Chapter 100: Chapter 94: Kidnapping Qiao Jing
“Hmm?”
Qiao Jing was stunned by the question, mainly because she hadn't expected Zhan Qipei to suddenly ask
something like that.
Who was the man she married in her dream? She hadn't paid much attention to that.
She had been immersing herself in the warmth of her mother; why bother with this?
However, since Zhan Qipei had asked so suddenly, she instinctively tried to recall that dream.
In the dream, she was wearing a wedding dress, standing next to her was her husband.
The man was tall, with straight, long legs, and she looked up.
That face—
It was him!
Qiao Jing’s pupils suddenly dilated, and ripples stirred in her heart.
Zhan Qipei had been watching Qiao Jing all along, so even the subtlest expressions on her face were captured by
him.
“Who?” His voice was low and magnetic, hoarse.
Qiao Jing lightly arched her delicate brows, looking up at the man much taller than herself, the sheight as in
her dream.
“I don’t remember.”
She was lying!
Zhan Qipei didn’t believe her, and he felt it definitely wasn’t him. Otherwise, why wouldn't she tell the truth?
“Really don’t remember?” Zhan Qipei asked, half-seriously, his dark eyes fixed on Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing nodded indifferently. Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Qiao Jing averted her gaze, walking out
of the elevator calmly.
Zhan Qipei continued to watch Qiao Jing’s retreating figure, his stern face slightly puckered in brooding
pensiveness.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—" The sound of the vibrating phone rang out.
The call was from Tang Yan.
It must have been about the task he had assigned to Tang Yan.
The call connected.
“Boss, Hou Bo has cout of the entertainment club, and he seems drunk.”
“Exact address.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yan thought the boss was personally going to vent anger for Miss Qiao. The boss was
pretty nice to Miss Qiao.
The scene shifted.
Hou Bo embraced a girl as he got into the car.
“Go, go back!”

“Yes.”
The driver had been swapped out by one of Tang Yan's men, and at the moment, the person sitting in the
driver's seat was a bodyguard from Zhan Corporation.
Hou Bo was completely unaware, holding a woman dressed in “ragged” clothes, laughing with her, while
pinching her waist.
“Boss Hou, stop it!” While the woman said she disliked it, her body clung into Hou Bo’s arms.
“You little vixen, I'll tyou today!” Hou Bo joined his fingers together, mimicking a Taoist gesture, poking the
woman's chest.
“Ah, | can’t move!” The woman played along, lying on Hou Bo, “Spare my life! As long as you letgo, | won't
resist whatever you do.”
“Hahaha—" Hou Bo was amused by the woman in his arms, laughing loudly as he smacked her perky butt feeling
exhilarated.
The Zhan family bodyguard watched this scene through the rearview mirror, his lips curling under his mask.
Twenty minutes later, the woman's gaze settled on the car window, noticing white poplar trees on both sides,
something felt off.
“Boss Hou, weren't we going to your villa? Why doesn’t this seem like the way to your place?”
Hearing the woman say this, Hou Bo also looked outside, “Huh? Where is this?”
Though Hou Bo was drunk, he wasn’t so intoxicated that he couldn’t recognize his own home.
“What's the situation? Am | too drunk, or are you too drunk? Did you take the wrong road?” Hou Bo shouted
irritably at the driving bodyguard.
But the person in front seemed as if he hadn't heard, not reacting at all, which infuriated Hou Bo.
“I'm talking to you, are you deaf? Or do you not want this month's paycheck?!”
The car pulled over, and the bodyguard took out his phone, “I've brought the person.”
As soon as he said this, Hou Bo was scared sober, his eyes wide with terror as he tried to appear calm and said
to the bodyguard, “Who exactly are you? What are you going to do?”
The bodyguard opened the car door and got out, “Boss Hou, please get out of the car.”
Hou Bo did not want to get out of the car, but he did not dare to disobey.
As soon as Hou Bo got out, he saw a dozen people emerge from a hidden spot, all wearing black masks and
sunglasses.
Being an old hand who had been through the mill for decades, Hou Bo quickly scanned the crowd and identified
Tang Yan as the leader.
“May | ask, were you looking for me?”
“It was my boss,” replied Tang Yan.
“Your boss? Who?”
Before Tang Yan could respond, a black luxury car silently pulled up to the curb.
Tang Yan walked up to the car door, “Boss, what should we do?”
Zhan Qipei rolled down the window and coldly replied with one word, “Beat.”
The icy, bloodthirsty voice reached Hou Bo’s ears, scaring him so much that he turned ashen and sweat beaded
on his forehead.
“Friend, let's talk it over nicely. Could you show your face so we can have a proper chat! | think there must be
smisunderstanding!”
Hou Bo said this as he walked towards the car.
Seeing the car window go up, Tang Yan signaled to the bodyguard with a wave of his hand.
“Move!”
Tang Yan was so frightened that he immediately stopped, watching the bodyguards approaching him while he
instinctively crouched down to cover his head.
“Ah——ow——ah ah ah——"
Each scream was more tragic than the last.
In the desolate countryside, no one heard them.
Back with the Qiao family, upon hearing the news that Hou Bo had been beaten, everyone panicked.
“Dad, do you think Boss Hou would take it personally and then take it out on our family?” Qiao Mengtong asked
worriedly.
Qiao Licheng was distressed, “How many more days until Qiao Jing’s divorce from President Zhan?”

“I had someone check this afternoon, there are still 45 days left.”
“Why is there still so much time?” Qiao Licheng was as frantic as an ant on a hot pan.
Zheng Haijuan said resolutely, “If we really can’t wait, then let’s have someone kidnap Qiao Jing and deliver her
to the Hou family.”
“No!” Qiao Licheng grimaced,

But as soon as he came, the Qiao family, if they had any sense, wouldn't dare to covertly harm Qiao Jing during
this time.
As soon as Zhan Qipei cout of the room, he saw Qiao Jing washing up.
“Shall we go out for a simple breakfast together?”
“Sure.” Qiao Jing didn’t refuse, as her research institute and Zhan Qipei’s company were conveniently on the
way to each other.
Then the two casually found a place for dim sum and ordered sporridge and dumplings.
Sitting at the table next to them were a mother and her young daughter, who looked about four or five years old.
“Mommy, mommy, today is my birthday, and | want a big cake,” the little girl said, pointing at a cake shop
across the street.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing turned to look at the mother and daughter, reminded of the dream she had had the
night before.
Her dream had also been very warm, very warm... with her mother.
Zhan Qipei noticed Qiao Jing’s reaction and turned his head to look at the mother and daughter. After a few
seconds of silence, he stood up.
“Ill step out for a moment, I'll be right back. Wait for me.”
“Oh.” Qiao Jing thought Zhan Qipei was heading to the restroom, but five minutes later, Zhan Qipei returned with
an enormous cake, which he set down in front of her.
