Chapter 2262 — Kidnapping Wang Xinyan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Relax, Brother Wen. On any ordinary day I wouldn't dare touch Wei Zhao's girlfriend either—the man's too dangerous, and who'd want to provoke him for no reason?" Li Biaohan waved a hand. "But I've already done my homework. Wei Zhao has left town on a long leave, and there's no telling when he'll be back. He hasn't shown up at school for days now. These past few days I had my boys ask around, and everyone close to Wei Zhao confirmed he's gone. And Gu Mengyao, the one you told me to watch—I've watched her too. These days she goes to school every day with Shen Yushu, Han Jingyi, and Han Xiaochao, and the one driving them isn't Wei Zhao, it's just a chauffeur!"
"Oh? Wei Zhao's out of town?" An Liwen's heart gave a sudden leap at the news.
If the opportunity presented itself, he wouldn't mind making a little trouble for Wei Zhao. Kidnapping Wang Xinyan would be a fine way to stick it to him—snatch his girlfriend while he was away and squeeze a fat ransom out of her. By the time Wei Zhao got back, he'd find no leads at all and would just have to swallow his anger and accept it.
"Exactly, Brother Wen, it's a golden opportunity!" Li Biaohan said. "I've checked everything. Wei Zhao is definitely not here!"
"Mm, then let's do it!" An Liwen nodded. "But we're clear on this: besides the kidnapping, don't do anything else to that Wang Xinyan! Wei Zhao is a complete madman. If Wang Xinyan really is his girlfriend, kidnapping her is one thing, but don't you dare do anything more. That bastard Wei Zhao will kill on mere suspicion—he doesn't need evidence. For all we know, in a fit of rage he'll go through every enemy he has and slaughter the lot of them, and then we're all screwed!"
"I understand, Brother Wen. We're only after money. Giving Wei Zhao a bit of grief on the side—I won't cause any trouble!" In truth, even if An Liwen hadn't said it, Li Biaohan wouldn't have dared act recklessly. He was, in fact, rather afraid of Wei Zhao.
"Here's the plan: work out Wang Xinyan's daily schedule with Big Mule, then draw up a proper scheme. Grab her somewhere crowded, and make sure plenty of people can testify that she was kidnapped. That way the ransom demand will go smoothly!" An Liwen wasn't worried about failure—with a No. 02 test subject on the job, who could possibly stop them?
"Will do!" Li Biaohan nodded.
An Liwen waved his hand, sending Li Biaohan and Big Mule out of the room together, then went back to scrolling through The Predecessor ofFaint Light of Old Dreams. The Li Bozhao in that novel was a true talent—the more An Liwen read, the more he worshipped him, and he vowed to become a villain just like Li Bozhao...
The day before the weekend.
Wang Xinyan received an invitation from Gu Mengyao to visit her home.
This left Wang Xinyan anxious and full of misgivings...
Gu Mengyao hadn't come to invite her in person; the invitation had been passed on through Han Jingyi. Even though it wasn't a formal invitation, Wang Xinyan couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Wei Zhao was out of town. What exactly did Gu Mengyao mean by inviting her over?
Was it a friendly invitation? A trap? Or did she want to find out just what the relationship between Wang Xinyan and Wei Zhao really was?
Han Jingyi was only the messenger, and after delivering the message she said nothing more, but Wang Xinyan's heart was in turmoil...
They had agreed to meet in the parking lot after class. That day Wang Xinyan was distracted again, couldn't focus on the lecture, and took hardly any notes. Watching the white-collared instructor leave, Wang Xinyan packed up her textbooks and shook her head. She had promised Wei Zhao she'd take notes for him, but today...
Wang Xinyan glanced back at Han Jingyi and found her still fiddling with her tablet.
