Chapter 7 Chapter 7
Gu Ting almost died of laughter. "Is there a problem? You overestimate my character. As long as the other party pays me, I can directly erase the word "problem" from my life dictionary!"
Lin Mengmeng, who saw all this, said, "How I wish someone could see my vulnerability and transfer 30 million to me!"
Gu Ting gave a thumbs up: "When it comes to dreaming, you are still the best."
Min Qingluo said seriously, "What's thirty million? When I become an international superstar, I'll give you one hundred million!"
Gu Ting conceded defeat with a bow, "My two daring lords, I'm sorry for the disrespect!"
Lin Mengmeng and Min Qingluo both thought that Gu Ting was praising them, and nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Mengmeng: "Lolo, give me 100 million, and I'll give you 10,000."
Min Qingluo: "I've become a superstar, please carry my bag for me."
Gu Ting asked a soul-searching question: "...Why can't you give me the role of a billionaire in your imaginary world?"
Lin and Min looked at each other, and then Min Qingluo looked at her nails: "The new nails are really beautiful."
Lin Mengmeng put her arm around Gu Ting and said with a smile, "Tingting, you are the first one among the three of us to make a lot of money. Why don't you treat us to a meal?"
Gu Ting smiled sinisterly: "Please! Of course you must!"
Ten minutes later, Lin Mengmeng and Min Qingluo fell silent at the same time when faced with a bunch of grilled squids with bared fangs and claws in their hands.
While Gu Ting was chewing vigorously, she glanced at Lin Min and the others who were at a loss as to what to do with the grilled squid, and smiled secretly in her heart. She was so poor that she should act like a poor person.
The moment he turned around, a welfare lottery station appeared right in front of Gu Ting.
Gu Ting: What’s with this vague sense of fate?
Now that she's here, does she need these two dollars? Her family in the live studio said it well, she has this fortune, why doesn't she buy a lottery ticket?
Buy it! Buy it now!
However, she bought the lottery ticket not only to get rich, she was also curious whether she would win the prize tonight. If she won again, there would be only one explanation: it was related to the lottery before she traveled back in time.
After all, wealth is not something you can just pick up from flowers, grass or mushrooms on the ground. If she can win every time and pick up money every day, then she must have something extraordinary about her!
Gu Ting went to the lottery station first and randomly selected a series of numbers for two yuan. When Lin Mengmeng and Min Qingluo came in, Gu Ting said to them with the lottery tickets, "I've been very lucky recently. Do you want to buy a few tickets with my numbers?"
Lin Mengmeng and Min Qingluo looked at each other, both looking unimpressed.
Gu Ting snorted and laughed: "Don't regret it when I get rich."
When they came out of the lottery station, it was already late and it was too late to move today, so Gu Ting parted ways with Lin Mengmeng and Min Qingluo and went home.
Although she had signed an endorsement contract today, Gu Ting chose to take a few more buses as it was still light outside. After all, she had been poor for more than 20 years and had long been accustomed to it.
Coming out of the subway station and passing a river on the way to the bus stop, Gu Ting saw a person standing by the bridge from afar. The person had his head buried in the bridge, very quiet, and did not make any sound for a long time.
Gu Ting walked towards the afterglow of the setting sun. When he got closer, he found that the man was not silent. His shoulders were shaking uncontrollably, indicating that the owner of the shoulders was crying, but was crying in a suppressed manner. He might have cried too much, or he might not want to make any sound.
Gu Ting walked past her, went to the end of the bridge, and then turned back, patting the girl on the shoulder: "Would you like some water?"
The young girl raised her head and saw someone handing her a bottle of water. Looking up, she saw a gentle face.
The girl hesitated, her red and swollen eyes dull for a long time. After a long while, she politely declined, "No, thank you."
After saying that, she turned around and walked in the other direction with heavy steps. She walked very slowly, as if her body was filled with iron and lead, and even walking was very difficult.
Gu Ting stood there, staring at the slender figure for a long time, then suddenly ran after her and stuffed a lottery ticket into the girl's hand.
"This is my hope today, I give it to you." Gu Ting's eyebrows curved slightly.
Without waiting for the girl to react, Gu Ting broke into a run, facing the setting sun, facing the gentle breeze... Actually, he didn't have any special thoughts in his mind, he just wanted to make this girl feel less sad today. Once upon a time, he had also felt so powerless.
Gu Ting returned to the rental house and began to pack his things. After packing, he found that he didn't have many things, and the heaviest thing was the big sack of cash.
Gu Ting decided to send the sack to the police tomorrow and ask them to investigate its source. She always felt a sense of unease about the money.
Gu Ting was also tired and had forgotten to buy groceries. She came back and cooked some rice porridge and steamed an egg. She was ready to eat and then go to bed. While the porridge was cooking, Gu Ting opened the XX live broadcast software on his phone to check the background messages.
After last night's lucky draw, the number of fans increased to 3,000+ overnight, and there were countless private messages in the background. A considerable part of the content needed to be mosaiced. Gu Ting pinched her nose and glanced through it. Fortunately, after browsing for a few minutes, she finally found the news she wanted - the rich second-generation anchor assistant sent her a private message.
The other party said that the house that the rich second generation won in the lottery was in this city and that the transfer could be completed after the National Day holiday. After the transfer was completed, Gu Ting went to the rich second generation's live broadcast room to show his presence, proving that he had indeed obtained the house and that his employer had fulfilled its promise. Gu Ting naturally did not respond, and he felt in his heart that he was worthy of being a rich second generation. He was not ambiguous about spending money and was very efficient.
