Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 235 - Li Hanzhou is Afraid

Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Li Hanzhou is Afraid

The river beneath Sanjiang Bridge flowed with an extremely rapid current; unless someone was an exceptionally good swimmer, there was simply no chance of survival.

No one had expected these people to be so reckless with their lives.

They’d rather die than surrender!

Lu Zhanxing stumbled forward, intent on jumping into the water to rescue the person.

Fortunately, Shen Qi was quick enough to stop him, “Calm down! Calm down, Professor Qiao is no ordinary person, it’s impossible for her to be in trouble so easily!”

“How can I be calm! That’s my sister, she just fell into the river right in front of my eyes!”

Lu Zhanxing struggled fiercely against the hands Shen Qi was using to pin his waist.

“Let me go! I need to save my sister! We’ve just recently recognized each other, I haven’t had the chance to show her around properly, I haven’t let her know how much I like her!”

“Are you out of your mind! Professor Qiao definitely wouldn’t want to see you get hurt!”

Shen Qi intensified his grip, completely flustered.

“Brother Li, think of something quickly, right now we…”

He looked up at Li Hanzhou, but upon seeing Li Hanzhou’s face, his voice abruptly stopped…

Li Hanzhou’s face and lips were pale, so white they lacked any color, his jawline was tense, and his posture was rigid.

But Shen Qi still noticed his fingers trembling slightly.

“Get more people, retrieve the vehicle from the water!”

His voice was hoarse, his eyes bloodshot, and he clenched his fists as if desperately suppressing something.

“Brother Li, are you okay?” Shen Qi was very worried about Li Hanzhou’s condition.

“What are you standing there for! Call for help!” Li Hanzhou barked the order.

While holding back the out-of-control Lu Zhanxing, Shen Qi took out his phone to call for assistance.

He was also afraid.

If something happened to Professor Qiao, the impact would be immense.

Li Hanzhou, staring at the unfathomable depths of the river, felt his mind go blank, with only his heart transmitting waves of intense pain.

Telling him that this wasn’t a dream, everything happening before his eyes was real.

The retrieval team arrived quickly, and a cordon was set up around the area.

Thanks to Li Hanzhou’s influence, the salvage operation was conducted very swiftly, and within less than half an hour, the van was hoisted out of the water.

Li Hanzhou’s gaze was fixed tightly on the van, and for the first time, he understood what fear was.

He was scared of actually seeing Qiao Yun in the vehicle, scared that something had happened to her.

“No one’s inside!”

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Zhanxing, gasping for air, slumped to the ground, completely spent.

“No one… does that mean my sister is okay…”

“She’s definitely okay,” Shen Qi reassured.

Li Hanzhou’s tightly drawn mouth relaxed slightly.

Detectives approached for inspection, and after a while, they came to a conclusion.

Based on the evidence, there had only been a driver in the vehicle from the start; it looked like the driver had fled upon hitting the water.

This meant that Qiao Yun had been moved before the van was submerged.

Li Hanzhou thought back to when they had chased the vehicle into the alley; there was a moment when the vehicle was out of sight.

That must have been when Qiao Yun was transferred.

“The kidnappers are professionals,” the head of the detectives said. “Their counter-surveillance skills are strong, and they’re not afraid to die, which makes them very difficult to deal with.”

After pondering for a moment, Li Hanzhou made a call to Pei Ya.

“Where is she?”

“Who?” Pei Ya played dumb.

Li Hanzhou, his voice a hoarse whisper, saw through him, “She’s always been protected, and you would definitely be alerted if she were in trouble; you wouldn’t be this calm otherwise. You know where she is.”

He had already ordered someone to track Qiao Yun’s signal, but since Qiao Yun was no ordinary person, it was difficult to pinpoint her location quickly.

Finding Pei Ya was the quickest way. Ever since the car had fallen, the people protecting Qiao Yun hadn’t shown up.

That could only mean they already knew Qiao Yun wasn’t in the van, which was why they hadn’t appeared.

Li Hanzhou had been too anxious and hadn’t thought things through clearly at first. Now that he was calm, he had figured everything out.

Perhaps Qiao Yun had known all along that someone was following her.

“Alright, I do know…” Pei Ya sighed.

Li Hanzhou asked, “Where?”
