CH 130.1

TN: Content warning attempted sexual assault (not graphic), kidnapping and abduction, violence. I think that’s it which sounds super dark but nothing is graphic (I think?).

When Shen Qingshu woke up again, it was already dark. In front of him was a shabby room with a concrete floor. There was only one bed, a shabby sofa, a wooden table and a glass tea table.

The lamp is very dim, the light bulb is hanging weakly, and it seems as if it will run out of electricity at any time.

Shen Qingshu sat up and felt that his hands and legs were tied.

He glanced at mother Shen, who was beside him. She was still sleeping. Like him, her hands and feet were tied.

Shen Qingyu is really cruel. Before he could drag his own mother to death, now he can kidnap his adoptive mother.

He truly has the heart of a wolf.

He has no doubt that this must have been done by Shen Qingyu. Otherwise, he has not offended other people, let alone forced people to kidnap him. The only option is Shen Qingyu, Han Cheng’s previous guess has come true.

Shen Qingshu  struggled to move his hands. The rope was not too tight, and his hands could move a little. Hr didn’t know whether it was Shen Qingyu’s inexperience as a first time kidnapper, or whether they were in too much of a rush. Therefore, he only valued speed, not quality, and even allowed his hands to have moving room.

Shen Qingshu touched the knot and wanted to distinguish the knot type so that he could untie it. When he was on the production team, he was curious, so he learned this from the teachers of the production team. Unexpectedly, it came in handy.

However, Shen Qingshu tried to undo it twice, and accidentally touched his wrist. He was surprised to find that his watch was gone.

He could not help feeling flustered and hurried to touch his bracelet. Fortunately, the bracelet was still there.

Shen Qingshu continued to settle down to deal with the knot.

He untied the knot for a few seconds. Thankfully he was lucky enough to practise in the production team, so Shen Qingshu quickly determined that he could not untie the knot.

He needs someone to help.

He turned around with difficulty and kicked mother Shen with his bound feet.

Mother Shen was kicked for the third time by him, and finally her eyelids moved and she woke up slowly.

“Wake up.” Shen Qingshu said to her, “Don’t talk. Listen to me.”

Mother Shen stared at him in a daze. It seemed that after a while, she found out her situation and her eyes were filled with fear.

Shen Qingshu watched her open her mouth and was about to cry. He kicked her again and reminded her, “Shut up.”

Mother Shen closed her mouth conditionally and looked at him in fear.

“Get up.” Shen Qingshu said quietly.

He helped mother Shen sit up and glanced at her hands behind her back, tied by ropes.

Fortunately, Shen Qingyu probably has deeper feelings for his adoptive mother, or he doesn’t think she is a threat, so the knot around her wrists is very simple.

Shen Qingshu leaned back against her, touched her wrist, and began to untie the knot quickly according to the instructions of the teacher.

Mother Shen felt his little movements and whispered, “can you untie it?”

“Yes.” Shen Qingshu whispered back.

Mother Shen thought that he was probably comforting her. Her eyes were sour. She said to him, “It’s very difficult, xiao Shu. I know it must be very difficult. Sorry, I didn’t know he was there. I didn’t expect you to encounter such a thing. How could he do such a thing? How dare he?”

“What’s he afraid of?” Shen Qingshu patiently untied the knot while complaining.

Mother Shen whispered, “it’s against the law. How dare he be so bold? I always thought he was just greedy, so he dared to do that kind of thing behind my and your father’s back. Unexpectedly, he dared to do such a thing!”

Shen Qingshu chuckled. “You don’t know your son very well. He can drag his mother to death. How could he dare not kidnap you? You didn’t believe it before? Now you believe it.”

Mother Shen turned to look at him in shock. Shen Qingshu said, “don’t move.”

Mother Shen remembers. At the beginning, Shen Qingshu just came back and had a quarrel with Shen Qingyu. He said that he delayed Guo Hong’s treatment, causing Guo Hong to die in the hospital bed.

