Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 427 - Chapter 427 Chapter 425 She Went to the Appointment Alone

Chapter 427: Chapter 425: She Went to the Appointment Alone Chapter 427: Chapter 425: She Went to the Appointment Alone Ming Yao started to feel a bit of panic rising in her heart.

Yanyan had never been to the capital, unfamiliar with the place; she wouldn’t wander off randomly.

What’s more, just over ten minutes ago, she had replied to her message!

Ming Yao watched the bustling airport, her slender eyebrows tightly furrowed.

She immediately called Jing Hang.

“Bring your laptop to the airport.”

Jing Hang arrived as quickly as possible.

“Senior Sister, you don’t look well, what happened?”

“Yanyan is missing,” Ming Yao pursed her lips, “hack into the airport surveillance for me, and help me check the passengers who left from exit A around 9:30 AM.”

Jing Hang nodded.

He opened his laptop and got to work at once.

Soon, Jing Hang saw Zhou Yanyan exiting with her suitcase around that time.

At that time, Zhou Yanyan was messaging Ming Yao. After sending the message, she entered the restroom.

Ming Yao immediately instructed Jing Hang to switch the camera to the direction of the restrooms.

But the surveillance only showed the corridor leading to the restrooms; there was none inside.

Zhou Yanyan entered the restroom and did not come out for a long time.

“Senior Sister, do you want to go check the restroom?”

Ming Yao shook her head.

She asked Jing Hang to freeze the surveillance footage on a person who came out pulling a suitcase.

“If I’m not mistaken, Yanyan is inside this suitcase.”

Ming Yao clenched her fists tightly, her beautiful eyes reddening.

Yanyan had no enemies in the capital, but she and Gu Siting did–

Someone who dared to take Yanyan away in a public place like an airport must have been powerful and influential!

Ming Yao’s mind subconsciously thought of someone.

Gong Yu!

It must be because he failed to kill Gu Siting last time that he’s now focusing on her.

If anything happened to Yanyan, even if he was the Crown Prince, she would not let him off easily!

Just then, Ming Yao’s phone received a text message from an unknown number.

[If you want to see her, come alone to the ES yacht at 8 PM tonight.]

Immediately after, the unknown number sent a short video.

Zhou Yanyan was bound to a bed, blindfolded, her face pale, and she looked utterly panicked and terrified.

Jing Hang also saw the message.

“Senior Sister, this is targeted at you! You absolutely can’t go!” Jing Hang looked worriedly at Ming Yao, “Let me go instead, I’ll rescue Zhou Yanyan for you!”

Ming Yao’s eyes carried a calm and icy resolve, “This isn’t Tang Sect; our influence here isn’t strong enough to confront people head-on.”

Hearing Ming Yao’s words, Jing Hang’s heart skipped a beat, “Senior Sister, did you offend someone very powerful?”

“Does the Crown Prince count?”

Jing Hang, “…”

A few seconds later, Jing Hang gave Ming Yao a thumbs-up, “Impressive, you actually managed to offend such an important person.”

“To be precise, it was not me who offended him. It’s that he holds a grudge against Gu Siting, and most likely, Yin Zhe told him that I am someone Gu Siting cares about, and he’s begun to take his chances with me!”

Jing Hang could not help but curse softly, “Damn, picking on women, doesn’t act like a man at all!”

Ming Yao narrowed her cool eyes, “Anyone who can get along with someone like Yin Zhe isn’t any good either. By calling me over, I’ve already anticipated what he intends to do.”

Ming Yao moved closer to Jing Hang and whispered a few words into his ear.

Jing Hang’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, “Senior Sister, how are you so smart?”

“Do a good job with this, and if it’s successful, I’ll give you a big red envelope.”

Jing Hang seldom returned to Tang Sect these days, always following Ming Yao and taking care of her affairs.

Ming Yao didn’t treat him poorly either, having allocated him shares of Ming Corporation and providing him with a substantial salary each month.

……

Eight o’clock in the evening.

Ming Yao boarded the luxury yacht docked by the seaside right on time.

After giving her name, the staff led her to the top deck.

There was an extravagant VIP lounge on the top deck, with air conditioning making the temperature comfortable. A party was in full swing inside, with around twenty men and women, swirling smoke, clinking glasses, and constant laughter.

The men were dressed casually, while the women wore sexy bikinis.

On the dark red leather sofa sat a tall and handsome figure.

The man was dressed in a T-shirt and beach shorts, flanked by two women.

One woman served him drinks, while the other fed him fruit.

Upon seeing Ming Yao approaching, the man lifted his gaze and swept a look towards her.

He reached out and pushed the women beside him away.

“Yin Zhe was right, you really are stunningly beautiful with a charm that’s heaven-sent!”

This was Ming Yao’s first encounter with the Gong Yu of legend.

Being the President’s only son, his photos were naturally available online.

He was fairly handsome but had prominent dark circles, a clear sign of someone with a chaotic private life.

“Crown Prince, if you have business with me, deal with me directly, don’t involve my sister.”

Gong Yu curved his lips, “If you behave well, of course, I’ll let her go.”

“Where is Yanyan right now?”

Gong Yu clapped his hands, and Yin Zhe immediately stepped forward, bringing an iPad to him.

The iPad contained surveillance footage of Zhou Yanyan being held captive.

Several men stood by the bed, eying Zhou Yanyan with eager anticipation!

Gong Yu tossed the iPad back to Yin Zhe and sized up Ming Yao from head to toe, “Go, change into the outfit I’ve prepared for you, and dance for everyone to see!”

Someone immediately brought Ming Yao a skimpy bikini and also brought in a pole for pole dancing.

It was clear Gong Yu intended to humiliate her.

The others gathered around, their faces filled with schadenfreude as they watched Ming Yao.

Ming Yao’s cool and glamorous face showed no signs of panic as she lifted her delicate white fingers and slowly removed the thin overcoat she was wearing.

Underneath, she wore a burgundy strap-style fitted dress that revealed her slender figure, her skin as white and delicate as jade. Her lush, seaweed-like waist-length hair draped over her slender waist, bright red lips alluringly in motion. In an instant, she was the epitome of stunning beauty.

Ming Yao walked up to Gong Yu, her onion-like fingers lightly tugging at his shirt collar. Her radiant face approached his, “Crown Prince, there are too many people here. Why don’t you take me to your room alone, and I’ll dance for you there?”

Gong Yu had very high standards for women, not touching any who weren’t clean. Since Ming Yao was Gu Siting’s ex-wife, she was naturally no longer ‘clean’ in his eyes.

Calling her over this time was to vent the frustration that had built up inside him.

He hadn’t managed to kill Gu Siting last time, and he didn’t know when he’d get another chance.

He was upset, and knowing that Gu Siting cared for Ming Yao, he brought her here to thoroughly humiliate her!

Prior to this, Gong Yu had never seen Ming Yao in person, only hearing from Yin Zhe about her mesmerizing beauty, to the extent that calling her the number one beauty in the country was no exaggeration.

But Gong Yu, who had seen many beauties, was not particularly impressed.

However, now he realized that Yin Zhe had not exaggerated at all.

No wonder Gu Siting was immune to Shi Ying; it was indeed because this woman was too dazzling!

Gong Yu’s Adam’s apple bobbed as a dark depth flashed in his eyes.

It seemed, his principles needed some revision!

Gong Yu’s lips curled slightly, “You know what’s good for you.”

He led Ming Yao into a suite, alone.
