Chapter 315 Kidnapped!
Chapter 315 Kidnapped!
Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu were a few minutes away from the destination. The police motorbike trailed behind. While the atmosphere and stake were high, nobody in the destination knew anything.
A teenage girl, wearing a yellow short skirt and blue blouse, hopped happily. She knew nothing about the danger creeping over her.
Ignorance meant bliss. Nothing could be more truthful. The more one knew, the more one thought and troubles kept coming, as if a valve blocking the negative energy was unleashed.
Occasionally, the girl jumped and slammed her feet against each other in a playful manner. The two elders, a man and a woman, smiled, watching over the girl's childish behavior and lamented. It was good to be young.
The elders were the girl's uncle and aunt. Like the elder sister or cousin, she admired, her parents were gone. The two girls were adopted by their kindhearted close relatives. The elder man and woman treated the two girls as their daughters since they couldn't have a child.
Besides, blood was thicker and they were relatives to begin with. Instead of going through the complicated adoption process in an orphanage, taking in nieces was much better.
The girl's parents died in an unfortunate car crash 5 years ago. Her elder sister lost her loved one in a building collapse during the earthquake 3 years ago. She was first adopted into her elder sister's family and moved together.
No matter how sad the two were, time became the best medicine, healing the remaining trauma. The two had to live on, not to indulge in regret or stay in pessimism. People must survive, study, find careers and work for a living. They had already treated the uncle and aunt as their own parents.
Now that many years had passed, the elder sister obtained a bachelor's degree from a prestigious university and entered a career path. She joined Spirit Beauty & Clothing Co.Ltd, as an intern and gradually stepped up the ladder.
The elder sister served as a Financial Director in her department with her own trusted aides. As a capable woman, she was noticed by Ling Qingyu and her skills improved under purposeful guidance.
The healthy work environment along with abundant salary raised the family's status. The uncle and aunt no longer needed to bear further energy and money on them. The two sisters could now look after them. Well, only elder sister, but she believed after graduation she would work on the same path.
Even if there was no worry for living residence and expenses, she wanted to prove herself and to her beloved. The family's expression grew milder and softer under the fulfillment of life.
As a university student, the girl shouldn't be here, accompanying her uncle and aunt. But who made her timetable so free. There was no course left except to wait for the examinations before the term was over.
There weren't any holidays but she exploited the free time as one and went back home. The university wasn't strict in controlling the student's travel. Having notified her year coordinator and dormitory manager was sufficient.
Rules are dead, people will take control. Building a better relationship can facilitate several movements unthinkable before. Likewise, she easily got out of the university to spend time with her family.
In fact, she was supposed to learn, search and read other materials and references during the free time given. But she had a capable sister, already excelling in her career in the financial circle.
Rather than flexing through boring books, she could seek her sister's guidance. Not to mention, her sister could point out reliable references for her to study in depth.
If this wasn't enough, she could try to beg her sister's boss. Of course, even though she hoped to meet with the idol, the peak most women in country N wanted to climb, how could the infamous Ling Qingyu have time to meet with a little girl?
The little girl went out together with her uncle and aunt to relax and play around. They just visited a shopping mall nearby and were on the way home. With little bags in their hands, they chattered various topics.
However, unbeknown to their delightful mood, the malicious aura crept around. Many eyes laid on them. Someone had been following the three of them.
The girl and the elders were oblivious to the dangers. Even though the people tracking the family members were amateur, nobody was aware. The public who had been in peaceful time for so long would never have a proper situational awareness. It couldn't be blamed on the trio.
Several men trailed behind, leaving a proper distance. They would immerse their presence in the crowd, following the public's rhythm. Near small shops, while their eyes remained on the target, their hands seemed to be judging the product to buy.
One of the men put the phone on his ears, muttering something and hung up. A block away, a Volkswagen van ignited its engine and turned its front wheel, then moved out of its parking space.

"It seems we don't have time. They're about to kidnap the girl into a van within a minute." Athena informed the group. She had already monitored all the bastards involved with the gang. As soon as they made the slightest move, she knew like an omniscient god.
"We're about 3 mikes out. There's no way we can't reach them instantly." Su Ruomei replied. "The plan has changed. Intercept the vehicle en route."
"Acknowledged, I'll keep posting," said Athena.
"Roge. 1-2 will chase from behind. Recommend 1-1 block the path ahead. Upon meeting, we'll lock them from the front and the back." Jiang Yu suggested.
The two vehicles separated. Jiang Yu's team remained on the original path. Su Ruomei's group accelerated to arrive at the path ahead sooner to initiate a blocking maneuver. Everyone understood, that their expectations to apprehend the gang in the act were no longer possible. The worst situation had occurred. But no one had mood swings as they had already laid out plans.
————————
The teenage girl was in a daze. A strange man stood in front of her. The uncle and aunt were stunned and prepared to step forward quickly.
The man grabbed the girl's waist and lifted her on his shoulder. Regaining her mind, the girl patted the man's back. "What are you doing? Put me down!"
The two elders also tried to stop but the distance was a bit far out of reach. A van halted on the side; the slider door opened. The man got in with the girl despite her struggles.
The girl's uncle and aunt realized their 'daughter' was kidnapped right before their very eyes. "Stop! Let go of my girl!"
"Someone, please help us!"
Another man came down from the car and kicked away the girl's uncle and aunt to prevent entanglement, cursing menacingly. Perhaps, violence ran through his veins and he needed a vent.
"If you want to blame. Blame Ling Qingyu, for offending our boss." The man left behind chilling words and scooted in. The slider door shut and the van left.
The outcries and girl's shrieks received attention from the neighborhood. Yet, nobody stepped forward. People were selfish and no one deserved to be blamed. They didn't want to be targeted by the cunning gang members for the rest of their lives.
No matter how the two people begged for help, no one came up. Luckily, a conscientious person dialed 110 to notify the police about the crime but she also had low hopes to see the girl safe. How damn this world! It wasn't for long the gangs resurged. Where could ordinary people like her survive?
Except for people pointing fingers, no one dared to interfere. The people only saw the back-view of the vans; some couldn't memorize the license plate. Hmm, wait, there wasn't one in the first place.
