"Holy crap, how could you hit her so hard? You knocked her out like that?" The older brother looked at his younger brother in shock, finding it unbelievable.
"Yeah, bro, otherwise this woman would be too much trouble! Did you hear how loudly she screamed for help? We don't want her to attract other people!"
The younger brother seemed quite pleased with his actions, raising his head as if seeking a reward and shouting to his older brother. Then, he casually grabbed Gu Ningning by the collar and dragged her toward the wall.
"Hey bro, are you fucking stupid? You've slapped her so hard she's swollen. When the delivery guy comes tomorrow and sees her like this, won't he try to lower the price for us?"
The eldest brother saw that Gu Ningning's right cheek was completely swollen and bright red, and his anger surged up uncontrollably. He was even angrier when he saw his younger brother smiling happily as if asking for a reward.
"Huh? Well, big brother, I didn't think of that either." The younger brother scratched his head regretfully and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, big brother, what should we do now? Oh dear! My idiot brain! I really didn't think of that at all!"
"All you do all day is cause trouble and make things worse!" The older brother looked at Gu Ningning with a pained expression. "Go find a bag of ice and try putting it on her. It'll help a little bit!"
"Okay, okay, big brother, don't worry, I'll go right now." Knowing he had done something wrong, the younger brother put Gu Ningning down against the wall and ran downstairs in a flash.
Before long, the younger brother returned with a bag of ice, muttering curses as he said, "These small supermarkets these days are all rip-offs. They sell me a small bag of ice for twenty yuan. Why don't they just rob me? One day, I'm going to beat them up!"
"Stop arguing with me and hurry up!" The older brother's anger hadn't subsided when he kicked his younger brother in the butt, sending him stumbling and falling towards Gu Ningning.
The next second, the younger brother crashed solidly into Gu Ningning, his head hitting the corner of the wall.
But he didn't dare say anything more, and immediately got up, carefully touching his forehead.
At this moment, Gu Ningning woke up.
"It hurts!" Gu Ningning whimpered, her voice trembling with sobs. "Why did you hit me? Waaaaah..."
The younger brother was already anxious and upset about Gu Ningning's situation, and at this moment he became even more irritable. He looked around to see if there was anything he could use to shut Gu Ningning up.
But after searching around and finding nothing usable, he turned around and yelled, "Shut up! Or I'll beat you up again!"
Gu Ningning immediately shut up because she knew that this person was really going to beat her up. To avoid being beaten again, Gu Ningning lowered her head and sobbed softly.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Gu Ningning raised her head sharply and shouted at them, "You just want money, right? I have money! I have lots of money! I can call my dad and have him pay the ransom. Once you get the money, can you release me? I beg you, I'm my dad's darling, he'll definitely give you a lot of money!"
The older brother pondered, looking at her without saying a word.
Those in this line of work have always valued integrity and refrained from taking ransoms from family members. This is to ensure that every link in the industry is as safe and discreet as possible. If someone breaks the rules for money, a lot of trouble will follow. The next buyer has already been contacted, and if they back out now, it will cause a huge mess. Next time, no one will be willing to cooperate with them or ask for the people they provide.
"How much money do you want? Name your price. Is one million enough for you?" Gu Ningning asked directly when they remained silent.
The younger brother frowned. To be honest, this amount was quite a lot. They would have to do at least two jobs to earn that much, so he was slightly tempted. But seeing that his older brother hadn't said anything, he didn't dare to say anything either.
"Two million?" Gu Ningning raised her stakes and shouted.
However, there was still no sound at the scene.
The elder brother's brow twitched, and he stared at Gu Ningning with an unreadable expression.
"Five million!" Gu Ningning gritted her teeth and decided to go all in.
"Big brother?!" Upon hearing the amount, the younger brother couldn't contain himself any longer. He looked at his older brother with a smug expression and quickly walked towards him.
Seeing that she had a chance now that she had raised her stakes, Gu Ningning couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth and raised the amount again, "Ten million?! I'll give you a chance. If you let me go, I'll make sure my dad gives you ten million."
Moreover, I guarantee that giving you cash will be untraceable.
This money is enough for you to live a carefree life for a long time, how about it?
This is a great deal, much better than you selling me out.
As she spoke, a smile began to appear on Gu Ningning's face. She felt confident that she had won. "I can also promise you that I will absolutely not call the police to pursue your illegal behavior. I will pretend that this never happened."
"Big brother, let her go. This deal is on!" The henchman urged his boss with a look of delight.
He had been by his older brother's side for many years. When he first came out, he was a naive young man who always did hard and tiring work.
Later, the older brother saw that the boy was honest and hardworking, so he took him under his wing to do other jobs.
Moreover, to motivate him to work hard, his older brother promised that he would receive a 15% commission on every girl he kidnapped who was sold.
Over the years, he's done this kind of thing quite a bit. He hasn't made a lot of big money, but he's still earned a fair amount of small money.
But now, with such a good opportunity right in front of him, he didn't want to let it slip away, so he became a little impatient.
However, his elder brother's words extinguished his illusions.
"Notify someone to come and pick up the goods as normal tomorrow."
"Go and apply an ice pack to her face to reduce the redness and swelling. Don't let it interfere with my business."
The older brother looked at him with a serious expression, unmoved by Gu Ningning's words.
"No, brother, what? You're not going to take such a good opportunity?" The younger brother was a bit confused and puzzled.
"Opportunity and danger coexist."
We've been doing this for so long and never made a mistake. If something goes wrong this time, we might as well give up on this business.
Look at her statement. If her family can come up with ten million to pay the ransom without any financial burden, they must not be an ordinary family.
When that happens, we'll contact her family, and they'll work with the police to trace her back to us. We'll be in deep trouble then.
They all need to go to jail!
