Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Kidnapping Call
“Why can’t I get through the call?” Ye Shikai’s pupils shrank, suddenly stricken with a terrifying premonition. Could it be that those people had made a move on Ji Qian? According to the normal journey, she should have arrived by now.
“I still talked to Lord Moon God on the phone this morning; she had already arrived in Yanjing. Boss, don’t be anxious—I’ll immediately have someone check.” Ghost immediately said.
“Quick, hurry up.” Ye Shikai annoyed, covered his forehead, trying to calm himself down.
Ghost quickly stepped out of the hotel, followed by a few Hidden Guards. Now that they were in Yanjing, who could it be?
“You seem very anxious.” At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door. Ji Qian and Wang Kai were standing at the entrance, smiling at him.
“You, why didn’t you answer your phone?” Ye Shikai heaved a sigh of relief, not knowing if it was due to his nerves being on edge or something else, but whenever there was a small accident, he felt particularly tense.
“I just happened to be on another call, so it was busy.” If it weren’t for the public setting, Ye Shikai truly wanted to give Ji Qian a hug.
“Alright, Old Ye, we’ve come all the way to attend your wedding. Hurry up and let us in,” Wang Kai said with a smile.
“Today, you are the main character; you should hurry and join Qingyu,” Ji Qian quietly approached Ye Shikai’s ear, whispering to him.
“Thank you for understanding.”
“What you should be more thankful for is that Qingyu understands.”
Time ticked by second by second. The guests gradually entered the venue. Now, Su Qingyu and Su Pengzhan were behind the scenes. According to the schedule, once the time came, the father and daughter would stand on the main stage, and then Ye Shikai would walk in, holding Su Qingyu’s hand. Just thinking about it made them uncontrollably nervous. This was the couple’s first public display of affection.
“Boss, Worm reports that the firewall crisis has been resolved; seems like the opposing hacker has given up,” Ghost reported as he entered.
“At least they know their place.”
“Who hasn’t arrived yet?” Ye Shikai asked indifferently.
“Uh, let me check the list.” Ghost took out the notebook he carried with him, searching on it. Suddenly, a trace of unusual color flashed in his eyes.
“What’s wrong, is someone missing?”
“Luo Shiqi… Miss Luo, she hasn’t arrived.”
“What, what’s going on?” Ye Shikai couldn’t understand. Luo Shiqi lived in Yanjing; it shouldn’t have been an issue of insufficient time, and she clearly knew today was Ye Shikai’s wedding; she wouldn’t intentionally be late.
“Ding Ling Ling.” At that moment, the sound of a phone ringing arose. Ye Shikai slowly took out his phone, looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen with a bad premonition.
“Hello, who is this?” Ye Shikai’s expression was grave, his tone stiff.
“Mr. Ye, happy wedding day.” On the other end of the phone, a mysterious woman’s voice was heard. Ye Shikai had an excellent memory; he was one hundred percent sure he had never heard this voice before, meaning he did not know the person on the other side.
“Who are you? I don’t know you,” Ye Shikai said coldly.
“Is that so, do you really not know me?” The woman’s tone surprisingly carried a teasing edge, seemingly mocking.
“Just who are you?” Ye Shikai was starting to get angry; he didn’t believe anyone would prank him. He gestured to Ghost, signaling him to investigate the source of the call.
“Shh, Mr. Ye, you are so loud, you might scare the person next to me.” The woman quieted down, and after two seconds, Ye Shikai heard a familiar voice.
“Who are you?” Another voice came through the phone.
“Shiqi, what’s wrong with you?” Upon hearing the voice, Ye Shikai nearly blacked out, his heart seeming to be struck hard by a chisel. He might not recognize the voice of the mysterious woman, but Luo Shiqi’s voice was all too familiar.
“I’m fine, don’t worry about me…”
“Mr. Ye, I believe you’ve recognized who the voice belongs to. Kidnapping Miss Luo wasn’t easy and cost us a little,” the phone returned to the mysterious woman’s hands. Ye Shikai clenched his teeth tightly, fists clenched, with even traces of blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.
“What in the world do you want?” It took a long while for Ye Shikai to muster the strength to speak.
“Says the man getting married today. How would Miss Luo, being a close female friend, feel about this? Mr. Ye, doing this could hurt Miss Luo’s heart,” the mysterious woman said lightly, her laugh floating through the air.
“That’s between her and me, what’s it to you?” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but shout, thankful that the hall was almost empty, or else it would’ve surely drawn a crowd.
“Boss, the wedding is about to start; you should get ready,” Soul Destroyer and Demoness came over at this time.
The minute hand on the wall clock pointed to “ten”; it was ten fifty, leaving only ten minutes before the start of the ceremony.
“Miss Luo has been kidnapped; all the Hidden Guards assigned to her have also been killed,” Ghost said gravely, whispering to the pair.
“What?” Demoness exclaimed, “Then what do we do? The wedding is about to start.”
“Answer me, what exactly do you want?” Ye Shikai roared quietly, his eyes red, forcefully repressing the urge to erupt in rage.
“Mr. Ye, I hope you’ll make a choice.”
“Boss, I’ll go rescue Miss Luo right now,” Soul Destroyer said with a dark face, resolutely turning to leave only to be stopped by Ghost.
“Mr. Ye, if you want to receive Miss Luo alive, then you must come personally. But I guess you will not, after all, Miss Su is still waiting for you in the hall.”
Ye Shikai cursed loudly, resisting the urge to smash his phone to pieces, and forced himself to keep listening.
“Mr. Ye, every move of yours is under our watch. If you don’t want Miss Luo to be harmed, come personally, or else…”
“Wait,” Ye Shikai immediately said.
“Don’t worry, I won’t harm Miss Luo. I wouldn’t dare to offend Mr. Ye’s might. Alright, that’s all for now, since your men have probably pinpointed my location, I don’t need to take any further action. Goodbye.” The woman hung up after finishing her words.
“Bang.” The phone fell to the ground, and Ye Shikai leaned powerlessly against the wall.
“Boss, I promise to bring Miss Luo back safely, please believe me,” Soul Destroyer said firmly. Now, no matter what, Ye Shikai couldn’t leave; the wedding had already started, and Su Qingyu was standing on the stage waiting for Ye Shikai to enter.
“Worm, have you located the position?” Soul Destroyer shouted.
“Found it, in the western suburban area of Yanjing.”
“Boss, wait for me to bring back Miss Luo.”
