Chapter 61 Let's go play with some young ladies first.
Despite her desperate resistance, Su Xi was easily pinned down and bound hand and foot by several men. The rough hemp rope instantly broke the skin on her ankles and wrists, and the pain pierced her heart.
There was tape stuck to its mouth, wrapped around it several times.
The cold, hard adhesive tape tightly bound her cheeks and hair. With each wrap, the force tightened, and the discomfort and fear almost overwhelmed Su Xi.
Until her nose was also entangled, and the air was instantly cut off, Su Xi's eyes revealed immense terror and despair, and her heart almost stopped.
The scarred man grinned as he watched the woman's beautiful face turn from red to green, then from green to purple, until she was on the verge of death, at which point he reached out and ripped the tape off.
"Behave yourself, or I'll have a thousand ways to torture you."
Seeing that the woman had no intention or courage to resist, the man smiled crookedly with satisfaction and directed the two men to lift Su Xi horizontally and walk through the dark and cold passageway to a small, enclosed garage.
The dim yellow lights turned on, making the cramped garage look like a slaughterhouse, which made Su Xi's heart clench in horror.
She tried her best to remain calm and dared not resist in any way. If she angered these three vicious men, her fate would only be worse.
The scarred man opened the trunk of the Santana 2000, and the other two lifted Su Xi out and threw her in. The hood was then closed.
The trunk was dark and the air was foul. The cramped and confined space forced Su Xi to curl up as much as possible. During the long and bumpy ride, Su Xi's breathing became increasingly labored, her stomach churned, and she felt so uncomfortable that she almost fainted.
Finally, the car stopped. The moment the hood opened, Su Xi realized that it was pitch black outside, and she couldn't see her hand in front of her face.
She took a deep breath, and the next second, she was roughly lifted up and transferred to an ordinary-looking van.
The back seats were removed, and Su Xi lay directly on the cold, hard metal. One person drove while the other two watched Su Xi with lewd eyes and occasional smirks.
"Is this young woman really worth 1 billion?"
"We'll haggle. Even if you give us 100 million, that's enough for us to live a carefree life for several lifetimes."
One of them groped Su Xi's neck hard. "I hope your husband cares about you. If he doesn't bring the money tonight, we'll cut off one of your ears. If he doesn't bring it tomorrow, we'll cut off your nose. If he dares to call the police, don't blame us for killing you."
"No way, just chop off a finger and send it over. We can't touch that pretty face. Our brother said he'd let us brothers have some fun. We've never tasted the flavors of a rich man's wife before, hahaha..."
Su Xi kept her eyes closed, trying her best to minimize her presence. These people dared to show their true colors in front of her; they must have already planned to kill her to silence her.
This was a premeditated and meticulously planned crime; this time, she's likely in grave danger.
At 9 p.m., Feng Jue had just stepped out of the group's building when he saw Feng Jinchen walking towards him menacingly.
"Uncle, Su Xi is missing. Did you hide her?"
His men couldn't find Su Xi anywhere. The only one with the ability and the inclination to do so was probably Feng Jue.
Seeing that the man didn't seem to be acting, Feng Jue said coldly, "Liu Cheng."
"Understood." Liu Cheng hurriedly went to the side to make a phone call.
Feng Jue asked about Su Xi's disappearance in detail. Liu Cheng also came over, looking serious. "President Feng, we found the surveillance footage outside the hospital. Miss Su was abducted by a fake pregnant woman. We only tracked down a Santana, and then there was no more footage of her."
"This might be a kidnapping. Has anyone sent you a ransom note?"
Feng Jinchen looked shocked and hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, "No."
Returning to the president's office, Feng Jue appeared calm and collected, and in a deep voice told Feng Jinchen to think carefully about what was unusual. The latter still frowned and shook his head.
"Let me see your phone."
Taking the phone, the man's long, slender fingers moved quickly, and he soon restored a deleted text message.
The man's pupils contracted slightly. Feng Jinchen sensed something was wrong and leaned closer. His dark pupils instantly trembled.
It really was a ransom text message.
“Mr. Feng, your wife is in my hands. Tonight at midnight, you must come to Wawushan alone with a 1 billion yuan anonymous bank card to ransom her. If you don’t bring the ransom, we’ll send you a hand, then a foot, until you deliver the money. If you dare to call the police or tell anyone else, you can expect to collect her body.”
"How could this be? Who deleted the text message? Could it be..." Feng Jinchen suddenly thought of Wu Yaoyao. Today, no one but her could have touched his phone.
Seeing Feng Jinchen's furious expression, as if he wanted to confront someone, Feng Jue said coldly, "I checked, it's the phone's automatic blocking."
The person who deleted the text messages might also be one of the kidnappers; we absolutely cannot alert them. We can settle scores later after rescuing Su Xi.
Seeing that the man had calmed down, Feng Jue said in a deep voice, "It's already ten o'clock, there are still two hours left, we must prepare as soon as possible."
The two men each instructed their special assistants to prepare the money and cards. They mobilized all their connections and networks to persuade financial institutions to make an exception and operate.
The phone rang again.
"You rich people are really stingy. Playing dead, huh? Fine, I'll chop off one of Su Xi's hands right now."
In his haste, Feng Jinchen made a call, but the other party hung up immediately. Clearly, they didn't want to leave any audio evidence.
Feng Jue snatched the phone and quickly typed, "I just saw the message. I'll prepare 1 billion immediately. If Su Xi loses even a single hair, you won't get a penny."
"Don't worry, we just want the money. Remember, Feng Jinchen, you're coming to Wawu Mountain by yourself."
Upon seeing the text message, Feng Jinchen's pupils contracted. Wawu Mountain was rugged and treacherous, rife with supernatural tales; many climbers had never returned.
If he goes, he'll likely not only fail to rescue Su Xi, but will also be sent to his death.
Staring at the man's expression, Feng Jue's voice was deep, "You don't want to go?"
"I...I'm afraid I'll get lost, and I don't know how many of them there are. Maybe...we should call the police?"
"We can't call the police. If there's an undercover agent among us, and the information gets leaked, Su Xi's life will be in danger."
Feng Jinchen's face was contorted with worry. He desperately wanted to save Su Xi, but he wasn't confident he could do it.
Moreover, this is clearly a dead end, or even a trap.
Seeing the man hesitate, and knowing there was no time to lose, Feng Jue typed directly, "I am Su Xi's uncle, Feng Jue. Feng Jinchen is not feeling well, so I'll go myself. I'll only give you the money after I see Su Xi."
The other party quickly replied, "Didn't we say you weren't allowed to tell anyone else? You can come if you want, but this is the last warning. If a third person finds out, you'd better prepare body bags."
After sending the message, the three kidnappers on the precipitous mountaintop, their faces illuminated by the blue light of their phones, each possessed a sinister and terrifying quality, occasionally letting out wicked laughs.
These rich people are really foolish and have too much money; they give away 1 billion just like that.
The money will go into underground casinos, and after it's laundered, they and Bu Cuihong will each get two or three hundred million.
The scarred man stood up. "I'll go mess with that little wench first. You guys sharpen those knives, and when that man comes, take the money and send that couple to meet their maker."
