Lao Er unbuckled his belt and came towards me with a lewd, vengeful smile on his face. "Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well and let you have a good time before you die!"
He pulled me over hard and ripped open my collar.
"I haven't experienced what it's like to marry into a wealthy family. I think you must be very good at this. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to seduce the eldest son of the Zhou family and still cling to you even after the divorce."
My heart sank when I heard this.
They even knew about how we got along after our divorce, which showed that they had already done an investigation. It would be impossible to mislead them with any lies at this point.
"Don't you want money?"
"What do you mean by small amount of money? My boss said that this time I arrested you only for revenge, not for money." The second brother spat fiercely, "Although I really want money, I still have to listen to the boss."
But these words seemed to tear open a ray of light for me in the darkness.
I suppressed my fear and spoke calmly.
"I can give you money."
The second brother was stunned for a moment, "You woman are really full of lies. You said you had no money before, and now you say you have money?"
"Haven't you investigated me? You know I have a close relationship with the Zhou family. Although we're divorced, we haven't severed ties. As long as I borrow money from them, they will definitely lend it to me."
The second brother said viciously, "Didn't you say before that you two were divorced and that the eldest son of the Zhou family wouldn't pay any attention to you even if you asked for money? Aren't you contradicting yourself by saying this now?"
I looked at the playful smile on his face and knew that he was deliberately trying to choke me.
I simply admitted it. "At that time, our relationship was unclear, and he hadn't explicitly asked to remarry. He just came to pester me. I couldn't be sure what he was thinking. How could I rashly ask him for money? But now I know for sure that if he wants to remarry me, I can make any conditions. As long as you give me a chance and let me ask him."
"How can I ask you to ask him for help? And then send me to the police station too?"
This person is really difficult to deal with.
He kept pinching my chin and forcing me to look up. My neck was sore and painful, but I couldn't show any emotion on my face.
"You can arrange this matter completely. I'm willing to cooperate with whatever you want me to say to him. I just want to survive."
Maybe it was my humble appearance that touched him.
He reached out and patted my face.
The force was quite strong and it hurt my cheek a little.
"You woman, you are really a coward and afraid of death."
But the more he mocked me and refused to refuse outright, I knew there was still room for negotiation. Even if I had to endure his insults and beatings, I was willing to give it a try.
"Everyone wants to live. You want to live. I also want to buy my life with money. I think it's not a loss."
The second one looked at me with some surprise, "I didn't expect that a woman like you would think so clearly, but I don't want money now, I just want to sleep with you."
I pretended to be calm and said, "If you have money, you can have any woman you want. You can enjoy her to your heart's content."
He didn't speak.
I continued to persuade him, "Why would you give up such a great opportunity for a woman like me? Your boss and your brother seem uninterested in using me as a ransom. Then you can do it yourself, and all the money you get will be yours."
He suddenly pinched my chin hard.
I almost cried out in pain.
But looking at his expression, I knew he was thinking at the moment and I couldn't make any noise to disturb him.
Nor dare to interfere.
After a while, he suddenly let me go and fastened the belt that had been untied.
I knew it, it worked.
Sure enough, he looked down at me and said, "I can let you call him, but only one call. You ask him for money. If he sends the money to the place I arranged as promised, I will let you go. If I can't get the money..."
"Of course I can. If he doesn't want to take it, I can find someone else."
Although I don't know whether Han Qi has 10 million on hand, if I ask him, at least I will have a better chance of saving me.
At worst, I can find a way to pay back the money I spent later.
The second brother sneered, "You have quite a wide network of contacts."
I ignored his taunting, "So what are you going to do then? Your boss and that brother of yours will be guarding outside while I leave, right?"
"Don't worry, if I want to let you go, I can certainly do it. My brothers all trust me. I will secretly let you go and walk away from the back mountain, but how far you can run is none of my business."
I nodded.
So the second brother went to contact Zhou Chenyan.
He asked us to have a video call. On the phone, Zhou Chenyan looked at me and asked, "Where are you now?"
“I need 10 million.”
He was silent for a moment.
These few seconds of silence seemed like a century to me.
"Can."
He finally spoke.
It felt like a lifetime had passed, but when I glanced at the time on my phone, it was only one second.
I took a deep breath, my voice trembling.
"Thank you. I will find a way to pay you back later."
Zhou Chenyan pursed his lips and asked, "Where is the transaction?"
The second brother pointed the camera at the ground, and only a somewhat hoarse voice could be heard, "I'll send the transaction location to your phone later. Don't try to delay time by calling and let the police locate it. That will only harm your sweetheart."
"Don't worry, I won't."
Zhou Chenyan said calmly, "It's only 10 million. I can afford it. There's no need to make a fuss. But I do have a request."
