Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 642 Dawn (48)

After knocking the man unconscious with a single blow, Xiang Yong looked at Yan Zhen lying on the ground, then at the car with its headlights on parked not far away, and could hardly believe that things had gone so smoothly.

It was truly a stroke of luck for him.

He muttered to himself that maybe even God couldn't stand his recent bad luck, so He created this perfect opportunity, allowing him to easily kidnap Yan Zhen, and there was even a ready-made means of transportation for him to move Yan Zhen.

He picked Yan Zhen up, opened the car door, and threw her into the back seat of the sedan. Xiang Yong was worried that she would wake up in the middle of the journey, so he also tied her hands and feet up.

Then, without a hurry, he hid the motorcycle in the bushes, slung the tripod over his shoulder, got into the driver's seat of the car, and drove away wobbly.

Three hours later, Xiang Yong drove to an abandoned school in a small town near Yuncheng.

The school has been abandoned for many years, and its eerie buildings resemble crouching giants in the night.

The car drove into the campus, its wheels crunching over fallen leaves.

Xiang Yong had scouted the area and knew there were rumors of it being haunted; basically, no one came here at night.

He parked the car, took out a flashlight from his bag, and opened the back door, whereupon he met Yan Zhen's gaze as she lay in the back seat.

Xiang Yong was taken aback; he hadn't expected Yan Zhen to wake up so quickly.

But seeing Yan Zhen's bewildered and terrified expression, he smiled coldly, grabbed Yan Zhen's foot, and dragged her out of the car.

"What are you doing? Xiang Yong, what are you trying to do?" Yan Zhen struggled desperately, his hand seemingly unintentionally pounding on the trunk, his voice shrill, "This is kidnapping! This is illegal!"

"When you let that kid surnamed Jing beat me up, didn't you know it was illegal?" Xiang Yong spat on the ground and warned, "Behave yourself, I'll let you go after I take the pictures of what I want. If you don't cooperate, I'll dig a hole here and bury you alive!"

Yan Zhen seemed to be frightened and immediately fell silent, letting Xiang Yong drag her into the nearest classroom.

Xiang Yong didn't notice that after he brought Yan Zhen into the classroom, a faint light came on from the trunk of the car—Chu Huian woke up when Yan Zhen was patting the trunk, and at first she didn't know what was happening.

Once she gleaned from Yan Zhen's struggling and screaming that the mother and daughter had been kidnapped, she immediately covered her mouth.

After Xiang Yong dragged Yan Zhen away, Chu Huian immediately took out her phone and dialed the police.

She didn't know where she was, but luckily her phone could locate her.

After calling the police, Chu Huian clutched her wildly beating heart and strained her ears to listen intently to the sounds outside.

The kidnappers haven't returned since taking Yan Zhen away, so now is a good opportunity to escape.

She struggled to straighten up in the limited space of the trunk, pried open the interior panel, found the pull switch on the side, and gently pulled it. With a soft "click," the trunk was opened from the inside.

Meanwhile, in a classroom not far away.

Xiang Yong set up a camera light, laid a plastic sheet on the ground, pushed Yan Zhen, whose hands were tied, onto the plastic sheet, and with one hand holding a phone and the other preparing to strip Yan Zhen of his clothes—his plan was simple and brutal: to film Yan Zhen naked and send it to Chu Huian in exchange for money.

If Chu Huian doesn't give it to him, he'll spread the video.

According to Yan Yuxi, Chu Huian is an extremely proud woman and would never allow her daughter's nude videos to circulate everywhere; she would definitely pay for them.

But when the actual filming began, Xiang Yong realized he had oversimplified things. Yan Zhen was struggling on the ground like a fish, and while he held his phone in one hand, he couldn't control her at all with the other.

Xiang Yong had to stop filming and go outside to get the tripod from the car, intending to set up his phone to take pictures.

But as soon as he stepped out of the classroom, he stopped abruptly. He stared wide-eyed as the trunk of the car parked outside quietly opened, and a pair of feet emerged from it.

Chu Huian originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that the kidnappers' attention was entirely on Yan Zhen and escape first.

But she mustered up her courage and opened the trunk. As soon as she got out of the car, she turned around and met Xiang Yong, who was about five or six meters away.

Both of them were stunned.

Chu Huian was the first to react. She ran out of the school, not even bothering to pick up her phone.

Xiang Yong was initially stunned, but when he saw Chu Huian running away, he immediately rushed forward, grabbed Chu Huian from behind, and pushed her to the ground.

A few minutes later, Xiang Yong, cursing and swearing, dragged the tied-up Chu Huian into the classroom and threw her next to Yan Zhen.

He never expected that Chu Huian would be hiding in the trunk.

Is this woman sick?

Why would she hide in the trunk for no reason?

Xiang Yong originally only wanted to film a few videos of Yan Zhen to extort some money, but now he hasn't been able to film the videos and has instead tied up the mother and daughter together.

He paced back and forth in the classroom, glancing at Yan Zhen and Chu Huian every now and then, torn between continuing to film the video so he could use it to repeatedly ask Chu Huian for money, or asking Chu Huian directly for money and releasing the mother and daughter once he got it.

Why not just take the money and run? If Chu Huian gets involved, the nature of this matter could very well escalate to kidnapping and assault. If Chu Huian reports it to the police afterward, he'll have to go to jail.

Just as Xiang Yong was about to ask Chu Huian for money, he heard Yan Zhen lower his voice and ask Chu Huian a question.

"Mom, did you call the police?"

Chu Huian nodded gently.

Xiang Yong whirled around, glared at Chu Huian, and said sternly, "You called the police?"

Chu Huian was startled and stammered, "N-no..."

Xiang Yong didn't believe him: "Where's your phone? Hand it over!"

Chu Huian: "..."

Xiang Yong quickly found Chu Huian's phone outside. After unlocking it with facial recognition, he opened the call log and saw that the most recent alarm record was just a few minutes ago.

Realizing that the matter had escalated to the level of kidnapping and that the police would arrive soon, Xiang Yong's eyes turned red with anger. He smashed his phone to pieces, rushed up to Chu Huian, and slapped her hard across the face: "Why did you call the police!"

Chu Huian's face went numb from the blow, and she stared blankly at Xiang Yong, unable to react for a moment.

This was the first time in her life she had been hit, especially in the face.

"Are the police on their way?" Xiang Yong was both flustered and angry. He grabbed Chu Huian by the collar and pulled her up from the ground. "Speak!"

Chu Huian snapped out of her daze and was about to speak when Yan Zhen suddenly interrupted, "That's right, if you know what's good for you, release us now! Otherwise, when the police arrive, we'll make sure you rot in jail!"

Xiang Yong was almost furious: "Then I'll kill you all before the police arrive!"

"No!" Chu Huian said quickly. "I called the police, but they said it would take at least forty minutes for them to get here. If you let us go now, we can pretend nothing happened and we won't tell the police who you are."
