Chapter 88: Day 88 of Madness How dare you touch my woman? ...
Chapter 88
In late August, the cicadas seemed to know that summer was coming to an end and they chirped even louder.
In the dusty unfinished building, even though there was ventilation on all sides, Tan Mo was sweating all over. Being pushed and shoved by people, the sweat on her body turned into muddy water left and right.
Two days have passed since the kidnapping.
During these two days, Tan Mo didn't eat anything, drank very little water, and closed her eyes weakly.
"Long San, give them some water, don't let anyone die." Tan Mo heard the voice and slowly opened her eyes.
She noticed that the man named Long San was the one sitting in the passenger seat that day, and he was striding towards her.
He first kicked Xiang Nuan who was sleeping. Xiang Nuan opened his eyes in pain and was about to scream when he realized that the pair of smelly socks were still stuffed in his mouth. He felt even more desperate.
Long San was too lazy to pay attention to this lunatic. He was about to kick Xu Xiaonian to wake her up. Fortunately, when Xiang Nuan made some movement, Xu Xiaonian rolled over and sat up.
And he signaled Long San with his eyes, "I'm awake, awake."
Seeing that their mouths were stuffed with cloth strips, Long San said irritably, "How long will it take to feed them one by one?"
He said to Tan Mo, "I'll help you untie them. You give them water. If you dare to run or scream, I'll break your legs. Got it?"
Tan Mo nodded obediently.
A few minutes later, Tan Mo regained her freedom and loosened her wrists.
She was indeed thirsty, and she easily drank half the bottle by herself. Under the watchful eyes of the other two, she first fed Xu Xiaonian some water.
Next came Xiang Nuan.
When she thought that Xiang Nuan's mouth was stuffed with a smelly sock that had not been washed for three months, Tan Mo suppressed her nausea, pinched a corner of the sock and loosened it for her.
Then he gulped down some water for her.
Xiang Nuan was busy rinsing her mouth and spat out the first few mouthfuls of food.
"It's so disgusting. I don't even know if there are any bacteria or viruses. It feels even more disgusting after I loosened it up. My internal organs are resonating with my mouth."
"It's better to keep plugging it in."
Long San was really annoyed with this person. He had no respect for killers like them. He said it was a kidnapping, so did he have to stuff her mouth with sterilized silk from a high-end store?
"Then stuff it in." Long San instructed Tan Mo.
Xiang Nuan quickly shook her head and waved her hands, "No, no, no, I just said nonsense, I won't say it again, Tan Mo, don't force it on me."
Tan Mo pointed at herself and asked, "You want me to stuff it in?"
Long San, "If you don't put it in her mouth, I'll put it in your mouth."
So Tan Mo picked up the smelly socks without saying a word and stuffed them into Xiang Nuan's mouth again.
Xiang Nuan: ...
After Tan Mo gave them water, she sat back down.
Another killer ordered Long San: "Tie her up."
Tan Mo didn't want to lose her freedom so early, so she asked, "Can you give us something to eat? We haven't eaten for a long time."
"Pockmarked?" Long San asked what Pockmarked meant.
It is obvious that this man named Mazi is the core figure and the leader.
Ma Zi thought for a while, picked up a bag from his side and threw it towards Tan Mo.
Stir up a cloud of dust.
Long San smiled and continued smoking with Ma Zi.
The bag contained cheap biscuits and small loaves of bread. Tan Mo rummaged through them for a while and picked out the good ones.
Long San looked at it and said sarcastically, "You're about to die, and you're still picky. You're really precious."
Tan Mo ignored her and fed Xu Xiaonian biscuits while observing the terrain.
They were on the third floor of an unfinished building, their view blocked by the woods not far away, so Tan Mo had no idea where they were.
She asked Long San: "When will you let us go?"
Long San jokingly said, "Once I get the money, I will let you go."
"What money? Qin Xiao's money?" Tan Mo asked, "Or money from both sides?"
"You are not that stupid, woman..."
