Chapter 185 Zhao Wan'er was kidnapped
The Nangong family's commercial status in the imperial city is booming. The prosperous shops and endless stream of customers all demonstrate the glory of the Nangong family. However, this naturally attracted some jealous eyes. One of the business rivals lost to the Nangong family in many competitions, and the resentment in his heart burned like a raging fire, which could not be extinguished. They were unwilling to fail, and the fire of jealousy burned more and more in their hearts, and finally decided to take extreme measures to retaliate against the Nangong family.
On a gloomy night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. The dark clouds were like the wings of a devil, covering the already weak moonlight. The entire imperial city seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious darkness, which made people feel a little uneasy. Zhao Wan'er was handling some affairs in the mansion as usual. She sat at the desk, the candlelight flickered, reflecting her beautiful and focused face. She frowned from time to time, smiled from time to time, and concentrated on handling the account book in her hand.
Little did they know that danger was approaching quietly. A group of shadows sneaked into the Nangong family like ghosts. They acted quickly and were well-trained, like cheetahs in the dark, agile and deadly. Taking advantage of the guards' momentary negligence, they quickly found Zhao Wan'er's residence. It was an elegantly decorated room with a faint floral scent. Zhao Wan'er was defenseless and still immersed in her work. Suddenly, a hand covered her mouth. She widened her eyes in horror. Before she could even scream, she was kidnapped by the shadows.
When Nangong Yi learned that Zhao Wan'er had been kidnapped, his heart seemed to be hit hard by a heavy hammer. Anger, worry, anxiety and other emotions instantly surged into his heart. His face turned pale and his body trembled slightly. "Wan'er!" He shouted, his voice full of despair and anger. He immediately summoned his family's confidants, and the hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor, as if reflecting his inner anxiety.
Nangong Yi led a group of people to the location designated by the kidnappers, which was an abandoned warehouse. The warehouse was filled with an old and decayed atmosphere, and the dim lights flickered, as if they would go out at any time. The weak lights struggled in the darkness, creating a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. The walls of the warehouse were covered with spider webs, and some shabby boxes and sundries were piled up in the corners, as if telling the story of what happened here.
Nangong Yi's eyes were wide open, and the flames of anger were burning in his eyes. He angrily questioned his opponent: "What do you want? You shameless people, how dare you kidnap my Wan'er!"
The other party slowly walked out of the darkness with a cold smile on his face. His eyes were full of pride and evil, as if everything was under his control. He sneered and replied: "What we want is very simple, that is, all the property of the Nangong family. Your Nangong family has been oppressing us and making us breathless. Now, it's time for you to pay the price."
Nangong Yi clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. His body was trembling slightly, a sign of extreme anger. "You've gone too far! You actually did such a cruel thing for revenge. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
The kidnapper didn't take it seriously. He shrugged and said, "You guys forced me to do this. If you don't want to see your wife get hurt, just hand over your property."
Nangong Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he couldn't act impulsively now and had to find a way to rescue Zhao Wan'er. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, which was his love and responsibility for Zhao Wan'er. "How can I believe that you will let Wan'er go after getting the property? You guys have no credibility."
The kidnapper laughed. "You have no choice. Either hand over your property or wait for your wife's body to be collected."
Nangong Yi's eyes flashed with determination: "Okay, I can give you the property, but you must ensure Wan'er's safety. If you dare to hurt a hair on her head, even if I give up everything, I will make you pay a heavy price."
The kidnapper smiled smugly: "Don't worry, we only want the property. As long as you cooperate, your wife will be fine."
Nangong Yi turned around and said to his confidants: "Go prepare the property and send it here as soon as possible." Although the confidants were worried, they could only obey orders. They left in a hurry, and the hurried footsteps echoed in the air, as if telling of their uneasiness.
While waiting for the property to be delivered, Nangong Yi was extremely anxious. He paced back and forth in the warehouse, his eyes full of anxiety and worry. He didn't know how Zhao Wan'er was doing now, and whether she was hurt. His heart was full of self-blame. If he could protect Wan'er better, this would not have happened.
He secretly swore in his heart that once Zhao Wan'er was rescued, he would make these kidnappers pay a heavy price. He would let them know that the Nangong family was not easy to mess with, and whoever dared to hurt his family would pay a painful price.
