Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 552 Who Kidnapped Lin Qingping?

After scanning the surroundings, Gu Juncheng noticed new marks on the wooden window frame where the rope had been used to tighten it. Looking outside, he saw a broken piece of rope on the ground.

He made a quick decision, saying to his fellow patients as he ran, "Please call the nurses and paramedics!"

As he spoke, he ran into the corridor and headed towards the ward. As he passed the ward, he shouted, "Zhiyuan!" and "Call the police station! Take Zhangzhu home!"

Zhiyuan and his second sister were both confused by the loud shout. What had happened?

However, they only caught a glimpse of Gu Juncheng's figure flash by.

Zhiyuan instantly realized that something must have happened to Lin Qingping!

Upon closer inspection, he saw several patients' family members running over with Gu Juncheng, shouting for nurses to save lives as they ran. This further solidified his resolve.

When he looked again, he realized that the person he needed to save was the caregiver, and Lin Qingping was nowhere to be found. He panicked, but he did not forget the most important things—Gu Juncheng had told him to report to the police station and to take his sister home.

When Gu Juncheng ran out, everyone waiting outside the inpatient department saw him, but Gu Juncheng didn't have time to explain to them. He just left behind the words, "Lin Qingping is missing. Take Zhangzhu home," and then ran away like an arrow.

With Wu Tianjiao involved, everything else is going smoothly, but where did Lin Qingping go? And who did this?

Lin Qingping has been tied to a car.

Having just been discharged from the hospital after surgery, she was powerless to fight back or escape. With a cloth strip around her mouth, she couldn't even speak.

She simply stopped struggling and calling for help, relying only on herself, closing her eyes, conserving her already weak strength, and using all her energy to survive.

"Mother, she hasn't said a word. Could she be dead?" It was the voice of her beloved younger brother, Lin Jiagui, which she hadn't heard in a long time.

That's right, the people who kidnapped her were her younger brother and a group of unknown people, and her dear mother was also involved, perhaps even the mastermind.

Her mother glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, she won't die. Look, she's still breathing!"

After saying that, he snorted again, "This girl is really lucky. I heard she had an incurable disease, but it seems she's cured!"

So, her mother wanted her to die?

“Mother, didn’t you say that if my sister died, her money would be ours?” Lin Jiagui said regretfully from the side.

Lin Qingping knew that the mother and son were heartless; otherwise, she wouldn't have died at their hands in her previous life. Although it was her nephew who did it, without the mother and son's teachings, would her nephew have done such a beastly thing? However, she never expected that, even after being reborn, she would still fall into the hands of her brother and mother because of money. Whether she could save her life, she really couldn't say now.

Her mother said, "Alright, isn't she cured now? She's still your sister after all."

Lin Qingping was surprised. Could it be that her mother had taken pity on her?

"Then...what should we do?" Lin Jiagui asked anxiously.

"What do you mean, what to do? We've already brought them here tied up, haven't we?" Lin Qingping's mother sighed and said to Lin Qingping, "Pingzi, I know you're awake. You don't want to talk to us. You're rich now and look down on us country folk. But you came from my womb, and I'm your mother. That's an unchangeable fact."

This is a devastating fact.

That's right, she died at their hands in her previous life, but in her reincarnation she was still their daughter. She escaped to the ends of the earth, but was found by her mother in the name of mother and daughter.

"Pingzi, don't worry, you are my daughter, I am your mother, I will never harm you."

Lin Qingping only heard these words; who would believe them?

"But, Pingzi, your family is facing difficulties now. We're a family, right? When you were little, your family was poor. Your brother would save a roasted sweet potato for you, do you remember?"

Lin Qingping remembered, how could she not remember? Why did her brother give her a roasted sweet potato that day? It was because her mother secretly hid a bowl of meat for her brother to eat until he was stuffed, and Lin Qingping happened to see it. To shut her up, her mother gave her a sweet potato.

So, now you need to use this sweet potato to exchange for money with her?

Actually, she knew even if her mother didn't say it.

In her past life, her brother had countless gambling debts, and she was always the one covering his debts. In this life, she didn't believe her brother could change. The fact that he could come to the capital to kidnap her and demand money meant that the debt was probably already enormous.

Seeing that she didn't speak, her mother continued, "We're short of money at home right now. Your sister-in-law thinks we're too poor and wants to leave with the children. We couldn't make ends meet, so we came to you. Now that you're doing well, your father and I raised you. You should repay the kindness of giving birth to you and raising you, shouldn't you? Without us, where would you be? Where would you get the good life you have today?"

These were the words her mother always said in her past life, fearing that she would neglect her brother and her once she made money. She used these words to control her. Back then, she was foolish and actually believed her mother's words. Without her mother and father, where would she be in this world?

She listened quietly, then replied to her mother, "I have no money. You've already searched the place; I don't have a single penny."

Her mother laughed, "Who carries so much money around? Don't you all have bankbooks now? They're at home, right? We've already sent a message to your family. When Gu Juncheng withdraws the money and hands it over to us, your mother will naturally let you go home."

Lin Qingping slightly opened her eyes and looked at her mother.

She hadn't seen her mother for several years, and she had aged a lot.

His hair was mostly white, his face was dark and rough with wrinkles, and his eyelids drooped down, making him look old and mean.

Keep in mind, her mother was only fifty years old.

At this time in her previous life, her mother was very fortunate. She was well-fed and plump, and had nothing to do all day except think of ways to spend money and play mahjong with the neighbors.

If they had been even slightly kinder to her in her past life, even if it was just leaving her with something to remember her by and some dignity at the end of her life, she might still have softened her heart in this life.

However, perhaps, in that case, she wouldn't have been reborn.

All I can say is that everything in this world has its own destiny.

"Do you know that this is kidnapping? It's illegal?" Lin Qingping asked her mother softly.

Her mother pursed her lips. "How is that breaking the law? I missed my daughter and wanted to invite her to talk. Is that breaking the law?"

Fine.

Lin Qingping was too lazy to talk to her anymore; she decided to save her energy.

Since the message had to be delivered to her house, she wasn't in a hurry. There were probably a lot of people at her house right now, and none of them would stand idly by. She couldn't escape in her current body, so she decided to conserve her strength and live a few more minutes while waiting for someone to rescue her.

Seeing that she didn't speak, her mother was pleased. "That's right, Pingzi. We're family! Your brother is your real support. In the future, if anyone from the Gu family bullies you, only your brother can stand up for you."

Her brother chimed in, "That's right, sis. Look at you, surrounded by outsiders, and you only had a daughter. In the future, all the money you worked so hard to earn will go to other people."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingping's mother slapped her thigh, "That's right, Pingzi, look at you! Your daughter will get married sooner or later. Zhiyuan isn't even related to you. Do you really want him to benefit the Gu family? Let me tell you, your brother had a son, your nephew..."
