It's hard to be a mother after rebirth

Chapter 163 What The Kidnapper Wants

Qiao Jingyao's situation was very bad. Even Lin Shu overestimated Qiao Jingyao's ability to bear it.

Ever since she was locked up, Qiao Jingyao's whole body was empty, and the illusion that the space was distorted made her feel sick even to eat.

She couldn't hear the voices, couldn't see the people who came in, and she even felt that she was dying.

Qiao Zhizhong came to see her, she knew, but she was too uncomfortable to speak, so she could only yell.

"No one came to save you. Look, you are so pitiful." Qiao Zhizhong stood at the door, threw a can of hot milk back and forth, put it on the ground after a while, and kicked it to Qiao Jingyao's side.

Qiao Jingyao remained unresponsive as always, her eyes were blank, and she curled up in a corner, as if trying to merge with the shadows.

Qiao Zhizhong sighed: "You know, I also feel very pitiful for you like this. I feel distressed when I look at it. Tell me, will your father feel distressed?"

Qiao Zhizhong paused, took out his camera, and flashed a flash of light at the people in the corner.

Every time it flashed, Qiao Jingyao's body trembled, fearfully avoiding the glare of the light, without saying a word.

Feeling that it was almost done, Qiao Zhizhong reluctantly left the basement, printed out those photos in the manager's office, and packed them in envelopes.

He looked at the picture on the computer, and it was different from the girlish-looking Qiao Jingyao that Qiao Zhibai showed him. This is a mature woman, but under the appearance of a mature woman, there is a childish heart, belonging to The heart of the daughter of the chairman of Trader Joe's Enterprises.

Qiao Zhizhong deleted the photo without leaving any room, then took the phone and started making calls.

As soon as the connection was made, Qiao Zhizhong's whole state changed, and he spoke eagerly, even a little incoherently: "Brother, that, Jing Yao, brother, I received some photos, Jing Yao seems to have been arrested! "

Qiao Zhibai was in a meeting at the company. If he hadn't seen that the call was from his younger brother, he wouldn't have answered it at all, but what he heard when he answered it was such a shocking news.

He gestured to the secretary and told everyone in the meeting to leave.

"What are you talking about, please explain clearly." Qiao Zhibai asked calmly.

Qiao Zhizhong stammered anxiously: "That's right, I just received some photos about Jing Yao, the black lights are out of control, yes, it should be her! Brother, where are you, I'm going to your house now, let's meet and talk about it! "

After Qiao Zhizhong finished speaking, he hung up the phone and turned off the phone.

Father Qiao just wanted to ask more questions when he heard the disconnection, and when he called again, the phone was already turned off.

"Chairman Joe? Will the meeting continue?" the secretary asked from the side.

Father Qiao thought for a while and got up: "The meeting is delayed, and the arrangements for the afternoon will be canceled first."

What the second brother said was so urgent, Qiao's father didn't dare to delay, and directly asked the driver to take him home.

After arriving home, Qiao Zhizhong hadn't arrived yet. When Mrs. Qiao saw her husband coming back from work, she couldn't help being curious: "Why did you come back, did you forget something?"

"No." Father Qiao stood in the living room thinking for a while, and vaccinated his wife. "Someone will come to the house later. Look, do you want to go upstairs to have a rest, or go shopping?"

Mrs. Qiao didn't understand for a moment, and asked, "Is it a guest? I'll ask someone to prepare something for you to talk about things."

"It's not a guest." Qiao's father said, "It's... the second."

Mrs. Qiao was slightly taken aback, and then shouted: "Qiao Zhizhong? Why did he come!"

Before Father Qiao had time to explain, there was a knock on the door.

Aunt Wang went to open the door, and Qiao Zhizhong rushed in, yelling, "Brother, this is what you see!"

The moment Mrs. Qiao saw Qiao Zhizhong, the blood in her whole body seemed to freeze, and the unbearable incident before the New Year came back to her mind like a movie.

"Get out, you are not welcome here, get out!" Mrs. Qiao mustered up her courage and issued an order to evict the guest before her husband could speak.

Only then did Qiao Zhizhong notice that his elder brother was not the only one in the living room, and his eyes flickered at the woman who was rude to him. She was elegant, noble, and a person in her forties was no longer what she used to be, but she was still so gentle. heartbeat.

"Xiaojie, Zhizhong has something to talk to me about today, don't be so angry, go upstairs and have a rest, okay, I'll explain to you later." Father Qiao comforted his wife.

"What do you want to talk to him about, why do you need to come to our house!" Mrs. Qiao asked her husband dissatisfiedly, "How can you let him come to our house?"

"That, sister-in-law." Qiao Zhizhong rubbed his nose, his eyes no longer had the appreciation and joy when he first saw each other, but he said a little embarrassedly, "I apologize to you for what happened to me back then, but it's really a shame to come to see my brother today. If there is something urgent, I will personally apologize to you in the future, and I can do a hara-kiri apology."

"Don't be like this, I know you're uncomfortable, I'll leave after talking to him, don't be so excited." Seeing that the second brother was so humble, Qiao's father could only continue to comfort his wife, "It's okay, let's not think about those things okay."

Mrs. Qiao asked: "What's the matter? What is the need for him to come to our house, and what is the need to avoid me?"

