Where is this?

As soon as Jian Ruoxi opened her eyes, all she saw was darkness.

She reached out and touched her head, still feeling a little dizzy.

After her eyes adjusted to her surroundings, she vaguely remembered that she had been kidnapped and that the kidnappers had knocked her unconscious with something.

She could vaguely hear the kidnappers talking on the phone.

"I've caught the man. When do you plan to send the money you promised me?"

She could tell that the kidnapper's voice sounded impatient.

This person is clearly just following orders.

Whose orders should we take?

The distance was too great for her to hear clearly what the kidnapper was saying on the phone.

But one thing she was certain of was that it was a woman's voice.

Is it Han Mingyi? Or Li Anran?

Or perhaps Jian Mengyu?

It seemed that the only women she could think of who had a grudge against her were them.

There is too little information at the moment, and she cannot be certain yet.

We could only keep listening.

"Wait until they're dead?"

"Miss, are you sure?"

“The business of killing people is different from the business of kidnapping people; the price is at least twice as high.”

Li Anran, on the other end, was furious after hearing this.

Even at the last minute, this person still dared to raise the price against her.

Jian Ruoxi is currently in the hands of the kidnappers. If this deal falls through and they release her, all her plans will be in vain.

"Fine, whatever you say." She practically spat out those words through gritted teeth.

Although she is currently staying at the Lu family's house.

However, the amount of money that Old Madam Lu gives her each month is fixed. If she were to give it all to this person at once, what would she use it for?

"That's the final decision; the price can't be changed any further."

If you look at the prices further up, those prices are beyond her reach.

"Don't worry," the kidnapper said with a sinister smile. "Compared to you people, at least I still have some credibility."

Jian Ruoxi was sweating profusely.

What did she just hear?

die?

The person behind her actually wants to kill her?

She opened her eyes and looked around. The cave was not very spacious, and the kidnappers were still standing at the entrance. Even if she rushed out now, the chances of escaping safely were zero.

"Oh, you're awake now?"

The kidnapper turned around and saw Jian Ruoxi looking around in surprise.

Surprisingly, this woman, who looked so gentle and weak, remained quite calm in the face of such a situation.

It made him somewhat reluctant to kill her so soon.

"Why did you wake up so quickly?" The kidnapper came to Jian Ruoxi's side, squatted down, and said with interest.

"I won't go easy on you just because you're good-looking."

"When you're awake, you can only clearly feel every bit of pain."

He had hoped to see fear on Jian Ruoxi's face.

But in the end, he didn't see anything.

The woman opposite him still had a calm expression on her face.

Is she really not afraid at all?

"You were sent by someone to kill me, weren't you? What price did she offer you?"

Her hands behind her back were trembling slightly.

She was afraid, but she didn't dare show it to the kidnappers.

If I were to show weakness and let him manipulate me, I would have no chance of survival whatsoever.

The kidnapper was slightly surprised, rubbing his chin with one hand.

"Why are you asking this? Do you want to know how much you can sell it for?"

Jian Ruoxi gave a cold laugh.

Her worth cannot be measured by money.

"No matter how much the person behind you offers you."

“I could offer more than she could to buy my life.”

"Shall we discuss this deal?"

She could only gamble, betting that the kidnappers were not satisfied with the money Li Anran had given her.

I'm betting he wants more.

If he were to give in, I would have enough time to stall.

Even if they can't save themselves, I believe the director and the others will realize they're missing and will definitely send someone to look for them.

"How can we negotiate? You're just an actor, how much money could you possibly have?"

He only received a few scattered pieces of information from Miss Li.

Besides, people like them only need to do what they're supposed to do, and then they can take the money and leave.

The hostages he kidnapped were mostly people of high status.

There are heiresses from wealthy families, celebrities from the upper class, and even highly knowledgeable scholars.

Why would they be afraid of a celebrity who hasn't been famous for long?

"Yes, you're right, my job is acting."

"But presumably, the person behind you hasn't told you more about it."

"For example, my powerful backer."

She was certain that Li Anran would never dare to tell anyone about the relationship she had with Lu Shen.

Anyone with a brain wouldn't dare to go against Lu Shen.

If the kidnappers knew that she was Lu Shen's ex-wife and that she was still living with Lu Shen, they might still dare to kidnap her.

That can only mean that the kidnapper doesn't want to live.

backing?

The kidnappers looked hesitant.

He really didn't know that.

The lady who placed the order with him only asked him to deal with someone she hated, telling him their name, appearance, and the location where Jian Ruoxi might appear.

As for the rest, not a single word was mentioned.

Seeing the woman's resolute expression, the kidnapper hesitated.

She remained fearless throughout, was it because her backer was too powerful?

Who is your backer?

The kidnapper's voice trembled slightly when he asked the question.
