Chapter 1089 She was saved
"Mr. Yan, what's wrong?"
"I can't get through to Madam on the phone. I don't know where she is either. Come with me to look for her."
"Young Master Yan, Madam is a grown woman, she can't possibly be lost."
"Stop talking nonsense. Come with me now."
"Okay, Mr. Yan."
. . . . . .
the other side.
Shen Qing opened the car door.
He took a bank card out of his bag.
"There's 200,000 in this card, please let me go!"
"Let you go? You think I'm a child? I'm going to kill you."
"Xiao Li, how could you go back on your word? Didn't you say you'd let me go once I gave you the money?"
"At a time like this, you still believe what I say?"
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to take your life."
"Xiao Li, you know I have children! What will happen if my two children die? I beg you, please don't kill me."
She cried while secretly observing Xiao Li's expression.
His eyes darted around, clearly nervous, and he kept looking back at the intersection to see if the police had come.
Shen Qing's heart sank, but her will to survive prevented her from giving up.
"If you feel the money isn't enough, I can give you more. I just beg you not to hurt me. I can't let my child be without a mother."
"If I don't want to hurt you, then why would I leave you as a threat?"
"Xiao Li, I promise you that if you do anything wrong, I won't tell anyone about what you did."
"Do you think I would believe what you say? Especially you, Shen Qing."
Time seemed to drag on endlessly, each second feeling like torture.
Shen Qing felt her back was soaked with cold sweat, and her heart was pounding in her chest as if it would burst out of her chest.
All she could do was plead and delay, numbing the other party with fear and submission, waiting for that faint but only hope.
"I……"
"Shut up, I'm going to kill you right now." Xiao Li raised his knife.
Ahead, the faint sound of police sirens seemed to drift in. Although it was still far away, in this quiet alley, it was like a ray of dawn, instantly illuminating Shen Qing's despairing heart.
Her body trembled slightly, and her tears flowed even more fiercely, but this time, in addition to fear, there was also a faint glimmer of hope in her tears.
"Listen...did you hear anything?" Shen Qing asked deliberately in a trembling voice, trying to get Xiao Li's attention.
Xiao Li was indeed startled for a moment, and listened alertly. The sound of the sirens seemed to be getting closer.
"N-nothing! Hurry up!" Xiao Li's voice became somewhat flustered. He seemed to have heard something and became even more anxious.
Just then, a clear voice shouted: "Police! Don't move inside!"
Xiao Li's expression changed drastically. He suddenly looked up at the front, his eyes filled with terror.
Shen Qing was overjoyed and almost cried out, but she held back. She knew she was not truly out of danger yet.
Xiao Li spoke in a deep voice, "Tell me, was it you who called the police?"
"I...I don't know why the police came?"
"Don't pretend with me."
"I...I really don't know."
"You are now surrounded. I advise you to release the person immediately."
Xiao Li was clearly flustered. He instinctively brandished the knife in his hand, cursed under his breath, and then turned to run away.
But it was too late. Several policemen rushed in and shouted, "Stop! Drop your weapons!"
Almost instantly, several police officers pounced on him and pinned him to the ground.
The cold handcuffs snapped shut on Xiao Li's wrists, and his struggles quickly became futile.
Only then did Shen Qing's tense nerves suddenly relax, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
But he also said, "Officer, there are people in the river... there are people in the river."
Several policemen walked together toward the river.
Shen Qing looked at Xiao Li being taken away, and then at the police officers beside her. The fear and grievances that had been building up for so long finally burst out. She could no longer hold back and squatted down on the ground, bursting into tears.
The cries contained lingering fear, relief, and a profound exhaustion from surviving a near-death experience. As darkness fell, a sense of warmth seemed to creep in.
At this moment, Yan Bei also arrived.
"Wife."
Shen Qing looked up and saw Yan Bei, then hugged him. "How did you know I was here?"
"Honey, I've been trying to call you but haven't been able to reach you. Luckily, Yang Jian told me that there's a GPS tracker in your car."
"make you worry."
"Honey, I'm so glad you're alright. Isn't that Xiao Li? What are you doing here?"
“I followed him. He knocked Li Zekun unconscious and threw him into the river. I don’t know if he’s alive or dead now.”
"You were following him?"
"Yes, because I found out that Qin Feng's car accident was caused by him and Li Zekun together."
Yan Bei nodded. "Wife, let me help you into the car."
"Yeah." Shen Qing nodded.
At this moment, the police officer spoke up, "Thank you. Your timely report allowed us to catch the criminal."
Shen Qing said, "You're welcome."
Yan Bei helped Shen Qing into the car.
"Honey, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up."
"I'm fine, Xiao Li didn't do anything to me."
"Really?"
"Uh-huh."
"Alright then, let's go home."
"Uh-huh."
"Don't do dangerous things like this again. If you want to do them, call me."
"I didn't expect it to turn out like this," Shen Qing said, still somewhat shaken.
The person sitting in the back seat also had to hug her and hold her in their arms.
"Honey, please don't take such risks again. I'll worry about you."
"I know, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"Alright, stop overthinking it. Xiao Li has already been punished by law."
"Hmm, by the way, why did you suddenly think of looking for me?" Shen Qing looked up at Yan Bei.
"Li Zihao, do you remember me? The one who helped treat the burns on your face."
"Uh-huh."
"He contacted me today and is planning to treat us to dinner tonight."
"Have a meal?"
"Yes, yes. I've already told him to change the time."
"All right!"