Both parties left their contact information and the matter was settled.
After resolving the matter, Gu Ting was about to turn off her phone and go to sleep when it suddenly rang in the darkness. The caller ID was Lin Yi. She knew Lin Yi was the undisputed number one star in Cheng Gong Entertainment, but she had no idea that Lin Yi and the fake Gu Ting had any connection. Although they had added each other as friends, there was no message exchange on their phones.
She answered the phone, her voice slightly sleepy: "Hello, Brother Yi, what's up?"
A chuckle came from the other side: "Can you shout again?"
Gu Ting had the expression of an old man on the subway checking his phone, full of disdain, and his tone lost its patience, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, hang up!"
"...Just kidding." Lin Yi laughed it off and said hesitantly, "Recently, there's a rumor in the company that you were cheated by your boyfriend and owe a lot of money? Tingting, if you are willing, I can help you, as long as you..." He didn't say the rest of the words, only the tone was ambiguous.
Gu Ting's face was filled with confusion. Where did this guy come from? He wanted to make a deal right away. If it weren't for the noise at night, she really wanted to scold him.
Gu Tingke didn't have the patience to flatter him, so he just said, "Go to bed!" and hung up the phone.
Gu Ting was too lazy to let irrelevant people affect his mood, so he put down his phone and fell asleep quickly.
Gu Ting woke up because of the numbness in her hands and feet. She tried several times before finally opening her eyes. However, the unfamiliar scene in front of her made her shudder, and all her sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and her mind became clearer than ever before.
Her surroundings were pitch black, lit only by a pale incandescent light hanging from a wire overhead. This was clearly not her rental apartment. Looking at herself, she lay on the ground, her hands and feet tightly bound, unable to move. No wonder her hands and feet were numb.
Gu Ting hurriedly looked down at his clothes and saw that he was still wearing the old pajamas with the huge words "Money Come" printed on them before going to bed. There was nothing unusual about his body, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Ting couldn't figure out the situation in a short time, so he simply continued to lie there, thinking while paying attention to the movements around him.
She had been in her rental apartment before she went to sleep, only to wake up to find herself tied up and thrown into a strange place. Isn't this kidnapping? If the person wanted money, the two million yuan in cash could have been taken away quietly by her bed. But why did they kidnap her? It's self-evident.
Gu Ting: Damn it! I knew I would die from this face sooner or later! If beauty were a sin, I would have already committed a grave sin.
Gu Ting's mind involuntarily began to rehearse how he would be tortured. At this moment, an extremely hoarse but pleasant bass voice broke the heart-pounding silence.
"How are you?"
Gu Ting continued to hold the corpse.
The rustling sound slowly approached until the slightly heavy breathing sound hung above her head. Gu Ting's hair stood on end, and she secretly gathered her strength, ready to give this person a big beating at any time.
But she waited and waited, but nothing inappropriate happened. She only felt someone knock on her shoulder hard, and the man's breath was slightly heavy, saying, "Wake up!"
Seeing that Gu Ting didn't respond, the man still didn't give up on "waking her up" and was very patient.
Gu Ting waited for a while, and when she saw that the man really didn't do anything out of the ordinary, she opened her eyes. However, her eyes were clear and bright, without any trace of sleepiness or confusion.
The man saw it all but didn't say anything. Instead, he explained to Gu Ting in a few words, "There are five kidnappers in this group. Two of them haven't been seen for over twenty hours, which means there should be three more here. It's three against two, so we're not without a chance. They kidnapped me for money. My family has paid the ransom, but they haven't let me go. They're probably going to kill me. You weren't their original target, so your chances of escaping are better than mine."
After saying this, he stared at Gu Ting without blinking, like an old wolf eagerly teaching a young wolf how to escape from a hunter's trap: "From now on, I hope you will work hard to overcome your fear, cheer up and look for opportunities! I will help you when the time comes."
Gu Ting's face was odd, and he sat down like a caterpillar, arching his back. He asked, "You're about to be killed, and you still have the mood to care about my life or death. What's your last name, Lei?"
When Gu Ting met the man formally for the first time, she found that the man in front of her was very handsome, with slightly messy black hair, a pale and tired face, dried blood at the corners of his lips, and a wrinkled and loose shirt... but it still couldn't hide his charm.
The man was a little surprised by Gu Ting's calmness. It wasn't forced calmness, but calmness that bordered on indifference. However, there was no time to delve into this. The man spoke quickly, "I suspect they'll probably deal with you and me before dawn today. They'll kill me, but you... might end up in a terrible situation."
Gu Ting lowered his eyes and let out a bitter laugh: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I was deceived by a scumbag and owed a large sum of money... I have no hope in life. If I really die here today, that is my fate. I accept it."
Gu Ting thought she had acted flawlessly. After a brief silence, the man said solemnly, "Miss, I am not an accomplice of these kidnappers. I don't like to play tricks on people. There's no need to test me anymore. The most urgent thing is for you and me to find a solution as soon as possible."
Gu Ting changed his expression and said seriously, "You're right!"
The man took a deep breath. Compared to himself, the woman in front of him looked more like an accomplice of the kidnapper who had infiltrated the hostage group, right?
The two of them were silent. At this time, there was a movement next door. The other party spoke very loudly, and the sound insulation of the house was poor. Every word they said fell into the ears of Gu Ting and the others.
"Is it settled?" His voice was rough, his attitude arrogant, and he was a little drunk.
