Sweet Marriage: A Scholar's Little Wife V5

The three looked at each other, realizing that something was wrong.

"Mai Ziqi?" Bai Qianheng called out tentatively.

There was no response from the phone.

Bai Qianheng's face turned ugly, his fingers gripped the sofa tightly, his fingertips turned white with such force.

"Heh!" At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from the phone, he sneered and said, "Mai Ziqi is here with me."

Upon hearing this voice, Li Shaoqing and Fei Yue's expressions immediately changed drastically, and they looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes - the owner of this voice was Zhu Muhan.

Bai Qianheng also recognized it, with a gloomy face and anxious tone: "Zhu Muhan? Why are you? Where's Mai Ziqi? What did you do to her?"

Zhu Mu coldly laughed and said, "It's nothing, let her tell you by herself."

After a pause for a few seconds, Mai Ziqi's indistinct voice came from the phone. She seemed to be covered and stuck to her mouth. She could only make a whining sound, but could not utter a complete sentence.

"Mai Ziqi? Mai Ziqi!" Bai Qianheng cried out anxiously, "Zhu Muhan, what are you trying to do? What are you trying to do to me?"

Zhu Mu sneered and said, "Where are Li Shaoqing and Fei Yue?"

The phone was turned on hands-free, and Fei Yue heard what Zhu Muhan said, and immediately replied: "I'm next to him, what are you doing?? Let Mai Ziqi go!"

"I finally caught her, why did I listen to you and let her go?" Zhu Muhan chuckled, disapproving, and after a pause, said, "It's not impossible for me to let her go, unless..."

"Unless what?" Fei Yue asked anxiously.

Zhu Muhan said: "Unless you hand over your research results."

Fei Yue was silent, and Bai Qianheng and Li Shaoqing were also silent. They all knew that Fei Yue's research was of great importance, and it was impossible to really give it to Zhu Muhan, but if he didn't give it to Zhu Muhan, it might really do something to him. Mai Ziqi was unfavorable, no matter what kind of consequences, they couldn't bear it.

Fei Yue took a deep breath and said to the phone: "Why are you so obsessed with my research results?"

Zhu Muhan said: "This is not something you need to care about, you just need to give me the research results."

After a pause, he continued: "I advise you not to make any crooked ideas, otherwise I cannot guarantee the safety of your best friend."

"Despicable!" Fei Yue gritted her teeth and spit out these two words, knowing that she had troubled Mai Ziqi, Zhu Muhan was unable to kidnap her, so she kidnapped Mai Ziqi to threaten her.

After what happened last time, they only thought of strengthening Fei Yue's protection, but ignored the people around them.

"How can I give you the research results." Fei Yue asked Zhu Muhan, trying to find a flaw in his words.

Zhu Muhan said: "You scan all the documents and send them to Mai Ziqi's mailbox. I will log in to her mailbox to check. I warn you not to cheat again. Once I find out, Mai Ziqi's life will be in danger."

"Don't touch her, I promise you..." Fei Yue said anxiously, wanting to stabilize Zhu Muhan before making any plans.

But at this time, Li Shaoqing suddenly said: "It is impossible to give you the research results, so give up."

After finishing speaking, he simply hung up the phone.

Fei Yue looked up at him, dumbfounded.

Li Shaoqing explained: "I know you want to delay Zhu Muhan first, but he also knows the importance of your research results. If you agree to him so easily, he will definitely have doubts."

Fei Yue suddenly realized, she patted her head and said, "That's right, why didn't I think of it?"

Li Shaoqing shook her head and said, "Anxiousness leads to confusion."

After finishing speaking, he said to Bai Qianheng: "Don't worry, there will definitely be a solution."

Bai Qianheng's face was uncertain, and he said in a dazed way: "It's all my fault. I should have finished my work earlier and sent her off. If I was here, she would definitely not be kidnapped."

Li Shaoqing patted him on the shoulder and said, "No one knew that such a thing would happen, so don't blame yourself too much."

Bai Qianheng shook his head, covering his face in pain.

Seeing him like this, Li Shaoqing and Fei Yue didn't know how to comfort him, they could only sigh.

Li Shaoqing thought for a while and said, "Mai Ziqi's phone must have been handled by Zhu Muhan, it's hard to locate, but just in case, I'll still send someone to check."

As he spoke, he paused, and said: "In a short time, Zhu Muhan won't do anything to Mai Ziqi. If our people can't locate them, wait until Zhu Muhan calls next time. I promise to give him research As a result, let’s buy some time and search the whole city for their traces.”

"Yes, we will definitely find Mai Ziqi this way." Fei Yue agreed, comforting Bai Qianheng.

Bai Qianheng nodded and said, "Thank you sir."

"It should be." Li Shaoqing shook his head, and went to make arrangements on the phone.

Bai Qianheng also contacted all the people he contacted, and tried his best to find Mai Ziqi.

The matter was quickly arranged, and various forces were dispatched to start a blanket search, but in order not to alarm Zhu Muhan and the others, they were chasing a terrorist murderer under the banner.