Shen Qingyu said no, he didn’t.

At that time, she chose to believe in Shen Qingyu.

She thought it was just that Shen Qingshu could not accept the death of his adoptive mother, so he lost his temper at Shen Qingyu. After all, Shen Qingyu looks so obedient. How could he do such a thing?

Unexpectedly, it was true?

Mother Shen’s tears came down again. “I’m sorry, mother is sorry.”

Shen Qingshu didn’t pay any attention to her. With a strong pull, he untied the knot. “Okay, your hands are free.”

Shen Qingshu urged her, “Now, help me untie mine.”

Mother Shen looked at him in surprise, as if she didn’t expect him to really unlock it. “You…”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Shen Qingshu urged, “help me untie it before your son comes.”

Shen’s mother nodded hurriedly, as if she could finally respond. She flusteredly pushed away the rope around her hands and went to help Shen Qingshu untie the knot on his wrists.

Her hands trembled. Shen Qingshu turned his back to her and stared at the direction of the door. If he guessed correctly, this should be a bedroom of a house with a large living room outside.

The reason why Shen Qingyu is not here now is that he has to leave because of something. The other possibility is that he doesn’t care about mother Shen and himself. Because he thinks they can’t escape.

The reason why he felt that they could not escape was either that he was careless and didn’t expect him to wake up and untie the knot before he came back, or that there were other people outside the door.

Shen Qingshu doesn’t think that Shen Qingyu can really be so careless as to ignore himself and mother Shen, so he guesses that there is someone outside.

After the rope is untied, he can carefully go outside to explore. His bracelet is still there, so he has a certain chance of winning. He can try to break through.

He just doesn’t know when Shen Qingyu will come back.

He hopes he will come back later.

Mother Shen finally untied the knot around Shen Qingshu’s wrists with great effort.

Shen Qingshu was about to break away when he heard something outside the door. He was startled and quickly pulled tight the knot he could untie.

“Tie your hands again.” Shen Qingshu reminded mother Shen.

With that, he fell to the ground, pretending that he was not awake.

Mother Shen is confused. She doesn’t know what’s going on. She was still wondering when the door opened and Shen Qingyu came in.

“You’re awake.” He looked at Mrs. Shen, who had already sat up, with a smile that Mrs. Shen could not understand. “Mum, are you hungry? Let’s go out for dinner.”

He said this and came over.

Mother Shen said fearfully, “don’t come here.”

She could not help retreating.

Shen Qingyu looked at her movements and felt cold. He said, “Mum, why do you say that? Don’t be afraid. I was afraid that you would shout at that time. That’s why I knocked you out. I’ll untie you now and take you out.”

“Have you finished yet?” A voice came from the door. “Shen, you said you had something fun for us. Is it this woman?”

Then, Shen Qingshu heard a whistle. “Not bad, but she’s a little older.”

Mother Shen’s face turned white, and she looked at Shen Qingyu in horror. “What are you planning?”

“Nothing.” Shen Qingyu said with a smile, “Mum, it’s okay. I’ll take you out for dinner. Let’s go have dinner.”

He walked to mother Shen.

Mother Shen shook her head desperately and moved closer to Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu heard other footsteps entering the room. At least three people, he thought that if he suddenly challenged Shen Qingyu at this time, the other people would certainly be on guard, and he might not be able to rush out.

Moreover, he doesn’t know how many people there are on Shen Qingyu’s side. Now only three of them have spoken, but perhaps there are more who kept silent?

So he can’t be impulsive.

Shen Qingyu approached mother Shen and went around her to help her release the rope. Mother Shen held the rope in her hand, and her whole person trembled.

She didn’t know where her courage came from. She suddenly threw the rope in her hand into Shen Qingyu’s face and stood up. However, she found that her feet were still tied.

Shen Qingyu found that the rope on her hand had been untied. He looked at his adoptive mother doubtfully.

