There was a hint of moldy smell mixed in the dull air, the surroundings were dead silent, and the eyes were pitch black.
Jiang Ranran's arms were tied to a pillar, a black bag was covered on his head, and a piece of cloth was stuffed in his mouth.
She had been standing here for three hours and was now sleepy and tired. The feeling of fatigue made Jiang Ranran feel drowsy, but just when she was about to doze off, a voice suddenly woke her up.
That was the sound of someone opening the big iron gate, because she had heard this sound when she came in.
Then, a beam of light appeared in front of her eyes, which made it difficult for her to open her eyes. Before Jiang Ranran could react, several people came over, untied her arms from the pillar, and pulled her in an unknown direction.
Jiang Ranran whimpered and tried to speak, but the other party did not remove the cloth stuffed in her mouth.
After walking left and right for a while, Jiang Ranran felt that the road was very long. Finally, they stopped.
Jiang Ranran felt that the temperature here was very warm and the air was very fresh. She had obviously been moved to a new environment. The place just now was simple and dirty, but now it felt very clean.
Although Jiang Ranran couldn't see it, she could smell it and feel it.
"Take off the ropes on her and the black cloth on her head." A man's voice sounded, which surprised Jiang Ranran, because all along she thought it was Lusha who attacked her, but this was actually a man, and judging from the voice, he was not young anymore.
Jiang Ranran's brain was working rapidly, countless faces were churning in her mind, and she wanted to pick out a face that might be someone who would attack her.
But even after the black bag in front of her and the ropes on her body were untied, she still couldn't guess who it might be.
When Jiang Ranran gradually got used to the bright light, she could see clearly the old man in front of her. His gray hair and solemn expression were not familiar to her. It was a completely unfamiliar face that she had never seen before.
Jiang Ranran frowned and was about to open his mouth to ask about the other party's identity, but the other party opened his mouth first.
"Ms. Jiang, you must be very surprised, because you don't know me at all, right?" The old man spoke with a smile. If he hadn't kidnapped her personally, just looking at his kind face, Jiang Ranran would never believe that such a kind old man would kidnap her.
Jiang Ranran had already faced the reality at this time. This seemingly kind old man was actually an unfathomable guy.
"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?" Jiang Ranran's eyes were full of vigilance. She couldn't figure out how she had offended him.
The smile on the old man's face suddenly stopped. As he looked at Jiang Ranran, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. "Ms. Jiang, I originally thought that you would at least be a well-educated, polite and kind person. But now it seems that you don't even have the most basic etiquette. This makes me even more disappointed."
Mr. Meng felt that being able to meet her in person was already giving her the greatest face.
Jiang Ranran couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "You invited me here in this way, and you still expect me to be polite to you? You're overthinking it."
"Do you know why I asked you to come here?" Old Master Meng knew that Jiang Ranran was right, so he stopped arguing with her about this issue and asked the key question instead.
Jiang Ranran smiled coldly: "This is exactly what I want to know."
"Okay, I won't waste my words with you. I'm Meng Xianchen's father. You can call me Old Meng. I heard that my son likes you and is determined to be with you. But I know you have a lover and three children, so I wanted to meet you specifically."
When Mr. Meng talked about this topic, he couldn't help but look solemn and serious. It was obvious that he was very unhappy.
Jiang Ranran never expected that she was arrested because of Meng Xianchen!
Jiang Ranran felt speechless and gave a helpless smile. "Old man, you should talk to your son instead of me, because I only feel grateful to Meng Xianchen. I don't like him."
"Are you sure? You don't have to pretend to be noble in front of me. You should know the strength of the Meng family." Old Master Meng obviously didn't believe Jiang Ranran's words.
Jiang Ranran was simply speechless. He opened the door for Wu Yu—Wu Yu was dead.
"Of course I'm sure, and didn't you just say that I have a lover?" Jiang Ranran felt that being kidnapped today was simply an unexpected disaster.
"But the Gu family's strength cannot be compared with the Meng family." Old Master Meng's conceited look made Jiang Ranran feel very uncomfortable.
Jiang Ranran laughed sarcastically and retorted, "But the Gu family is upright. How did the Meng family start and what kind of business do they have now? Do I need to tell you, Mr. Meng?"
This counterattack was indeed powerful. Mr. Meng seemed to believe Jiang Ranran's words a little, but not completely. He smiled and nodded: "Well, you are a woman with a sharp tongue. However, if you want me to believe you and let you go, I have to test you."
"How to test?" Jiang Ranran was not afraid at all.
Mr. Meng showed a satisfied look, but he didn't intend to give up. "Let me ask you, who do you love the most?"
Jiang Ranran said without even thinking, "Gu Tingchen."
"Don't you love the children?" Old Master Meng felt strange. He thought Jiang Ranran would say that she loved her three children the most.
Jiang Ranran smiled gently: "Of course I love children, but I know that children have their own happiness, and parents cannot accompany their children throughout their lives, and children will gradually drift away from their parents. But a partner is different, he can accompany you throughout your life."
"So, the one you love the most is Gu Tingchen?" Mr. Meng asked again as if to confirm.
Jiang Ranran nodded. She was sure that the person she loved most was Gu Tingchen, who was even more important than her own life.
Old Master Meng smiled and nodded, then asked someone to bring a large water tank. He smiled and said to Jiang Ranran, "Now I give you two choices. Either I take action against the Gu family, and Gu Tingchen and his company will be finished, or I let you die. Which one do you choose?"
"Are you sure you have the ability to finish Gu Tingchen off?" Jiang Ranran sneered in disbelief.
Mr. Meng pondered for a moment, curled his lips and said, "Even if it's impossible, at least both sides will suffer losses."
Jiang Ranran bit her lip. She knew that Mr. Meng was not joking and that the strength of the Meng family should not be underestimated. So she would rather let Mr. Meng torture her than let him attack Gu Tingchen.
"I choose to sacrifice myself." Jiang Ranran thought to herself, he wouldn't let her die, right? Even if she died, she would have saved Gu Tingchen, so it would be worth it.
