Transmigrated as the Tortured Female Lead's Daughter

Chapter 93: The Rise of the Protagonist (2)

Gu Chu thought that as the female protagonist of a tragedy novel, she would have to rely on herself if she wanted to rise and resist.

Jumping off the windowsill, Gu Chu crawled into bed and fell asleep.

She was still in a five-year-old child’s body. After running around all day, Gu Chu was tired and sleepy. She rested her head on the pillow and slept until noon the next day.

Gu Manxi felt sorry for her child and did not wake her up.

Gu Manxi and Zhao Yan had lunch together. Zhao Yan said, “the police station sent news. They interrogated the kidnappers all night and got some information.”

Gu Manxi clenched her fingers and asked, “Was it done by Tang Chunxiu?”

Gu Manxi usually kept a low profile and tried her best not to offend people. After coming to the capital, the only people who had conflicts with her were the Zhao family. Her biological mother, Tang Chunxiu, had long disliked Chuchu’s existence.

“There are two groups of people,” Zhao Yan said. “Bai Yiyi is jealous of Xiaozhou. After being persuaded by someone, she decided to target Chuchu. As for the kidnappers…”

Zhao Yan paused. “Wang Qiang claimed that he received a virtual request online. A mysterious person paid him a large sum of money and specifically asked him to kidnap Chuchu. The police checked this online ID. The account came from the United States, so they couldn’t continue the investigation.”

Wang Qiang didn’t seem to be lying. Fugitives like them had their own social network. There were always some people who were unwilling to reveal their identities. They saw the potential of the fugitive and hired him for murder.

But the problem was, who would kidnap a five-year-old child? And why someone who lived in the United States?

Zhao Yan was familiar with the Zhao family. The Zhao family’s power was only considered middle-class in the capital. It was impossible for Tang Chunxiu and Zhao Jing’s power to spread to the United States.

“The United States?” Gu Manxi looked confused and said uneasily, “Chuchu and I are just ordinary people. We don’t have any power or influence. It’s impossible for us to offend someone from the United States…”

The rest of Gu Manxi’s words were stuck in her throat.

She thought of someone.

“There were three kidnappers. The Zhao family hired Bai Yiyi,” Zhao Yan concluded. “The other two were instructed by others. I think it might be related to Chuchu’s biological father.”

The brother and sister had been reunited for so long, but Zhao Yan had never taken the initiative to ask who Gu Chuchu’s biological father was. He respected Gu Manxi. Unless Gu Manxi took the initiative to mention it, Zhao Yan would not dare to ask.

Gu Manxi fell into a long silence and did not speak again.

…

At the corner of the stairs, Gu Chu pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

What? There are actually two forces that want to kidnap me?

One force is the Zhao family, and the other mysterious force is from the United States…

Gu Chu’s small brain started to think. She hurriedly ran back to the small room, locked the door, and turned on the computer.

Her pale chubby fingers moved quickly on the keyboard. She was looking for Wang Qiang’s communication record.

Coincidentally, Gu Chu knew this person from a year ago. Wang Qiang had fled to Ping An Village. It was where Gu Manxi had brought Gu Chu to live for five years.

When Wang Qiang arrived, he brutally killed three female students there. The police had posted arrest warrants everywhere. This was also the reason why Gu Chu immediately thought of playing the ghost after he was kidnapped. Wang Qiang was cruel by nature. He was not afraid of the living, but he was definitely afraid of the dead – especially of the female students he killed.

“An order from the United States wants to kidnap me…” Gu Chu pulled up Wang Qiang’s previous communication records and web browsing records. She muttered to herself, “He mentioned that somebody wanted to kidnap me specifically. Could it be Song Chen’s little sweetheart, that Cheng Qingyun?”

As the male lead of the original novel, Song Chen was naturally tall, handsome, and rich. There were many beautiful women and men around him.

Among them, Song Chen’s biggest pursuer was also the female villain of the original novel. Her name was Cheng Qingyun.
