Chapter 166 - Xinxin Is A Grown Up
“Hah! That’s because I knew he would only save you. If I’m going to die either way, why don’t I die in a greater way!” Tang Xin ridiculed.
“Is…that so?” Xia Zhixing grabbed her hand in disbelief, “Xinxin, you are saying this because you are angry. Calm down, can we please talk about it?”
“There’s nothing to talk about!” Tang Xin waved her arm fiercely and Xia Zhixing was pushed, stumbling into the fountain next to them.
Water splashed everywhere.
Tang Xin’s eyes slowly became clear again. She saw her arm frozen in the air in confusion and she was dumbfounded when she saw Xia Zhixing in the fountain.
Did the other ‘her’ come out again?
“Little Star!”
Li Yunshen chased out and the scene in front of him was beyond his expectation. He sprinted forward and pushed Tang Xin away, jumping into the fountain to help Xia Zhixing up without taking her shoes off.
When he carried the shivering Xia Zhixing in his arms and walked past the pale-faced Tang Xin, he almost looked like he was going to kill her.
“Didn’t you say that you are in a hurry? Leave now! Immediately! Get the **** out of my face!” He roared at her and left with Xia ZHixing in a hurry.
Tang Xin froze in the spot without moving as his ruthless words echoed in her ears.
She lowered her head and looked at the hand that pushed Xia Zhixing, her face was filled with regret.
She didn’t want to hurt anyone — she never wanted to — including Xia Zhixing.
She didn’t snap back until the phone in her bag buzzed again. She remembered that she had something urgent to do and quickly walked out of the villa.
…
“Second brother, did you say that you have news of Dad? What news?”
Tang Xin quickly went back home.
It was the important matter she was talking about; Tang Lingfeng had told her to come back on the phone and he had sounded serious.
“Xinxin, come sit down first.” Tang Lingfeng pulled her over and sat down, then pressed the remote control for the television on the wall.
A video appeared. Tang Xin could recognize the person who was kidnapped shown in the video even if he was burnt to ashes. It was her Dad.
“How did this happen?” Tang Xin covered her mouth in disbelief. Her dad had disappeared and been gone for a few months — turns out he had been abducted.
“The kidnappers contacted us using an international call, telling us to transfer a hundred million to the appointed account and they will let him go.” Tang Lingfeng replied calmly.
“Then do it! Second brother, isn’t a hundred million a small number for Tang Enterprise?” There was nothing in her mind other than her father’s safety.
“Xinxin, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but Uncle said that perhaps it might be a trap and told us to wait a while.” Tang Lingfeng didn’t dare look at her worried and anxious eyes.
“Wait? It’s been three months and now I finally find out that he’s been kidnapped. Now you are telling me to wait even longer? How could I wait in this situation? Would you be happy if they really killed my Dad?” Tang Xin cried and completely broke down in front of Tang Lingfeng.
“Second Brother, could you please help me? Transfer the money to the account like they ordered, if Uncle doesn’t allow you to do that, just say I borrowed this amount from the Tang Family, I will pay back with interest in the future, please?” Her father was the only family she had. Even though he never really took care of her, how could she watch him be stuck in a dangerous situation?
“Xinxin, don’t say that. Uncle must’ve said that for a reason. Let’s wait for a while, okay?” Tang Lingfeng hugged her and comforted her gently.
Suddenly, an email notification sounded from the laptop on the table, startling both of them.
