Shen Yulan struggled desperately, but as a young girl, she was restrained by two strong men and couldn't move at all.
“My father is Shen Wansheng. You bunch of scoundrels, just you wait. If my father finds out that you dare to bully me, he will definitely send someone to skin you alive.”
The leader chuckled coldly, "I fear neither heaven nor earth, why would I be afraid of your father, Shen Wansheng?"
Xu Jinwei and Kong Ling'er came out and saw the situation outside. The two girls turned pale with fright.
"If you...you want money, I...I have money here. Release my sister first, and I'll give you all this money." Kong Ling'er opened her bag and took out several silver notes.
The burly men who had kidnapped Shen Yulan immediately stared at the bills with bright eyes.
The leader merely glanced coldly at the silver notes and scoffed dismissively.
"You think you can fob us off with a few bills? Do you think we're beggars? The Shen family is so rich, let Master Shen prepare two hundred thousand silver dollars for me, otherwise, his daughter will become my bandit queen."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yulan completely panicked.
She was the eldest daughter of the Shen family, the daughter of Shen Wansheng; how could she be insulted by these brutes?
"Cousin, go find my father quickly and tell him to bring people to rescue me."
"Huh? Bringing men? Heh, little girl, didn't you see this axe in my hand? Your Shen family may be rich, but in the eyes of our Axe Gang, you're nothing."
"You...you're from the Axe Gang?" Shen Yulan was completely terrified.
The Axe Gang's influence has spread throughout both the legitimate and underworld circles of Shanghai. Their leader, Boss Du, is said to have close ties with the President, and even the Yin family treats him with deference.
Although the Shen family is a prominent family in Shanghai, they are ultimately just Confucian merchants.
In chaotic times, how could a merchant's status possibly compare to that of the underworld?
Shen Yulan was heartbroken.
At this moment, one of the underlings' eyes fell on Xu Jinwei.
He ran excitedly to the leader's side: "Brother, that girl looks like a young lady from the Xu family."
Xu Jinwei took a step back in fright.
"No, I am not Miss Xu, I... I am just the daughter of an ordinary family."
"Heh, dressed in fine silks and satins, and you still claim to be from an ordinary family? Do you think I'm an idiot? Your clothes alone are enough for an ordinary family's living expenses for several months. Tie this girl up, and leave that little girl behind to go and inform the Shen and Xu families. Tell them to each prepare 200,000 silver dollars for me, or I'll kill her!"
After Bai Qianmo finished her tea, she had listened to the play for a while longer.
He put down his teacup, straightened his collar, and got up to leave the private room.
When Xu Jinwei saw Bai Qianmo come out, a plan immediately came to her mind.
She raised her hand and pointed at Bai Qianmo.
“She is the real Miss Xu. Her name is Xu Jin’en, and she is the legitimate daughter of the Xu family.”
The leader and his men all looked towards the door.
Bai Qianmo glanced at Xu Jinwei with a cold gaze, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
He then coldly shifted his gaze to the leader.
Bai Qianmo was slightly surprised to see the tall and handsome young man in front of her, having originally thought that the leader would be a burly old man.
The leader looked to be around thirty years old, with dark skin, prominent features, and particularly bright eyes that revealed a hint of cunning and ruthlessness.
He was wearing a coarse cloth outfit, which, although unpatched, had been starched until it was faded, indicating that it was a garment he wore regularly.
As Bai Qianmo sized up the other person, the leader's gaze also fell on Bai Qianmo's face.
When he saw Bai Qianmo's stunningly beautiful face, his eyes widened in surprise, a hint of amazement flashing in them.
His men wore the same expression.
One of the underlings said, "Those three girls were already pretty enough, but I didn't expect there to be even prettier ones."
"This girl is fucking like a fairy."
Have you ever seen a fairy?
"Hehe, I've seen it in my dreams."
"Shut the hell up, all of you!" the man roared impatiently.
A pair of dangerous eyes stared intently at Bai Qianmo, as if eyeing prey.
"Take this chick with me too."
Xu Jinwei cried, "Sir, I am not a daughter of the Xu family. Please let me go."
The leader chuckled coldly twice: "You think you can hide your identity by putting up a shield? Heh, Miss Xu, am I right?"
Xu Jinwei was completely dumbfounded.
"You're using the Axe Gang's reputation to rob and plunder on their territory. You've got some nerve."
The expressions of the kidnappers all changed.
The leader narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"What did you say?"
"Hehe, the Axe Gang is the largest gang in Shanghai, with many brothers under its command. The weapon they always carry is an axe."
One of the henchmen defiantly raised an axe in his hand: "Hey little girl, look what this is in my hand."
Bai Qianmo sneered: "An axe can be found everywhere on the street. How can that prove you are from the Axe Gang?"
The leading man stared intently at Bai Qianmo for a while and said, "Heh, little girl, you've got some guts."
When the three girls who ran out in front saw them, they were all frightened like startled rabbits, but this girl looked very calm when she came out.
What I could even see in her eyes was utter disdain.
"Then take a look at this." The man rolled up his sleeve, revealing an axe tattoo on his arm.