Even so, they tried their best not to alarm anyone, because Zhu Muhan was too cautious and sensitive, and once he noticed that something was wrong, he would probably attack Mai Ziqi and tear up the ticket.

All arrangements are proceeding in an orderly manner.During this period of time, Bai Qianheng temporarily lived in Li's house, which was convenient for them to discuss all the time.

With the example of Mai Ziqi, Li Shaoqing and Fei Yue also immediately assigned bodyguards to all the people close to them, telling them to be careful all the time.Everyone was caught in a tense atmosphere.

After three days like this, the search still didn't yield any results. Bai Qianheng saw that he was getting thinner and his face was withered and yellow.

Li Shaoqing and Fei Yue saw that there was nothing they could do, so they called Mai Ziqi again.

This time it was still Zhu Muhan who answered the phone. As soon as the call was connected, Zhu Muhan's mocking voice came from the phone, saying, "Why, finally figured it out? Have you decided to give me the research results?"

Fei Yue gritted her teeth and said, "How's Mai Ziqi? I need to make sure she's safe first."

"Okay, wait a minute." Zhu Muhan agreed.

After a few seconds, Mai Ziqi's voice came from the phone: "Yueyue, leave me alone and don't give him the research results!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slap, and Mai Ziqi was slapped by Zhu Muhan.

"Zhu Muhan, what are you doing? Don't touch her!" Fei Yue and Bai Qianheng roared at the same time.

Zhu Muhan said harshly: "I shouldn't have let her talk! Well, you have heard her voice, have you considered it? Do you want to give me the research results?"

Fei Yue took a deep breath and said, "I can give you the research results, but how can I guarantee that after you get the research results, you will really release Mai Ziqi?"

Zhu Mu coldly laughed, and asked back: "But you don't have a choice, do you?"

Fei Yue's expression froze, her face turned livid, Zhu Muhan was right, she couldn't leave Mai Ziqi alone, even if there was a risk, she had to gamble.

"Despicable, shameless, insidious!" Fei Yue scolded through gritted teeth.

"Yueyue, don't talk about me like that, I will be heartbroken." Having said that, Zhu Muhan laughed, his tone could not hear any sadness or heartache, and he said, "Send the research results to the mailbox, and I will release it immediately." Mai Ziqi, remember, I'm only waiting for your last day, if you don't receive it tomorrow, I will tear up the ticket."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"What should we do now? Do we really want to give him the research results?" Fei Yue held the phone and looked at Li Shaoqing.

Li Shaoqing was deep in thought, with a gloomy face, and after a while, said: "Wait for another half day."

After finishing speaking, he rubbed his chin and added: "In three days, we have searched all the places in this city suitable for kidnapping, but we didn't find Zhu Muhan and Mai Ziqi. Where can they go?"

"Could it be that there is somewhere that I haven't found?" Fei Yue asked him.

Li Shaoqing shook his head: "There is such a possibility, so wait for another half a day for news of the search."

Fei Yue nodded and didn't speak any more.

Bai Qianheng didn't speak either, and the three of them sat on the sofa silently, waiting for the time to pass.

The wall clock on the wall swayed and made a ticking sound. Time passed slowly. Finally, half a day came. They waited from noon to night, but there was still no good news from the search team.

Now, the three of them couldn't sit still anymore, and Bai Qianheng was even more anxious like ants on a hot pot, but his concern was chaotic, and he couldn't think of a good way at this moment.

Li Shaoqing and Fei Yue thought about it carefully, trying to recall Zhu Muhan's words, and found flaws in them, but they found that it didn't work.

After a while, Fei Yue suddenly thought of something and said, "Li Shaoqing, you said earlier that you searched all the places in this city that are suitable for kidnapping, right?"

Li Shaoqing nodded: "That's right."

Fei Yue suddenly realized, clapped her hands excitedly, and said: "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. You know that you need to check the places that are suitable for kidnapping. Zhu Muhan must also know, so will he know?" Going the other way and taking Mai Ziqi to another place, even out of this city?"

Li Shaoqing and Bai Qianheng were silent. After thinking for a while, Bai Qianheng said: "It is impossible to leave the city. Our people have checked all the records, but there is no news of them leaving the city. The airport, high-speed rail station, train station, and even the car The station is also guarded, and no suspicious person was found."

"Then there is only one last possibility left. Maybe he is really in a place that seems to be safe." Li Shaoqing said thoughtfully, picked up the phone, called Li Feng, and said, "Don't disturb Outside, search for traces of Zhu Muhan and Mai Ziqi in the urban area."

"Yes, sir!" Li Feng agreed on the other end of the phone.

Li Shaoqing hummed and hung up the phone. Immediately, a new question popped up in his mind—the urban area is no better than the suburbs, and all places seem to be safe. Looking for Zhu Muhan and Mai Ziqi is like looking for a needle in a haystack. did you find it?

Fei Yue and Bai Qianheng also thought of this question, and the three of them looked at each other with solemn and gloomy expressions.
