āDad, what happened?ā Ning Shu asked.
Professor Aiās eyes couldnāt focus. Ning Shu had to shout a couple of times before he came back to his senses.
Professor Aiās face had turned pale. āYour mother has been kidnapped.ā
Ning Shu was stunned. Her mother was kidnapped? How could she be kidnapped? Didnāt she just go to the supermarket?
What about Mrs. Liu? Didnāt they go together? Did they get separated?
āWhat does the kidnapper want?ā Ning Shu asked. Surely the kidnapper didnāt just kidnap someone just for the sake of it.
Were they after money? Or revenge, perhaps?
āLetās call the police first.ā Ning Shu picked up the phone and wanted to call the police.
Professor Ai immediately stopped Ning Shu and shook his head. āDonāt call the police. No matter what happens, donāt call the police!
āThe kidnapper said that if we call the police, he will kill your mother.ā
Professor Aiās mobile phone rang. He quickly took out his mobile phone, opened it, and saw that someone had sent him a video.
In the video, Mother Ai was tied up and sitting on the edge of a tall building. She looked to be on the verge of falling off the building.
Ning Shuās heart beat against her ribcage. If she didnāt fulfill the kidnapperās wish, Mother Ai would fall down the building.
Professor Ai clutched his chest.
Ning Shu stared at the video. Professor Ai said, āDoesnāt this place look kind of familiar?ā
The place where Mother Ai stood was very familiar. In fact, it was a bit like a school buildingā¦
āDad, Mom is on the rooftop of the school building,ā Ning Shu said.
Professor Ai hurried out of the room.
Ning Shu ran behind him. After she thought about it, she decided to call the police. At least, if she called the police, thereād be an air mattress to cushion Mother Ai if she actually fell from upstairs. It might save her life.
Ning Shu followed Professor Ai to the rooftop of the teaching building. Apart from Mother Ai, there was a person who had black stockings pulled over his face.
Ning Shu: ā¦
Did he really think that no one would recognize him just because he wore black stockings on his face?
Professor Ai recognized him immediately. āLi Qiang, what do you want?ā
Li Qiang sneered. āProfessor Ai, you found this place so quickly.
āToday, all I want is to seek justice for myself.ā Li Qiang pointed at Ning Shu. āStay away! One more step and Iāll push her.ā
Ning Shu originally wanted to inch toward them, but Li Qiang had already caught her red-handed.
Ning Shu halted and looked at Mother Ai, who was tied up. Just a nudge could send Mother Ai falling from a height of six floors.
Sheād be falling from higher than ten meters. The chances of survival were slim. freewebnove l.com
āYou must be a student here. What is the unsolvable problem that you have, to make you insist on doing such a thing thatāll destroy your future?ā Ning Shu said.
āYouāre a college student. You have a bright future ahead of you after you graduate, but your impulsiveness will destroy your future. If youāre facing any problem, you can just properly communicate it. Thereās no need for you to do this.ā
Furiously, Li Qiang shouted, āYouāre not me. How can you possibly understand my pain? All this is your fatherās fault! This is all his fault!ā
Despite the black stockings, one could still see the clear anger that twisted Li Qiangās face sinisterly.
Professor Aiās eyes were equally full of anger.
āAs long as you let my wife go, Iāll give you a passing grade on your thesis,ā Professor Ai said with a sullen face.
Li Qiang laughed sinisterly. āThatās it. If I donāt show my strength to you, youād never know how to be afraid. Arenāt you groveling like a dog in front of me now, too?
āIāve rewritten my thesis more than ten times, and every time I hand it to you, you only take one look and immediately reject it. Do you know how much effort Iāve put into my thesis? How dare you treat it like garbage? How dare you reject it over and over again?ā
The more Li Qiang talked, the more excited he became. He seemed delighted at this opportunity to finally vent all the resentment he felt.
Ning Shu stared at Li Qiang. He seemed to have gone a bit over the edge.
Ning Shu then turned to look at Professor Ai, who was rubbing his temple. He helplessly said to Ning Shu, āAll the versions of his thesis are nearly the same, and each revision just gets further away from the prompt. If he had just made the point even slightly, I wouldāve passed him.ā
Ning Shu: ā¦
