Chapter 281 - Are You Alright?
“Ning Qing, Ning Qing…”
Ning Qing heard someone calling her in the darkness and slowly opened her eyes.
Where was this?
Ning Qing looked around. It looked like a shabby little house.
She wanted to move but found herself unable because she was tied to a chair.
Ning Qing’s entire body was cold. She only had one thought. She had been kidnapped!
“Ning Qing.” Someone was calling her. Ning Qing looked sideways and realized that it was Song Yajing.
With the situation now, she was still comforting her and asking her not to be afraid.
Song Yajing was speechless. Now, thinking about all the harsh things she had done to her before, she felt ashamed.
Ning Qing looked up into the distance. The boss was on the phone, and he seemed agitated. It seems that the employer had concealed their identities.
As far as the status of the Lu family was concerned, they were by no means someone these bandits and gangsters dared to provoke.
Only then did the boss realize the severity of the situation.
Ning Qing started thinking. Who would have wanted to kidnap her, and what was their motivation?
Why kidnap Song Yajing too?
She was deep in thought when the boss ended the phone call and rushed over. Ning Qing saw the boss’s face and knew that things were bad. The boss knew that he had no way to go and could only fight to the end.
“Someone come here, and take them over to the cliff,” the boss ordered.
“Boss…”
“Stop dawdling. Young Master Lu is already on his way here. We have no choice. Do you think Young Master Lu will let us go? Stop dreaming. Now let’s make a bet. If we win the bet, we can go abroad with the money. We’ll be happy for the rest of our lives.”
“Yes, sir,” the men answered.
They loosened the rope and lifted Ning Qing and Song Yajing from their chairs. Ning Qing shouted, “You still have a choice. As long as you let us go now, I will tell my husband and he will let you live.”
The boss pushed Ning Qing out of the cabin and ranted, “You can only cheat children with such lies. Even if Young Master Lu lets us live, we will be sent to prison. We don’t want to go to prison.”
Ning Qing was pushed to the edge of the cliff. She slipped and kicked a small stone over. The stone fell off the cliff without an echo.
If someone fell over, it would be certain death.
Ning Qing suddenly thought about how Mu Yunfan had tied her to the cliff last year. Lu Shaoming had come to rescue her and lost his memory as a result.
Her current situation was eerily similar.
Could she survive?
Ning Qing’s hands and feet were tied. Ning Qing hissed in pain and pretended to bend down as if she had a stomach ache.
After a pause, the subordinate looked at her belly and asked, “Hey, are you okay?”
Ning Qing shook her head. “I’m all right.”
The man continued to tie the rope.
Having tied her rope, they went to tie Song Yajing’s.
The blood drained from Song Yajing’s face after she saw such a steep cliff. Ning Qing saw her legs weaken and laughed quickly as she said, “Mom, I didn’t expect that we might die together. You used to hate me so much. If I am your companion in the afterlife, you can’t abandon or despise me.”
Song Yajing glanced sideways at Ning Qing. “What are you talking about? You silly girl, we will be alright. Believe in Shaoming.”
Ning Qing immediately smiled with curved eyes. “Mom, when I used to talk like this at home, my mother would scold me as you did. Mom, I really like you. Thank you for giving me such a good Lu Shaoming.”
Song Yajing’s eyes were wet all of a sudden. She averted her gaze. “You only know how to flatter others.”
“Mom, that’s wrong.”
Song Yajing nodded. “Alright, you’re sweet mouthed.”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled.
…
They had just been tied up when a sudden braking sound squealed in the distance. Ning Qing looked back, and she saw the Bentley was stopped in the distance.
Lu Shaoming was here.
The man was wearing a white shirt and black pants. The wind was strong here. It blew the man’s thin clothing into a cold and sharp arc. His black eyes were like spilled ink; a glare from him was even more dangerous than the edge of a cliff.
The boss took out a gun and pointed it at Lu Shaoming’s head, then he stood beside Ning Qing. “Young Master Lu, you are here, we’ve waited for a long time,” he said with a smile.
Lu Shaoming was carrying a suitcase in one hand. He threw the suitcase on the ground. “Here’s what you want. Release my wife and my mother.”
“Shaoming,” Ning Qing and Song Yajing shouted.
Lu Shaoming looked up at Song Yajing and his gaze finally landed on Ning Qing. His deep, black eyes swept across her belly and his voice was soft as he asked, “Are you alright?”