Qiao's father didn't speak, and even gave Qiao Zhizhong a wink to tell him not to say anything.

Qiao Zhizhong misunderstood, and took advantage of the situation and said: "No, it's our daughter, oh no, it's about you and your eldest brother's daughter."

If the matter between her and Qiao Zhizhong is over, as long as she doesn't deliberately mention it, she can pretend it never happened, then Qiao Jingyao's existence becomes an iron-clad fact, evidence that no one can overturn.

Mrs. Qiao stared at her husband with wide eyes: "Are you really still looking for her? Why do you still look for her if you said you didn't look for her? You think my stain is not big enough, do you?"

"I don't mean that!" Father Qiao replied decisively, but also quite helplessly, "You are obedient, let me talk to Zhizhong, please."

The doorbell rang at the gate, and the servant looked at the TV video at the gate and said, "Mister and Madam, it's Ms. Lin Shulin who is outside the door."

Father Qiao frowned: "Let her in."

He glanced at Qiao Zhizhong again, Lin Shu rarely came to their house after Qiao Jingyao disappeared, and the last phone call was not very pleasant.

As soon as Lin Shu came in, he found that the atmosphere in the living room was not very harmonious, and Qiao Zhizhong acted like a foreigner, which made Lin Shu stunned.

But soon she came back to her senses, and greeted Qiao and his wife with a smile: "Uncle Qiao, Aunt Qiao, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time."

With the presence of outsiders, Mrs. Qiao's anger finally subsided a little, and she greeted Lin Shu with a slight nod, and the sofa sitting beside her refused to leave or speak.

Qiao's father smiled and said, "Be polite to us, sit down and talk." Along the way, he let Qiao Zhizhong stay.

Qiao Zhizhong glanced at Lin Shu, put the envelope on the coffee table, and said nothing.

"Uncle Qiao, I'm actually looking for you today. I went to the company, but they said you're back, so I rushed here." Lin Shu glanced at the people who stayed in the living room, and said, "I don't know if I can I can't go to the study with you to talk."

Mrs. Qiao didn't speak or refuse. She always maintained a good manner in front of outsiders.

"Okay, come with me." Father Qiao didn't want to make things too rigid, and since Madam didn't object to this, he could only thank Lin Shu for coming at the right time, "Zhi Zhong, you're coming with me too." Come to the study."

"Oh." Qiao Zhizhong got up and followed them for a few steps, then remembered the envelope on the coffee table, turned around and went to get the envelope again.

When walking upstairs again, Qiao Zhizhong looked at Mrs. Qiao with his head tilted, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and there was a sense of certainty in his eyes.

Mrs. Qiao seemed to be aware of it, and turned her head to look over, just in time to meet Qiao Zhizhong's meaningful eyes. She avoided the other's eyes in horror, and her body trembled.

With such eyes and such a smile, Mrs. Qiao's fear was blocked in her throat and she was unable to speak.

Qiao Zhizhong changed his appearance in just that second, and followed his brother up the stairs honestly.

After closing the door, Father Qiao took the lead and said, "Come on, the two of you showed up because of Jing Yao's affairs."

Lin Shu was not surprised how Father Qiao knew, nodded and said, "Yes, because Jing Yao is missing."

Father Qiao was taken aback.

"It's not missing, it should be kidnapped." Qiao Zhizhong took out the photo from the envelope, "Look, I received it this morning."

There were more than a dozen photos, and the light in each of them was not very bright, but they all clearly captured the face of the woman curled up in the corner.

Lin Shu was angry, how could Li Shaoling lock Qiao Jingyao in this kind of place, this kind of place can only aggravate her condition!
Qiao's father was obviously very aware of Qiao Jingyao's situation, and he was shocked after seeing the photo: "Who the hell is she? She's still a child, how could she hit her so hard!"

Qiao Zhizhong asked blankly: "What's the matter? Looking at the photos, she should not have been abused."

Lin Shu had already guessed Qiao Zhizhong's identity, and said immediately, "Jing Yao was imprisoned in the little black house when she was a child, and she was quite afraid of such an environment. Being locked up here scares her more than ill-treating her."

Qiao Zhizhong frowned slightly: "How can these people be so cruel, brother, who have you offended?"

Qiao Jingyao's father was concerned, but Qiao Jingyao's fear could be seen from the photos alone. He was heartbroken: "Who can I offend? Kidnapping again and again. I don't even know what those kidnappers want to do!"

Lin Shu said: "No, these kidnappers know Jing Yao's identity very well. Don't forget that Jing Yao's current appearance and age have nothing to do with the original Jing Yao. How did the kidnappers know? Also, why did the kidnappers take Send the photo to Second Young Master Qiao, not you, Uncle Qiao?"

That's right, Lin Shu had doubts about the sudden appearance of Qiao Ershao, which was the same as the sudden appearance of Li Shaoling.

Besides, she knew very well that the person who did this must be Li Shaoling, so what about his accomplice?
Maybe it's Qiao Zhizhong!
Qiao Zhizhong shook his head blankly: "I don't know. When I woke up in the morning, the woman who was leaving found this at the door. I opened it and was shocked."

Qiao's father obviously did not suspect Qiao Zhizhong, but Lin Shu's words reminded him.

　Flesh and blood, brotherhood, friendship, how to choose