Long San was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by Ma Zi, "She's trying to trick you, idiot."
"I know, I'm not stupid." Long San said with shame and unconvinced.
Tan Mo took the opportunity to say, "How about this: Whatever amount others offer for our lives, we'll pay double."
Xiang Nuanwuwu agreed.
Long San: "Aren't you driving up prices?"
Xu Xiaonian whispered, "You're already in this line of work, do you still care about prices?"
Long San said: "Of course, being a killer also requires a conscience."
Tan Mo: "Since you're so concerned about conscience, then let us die knowingly. Who wants to kill us?"
“Mo…”
Ma Zi immediately stopped him again, "You idiot! You're being tricked again!"
"Brother..." Long San pointed at Tan Mo aggrievedly, "It's all because of this cunning woman."
Ma Zi stared at Tan Mo with his murky, sharp eyes and said sinisterly, "If you say another word of nonsense, I'll stuff my stinky socks that haven't been washed for six months into your mouth."
"I won't dare to do that anymore, brother." Tan Mo stopped and retreated to Xu Xiaonian's side.
Xiang Nuan whimpered and looked at him, "Not fair, not fair! Why did she only need a warning, while I actually got stuffed with smelly socks?"
Xu Xiaonian asked Tan Mo fearfully, "What should we do? Will we really be safe? Tan Mo, I'm so scared. Do you think Lie and the others know we're here?"
"Don't worry, even if they are not here, I will get you out safely." Tan Mo comforted.
In fact, just last night, she suddenly remembered that she had a system, so she contacted the system with a try-it attitude and called the police. However, Tan Mo was not sure where they were being held, so the police still haven't found the location.
Even though she reported the incident to the police through the system, it cost her three million yuan.
What a morally corrupt system that makes this kind of money.
Forget it, think about it, her life is still worth three million.
But when she thought about spending an extra one million to unlock the plot of "One Birth, Seven Treasures: Mr. Xiao, Please Be Gentle on Your Cruelty", Tan Mo felt pained again.
Unfortunately, in order to save myself, I had to spend this money.
In the original novel, Xiang Nuan also experienced this kidnapping incident, which became the fuse for the breakdown of the relationship between Xiang Nuan and Qin Xiao.
Of course, the most important thing is that Xiang Nuan was finally saved.
Under the guidance of the system, Tan Mo sorted out the plot. Although she and Xu Xiaonian were unlucky to be arrested together, they were not so unlucky that anything would happen.
Tan Mo couldn't tell Xu Xiaonian the details, so she softly comforted him again, "Don't be afraid, we will definitely get out safely."
Xu Xiaonian wiped away her tears with her arm, firmed her belief, and nodded.
She believed in Tan Mo.
A cell phone rang rapidly in the quiet and empty place. Ma Zi picked up the phone. Tan Mo heard him hum a few times but didn't say much.
After a few minutes, Ma Zi hung up the phone and said, "Your rescuers are coming soon."
An hour later, when they saw Qin Xiao appear at the scene alone with Erliuzi, Tan Mo and Xu Xiaonian were devastated.
Tan Mo: "Isn't there anyone in the Qin family who can come and keep the place in check?"
Xu Xiaonian wanted to cry but had no tears. "That's right, Qin Xiao came here, is he hoping that we will die faster?"
The moment Xiang Nuan saw Qin Xiao, tears welled up before she could speak. The longing and joy she wanted to express were all in her eyes.
When Qin Xiao saw Xiang Nuan, he wanted to rush over immediately.
Ma Zi walked slowly between the two of them, like the Queen Mother separating the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, have you brought everything I want?"
Qin Xiao snorted disdainfully, "It's just 30 million. You really look down on my woman's status in my heart. Don't even mention 30 million. Even if it's 300 million, I will give it to her."
Long San said regretfully, "Brother, you heard me, right? I told you thirty million is too little! Qin Xiao can give you three hundred million!"
