Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Kidnapped
Although she had the space in her possession, Xia Chuyi had no intention of continuing to sell vegetables to earn money.
Because, if people saw her making money, naturally, someone would come snooping around to investigate how she was making it and where the source of her goods was coming from.
By then, if someone discovered even a hint of the space, she would have nothing left to do but wait to be dissected.
Never underestimate people’s obsession with money, at any time.
However, after reading the Heavenly Book last night, she discovered another secret of the space.
Her eyes lit up immediately, this secret was the key she could utilize in the future.
While scheming in her mind, Xia Chuyi unconsciously entered the town.
The Ling County of this era did not have the scale of later times; it was simply a few main streets crisscrossing each other, not at all complicated.
She was planning to head to the vegetable market, following faint memories when, just a few steps out, “baba ba” a military green sedan stopped behind her.
“Hey, comrade lady, hello, could you please come over and give me a hand with directions?” the driver of the military car poked his head out of the driver’s seat and politely waved at Xia Chuyi.
Perhaps because Mr. Xia was a soldier, even after encountering He Qing, that scumbag, it did not affect the image of soldiers in her heart.
So she was happy to help if she could.
“Where do you want to go?” Xia Chuyi walked over to the military vehicle, just about to ask the driver, when suddenly the rear door of the car opened and a large hand pulled her in.
What was happening—abduction?
“Help…” Before she could shout for help, her mouth was covered, and her whole person was pulled against a man’s chest.
Xia Chuyi wriggled and struggled, punching and kicking.
“It’s me.” A low, magnetic, familiar male voice sounded in her ear.
Xia Chuyi widened her eyes and stopped struggling.
“Report to the officer, mission complete, request to exit vehicle for surveillance!” From the driver’s seat in front, with a click, the soldier driver got out of the car.
Suddenly, only the two of them were left inside the car.
“Request approved,” the man’s tone was very formal, without a trace of warmth.
Blinking, Xia Chuyi was even more certain of her guess.
She tried to struggle again, but the person behind her did not let go.
“I can let go of you, but be good, don’t make a fuss,” the man’s voice carried a light threat, and with the breath he exhaled, it echoed in her ear.
Inside the car, no matter how much she fussed, she couldn’t escape his grasp.
Xia Chuyi nodded slightly, indicating her cooperation.
Seeing that she really subsided, the man behind her released the hand that was covering her mouth.
Once freed, she immediately turned around to face him.
A handsome face, a serious expression, an aura of inviolability—wasn’t that Huo Shiqian?
“Why are you here?” In a short span of time, Xia Chuyi’s initial fright and anger were all overwhelmed by her surprise at seeing Huo Shiqian.
Without saying goodbye, she thought they would never meet again.
“Why am I here?” Huo Shiqian glanced at her and said indifferently, “My fiancée ran away, you tell me, why am I here?”
As if a chilling wind had passed, goosebumps rose over Xia Chuyi’s body.
This man appeared calm, but in truth, every fiber of his being exuded a vibe of marching to demand accountability.