“You tied it loosely, I could break it by myself.” Mother Shen explained.

Shen Qingyu was half convinced and hurried to investigate Shen Qingshu. Shen’s mother was afraid that he might find that Shen Qingshu’s binding was also undone and quickly shouted to him, “Xiao Yu.”

Shen Qingyu looks back at her.

Mother Shen said weakly, “my feet hurt. Could you help me untie the rope on my feet?”

“Okay, wait a minute.” As he spoke, he looked at Shen Qingshu’s wrists again.

Mother Shen immediately called out his name again. “What are you doing? At my age, can I still be tossed by you like this? When you were a child, I didn’t even hit you once. Now, you actually tied me up.”

Shen Qingyu thought of his childhood. It was really a rare warm time. At that time, mother Shen was really kind to him.

Very gentle and loving, like the best mother in the world.

Even his father was very kind to him at that time.

But why did everything change when he grew up?

Mother Shen is still calling his name to urge him. Shen Qingyu hurriedly glanced at Shen Qingshu’s wrists and saw that the knot is still there, so he doesn’t care any more

The light was too dim, and he was too hurried when tying the knot. He could not remember what kind of method he had used. Coupled with Mother Shen’s urging, he didn’t have time to think so much. He just glanced at him and saw that he was still tied and was relieved.

In fact, Shen Qingyu didn’t take Shen Qingshu seriously.

He went to mother Shen and bent his head to untie the rope from her ankle.

Shen’s mother was a little relieved, but as soon as she calmed down, she saw a man walking in behind Shen Qingyu. “There are two of them. Which one is the fun you prepared for us?”

“The male.” Shen Qingyu whispered, “he’s a big star.”

“Sleeping trough! You dare to kidnap a celebrity? You’re awesome!” 1 

Shen Qingyu laughed to himself, “I’m dying. Do I still care about this?”

He helped mother Shen untie the rope and turned to Shen Qingshu again.

He looked at Shen Qing’s beautiful side face, pinched his chin, and patted his face. “Wake up.”

Mother Shen looked at Shen Qingshu in distress, walked to Shen Qingyu’s side, and advised him, “Xiao Yu, you can’t do this. He is your gege.”

“I have no ge!” Shen Qingyu angrily said, “I never had a ge! What is he? Why should he be my ge?”

“Let him go,” said mother Shen, pulling his arm. “Just take it as your mother begging you. He’s your gege. You can’t do this to him.”

Shen Qingyu looked at her in disbelief. “Do you like him too? Why do you like him too? Mum, we have been together for more than 20 years. You should like me, shouldn’t you?”

“Have you two talked enough? Shen Qingyu, if you want to have a deep conversation between mother and son, you can go out. Don’t disturb your friends’ pleasure. Your friends are not here to listen to your nostalgia.”

Shen Qingyu wants to wake up Shen Qingshu after listening to his words. However, as soon as he looks down, he sees Shen Qingshu looking at him in surprise and fear.

——He is awake.

Shen Qingshu never thought that it would be such a scene when he sees Shen Qingyu again.

Shen Qingyu has changed too much. He has lost a lot of weight. He looks very decadent with his messy hair and waxy face. What’s more, he looked like a green tea boy when he first met him. Now he looks like the most common gangster found downtown.

Shen Qingshu has no pity on him. He just turns his mind quickly to think of ways to deal with it and save himself.

He doesn’t know if there is anyone else in the room outside? How many people are there? Therefore, he can not use force to win and can only outsmart them.

Shen Qingyu looked at his frightened eyes and felt happy. “What, are you awake? What expression is that? Are you scared? “

Shen Qingshu straightened up and pushed himself to sit up. He moved back two steps silently and asked him tremblingly, “what are you doing?”

“What am I doing?” Shen Qingyu smiled. “Aren’t you popular? Well, wouldn’t it be better if more people liked you?”
