My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me

Lu Weixi had been bound and brought here a day ago. She was blindfolded the entire time, her hands and feet tied up. The only small mercy was, perhaps because she didn’t scream after the cloth in her mouth was removed, the two kidnappers seemed to trust her somewhat. Every few hours, she would occasionally ask for a sip of water, and they wouldn’t constantly insult or strike her, even though they didn’t always comply with her requests, it was still somewhat manageable. As time passed, Lu Weixi increasingly suspected that these two kidnappers were just middlemen, not the masterminds behind her abduction, perhaps merely "guards". If they had kidnapped her just for money, they would have called Qin Zhiyou to demand a ransom or asked her directly for a bank transfer, instead of doing nothing but play cards all day. Revenge seemed unlikely too; although Qin Zhiyou and she had provoked quite a few enemies, none seemed crazed enough to resort to kidnapping. Even if they had incited some violent adversaries, it would more likely result in a direct attack, hardly giving her a chance to still be breathing. The most plausible explanation was that she was being used as a pawn in some sort of game against Qin Zhiyou’s Hanhai for certain benefits.

While she quietly waited, she also pondered the possibilities of escape. Her limbs were tied behind her back, and any slight movement caused the ropes to painfully bite into her flesh. She felt like she was in some abandoned factory or a building set for demolition based on the surroundings. It was very quiet, seemingly deserted, with only the occasional sound of a car in the distance. The only lively sounds were perhaps the insects and birds not far away.

Whenever the kidnappers walked around, they would occasionally step on something akin to sheet metal, bulging and making noise. Although she knew she was currently disabled, she first needed to pacify the mood of these kidnappers, knowing that they weren’t going to harm her just yet. But naturally, she still wanted to escape and was constantly looking for an opportunity.

In any case, she had to force herself to stay calm, not to risk everything for something small, and definitely not to provoke the kidnappers until she saw a glimmer of hope for escape.

Soon, there was a change in the situation. It was when she felt the night falling outside, one of the kidnappers received a phone call. Lu Weixi, who had been tentatively moving her hands, perked up her ears at the sound of the ringtone, listening intently, not wanting to miss any subtle sounds!

"Hello, got it, I’ll handle it right away."

She quickly heard the voice of someone making a phone call, which was especially noticeable in the empty room. It wasn’t long before the other person also picked up the phone, and even though there was no speakerphone, she could hear very clearly—it was Qin Zhiyou’s voice!

Perhaps her kidnapping wasn’t as thrilling as others’, but being bound for a whole day, not only did she have to suppress her inner fear, she also had to be careful not to infuriate the kidnappers, think of ways to escape, and preserve her stable emotions. Although her mind was sharp, she was still on the brink of collapse.

But hearing Qin Zhiyou’s voice, she felt as if she had grasped a lifeline while drowning, suddenly filled with the hope of survival. She listened attentively, afraid of missing any bit of information. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

Indeed, the kidnapper had called Qin Zhiyou as instructed. The kidnapper opened with a direct statement: "Mr. Qin from Hanhai, your wife and child are in my hands. If you don’t want them dead, I want ten billion from you."
