Tang Nian was startled and looked back at the helicopter taking off, feeling he had been tricked.
Just then, a bodyguard ran over. "Mr. Tang... Mr. Tang, we couldn't find Madam."
"What?"
Tang Nian's eyes widened in fury, and a wave of anger surged to his head. His vision went black, and he fainted.
He had ultimately underestimated Meng Jingwei. He never expected Meng Jingwei to play a feint with him, nor did he expect her to be so audacious as to abduct his wife and not return her!
...
On the helicopter, Meng Jingwei looked at Shen Liannuo beside her and pointed to the earphones hanging nearby, gesturing for Shen Liannuo to put them on.
Shen Liannuo immediately put on the earphones and gave Meng Jingwei a thumbs-up, saying, "Awesome!"
"It's our great teamwork!"
Meng Jingwei said loudly, looking at her.
The chirping birds were a common species in the Hidden Clan with a very distinctive call. So, when the birds chirped, Shen Liannuo knew Meng Jingwei was signaling her. With the help of the bodyguard beside her, the two jumped directly from the rooftop.
However, Meng Jingwei had scouted the landing spots in advance and left markers, which was why Shen Liannuo and the bodyguard landed safely.
Sitting in the helicopter, the two looked in the direction of Xian Mountain peak, both falling into silence.
Thirty minutes later, the helicopter landed on the rooftop of the Night Scene Club building in Lancheng.
Meng Jingwei, Shen Liannuo, the helicopter pilot, and the bodyguard also disembarked.
"Did you release Tang Nian's wife?"
After getting off the plane, Shen Liannuo asked Meng Jingwei with a worried expression.
Meng Jingwei looked at the bloodstain at the corner of Shen Liannuo's lips, frowned with heartache, and shook her head, "No."
"Young Madam."
Ahead, Song Ci and his group quickly jogged over.
Seeing them arrive, Meng Jingwei immediately inquired, "Have everyone been transferred?"
Song Ci nodded. "As per your instructions, we transferred the Old Madam and everyone else to a safe place early on. Our subordinates said that less than twenty minutes after we left, Tang Nian's men stormed Qin Xin Residence."
But as expected, they found no one.
Initially, Meng Jingwei had asked Song Ci to guard everyone at Qin Xin Residence. But then she thought, she had kidnapped Tang Nian's wife, and given Tang Nian's doting nature towards his wife and daughter, he wouldn't give up easily.
After much deliberation, Meng Jingwei had no choice but to contact Song Ci and ask them to transfer quickly.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Meng Jingwei smiled, her small face full of relief, but her eyes held a hint of fatigue.
Song Ci shook his head. "It's what we should do."
He looked at Shen Liannuo. "Miss Shen, you must have been frightened. Shall I call a doctor for you?"
Shen Liannuo raised her slender jade finger, her right thumb wiping the bloodstain from the corner of her lips, and smiled calmly, "I, Shen Liannuo, am not made of mud. I'm not that fragile."
"Let's go first. It's not safe here."
Meng Jingwei patted Shen Liannuo's shoulder and led the group down from the rooftop to the Night Scene apartment.
Upon entering the apartment, Meng Jingwei smelled the familiar scent, as if Qing Muye were still by her side, giving her an inexplicable sense of security.
The three went to the study.
Entering the study, Meng Jingwei walked to the water dispenser, poured cups of water for Song Ci and Shen Liannuo, and handed them over.
"Thank you."
"Thank you, Young Madam."
The two sitting on the sofa thanked her in unison.
Meng Jingwei's gaze was faint as she shook her head, her arms crossed, pacing back and forth in the study.
Song Ci was indeed thirsty. He took a sip of the hot water and said, "Zhuo Rui Technology is up for auction tomorrow. With this incident happening at this juncture, I'm afraid the auction won't go smoothly."
The implication was that Tang Nian would not let them off the hook.
"If anyone is to blame, it's that bitch Tang Wanxing for daring to kidnap Uncle Meng, and also..." Shen Liannuo wanted to say more, but her gaze inadvertently fell on the worried Meng Jingwei, and she pursed her lips, saying nothing further.
