Chapter 719: Kidnapped
The moment Chen Lan finished speaking, before Mu Xiaoyu could even react to what was happening, a handkerchief suddenly appeared behind her and covered her mouth and nose.
In an instant, Mu Xiaoyu lost consciousness.
Just before she fainted, Mu Xiaoyu felt a pang of regret. Indeed, one shouldn't be so complacent; being a reporter had made her lose her head, completely forgetting the dangers around her.
See, now we've stumbled and fallen.
Mu Xiaoyu was filled with regret, but unfortunately, she had been kidnapped, and no matter how much she regretted it, it was too late.
When she woke up again, Mu Xiaoyu was no longer in the hospital. She was in a very simple house, with nothing but the wire bed beneath her.
It's unclear how long she was unconscious. When she woke up, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if her bones were broken. She was in great pain.
It seems she's been taken too good to Li Chenxu, to the point that she can't even bear the slightest hardship now.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaoyu wasn't a delicate person. Even if she was feeling unwell, she understood that the current situation wasn't the time to dwell on those things.
She endured the pain and carefully observed her surroundings.
She had no idea where Chen Lan had taken her. Now, in this small room, besides the tightly closed door, there was only a small window at the very back.
Unfortunately, the window was covered up from the outside with paper, making it impossible to see what was happening outside.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but think of Li Chenxu.
It's likely that Li Chenxu already knows about her disappearance by now. The two of them had only reconciled a few days ago, and then this happened. Li Chenxu must be very worried about her now.
Mu Xiaoyu sighed inwardly, carefully moving her body without making a sound that might attract the attention of those outside.
She couldn't worry about anything else right now; she had to figure out her current situation.
It's unclear whether Chen Lan truly wanted her dead or had some other purpose. But whatever the reason, it wasn't a good thing for Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu carefully moved to the window, glanced at the doorway, and after hearing no noise, began to study the window's structure.
She had to find a way to break the window so she could see what was happening outside. If she was lucky, there might be someone nearby who could help her.
Unfortunately, the ideal is lofty, but the reality is harsh.
Although the window was of poor quality, it was extremely airtight. Mu Xiaoyu had no tools and had no way to open it.
Using violence would definitely attract attention.
Mu Xiaoyu was in a dilemma when suddenly footsteps came from the doorway.
Startled, she quickly returned to her previous position and lay down on the bed, continuing to pretend to be asleep.
Mu Xiaoyu had her eyes closed and couldn't see who was coming, but judging from the voices, there should be more than one person.
"Why isn't he awake yet?"
Suddenly someone spoke, and the familiar voice made Mu Xiaoyu's heart sink to the bottom.
While she and Li Chenxu were plotting against Li's father at the hospital, she never expected that the people who kidnapped her this time would include not only Chen Lan but also Li's father!
She had long known that Li Chenxu and his father had completely broken off relations, but she never expected that even after things had come to this point, his father would still be so dishonest!
This time, no matter the outcome, Li's father will definitely be in deep trouble, and Li Chenxu will never let him off the hook!
As for herself, this time she is probably in grave danger.
Mu Xiaoyu was self-aware enough to know how much her father, Li, disliked her.
If that person gets ruthless, he might really kill her this time. After all, it's not like Li's father hasn't done things like hiring someone to commit murder before.
Originally, Mu Xiaoyu thought she wouldn't be afraid of going through these things, but now she realizes that she is actually just an ordinary person.
Even in such a situation, she would still be afraid.
Mu Xiaoyu used almost all her strength to barely prevent herself from breaking her spell.
She can't wake up like this, or danger will follow.
"It's probably because his health is too poor and he took too much medicine. Let's wait a bit longer; he'll probably wake up soon."
This time, it was Chen Lan who spoke. She seemed to be unable to control her emotions as she spoke. She took two steps forward and slapped Mu Xiaoyu's face several times.
This time, no matter how much Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to wake up, she had to wake up now.
She pretended to have just woken up, her gaze fixed on her father, Li, with a look of fear on her face.
"How could it be you!"
"Why wouldn't it be me? You don't actually think that old geezer in the hospital is me, do you?"
Of course, they weren't really stupid enough to think that old man was Li's father, but at a time like this, how could Mu Xiaoyu possibly say it out loud?
So he pretended to be completely unaware, as if he were terrified.
The father at the hospital was indeed an imposter. The one standing there that Mu Xiaoyu bought last year, although he does look a bit older than before, doesn't look much different from his previous appearance. He's not nearly as exaggerated as the one at the hospital.
Only now did Mu Xiaoyu truly understand the real purpose behind what Li's father had done these past few days.
They didn't want to damage Li Chenxu's reputation at all; their target was her.
They wanted her and Li Chenxu to lower their guard, and then kidnap her like they did today!
Whether the target is Mu Xiaoyu or Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu still doesn't know.
This time, however, Mu Xiaoyu knew that she was likely in grave danger.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Forcing herself to calm down, Mu Xiaoyu questioned Li's father and the others. Unfortunately, as soon as she opened her mouth, Chen Lan slapped Mu Xiaoyu several more times.
It seemed as if she wanted to vent all the resentment she had held for Mu Xiaoyu at this moment. After slapping him several times, she still seemed unsatisfied and raised her hand to hit him again.
"Alright, stop hitting her. This woman is in poor health. If something goes wrong now, all our previous efforts will be wasted."
Li's father clearly looked down on Chen Lan, but because the two were now in a cooperative relationship, he didn't give Chen Lan a hard time.
The ingrained class consciousness meant that even though Chen Lan was unhappy, she didn't hit Mu Xiaoyu again.
In fact, if it were before, Mu Xiaoyu would have started to resist long ago.
However, her health is not as good as before, and coupled with the aftereffects of the drug she was given, she is weak all over.
Chen Lan slapped her several times, and she had no chance to resist at all. Her fair face was now swollen, and the five finger marks were deeply imprinted on her face.
Her face burned with pain, and Mu Xiaoyu felt like she was about to faint again.
