In the photo was his wife.

However, his wife, who should have been at home, had her eyes tightly shut. She was bound with ropes and, judging by the background, appeared to be stuffed inside the trunk of a car!

She was still wearing the clothes she had on when she had seen him off in the morning!

Who could have kidnapped Xiao Jun?

Just as the headmaster was feeling anxious and restless, his phone rang.

An unknown number.

Without hesitation, the headmaster answered it.

“Who are you? What grievances do you have with me that you would target my wife? Why did you kidnap her?”

He had no idea whom he might have offended. But Xiao Jun, his wife, was absolutely incapable of making enemies.

She was kind-hearted, friendly, and never engaged in quarrels or conflicts.

So, it had to be because of him!

On the other end of the phone, a sinister man’s voice said, “Are you Yu Xiwen? As you can see, your wife is in our hands. If you want her to stay alive, you’d better do as I say.”

“Please don’t harm my wife. I beg you, don’t hurt my wife!”

Holding the phone, the headmaster pleaded desperately. “I’ll do whatever you want, just please don’t harm her!”

“You bring your student Nan Yan to XXX location tonight. We’ll exchange her for your wife. If she doesn’t come, we’ll take our anger out on your wife.” “Your wife has taken good care of herself. She’s mature, beautiful and quite attractive to men…”

“Don’t say another word!”

The headmaster’s emotions were getting out of control, and he shouted, “If you dare to harm my wife, I won’t let you go!”

“That depends on your performance, Yu Xiwen. You have one day to consider. We’ll be waiting at eight o’clock tonight, and we won’t wait any longer.”

The man finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Concern for his wife had pushed the headmaster to the brink of losing control. He pushed away the chair beside him, grabbed his phone, and rushed toward the door.

Just as he was about to open the door, someone outside pulled it open.

He was in such a hurry that he couldn’t stop in time and collided with the person at the door.

Nan Yan hadn’t expected the headmaster to rush out in such a panicked state as soon as she arrived. If she stepped aside, he might have tumbled down the stairs. So, she shifted slightly, extended her hand, and grabbed him.

Once he regained his balance, she naturally let go of her hand and asked, “Headmaster, what’s got you in such a hurry?”

The headmaster saw Nan Yan and immediately recalled what the kidnapper had said about taking Nan Yan in exchange for his wife. The target was Nan Yan!

He forced himself to remain calm and hide his panic. “Yan Yan… I’m fine.”

There was no way he could use Nan Yan as leverage to save his wife. Even though this situation may have arisen because of Nan Yan, he couldn’t harm an innocent child.

Though she rarely said much, he could feel that she had genuine feelings for him. She regarded him as a guardian figure in her life, and he had come to think of her as a daughter, caring for and protecting her.

She had already endured so much pain and suffering in the past, and he couldn’t betray her trust and drag her into this abyss. He suppressed his emotions and managed a weak smile. “The class meeting is about to start; you should go to your classroom.”

“Are you sure there’s nothing wrong?” Nan Yan looked skeptical. “If there’s anything, you can tell me. Perhaps I can help.”

“Really, there’s nothing wrong. Just go back to your class.”

“Alright.” Nan Yan nodded but added, “Headmaster, I’m not making empty promises. I can help with many things. If you ever have a problem, don’t keep it to yourself; you can talk to me. I really can assist you.”

The headmaster couldn’t help but smile wryly. Despite her excellent academic performance and strong computer skills, she was still just a child. How could she go up against a group of kidnappers?

“I understand. If there’s anything in the future, I’ll come to you.”

“Okay.”

Seeing that the headmaster refused to say more, Nan Yan didn’t press further.

She had originally come to his office but now saw that he had urgent matters

to attend to.

As Nan Yan headed toward her classroom, she noticed the headmaster walking hurriedly in the opposite direction. He was on his way to report the kidnapping to the police.

This was the right course of action when a family member was abducted.

On the way, Nan Yan encountered Jiang Wenqian. It had been a few days since they had seen each other, and Jiang Wenqian seemed like an entirely different person. She had become noticeably thinner and exuded an overwhelming air of gloom.

Jiang Wenqian cast a venomous glare at Nan Yan, her eyes filled with an intense hatred, as if she wanted nothing more than to see Nan Yan suffer a painful death..
