Du Jiahao drove all the way towards the western suburbs, driving very fast. But he didn't know that there were Li Wanshan's Wuyou Pavilion and Leng Lingxiao's Jinshan Villa nearby.
As Lei Ziyi expected, Bailong soon received Li Zishen's retreat order.
At the same time, Leng Lingxiao also shortened the three-hour rest period to two hours. He did not dare to risk Tang Xiaowan's safety.
…
Jinshan Villa, study room.
"Master, the helicopter is in position and can depart at any time." Zhao Renjie reported respectfully, his voice was very soft, just enough for the two of them to hear.
Leng Lingxiao nodded in response while signing the document: "Yes, okay."
"Also, there is one more thing. I just got the news that Mrs. Li is missing. Li Zihan is secretly looking for the whereabouts of a cleaner."
"Yuan Min? Was kidnapped?"
"Currently, it is announced that he needs to rest, and even Li Wanshan has been blocked out."
"Apparently, they are the same group of people. Next...80% will try their best to protect Du Jiahao while demanding ransom. Li Zishen must be in a dilemma now, maybe Bailong has already withdrawn."
"Then should we take action immediately to avoid a long night of nightmares?"
"Don't tell Tangtang about Yuan Min's disappearance for now. We are just out of danger now, so we don't want to scare her anymore. As for Du Jiahao..."
Halfway through the words, Leng Lingxiao fell into deep thought.
For Du Jiahao, he wanted to end it with his own hands to relieve his hatred, but the current situation did not allow it.
In order to rescue Tang Xiaowan this time, Li Zishen put in a lot of effort, and Leng Lingxiao felt like a mirror in his heart, a rival in love is a rival in love, and a favor is a favor.
He doesn't want to owe anyone anything.
"Take everyone back and let Du Jiahao live. This can be regarded as repaying Li Zishen's favor."
"Aren't you afraid that Du Jiahao will take advantage of the opportunity..."
"For now...probably not. But just to be on the safe side, send more manpower around. As long as he dares to come in, he won't be able to blame us."
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."
Zhao Renjie frowned and left the reception area. Unexpectedly, as soon as he closed the study door, he turned around and saw a beaming Tang Xiaowan.
The girl was holding a large bowl of clear soup noodles with two poached eggs and a few slices of green vegetables.
The atmosphere became tense inexplicably.
"Miss Tang."
"Is Huahua in there?" Tang Xiaowan asked with a smile.
"Yes, please, Miss Tang."
Probably the girl's steps were too light, so she didn't even notice it just now.
Zhao Renjie guessed this in his mind, and said nothing more. He just helped open the door respectfully, and then watched Tang Xiaowan enter the study.
Immediately, as Zhao Renjie closed the door, Leng Lingxiao's hearty laughter came from inside.
Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief, with an extremely pleased smile on his face. Then he took out his mobile phone and strode towards the elevator entrance.
In the study, Leng Lingxiao was holding a big bowl and looking at Tang Xiaowan with a wicked smile.
"Did you miss me?"
When he finished speaking, he even gave me a wink.
Tang Xiaowan curled her lips and pretended to be disgusted: "It's so disgusting. Hurry up and eat."
"Then don't leave, stay here with me."
"Tch, I don't want it, bye."
Leng Lingxiao took it seriously, holding a big bowl and walking quickly in a few steps before blocking Tang Xiaowan's path.
"I'm kidding you, don't leave, let's eat quickly." Tang Xiaowan returned to the sofa with a smile and started playing with the brass lighter.
It opens and closes very crisply.
Leng Lingxiao then went back and sat down on the sofa, and started eating with big mouthfuls.
He ate deliciously and looked satisfied.
After arriving at Jinshan Villa, Leng Lingxiao has been busy in the study, and he didn't even bother to drink, let alone eat.
At this moment, he was indeed hungry.
Although this is just a very ordinary bowl of clear noodle soup with two poached eggs, not everyone is lucky enough to be able to eat it.
Tang Xiaowan rarely cooks in person. If she does, it must be for her Leng Lingxiao.
…
Southern suburbs, bungalow area.
In a well-soundproof basement, Mrs. Li just woke up from a coma.
Her hands were tied behind the back of the chair, her mouth was sealed with tape, and she was unable to call for help. Her pale face was full of fear and helplessness, and her eyes were filled with tears and red bloodshot eyes.
Three masked men slowly walked into the basement, their eyes flashing with cruelty and evil.
The leading masked man walked up to Mrs. Li, slapped her hard, and then laughed indulgently.
"Yuan Min, what else are you proud of now? When you bullied others in the past, did you ever think that you would be where you are today?"
Mrs. Li shook her head vigorously, her eyes full of fear and anger.
The masked man grabbed her hair, pulled her head back, and said viciously: "Don't think you are still the superior Mrs. Li. You are just an old woman who no one cares about. I can do it at any time." I want your dog’s life.”
The other masked man next to him smiled evilly and whispered into Mrs. Li's ear: "Hey, old lady, we have prepared two very special games. How about you, try it out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a sharp knife.
Mrs. Li's tears immediately rolled down, her heart filled with despair and fear. She never thought that one day she would be captured, humiliated and tortured by three masked men.
"Are you scared? If you are scared, just tell me, hahaha."
"Oh, by the way, you can't talk."
With wild laughter, a masked man immediately tore off the black tape used to seal the door.
Mrs. Li was finally able to speak. She looked left and right, and then shouted angrily: "What do you want to do? What exactly do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, my brothers are not arrogant. The most they can do is help you touch up your makeup."
"Don't come here, my son..."
"Oh, are you talking about that Li Zishen? I'm afraid he doesn't want to care about you anymore!"
The three masked men laughed wildly. Although they all wore voice changers and couldn't hear their real voices, they still gave people a creepy feeling.
Mrs. Li struggled desperately, but it was useless.
Just like that, her long hair was cut off randomly, here and there, with no pattern at all. Then someone took a paint box and started scribbling on her face and arms, and the contents were all ugly.
It may seem bloodless, but it is very lethal.
…
At this moment, Lei Ziyi, who was far away in Huangcheng, was staring at his laptop and smiling very proudly.
The keyboard clicks loudly.
Everything that Mrs. Li experienced just now, he could clearly see through the surveillance system, and also made a backup.
If Li Zishen does not deliver the 200 million ransom to the designated location within the specified time, then Lei Ziyi will publish the video on the dark web for everyone to watch and repost.
For the Li family, which has always valued reputation, the consequences are unimaginable.
Suddenly, there was a beep, and a tall girl pushed open the door and entered, carrying a large bag of snacks and some daily necessities.
"What are you doing? Why don't you come over to help? Do you want to tire me out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the keyboard suddenly stopped.
Lei Ziyi looked at the girl in shock.
