How could someone like Han Mingrui be afraid of the police?
With just a casual glance, the bodyguard immediately stepped forward, twisted Shen Ru's wrist, and snatched her phone away.
"Ah—help! Help..."
"Bang!"
Shen Ru felt the pain and wanted to scream, but these bodyguards were not the kind of people who would show mercy to women; they would hit women without hesitation.
One punch sent Shen Ru's face swollen so badly that tears and snot streamed down her face, and she couldn't even scream.
Qiwei felt a pang of guilt; the corners of his mouth uncontrollably turned up in a wild smile that he couldn't suppress.
It would be even more enjoyable to fight like this myself!
After being hit, Shen Ru finally realized the severity of the situation and dared not make any further noise. She no longer expected anyone to come to her rescue.
As she was speaking, she was unknowingly forced back into a small path, where she was hidden by big trees and surrounded by many bodyguards. She couldn't see what was happening inside at all, and who would bother to interfere?
Shen Ru forced herself to calm down; at that moment, she didn't even care about the pain in her stomach.
"Whether you want to deal with Jiang Yan or Qin Yiheng, I'll help you."
In Shen Ru's view, she could completely redeem herself through meritorious service, which is why she made such a suggestion.
pity……
"Who do you think would believe what you say now?" Qiwei looked at her with amusement.
Shen Ru opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Isn't Qiwei harming her? What if Han Mingrui could have been persuaded? If Qiwei had labeled her as "untrustworthy," Han Mingrui certainly wouldn't have wavered. What would she do then?
And what she said was true!
Shen Ru tried her best to defend herself: "I really can help. Look, Jiang Yan gave me a fake address, so now you've come looking for me. Don't I hate her? I'll do anything you need me to do..."
"Then go and kill Jiang Yan," Han Mingrui said, making his request in a serious tone.
Kill...kill someone?
Shen Ru was stunned. How could she kill someone? How could she dare to kill someone? How could she possibly survive after killing someone?
Actually, this is a normal person's way of thinking. Although Shen Ru is not a good person, she is not a villain either. How could she dare to do things like murder and arson? That would go to jail!
"I can't do it..." Han Mingrui murmured, cracking his knuckles, his eyes dark and menacing, making Shen Ru tremble with fear. Suddenly, he roared, "If you can't do it, what the hell are you talking to me about?"
"Ahhh—" Shen Ru screamed in terror.
This jarring sound further enraged Han Mingrui.
"Damn bitch, she's so noisy! Beat her until she shuts up!"
The bodyguard immediately threw Shen Ru to the ground and began punching and kicking her. Shen Ru had never been subjected to such treatment before, and she couldn't help but scream after only two blows.
"Ahhh! Don't hit me, don't hit me, I'll give you money, I'll give you money..." Shen Ru was completely at a loss, just shouting helplessly.
But the shout worked; the people who were about to attack stopped.
“Three days.” Han Mingrui held up three fingers, his tone leaving no room for argument.
This time limit extinguished the last glimmer of hope that Chen Ru had just ignited.
She cried out hoarsely, "How can you possibly gather enough time in three days? You need to give me more time..."
When she met Han Mingrui's gaze, Shen Ru fell silent again. He would let those people beat her again. Shen Ru was too scared, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"I said three days, and I meant three days. If I don't get the money in three days..."
Han Mingrui's gaze lingered on Shen Ru with ill intent. A woman who looked like Shen Ru was quite attractive, and it would be too easy to make money off her.
Shen Ru felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze, and cold sweat broke out all over her body.
What should she do?
Yes! Once you've calmed them down, you can call the police yourself. There won't be any problems then; the police can't possibly ignore it.
As soon as she thought that, Han Mingrui seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said directly, "If you dare to be dishonest, this money won't just come from you alone... Your parents are still back in your hometown, right?"
This "dishonesty" includes many actions, including calling the police.
When people face dire situations, their minds often become clearer than normal, and they think about things in more diverse ways. Perhaps this is what is meant by Adversity Quotient (AQ).
Shen Ru suddenly realized that people like them are best at threatening others, and they have the capital and strength to do so.
Qiwei and his gang were in cahoots, so finding his home would be a piece of cake for him.
Shen Ru has been working hard for so many years. Although she has never sent much money home, every time she goes back, she drives a luxury car and wears the most expensive designer clothes. People in her hometown think she is doing very well and praise her whenever they meet. When she compares herself with others, she is always the winner. Her parents are also very proud and are willing to talk about her.
If these people really find her, what will her hometown people think of her? Will her parents lose face? What will she face when she goes back...?
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
Shen Ru simply could not accept it.
So she had no choice but to compromise again: "No, no, I won't tell anyone, I won't, please let me go, I'll think of a way, I'll compensate you, please let me go..."
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
Han Mingrui was actually quite reliable, and seeing Shen Ru beaten until her hair was disheveled, her face bruised and swollen, and her makeup messed up from crying, making her look like a female ghost, his mood improved a lot compared to before.
"Remember, three days," Qiwei emphasized, sounding somewhat like he was kicking someone when they were down.
After they left, Shen Ru lost all interest in going to work. She fled home dejectedly and huddled under the covers, shivering all night.
She already had a stomachache, and now she felt terrible all over. She was shocked, frightened, and had external injuries. She had a fever, but she couldn't care less. The panic in her heart had overcome everything else.
Her brain was working non-stop, trying to think of a solution...
Finally, she figured it out.
Shen Ru threw off the covers, poured herself a cup of hot water, and drank it down without caring that it was too hot. Her eyes, flushed by the steam, were red as if they could bleed at any moment.
She gripped the water glass tightly, as if it were Jiang Yan's neck.
Because she realized that she had ended up in this situation entirely because of Jiang Yan.
If she hadn't given me a fake address, I wouldn't have given it to Qiwei. If I hadn't given it to Qiwei, it wouldn't have reached Han Mingrui, and none of this would have happened. I wouldn't have been beaten, and I wouldn't have been extorted for 30 million...
While Qiwei is certainly hateful, I won't let him get away with it.
But ultimately, it was all Jiang Yan's fault.
Therefore, this compensation should have been paid by Jiang Yan.
A terrifying smile crept across Shen Ru's lips...
