Chapter 222: Kidnapping Ding Xiang

Tang Chen looked at the detailed information about Ding Xiang in front of him and slightly frowned.

Ding Xiang’s experience was like a true representation of the “Bei Piao” group. After graduation, she didn’t find a good job. To make a living, she started working part-time in nightclubs, dancing pole dance and such. However, unexpectedly, she was discovered by a talent agency while performing pole dance in a nightclub. Afterward, she underwent a period of training. At the right time, she was sent to participate in a show like “So You Think You Can Dance.” As a result, she became a popular female celebrity.

She was also part of the Millennials generation. Although she wasn’t called one of the “Four Young Dan” like Zheng Xiaoshuang and others, if you mentioned the title “Pole Dance Queen,” almost no one wouldn’t recognize her.

If it were just this, Tang Chen wouldn’t have found it difficult. After all, he could just throw tens of millions at her, and he didn’t believe Ding Xiang wouldn’t obediently come to perform at the bar. However, according to the records, Ding Xiang was a very strange person—a rather stubborn girl. She basically never attended any commercial performances or award ceremonies, nor had she endorsed any products. It wasn’t that no one approached her; the main issue was that everyone who tried was turned down.

The only time she had a chance to appear was during events organized by her agency. Because of this, she was known as the most high-profile and hardest-to-invite female celebrity in the entertainment industry.

“Damn. It seems like this is really troublesome.” Tang Chen hadn’t expected Ding Xiang to be so hard to invite. It looked like he had made his promise too soon.

The System gloated and sneered, “Respected Host, all of this is the result of your own decisions. You are just too arrogant. So, now you’re facing difficulties, right?”

“Shut up!” Tang Chen angrily cursed and coldly said, “Young Master usually tries peaceful means before resorting to force. If this woman doesn’t give me face, I’ll kidnap her if I have to. System, do me a favor.”

Without waiting to hear the rest, the System directly refused, “Respected Host, kidnapping is illegal. This System firmly opposes your shameless behavior. Don’t expect me to give you any tools to kidnap Ding Xiang. I won’t do it even if you beat me to death.”

Tang Chen’s face turned dark. What kind of system was this? Damn it, you’re supposed to serve me. Shouldn’t you stand with Young Master? What do you mean by opposing my shameless behavior? Haven’t you helped me do plenty of bad things already?

Tang Chen twitched his lips and said, “System, don’t worry, Young Master won’t ask you for tools to kidnap her. Kidnapping a woman doesn’t require your tools. I just want you to find out where Ding Xiang lives and check if she has any entertainment activities.”

The System asked suspiciously, “Respected Host, why are you investigating this? Are you a pervert?”

Tang Chen cursed angrily, “You’re the pervert! To win every battle, one must know the enemy. If Young Master doesn’t investigate where she lives and what she does, how the hell am I supposed to find her?”

The System: “…”

Tang Chen drove back home. The information the System gave him was temporarily stored in his mind, but it wasn’t suitable to act during the day. He sighed helplessly—it seemed he was only suited for doing things at night.

After returning home, the three of them had a harmonious dinner together. Tang Chen lied, saying he had something to do and had to go out. Leaving Yang Mi and Wang Baobao behind, he drove out alone.

According to the System’s information, Ding Xiang lived in a villa in Jingdu. This woman liked peace and quiet, and she only had one personal assistant at home, without even a bodyguard. She hardly ever went out, which was why paparazzi had never caught any scandals about her all this time.

However, even the tightest security has flaws. What the media hadn’t exposed didn’t mean the System couldn’t find out. The System discovered that Ding Xiang went to a women’s club every night. Although it was called a women’s club, it was actually a high-end nightclub.

This place was frequently visited by socialites and female celebrities in Jingdu. Even if journalists knew about it, they wouldn’t dare to block the entrance or anything, because the forces behind this women’s club were too powerful.

Tang Chen had now parked his car on a small path not far from Ding Xiang’s home. He turned off the engine and waited quietly. According to reason, Ding Xiang should be going out now—the moment she stepped out would be his chance to act.

