【Huaxia】
Ji Min was processing documents when he suddenly felt a sharp pang of panic.
"Ruanruan, could something have happened to Ruanruan?"
He frowned, just about to take out the safety buckle.
"Ding ding ding..."
Suddenly, an unknown number called my personal cell phone.
He frowned, but finally answered the phone.
"Brother Ji, save me... Waaaaah..."
Across from him, Xia Shiyan was tied up, her face covered in tears as she pleaded with him.
Standing beside her were several thugs wearing hoods. Although their faces were obscured, their physiques and blue eyes suggested they were not Chinese.
"Who are you people?"
Although Ji Minxiu had already decided to stop caring about Xia Shiyan, now that the matter had come to this point, he really couldn't just sit idly by.
"Give her what we want in exchange, or we'll kill her."
One of the tall thugs pulled out a gun and pointed it at Xia Shiyan's head.
"No, waaaaah... Brother Ji, please save me... I don't want to die!"
Xia Shiyan turned pale with fright and began to cry and beg Ji Minxiu, but she was filled with regret.
Not long ago, she ran out of money again. Remembering the strange behavior she had seen in Ji Minxiu, she thought of using it to threaten the head of the Ji family and get a large sum of hush money from him.
As a result, the head of the Ji family did not believe her at all and even wanted to send her to a mental hospital.
Terrified, she fled. On the way, she encountered these people asking about Ji Minxiu. Her greed returned, and she said that she knew Ji Minxiu and that she had to pay money to get the information.
As it turned out, the other party acted unpredictably. Upon learning that she knew Ji Minxiu, they kidnapped her without paying her any money.
She had just escaped one danger only to fall into another; these people still wanted to assault her.
In order to survive, she lied and claimed that she was Ji Minxiu's most beloved woman and could help them get what they wanted, which barely saved her life.
Ji Minxiu, who is fluent in multiple languages, naturally understood and said coldly, "Speak, what do you want?"
"What we want is very simple: that magical object in your hand that can hold a lot of things." The thug's tone was clearly excited.
But these words made Ji Minxiu's heart skip a beat.
A space that can hold a lot of things?
What they want is a safety amulet!
How could these thugs know that he had a safety amulet?
"You've come to the wrong person. I don't have what you want," Ji Minxiu said coldly, without giving an answer.
"Min...Min-soo..."
Suddenly, Ji Minxiu seemed to hear Yun Zhourong's voice.
Soft and fluffy!
Has something happened to Ruan Ruan?
"Bang!"
Just then, a gunshot rang out in the video.
It turned out that the assailant had shot Xia Shiyan in the foot, causing her to bleed profusely instantly.
"ah…"
Xia Shiyan immediately let out a shrill scream.
"You don't need to deny it. Since we came to you, it means we are confident enough."
The thug's tone turned cold, and he pressed the gun against Xia Shiyan's forehead again, "If you don't give it to me, your beloved woman will die here today."
"The woman I love?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Minxiu looked at Xia Shiyan with displeasure.
He couldn't help but feel anxious; the safety charm in his palm was slightly warm, surely Yun Zhourong needed him.
However, Yun Zhourong did not summon him directly, so he was unsure of the specific situation.
But Xia Shiyan's life is in danger right now, and he can't just abandon her.
Xia Shiyan felt a little guilty, but still argued, "Brother Ji, I only said that to protect myself. I'm your savior, and now I'm being dragged into this by you. It's just an item, you can just give it to them!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Minxiu frowned.
Indeed, although it is unknown why these people approached Xia Shiyan, she was indeed implicated by him this time.
He couldn't bear to stand by and watch someone die.
Of course, even if he were to save someone, he would never hand over the safety buckle; Xia Shiyan wasn't that important to him.
Even so, rescuing people is a dangerous matter and requires careful consideration.
"boss."
Just then, Assistant Lin came in from outside, carrying a document. "This is a message from the head of the family. It says that Miss Xia went to see him and said that you would disappear into thin air. She also used this as leverage to demand an exorbitant amount of hush money from him."
"No, I didn't!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Shiyan in the video immediately shouted in rebuttal, "It was your father who wanted me to leave you. He took the money and tried to force me to leave, but I refused! Brother Ji, you have to believe me..."
"Enough, Miss Xia. The head of the family already anticipated that you would say this, and he even sent over the surveillance footage from that time," Assistant Lin interrupted ruthlessly.
"What…"
Hearing this, Xia Shiyan was completely heartbroken and slumped into her seat, no longer saying a word.
Why did you become like this?
Ji Minxiu looked at Xia Shiyan, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Is this still the same kind little girl who kept him warm in the trap and constantly encouraged him?
Does a person's personality really change so much as they grow up?
"That's all your fault!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Shiyan suddenly roared emotionally, "You're clearly so rich, what's wrong with giving me more? If I hadn't saved you back then, would you still have so much money?"
"Enough! Stop trying to morally blackmail our boss. Hasn't he done enough for you?"
Assistant Lin couldn't stand it anymore and retorted with disdain, "If the boss had died back then, without his financial support, you would have been married off by your patriarchal family long ago. You wouldn't have the opportunity to study now, and you wouldn't be able to live in such a good place as Haishi!"
"I...I don't care, anyway, all of this is what Ji Minxiu owes me, and this time it's because of him that I'm implicated!" Xia Shiyan knew she was in the wrong, but she still stubbornly argued.
"Xia Shiyan, we've already settled our differences. You're a stranger to me. If you can threaten me with just any stranger, I'll never be able to handle it."
Ji Minxiu was completely disheartened. He stood up and left, saying, "My act of calling the police is the last bit of kindness I can show you. Assistant Lin, I'm leaving this to you. I have other things to do."
"Okay, boss, don't worry." Assistant Lin quickly agreed.
"Ji Minxiu, come back! Save me... How dare you! You'll die a horrible death..."
When Ji Minxiu left, Xia Shiyan initially pleaded, but when she realized he wouldn't be coming back, she started cursing.
"Damn it, you bitch, you're utterly useless!"
The thugs knew that threatening Ji Minxiu with Xia Shiyan was useless, so they slapped her hard across the face, yelling, "You wasted my time, you deserve to die!"
"I advise you to leave immediately. I have already called the police, and you have been located."
Even if Assistant Lin disliked Xia Shiyan, he couldn't bear to see a Chinese girl being bullied by foreigners like this.
