47 I lied to you

"Kidnapping? What happened?" Zhou Jingbai stood up directly.

The person on the other end of the phone quickly explained the general situation of the matter.

Today, Fang Xingluo and Wen Zihuan went out shopping together, but they never came back.

They had clearly said they would come back for lunch before they went out, so they called to ask.

Unexpectedly, the person who answered the phone claimed to be a kidnapper and asked for a ransom of 100 million yuan. Then he gave an address and specifically asked Zhou Jingbai to deliver it. If he was found, he should call the police or someone was following him or if there was a problem with the money, he would kill the victim immediately.

Zhou Jingbai dropped his work and rushed home without saying a word. On the way, he had already started to instruct his men to get cash. After all, such a large amount of cash could not be withdrawn in a short time.

However, the kidnappers gave him a very tight deadline, requiring him to bring the money over before 8 a.m. the next day, or they would kill him.

Wen Zihuan felt dizzy after he woke up, and it took him a long time to figure out why he was here.

Today, Fang Xingluo suddenly changed her hostility towards him and asked him to go shopping together. He politely declined at first, but later he couldn't resist him begging him while staring at that extremely beautiful face, so he had to agree, thinking that it would only take half a day to go shopping, and he didn't have to pay for it, which was not bad.

He didn't expect to be gone forever. He remembered that Fang Xingluo accidentally spilled sauce on him when he was eating, and then when he went to the bathroom to wash, someone suddenly covered his mouth and nose and he lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he found himself here. It looked like a factory, but the only door was closed and he couldn't see outside clearly.

However, when he turned around, he saw Fang Xingluo was there too, and her hands and feet were tied up like him.

"Why were you kidnapped too?" He couldn't help but ask.

"I saw that you didn't come in, so I went to look for you, but I didn't expect to be knocked unconscious."

It sounded similar to his experience. Wen Zihuan's calmness just now was obviously temporary, but he was still dizzy because the effect of the drug had not yet completely passed through his head.

After he regained consciousness, he began to tremble on the spot, with scenes of kidnapping and ransom in TV dramas appearing in his mind.

But when he thought about Fang Xingluo next to him, he immediately felt relieved. After all, Fang Xingluo would definitely be rescued by someone, and the kidnappers would release them both after getting the money.

Even if Zhou Jingbai didn't come to the Fang family, he was still a wealthy man, so how could he ignore his precious pearls?

Thinking of this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then quietly waited for the two families to bring the ransom.

Sure enough, after a few hours, the door was opened, and the people who came in were Zhou Jingbai, a group of ferocious-looking kidnappers.

"Brother Jingbai!" Fang Xingluo's tears fell instantly.

"Xingluo, don't be afraid, I'm here." Zhou Jingbai hurriedly comforted her when he saw this.

"The money you want is in the car outside, release the person according to the agreement." He then turned his eyes to the kidnappers.

The kidnappers quickly sent a few people outside to confirm whether there was any problem with the money. Wen Zihuan wanted to say something, but he found that Zhou Jingbai's eyes were always on Fang Xingluo and he didn't even spare a glance for himself

. Seeing this, he silently comforted himself that this was as it should be, after all, Fang Xingluo was more important than himself.

After a period of silence, the kidnappers who went out to confirm the amount of money finally came back, and then said a few words to the man who led their group. Judging from their expressions, they said that there was no problem with the money.

Zhou Jingbai was just about to say that since there was no problem, it was time to release the hostages, but at this moment, the kidnapper leader suddenly laughed and walked towards Wen Zihuan and the others while laughing. Zhou Jingbai

immediately had a bad feeling and had already made the final plan, but the next words the kidnapper said were beyond his expectations.

"Are these two your lovers? The lovers of rich people are just good-looking."

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Jingbai could only try his best to keep his tone calm. Although he had already thought that these guys wanted to go back on their words and would most likely open their mouths in a lion's mouth later, he could not anger them at this time, after all, the hostages were still in their hands.

"I just suddenly thought of something. Since you only brought one ransom, of course I can only give it to you. Let this money be enough for us to live happily for a lifetime. The remaining one of us brothers wants to take happiness away."

"You!" Zhou Jingbai didn't expect them to be so shameless.

"If you think the money is not enough, I can add more." He took a deep breath and said.

"That's not necessary. If there is too much money, it will be difficult to transfer with our limited number of people. What's more, you have already seen the faces of several of us. Do you think I will let you come again?"

Unexpectedly, they are not happy now that I am willing to give them more money.

No one expected that it would become a choice between two. After hearing the words of the kidnappers, Wen Zihuan's mind went blank.

