Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 40 Someone is setting a trap to catch her

There were no pedestrians on the street and Shen Nankui had nowhere to turn to. She followed the beggar from a distance and walked around several streets and alleys.

The person suddenly disappeared!

There were two alleys in front of him, one on the left and one on the right, and there was no one in sight. Shen Nankui didn't know which way to chase.

She was extremely anxious, and after running all the way, sweat from her forehead was dripping down her cheeks.

Just at this moment, she suddenly heard the faint cry of a child. She stopped at the entrances of the two alleys for a while. The sound from the alley on the right was clearer. She guessed that the beggar must have taken Aqiao in this direction.

Shen Nankui made up his mind. He picked up a wooden stick from the alley and hurriedly chased in.

She hurried into the alley, but it turned out to be a dead end. From a distance, she saw Aqiao squatting in the corner crying, but the beggar was not beside her.

Is this beggar just playing a trick on them?

Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Nankui gradually felt relieved. Perhaps the beggar just had mental problems but had no ill intentions.

She dropped the stick, walked quickly towards Aqiao, and coaxed her softly, "Don't be afraid, Aqiao, your aunt will take you home!"

When Aqiao heard her voice, she stopped crying immediately and ran towards her, wiping her tears.

Suddenly, Aqiao's eyes widened.

She pointed behind Shen Nankui and shouted, "Auntie!"

Shen Nankui suddenly turned around and saw that in the alley behind her, a wooden door on the left side suddenly opened, and two masked men rushed towards her.

She tried to hide, but it was too late.

One of them stuffed a rag into her mouth while the other tied her up with a rope. In no time, she was put into a sack and carried away.

She struggled desperately, but it was of no use, her strength seemed insignificant in front of the two strong men.

Aqiao was really scared this time!

She burst into tears and ran over to hug one of them's legs, preventing them from leaving.

"Bad guy, let my aunt go!"

She was obviously terribly scared, but she didn't know where she got the courage from. She held on to the man's legs tightly and refused to let go. She was actually dragged on the ground for a few steps.

"Annoying little thing."

Shen Nankui was put into a sack. She didn't know what method the man used. She only heard a bang, followed by Aqiao's screams and cries of pain.

They actually attacked the children!

Shen Nankui's eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to speak but couldn't, and he wanted to move but couldn't. He could only struggle hard to show his dissatisfaction, hoping that they would not hurt Aqiao.

Fortunately, the two men did not get too entangled. Their target seemed to be only herself. After getting rid of Aqiao, they took her away.

Aqiao's crying became farther and farther away, but Shen Nankui gradually calmed down.

It seems that someone set up a trap to catch her today.

who can that be?

She had no idea what to do, but she also knew that there was no chance of escape for her, so she simply conserved her strength and stopped struggling or shouting.

Now that it has fallen into the hands of others, let's just wait and see how it develops.

She didn't know how long it had been before she felt herself being thrown into a carriage. After traveling for more than half an hour, it seemed that they had arrived at the destination, and she was pulled out of the carriage again.

Shen Nankui was escorted through many twists and turns until he finally entered a room, and then those people left.

She stayed quiet, observing her surroundings as best she could.

Through the gaps in the sacks, one could vaguely see the wooden floor underfoot. There was also the smell of incense in the room. Although it was summer, it was not as hot here as in Gu's house. The wind outside was empty and there was an echo when it blew past. I guess this place must be close to the mountains and the water.

Such a style makes it look like the villa of some wealthy family.

But she had only been married to the Gu family for a few months. When had she offended such a person?

-

On the other side, A Yuan ran back home to report the news.

Everyone thought Aqiao was kidnapped and was shocked. Gu Yichuang was worried that something might happen to Aqiao and Shen Nankui, so he told Liang to go to the clan to gather people, while he went ahead and hurried to the town.

After asking every household in the town for a long time, I finally found out that someone had seen them going.

Gu Yichuan searched all the way, searching through several alleys, before he found Aqiao slumped on the ground in a dead end.

Not seeing Shen Nankui, he felt inexplicably flustered and hurried over to pick up Aqiao.

"Aqiao, my uncle is here. What's wrong with you? Where's your aunt?"

Ah Qiao cried until her tears dried up. When she saw him coming, she hugged his neck with both hands in grievance and cried, "Ah Qiao's legs hurt and I can't walk. My aunt has been kidnapped by bad guys. Uncle, please go and rescue her..."

Gu Yichuan only heard that she was kidnapped.

His heart suddenly felt as if it was grabbed by someone, and he froze in place, with a surge of regret in his heart.

Blame him!

If he came to pick her up today, would this not have happened?

But he had no time to regret.

Her whereabouts are unknown, and her safety is unknown. She doesn't know how scared she is at the moment. He has to find her quickly!

Time was running out, so Gu Yichuan picked up Aqiao and ran back. On the way, he met Liang and the head of the village who were rushing over with their men. He told them what had happened briefly and asked the head of the village to send someone to report to the county town and then send someone to help him find Shen Nankui.

When the village head learned that the criminals were targeting Shen Nankui, he took it more seriously and immediately sent someone to report to the police. He also led everyone to follow Gu Yichuan to find the person.

After all, Shen Nankui was the teacher he had found for his private school. Under her teaching over the past few days, the students had made significant progress. From the elders and fellow villagers to the students, everyone praised her and was convinced.

He couldn't let anything happen to her!

-

Shen Nankui stayed in the room for an unknown period of time. He only felt that the sound of cicadas outside gradually weakened and the light became dimmer. It should be getting dark soon.

Suddenly, the door opened and someone came in.

The next moment, the sack on Shen Nankui was taken away, and she could see the situation clearly.

It was evening outside and there were candles lit in the room, so the light was not dim.

The person in front of him was a man, about thirty years old, with a white face, a slight beard, and rich clothes. At this moment, he was staring at him with a look of amazement.

"I didn't know there was such a beauty in Lai'an Town?"

His eyes were full of greed. "My goodness, how come such a delicate peony like you can be found in this small rural place?"

Shen Nankui just stared at him quietly.

She didn't know this person.

The man was even more curious when he saw that Shen Nankui had no reaction to him and there was not even a trace of fear in his eyes.

He took the rag from Shen Nankui's mouth and threw it to the ground.

"How can you be so rude to a beautiful woman?"

Shen Nankui took a while to adjust, and her numb mouth finally regained consciousness. She looked at him.

"Who are you and why are you arresting me?"

The man chuckled, "My name, my beauty, you don't need to know it. Just call me brother. As for why I arrested you..."

He shook his head. "How can this be considered an arrest? It should be called an invitation."
