The Blind Lover Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Frightening

“Mmm… slow down…” In the bed, a man and a woman were entangled together in deep passion, but the phone next to them was ringing.

Shi Yong’s mood was ruined, so he answered the phone in frustration. “Hello!”

“You fool, why aren’t you back yet? If you don’t come back, I’ll change the lock on the door!” Over the phone, Qu Li’s sharp voice pierced through, stinging Shi Yong’s eardrums.

Hearing that it was Shi Yong’s wife calling, Xing Er obediently waited by the side and did not say a word.

“I still have something to do…” Shi Yong held Xing Er in his arms and his tone was very perfunctory.

“What’s more important than Xiaoxiao?” Qu Li’s tone was already carrying some killing intent.

Xiaoxiao? Shi Yong sat up fiercely and asked in a panic, “What’s wrong with Xiaoxiao?”

“Xiaoxiao’s back, but she’s a little…” Qu Li paused for a moment, as if she didn’t know how to describe it. “In any case, hurry up and get your ass back here!”

After hanging up the phone, Shi Yong hurriedly put on his pants. Before he could speak to Xing Er, he immediately picked up his phone and rushed out.

Xing Er slowly sat up from the bed and put on her coat. As she watched Shi Yong’s back leaving, her eyes darkened.

After driving home, Shi Yong pushed open the door and shouted, “Xiaoxiao? Where’s Xiaoxiao?”

Qu Li walked out of the living room and gave Shi Yong a hard punch. “Keep your voice down. Don’t give her a fright!”

Shi Yong hurriedly lowered his voice and said nervously, “What happened to Xiaoxiao? How did she come back?”

Qu Li frowned and said in a doubtful tone, “I heard someone knocking on the door in the afternoon and there I saw Xiaoxiao the moment I opened the door.”

At that time, Qu Li was both surprised and happy. After all, the police had been searching for her daughter for many days, but they still could not find her. Now, Shi Xiao had returned safely.

She went forward and hugged Shi Xiao, crying and shouting, “My baby daughter, thank goodness you’re alright. Otherwise, how would your mother live? Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you scared? Why have you lost weight? Where have you been these past few days? It’s been so hard for me to find you. I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you anymore. Hurry up and come in…”

After bringing Shi Xiao back, Qu Li realized that there was something wrong with her daughter.

Ever since she had returned home, Shi Xiao had been sitting on the couch without saying a word.

She did not speak nor did she move but acted just like a puppet.

Qu Li originally thought that Shi Xiao was frightened by the group of kidnappers, so she cried and asked Shi Xiao if she had suffered any pain.

Shi Xiao was a little annoyed by her crying, so she said coldly, “I’m fine. Stop crying.”

Qu Li was stunned by Shi Xiao’s cold words. When had her precious daughter ever spoken to her like this?

Therefore, Qu Li immediately called Shi Yong. She felt as if her daughter had changed into a different person. She was a little afraid.

After Shi Yong heard Qu Li’s words, he also found it hard to believe.

He walked to Shi Xiao who was sitting on the sofa in the living room and looked at his daughter who looked out of focus. For a moment, he felt a little uneasy. After a long while, he probed, “Xiaoxiao… are you hungry?”

Was his daughter scared silly?

Shi Xiao only regained her senses when she heard Shi Yong’s voice. She turned her head to look at Shi Yong. After frowning slightly, she said, “Dad, let me ask you something.”

Shi Yong was stunned and subconsciously replied, “What is it?”

Shi Xiao was silent for a moment before she said, “Do you know…”

When he heard the name that came out of Shi Xiao’s mouth, Shi Yong’s entire body seemed to have been struck by lightning. He was so scared that his entire body trembled. He violently dragged Shi Xiao up and half-carried her. After the father and daughter entered the room, Shi Yong locked the door behind him.

Qu Li was locked outside the door. She looked at the door in confusion and scolded, “Shi Yong, you bastard, how dare you lock me outside. Are you hiding something from me…”

Shi Yong sat on the bed in exhaustion. He felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained by someone.

“What else did those people say to you?” Shi Yong asked Shi Xiao in a bitter tone.

Shi Xiao shook her head and reached out to massage the space between her eyebrows. “No… Dad, how did you get involved with these people? Even I can’t break free from their control now. Who are they? !”

Shi Yong held his daughter’s hand, and his expression seemed to have aged a little in an instant. “Xiaoxiao, you can’t afford to offend those people. Do whatever they tell you to do. Don’t ask too much. I don’t know much about them.”

“I only know that those people…”

“…are frightening.”

Shi Yong shuddered in an instant. He raised his head to look at Shi Xiaoxiao and saw the same fear in her eyes.

On the balcony facing the south of the Ning family, Qin Yu was sitting on a long plush mat. She was holding a salad bowl in her arms and a small fork in her right hand as she stuffed the fruits into her mouth one mouthful at a time.

She was holding a tablet in her other hand. On it were densely written files.

After eating the fruit, Qin Yu stretched herself.

The ownership structure and business network of the Ning family company were too complicated. It was a headache to read!
