Chapter 2681: What a Fragile Guy…
This guy kidnapped someone just because of a thesis. What a fragile guy…
Making a mistake was fine. However, why did it never occur to him to take a different direction after making so many mistakes? Was he stupid?
This guy was probably mentally unwell. Why else would he be so rocked just over a rejected thesis?
After making a mistake, why did it never occur to him to ask what the problematic part was? Ning Shu didn’t know what to say.
His thesis had gotten rejected over and over again. Shouldn’t he have at least asked his professor for clarification? Yet he didn’t say anything and only developed a silent resentment over it.
Ning Shu scratched her hair, feeling speechless. However, she immediately said, “Since my father didn’t explain your mistakes clearly to you, he is indeed at fault in this matter. However, how did you know that I am his daughter?”
Li Qiang paused before he fiercely answered, “Who doesn’t know that Professor Ai has a beautiful daughter? You are the one I originally wanted to kidnap, but you never go out. If I had kidnapped you, it would’ve pained your parents even more, right?”
This guy really was crazy.
How could he, as a college student, be this stupid? How dumbfounding.
How were people supposed to know what he thought if he didn’t say it? It wasn’t like people could cut into his heart and see what was going on in there, could they?
“Li Qiang, if you let my wife go, I can give your thesis a passing grade,” Professor Ai said.
“No, it’s too late now. Do you fear me now, after I’ve shown you what I’m capable of? Professor Ai, you’re nothing but a coward after all. You had acted like such a powerful authority back then when you threw my thesis away, but look how cowardly you are now.”
Li Qiang laughed as he spoke, a little like a crazed maniac.
Ning Shu frowned. There were so many crazy people in this task world.
Though, of course, in this era of immense pressure and competition, everyone was more or less a bit mentally ill anyway.
Without a way to vent this pressure, people would end up with a lot of pent-up emotions. Over time, it’d all pile up into a mountain that’d eventually erupt.
Every action that a human being committed was ultimately a way to take out the emotions and stress that they had in their heart.
However, making light of someone’s life was unforgivable, no matter what.
After Ning Shu called the police, they quickly came to the crime scene. They parked under the school building and quickly formed a cordon.
When Li Qiang heard the police siren, he looked down and saw that they’d laid out a safety air cushion on the ground.
There was an entire crowd of people below, all looking up at them. The sight of the policemen, who were all clad in their uniforms, struck fear into Li Qiang’s heart.
Li Qiang was a very quiet person, so being watched by so many people scared him.
The possibility of this being the end of his life made Li Qiang anxious and terrified. Angrily, he shouted at Ning Shu and Professor Ai, “You actually called the police!”
Li Qiang reached out his hand to shove Mother Ai down.
Mother Ai didn’t say a word, but the intense fear she felt was obvious in her pale face and her terrified expression.
Ning Shu immediately shouted, “Wait!”
Ning Shu lifted her hands as Li Qiang stared at her. “I have a simple solution to all this. Let’s not make this a bigger thing than it should be, alright? Look, the police are here, but we promise not to pursue this if you let my mother go.”
“As long as we don’t pursue this, nothing will happen to you,” Ning Shu firmly said.
Li Qiang hesitated. Ning Shu’s words had obviously got to him.
He had kidnapped Mother Ai because his thesis kept getting rejected. However, he wouldn’t have cared so much about his thesis if he hadn’t been concerned about his future. If he got arrested today, though, what future would he even have?
“Is that really true?” Li Qiang asked.
He seemed to still be uncertain about it.
Just as Ning Shu was about to nod, the iron door to the roof screeched. Cheng Fei and some policemen had come up.
When Cheng Fei saw Ning Shu, his eyes lit up. He hurriedly walked to Ning Shu’s side and asked, “Ai Yun, are you alright?”
