half thorns, half joy

Xiao Zihan's car was at the front, and while staring at the phone's reply, he anxiously prayed for Tang Xuan.

The police car did not pull its siren, and followed Xiao Zihan about 500 meters behind the car.

After catching Lin Qiao'er, Xiao Zihan felt a little calmer after knowing that the woman was only alone and had no other helpers.

But when he thought of Tang Xuan's shrill cry, Xiao Zihan was still worried.

Because the photo only had half a face and there were scars on it, neither the police nor Xiao Zihan's subordinates could find out Qian Susu's real identity immediately.

Originally, Xiao Zihan planned to save Tang Xuan after he found out and got to know her better, but he couldn't wait any longer.

What if I can't find it?Has he been waiting this long?
Xiao Zihan was anxious and angry, and slapped the steering wheel hard.The car suddenly let out a piercing horn, resounding over the suburbs.

"Tang Xuan..." The tip of Xiao Zihan's tongue softly rolled over Tang Xuan's name.

The place the police traced was the same as the place Lin Qiaoer confessed to. Xiao Zihan stepped on the gas pedal, and it didn't take long before he approached the bungalow.

"I'm here, don't come here yet." Xiao Zihan lowered his voice and said something to the communicator pinned to his collar.

"Be careful, we will slowly surround you."

Xiao Zihan hummed, "Got it."

Xiao Zihan stopped the car, opened the trunk, dragged down the bag containing the cash, held it in his hand, and walked towards the bungalow while dialing the phone number that had contacted him earlier.

Before he got close, he heard a bell ringing inside.

It seems that it is here.

The person on the other side obviously knew he was coming, so he answered the phone and said directly, "Xiao Zihan, stand there and don't move. If you dare to take a step forward, I will kill Tang Xuan immediately!"

Xiao Zihan stopped immediately, looked at the pitch-black bungalow, and replied, "I brought you the money you asked for, and I came alone. You let Tang Xuan go."

"Put down the money and go back." Qian Susu ordered on the phone.

Xiao Zihan put down the money bag, took a few steps back, and stared in the direction of the bungalow without blinking under the faint light of the moonlight.

Qian Susu stuck out half of her head from the bungalow, looked around, and then shouted at Xiao Zihan: "You, raise your hand, and walk in by yourself."

Without any hesitation, Xiao Zihan raised his hand and walked towards Qian Susu.

Just when Xiao Zihan was about to walk to Qian Susu's side, Cai Jinyu's call came from the hidden headset.

"Zihan! That woman's name is Qian Susu! It's the former manager of your family, Wang Ming's lover. She came back this time to seek revenge from you! Her target is you! Don't listen to her!"

Xiao Zihan paused, and he smiled with the corners of his mouth up.

Great, if Qian Susu's ultimate goal is her, then Tang Xuan will be safe.

"Why, are you scared?" Qian Susu saw that Xiao Zihan stopped, and asked vigilantly and mockingly.

"No." Xiao Zihan raised his hand, his steps were much easier than before.

It was very dark inside the bungalow, and Xiao Zihan couldn't see where Tang Xuan was for a while, so he tried his best to listen to the movement around him.

At this time, a bundle of rope was thrown at Xiao Zihan's feet.

A beam of flashlight came on, barely illuminating a small area.

"Tie your feet up yourself."

Xiao Zihan looked in the direction of speaking. He saw Tang Xuan, tied to a pillar, her mouth was gagged, her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered with blood.

Tang Xuan was looking at him, shaking her head desperately, as if silently saying that he shouldn't have come.

"Hurry up! Tie it up yourself!" Qian Susu pressed the knife on Tang Xuan's neck impatiently.

Xiao Zihan gave Tang Xuan a worry-free smile, bent down, and tied his feet.

Qian Susu tugged at the other end of the rope to make sure that Xiao Zihan was indeed tied up, and threw a knife at Xiao Zihan.

"Put it on your own leg." Qian Susu said coldly.

Tang Xuan struggled frantically, whimpering.

"Don't move!" Qian Susu held Tang Xuan down, and the hand holding the knife moved closer to Tang Xuan. The sharp blade cut Tang Xuan's neck immediately.

"Tang Xuan! Don't move!" Xiao Zihan was terrified. He immediately picked up the knife and thrust it into his thigh without thinking.

He gritted his teeth, but still grunted in pain and fell to the ground.

In the headset, Cai Jinyu, who heard everything happening here, almost went crazy, "Xiao Zihan! Xiao Zihan, don't act rashly! Xiao Zihan, did you hear that!"

Because he didn't want Tang Xuan to worry, Xiao Zihan bit his lips tightly, not wanting to make any moans, and his lips immediately leaked blood.

"Handcuff yourself." Qian Susu threw another handcuff on the ground.

Xiao Zihan was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe, his brain was buzzing, and he couldn't hear Qian Susu's words clearly for a while.

"Hurry up!" Qian Susu tore off the rag from Tang Xuan's mouth, and swung the knife in her hand, cutting Tang Xuan's shoulder.

"Ah!" Tang Xuan gasped for breath when she was caught off guard and immediately cried out in pain.

Xiao Zihan's attention was drawn back by Tang Xuan's cry, "Don't touch her! Don't touch her!" He didn't care about the injury on his leg, so he quickly grabbed the handcuffs on the ground and handcuffed them indiscriminately.

