Living With a Temperamental Adonis: 99 Proclamations of Love

The last thought on her mind was rather illogical, then again, so was the whole situation. The pain from a knife being plunged through flesh must be incredibly great.

However, before she could know the answer, darkness swallowed her world. Before she got completely knocked out, she heard the sound of a car coming from afar. It sounded very familiar, like the sound of Su Zhinian’s car, the sound of the engine revving every morning as he left for work.

Has Su Zhinian really arrived or is this my mind tricking me at the last moment of my life?

Song Qingchun tried her best to flip her eyes open to get a closer look, but there seemed to be a thousand tons pressed down on her eyelids. In the end, the darkness caught up to her and dragged her down into the abyss.

...

Even though he had contacted Qin Yinan to go look for Song Qingchun, Su Zhinian was still a worried mess. As he rushed to the private clubhouse that hosted Song Empire’s event, he kept glancing at his phone.

It had been twenty minutes, and there was still no reply from Qin Yinan.

The anxiety that had been troubling Su Zhinian for the past few days started to beset him again. It caused him to have difficulty breathing. He grabbed his phone and gave Qin Yinan a call. The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Su Zhinian hung up to call Song Qingchun instead. When he thought the call going to go into voicemail, the call was answered.

The normally calm Su Zhinian blurted out Song Qingchun’s name out of pure excitement. "Qingchun?"

"It’s me." It was a male voice who answered. "Qin Yinan."

Su Zhinian was confused for a moment before asking, "Why is it you? Where’s Qingchun?"

Qin Yinan on the other end of the phone was silent. Su Zhinian got the answer he needed from that period of silence. His hand that was placed over the steering wheel shook, and his car almost ran into the highway railing. He slammed on the brake and repeated his question. "Where is Qingchun?"

"I’m sorry, I was one step too late; she has been taken." Qin Yinan’s voice was raw. "But she left behind some clues. Based on those clues, I managed to find out it was a yellow Buick minivan that has taken her, and it was heading north; I’m chasing after it now."

Su Zhinian hung up before Qin Yinan could finish his report. With shaking fingers, he sought out Cheng Qingchong’s number and gave his secretary a call. Before she could say anything, he ordered in a hurry, "Contact Doctor Xia and have him prepare an ambulance to follow my car."

Since Song Qingchun had been abducted, it didn’t bode well for her. Therefore, he needed to have a medical unit on standby. Su Zhinian added, "Also blood packs, bring enough blood packs. O type blood."

This was Song Qingchun’s blood type. Su Zhinian believed it was be necessary should anything bad happen to Song Qingchun.

Su Zhinian rattled off his orders, and before Cheng Qingchong could even question what was happening, he ended the call after saying, "In a moment, I will share my GPS location to your phone. Use it to keep track of my location."

After he did as he promised, he called Qin Yinan.

Along the way, Su Zhinian kept a constant channel of communication with Qin Yinan. After he had been driving for two hours, Su Zhinian finally managed to triangulate Qin Yinan’s location from the descriptions given by the other man.

Su Zhinian was worried that something might happen to Song Qingchun. Since they had been giving chase for so long and still hadn’t seen a trace of the minivan, Su Zhinian told Qin Yinan to turn into a shortcut to cut before the group of abductors.
