At five o'clock in the morning, the sky gradually turns pale, the stars fade away, and the first ray of light of dawn is about to gently awaken the sleeping earth.
The air was a little chilly, and Zhichen shivered. He didn't know if it was because he drank too much last night, but he felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't move.
When he tried to slowly open his eyes, a basin of ice-cold water was suddenly poured on him.
He was so cold that he wanted to curl up into a ball, but his limbs seemed to be restrained by something and he couldn't use any strength.
This basin of cold water completely woke him up.
He slowly raised his head with his head drooping, and then he saw a very arrogant and arrogant man standing in front of him, looking at him leisurely with his head tilted.
Zhichen looked at him, trying hard to search his mind for the memory of this man's face, but soon the search failed, as he did not recognize the man in front of him.
He asked, "Who are you?"
After he finished speaking, he noticed the surrounding environment. This was an uninhabited apartment with no furniture in the house.
The apartment was very big, and there were not only him and the man, but also Jinghan, Jizhong, Li Li, Li Zishu and Mujin.
I saw that they all had their hands tied with ropes like him and were hung firmly on the big, thick nails on the wall.
They were probably still asleep, with their heads drooping.
Zhichen was shocked. Was he being kidnapped?
Soon, reason overcame shock. He stared at the man in front of him, slightly angry: "Who are you? What do you want to do by arresting us all?"
"Do you know who you are arresting?"
The man looked at Zhichen with a smile and said in a playful tone, "Nonsense, I'm the one who arrested them, so of course I know who they are!"
Zhichen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since you know it's for money? Tell me, how much money do you want? We can give it to you as long as you let us go."
In order to prevent the man from having any worries, Zhichen continued: "Don't worry, I will convince them not to call the police. I guarantee that you will leave safely after taking the money."
The man laughed out loud after hearing this. "Zhichen, do you think I'm a fool? Besides...if I was just after the money, kidnapping Jinghan would be enough. Why would I show off and capture all of you?"
"Isn't this a case of trying to cover up one's own faults?"
At this moment, Zhichen suddenly realized, "You don't want money?"
The man smiled grimly.
Zhichen: "Tell me, who asked you to arrest us?"
The man extended his right middle finger and made a 'no' gesture in front of Zhichen. "This... I can't tell you. You will know it when you need to know it."
Zhichen carefully discovered that the man's right hand had no little finger and the wound was very smooth, as if it was cut with a sharp weapon.
Zhichen didn't think so. For a man like him, who lives on the edge of a knife all day long, it would be considered lucky for him to have a finger cut off.
The man took two steps back, then shouted, "Brothers, splash water on them to wake them up. It's dawn!"
At the command of the gang leader, the younger brothers each held a bucket of water and stood in front of each of them.
Zhichen stopped him loudly: "You don't need to splash him, they will wake up soon, there is no need to take off your pants to fart, it's a waste of time!"
The gang leader smiled innocently, "Really? How long do I have to wait?"
"What I hate most is waiting. I want them to wake up now."
"Boys, get ready, splash!"
"Don't..." As Zhichen uttered these two words, the buckets of water held by the younger brothers splashed on each of them.
A bone-chilling feeling suddenly spread throughout my body.
It woke each of them up in the coolness.
The first thing Jing Han saw when he woke up was that he had been kidnapped. He yelled, "Fuck! Who dares to kidnap me?"
When he looked closely, he realized the man standing in front of him was actually a gangster?!
Li Zishu glared at the gang leader and angrily said, "How dare you even tie me up? Are you tired of living?"
Mu Jin mocked him, "How ridiculous! This is the first time in my life that a great king like me has been kidnapped. Boy, I think your death is coming."
But Li Li and Yoshi Zhong didn't say anything.
Listening to their words, the gang leader clapped his hands and laughed, "I didn't expect your mouths are tougher than your bodies. You're already behind bars, and you're still thinking about how to kill me?"
"Do you believe me or not, I will prevent you from seeing the sun today?"
"To tell you the truth..." The gang leader paced calmly in front of them, "Since I dared to kidnap you, I am not afraid of death. For someone like me who lives on the edge of a knife, why would I care about this worthless life?"
Jing Han asked seriously, "So, you know our identities?"
The gang leader spread his hands.
Jing Han: "How dare you kidnap us if you know our identities? Who is the financial backer behind you?"
To dare to attack so many of them at once, either they are too powerful, or they are crazy...
The gang leader turned his back to them and said, "As I said before, I'll let you know when I want you to know."
He took two steps forward, then sat down awkwardly on the chair, not intending to talk to them anymore.
Seeing the gang leader's attitude, he would not tell them the mastermind behind the incident, so they began to discuss it in low voices. After a few words, the gang leader said coldly: "So noisy."
"Shut their mouths!"
"You dare!" Jing Han was furious.
Even so, their mouths were quickly blocked with rags thrown by the younger brothers.
At 7:20, a gangster ran in in a panic and whispered something into the ear of the gang leader. The next second, the gang leader stood up and walked to the door.
Soon, someone knocked on the door of the apartment. The gang leader slowly opened the door. An elegant and charming woman wearing a pair of big sunglasses stood outside the door.
The gang leader said politely, "Miss Xia, you're here."
As he said that, the gang leader stood up and made way for the woman.
It wasn't until the woman's appearance appeared in front of everyone that everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
They should have thought of it long ago. Apart from Xia Tian, there was no one else in the world who could have made so many enemies with them at the same time.
Xia Tian took off her sunglasses and looked at them staring at her like wolves and tigers. She was not afraid at all. She surveyed them for a long time. Finally, she nodded at Zhichen and Li Li, "You and you, stay. The others can go away."
The gang leader didn't know where Xia Tian wanted to take the person, so he asked with a smile: "Miss Xia, where are you taking him? Is it..."
After saying that, the gang leader made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Xia Tian raised the corner of his lips and snorted coldly: "Cover them all with a big net, and then throw them into the sea to feed the fish."
"This way, they can go and accompany Xiao and the others!"