Qin Xiao ordered Erliuzi, "Throw it over there, let them open their eyes, these country folks who have never seen the world."
Qin Xiao originally wanted Erliuzi to throw the money over in a cool and handsome manner, but Erliuzi put the purse on the ground, kicked it hard, and then the purse only moved forward a few millimeters.
Qin Xiao: ... "What's wrong with you? Don't you want to save face?"
"Master Xiao," Erliuzi said helplessly, "a hundred-yuan note weighs 1.15 grams, so one million yuan weighs about 23 kilograms. Thirty million yuan is about 690 kilograms."
"An average adult man weighs about 70kg, so 690kg is equivalent to five adult men. Love doesn't require you to throw five adults at once, so try it yourself."
Qin Xiao said weakly: "Ah? It's so heavy, I didn't know it was that heavy."
Erliuzi: "You know nothing."
Tan Mo: ...
Xu Xiaonian: ...
Long San: ...
The corner of Xu Xiaonian's mouth twitched: "I told you earlier, if Qin Xiao comes, we will die faster."
Ma Zi said to Long San expressionlessly, "Now you know why I didn't ask for 300 million. 30 million is so heavy, how can we move 300 million?"
Long San admired: "Brother, you are really thoughtful."
Tan Mo was speechless. This kidnapping seemed to have turned into a street vendor. She said to Xu Xiaonian and Xiang Nuan, "Let me untie you first."
"Oh my god." Xu Xiaonian seemed to have just woken up, "Just now, that Long San released you and didn't tie you up again."
Tan Mo spread her hands and said, "I told you before, this is just a makeshift kidnapping operation."
Xiang Nuan made anxious noises, signaling Tan Mo to untie the ropes on her feet first.
Xu Xiaonian said indifferently: "Help her first."
Tan Mo first helped Xiang Nuan untie the rope on her feet. After the hemp rope that had been shackled Xiang Nuan like an iron chain was loosened, Xiang Nuan ran towards Qin Xiao without saying a word.
"Brother Xiao, you're finally here! I thought I was going to be sickened to death by those stinky socks and that I'd never see you again in this life." Xiang Nuan launched herself into Qin Xiao's arms like a cannonball, tears streaming down her face as she said aggrievedly, "They actually stuffed stinky socks that hadn't been washed for three months into my mouth."
Qin Xiao hugged her and said, "Now that it's stuffed in your mouth, how do you speak now?"
Well?
Xiang Nuan was stunned on the spot, she stopped crying, and her tears froze on her eyelashes.
She felt that what Qin Xiao said made sense, so how come she could speak suddenly?
Tan Mo didn't even pull the smelly socks out of her mouth just now.
And her hands were still tied.
Xiang Nuan slowly turned her head and looked at Tan Mo. Tan Mo opened her mouth wide and looked at her in shock.
Tan Mo said in a voice that didn't bear to expose the truth, "I just saw you spit out the stinky socks from your mouth."
"Ah~ That's okay." Xiang Nuan felt a lot more relaxed. She was wondering what else she was thinking.
"That means you can spit it out yourself, without having to be stuffed with smelly socks that haven't been washed for three months."
Xiang Nuan: ...
When the truth is revealed, "yue"
The scene was filled with endless cheers.
Tan Mo and Xu Xiaonian couldn't help vomiting either.
"Piss—piss—" There was a slight movement at the windowsill. If Tan Mo had not been sensitive to sound and heard a faint sound amid the repeated sounds of vomiting, Lu Xingjian would have hung there at the windowsill for a long time.
Tan Mo turned around and saw Lu Xingjian. She was startled. After calming herself down a little, she hurried over.
"You climbed up this high place?"
Lu Xingjian nodded. A low voice came from beneath him, "Stop chatting and get up quickly. I'm afraid of heights."
Tan Mo pulled Lu Xingjian up, with ropes and tools tied to his body.
After Lu Xingjian stood still, he quickly removed the tools and tied them to Tan Mo, "You go down first."
