Lin He's face became paler and paler, and he decided to go to Nian Nian's residence immediately.

On the way, he kept calling Nian Nian, but still got no response.

When he rushed to Nian Nian's house, he found the door ajar. Lin He's heart instantly rose to his throat. He carefully pushed the door open and walked into the house.

The room was dark and there was a strange smell in the air.

Lin He fumbled to turn on the light, and the scene before him stunned him - the room was in a mess, as if someone had rummaged through it, and Nian Nian was nowhere to be seen.

Lin He's eyes were filled with fear and despair. He frantically searched for Nian Nian's trace, but found nothing.

Suddenly, he found a note on the table, which read: "If you want to save her, come to the old factory to find me."

A glimmer of hope surged in Lin He's heart, and he ran towards the old factory without hesitation.

Lin He came to the old factory, which was eerie and scary.

He searched around vigilantly and finally found Nian Nian, who was tied up in a corner.

Her mouth was sealed with tape and her eyes revealed fear and helplessness.

Lin He rushed forward quickly, untied the ropes on Nian Nian, and tore off the tape on her mouth.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Lin He hugged Nian Nian tightly, feeling her body temperature.

"Let's leave here quickly." Lin He took Nian Nian's hand and prepared to walk out.

Suddenly a dark shadow attacked him from behind.

Lin He fell to the ground unconscious, and Nian Nian's screams echoed throughout the old factory...

The black shadow approached Nian Nian step by step, and she stepped back in fear.

Suddenly, Nian Nian stepped on a loose floor and fell into a hidden basement.

Seeing this, the black shadow also jumped down.

The basement was filled with all kinds of junk, and Nian Nian groped in the darkness, trying to find an exit.

Just then, she found a sharp dagger, which she held tightly in her hand, ready to face the impending danger.

The black shadow gradually approached, and Nian Nian's heart beat faster with nervousness.

When the shadow pounced on her, she used all her strength and stabbed the shadow with the dagger.

The black shadow screamed in pain and then turned and ran away.

Nian Nian breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not let her guard down.

She continued to search for an exit in the basement and eventually found a door.

She pushed open the door, saw the sunlight outside, and successfully escaped from the old factory.

Nian Nian staggered out of the old factory and went to the nearby police station to report the case.

The police quickly launched an investigation and sent the injured Lin He to the hospital.

A few days later, Lin He woke up and learned that Nian Nian was safe and sound. The stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

However, the identity of the shadow remains a mystery.

Lin He decided to find out the truth himself and avenge Nian Nian.

"Nian Nian, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will never watch you suffer any injustice for no reason."

"By the way, didn't you say before that you wanted to go back to your hometown to visit your parents?"

"What exactly happened? Why was he suddenly kidnapped by those people?" Lin He asked with concern.

Before he could finish his words, Nian Nian seemed to have her emotions flooded and burst into tears.

This sudden cry made Lin He panic instantly. He said in a panic: "Niannian, don't be like this, please stop crying first, okay?"

"Did I say something wrong to upset you? If that's the case, you must tell me and I will apologize to you immediately."

"Oh, my heart is in turmoil when you cry."

At this moment, Lin He stood there, anxious like an ant on hot pan.

He really didn't know how to comfort the girl in front of him who was crying bitterly. After all, he was most afraid of seeing girls cry.

"Is there not enough money? If not, we can think of a solution together." Lin He looked at Nian Nian anxiously.

He held her shoulders tightly with both hands, trying to reassure her.

His eyes were full of concern and worry, and he was willing to pay any price as long as he could help Nian Nian.

"No." Nian Nian replied with sobs, her voice trembling like a candle in the wind.

Tears flowed from her beautiful eyes like a flood, slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

"Then tell me what happened and we can find a solution together." Lin He's heart was in a knot.

He wished he could know the truth of the matter immediately so that he could help Nian Nian solve her problem.

"Money...the money is gone, all gone." Nian Nian finally plucked up the courage to say this.

"What?" Lin He was struck by lightning when he heard the news.

His eyes widened, unable to believe what he heard.

For a moment, he felt that the whole world became dim and his mind went blank.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, squatted down, gently helped Nian Nian up, and said softly: "Don't cry, don't be afraid, no matter what, I will always be with you."

"Let's calm down and think about what to do next."

"He, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I was incompetent and failed to protect the money you gave me. Just let me die."

"This is not your fault, Nian Nian." Lin He quickly comforted her, "You can earn money again if you lose it. Don't hurt yourself."

He held Nian Nian in his arms, patted her back gently, and let her release her emotions.

After Nian Nian's emotions stabilized a little, Lin He decided to discuss solutions to the problem with her.

"Let's call the police first and see if we can recover the lost money." Lin He suggested with a frown.

However, Nian Nian was like being struck by lightning, her body trembled violently and she kept shaking her head.

He muttered to himself, "I can't call the police. If I do, my dad will die. I can't live without him. My dad is everything to me."

Tears slid down her pale cheeks, dripped onto the ground, splashing tiny teardrops.

Lin He felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw Nian Nian so heartbroken, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

As time passed, the whole room was immersed in a solemn atmosphere.

After a long time, Nian Nian finally stopped crying, raised her head, looked at Lin He with a firm gaze and said, "He, don't worry, no matter what, I will find a way to solve this matter and give you an explanation."

At this moment, the cell phone that Nian Nian had placed on the table suddenly rang with a shrill tone.

She subconsciously glanced at the screen and found that it was a completely unfamiliar number.

An ominous feeling came over her and she took a deep breath.

He cleared his throat and tried to make his voice sound calmer: "Hello."

Almost instantly, a fierce and rude male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Bitch, where is the money you promised to give me?"

"I'll give you one day. If we don't see the money by then, your dad will never walk out of this door alive." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone mercilessly.
