Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 831 - 820: The Honest Man Used

"I disagree, what if you’re deceiving me?" Feeling the malicious intent from the kidnapper, Ye Qiu suddenly said coldly.

The kidnapper was startled by him, and at the same time Shen Xiu was in a state of Heart Palpitation: "Ye Qiu, let’s not anger him, okay? Xiao Huan is still in their hands, I don’t want anything to happen to him."

Ye Qiu looked at her expressionlessly, making Shen Xiu even more nervous. For some reason, she felt that Ye Qiu looked at her as if she were a dead person. Could he have discovered something?

No, impossible, I’ve been monitoring him all along, he hasn’t had a chance to call the police, nor any way to know about their alliance!

"I heard you’re a professor, shouldn’t intellectuals be smarter? If you don’t want your son to get hurt, be obedient and listen to me." The man stared at Ye Qiu, full of malice.

"Precisely because I think a lot, I demand a handover of money and person at the same time. Who knows if you’ll release the person once I jump down? I want to see the person right away, or I’ll throw all this money into the river." Ye Qiu, who had been very compliant, suddenly toughened up, making the kidnapper somewhat nervous, and Shen Xiu even more so.

She tugged at Ye Qiu’s clothes, her face bitter and mournful: "Ye Qiu, I’m begging you, don’t risk Xiao Huan’s life."

The kidnapper echoed: "It seems your wife is smarter. I’ll count to three, drop the box and obediently jump into the river."

"Counting four, five, six won’t work; I want to see the person." Ye Qiu refused to let go or listen, remaining expressionless.

Shen Xiu feared the more the time dragged on, the greater the risk of exposure. Seeing Ye Qiu suddenly refusing to comply at this critical moment, she immediately became furious: "Ye Qiu, are you doing this on purpose? Do you not want to save Xiao Huan? If you hate him, just say so. We should have divorced back then. If it weren’t for you, Xiao Huan wouldn’t have been kidnapped, right? Us being orphan and widow, who would bother with us?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu thought, yes, indeed he was kidnapped because of me, wasn’t it for my money? Did they really need to put on such a show?

But thinking this way temporarily can’t be voiced. Instead, he righteously says: "Xiao Xiu, you absolutely must not be threatened by the kidnappers. They are exploiting your psychology. The more you’re scared, the more pleased they’ll be. Before getting the money, they wouldn’t dare harm Xiao Huan. But now, since we haven’t seen him yet, once they get the money, they can do as they please."

What he said wasn’t without reason, so Shen Xiu couldn’t think of a reason to refute him right away and became even more anxious.

However, the kidnapper wasn’t a pushover. He was neither someone of Shen Huan’s nor Xiao Ze’s connections, merely using each other. Seeing that he still hadn’t acquired the money after so long, he became impatient, considering Ye Qiu, a scholar, powerless, and decided to approach with a knife.

"What are you trying to do?" Ye Qiu asked warily, placing Shen Xiu behind him, though his spiritual power maintained constant vigilance.

"What for? Since you’re ungrateful, I’ll just have to take matters into my own hands." The kidnapper sneered, stepping closer, exchanging a glance with Shen Xiu behind Ye Qiu.

Shen Xiu, having understood his glance, became increasingly nervous, contemplating inwardly whether to go through with this.

Her eyes flickered non-stop, fearing Ye Qiu might not die and she’d truly have no retreat. But on the other hand, if he "accidentally" died this time, wouldn’t all his inheritance belong to her?

Shen Xiu battled internally, waiting for the kidnapper to advance with the knife when she screamed and inadvertently pushed Ye Qiu, sending him straight toward the kidnapper’s blade.

"Police, stop!" The hidden police couldn’t hold back any longer.

The kidnapper saw the police and haphazardly stabbed once in a panic before grabbing the two boxes and fleeing.

Ye Qiu was stabbed in the arm, bleeding profusely, while Shen Xiu was utterly dumbfounded. Her mind raced, wondering how there could be police? Then she looked at Ye Qiu, seeing his cold gaze, she felt as if plunged into an icehouse.

It’s over, truly over!

She kept thinking this repeatedly, then swallowed. No, there’s still hope; she could claim she acted in panic, wasn’t intentional. The police, standing from afar, couldn’t have seen clearly, right?

Meanwhile, she suddenly remembered, now that the police came to them, what about Xiao Ze’s side? Did the police catch him? Was he hurt? 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Shen Xiu clenched her fists, her heart filled with anxiety.

"Professor Ye, are you alright? We’ve called for an ambulance and will take you to the hospital immediately." A female officer approached with concern.

"Oh, I’m fine. Did you catch the other kidnappers? Is the child okay?"

As Ye Qiu asked, Shen Xiu listened attentively, keenly focused.

The female officer laughed gently, yet the laugh sounded like a death knell to Shen Xiu, making her feel even colder inside.

"Professor Ye, thanks to your timely report, the other two kidnappers have also been caught, and the child was safely rescued without any harm."

Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s good."

"Let me help you to the car for a while."

"Okay, thank you."

"Miss Shen, Miss Shen?"

"Hmm?" It took two calls from the female officer before Shen Xiu responded.

"Please come with us, rest assured, the child is okay, you’ll see him shortly."

"Is that so." Shen Xiu forced an unnatural laugh, harder than crying.

The female officer looked at her suspiciously, thinking perhaps she was overwhelmed, and then helped them into the car before assisting her colleagues, for so much money in boxes couldn’t just be left unattended, they were evidence!

Ye Qiu rested his eyes, but his sharp spiritual power sensed Shen Xiu’s hateful expression, causing him to suddenly open his eyes, catching her off guard, and smiled meaningfully: "Looking at your expression seems like you hate me a lot. Shouldn’t you be happy Xiao Huan was rescued?"

"No, how could I not be happy?" Shen Xiu quickly concealed her feelings, but her face remained exceedingly unnatural.

After a moment of silence, she asked, "When did you call the police? Didn’t I ask you not to? What if..."

"Wasn’t there no ’what if’?" Ye Qiu interrupted her. "I don’t know why you insist on stopping me from calling the police, but it seems the police are indeed trustworthy, isn’t it?"

Shen Xiu bit her pale lips, hatred evident, yet dared not show it. She’s unwilling, where did it go wrong? She had been monitoring the whole time.
