Han Xi could clearly hear Song Mengmeng’s crying, her heart instantly jumped to her throat: "Don’t hurt..." Before she could finish, the call was disconnected.
Han Xi gripped her phone and hurriedly dialed Zhong Li’s number, which was quickly answered on the other end: "Xiao Xi, I’m about to start a meeting. If it’s not urgent, can we talk later?"
"Sis, Han Yaxin kidnapped Meng Meng, she wants both of us to meet her."
Han Xi’s panicked voice carried a trace of tremor, Meng Meng’s crying just now really left her unable to calm her emotions.
"Kidnapping? Is she out of her mind? Don’t worry, I’ll come right away. Send me the address."
"Okay." Han Xi hurriedly hung up and sent the address to Zhong Li.
After receiving the text, Zhong Li stood up from the chair in the conference hall, grabbed the coat draped over the chair back and placed it on her arm: "President Gu, I’m really sorry, I have some personal matters and need to leave immediately. I’ll arrange for someone else to sign the contract with you right away."
Gu Nanxi closed the document in his hand, stood up with his hands in his pockets: "I’ll drive you there."
Zhong Li was about to refuse but remembered she hadn’t driven today. Rescuing someone was urgent, and she didn’t have time to be particular. She nodded to Gu Nanxi: "Then thank you, President Gu."
The two left the conference room together. While waiting for the elevator, Zhong Li put on the coat from her arm and casually brushed the hair out from under her clothes.
Today, she was representing the company to come here and sign a contract with Gu Nanxi. Whether it was a coincidence or deliberately arranged by him, this task was originally handled by another colleague, yet for some unknown reason, it was reassigned to her.
In the elevator, Gu Nanxi turned around and looked at her, speaking casually: "Who got kidnapped?"
"President Gu’s ex-girlfriend kidnapped Xiao Xi’s half-sister, and now she wants Xiao Xi and me to meet her."
"Han Yaxin?"
Zhong Li nodded and didn’t speak further, she was very worried about Han Xi, terrified something might happen to her.
Once out of the elevator, the two hastily got in the car. Zhong Li recited the address to Gu Nanxi before leaning over to fasten her seatbelt.
.......
Han Xi had just called Lu Jinghan again, saying that the person who took Meng Meng was Han Yaxin, and she was currently in the elevator heading to the rooftop.
Upon hearing that Han Xi went alone to the rooftop, Lu Jinghan worriedly rushed to the elevator, frantically pressing the button. Watching the red floor numbers barely move, Lu Jinghan, burning with anxiety, dashed into the staircase.
The wind on the rooftop was strong, Han Xi tightly gripped her phone, deeply pained to see the little girl crying so hard her face was a mess: "Han Yaxin, release Meng Meng, I’ll agree to any demands you have."
Song Mengmeng cried even louder when she saw Han Xi: "Sister, I want my sister..."
"Shut up."
Han Yaxin shouted impatiently, letting the little one struggle desperately in her arms.
Han Xi took a few steps forward, attempting to draw closer softly: "Meng Meng, don’t be afraid, sister will save you."
"You better stay there and don’t move, or I’ll throw this little girl down immediately."
Han Yaxin’s crimson eyes were vicious, like a demon crawling out of hell, her voice was chillingly cold: "Why do I have to suffer daily torment, beatings, while you and Han Siyu can live carefree lives? I’ve fallen to this state all thanks to you sisters. The luxury life I desired and my former boyfriend were all snatched by you. Now I not only have nothing, but I also endure daily abuse from that perverted old man. Han Xi, what you owe me in this lifetime will never be repaid."
