Hanging up the phone, the rigid smile on Zhou Jing's face instantly turned into pain and some guilt.
"I've made the call. Can you let go of my mom now?"
Putting down the phone, Zhou Jing turned her head, looking at her mother who was tied up with ropes, alongside that man with sinister eyes. She bit her lip, concern filling her gaze as she spoke!
"Not yet, until Ye Qiu arrives and I kill him, there's no way I'll let anyone go."
Poisonous Snake patted the bound Mrs. Zhou on the shoulder, sneered, and then walked towards Zhou Jing, using his finger to lift Zhou Jing's chin, and said contemptuously, "Don't worry, as long as Ye Qiu arrives, after I kill him, naturally you and your mom will be set free. Just don't act impulsively; just cooperate with me."
Listening to Poisonous Snake's voice, Zhou Jing glanced at her captured mother and closed her eyes, full of pain.
She truly felt sorry for Ye Qiu!!!
Clearly, Ye Qiu had helped their family so much, and the kindness their family received from him couldn't be repaid.
But now, under the threat from Poisonous Snake, she could only do as he said, obediently phoning Ye Qiu, luring Ye Qiu to their house, into this trap ambushed by Poisonous Snake and his men!!!
Moreover, the person she's repaying kindness with resentment is also the one she likes, making her heart ache even more.
Yet, she had no choice but to do so; her mother was in Poisonous Snake's grasp, taken by him and threatened. If she didn't follow his orders, he would kill her mom!!!
After her father left them with a mountain of debt and disappeared, the only family she had left to rely on was Mrs. Zhou!!!
So, between family and Ye Qiu, Zhou Jing wrestled for a long time and ultimately chose the mother who raised her from childhood!!!
…
Hotel.
"Strange, why does it seem like Zhou Jing's voice was a bit off?"
After answering Zhou Jing's call, Ye Qiu frowned, sensing something amiss.
Although, during the call, Zhou Jing invited him to their house for dinner, which Ye Qiu agreed to, it seemed like quite an ordinary call.
However, Ye Qiu felt that Zhou Jing's voice had an unnatural break and stiffness, as if she was very nervous.
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, and decided to follow the instructions from the call and go to Zhou Jing's home to check on the situation.
If Zhou Jing's family encounters some tricky trouble again, Ye Qiu wouldn't mind lending them a hand!
Now, Ye Qiu had just regained his strength, and in the recent training, his Inner Strength had regained Half-Step Divinity Transformation level.
With his power restored to this extent, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a little itchy, wanting to find someone to spar with and test how his strength has returned, what level of power he could exert.
Thinking this, Ye Qiu greeted Ge Zhou and then left to go to Zhou Jing's house.
Little did Ye Qiu know, that as he left the hotel, someone outside started tailing him, and only after he vanished did they pick up the phone to report, "Brother She, Ye Qiu has left the hotel. Ge Zhou is still there, alone."
"Take action, infiltrate the hotel, and capture Ge Zhou for me!!!"
On the other end of the call, Poisonous Snake, upon hearing the news, immediately ordered, "Be cautious not to hurt Ge Zhou, bind his hands and feet with something after capturing him, and gag him to prevent self-harm!!!"
"Understood!"
Poisonous Snake's underlings, upon hearing his orders, nodded without hesitation and officially moved into action, infiltrating the hotel with the intent to capture Ge Zhou as instructed by Poisonous Snake!!!
Meanwhile, Poisonous Snake's face brimmed with a look of triumph.
Everything proceeded according to plan, progressing smoothly!!!
Capturing Ge Zhou should be easy, after all, that Ge Zhou is just an old man, and his underlings have some skills, easily able to apprehend Ge Zhou.
Next, just wait for Ye Qiu to arrive, then deal with him, and everything will be complete!!!
After succeeding, once he reports resolving the matters of Ge Zhou and Ye Qiu to Master Ma, Master Ma will be delighted and generously reward him!!!
The more he thought about it, the more Poisonous Snake felt a bright future ahead, with everything advancing as expected!!!
Beside him, Zhou Jing watched Poisonous Snake's sinister demeanor, feeling even more guilty and remorseful.
Ye Qiu, please don't come over!!!
All Zhou Jing could do was to make futile, self-deceptive prayers in her heart.
…
Ye Qiu arrived soon at Zhou Jing's house area.
Then, as he reached the vicinity of Zhou Jing's house and walked to the entrance, Ye Qiu sharply sensed that something wasn't right about the atmosphere.
The surroundings were too quiet!!!
The last time Ye Qiu came to Zhou Jing's house, he clearly remembered that this rundown old house had terrible soundproofing; one could hear the voices from the living room and the TV sound from standing at the entrance.
But now, standing at the entrance of Zhou Jing's house, Ye Qiu couldn't hear a sound, and the air was eerily silent.
It was as if there was no one inside, so there was no noise, as if Zhou Jing and her family weren't home!!!
This was rather strange.
Clearly, Zhou Jing had called, inviting him for a meal, so at this time, Zhou Jing's family should be inside their home.
As long as they were home, even if they did nothing at all, there should be some sound, yet now, Ye Qiu couldn't hear anything, the air lifelessly silent, unusually abnormal!!!
Perhaps, something really happened at Zhou Jing's house!!!
Ye Qiu's heart sank, looking at Zhou Jing's front door, pausing for a moment before he finally knocked.
After he knocked, footsteps could finally be heard from behind the door.
"Creak~"
The rusty iron gate slowly opened.
Then, what appeared before Ye Qiu wasn't Zhou Jing, nor was it her mother, but a dark gun barrel!!!
