Who is your brother-in-law, is he very capable?
Hearing An Nuo’s question, Su Xingyang was momentarily stunned.
His brother-in-law, of course, was the husband of his cousin, Su Yuyan!
But regarding the second half of the question, Su Xingyang lost his confidence.
Indeed, he knew that Zhou Yu was a martial arts expert with extraordinary skills, but the mysterious man in the black robe driving the car was also a master.
In broad daylight, this mysterious man was able to knock him and An Nuo unconscious and take them away without attracting attention. This alone spoke volumes.
Su Xingyang was not foolish. The fact that the other party dared to commit kidnapping in broad daylight, and with a specific purpose, meant they were no ordinary organization.
Yes!
Su Xingyang had reason to suspect this was a group operation.
But who on earth would want to kidnap an inconspicuous little guy like him?
The Su family was merely a second-rate family in Yunhai. Before yesterday, the family head was his eldest uncle, Su Qishan.
Holding someone who wasn't the son of the Su family head hostage, was their brain short-circuited?
For a moment, Su Xingyang even felt that the person behind the mysterious man must be a complete idiot!
"Su Xingyang, say something! If you don't speak, I'm scared."
After a long silence without a response from Su Xingyang, An Nuo was so anxious that tears were about to fall again.
She was just a university senior, kidnapped and still in the trunk. How could she remain calm?
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Don't worry, if he dares to touch you, I'll let him touch me first," Su Xingyang reassured her again.
"..."
An Nuo was speechless at his words.
What did he mean by "if he dares to touch you, I'll let him touch me first"?
Was that supposed to be comforting?
"An Nuo?"
"Actually, my real name isn't An Nuo, it's Chen Anan, and I'm a senior at Yunhai University."
"Actually, my real name is Su Xingyang, and I'm a student at Jiangnan University."
"..."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Can you stop deliberately teasing me? I can't bring myself to laugh."
"Sorry, I thought that would make you less scared."
Chen Anan felt both angry and amused, but at this moment, she truly couldn't laugh.
After thinking for a moment, she returned to the previous topic.
"Su Xingyang, you haven't answered me yet. Is your brother-in-law very capable? Can he save us?"
Su Xingyang said uncertainly, "Probably he can."
He and Chen Anan didn't know where they were, so they had no confidence in guaranteeing that his brother-in-law could rescue them.
Being in the zoo was entirely different from being in the trunk of a car.
He had said that just to comfort Chen Anan.
"I know you're just trying to comfort me, it's okay, I understand how dangerous our situation is."
As Chen Anan spoke, tears began to fall again.
She wasn't that strong.
Faced with such a low-probability kidnapping event, she knew she couldn't blame anyone.
But she had only wanted to earn some money to treat her mother's illness, that was all.
Chen Anan had never intended to harm anyone.
Even with Su Xingyang, she had only followed the mysterious man's instructions to lure him into a corner.
Getting two thousand yuan so easily, Chen Anan had naturally been suspicious at first, but she simply couldn't resist the temptation.
She was desperately short of money!
And her mother's illness couldn't wait too long.
Thinking of this, Chen Anan sobbed, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been greedy for that two thousand yuan, I wouldn't have been used by others."
"Do you need money urgently at home?" Su Xingyang asked.
Unsure of their location, he could speak, but he dared not call for help loudly.
If he angered the mysterious man driving, and the latter decided to kill them, it would be a disaster.
At the same time, Su Xingyang began to admire Chen Anan.
He didn't expect that with her mouth taped shut, she could actually use her tongue to remove the tape.
What a master...
"My mother is ill and needs a large sum of money for treatment. I had no choice but to try and earn that two thousand yuan... If I had known it would lead to you being kidnapped, I would never have agreed to it... Woo woo woo... I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
As she spoke, Chen Anan also felt wronged.
What was wrong with her trying to raise money to treat her mother?
It was all the fault of too many bad people in this world!
"I don't blame you. You're like me now. We're even," Su Xingyang said.
"..."
Although she knew Su Xingyang didn't mean anything else, Chen Anan felt something was off.
It was as if...
He was saying she deserved it...
It seemed to be the case.
Didn't she deserve it?
Trying to harm others and ending up harming herself!
"By the way, how did you do that just now? How did you use your tongue to remove the tape from your mouth?"
Seeing Chen Anan remain silent, Su Xingyang spoke again.
He was very curious how she had managed it.
If it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to.
"I... my tongue... is a bit special..." Chen Anan stammered.
Her tongue was longer than that of a normal person.
Coupled with the fact that the mysterious man had only used one layer of tape, it wasn't secure.
With a little effort, she managed to remove it.
Of course, it wasn't actually easy; ordinary people would find it very difficult to do.
"How special?" Su Xingyang asked.
"Can we not continue this topic?" Chen Anan said with annoyance.
Although they could now speak and communicate, the incident from earlier made her very reluctant to talk about it.
Fortunately, there was no light in the trunk. If Su Xingyang had seen her actions and expression at the time, she would have looked very unsightly.
"Ah? Oh, alright."
Su Xingyang realized Chen Anan's embarrassment and finally understood.
However, he was even more puzzled as to why his brother-in-law and cousin hadn't discovered his disappearance yet!
That shouldn't be the case!
...
3 PM.
Zhou Yu and Su Yuyan were tired from walking around the zoo.
After eating something else at a restaurant, they planned to drive home.
It wasn't until Zhou Yu got into the driver's seat that he realized something was wrong.
"Yuyan, did we forget about Su Xingyang?"
He looked at Su Yuyan in the passenger seat, feeling a little embarrassed.
Logically, it was wrong for them to have such low awareness of one person when they went out together.
Moreover, Su Xingyang was Su Yuyan's cousin.
For reasons of both propriety and sentiment, they shouldn't have overlooked this "victim" who "attempted to be a wingman."
Being forced to play the role of a third wheel was indeed being a victim...
Zhou Yu felt a little guilty towards Su Xingyang.
"It's okay. He hasn't shown up all this time. Perhaps he went home early on his own," Su Yuyan guessed.
She naturally assumed that Su Xingyang, feeling awkward about appearing, had gone home alone.
This was very much in line with his usual behavior.
Besides, in broad daylight, in a zoo full of people, what could possibly happen?
"Why don't you call Uncle Chuan and ask?" Zhou Yu suggested, still uneasy.
"No need. Let's just go back. It's not far from home anyway, just an hour's drive," Su Yuyan replied, shaking her head.
Seeing this.
Zhou Yu did not insist further.
