Chapter 596: 439 Looks not smart_3

“Quan Xiaonian, what are you doing here now? Did they do anything to you?” Xiaoyan glanced at his carefree sister and was at a loss for words.

Who the hell gets kidnapped and ends up playing Fight the Landlord with the kidnappers? Playing Fight the Landlord is one thing, but she was the only one winning while everyone else lost, either with faces covered in sticky notes or crawling around on the ground.

This doesn’t look like a kidnapping, it seems more like a vacation.

“I really was kidnapped, but I did indeed convince them with my abilities. Sister, you have no idea how panicked I was when they dragged me into the car, but I didn’t show it on my face. I kept chatting with them, and I drew out their secrets.” Xiaonian giggled and waved at Zhao Youqian: “You’re all seeking justice, right? Come on, tell my sister about it.”

Xiaofeng listened to Xiaonian’s words and whispered to her, “Xiaonian, what are you playing at? What justice? I’m not a police officer; I can’t help people obtain justice.”

“Sis, they are indeed pitiful, otherwise I wouldn’t have agreed. I’ve already told him that you are the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Gu, and they trust you especially. So, sis, out of pity for them, please help them out. I don’t think they’re truly bad at heart.”

“Xiaonian, I can’t afford to be soft-hearted. Bad people don’t write the word ‘bad’ on their foreheads. No matter who they are or what reasons they have, it doesn’t change the fact that they are kidnappers who have kidnapped you.”

“Speak, what was your purpose in kidnapping my sister?” Xiaoyan had already grabbed Zhao Youqian by the collar, looking fierce.

Xiaoyan isn’t very old, and even pretending to be fierce, he still looked like a cute kind of fierce.

Zhao Youqian, collar grabbed, grew angry: “What else does one do when kidnapping someone, if not for money? If it weren’t for money, why would I kidnap her? I heard that anyone who can afford to see movies comes from a good family. She was standing at the cinema entrance, so if I don’t kidnap her, who else should I kidnap?”

“You heard him, right? He admitted he’s a kidnapper. Long Ge, sister, what are we waiting for? Take them all back and hand them over to the police.” Kidnapping even the miss of the Quan Family, they must have guts as big as leopards’ hearts.

“Tell the truth, who exactly are you people? If you don’t speak up, we can only turn you over to the cops. Once at the police station, a single charge of kidnapping is enough to make you suffer plenty.” Xiaofeng looked into Zhao Youqian’s eyes, realizing that this man was likely the leader among these youngsters.

“Yes, we did initially plan to kidnap her and then extort fifty thousand yuan.” Zhao Youqian understood the other party meant what they said: “We were all workers at Yaorong Electronics. In total, eight people from our village entered that factory, but less than half a month after starting, one of our fellow villagers had his hand severed by machinery while on the job, and now he’s laid up in the hospital.”

“We all come from Shihe Village, which lies next to the outlying provinces and far from the Imperial Capital, so the villagers there are dirt poor. All the money our village could gather wasn’t enough to treat our fellow villager’s hand. We had to go back to the factory to ask for compensation, yet despite many days of work, we got none of our wages, and on top of that, they kicked us out, claiming that it was our fault for improper operation, that it had nothing to do with the factory, and that we wouldn’t get a penny in compensation.”

Zhao Youqian said this with reddened eyes: “Yes, we’re from a rural area, and we came to the factory hoping to find good work and earn some money, never expecting to encounter something like this.”

Coming out with high hopes and taking the young lads from the village to work in the factories, only to encounter such an incident, no one’s heart could be at ease.

“So, you kidnapped my sister, but what does that have to do with not getting your money at the factory? Even if you have to kidnap, you should kidnap that unscrupulous boss or his daughter or wife, why kidnap my sister? Once you took someone, who knows, the other party might just honestly pay up,” suggested Xiaofeng kindly.

Zhao Youqian slapped his forehead: “Yeah, why didn’t I think of that.”

Everyone: “….”

In their minds, there was only one thought: he really doesn’t seem to be too clever.

“You can still take action tonight; why don’t you give it a try?” Xiaofeng looked on, half-smiling and half-teasing.

“Don’t even think about deceiving me. She already told me that you’re the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Gu and that her older brother is the police precinct captain. If I told you I’m going to kidnap tonight, you’d definitely arrest me. I’m not that foolish.”

Thinking it would be easy to fool him? Not so easy.
