Working in Dongguan: The Girls I Met Over the Years

Chapter 257 A stroke of luck amidst misfortune

After shouting, Ma Junjie stared at the text message again in disbelief.

Upon seeing the above content, his pupils trembled uncontrollably.

The text above reads:

"Brother Qiang, where are you? That woman isn't eating or drinking, and she won't sleep at night. She's so stubborn. Could she die?"

The short line of text exploded in Ma Junjie's mind again and again.

Especially the words "that woman" in the text message—they were so jarring.

Ma Junjie stared blankly, his mind racing with thoughts.

"That woman?"

"Not eating or drinking?"

"Damn it, that woman must be Liu Bingbing!"

Ma Junjie cursed inwardly.

"That bastard Zhang Qiang, he was faking it all along!"

That's cunning! So cunning!

Knowing he was conspicuous, Zhang Qiang didn't personally handle the kidnapping and imprisonment of Liu Bingbing; instead, he delegated the task to his henchman, Monkey.

Yesterday, several people took turns torturing him.

Zhang Qiang refused to speak no matter what.

They basically insist that he was there, and as long as he doesn't admit it, there's no evidence.

"Damn it, you son of a bitch!"

Ma Junjie was so angry that his back teeth were grinding together, a surge of anger rising to his head, and the veins on his hand holding the phone were bulging.

"Sister Liu! Come out quickly! We have news about Bingbing!"

He roared again, his voice trembling, a mixture of excitement and pent-up anger from the night before.

The bedroom door clicked open, and Carina Lau rushed out in a panic.

Her white shirt wasn't buttoned up properly, revealing a large expanse of delicate skin on her neck.

As she walked, buttoning her clothes, she asked in confusion.

"Ah Jie, what did you just say?"

"What's the rush?"

Ma Junjie glanced at Carina Lau, and waited for her to button the last button crookedly.

Ma Junjie walked up and grabbed Liu Jialing's wrist.

"Sister Liu, there's no time to explain, let's get in the car quickly!"

"Let's go to Uncle Liu's house!"

Carina Lau really couldn't understand why Ma Junjie was in such a hurry.

She only felt that Ma Junjie's palm was very hot.

Her feet involuntarily followed Ma Junjie's steps.

"Ah Jie, wait for me, I need to put on my shoes..." Carina Lau said as she reached the door.

Ma Junjie did not let go of Liu Jialing's hand; he continued to pull her towards the door.

Helpless, Carina Lau followed him downstairs in her slippers.

As soon as they went downstairs, the two quickly jumped into the car.

Ma Junjie's movements were fluid and graceful as he started the car.

The car's engine roared, and the tires screeched against the ground. Without hesitation, Ma Junjie floored the accelerator, and the gauges shot up wildly.

"Ah Jie, what happened? Tell me quickly!"

Carina Lau gripped the seatbelt, her heart pounding in her chest, and couldn't help but ask again.

Ma Junjie turned his head and glanced at Carina Lau.

He freed one hand, reached into his pocket, and placed Zhang Qiang's phone on Liu Jialing's lap.

"Sister Liu, open the text message and take a look at the latest one."

"This was posted by Monkey. Monkey is Zhang Qiang's henchman and thug at Blue Moon!"

Carina Lau's eyes widened, and she picked up her phone with trembling hands, slowly turning on the screen.

Upon opening it, I quickly scanned the text message content.

He instantly raised his head and asked tremblingly,

"Ah Jie, that woman mentioned in the text message... who is that woman?"

"Ah, ah!" Ma Junjie shook his head in pain and roared out.

"Who is it...it must be Bingbing..."

"That bastard Zhang Qiang, I'm going to kill him later!"

Carina Lau froze upon hearing Ma Junjie's words.

With a "thud," my hand trembled, and the phone fell under the seat.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of anger welled up inside her, and Carina Lau trembled with rage, her fingertips shaking.

"That beast! I thought he was innocent yesterday, and I even spoke up for him... I was so blind!"

Carina Lau punched the chair in frustration, her eyes reddening again, but this time not from crying, but from anger.

"He's deliberately playing the victim, enduring humiliation to lower our guard!" Ma Junjie said through gritted teeth.

"Fortunately, I knew Zhang Qiang was two-faced and ruthless, so I was careful and detained him, and unexpectedly got his phone..."

"Otherwise, we'll really be manipulated by him and made to do whatever he wants!"

Upon hearing this, Carina Lau looked up abruptly at Ma Junjie, and said with deep emotion,

"Yes, Ah-Jie, it's all thanks to you."

"Fortunately, by a stroke of luck, you detained Zhang Qiang and locked him in the storage room of my father's house..."

Carina Lau's voice was slightly choked up, but her expression became relaxed.

Ma Junjie glanced at Carina Lau, and seeing that her expression had relaxed, he also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He comforted him,

"Sister Liu, everything is moving in a positive direction now, so don't worry too much."

"As long as Zhang Qiang is in our hands, finding Liu Bingbing is only a matter of time."

Carina Lau listened and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Ah-Jie, that's right!"

"We know that Zhang Qiang is the mastermind behind this. Now, all we need to do is get him to talk and we can bring Bingbing back."

"Ah Jie, hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait!"

Ma Junjie turned his head and saw that Liu Jialing's eyes finally had a sparkle, and he breathed a sigh of relief once again.

He pressed harder on his accelerator, and the car sped off like an arrow towards Liu Xiong's house.

A journey of about twenty minutes felt like half a century.

As soon as the car stopped in front of Liu Xiong's house, Carina Lau and Ma Junjie simultaneously pushed open the door and rushed out.

The two ran to the gate of the yard, shouting and yelling.

"Open the door! Open the door now!"

About a minute later, Aunt Zhang opened the door, saw Carina Lau, and greeted her with a big smile.

"Miss, you..."

Carina Lau was extremely anxious. She pushed Aunt Zhang aside, rushed into the room, and shouted loudly.

"Dad, Dad, where are you?"

Just then, Liu Xiong came out of the living room and saw Carina Lau rushing around.

He frowned and asked,

"Jialing, why are you and Ajie in such a hurry? What's wrong?"

"Ouch!" Carina Lau couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly.

"Dad, where's Zhang Qiang? Where is Zhang Qiang being held?"

"We need to see him, we need to see him right now! He knows Bingbing's whereabouts!"

Liu Xiong was stunned, his face full of shock, and he was speechless for a moment.

"Dad, hurry up!" Carina Lau shouted again.

Liu Xiong snapped out of his daze with an "Oh."

He quickly turned his head to look at Aunt Zhang.

"Aunt Zhang, quickly get the key and open the door to the storage room so they can bring the person over."

Aunt Zhang was taken aback, and her expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural.

He asked in a panic,

"Sir...who...who do you think we should bring?"
