Chapter 547: The kidnapper calls, to save or not (Part 2)
"Hmm? Still want to push?" Feeling the touch on his back, Lou Mingxin frowned without opening his eyes, "Your hands are too cold. Please fix them before serving the customers!"
"I'm sorry, I was negligent."
The man's voice was low and smiling, he was not a beautician at all!
Lou Mingxin suddenly opened her eyes, turned around, and the long scarf in front of her slipped down. She hurried to save it.
Unexpectedly, the man was quicker than him. He grabbed one end of the scarf and brought it to her chest, smiling slightly: "Boss Lou, this time, I've covered it up. If it falls again, I won't pull it. It's such a rare sight, it's hard to restrain myself from feasting my eyes..."
"You little brat! You're such a jerk!"
The young man approached her and squatted in front of her, keeping their eyes level. "Mr. Lou, you haven't contacted me in a long time. If I hadn't come today, would you not have contacted me?"
The young and handsome guy squatted in front of her humbly and respectfully, speaking soft words, his eyes full of grievance. Who wouldn't be soft-hearted?
Anyway, Lou Ming softened his heart.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
She had indeed forgotten him, half a month ago? Or was it half a year ago?
When she was accompanying her partner in Tianyu, she casually requested his station and didn't expect to find him here.
"You're quite clever." She patted his face.
But the man held her hand tightly and kissed each of her fingertips with tenderness in his eyes.
"Okay," Lou Mingxin said with a smile, "please stay with me tonight."
A look of joy flashed in the man's eyes. Everyone in the entire Tianyu knew that Mr. Lou was generous. Tomorrow, his buddies would envy him to death!
"Well, I'll wait here until you're done."
"Um."
"Then... shall I get you a glass of water?"
This is the VIP room, with food and drinks available. They said they were pouring water, but they were just passing the food over.
He wanted to act cute, and Lou Mingxin also enjoyed the feeling of being carefully served by a young man: "I want flower tea."
"Yes, yes, I know you like roses with a hint of orange peel the best."
"The little guy has a good memory."
Just as the man poured the scented tea and brought it over, Lou Mingxin's cell phone, which was placed on the chair, rang.
She grabbed it and it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Lou, good evening!" An obviously processed mechanical voice came from the other end.
Usually, only kidnappers will do this to conceal their voice characteristics and avoid having their voiceprints extracted by the police.
When she heard it, her heart sank.
But all these years hadn’t been lived in vain, so she quickly calmed down: “Who are you?”
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that your husband, Mr. Meng Zhiru, is in our hands now. Before dawn, prepare 50 million in cash. I will contact you again. Remember not to call the police, otherwise—you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"
After saying that, he hung up.
Lou Mingxin turned over and sat up, pulled his bathrobe over himself, his brain working rapidly.
Two minutes later, she found the number and called back.
I didn’t expect it to work.
Just when she thought no one would answer, "Mr. Lou, it seems you still have questions?"
"How can I know whether what you said is true or not? What if my husband is staying at home right now?"
"The video has been sent to your phone, please check it."
Lou Mingxin clicked it quickly, and it was indeed Meng Zhiru!
His face was covered in blood and he fell to the ground dying. The surrounding environment was blurred.
It seems the kidnappers are very cautious.
She picked up the phone again and put it to her ear: "I need to confirm that my husband is still alive."
"As expected of Mr. Lou, even at this moment, he's still clear-headed. Listen carefully—"
After a muffled sound, there was a man's suppressed cry of pain.
It is indeed Meng Zhiru, and he is still alive!
"Fifty million is not a small sum. We might not be able to collect it before dawn. Can we wait a day?"
"Boss Lou, this isn't a market. Bargaining isn't allowed here. Who in the entire capital doesn't know your wealth? No one would believe you if you said you had no money! Unless... you don't want to save your husband and you want us to kill him."
Lou Mingxin's eyes suddenly darkened: "Okay, before dawn."
The other end hung up with a bang.
She called Meng Zhiru's assistant: "...It's me, Lou Mingxin."
"Husband, Madam?!" There was some panic on the other end.
"Let me ask you, where is Meng Zhiru?"
"M-Boss Meng is... busy."
"What are you busy with?"
“…”
Lou Mingxin: "Speak!"
"Zhang, Mr. Zhang is setting up a plan and invites Mr. Meng to go..."
"Where did you go? You'd better not lie to me, otherwise, you know the consequences."
"They went to the Celestial Realm!"
Lou Mingxin sneered.
What else can a man do in the Heavenly Realm?!
Especially that pervert Meng Zhiru! Didn't he think she didn't know about the awful things he did outside?
She just turned a blind eye to it, since she already had more than one pet outside.
"Where is Meng Zhiru now?"
"Should, should already be in the hotel."
Ha! He's really not picky when it comes to taking a chicken to a hotel room!
No wonder he was kidnapped.
"Mr. Lou, do you have anything else to say?"
Lou Mingxin's eyes flashed: "Bring over your company's official seal, Meng Zhiru's personal seal, and all the securities and share certificates in the safe."
"R-now?"
"Yes, right now. You have half an hour to get there."
Second update, 2,000 words.