"Wait." Tan Mo blocked her, "Let me untie Xu Xiaonian first."
"Let me help you."
Every second is precious and must be seized.
Lu Xingjian's plan was to have Qin Xiao come forward to attract the kidnappers' attention and delay the process as much as possible. He and Nangong Lie rescued Tan Mo and Xu Xiaonian, and then moved them away.
Nangong Lie's arms were shaking like sieves, and he was afraid he would not have the strength to drag on any longer. He climbed onto the edge of the windowsill and shouted at the top of his lungs, "What help do you need? Help me first."
Lu Xingjian was called back halfway, and he slammed on the brakes, then turned around and ran towards Nangong Lie, pulling Nangong Lie up. When both of them rushed towards Xu Xiaonian, Tan Mo had already loosened the rope on Xu Xiaonian's feet.
On Qin Xiao's side, the battle was at a stalemate.
Xiang Nuan has gone crazy since she found out that the kidnappers didn't stuff her smelly socks tightly enough and she had the opportunity to vomit but didn't notice.
She burst into tears and was filled with rage. "Brother Xiao, how can I bear this? Kill them quickly! Kill them and avenge me!"
"Kill us?" Long San suddenly pulled out a gun from his pocket as if he had heard a joke, pointing the black muzzle at them. "Watch carefully, who's going to kill who?"
Xiang Nuan's crying stopped abruptly.
Ma Zi also took out the gun from his waistband and said, "Since the money has been delivered, there is no need to keep you."
Erliuzi shouted, "How dare you go back on your word? Didn't you say you would let him go as long as you paid the money?"
"Oh, did I tell you that?" Ma Zi said shamelessly, "You believe what people like us say. Let me tell you the truth, someone has bought your lives. Even if I don't want to kill you, there's nothing I can do."
Qin Xiao's eyes were cold, "You should take a look outside first, and then decide who will kill whom."
Long San turned around and was about to run to the window to check when he saw Tan Mo and the others halfway through their escape. He hurriedly shouted, "Brother, the other two have escaped."
Ma Zi immediately fired two shots, and the bullets exploded not far behind Tan Mo. Tan Mo felt a tightness behind her and ran away with her head in her hands: "Damn it, are they serious?"
No, this is an old-fashioned romance that doesn't make sense!
Why is it real?
It's not safe to travel through books.
System: "Didn't I tell you this a long time ago? This is a XXX romance novel. Qin Xiao is the XXX boss, and Xiang Nuan is the boss's woman."
Tan Mo was on the verge of tears. "No wonder the country banned this kind of subject matter. It's a good thing they banned it!"
As an outstanding young woman who grew up under the socialist red flag, she really didn't want to be transmigrated into a book where pornography, gambling, drugs, incest and adultery were rife.
Not only did Tan Mo scream, but Lu Xingjian and Nangong Lie were also stunned.
"Shouldn't we ask him to delay as much as possible?"
"Did he delay?"
"What a stupid teammate."
"I told you long ago, don't go on this kind of dangerous mission with Dian Gong. When he gets mad, he even beats himself up."
Lu Xingjian grabbed Tan Mo's hand and said, "This way."
Gunshots were heard in the empty room, and chaotic footsteps were immediately heard outside the building. Without looking, one could tell that they were Qin Xiao's men.
Long San moved closer to Ma Zi, their backs pressed against each other, "Brother, what should we do now?"
Qin Xiao was used to this kind of situation; he was the only one who remained calm. He spoke calmly, "I advise you to put down your guns now. Perhaps I can still give you a chance to survive. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do."
"Humph." A drop of sweat rolled down the corner of Ma Zi's eyes, and his throat rolled. "Are you so good? I don't believe it."
"Well, let's make a deal." Qin Xiao changed the subject again. "You just said someone wanted you to kill us. Who is this person?"
Ma Zi looked at Qin Xiao steadily, seeming to be hesitating.
