How did I marry into a wealthy family during my second marriage?

The footsteps soon disappeared, and she waited for a while, but no one appeared in front of her.

She held her breath and concentrated, feeling for the place where the footsteps belonged, but she didn't sense any breath from him.

A strong sense of suffocation and danger surrounded her tightly.

She waited for a few more minutes. There was no sound around her. She was about to continue cutting the rope when the footsteps were heard again.

This happened several times, and Xu Weitang was tortured by the sounds and became extremely nervous and his body tense.

She closed her eyes and tried to adjust herself.

After about half a minute, she ignored the occasional footsteps and worked hard to cut the rope.

Suddenly, the surroundings became brighter. She stopped and looked around vigilantly.

She was in a dilapidated factory with weeds growing everywhere. Above the factory, there were spider webs and dust hanging in the air. The light tubes swaying in the wind emitted a bright white light, exuding a sense of eeriness that made people feel uneasy.

If she was timid, she would have been scared to death by now. That was probably what the other party wanted to see.

This trick of playing tricks might have had some effect on her at first, but now she has calmed down.

The other party did all this just to see her reaction. The more anxious and scared she was, the happier the other party would be.

She just wouldn't follow the other person's path.

Xu Weitang stopped struggling and closed his eyes to rest.

She is an excellent hunter and has enough patience to fight with the opponent.

After more than half an hour, Xu Weitang remained motionless and his body ached.

She moved her body and tried to change her posture, but her hands and feet were tied, making it difficult for her to move.

She finally sat up and leaned against the rusty equipment beside her, greeting Xu Weiyan again in her heart.

Xu Weitang is the project leader and has a lot of work to deal with every day. If others cannot contact her, someone will soon notice that she is missing.

The person who planned to kidnap her would not leave her here forever in order to clear himself of the matter.

Just as she guessed, more than ten minutes later, a man appeared at the entrance of the factory.

"Try to remove the rope, and you can contact someone to come and rescue you."

After the other party finished speaking, he threw a mobile phone on the ground.

"You're kidding me."

She bet the phone couldn't be used normally!

Even if it can be used, a password will be set so that she can find a way to crack it.

The other party was stimulating her instinct for survival, and then extinguishing her hope when she saw hope of survival.

Xu Weitang saw through the opponent's intention and continued to play badly.

"You can use your phone. I'll only give you ten seconds." The man picked up the phone on the ground and cut the rope on her wrist.

With his hands free, Xu Weitang did not have time to check the wound on his wrist. He took the phone handed to him by the man with half belief and half doubt.

The man looked at his watch and began the countdown.

A mobile phone number appeared in Xu Weitang's mind, and she tapped the phone quickly a few times.

The call was quickly connected. "Hello, this is Shi Yan."

"It's me, Xu Weitang, help..." When Xu Weitang was completing his self-strategy, he had already imprinted Shi Yan's contact information in his mind. At the critical moment, his number was the first thing that came to his mind.

When the familiar voice sounded, she remembered that the owner of this number was Shi Yan.

She didn't care about anything else and gave her name. Before she could say anything to ask for help, her mouth was covered by the man squatting in front of her and the call was cut off.

"Wuwu~" Xu Weitang's mouth was covered tightly. She could only make unwilling whimpering sounds and struggled to pull his hand away.

The man was quite strong and he grabbed her neck with his hands.

The other party was ruthless. Xu Weitang had difficulty breathing and the strength in her hands gradually disappeared.

The man picked up the blood-stained rope on the ground and tied her arms again.

Xu Weitang was so weak that she had no way to resist. Now she just hoped that Shi Yan would notice something was wrong and come to save her.

To her disappointment, after the call was hung up, Shi Yan called back twice, but no one answered. He then called the number she usually used, but still no one answered.

The case he is handling will go to trial in two days, and he is currently organizing the relevant evidence.

He thought Xu Weitang was drunk and called the wrong number, so she hung up as soon as she heard his voice. She was cold to him, and he had put aside his pride and asked for a relationship. After she decisively rejected him, there was no need to provoke him again.

Shi Yan continued to work.

"Your friend is silent."

The phone stopped vibrating, and the little flame of hope in Xu Weitang's heart struggled a little and disappeared.

She did not speak.

"I'm a man of my words. If you cut the rope, I'll let you make another call."

"who are you?"

"You think I'll tell you?"

"You're not going to let me go. Does it matter whether you tell me or not?"

"You are so smart, you should know who to mess with and who not to mess with, but you chose to seek your own death."

"Then let me die knowingly."

"You were brought here from the construction site by your good brother. You died in his hands, too. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

"He has the heart of a thief but not the guts. He doesn't even dare to kill a chicken. If you try to blame him for what you did to me, it will be full of loopholes."

"No. We won't allow any loopholes." The man patted Xu Weitang's face and said, "Countdown, you have ten minutes to untie the rope. For every minute that passes, I will cut off one of your fingers. Your fingers are so beautiful, it would be a pity to have them cut off and bleed profusely."

abnormal!

The man's feminine voice entered Xu Weitang's ears, making her feel creepy.

The man stared at his watch. Xu Weitang didn't dare to gamble, so she moved her wrist.

The rope was tied very tightly and there was no sign of loosening. The stone in her hand had long been thrown on the ground by her. She fumbled on the ground and finally found the stone.

She cut the rope hard.

The man looked at her tense face and the cold sweat on her forehead and was very satisfied.

"Three more minutes." The man told Xu Weitang the time.

Xu Weitang bit his lower lip hard and clenched the stone tightly.

"Don't be so anxious. You have ten fingers. You can exceed the time limit by ten minutes."

The man was extremely noisy.

Xu Weitang's eyes were covered with cold sweat and he felt very uncomfortable.

She closed her eyes, not knowing whether it was her action or her expression that annoyed him.

He became furious, grabbed Xu Weitang's hair and slapped her in the face.

Xu Weitang cried out in pain, and several screams were heard in the empty factory.

……

"What do you mean by not being able to find Xu Weitang?" Gu's parents had already fallen asleep. She received Gu Kai's call, sat up from the bed, and checked the time. "You are in good spirits, but you are still awake in the middle of the night. Doesn't she need to sleep? Come back quickly and don't disturb her rest."

"Her...her phone and car are at the construction site. We don't know where she is. We can't contact her now. I checked the surveillance and saw a strange car entering and leaving the construction site."

"Why don't I understand what you're saying?"

"Xu Weitang is missing!"

The security guard on duty in the security booth at the entrance was still sleeping, and no one could wake him up, so they could only send him to the hospital temporarily.

Gu Kai was worried about Xu Weitang's safety and called the police. The police replied that a case could only be filed after 48 hours of an adult's disappearance.

The purpose of Gu Kai's call was to ask the parents to find a way to get the police to file a case as soon as possible and find Xu Weitang.
