Yun Jian clenched her fists, but looking at Li Tao's thuggish appearance, there was nothing she could do.

She secretly contacted Bai Yu, who was hiding outside the camp, "Have you made contact with Lü Ping? He's very good at finding people. Have him take you to find Xiao Zhen first, and I'll hold off Li Tao."

Bai Yu replied, "We did manage to get in touch, but he's out there and is on his way back. However, he said that to find him, we need something that Xiao Zhen has touched. I don't have that here. I've already notified Sister Weaving, but I don't know if we can get there in time."

Yun Jian felt annoyed after reading the message.

This is the first time Xiao Zhen has come out with her. They haven't had much contact before, so what could Xiao Zhen have been exposed to?

Before she could think further, Li Tao was already getting carried away, "Are you thinking about how to rescue that little girl while keeping Hongyao safe? Let me tell you, it's useless. Do you think I'd let her get away with this?"

Hearing this, Yun Jian became even more annoyed.

If he weren't here, it would take Bai Yu much longer to find Xiao Zhen.

But what Yun Jian found even harder to accept was that Li Tao set up a screen mirroring for her.

In the scene, three men are guarding Xiao Zhen. Looking around, they are all in a large pit, just like the one that trapped her before.

Xiao Zhen's hands were tied behind her back, her coat was taken off, and she huddled in a corner of the pit.

One of the men was hurriedly taking off his shirt, his greasy face crinkling with a lewd grin.

Li Tao observed Yun Jian's expression and smiled as he offered his terms, "Give me the red medicine, or you should understand what will happen to that little girl. It might be worse than death for her."

Yun Jian thought for a moment, then said with a heavy heart, "It's impossible to give you all of it, but I can give you half of the medicine. However, my condition is that Xiao Zhen cannot suffer even the slightest harm!"

As she spoke, Yun Jian opened her chat window with Bai Yu and gifted him a yellow herb.

Bai Yu: "?"

“This bag of yellow herbs was collected by Xiao Zhen. Give it to Lü Ping and see if he can find Xiao Zhen with this.”

Wow, that's amazing! I would never have thought of that.

[What's the use of being powerful? She's still a heartless and ungrateful person. Li Tao already said he'd only release Xiao Zhen if he got all the red medicine. If she really cared about Xiao Zhen that much, she would have obediently handed over the medicine to save her long ago. Why would she need to haggle here?]

【Yes, I'm so anxious! Although the red medicine is hard to come by, Xiao Zhen is also very important. If these perverts succeed, it will ruin Xiao Zhen's life! But the red medicine can be found again. Can't you tell which is more important?】

[But if she hands over the red medicine, Bai Yu will be beyond saving. There's a reason she's not handing it all over.]

[Since you want to save Bai Yu, just say you'll leave a bag of red medicine. Leaving a whole bag is obviously easier to negotiate than leaving half.]

[She clearly wants to save the red potions to sell for points; she's just a businessman at heart. It's a tragedy for Xiao Zhen to be with her...]

In the game, Li Tao breathed a slight sigh of relief when he heard Yun Jian say that he would only give half of the red medicine.

At least she still cares about that girl.

I'm afraid she won't be able to accept the request and will abandon the girl.

Yun Jian glanced at the projected screen and saw that the man was still reaching out to Xiao Zhen without any regard for her safety. Suddenly, her anger flared up. "I told you, you have to ensure that Xiao Zhen is not harmed in the slightest. Otherwise, you won't get a single red medicine."

Li Tao followed her gaze, smiled, and calmly instructed the person, "Stop for now."

Upon hearing this, the man, though reluctant, stopped.

Yun Jian's expression remained unchanged. "Half of the red medicine, take it or leave it."

Li Tao glanced at her sideways. "I told you, I want all of your red medicine. How could I possibly be willing to give you only half?"

After saying that, Li Tao glanced at the projected screen again and threatened, "I'll only give you one minute to consider. If the cooperation can't be reached, then I won't have to put up with my men anymore. They've worked hard for me for so long, they deserve a good reward, don't they?"

Yun Jian closed her eyes and quietly counted the time.

A minute later, she backed down again: "Two-thirds, I won't be satisfied even if you have it all."

Upon hearing her reply, Li Tao, without saying a word, gave the order to the man on the projection screen, "Go ahead and do it. If the man surnamed Yun is unwilling to hand over the medicine, then you can have whatever you want with that little girl."

Yun Jian looked coldly at Li Tao, "Two-thirds is my bottom line. If you're not willing to accept it, then do whatever you want! I don't need one more person."

Li Tao stared at her, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Really? I don't believe you can hold back."

Both of their eyes were fixed on the projected screen.

The man, who had received Li Tao's order, excitedly stripped off his clothes, turned around and rubbed his hands together, looking at Xiao Zhen with anticipation, "So tender, it must taste amazing!"

The man slowly moved his hands toward Xiao Zhen's body.

Xiao Zhen struggled helplessly.

The man quickly grasped Xiao Zhen's shoulders.

Li Tao looked at Yun Jian with great interest, but Yun Jian's expression remained unchanged, as indifferent as if he were looking at a stranger.

Li Tao narrowed his eyes.

My heart couldn't help but waver. Could he really be so heartless?

He suppressed his anxiety and continued to stare at the situation on the projected screen. He saw the man lewdly rip off Xiao Zhen's t-shirt. Her thin body was clearly not fully grown and looked withered.

Why aren't they stopping this?

Yun Jian tried his best to suppress the urge to speak. At this moment, whoever lost their composure first would lose!

But when she saw the man's hand already touching Xiao Zhen's pants, she still couldn't help herself: "I can compromise one more time, I'll only keep one of the red pills."

Li Tao glanced at her, then waved his hand to interrupt the man's actions on the projected screen, "Stop for now."

Li Tao took a sip of water and smiled with satisfaction: "I thought you really weren't going to care about this little girl anymore. Leaving a bag... I guess there are injured people in your camp too? Guess if I want you to keep it?"

Yun Jian pursed her lips and remained silent.

Li Tao asked himself and answered, "Of course I don't want to!"

Without giving Yun Jian a moment to say another word, he ordered the man to continue.

Yun Jian closed her eyes briefly, finally giving in, "Fine, I'll give you everything, just let her go first."

"Get this straight, I'm in a superior position now. You need to hand over all the medicine before I can release them, otherwise..."

Seeing that Yun Jian didn't move, Li Tao made a gesture as if to give an order to the man.

Seeing that there was no other way, Yun had to take out the medicine first. Li Tao then asked to check the inventory of red medicine in Yun's backpack. Only after confirming that it was zero did he feel relieved enough to have the red medicine put away.

"Can you release them now?"

Hearing this, Li Tao raised an eyebrow. "We've clashed so many times, do you think I'm the kind of person who keeps his word?"