Long San said anxiously, "Brother, you can't tell me. As assassins, we must also be honest."
"Wow, Long San's exquisite personality is really standing firm." Xu Xiaonian couldn't help but sigh.
"What are you still sighing about!" Tan Mo shouted nervously, "Let's go, let's run away first."
Things turned out like this. Tan Mo originally wanted to stand by and watch, but she didn't expect that knives and guns would be used. She decided to leave first.
Tan Mo led the way, bringing Lu Xingjian and his gang from the side, planning to go down the stairs and sneak away quietly.
But before she had taken a few steps, a group of people with guns came towards her, their guns pointed at Tan Mo.
The leader of this group of people was a bit old, with a scar on his face, and he looked like a ferocious monster who had been licking blood for years.
He slowly said, "It's me."
"I told them to kill you."
The man walked for a long time. After a few seconds, he stopped in front of Tan Mo and asked, "Why are you leaving before the show even begins?"
Nangong Lie asked curiously, "Who is this person?"
Tan Mo pounded Nangong Lie's chest with her hands, her heart already beating fast, she knew very well who this person was.
And the next highlight.
She smiled wryly at the man in front of her and said, "We were just looking around and walking around, and then we ended up here."
"We don't know the people upstairs. Since it's a feud between you and them, we won't make things more complicated. Let's go first."
"Hey." The man stretched out his arm, stopped Tan Mo, nodded his chin, and motioned her to go back.
Tan Mo was in tears again and went back upstairs tremblingly. If Lu Xingjian hadn't been supporting her, Tan Mo would have fallen to her knees.
"Who is this person?" Lu Xingjian asked.
Qin Xiao just happened to answer his question, "Mo Zhengshan."
Nangong Lie's reaction after hearing this was, "Who is this person?"
Xu Xiaonian: "I don't know him."
Tan Mo explained: "The Qin family's sworn enemy, there must be more than one person doing this business. This Mo Zhengshan is also involved in the underworld."
Lu Xingjian suddenly realized and said after careful consideration: "The work of cracking down on gangs and eliminating evil must continue to deepen."
Tan Mo: ...Is this the focus now?
Xu Xiaonian said, "Since it was Mo Zhengshan who sent someone to kill him, it means that the conflict between Qin Xiao and his family has intensified to a fever pitch."
Tan Mo nodded: "That's right."
Mo Zhengshan had just said that he wanted to kill Qin Xiao, but unexpectedly, when they met, he asked about his well-being like an old friend.
"How is your father doing lately?"
Qin Xiao: "I don't have time to greet you or chat with you."
Mo Zhengshan smiled and said, "If you take a look out the window, you'll probably have the skills."
Tan Mo was closer to the window, took a look and said, "Oh no, Qin Xiao, your men are being held at gunpoint by his men."
Qin Xiao clenched his fists, and Xiang Nuan grabbed the corner of his clothes in fear.
Mo Zhengshan continued to speak in his own way, "It's okay if you don't have time to tell me about your father's situation. I hope he's not doing well anyway."
"Even if he was living a good life before today, I think once he hears that his son is dead, he will be as miserable as I was back then."
"What?" Nangong Lie grasped the key point, "From what he said, his son is dead?"
Tan Mo nodded.
Qin Xiao asked sharply, "You are not here to seek revenge on me today because of your son's matter, are you?"
"Of course. Your father killed my son. Isn't it reasonable for me to seek revenge on you?"
Tan Mo sighed, "Sure enough, this kind of thing is against the old social system of favoritism, which is unacceptable under the law and must be sanctioned. You kill me, I take revenge, and you take revenge again. How long will this killing last?"
Lu Xingjian agreed: "So bloody."
Xu Xiaonian glanced at them and said, "Honestly, you two are quite a good match. It's already this late, and you're still here recruiting soldiers?"
Tan Mo: ...
Lu Xingjian: ...
Tan Mo suddenly realized that she was still holding Lu Xingjian's hand. It felt like there were thorns on the palm of her hand, so she immediately let go.
