Chapter 27: The Bloodthirsty White Lotus

Song Qingtian arrived at the agreed-upon location and saw a man in a trench coat standing there.

He wore a stern expression, and even before Song Qingtian got close, she felt several degrees colder—she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. This guy really was like a central air conditioner.

And it was one that only cooled, not heated.

Seeing his demeanor, Song Qingtian suddenly hesitated to approach.

“Mr. Ling, Miss Song has arrived.”

Ling Hanyu turned around upon hearing the Secretary’s reminder and finally caught sight of the woman.

“So, I hear you wanted to play hide-and-seek with me? Hmm?”

Just those few words sent shivers down Song Qingtian’s spine.

Was Ling Hanyu a devil? How could he know everything?

“No… no, I brought Nuonuo to the countryside for fun.”

Before Song Qingtian could finish her sentence, the man firmly clamped both of her hands in his large grip and shoved her into the car.

Song Qingtian couldn’t break free at all.

“Ling Hanyu, this is kidnapping—you’re breaking the law!”

“Taking your own wife home—is that illegal too?”

Ling Hanyu was desperate to see through her act and force her to admit that this was just a ploy to get his attention.

“We’ve already…”

“Enough!”

Song Qingtian was about to speak again, but Ling Hanyu cut her off immediately.

He leaned in closer and looked directly at Song Qingtian. “If you want to play, don’t bring Nuonuo along. If you do, then stay put at home obediently.”

Bang, bang, bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

Warning glints were already flashing in Ling Hanyu’s eyes, but he was still so close that Song Qingtian’s heart began pounding uncontrollably.

“Get away from me!”

As Ling Hanyu drew nearer and nearer, the thrilling urge to rip him apart surged back into her mind.

Terrified, Song Qingtian quickly said something to him.

“This is awful… absolutely awful…”

This original owner’s body was truly terrifying.

It seemed she’d have to find a way to correct this habit once and for all.

“Huh? Get away? Weren’t you the one who always liked me to come closer?”

Ling Hanyu thought Song Qingtian was deliberately playing games.

Just then, Song Qingtian’s phone suddenly rang.

It was Apo, the elderly woman who helped take care of Nuonuo.

“Sweetie! Hurry back—Nuonuo’s gone missing! I only took my eyes off her for a second, and she was gone!”

Song Qingtian’s mind exploded. She asked in disbelief, “How long has she been missing?”

“I’m on my way back right now!”

With that, Song Qingtian hung up the phone.

“You heard that, didn’t you? Nuonuo’s missing. Take me back immediately—I have to find her!”

As she spoke, Song Qingtian tried to get out of the car, but Ling Hanyu smirked, clearly thinking it was just another trick. He ordered the driver to keep going, ignoring her struggles completely.

“Ling Hanyu, I’m not lying—this is real!”

Ling Hanyu stared at the deep hatred in her eyes, his heart trembling, yet he showed no sign of it on his face, remaining cold as ice.

“Do you think I’d believe the ‘Wolf is Coming’ story?”

Song Qingtian was beside herself!

It turned out the Song Qingtian in the novel had told far too many lies. How could she possibly convince him now?

“Then let me swear on my honor—this time, the wolf really is coming!”

Song Qingtian added.

But Ling Hanyu just smiled, looked at her like she was an idiot, and drove her straight home, locking her in her bedroom.

Meanwhile, Ling Hanyu left to go look for Nuonuo.

Song Qingtian pounded frantically on the door, but no matter how loudly she shouted, it was as if no one was outside—only the echo of her desperate cries remained.

Song Qingtian was terrified, feeling certain that something terrible had happened to Nuonuo—not just that she’d gotten lost!

Her anxiety made her pace back and forth restlessly in the room.

Just then, her phone rang. For a moment, she thought it was Ling Hanyu calling, that Nuonuo had been found.

But when she looked, it was Song Yinyin.

“Sister, guess who’s with me right now?”

“Mommy, I’m so scared!”

Ling Nuonuo’s voice was very soft, but Song Qingtian could hear it perfectly.

“Baby, don’t be afraid—Mommy’s coming to save you right away!”

“Song Yinyin, how could Nuonuo be in your hands?”

After calming Ling Nuonuo, Song Qingtian quickly talked to Song Yinyin.

What a shock!

Although she hadn’t read many novels, this kind of plot—where the female lead directly kidnaps a child—wasn’t exactly common, was it?

Didn’t most people just hire a hitman or something?
