When Yu Ling woke up again, it was already late at night. He looked up and saw that it was pitch black all around. He could only barely see a few faint stars in the sky through the holes in the wall.

With his hands bound in front of him and his feet tied in knots with hemp rope, and the cold concrete floor beneath him, he had likely been tied up in a long-abandoned, unfinished building.

Looking to the other side, Lu Zelong was being tortured by being tied to an iron frame. His mouth was stuffed with something, and he could only make "mmm" sounds. A camera was running next to him, seemingly filming the kidnapping for his family.

At this moment, Lu Zelong saw that Yu Ling had woken up and was extremely excited, frantically giving Yu Ling meaningful glances.

However, Yu Ling did not understand it.

On the other hand, the two ordinary-looking kidnappers seemed to understand.

The kidnappers not only hit him harder and harder, but even the photographer punched him several times.

Yu Ling chose to observe a moment of silence for Lu Zelong.

This scoundrel is still plagued by bad luck; he should probably refrain from doing anything unnecessary...

In this situation, if Yu Ling were to force herself to lose her temper and start a fight, she would have to consider the bad luck that was hanging over someone's head. Therefore, she could only find another way to resolve this unexpected situation.

Yu Ling didn't need to think to know that the kidnappers must have searched his and Lu Zelong's phones and other belongings. Now, it would be better to just call the system directly.

"System? Are you there?"

[Hey there! Host, how unlucky you are! Even just having a few drinks you get caught up in a kidnapping case!]

Yu Ling: It's clearly that kid Lu Zelong... Well, it does have something to do with me too.

[Hang in there! I bumped into a police car, it's on its way, and will arrive soon!]

As a data product, the Black Cat System could easily report to the police, so they promptly sold Yu Ling's location information.

The problem is... the kidnappers ran too far, and the police car encountered some difficulties on its way, constantly running into all sorts of criminals. The operation was too busy, so... it hasn't reached its destination yet.

In short, it is absolutely not the fault of this system!

The Black Cat system wouldn't have any bad intentions; it's just carrying a little bit of bad luck and staying in the car.

"Okay, first log into my account and send a message to Su Zhe to let him know you're safe. Just say I'm going out to relax and will let me know when you arrive."

It's quite remarkable that Yu Ling still remembers Su Zhe even at a time like this.

However, why would someone need to wait for the system to help them escape?

The kidnappers only covered Lu Zelong's mouth, they didn't seal their own. Lu Zelong is still carrying so much bad luck, they should make good use of it.

"Ahem, fellow kidnappers, is anyone going to pay me any attention?"

Yu Ling tentatively spoke up.

Silence reigned, and no one paid any attention.

The kidnapper turned off the camera and then sent the video to the location.

Then, one of the kidnappers scratched his head and began whispering to the person next to him.

"Damn! Old Wang, listen to that! That kid's voice sounds so familiar!"

"Oh, now that you mention it, it's true. His face does look familiar."

"Wait a minute... could this be the big star Han Hao?"

Upon hearing this, the kidnappers all turned around and saw Yu Ling looking at them with an innocent expression.

Everyone stared in astonishment.

"It really seems to be him!"

"I heard that someone can become famous just by criticizing Han Hao, I wonder if that's true."

"He's a professional at swearing, Han Hao has a really sharp tongue."

"Um, since we caught one more of him, will the employer give us more money?"

"..."

"..."

"Okay, I guess I was overthinking it."

Yu Ling could roughly guess from the fact that these kidnappers actually had time to chat that they probably didn't intend to kill her.

At most, they'll demand a ransom, or beat Lu Zelong up.

But what can you do when they're engaged in illegal and criminal activities?

Yu Ling hatched a wicked plan and tried to join their conversation:

"Brothers, aren't you going to teach this kid Lu Zelong a lesson?"

"How did you know?" the kidnapper A blurted out.

"Because that's what I think too! You all don't know this, but that bastard Lu Zelong..."

Yu Ling blinked in a fake manner and began to berate Lu Zelong for being a lecherous bastard who didn't even spare men and forced her to drink with him. She launched into a tirade against Lu Zelong, hurling insults at him as if he were some kind of animal, and that he was utterly inhuman.

This verbal attack was at least 30% as powerful as the original owner's, making Lu Zelong's face turn red with embarrassment.

Even the kidnappers were confused.

Why does this big star seem to hate Lu Zelong even more than his employer?

Listen to that! That's incredibly vulgar!

However, when they drugged Lu Zelong, the two of them were indeed sitting very close together in the private room.

"Wow, Lu Zelong, you're really brave! You can even bring yourself to kiss a celebrity like Han Hao, well, a very unique one!"

The kidnappers were struck by a new worldview and were full of praise.

"...Or do you actually enjoy being insulted?"

Lu Zelong: Bullshit! I'm just a looks-obsessed person, okay?! Who wants to be insulted like that?!

Yu Ling, who had just returned the blob of bad luck that had been taken from Lu Ze's head, was now causing trouble again.

"Today, several kidnappers avenged me, so I, Han Hao, will change my tune and must praise these great men! They are truly outstanding individuals, exceptionally handsome and capable..."

Yu Ling showered Yu Ling with a string of compliments, leaving herself hoarse from talking.