However, when Zhou Jingbai said Fang Xingluo's name without hesitation, he felt as if he had fallen into a cold pond, and the biting cold suddenly surrounded him.

"Brother Jingbai, didn't you say you liked him? Why do you choose me now? You should choose him. I've chosen you for my whole life. Since you've chosen someone else, there's no point in me living." Fang Xingluo's expression suddenly turned painful a few seconds after he finished speaking, and soon blood flowed down the corners of his mouth.

He wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, Zhou Jingbai stepped forward and stopped him, "I lied to you before. I heard what Aunt Fang said that day. I am dying and I don't want to delay you. What you have seen during this period is just a show. I will never lie to you again. Don't be stupid."

Fang Xingluo then loosened his teeth and spoke incoherently, "Really?"

"Really, let's get married when we go back, okay?"

Wen Zihuan looked at the couple hugging each other tightly and was speechless. Finally, he watched Zhou Jingbai carry Fang Xingluo away. When the backs of the two disappeared from his sight, he fainted because of fear and went back.

When he woke up again, he was no longer in the previous place, but a room that could be called gorgeous.

He subconsciously thought that he had been taken away by the kidnappers. They had received so much money, so of course they could live in such a nice place.

All kinds of emotions came up at once, and tears flowed uncontrollably, but he still cried and propped himself up to see if he could escape.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to find a way, a way." He soon found that the window of the room was not sealed. He opened it and saw that it was on the third floor. Jumping down was risky, but if he didn't run, it would be no different from waiting to die, and it would definitely be worse than death.

When one of his legs had climbed up to the window, the door was opened. Wen Zihuan heard the hurried footsteps behind him and didn't dare to look back, so he quickly increased his speed, but in the end, he was caught by a hand stretched out from behind in mid-air when he jumped down.

"What are you thinking? Are you trying to imitate others by jumping off a building? My building is higher than other buildings. I can't guarantee that you, with your skinny arms and legs, can survive if you jump down."

The familiar teasing tone filled his ears. Wen Zihuan turned around suddenly and saw Lu Zhou's face.

He was surprised and happy. He opened his mouth and babbled for a long time but couldn't say a single clear word.

"Are you scared and dumb?" Lu Zhou frowned after pulling him up.

"No, no, I...no."

"Okay, okay, sit down first. I'll call a doctor to take a look." Lu Zhou made a phone call and a doctor in a white coat came to the room in about a minute.

"Look at what's going on. You can't speak clearly. It seems that you are scared." Lu Zhou explained the situation.

The doctor gave Wen Zihuan sedatives and did some tests, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It was just a momentary emotional excitement, and he will recover in a while."

Wen Zihuan looked at Lu Zhou blankly after the doctor left the room.

Half an hour later, he finally figured out the whole story, that is, why he was here.

After he fainted, the kidnappers were ready to take him away, but before he could leave, Lu Zhou brought people. As for what happened in between, he didn't say a word, but in the end he was rescued.

"Thank you, thank you."

"I was stabbed in the face by the leader, and you just said thank you?"

"What! Then you, you." Wen Zihuan was excited and couldn't speak clearly again.

Lu Zhou quickly comforted him, "Don't get excited, I just took the medicine, I'm fine, he wanted to chop my neck, but I dodged, only my arm was injured."

"Let me see." Wen Zihuan said and was about to lift his sleeve, but he dodged before he touched him.

"Don't touch me, you clumsy hands."

"Okay, okay." Wen Zihuan immediately took his hands back and put them on his legs after hearing this.

He lived comfortably in this suburban villa for who knows how many days. He

had been to the Lu family, so he knew it was not here. In addition, except for Lu Zhou and the doctor, the others were servants and there was no one else from the Lu family, so it was most likely his private residence.

Wen Zihuan did ask him why he came to save him, but Lu Zhou just said that he knew about it when they were kidnapped, so he wanted to join in the fun and then rescued him.

But when he came back, he accidentally saw Lu Zhou changing the bandages. The wounds he mentioned lightly were shocking even from a distance.

During this time, the two of them got along in a weirdly normal way. Wen Zihuan had a separate room, three meals a day were delivered to him, and the doctor would come to check his physical condition every day.

Although Lu Zhou didn't say that he couldn't leave here, he never took the initiative to mention it.

During this period, Lu Zhou appeared only a few times, but if he asked the maid where he was, he would always show up within five minutes.

The maid did not deliver dinner to the room that day, but told him to go to the restaurant downstairs.

He had not left the room since he came here, and he looked around subconsciously after coming out.

But the special steps on the first floor quickly attracted his attention. Although he did not read much, he still recognized the words "Happy Birthday" written in English.
