Li Shuyu was furious.
"How could you do this? You took my money, and now you're trying to renege on your promise."
"You want to give up halfway? Do you believe I'll report you?"
Hearing Li Shuyu's thoughtless words, He Xincheng, who was standing next to her, felt like slapping her.
Is this woman insane? These people in front of her are all vicious thugs, yet she dares to threaten others on their own turf.
Nobody knows where they are right now. If someone just dumps them in this deep mountain forest, they'll starve to death.
If they anger each other, they can dig a hole here and both of them will be doomed, and no one will be able to find them, not even a trace.
As expected, the kidnapping leader slapped Li Shuyu across the face as soon as he heard this.
He's no ordinary man. This woman dared to challenge him on his own turf. If it weren't for the money, she would have been dead 800 times over.
"Woman, get your act together. Who do you think you are, daring to act tough with me on my turf? You think I won't have my brothers dig a hole and bury you right now?"
"What the hell? You really think you're something special?"
Li Shuyu was stunned by the man's beating; half of her face swelled up quickly, but the beating also brought her back to her senses.
She was no longer the Li Shuyu of the past. Now she had nothing and no money. With her methods, the other party wouldn't fall for her tricks.
"Brother Liu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I just didn't mean it."
Covering her face, which was swollen like a steamed bun, she still had to apologize in a humble voice.
Li Shuyu felt that she had never been so humiliated in her life.
The man called Brother Liu glared fiercely at Li Shuyu. He said with a sneer,
"I'm warning you, this is the first and last time. If you dare to let me hear such mindless words again, then..."
Don't blame me for being impolite.
I'll just dump you on one of my buddies; they haven't touched a woman or had sex in days.
If I don't serve you well, then it's your fault.
These words immediately caused the men behind him to wink and make sarcastic remarks.
"Hey, big brother, why don't you just give her to us? She's pretty, kind of seductive, I bet she'll be quite a handful on the bed."
"This ungrateful woman, Big Brother, really thinks she can boss us around just because she has money?"
"Her little bit of money is nothing. She wants us to help her kill someone to cover it up? Who does she think she is?"
"The eldest brother handed her over to us, and we guarantee that the brothers will teach her a lesson so that she will never dare to speak so arrogantly again."
That little mouth of yours should be used for something useful, not wasting its breath here.
"Yes, it must be very comfortable to use this little mouth."
A group of men laughed lewdly, which frightened Li Shuyu so much that she quickly hid behind He Xincheng.
She used He Xincheng's body to cover herself, even though she was quite open-minded about this, she still knew that.
These are not the kind of men who would pity a woman.
If she were to fall into the hands of these men, she would be in for a world of trouble, and might even lose her life.
The group of men burst into laughter when they saw his action, and He Xincheng's face turned ugly.
He ended up in this situation entirely because of Li Shuyu.
Otherwise, why would he have needed to hide in this remote and impoverished place with Li Shuyu to be threatened by these barbarians?
But he also knew that he couldn't show any dissatisfaction at this moment, otherwise they would face utter disaster.
He hurriedly put on a smiling face and said,
"Brother Liu, look at her, she's a woman with long hair but short brains, talking nonsense. We absolutely didn't mean it that way."
"Brother Liu, we entrusted this matter to you, and you've already gone to a lot of trouble. Here's the rest of the money, please count it."
He respectfully handed the remaining money to Brother Liu, who slowly sat down and counted it. He patted the money in his palm.
"This money from the man surnamed He is not right."
He Xincheng raised an eyebrow.
"Brother Liu, we agreed on a total of 5,000 yuan. I'll pay you 3,000 yuan first, and the remaining 2,000 yuan is the balance."
Once you've delivered the person, you don't need to worry about the rest. See, this is exactly two thousand yuan.
Oh, by the way, brothers, you've all worked hard. Here's 200 yuan, it's a reward for your hard work, and I'll treat you all to a meal.
He Xincheng was afraid of pushing these people too far, so he hurriedly took out another two hundred yuan from his pocket. Although it hurt, he knew that he couldn't be stingy with money at this point.
There are still many things I need to rely on these people for, so I can't afford to close the door now.
Brother Liu chuckled coldly.
"Hey, do you think I'm a beggar? You think you can get rid of me with just two hundred yuan?"
Do you know what we've been doing for you?
This is a matter that could cost you your head. Do you think you can settle this for 5,000 yuan?
"The son of the director of a military hospital, you think you can just kidnap him and give him 5,000 yuan? Are you dreaming?"
He Xincheng's heart skipped a beat; they had never told anyone about this before.
"Don't look at me like that. What are we doing here?"
You think you can just give us a name and a route and we'll do it without asking any questions?
Of course we've inquired about him. Would we dare to kidnap him if we hadn't found out his background?
His father is a powerful figure who can control everything. You want me to kidnap his son now? Even though he might not be able to find him in this godforsaken place, let me tell you, we'd risk our lives to protect you.
5,000 yuan is definitely not enough. Give me double that amount, 10,000 yuan, and we'll call it even.
We don't care whether the child lives or dies, but the money can't be shortchanged; my brothers are all counting on this money to buy rice and cook.
"This is also a way to calm our nerves. Otherwise, if his father finds out about us, none of us could escape."
Let me tell you, we're taking this risk for you, so you have to pay for it. We're not running a charity.
Everyone nodded immediately upon hearing this.
"Yes, Mr. He. Hurry up and pull out 10,000 yuan. We've taken such a big risk for you, who would be willing to do this for you if you don't have the money?"
He Xincheng turned pale with fright. The five men in front of him were vicious and each one was bigger than him.
If they were to fight, the two of them would be no match for each other.
The man was a frail scholar, as weak as a chick, and the woman was even worse, with virtually no fighting ability.
"Brother Liu, we don't have that much money on hand. How about I pay you in advance?"
Once things are settled here, and we return to Shanghai in a year or two, I will definitely give you this money.
You should have investigated our family's situation; you should know we're not short of money.
He Xincheng could only plead desperately, because at this point he really couldn't come up with that much money.
