Chapter 170 Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose.

Wei Ning paused for a moment, glanced at the unfamiliar number, and without bothering to ask Li Tingxi where he got his private number, said in a tense voice, "Mr. Li, I can help you find Su Youling, but..."

"One million, how long will it take?"

"Great!" Wei Ning grinned and readily sent a real-time tracking location. "The kidnappers took her down this side road. I checked the road layout map, and there are no surveillance cameras along this route. The tracking signal is also very weak. You should send your men to chase after them as soon as possible, or I'm afraid the signal will be lost."

Without saying a word, Li Tingxi immediately shared the tracking signal with his bodyguards in City B, ordering them to give chase.

While waiting to board the plane, he coldly questioned the person on the other end of the phone, "Did you install a tracker on Su Youling?"

"Don't wrong me, Mr. President, I'm a law-abiding citizen." Wei Ning quickly shook his head and said cautiously, "This is a tracking chip that Su Youling commissioned me to make at a high price. Moreover, I can only track her signal after she triggers the alarm. I'm not a pervert. She developed TSD after being kidnapped last time, so this is called prevention."

He said with great emotion, "At the time, I thought she was worrying unnecessarily, but I didn't expect Su Youling to be kidnapped again so soon. I suggest you go to the temple to pray after you rescue her. It's better to believe it than not. Maybe she just had bad luck."

Li Tingxi "..."

Su Youling would rather spend money to ask Wei Ning to make a tracking device than confide a single word of unease or fear to him.

Does she think that no one will take her safety seriously?

"Don't tell her I know about the chip," Li Tingxi said in a deep voice. "If you receive any alarm signals in the future, notify me immediately. It'll cost you 1 million each time."

"Great!" Wei Ning readily agreed.

This doesn't count as betrayal.

After all, if Su Youling really was in danger and the alarm went off, it wouldn't matter if he could track the signal; someone would still have to go and rescue her.

Li Tingxi is the best candidate.

He was just helping an old friend and earning some extra money on the side.

...

In the darkness, Su Youling's body was subjected to wave after wave of painful impacts.

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

Slowly, I woke up.

It was pitch black all around, seemingly a very narrow and enclosed space. Her hands and feet were bound, and she was curled up inside something that looked like a box. Even turning over would cause her to bump into obstacles.

Each impact sent a slight electric current through my body.

This is an electrified 'box'!

Su Youling was in so much pain that she dared not move. She curled up into a small ball, warily avoiding touching any corner of the wall, carefully protecting her lower abdomen.

Baby, hang in there.

Please, please make sure nothing happens to you.

Even if it costs me my life, I will protect you.

Su Youling carefully felt the necklace around her neck with one hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the chip in the necklace was not discovered and was not tampered with.

Wei Ning should have received his own alert and reported it to the police.

If we just hold on a little longer, we'll be fine once the police arrive.

I touched it further down...

wrong!

Where are her clothes?

Su Youling shifted her body and discovered that her clothes had vanished, leaving only a shameful, sexy triangle of fabric, one piece on the top and one on the bottom, barely enough to cover her three private parts.

Which pervert changed her clothes?

Su Youling felt flustered and ashamed, and cautiously moved her legs to feel them.

fortunately.

There were no signs of violation.

As she calmed down, she recalled the tall figure she had seen before losing consciousness, and it seemed somewhat familiar.

That person is...

brush!

The overhead barrier suddenly parted, and blinding glass light fell, enveloping the slender beauty curled up in the box.

Su Youling instinctively closed her eyes, then looked up and met a pair of sinister eyes under the glaring light—a familiar chill and lewdness.

"It's you?"

"Surprised?" Lu Han sat on the glass box, leaning over to look at the Sleeping Beauty inside through the transparent crystal glass.

Her snow-white skin was as pure and flawless as jade, and her features, though unadorned, possessed a natural elegance. Her limbs were long and slender, but she was tightly curled up in shame, concealing the vital parts that she was too ashamed to show.

Therefore, her back curved into a beautiful, graceful arc like a mountain range, and her delicate butterfly bones seemed to flutter on her slender back like butterflies about to take flight. Her black hair cascaded down her snow-white skin, making her even more dazzlingly beautiful.

Such a beautiful woman, like a work of art, is such a good deal for Li Tingxi.

"No wonder so many men are chasing after you, you really do have the allure to be so captivating." Lu Han leaned down, clinging to the box like a writhing lizard, his gaze on Su Youling's body through the glass with a greedy and infatuated look. His rough fingers traced the glass inch by inch, as if touching her skin through the air, his face filled with a fluttering heart.

Su Youling suppressed her nausea; such an offensive act was even more unbearable than physical assault, and she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

abnormal!

“Lu Han, I am Li Tingxi’s wife. It’s not too late for you to back down now.” Su Youling calmly surveyed her surroundings. Outside the box was not a bedroom, but a stage-like space, with cameras and stage lights overhead, and a large curtain hanging outside.

She felt a chill run down her spine, sensing that when the curtain fell, a whole audience would be waiting outside for this ridiculous and sordid performance.

And he himself was the only clown in this freak show.

"I don't need to remind you of Li Tingxi's character and conduct, such as..."

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

"If you really do anything to me, he'll probably wipe out the entire Lu family." Su Youling steadied her inner turmoil, clenched her fists, and looked up at Lu Han's sinister eyes. "We can discuss what you want; there's no need to escalate to a point of mutual destruction."

Lu Han stared at her for a long time, as if admiring a fish struggling to its death on the beach. After a while, he traced her features through the glass and mocked her word by word, "You think I'm afraid? Since I've kidnapped you, I can bear the consequences. What does the life or death of the Lu family have to do with me?"

He recalled being brutally beaten by Li Tingxi, waking up injured in the hospital, and instead of receiving comfort and protection from his family, he was slapped by his uncle, further aggravating his injuries. After returning home, he was subjected to Lu Chennuan's sarcastic remarks, doubling the blows.

From beginning to end, his cowardly and timid father didn't dare to utter a single word to his uncle, the head of the family, showing the utmost weakness.

He'd had enough of living like this, dependent on others!

"Anyway, I'm dispensable at home, not even as valued as Lu Chennuan, a woman. Why should I care about them?" Lu Han roared. "But to die under a peony is to die romantically. A beauty like you is a man's best trophy. I'm going to sacrifice you to those lustful men to get the power and money I want."

Su Youling tensed up, and her fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

It seems things have reached their worst point.

This guy is barefoot and doesn't care about those wearing shoes.

"What...what exactly do you want?" Su Youling's voice was dry, her face tense. "Lu Han, where is this place?"

She thought Lu Han was just being lustful or wanted revenge, which was why he kidnapped her to this godforsaken place and left her half-naked.

Perhaps she oversimplified everything.

Lu Han remained silent, his eyes fixed on her like those of a predatory beast, gleaming with a terrifying green light, his expression one of readiness to pounce.
