, who was locked inside.
Li Xue's mouth was taped shut, her hands and feet were bound, and she was lying on a small sofa.
"Xiao Xue!"
Li Qingyuan, who was right behind Lin Hao, shouted when he saw his granddaughter and rushed in.
Lin Hao followed closely and quickly untied Li Xue.
Li Xue looked at Lin Hao and her grandfather, Li Qingyuan, and burst into tears almost instantly.
She had always been a model student, a good girl, and had never experienced anything like this.
She woke up early that morning, intending to go to work. As soon as she stepped out the door, she was abducted.
It was like a movie; she never dreamed she would be kidnapped one day.
She always thought that kidnapping and robbery only happened in movies and news, never imagining it would happen to her.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa, wu wu wu..."
Li Xue cried uncontrollably in Li Qingyuan's arms.
"It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Xue," Li Qingyuan patted his granddaughter's shoulders and back, comforting her softly.
But at this moment, Lin Hao frowned.
He saw a red slap mark on Li Xue's cheek.
"Who did that?"
Li Xue, still crying, was startled by Lin Hao's question.
But then, she reacted, wiped her tears, and looked at Lin Hao with red, swollen eyes, saying, "That Young Master Zhao, I heard his subordinates call him Young Master Zhao."
Lin Hao nodded and then asked Li Xue, "Do you want to hit him, or should I do it for you?"
"Hit what?" Li Xue was confused and looked at Lin Hao.
"Hit that Young Master Zhao."
"Ah? Is... is he still here?" Li Xue was startled and instinctively shrank into her grandfather Li Qingyuan's arms.
Lin Hao saw Li Xue's fear and his anger intensified.
However, Lin Hao looked at Li Xue calmly and said, "Yes, he's here, but don't worry, he's already fainted."
"That's good, that's good," Li Xue patted her chest, relieved, and then said to Lin Hao and Li Qingyuan, "Let's leave quickly. After we get out, we'll call the police and have him arrested."
"No rush."
Lin Hao waved his hand and then walked towards the unconscious Zhao Ming.
He didn't ask Li Xue if she wanted to hit Zhao Ming again, because it would be pointless.
Lin Hao shook his head, then looked at the unconscious Zhao Ming on the sofa and suddenly slapped him!
"Slap!"
A loud slap echoed through the room.
"Ah!"
Zhao Ming cried out in pain and woke up.
Li Xue, who had followed them, turned pale when she saw Zhao Ming wake up.
But then, she saw Lin Hao raise his hand and slap Zhao Ming in the face again.
"Slap!"
Another loud slap sounded.
Zhao Ming, just regaining consciousness from the pain, was stunned by Lin Hao's slap.
Lin Hao looked at the bewildered Zhao Ming and said calmly, "It seems you don't remember anything I said."
"Since you can't remember, I'll help you remember."
With that, Lin Hao grabbed Zhao Ming's arm.
As Zhao Ming reacted, he felt an intense pain shoot through his mind!
"Ah!"
Zhao Ming cried out in pain, but then his expression changed.
Because Lin Hao was squeezing his arm, crushing his bones bit by bit!
An unparalleled pain reached his brain nerves.
At this moment, Zhao Ming didn't let out any piercing screams; he was in so much pain that he couldn't even breathe.
His entire face was twisted like a pretzel.
At the same time, his eyes were bloodshot, and he glared at Lin Hao as if he wanted to devour him.
Lin Hao ignored him and continued to squeeze Zhao Ming's arm.
Zhao Ming stared with bloodshot eyes, then passed out.
But the next second, Lin Hao touched Zhao Ming's neck, and Zhao Ming jolted awake as if he had been electrocuted.
After Zhao Ming woke up, Lin Hao continued to squeeze his arm.
Time ticked by.
After Lin Hao woke Zhao Ming up three times, he finally released his grip when Zhao Ming didn't wake up the fourth time.
By then, Zhao Ming's arm looked intact, but the bones in his forearm had been completely pulverized.
Feng Jinlong stood by, not daring to breathe.
At the same time, his fear of Lin Hao increased by another level.
He had initially thought that the little dark-skinned guy was the one to be wary of, compared to Lin Hao.
But he never expected that the truly formidable person was this handsome Lin Hao, who looked harmless.
Feng Jinlong secretly shook his head, and at this moment, even his desire for revenge weakened.
"Let's go."
Lin Hao ignored Feng Jinlong and walked out first.
As Xiao Hei, Liu Yongchang, Lai Qingsheng, Li Qingyuan, and Li Xue followed, Liu Yongchang looked at Lin Hao nervously and asked, "Brother, is that Zhao Ming dead?"
"No," Xiao Hei shook his head and said, "He's just suffered too much stimulation to the brain and has fallen into a deep coma."
"In other words, he's in a vegetative state. Whether he can wake up depends on his fate."
"That's good, that's good," Liu Yongchang patted his chest, relieved.
As long as no one died, it wasn't a big deal.
Meanwhile, Li Xue, walking beside Li Qingyuan, looked at Lin Hao with a mixture of fear and curiosity.
The cold ruthlessness Lin Hao had shown Zhao Ming in the room had indeed startled her.
She hadn't expected that Lin Hao, who usually seemed so "cheap," had such a terrifying side.
However, she also knew that Lin Hao did it to stand up for her.
Thinking that Lin Hao was standing up for her, a different feeling began to emerge in her heart...
"Xiao Xue, what are you thinking about?"
Li Qingyuan, seeing his granddaughter lost in thought, asked with some worry.
He wondered if his granddaughter had been traumatized and suffered psychological damage.
If that were the case, it would be troublesome.
Generally, such illnesses required long-term companionship and guidance to recover, and it was difficult.
For example, some people's childhood trauma could never be recovered from.
"N-nothing..." Li Xue was thinking about Lin Hao when she suddenly heard her grandfather's question and was startled.
Blushing, she quickly got into the car.
Li Qingyuan was puzzled and somewhat bewildered.
He had initially thought his granddaughter was traumatized and had a psychological disorder, but now it seemed otherwise.
Shaking his head, Li Qingyuan got into the car and headed home with Lin Hao and Xiao Hei.
