Rebirth: She Became a Beautiful and Cool Bigshot-Chapter 264: The Reason for Being Kidnapped

The classmates at the tutoring center each made their guesses.

"Teacher Han, has something happened to Teacher Meng?"

"Is she sick? What illness? It’s not too severe, is it?

...

Han Muyang forced a smile, "No, Teacher Meng isn’t sick. They have gone out to handle a matter, and if everything goes smoothly, they should be back soon. Let’s talk about your tutoring for now. Those who wish to continue, please study hard; those who don’t can come and register with me."

"I want to continue, Teacher Han. Your classes are beneficial for me too."

"I want to continue as well. Not to mention anything else, the study atmosphere here is good. Even without a teacher, I find value in being here."

"Right, and there’s also a five-yuan meal subsidy, isn’t there? But now we won’t get to eat Teacher Meng’s noodles; we’ll have to go buy our own food."

"By that logic, Teacher Meng’s five-yuan per bowl noodles are worth at least ten yuan..."

...

Han Muyang, "..."

If you knew that Teacher Meng has actually disappeared, you probably wouldn’t be so optimistic.

Han Muyang and Zhao Xiaoxin wanted to keep Meng Chuyue’s disappearance a secret.

But with so many people helping to search, the secret couldn’t be kept for more than a few days.

Staff from the tutoring center and the fast food restaurant, even the customers, were all abuzz when they heard.

But though there was a buzz, apart from talking, everyone eventually went back to their routine.

Zhao Sulan soon learned of this news too.

But she wasn’t worried about Meng Chuyue.

After all, Meng Chuyue wouldn’t acknowledge her; her death would mean one less problem for her.

She set her sights on Zhao Xiaoxin.

Not the person but the knowledge of the fast-food restaurant’s seasoning mixtures that Xiaoxin had.

During this time, although Zhao Sulan didn’t disturb Meng Chuyue and Zhao Xiaoxin, she hadn’t stopped inquiring about their affairs.

Through relatives who frequented the fast food restaurant, she learned that Zhao Xiaoxin was now the manager of Blue Sky Fast Food Restaurant and the only one who knew the seasoning formula besides Han Zheng, Meng Chuyue, and Shen Ci.

The fast foods sold at the Blue Sky Fast Food Restaurant had very simple preparation methods; nearly every staff member knew how to make them.

But without that special seasoning, the taste was just mediocre.

That is to say, the key lay in that seasoning formula.

Zhao Sulan very much wanted that seasoning formula.

She thought, whether it was Lin Youdong or her family, even if they knew about her outrageous behavior, given that she had the formula, they wouldn’t cast her out.

And if they still couldn’t tolerate her, she could take the seasoning formula and make her way to a different place.

The more Zhao Sulan thought about it, the more she yearned for the seasoning formula, filled with a determination to possess it.

Previously, with Meng Chuyue around, she hadn’t dared to approach Zhao Xiaoxin.

Now, with Meng Chuyue gone and Shen Ci out looking for people, nobody was around.

And though Zhao Xiaoxin appeared to have changed drastically, from her eyes it was evident that timidity and cowardice were still her nature.

She would be easy to deal with.

...

Meng Chuyue was indeed kidnapped.

It wasn’t for the other reason that Han Zheng and Erhu had hoped for—that she was trapped in a suddenly upgraded "space," losing touch with the outside world and Erhu.

Ideally, Erhu, with his keen sense of smell, would detect Meng Chuyue and the space, and Han Zheng would have started searching for her within ten minutes of her disappearance, making it hard for the kidnappers to succeed.

Unfortunately, it was extremely unlucky that when the kidnappers attacked, the vehicle used as a cover was filled with spices.

Moreover, there were several such vehicles, each heading to different places.

Erhu had initially overlooked this.

By the time it realized this possibility, those vehicles and Meng Chuyue were already beyond its sensing range.

...

Meng Chuyue, though kidnapped, wasn’t mistreated.

Other than being drugged at the start, which caused her some distress, she woke up a few minutes later to receive VIP treatment.
