Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 95 She's Missing
The other side had a large number of people and was powerful, so Tang Xu did not put up any futile resistance.

Instead, she smiled and reminded Qin Jian and Miao Qin: "Uncle and Aunt, if you force things, you will only get the opposite effect."

Miao Qin flew into a rage, "Gag her and take her away!"

Tang Xu was quickly put into a car.

Several men cautiously placed Tang Xu in the middle of the car seat, keeping a close eye on her every move.

Tang Xu remained surprisingly calm and silent throughout.

It was as if this was not a kidnapping.

Qin Jian and Miao Qin seemed to have a disagreement about how to deal with her.

The driver received several phone calls while driving out of the city, seemingly from Qin Jian and Miao Qin respectively.

Each time a phone call is received, the driver changes direction.

After the third phone call, the car returned to its original direction.

Tang Xu could tell that Qin Jian had ultimately made the decision.

She was taken to a dilapidated and abandoned building outside the city and locked in a dark room.

"Mr. Qin said that if you change your mind, just let us know and we will release you."

Using the light from the man's flashlight, Tang Xu walked straight to the innermost corner of the room, sat down against the wall, and replied, "Then you should ask Mr. Qin to wait patiently. Perhaps I will come to my senses."

“Miss Tang, let me remind you, this house has been abandoned for a long time, and there’s no telling what kind of snakes, insects, rats and ants might be inside. You are delicate and cannot endure such hardship.”

"How will you know if you don't try?" Tang Xu was already sitting there calmly. "I'm an experiential person; I'm willing to try anything."

The man thought she was being unreasonable, turned off the lights, and slammed the door shut.

After the last ray of light disappeared, the room was plunged into complete darkness.

Apart from the two walls behind him, Tang Xu could not sense anything.

Such methods of torture certainly resemble Qin Jian's work.

An old-fashioned, chauvinistic man, he didn't know many ways to torture people. In addition, he was unwilling to do anything too outrageous because he considered himself an elder. So he just kept her locked up like this to force her to make a statement.

Everyone there probably thought that a pampered young lady like Tang Xu would absolutely not be able to tolerate such an environment.

She will soon break down and cry as she agrees to their terms.

However, in that dark room, Tang Xu lay there for two days without eating or drinking, but still did not give in.

This was beyond everyone's expectations.

The only thing Qin Jian was right about was that no one contacted her for two days.

After Song Yuting passed away, she lost her family.

She filed for divorce from Jiang Muchen, but she had no husband's family.

She didn't even have any close friends.

As for the company, a simple phone call to tell them that Tang Xu needed to take a few days off was all it took for anyone to suspect anything.

Such people disappear without a trace.

Nobody cares.

What's wrong with not giving an inch for two days?
As long as she lives, there will be plenty of time and opportunities to wait for her to relent.

……

Yan Shiyu went to Shenzhen on a business trip for two days.

It was already late at night when we got back to Huai City.

Without asking a single question, Gao Yan drove the car directly towards Yujing Bay.

The car came to a smooth stop in the underground parking lot. As Yan Shiyu got out, Gao Yan couldn't help but mutter, "It's so late, doesn't he care about disturbing her rest? He really has no chivalry at all—"

Yan Shiyu turned around and glanced at him.

Gao Yan stepped on the gas and sped away.

Yan Shiyu went upstairs, stepped out of the elevator, and immediately saw several express packages piled up at the entrance of Tang Xu.

Yan Shiyu stepped forward, his gaze lingering on the packages for a moment before he reached out and rang the doorbell.

No one answered the door.

Yan Shiyu stood still for a moment, then entered the password and unlocked the door. The room felt empty and devoid of human presence.

Yan Shiyu stood in the entryway for a moment, then turned around and brought in the packages outside.

The package at the very bottom is for next-day delivery.

The shipping label date is three days ago.

In other words, the package was delivered the day before yesterday.

Yan Shiyu quickly went into the bathroom again.

Everything in the bathroom was dry.

The toothbrush, cup, and towel were completely dry.

……

Gao Yan quickly returned to Yujing Bay.

As he entered, he was still trying to call Tang Xu, but he couldn't get through.

Looking at Yan Shiyu sitting on the sofa, Gao Yan's expression couldn't help but tense up slightly.

“I contacted Fengzheng, and the staff on duty said that Tang Xu has taken leave for the past two days and hasn’t come to the company,” Gao Yan said. “In addition, I have also sent people to look for her in places she might be. We should have news soon.”

"Find her cell phone signal," Yan Shiyu ordered in a deep voice, sitting on the sofa.

Gao Yan paused for a moment and then said, "I'll contact them right away."

After he finished making the call, Yan Shiyu spoke again: "Investigate the Jiang family and the Qin family as well, especially... the Qin family."

"You suspect that someone kidnapped Miss Tang?" Gao Yan said. "But what would be the purpose of doing so?"

"Foolish people do foolish things."

Gao Yan was startled when he heard this.

If he truly is a mindless idiot, then Tang Xu may face even greater danger—

He quickly turned around and went to the balcony, making phone calls one after another.

Yan Shiyu remained seated calmly, listening to each phone call, his eyes gradually darkening.

……

Late that night, Tang Xu, who had been confined in darkness for two days, was finally brought out of that pitch-black room.

This unprecedented experience almost deprived her of all her senses and cognition.

It wasn't until her head was pushed into the water and she was almost choked unconscious that Tang Xu finally gradually regained consciousness and realized where she was.

She opened her eyes, and through her blurry vision, she saw Miao Qin's extremely angry face.

"You still won't admit defeat, will you?" Miao Qin grabbed her neck. "What did my son do to offend you? You hate him so much that you want him to go to jail?"

It took Tang Xu a while to realize what she had said, but she just laughed.

"What's wrong, Aunt?" she asked weakly. "Did you have a nightmare, dreaming that my cousin died a terrible death?"

Miao Qin slapped her hard across the face.

This time, Tang Xu finally couldn't avoid it and was slapped so hard he was dizzy.

When she opened her eyes again, Miao Qin was holding her cell phone.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Call Jiang Muchen right now and ask him to drop the case. Otherwise, you'll have to go back to that dark, sunless room, and I'll bring some little guys to keep you company—"

As they were talking, a cage covered with a cloth was placed in front of Tang Xu.

The cloth strip was torn off, revealing a cage full of snakes of all sizes, layered upon each other, slickly intertwined.

Tang Xu turned her head and began to gag violently.

Miao Qin, however, was very happy watching it.

“I know you’re afraid of snakes. Do you remember when you were little, you saw a snake in the garden and fainted from fright?” Miao Qin said. “Just imagine how it would feel to be in a dark room with so many snakes… As long as you obediently make the call, we’ll pretend nothing happened. Once this case is settled, I’ll take you home properly, okay?”

Tang Xu lay on the ground, offering no response.

Miao Qin, however, only felt that she had seen hope.

She quickly turned on Tang Xu's phone, found Jiang Muchen's number, and dialed it.
