Seeing that Qin Lie seemed somewhat interested in him, Wen Huaiyan continued, "You are probably aware of the strength of the Wen family. Cooperating with me will not do you any harm."
Qin Lie, having spent many years in the business world, was certainly not a brainless person.
Faced with this sudden, well-intentioned invitation, he raised an eyebrow: "Mr. Wen, what benefits do you hope to gain by doing this?"
He's definitely a smart person.
Wen Huaiyan didn't want to beat around the bush and said directly, "I can help you deal with Darius, but the premise is that our two families must cooperate and jointly develop the domestic market."
Upon hearing this, Qin Lie's gaze darkened, and he said thoughtfully, "I'll think about it and get back to you later. You should focus on recovering first."
After saying that, he left with Sally and his men.
Only after watching the group of people gradually walk away did Li Ruo have time to care about Wen Huaiyan.
She gently touched the man's wound and asked with some concern, "Does it hurt?"
Not wanting her to worry too much, Wen Huaiyan smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."
The more he acted this way, the more upset Li Ruo felt. She pouted with some self-reproach and said, "Actually, you shouldn't have saved me just now."
Wen Huaiyan's shoulder injury from saving her last time hadn't healed yet, and now he had a new injury on his arm, which made her feel really bad.
After all, it would be easier to explain if something happened to her, but if something happened to Wen Huaiyan, she really wouldn't know how to explain it to the Wen family.
However, Wen Huaiyan showed no sign of blaming her. He said in a low voice, "You came out with me. As a man, I have to ensure your safety, you know that?"
Seeing his earnest gaze, Li Ruo's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but hug him tightly: "Thank you!"
Feeling her soft body, Wen Huaiyan's lips curved slightly, and a tenderness appeared in his eyes.
Night falls.
After putting Wen Huaiyan to sleep, Li Ruo carefully went out to fetch the medicine.
But as she headed straight for the second-floor staircase, before she could even descend, a hand suddenly appeared from the corner and tightly covered her mouth.
"save……"
Sensing danger, Li Ruo's eyes widened suddenly. Just as she was about to open her mouth to struggle, a piece of cloth was stuffed into her mouth, followed by a black cover tightly sealing her mouth.
When she regained her sight, she found herself thrown into a windowless, enclosed room.
Standing beside him were two menacing-looking men, one of whom had a long scar on his face, and the other was rather overweight.
Seeing that they looked somewhat familiar, Li Ruo's heart sank. She tentatively asked, "Who are you? Why did you kidnap me? Are you acting under someone's orders?"
The two men looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
"Looks like you're really smart, no wonder the boss likes you."
"boss?"
Li Ruo frowned slightly: "Who is your boss?"
Upon hearing this, the scarred man spat on the ground, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Here, besides Darius, who else dares to call themselves Boss Darius?"
This is a rule unique to Country H: people from the lower class cannot share the same name as people from the upper class, and they are not even allowed to use the same form of address.
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo gritted her teeth. It really was him.
The next second, she angrily questioned, "Why did he kidnap me?"
After all, even if a deal falls through, goodwill should remain. Surely Darius wouldn't resort to violence just because a business deal fell through?
However, as soon as she finished speaking, another fat man said with a lewd look, "Of course, it's because the boss has taken a liking to you and doesn't want you to leave."
The scarred man chimed in, "In this land, anyone our boss wants to stay will have no chance of escaping!"
Hearing these words, Li Ruo's heart skipped a beat.
This man hasn't given up on his idea of hitting on her?
In the silence, the scarred man looked her up and down, and couldn't help but swallow hard, his eyes gleaming.
"You foreigner, you're quite beautiful. No wonder the boss is so interested in you. It's a pity you're in our hands now. Why don't we check the goods for him before he arrives?"
Clearly, his companion was no better; upon hearing this, a lewd smile immediately appeared on his face.
The two then exchanged a glance and walked towards Li Ruo step by step.
"you……"
Unexpectedly, the two were so audacious. Li Ruo's eyes widened, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
But the room was so small that she quickly found herself cornered against the wall, with nowhere left to retreat.
Seeing this, the scarred man licked his lips: "Beautiful lady, don't be afraid, we two brothers will definitely take good care of you!"
Immediately afterwards, he and the fat man restrained Li Ruo's hands from both sides.
"You two bastards, let me go..."
Li Ruo's face turned pale, but no matter how much she struggled, she still couldn't break free from the restraints.
Just as the scarred man's hand was about to touch her chest, Li Ruo gritted her teeth and subconsciously closed her eyes.
However, the next second, a series of gunshots rang out from outside the door.
"What happened?"
