Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 236: Chapter 236: When She Was Young, She Would Get Lost…
 

Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou were so close, and naturally, Pei Ya was paying attention.

From his observations over this period, he knew Li Hanzhou bore no ill intentions towards Qiao Yun, he truly cared for her.

Thinking it over, he said, “I’ll share my location with you.”

“There’s one more thing…” Li Hanzhou’s voice didn’t betray any emotion, “Did she follow willingly?”

“Yes, Professor Qiao had long been aware that someone was tracking her.”

Pei Ya couldn’t help feeling a bit of schadenfreude, thinking that if he couldn’t restrain Professor Qiao, it was uncertain whether Li Hanzhou could.

Li Hanzhou: “Heh…”

A naughty child deserves a spanking.

Qiao Yun was taken out of the car.

Her eyes were still blindfolded, but from the salty fishy smell in the air, she deduced that she had been taken to somewhere like a dock.

“Is this her?” someone spoke up.

Qiao Yun guessed, the kidnappers had met up with their accomplices.

“Not bad, right?” The person who kidnapped her spoke.

“Young, with a tender face, she’s sure to be very popular.”

“It took a lot of effort to get her, we must get a good price.”

“What happened, any complications?”

The kidnapper angrily said, “Don’t mention it, we were almost caught. As soon as we made our move, someone was right on our tails.”

“Does this little girl have connections?” The person asked, but was not the least bit worried.

“Who cares about her background, once we are out in international waters, no matter her background, no one can do anything about it.”

“Hahaha, you’re right, and the more prominent her background, the higher the price. That’s the thrill those people are after, isn’t it?”

The group of people were full of mockery in their conversation, not the least bit ashamed of their heinous acts.

Qiao Yun understood.

This was a human trafficking organization, and the buyers were not ordinary either.

Their targets were always young and beautiful girls.

The transactions were likely taking place in international waters, hence their ability to evade the law until now.

Why had they targeted her?

Qiao Yun didn’t believe there was no reason behind it.

“Why kidnap me?” She was someone who asked whatever she wanted to know, and there wasn’t a trace of fear on her face.

This took her kidnappers by surprise.

How could this young girl stay so calm in the face of their threat?

Possibly due to Qiao Yun’s atypical behavior, her question was answered.

“Of course, someone gave us your information, but it’s because you’re pretty that you caught our eye.”

“Who was it?” Qiao Yun asked.

“First tell me, why aren’t you afraid?” the kidnapper asked her in return.

“You’re too weak,” Qiao Yun answered.

In fact, this wasn’t her first encounter with such a situation.

She had been lost as a child because she was kidnapped, nearly sold to someone with strange fetishes.

Luckily, she was rescued.

Later, due to some reasons, she didn’t return to the Lu Family, and instead was taken in by her grandfather.

Qiao Yun’s words stunned the kidnappers.

Qiao Yun continued to probe, “You should tell me now, who hired you.”

“Thinking of finding out? I just won’t tell you,” he said.

Laughter filled the surroundings once again, as if they found teasing her to be amusing.

“Not keeping promises is not good,” Qiao Yun said.

“You’re the one who can’t even ensure her own safety yet you worry about such things. Girl, rest assured, you’ll definitely be our most expensive merchandise in years.”

“I don’t like people who break promises,” Qiao Yun stated.

Qiao Yun spoke evenly, suddenly lifting her hands and pulling down the blindfold covering her eyes, revealing her pair of clear, dark, indifferent pupils.

“Breaking promises warrants a lesson,” she said.

The kidnappers didn’t even have time to be surprised; weren’t her hands tied up? When had they been untied?

An unknown object, thrown from somewhere, arched through the air.

The next second, choking smoke engulfed them all.
