Chapter 39
“What children?”
Lin Shan’s eyes flickered, and she said in a tough tone, “Aren’t your children at your house? Why are you here?”
Qiu Tong could not be bothered with her. Ignoring her attempts to obstruct her, she forced her way in and opened all the doors. But they were empty.
Not only was there no sign of the children, even Mr. Cui was gone.
Qiu Tong frowned and glared at Lin Shan. “Where did Mr. Cui go?”
“Qiu Tong, what do you mean?”
Lin Shan put on a brave front and pointed at Qiu Tong with her hands on her hips. “You treated me so badly before, but you have the cheek to turn up at my door now? You already know my relationship with Mr. Cui. Why do you care where Mr. Cui went? What are your intentions?”
Qiu Tong’s patience ran out and she glared at her coldly. “I’m asking you one last time, where did Mr. Cui go?”
Lin Shan shivered under her merciless gaze, but she still braced herself and said, “Are you shameless? You want to seduce Mr. Cui… Ah!”
A strong force gripped her throat tightly. Qiu Tong looked at her with an especially cold gaze, her valiant face suffused with a thick murderous aura.
“Where is he?”
Lin Shan was so scared that her lips were trembling. She was hesitating whether she should say it or not, but in that moment of hesitation, the hand at her throat suddenly contracted, and she was unable to breathe.
“Cough cough…”
Her face turned purple as she tried her best to grab Qiu Tong’s fingers. However, Qiu Tong’s hands were like iron pincers, and she could not pry them apart. Just as she thought she was about to suffocate, Qiu Tong suddenly released her hands.
Lin Shan coughed so hard that her face turned red. She looked at Qiu Tong with fear.
“Next time, I won’t let go.”
Qiu Tong narrowed her eyes and asked coldly, “Where is Mr. Cui?”
“I really don’t know!”
Lin Shan’s voice was thick with tears. She covered her neck and shrank back desperately. “He only said he was going out to do something. I don’t know where he went!”
“Call him.”
Qiu Tong took a fruit knife from the kitchen and forced Lin Shan to call Mr. Cui. “Speak normally. If you try anything funny…”
She pressed the knife hard against Lin Shan’s neck. Lin Shan nodded repeatedly with a pale face.
Qiu Tong took Lin Shan’s phone and easily cracked her password. She gestured for her to make the call.
It rang for a long time before Mr. Cui finally answered the call. His tone was extremely impatient. “What is it this time?”
“Are you coming over tonight?”
Lin Shan looked at the knife by her neck and tried her best not to tremble. “My mom called me and asked when we’re getting married…”
Mr. Cui interrupted her impatiently. “Didn’t I tell you that we will talk about this next time? I have something important to do now. Don’t bother me!”
“Wait, where are you? If it’s not convenient for you to come over, I can come to you!”
Lin Shan quickly stopped him. Mr. Cui made some vague replies but did not give her an exact location. He then hurriedly hung up.
She looked at Qiu Tong in fear and was about to cry. “I tried my best but he didn’t want to tell me…”
Qiu Tong had successfully hacked into Mr. Cui’s phone during the call and located his location.
Her eyes were fixed on the flashing red dot on the screen. She stared coldly at Lin Shan. “I’ll settle our scores next time!”
Ignoring Lin Shan’s horrified expression, Qiu Tong immediately zoomed in on the flashing red dot on the screen and was shocked to discover that it was in a high-end villa compound.
There was a high chance that the children were also brought there!
Qiu Tong returned home and gathered some items. Just as she was about to leave, Qiu Xingqiao stubbornly wanted to follow her. “I want to go too!”
His small face was full of determination. Qiu Tong knew that if she did not bring him along, Qiu Xingqiao would just charge on alone. She might as well keep him by her side.
As the two of them approached the entrance of the villa compound, they were stopped by the security guards.
“Who are you?”
He looked at Qiu Tong and Qiu Xingqiao warily. “Do you have an invitation? If not, you can’t enter!”
Qiu Tong was about to explain when she saw a figure walking towards her from the corner of her eye. She hurriedly pulled Qiu Xingqiao and hid in the bushes.
After a while, Mr. Cui appeared with a card in his hand, humming. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Qiu Tong’s eyes darkened. It seemed like the children had been brought here and sold to someone inside!