With a click, the handcuffs cuffed Xiao Zihan's hands.

But Qian Susu didn't stop there, she continued to order Xiao Zihan, "Come here, lean on this pillar."

Blood flowed down Xiao Zihan's legs. Xiao Zihan gritted his teeth and crawled over to lean on the pillar.

A circle of hemp rope fell down, and it became tighter and tighter, tying Xiao Zihan to the pillar.

This was what Qian Susu had prepared long ago, for this moment.

The rope was tightened, Qian Susu tied the knot, and then stood up holding the knife.

Seeing that the blade had finally left Tang Xuan's neck, Xiao Zihan heaved a long sigh of relief.From the moment he walked into the bungalow, he actually had several chances to hit Qian Susu.

However, he dared not take the risk.

Such a sharp blade could cut Tang Xuan's windpipe with just one swipe. He would rather die than risk Tang Xuan's life.

He dare not.

Therefore, no matter how capable he is, Qian Susu still has the upper hand.

"Where are your car keys?" Qian Susu asked Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan took a breath and replied, "It's in the car."

"Zihan..." The pillar tied to Tang Xuan was not far from the pillar tied to Xiao Zihan. Tang Xuan couldn't stop crying as she looked at the miserable Xiao Zihan.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Xiao Zihan pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, signaling Tang Xuan to feel relieved.

Qian Susu snorted disdainfully, leaned on the window of the bungalow and looked out, as if to see if there was anyone nearby.

Xiao Zihan noticed Qian Susu's actions, guessed Qian Susu's intention to leave, and immediately said: "I brought the money you asked for, it's outside, the car is also outside, I came alone, without the police following me Come here, you can take the money and drive away."

"Really?" Qian Susu snorted coldly, clearly not believing Xiao Zihan's words, "Then let me ask you, how did you find this place?"

"Lin Qiaoer told me that I found her." Xiao Zihan replied directly.

Tang Xuan's eyes widened in shock, her lips moved, "Then...how about the baby...is the baby okay?"

"Don't worry, the baby is fine." Seeing Tang Xuan so nervous about the child, Xiao Zihan's eyes flashed with complicated emotions.

"That's good, that's good." Tang Xuan cried happily.

Qian Susu snorted. She didn't have much hope for Lin Qiaoer at first, but in order to verify Xiao Zihan's words, she still called Lin Qiaoer out of caution.

Lin Qiaoer sat between the two policemen, a row of police cars with their engines turned off, lurking quietly.

The phone rang suddenly, and Lin Qiaoer took out the phone under the gaze of the police, staring at the caller ID on the phone screen.

"Press speakerphone." The policeman ordered in a cold voice.

Her father was still being detained in the police car ahead, Lin Qiaoer didn't dare to make a mistake, so she could only get through the phone.

"Hello..." Lin Qiaoer said nervously.

"Where are you now?" Qian Susu asked while staring at Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan, "Did you see Xiao Zihan?"

The policeman quickly typed on his mobile phone and handed it to Lin Qiaoer.

Lin Qiaoer looked at the police's reminder, and replied: "I was planning to go home, and I saw Xiao Zihan, and he took the child away."

"You just obediently gave him the child?" Qian Susu was puzzled, "Also, did he just let you go?"

Lin Qiaoer continued to answer according to the prompt: "I can't help it...he arrested my father, and I exchanged my father with my child."

"What about the police? When you called me earlier, didn't you say that Xiao Zihan called the police? What about the police?"

Lin Qiaoer held her breath, looked at the policeman who was staring at her, almost out of breath.

She heard the police tell about Qian Susu's background just now, and she also knew that she was a chess piece used by Qian Susu, so she didn't have any psychological burden to deceive this woman who was a companion just a moment ago.

"I don't know, it must have been taken away by Xiao Zihan. When he contacted me to change my dad, he was alone." Lin Qiaoer not only followed the police's prompt, but also added some of her own tone to make her words sound More believable, "I was quite surprised at the time, did you do something to make him suddenly change his attitude?"

Qian Susu was a little relieved when she heard Lin Qiaoer's words were flawless.

Tang Xuan was tortured by her for several hours, Xiao Zihan was also injured and tied to a pillar at this moment, so at this moment, Qian Susu's heart was proud, complacent, and swollen.

"That's right, I cut Tang Xuan a few times and let him know." Qian Susu looked at Xiao Zihan who was still bleeding, and sneered, "I thought I was capable, but I'm just a good-for-nothing who was fascinated by women. .”

Lin Qiaoer became nervous, and ignored the police's reminder, and asked Qian Susu directly, "What about Xiao Zihan, is he with you now?"

"Yes, I'm tied up." Qian Susu was concerned about Lin Qiaoer's affection for Xiao Zihan, so she didn't want to say more, "Okay, hang up."

Qian Susu hung up the phone and glanced outside again.

In the suburbs at night, there is silence, only the whistling wind.

"Okay, I won't play with you anymore." Qian Susu took out the lighter in his bag, pressed it down, and the flames sprang up.

Only then did Xiao Zihan come to his senses, and said hastily, "The money is outside, and the car is also there. I can give you whatever else you want!"

Qian Susu smiled, the fire light shone on her face, her smile was like a ghost.

"I want your two lives!"
