Upon hearing this, Pang Lou, who had been hesitating, pointed at Chu Jiahe and then at Fang Heng: "Come up here, or get out."
Chu Jiahe broke free from Fang Heng's restraints and walked towards the roof of the factory building.
Fang Heng said, "Since it's a hostage exchange, how can I leave if you don't give me my people?"
The man with the buzz cut stood guard at the entrance, using a knife to block Chu Jiahe from coming up.
Chu Jiahe looked at the bound girl, his brow twitching slightly: "Can we change her now?"
"Young Master Chu, please don't worry, just wait a moment." Pang Lou took out his phone and dialed Lu Zhengqian's number, but to his surprise, the call didn't go through.
The billion yuan hasn't even arrived yet, and Lu Xintang has already transferred it. What will happen to the money?
Pang Lou sent a voice message. In order to get the money, he didn't call Fu Yuanshan, but said, "Chairman Lu, transfer the money right now."
After waiting for half a minute, there was still no response from the other end of the phone.
Pang Lou threatened, "Chairman Lu, you'd better think this through. Don't regret it later for a little money. If I were to sleep with your precious daughter in front of the eldest young master of the Chu family, do you think he would still want her?"
"How dare you!" Chu Jiahe was instantly enraged.
Fang Heng warned, "Pang Lou, if you act recklessly, I can't guarantee that Young Master Chu will still be willing to save Miss Lu."
Mo Huaixing, who was sitting in the corner, finally spoke up, "Master Pang, saving your life is the most important thing. Take them with you. If you can't read them, I'll read them for you."
Chu Jiahe said, "How much do you want? I'll give it to you."
"I want his money!" Pang Lou roared. He had brought him to this state, yet he still sat alone on the high platform, all high and mighty, with the Chu family as his backer. In an instant, hatred overwhelmed his reason.
Pang Lou held a gun to Gan Tang's head with one hand and viciously pinched Gan Tang's chest with the other.
Pain and shame spread through her limbs and bones. Gan Tang raised her leg to kick Pang Lou, but Pang Lou stepped on Gan Tang's foot, blocking her legs, and slapped her, his hands becoming even more unrestrained.
Gan Tang hurriedly said, "If you do this, my dad won't be able to see it. Take a video and send it to my dad. My dad loves me very much, he will definitely save me."
Yeah! How could I have forgotten about that?
But he no longer had a third hand, and his two henchmen were each watching over someone. Pang Lou put his phone in his mouth.
Gan Tang said, "Untie my hands and I'll hold the phone for you so you can take a clear picture."
Seeing Pang Lou hesitate, Gan Tang teased him, "What, you're a grown man, are you afraid of me?"
"What a joke!" Pang Lou raised his hand and untied Gan Tang's hands. Suddenly, Gan Tang pulled out a small knife from her belt and stabbed it into Pang Lou's heart.
The small knife hidden in her belt was only half the length of an index finger. Although Gan Tang stabbed it accurately, it wasn't a fatal blow. Pang Lou didn't expect that even with a gun to her head, she would still dare to stab him. He staggered back a step, angrily raising his gun.
With a bang, Fang Heng shot Pang Lou in the right wrist, and Pang Lou's gun flew out of his hand. Pang Lou hurriedly dove to the ground and tried to grab the pistol.
The factory building had a low wall around its roof, from which Fang Heng could no longer see Pang Lou.
At the same time, Chu Jiahe parried the short-haired man's long knife and rushed forward to kick the pistol away. The short-haired man's long knife followed, and Chu Jiahe dodged to the side. Then he saw Pang Lou go around to the back of the ventilation duct and rush towards Xin Tang.
It was a mad dog with its claws outstretched, devouring flesh and drinking blood. Gan Tang frantically cut the rope around her waist with a short knife.
At that very moment, Mo Huaixing kicked the curly-haired man who was looking at him to the ground, and spat out a razor blade to quickly cut the rope on his feet.
The curly-haired man flipped over and slashed at Mo Huaixing again. Mo Huaixing kicked him in the knee, causing the curly-haired man to lose his balance and fall forward. Using the trajectory of the blade, Mo Huaixing turned around and cut the rope on his hands.
Just as Pang Lou was about to grab Gan Tang's ankle, Mo Huaixing snatched the machete from the curly-haired man's hand and flew it out from the ground. Pang Lou withdrew his arm to dodge and reached for Gan Tang again.
The rope around her waist snapped, and Gan Tang hurriedly dodged Pang Lou's black claws, running towards Mo Huaixing. At this moment, Chu Jiahe had already knocked down the crew-cut man and was running towards his beloved girl.
Just as he was about to embrace her, a figure swept past him and rushed into the arms of Mo Huaixing, who had arrived shortly after.
With a bang, Fang Heng raised his gun and shouted, "Everyone, get down!"
The world fell silent instantly, followed by a loud alarm, but Gan Tang could hear nothing.
The faint warmth, carrying the scent of fresh grass, flowed into her cold body, gradually warming her stiff shell. In that instant, she realized she was still alive.
Mo Huaixing held the trembling girl in his arms tightly. She was soaked to the bone, and her coldness was heartbreaking. He wanted to hold her like this forever, never letting her experience hardship again. But when he saw Chu Jiahe beside him, he dared not hold her anymore.
That was the man she had been longing for. If she hadn't been afraid and mistaken him for someone else, why would she have run to him? He didn't want her to have any regrets, so he reminded her, "Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Young Master Chu."
Gan Tang lifted her head from his embrace, turned to look at Chu Jiahe, and was overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of guilt that filled her with fear and made her shrink back. She dared not look at him, but simply lowered her head, avoiding his gaze.
"Jiahe... Brother, thank you."
"My sister is alright, and I can finally face my mother with a clear conscience." Chu Jiahe smiled gently and turned to leave. Gan Tang watched the lonely figure on the rugged road, choked with sobs, unable to utter another word. She turned and threw herself into Mo Huaixing's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
At that moment, she didn't want to think about anything else; she just wanted to hold him and vent her emotions without restraint.
After Fang Heng finished directing the scene, he looked at the two who were still hugging each other and reminded them, "You two come with me!"
Mo Huaixing draped his suit jacket over Gan Tang, then picked her up and carried her to the police car driven by Fang Heng. Inside the car, Gan Tang curled up against him, her arms wrapped around his neck, like a frightened yet docile little white rabbit.
The warmth of the heating gradually drove away the cold. Mo Huaixing reached out to take off the coat draped over her shoulders, but Gan Tang quickly grabbed him.
"It's cold!" Mo Huaixing coaxed softly. Although his coat was drier than hers, it was still wet from the rain and felt very uncomfortable against her skin.
"No!" Gan Tang shook her head.
Mo Huaixing's gaze drifted slightly downwards. Her clothes were disheveled, and the most vulnerable parts of her upper body, no longer covered by underwear, revealed faint bruises.
He hurriedly averted his pained gaze and helped her cover herself with her clothes.
A long line of cars drove into the town, where thousands of lights shone, creating a scene that was both cool and warm.
Fang Heng reminded him, "It's so late, it might be inconvenient to go back to Jinhai." It would take at least four hours on the highway.
"Shh!" Mo Huaixing whispered a reminder, looking at the sleeping girl in his arms, and said softly, "Let's go to the hospital!"
"I'm not going to the hospital!" Gan Tang kept her eyes closed, seemingly talking in her sleep, but the hand gripping his shirt tightened.
At an intersection, Fang Heng separated from the police car in front of him, turned right, and eventually stopped in front of a hotel.