Not wanting Lu Xingjian to see that she was doing it on purpose, she wiped her hands on her pants and said softly, "I'm sweating a lot."
Lu Xingjian noticed her thoughts and smiled softly.
After hearing what Mo Zhengshan said, Qin Xiao didn't say anything for a long time.
Mo Zhengshan then looked at the woman beside Qin Xiao, "You are his girlfriend, Xiang Nuan, right?"
"What are you doing? If you have anything to say, come to me." Qin Xiao showed his boyfriend power and hid Xiang Nuan behind him.
Xiang Nuan cooperated with him very well, standing with her chest pressed against Qin Xiao's back.
Mo Zhengshan looked at Xiang Nuan with an unfathomable gaze, and suddenly said, "If Xun Xun saw this, would she be sad and upset?"
"Lun Lun?" Xiang Nuan murmured the name softly.
She felt very familiar with it. Once upon a time, she also knew someone whose name contained the word "li".
"Are you talking about Ding Lin?" Xiang Nuan asked doubtfully.
Mo Zhengshan smiled: "It seems you still remember his name."
Tan Mo complained: "How could I not remember? What kind of good family would have the word '殓' in their name? Choosing such an unlucky name, are they worried that they've lived too long?"
Lu Xing felt that this Ding Lin had a story. He asked, "Who is this person?"
Tan Mo: "Xiang Nuan's first love."
"Ah?!" Xu Xiaonian couldn't help but speak out.
Xiang Nuan asked Mo Zhengshan, "What is your relationship with Lian Lian?"
"I am his father."
"But I've never met his father," Xiang Nuan recalled. "Lun Lun also said his father died a long time ago. How can you prove it?"
"Is that what he told you?" Mo Zhengshan seemed to be recalling something, and a gentle undertone appeared on his ferocious face.
After a while, he said, "Lun Lun's mother was once the woman I loved deeply, but I was very clear about my identity and how much trouble my job would bring to her, so I left without saying goodbye."
"My profession?" Tan Mo complained speechlessly, "Do you really think being involved in gangs is a serious job?"
But Mo Zhengshan was already immersed in his own memories, unable to extricate himself. "But I didn't expect that when I left, she was already pregnant."
"She later gave birth to Lu Lu secretly without telling me. It wasn't until many years later, when Lu Lu was in her first year of high school, that I found out I had such a son."
"I originally wanted to acknowledge my son, but my job doesn't allow it, and my mother, the undertaker, certainly doesn't. Sometimes I think it would be nice if he could just be an ordinary person, happily, without having to live in fear."
"So I often secretly went to school to see him, pretending to be a stranger and bumping into him by chance, asking him for directions." Mo Zhengshan looked at Xiang Nuan, "If you remember, you should have seen me."
However, this ordinary passerby behavior did not leave any impression on Xiang Nuan at all.
Xiang Nuan's embarrassed expression disappointed Mo Zhengshan. He continued, "I often see you by Lian Lian's side. Like all couples in their first love, you're full of longing for a better life in the future. Do you remember when you said you'd get married right after graduating from university?"
Xiang Nuan's eyes were filled with tears, she would always remember it.
"If Luan Luan were still alive, I might have grandchildren by now."
"What an enviable first love." Xu Xiaonian also shed tears after hearing this.
Nangong Lie asked unhappily, "So it reminds you of your first love?"
Xu Xiaonian denied cautiously: "No, brother lie, I didn't..."
Nangong Lie didn't quite believe it.
Tan Mo and Lu Xingjian spoke at the same time: "If you two are going crazy, please consider the situation."
"Oh, okay, Saoli, Saoli."
The four of them turned their attention back to the main event.
Mo Zhengshan suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Then do you know who destroyed the man you loved most and your original happiness?"
Qin Xiao shook his head.
Mo Zhengshan pointed at him and said, "It's him! His father killed Lian Lian and took away the man you loved most!"