“Ding Xiang, come out quickly.” Tang Chen was like a lion waiting for its prey. He held a telescope and observed the situation at the back door of Ding Xiang’s home, waiting quietly.

At 8:15, the back door of Ding Xiang’s home opened on time. The first to come out was a woman dressed boldly, with wavy hair, looking very fashionable. This person was Ding Xiang’s assistant. She dressed like this to prevent paparazzi from taking photos. If paparazzi were spotted, she would attract their attention while Ding Xiang took the opportunity to go back inside.

From this, it could be seen that the lives of female celebrities were not easy…

The assistant looked around and, finding nothing unusual, waved toward the inside of the house. A woman wearing a baseball cap and a gray jacket came out. She had a mask on, covering her face completely. Her clothes were very ordinary, making her look no different from a regular citizen at first glance.

But Tang Chen knew that this was Ding Xiang in disguise!

Ding Xiang and her assistant didn’t waste time. They went to the back door and waited anxiously, probably for the driver to bring the car around.

Tang Chen had been waiting for a long time. Seizing the moment, he didn’t hesitate. He opened the car door and rushed over like a swift leopard.

The assistant heard faint footsteps and, sensing something was wrong, turned around. A swift chop landed hard on her neck.

“Sorry!” Tang Chen felt helpless as he watched the innocent assistant fall. Today, he only wanted to kidnap Ding Xiang, so he wouldn’t harm anyone else.

“Who are you!” A flicker of panic appeared in Ding Xiang’s beautiful eyes. Tang Chen’s appearance had taken her by surprise.

“Hello, Miss Ding Xiang. I’m here to kidnap you!” Tang Chen grinned, revealing his white teeth. Then, with a flash, he moved behind her and delivered a chop to knock her out. He lifted her, stuffed her into the Extravagant Battle Car, started the engine, and sped away.

Tang Chen took Ding Xiang to a remote path and parked the car there. He quietly waited for Ding Xiang to wake up. This woman wasn’t like those “green tea” celebrities, so he didn’t plan to treat her the same way he had treated Zheng Xiaoshuang.

He reached out and removed her cap and mask, revealing beautiful red hair and an exquisite face. Her lips were thin, her eyelashes long, and she wore light makeup, giving her an exceptionally pure appearance.

To be honest, this woman wasn’t bad-looking—at least enough to slightly pique Tang Chen’s interest.

“Ugh!” Ding Xiang let out a pained groan and slowly woke up. Rubbing her neck, she looked at Tang Chen and asked in confusion, “You… who are you? Where am I?”

Tang Chen chuckled and said, “Miss Ding Xiang, you don’t need to know my name. This place is safe. All you need to know is that I kidnapped you.”

“Oh.” Ding Xiang calmly said “oh” and then sat up straight. “Then, could you please be gentler next time you kidnap me? Is it really appropriate to be so rough with a lady?”

“Huh? That’s it? Aren’t you scared at all? Don’t you want to know why I kidnapped you? Is it to assault you and then kill you, or to ransom you?” Tang Chen felt a bit deflated. Were all women these days so bold?

First, Wang Baobao had surprised him with her carefree attitude, and now Ding Xiang was so calm about it. Did she not realize he was kidnapping her?

“I know you’re kidnapping me. As for the two situations you mentioned, I’m not worried. First, you don’t look like a pervert. Second, if you wanted to ransom me, you wouldn’t be treating me so kindly. You’d probably have already stuffed my mouth with your dirty underwear and socks and tied me up with ropes. So, based on that, you seem like a good person.” Ding Xiang spoke unhurriedly, then glanced at her watch and continued, “I left with my assistant at 8:15. It’s 8:54 now—forty minutes have passed. My assistant probably suffered the same fate as me. But given the current situation, she’s likely been revived and has reported to the police. According to police rules for missing persons, cases under forty-eight hours aren’t processed. That means you still have forty-seven hours. If you really don’t plan to do anything bad to me, you’d better tell me everything you need to say within those forty-seven hours.”

Tang Chen was stunned. He took a deep look at the confident Ding Xiang and thought to himself, this woman is not simple. To remain calm in such a situation and use the law to persuade him—should he call her too smart or too terrifying?
