Chapter 117 Turning the Tables
The young man ignored their gazes and thoughts, and started taking off his clothes directly.
"You're a coward who dares to come out into the world! Taking off her clothes isn't asking you to kill her! You're scared by just a few words! What good are you!"
He swore constantly.
Luo Shu trembled, knowing she couldn't struggle; the more she struggled, the more he would beat her.
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Shu's coat was pulled down to her arm. Because her hands were tied behind the chair, the coat could only be held at her waist.
She was wearing a turtleneck underneath, which he couldn't take off, so he took out a military knife from his back pocket.
Luo Shu was terrified, tears streaming down her face...
"Young man, how much money do you want? I can give it to you, please don't use a knife..." she pleaded.
The young man smiled, placed one foot on her leg, bent over, and slapped her face with his gleaming military-grade knife.
Luo Shu trembled all over, the cold military knife gleaming with a chilling aura, truly afraid that he might make a mistake.
Her eyes were tightly closed, and she kept muttering, "I'll give you any amount of money you want, please, don't kill me..."
The young man scoffed, grabbed her collar with one hand, and cut it open with a knife in the other.
"Hey miss, don't move around too much. Swords have no eyes, you might ruin your face." A nonchalant tone.
Luo Shu shut her mouth, and tears streamed down her face.
Someone come and save me!
She was screaming hysterically inside.
Feeling the cold air seeping into her neck inch by inch, she dared not move.
All movement stopped as the young man's slippers left her legs.
Luo Shu cautiously opened her eyes and looked at the three young men in front of her.
Snow-white, rounded shoulders came into view.
Luo Shu cried even harder; she had never imagined that she would suffer such humiliation one day.
"Take pictures, take pictures..." The young man stammered as he pulled his phone out of his pocket and started snapping pictures of Luo Shu's face.
Luo Shu closed her eyes, not daring to look at his phone; her self-deception was utterly blatant.
Then, he made a phone call in front of Luo Shu.
The suspect has been apprehended and photos have been taken. As agreed, 100,000 yuan will be transferred first, and the photos will be sent shortly afterward.
[You poor bastard! You won't be shortchanged! Who knows if they've caught her! I need to hear her voice first!]
Luo Shu naturally didn't hear what was said on the other end.
Seeing the young man turn and walk towards her, she felt a wave of fear wash over her.
What else do they want to do?
"Miss, say something." The young man reached out and gently patted Luo Shu's face.
Luo Shu dared not disobey. She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Don't let me find out who you are! Otherwise... um!"
Before she could finish speaking, the young man grabbed her chin and whispered, "You've said too much, miss!"
After saying that, he carefully let go of her hand and reported back to the person on the phone.
[Did you hear that? Transfer the money!]
As soon as the phone call ended, a group of police officers rushed up, guns in hand. They moved swiftly and quickly, spreading out to take positions and securing the entire floor.
"Police! Don't move!"
Luo Shu seemed to see a glimmer of hope. She looked around and saw, besides the police officers dressed in formal attire, a man with dark eyes, a tense expression, and clenched teeth.
Ye Fou.
Luo Shu burst into tears.
He received a call! Finally, someone came to rescue her!
The three young men were startled by the sudden appearance of the military-grade knives in their hands, which fell to the ground and rose in a wisp of mist amidst the dust.
They raised their hands, squatted on the ground in panic, and were powerless to resist.
Ye Fou hurriedly ran towards Luo Shu, took off his coat, and covered her snow-white front with it.
"You're here... I thought you didn't answer the phone... um..." She was stunned.
Ye Fou disregarded all formalities and pressed her head into his arms, saying, "Alright, alright, stop crying. It'll make your face look messy."
He comforted her softly.
The policewoman standing nearby had already untied the ropes binding her hands and feet.
Luo Shu couldn't stand up. She felt trembling all over and couldn't support herself at all. She was still in a state of exhaustion.
The police asked them some questions, and they answered truthfully.
Just as they were about to leave, Luo Shu suddenly called out to the police officer. "I have a good idea that can help you solve the case as soon as possible."
The group looked at each other, and the team leader glanced at Ye Fou.
Ye Fou nodded.
The captain agreed.
Luo Shu stared at the young man with sharp eyes, "Call her and say that you've changed your mind and want to raise the price."
"..." The crowd was puzzled.
The young man looked at the police officer, who then kicked him, sending him sprawling to the ground. Startled, he immediately picked up his phone and called the other party.
He turned on the loudspeaker, and the people in the room held their breath.
Luo Shu borrowed Ye Fou's phone and had a police officer film the young man, and also had someone trace his phone number.
"The money has been transferred, when will the photos be sent?" The voice on the other end was rude and anxious.
Upon hearing the voice, Luo Shu immediately recognized it as Liao Xian.
Following Luo Shu's instructions, the young man adjusted his voice and responded in a somber tone: "I want to raise the price, otherwise, I'll not only cripple her hand, I'll kill her today!"
On New Year's Eve, her child was lost.
As she was being carried out of the private room on a stretcher, she vaguely saw Yu Zhan and Luo Shu's figures. She was unwilling to accept it!
I'm not happy that Luo Shu can have everything!
She was unwilling to accept that Luo Shu was better than her in everything!
Qin Heng was so angry that he vomited blood and was lying in the hospital, but his life was not in danger.
"Kill her? Hmph! Even better! I beg you to kill her! Want to raise the price? Dream on! I can add two dollars to help you kill her for me!"
Everyone present trembled.
Ye Fou frowned, his large hand stroking her shoulder intentionally or unintentionally.
Luo Shu's fingers trembled as she typed on her phone.
The young man glanced at the words on her phone and swallowed hard.
【Don't want to add it? No problem! I'll send the photos to Qin Heng right away!】
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, and you could hear people throwing things and cursing on the other end of the phone.
Luo Shu gripped her phone tightly, and everyone was waiting for Liao Xian's response.
[Damn it! Who the hell are you?! How dare you mess with me!]
"One million, you have two minutes!" The young man's ruthlessness vanished after he hung up the phone, leaving him pale with fright.
The captain looked at Ye Fou, then at the trembling woman in his arms.
The kidnapping case was turned into a spy thriller, and he had to admire the woman in front of him; her plan was simply flawless.
This case was solved rather quickly.
"Shouldn't this be over?" a police officer asked from the side.
"Wait a little longer," Luo Shu replied softly.
For some reason, she wanted to know an answer.
She wanted to know if Qin Heng truly loved her to that extent, and also if Liao Xian's love for Qin Heng had been constant from beginning to end.
Although it was absurd, and it didn't concern her anymore whether it was true or not, she still wanted to know.
Just like Mubu.
Is it really possible for someone to love another person to the point of mental distortion?
In less than two minutes, the young man received a transfer of one million yuan on his phone.
"Block her number, then send the photo to Qin Heng, call him and tell him to transfer one million to the orphanage, or else we'll kill her." Luo Shu said calmly as she dialed Qin Heng's number on her phone.
The others were confused. The captain tried to stop them, but Ye Fou gave him a look, and everyone fell silent.
The young man picked up his phone.
