33: 033 Don’t move (Please recomnd!) 33: 033 Don’t move (Please recomnd!) “Hello, your package has now arrived at East Sea University’s Station #18.
Due to excessive inventory pressure, please co to sign for it as soon as possible.”
During his Principles of Marxism class, Jiang Chen received a text ssage.
A courier?
He hadn’t made any online purchases recently, had he?
Nevertheless, he didn’t give it much thought and handed his books to Bai Zheli to carry back to the dormitory after class.
“Chen bro, where are you headed?”
“To pick up a package.”
Jiang Chen left the school gates alone and reached the courier station about two hundred ters away.
After reporting the last digits of his phone number, the staff inford him that there was no package for him.
Could it be that the number was sent to by mistake?
With many people there to pick up packages, Jiang Chen didn’t want to delay their work and quickly left the courier station.
He also didn’t call to complain; after all, couriers have it tough, delivering so many parcels daily—mistakes are inevitable.
He stopped by a convenience store nearby, bought a drink, and was planning on heading back to the school when his phone rang again.
It was the sa number that notified him about the package.
“Hello?”
Jiang Chen answered, puzzled.
There was no response on the other end, just faint breathing and the noisy sound of traffic.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen sensed sothing and looked towards the road.
He saw a striking man step out of a parked black Audi, his wolf-like eyes seemingly locked onto him, holding a phone in his hand.
“Are you Jiang Chen?”
Jiang Chen slowly put down his phone, watching the young man approaching, and nodded.
“Is there sothing you need?”
“I need to have a talk with you.
Let’s find sowhere quiet.”
The other man pocketed his phone.
Apparently.
The previous text ssage had been sent by him.
“Do we know each other?”
Jiang Chen had a bad feeling but didn’t panic.
“We do not.”
The man gave a wry smile.
“Then why should I go with you?”
Jiang Chen asked calmly,
“Because you have no choice.”
The young man suddenly stepped forward, and, unbeknownst to Jiang, a dagger had slipped out of the sleeve of his casual wear.
The sharp tip was pressed against Jiang Chen’s waist; simultaneously, he casually draped an arm over Jiang Chen’s shoulder, making them appear like friends to any onlooker.
“Don’t move; I’ve killed before.”
Listening to the grim laughter near his ear, Jiang Chen’s body involuntarily tensed.
No matter how strong his will had been honed by the sneers and ridicule he had always faced, he was still just a student, unaccustod to such threats.
And Jiang Chen knew this man wasn’t just making threats.
Whether he had killed before was uncertain, but if Jiang acted rashly or scread, the man would most likely not hesitate to stab him.
Glancing at the cold dagger, Jiang Chen realized he had been too careless.
Forget the fact that he hadn’t made any online purchases recently, how could a courier use a private number to contact him?
But by then, regret was pointless.
“What do you want to do?”
“Co with .”
The young man, one hand holding the dagger against Jiang’s waist and the other around his shoulder, coerced Jiang to walk toward the parked black Audi at the side of the road.
“Shu Rui, look, isn’t that…”
Zheng Jingjing, who happened to co out to fetch a package, was surprised and raised her hand to point but then rembered the prohibition her roommate had imposed and promptly swallowed back the taboo na.
Beside her, the belle of the Arts Faculty glanced in the direction to their left, her gaze sweeping past Jiang Chen and falling on the young man who seed too close to Jiang Chen.
From his age and attire, he didn’t look like a student at all.
And moreover,
why did she feel a vague sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him sowhere before?
“Who is that guy?
He shouldn’t be from our school, right?
Why does he look familiar?”
Not coincidentally,
Zheng Jingjing also had the sa feeling.
With a slight frown of her ticulously drawn eyebrows, Li Shuru thought for a mont and finally rembered.
That man, he seed to be a friend of Liang Zhenlun.
Once, while clubbing at a nightclub, they had run into him, and after Liang Zhenlun’s introduction, had even shared a drink.
He seed to have the last na Bai.
She couldn’t recall his exact first na, but she was certain he wasn’t a good person.
Although he was dressed smartly today, Li Shuru vividly rembered his fierce tattooed arm.
What was a friend of Liang Zhenlun doing with Jiang Chen?
As she watched the two head towards the Audi, Li Shuru keenly felt that sothing was off, imdiately associating this with the rumors of Ai Qian and Liang Zhenlun’s breakup, along with the words Ai Qian had previously shared with her…
Obviously,
it was highly likely that this Mr.
Bai was sent by Liang Zhenlun to seek revenge on Jiang Chen.
Considering Liang Zhenlun’s narrow-mindedness as a playboy, it wouldn’t be surprising whatever he did.
Although she guessed as much, Li Shuru wasn’t planning to interfere.
After all, she and Jiang Chen were neither relatives nor friends.
“Let’s go.”
She nudged Zheng Jingjing, who was still pondering where she had seen that man before, and headed towards the courier station.
On the way, Li Shuru cast one last glance in that direction.
Mr.
Bai had already opened the car door and pushed Jiang Chen inside.
“Shu Rui, help hold this.”
Like shopping in a supermarket, girls tend to buy lots online at once, which ans lots of packages.
Zheng Jingjing couldn’t carry them all and wanted Li Shuru’s help, but when she turned around, she realized Li Shuru was gone.
“Where’d she go?”
She was puzzled.
“Following that Audi up ahead.”
Li Shuru was already seated in a taxi.
Although not close with Jiang Chen, he was a fellow university student after all.
If she stood by doing nothing and sothing really happened to him, she would never be able to forgive herself on conscience.
“I’ve got sothing to attend to, will be back soon.”
She sent a text ssage to avoid worrying Zheng Jingjing.
The Audi weaved through traffic, and after about twenty minutes, it stopped in front of an unfinished construction site on East Sea Avenue.
Huge posters hung on the exterior walls, proclaiming them to be the work of Sifang Real Estate Group.
“Don’t bother with the change.”
Seeing the two enter the construction site, Li Shuru threw down a hundred yuan note and quickly got out of the taxi.
“My friend, what may I call you?”
Of course, to say she wasn’t at all nervous at this point would be a lie.
The construction site with buildings underway, steel fras and iron plates everywhere, towering cranes—this was a staple scene right out of a cri movie.
In the movies, after abducting soone, the criminal would generally bring them to a place like this, a hotbed for criminal incidents.
Despite her nerves, Jiang Chen also understood that fear would do no good.
In such situations, it was crucial to stay calm.
“Bai Haoran.”
The other party candidly revealed his na, seemingly confident and unafraid.
In cri movies, criminals typically hide their true identity, never revealing their real nas, as they need to stay hidden.
To be so forthright, could it an he was preparing to…
Jiang Chen’s face stiffened slightly, “Mr.
Bai, it seems we don’t know each other, do we?
I’m not sure what I could have done to offend…”
“East Sea University, isn’t it a top institution?
Such a simple issue, and you can’t figure it out?”
Saying this, Bai Haoran shoved Jiang Chen into a half-constructed building.
Neither of them noticed a sleek shadow stealthily following behind.
