However, Quan Yi didn't expect the first-place winner would turn out to be Quan Meng. When the results were announced, she saw it in advance because she was the representative for the group of sponsors. When she saw that Quan Meng was the first-place winner, Quan Yi's face became contorted immediately. Fortunately, her staff reminded her in time, so she readjusted her expression.
However, Quan Yi was still angry. Why was Quan Meng able to win first place so easily when she could only rely on these shameful means? At that moment, she thought about destroying Quan Meng. She must destroy her!
After settling everything, she got someone to change the ranking and swap the work. It was just a matter of giving more money. When she became famous through this competition, it would be easy for her to get back the money she had forked out.
It was as if the heavens had heard her plea. Gao Si had heard the news from somewhere and came over to say that she had a solution.
Gao Si had been wanting to take revenge on Quan Meng for what happened before, but Yu Yan and an unknown man were protecting Quan Meng, so she couldn't find the opportunity. Now that there was Quan Yi, she could incite Quan Yi and benefit from it indirectly.
Even if someone found out in the end, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to her.
The two of them each had their own ulterior motives and hit it off instantly. The so-called thorough plan was just to kidnap Quan Meng and then find someone to torture her viciously.
They didn't expect Quan Meng would really take the bait as they had expected. What greeted her next would be endless darkness.
When Quan Meng woke up, her hands were tied tightly behind her back, her eyes were covered with a black cloth, and her face was stinging with pain.
She felt as if she had been thrown into a soft place, like a bed. There seemed to be someone next to her, and hot breath was huffing on her face.
The moment she realized this, Quan Meng began to struggle with all her might, which seemed to make the other party even more excited.
"Oof! Oof!" Quan Meng wanted to kick that person away, but she found that she couldn't exert any strength in her body. She couldn't even lift her legs.
She had been drugged!
The person beside her burst into sinister laughter. Despite being blindfolded by the black cloth, Quan Meng could feel the presence of the flash. She had been photographed.
"Baby, you rest first, I'm going to take a shower! Wait for me to come back and I'll slowly torture you!" The man's sleazy words wafted into Quan Meng's ears, and she felt so repulsed by him that she got goosebumps all over her body.
She had a feeling that she had heard this voice before, but she couldn't recall where because of the drug's effect.
Meanwhile, the moment Huo Ling heard that Little Floss was about to give birth, he sped up the work at hand and boarded the return flight. However, he couldn't contact Quan Meng after he got off the plane. There was no response regardless of whether he called or sent messages. In the end, he realized that Quan Meng wasn't even at home, leaving Little Floss who had just given birth and the kittens all alone.
The conversation between the two of them had stopped a few hours ago when Quan Meng asked him what names to give the newborn kittens.
Other than the last time when they had an argument and she ran away from home, such a situation had never cropped up again with Quan Meng.
Huo Ling took out his phone and was about to call Shen Xin to ask if she knew where her best friend had gone when Yu Yan called first.
"Something bad has happened!" Yu Yan's voice was full of anxiety. "Mrs. Huo seems to have been kidnapped!"
Kidnapped?
Huo Ling felt his hands and feet turning cold. "What do you mean?"
Ding Dong! A photo was sent over.
Quan Meng was tied up and thrown on a bed. Although the lights were dim, it wasn't hard to tell that it was an erotic hotel.
"Where did you get this photo?" Huo Ling asked Yu Yan.
Yu Yan said, "There is a group created by a few rich dudes. I was added to it. A guy named Liu Meng posted it."
"Can you find out where this place is?" Huo Ling's tone was very anxious.
"I've already asked someone to check his IP address. We should be able to locate him soon," Yu Yan said.
"Tell your men to speed up!"
Huo Ling's mind was in a mess. He carefully enlarged the photo, trying to find some clues that could reveal the location. Finally, he saw a landmark building in the reflection in the mirror. Although the window was blocked by the curtain, a corner of it was still exposed. The corner of the TV station's antenna tower could be seen!
Huo Ling immediately picked up his clothes and ran downstairs. He didn't even give Little Floss and her children a glance before running out.
Although he could only confirm that it was near the TV station and could not pin down the actual location, it was better to take action than to sit around idly, resigned to one's fate.
In the car, Yu Yan finally called again.
"I've sent you the location. Don't worry. I'll be there soon!"
"I'm already on my way." Huo Ling's voice sounded very displeased. In fact, he might even be angry. Yu Yan could tell immediately just by listening.
He knew how serious the consequences would be if Huo Ling got angry. He could only quickly think of a way to help Huo Ling settle the aftermath. This guy Liu Meng's fate was sealed.
