My Wife, The Ice Queen President

He immediately panicked.

This was the provincial capital, not Jiangnan.

If he were in Jiangnan City, he could find Luo Weiwei and have her pull up highway surveillance footage to track them, but here, he didn’t know anyone.

Even if he could find someone, he feared by the time he located Tang Ning, she might be tortured beyond recognition.

Ye Xiong went back to the late-night food stall and directly approached the owner, demanding, “That long-haired punk who was just here, who is he? Where does he live?”

The owner, a burly man in his thirties, seemed too afraid to offend the punk and shook his head, “I don’t know him.”

“Who is he?”

Ye Xiong roared, slamming his hand down hard on a table nearby.

The sheer force caused the entire table to collapse.

The owner’s face turned pale from fright.

Ye Xiong glared at him fiercely, saying, “If you don’t talk, you believe I’ll burn this place to the ground with one match?”

That punk must be well-known around here; Ye Xiong didn’t believe the owner didn’t know his name.

“I told you everything I know, all right?”

The owner was all shades of pale, hastily saying, “All I know is that his name is Zhang Yingjun, people call him Brother Jun. He hangs around this area often. As for where he lives, I really have no clue.”

“What’s his phone number?” Ye Xiong asked.

“I don’t know…”

“They had such a prime spot for late-night snacks, it must’ve been reserved in advance. You’re telling me you don’t have his number? You think I’d believe that?”

“I really don’t have his cell number; his guys usually make the reservation.”

“What’s the name of that guy, and give me his phone number,” Ye Xiong commanded.

“He goes by the nickname ‘Ash Machine.\'”

Shaking, the owner took out his phone and reported a number.

Ye Xiong took a deep breath to suppress the rage burning inside him and dialed the number.

“Hello, is this Ash Machine?”

“This is he. Who’s this?”

“Is Brother Yingjun there? Some jerk messed with my wife, and I want to get back at him, bad. Money’s no issue,” Ye Xiong feigned a laugh.

Yang Xinyi standing by turned somber.

Couldn’t he come up with some other excuse?

To say his wife had been messed with, how uncomfortable that sounded.

“So you got cuckolded, huh, brother. Alright, come to San Dong Hospital, Brother Yingjun is here,” Ash Machine replied, quickly seizing the business opportunity and revealing their location.

“Thanks, Ash Machine. I’ll be right there.”

Ye Xiong hung up and asked the owner of the stall, “Where is San Dong Hospital?”

“Turn left up ahead, walk for two hundred meters and you’ll be there,” replied the owner.

“Xinyi, take Yangyang and find a hotel to settle down in. I’m going to save Tang Ning,” Ye Xiong instructed.

“You must bring her back safe and sound, or I won’t know how to explain it to the little aunt,” Yang Xinyi was very anxious, her voice trembling: “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have yelled at her, otherwise she wouldn’t have run to the roadside.”

“Now’s not the time to assign blame, I’m off. Be careful,” said Ye Xiong.

Having said that, he ran towards the direction of the hospital.

Although he felt that the people who had just kidnapped Tang Ning were very likely not Zhang Yingjun’s men,

Zhang Yingjun had been mingling in this area for a long time and should be very familiar with the people here. He definitely knew something.

On the street, inside a van.

There were three people inside the vehicle, besides the two who had kidnapped Tang Ning, there was one more driving.

The two men who had kidnapped Tang Ning were in their thirties, one with a face full of flesh, broad and long, looking like a hippopotamus.

The other was tall and skinny, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, looking like a rat.

The appearance of the two was indescribably disgusting.

“Big brother, how about it, she’s a nice catch, right?” the man who looked like a rat wiped the drool from his mouth.

“Not bad, she’s like those girls from the Island Country.” The hippo man stared intently at the half-exposed voluptuous chest of Tang Ning and swallowed a gulp of saliva, “What on earth did this girl eat to grow up? Could they be fake?”

“Whether they’re fake or not, we’ll know once we feel them.” The rat said with a sleazy laugh.

“Who exactly are you guys, and why are you kidnapping me? Let me tell you, my cousin-in-law is very powerful. If you’re smart, you’d let me go. Otherwise, when he finds you, he won’t let you off.”

Tang Ning’s face turned pale with fright as she desperately hugged her chest to prevent the men from touching her.

“No matter how formidable he is, this is the provincial capital. We three brothers don’t usually hang around here. Once we have our way with you, we’ll make our escape. What can he do to us?” The hippo chuckled.

“It’s been over a month since we had meat, and after casing the joint for so long, we finally found someone decent.”

“Just look at this chick’s body, doing it must feel so good.”

“The three of us brothers are in for a treat tonight.”

Hearing the vile words spewing from their mouths, Tang Ning turned even paler.

Why was she so unlucky to encounter rapists? From their tone, it seemed like they specialize in this, and it wasn’t their first time.

Just the thought of being violated by such disgusting men made her want to smash her head and die.

“Help… Help me!” Tang Ning yelled at the top of her lungs.

A cloth covered her mouth.

After smelling a pungent odor, Tang Ning quickly fell unconscious.

“Third brother, drive back to the rental house, so we brothers can enjoy ourselves properly.”

“Right on.”

The third brother floored the accelerator, and the van roared away.

San Dong Hospital.

Ye Xiong ran to the hospital and immediately spotted the long-haired hooligan playing with his phone in the lobby, Zhang Yingjun. His other hooligan friends were not present, probably gone for bandaging.

Ye Xiong walked over, grabbed Zhang Yingjun from his seat, and roared, “Zhang Yingjun, where did you take my cousin?”

Zhang Yingjun’s face turned white with fright, and with a pained expression, he said, “Big brother, could there be some misunderstanding? When I left, wasn’t your cousin fine?”

“You must be upset because my actions injured your men. You probably found someone else to take her away.” Ye Xiong pressed angrily.

“I swear on my life, I really didn’t.”

Zhang Yingjun, with his neck caught, struggled to breathe and frantically said, “If I had really kidnapped your cousin, would I be foolishly waiting here for you to catch me? I’d definitely have found a place to hide.”

“The two men who kidnapped my cousin, one with a horse face, short in stature; the other tall and skinny, with a face like that of a rat. Do you remember them?” Ye Xiong threw him to the ground and asked.

“They should not be locals. If they were hanging around near the airport and with such distinctive features, I, Zhang Yingjun, would definitely remember them. They are very likely out-of-towners.” Zhang Yingjun analyzed.

Ye Xiong’s biggest fear was exactly this. If they had encountered itinerant criminals from out of town, without any fixed lair, it would be extremely difficult to track them down. The chances of Tang Ning being in their hands were more likely dire than not.

Violations aside, what he dreaded most was they might kill her to erase evidence after the fact.

This young woman must have attracted too much attention at the late-night food stalls and got targeted.
