Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 775

Chapter 775 Set a Trap for Her, Waiting for Her to Fall Into It

Su Ziyue believed she must be conceiving a daughter this time, or she wouldn't be acting so much like a baby.

And despite Qin Muchen's firm attitude, he couldn't resist Su Ziyue's pestering and coaxing. Ultimately, he gave in and took Su Ziyue to Jingcheng City with him.

Su Ziyue didn't mean it when she said Qin Zixi could take care of her, but never did she think Qin Muchen took it seriously and brought Qin Zixi along.

What could she say about that? Qin Muchen couldn't possibly expect Qin Zixi to really take care of her, could he?

Then again, it was good that Qin Zixi tagged along as well. They could treat it as a trip.

…

When An Xia woke up, everything was pitch black.

She tried to move her body and realized that her hands and feet were tied up. After a moment of confusion, she remembered that she had been kidnapped.

Unable to move or see anything, she was about to call for help when she heard the voices of two men outside.

"Is she really Bai Jingshu's wife?"

"It's her, no doubt about it. She looks exactly like the person in the photo."

"She's not that good-looking, though."

"Maybe she's good in bed."

An Xia really wanted to curse. Am I really that ugly?! I'll have you know that I still stand out in a crowd, alright?! Though I lack a little when standing next to Bai Jingshu, that is. But how can you people judge others on their appearance?! Shouldn't you appreciate others for their inner qualities?!

She really wanted to retort, but she didn't know what was going on at the moment. So, she decided to play dead and stay unchanged to adapt to any situation.

It was unbelievable that she had been kidnapped right at the entrance of the Bai Residence.

She closed her eyes and organized her thoughts. Strangely, she didn't feel scared.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and one of the men said, "Why hasn't she woken up yet?"

The other quickly replied, "Splash some water on her, and she'll wake up."

Instantly An Xia dared not play dead anymore. She quickly sat up straight and cried out, "Don't! I'm awake. I'm fully awake!"

It was winter, and there was no heating in the room. If they splashed cold water on her, she might freeze to death.

As a true Southerner, she couldn't withstand the cold.

One of the men went up to her, removed her blindfold, and pinched her chin. He leaned in close and said in a menacing tone, "D*mn it! You woke up and didn't make a sound, pretending to be dead!"

Her chin hurt from the pinch, so she dared not speak anymore as a growing sense of fear surged within her.

The man looked at her with a sinister expression. "Speak up, you mute!"

Enduring the pain in her chin, An Xia twitched the corner of her lips and said calmly, "You're really handsome."

Her inexplicable comment stumped the man for a moment before he burst into laughter.

"You're interesting, woman, and you have good taste. I used to be the school's heartthrob!"

An Xia was speechless. She meant nothing of it, but who'd have thought the kidnappers were upright and actually believed her?!

Still, she didn't dare let her guard down and seized the chance to ask, "Why did you kidnap me?"

"So you know you've been kidnapped, eh? But you don't seem to be afraid of us." The man looked at her with great interest.

An Xia pursed her lips and was about to speak when the other man said, " Kun, why waste time with her? We just need her to lure Bai Yunan over…"

His gaze became lecherous, latching to An Xia like a sticky snake. He rubbed his hands together and said, "We're going to dispose of her anyway, so why not let me have some fun first?"

The man called Kun turned around and glared at him. "Can't you think of anything else besides women, Lao Wu? If you really want a woman, go play with Bai Yeqi's wife. She's prettier than this one."

An Xia looked at Kun in surprise. She thought the man didn't seem entirely evil; his features were rugged, and he didn't look like a thoroughly wicked person.

However, when he mentioned "Bai Yeqi" in passing, An Xia became suspicious.

She pinched her stiff hands and asked, "When you say the Bai family, do you mean the one in the military compound?"

Kun glanced at her, and the scar on his face appeared somewhat sinister.

After a while, he said, "Duh!"

An Xia's heart skipped a beat. "Did you also kidnap her?"

Kun suddenly burst into laughter. "It's thanks to her that we were able to capture you."

An Xia was stunned for a moment, and after a brief daze, she realized what Kun meant—Shu Yanian helped them kidnap her.

"You're in cahoots with her?" An Xia looked at them warily, her heart pounding tightly.

"Cahoots with her? A woman like her still isn't worthy of it. Our target is Bai Yunan."

An Xia felt inexplicably relieved when she heard that they weren't in cahoots with Shu Yanian. "What's the point of kidnapping me then? I'm not Bai Yunan's wife!"

"Oh, but you're his sister-in-law. He won't ignore you."

"Why didn't you kidnap Shu Yanian instead? She's also his sister-in-law!"

"That's why she helped us capture you." Who knew where Kun got all of his patience to entertain An Xia for so long.

An Xia finally understood the general picture at this point. These people had a grudge against Bai Yunan, and their ultimate goal was him. Whether they kidnapped her or Shu Yanian made no difference. She only ended up being the hostage because Shu Yanian helped them.

Lu Qingyou had warned her to be cautious, and she had taken the advice seriously. However, she never expected that Shu Yanian had set a trap for her, waiting for her to fall into it without even facing her directly.

Just then, Lao Wu's phone rang. He glanced at the screen and said to Kun, "It's that woman."

At that, Kun took the phone and put it on speaker. Immediately after the call connected, an unfamiliar and strange voice came through.

"Have you captured her?"

The caller had evidently used a voice changer.

Kun replied, "We caught her."

"Look after her, then. This is all I can do for you. Don't contact me again."

Although An Xia had spent a short time with Shu Yanian, she could still make out the latter's tone.

She didn't expect Shu Yanian to be so malicious.

She might appear knowledgeable and reasonable, but in reality, she was quite clueless.

An Xia could overlook the matter if it was just some petty scheming between women, but these people were after Bai Yunan.

On a smaller scale, Bai Yunan was the heir of the Bai family. If anything happened to him, nothing good would come of Shu Yanian either. On a larger scale, Bai Yunan was a decorated senior military officer. If anything happened to him, it would have significant consequences.

Shu Yanian probably thought she was being discreet, but Bai Yunan wasn't a pushover. After serving in the military for so many years, he had strong investigative abilities, and it wouldn't take long for him to trace things back to her. The young woman thought she was smart, but she couldn't even figure this out.

At this moment, An Xia wasn't worried about herself but about Bai Jingshu. She was afraid that Bai Jingshu would act impulsively and do something foolish.
