Gradually, the sky had turned dark.

The proprietress kept thinking of ways to escape, eventually deciding that money might work.

Gathering her courage, she said, "Gentlemen, I don't know why you kidnapped me, but it doesn't matter now. I can give you three million, just let me go!"

As she spoke, she observed their expressions and noticed a glint of greed in their eyes. Clearly, three million was tempting to them.

Li Tianyi took a deep breath.

He did so much dirty work for the Wendong Group for money, but the Wendong Group paid him limited amounts, certainly not millions at once.

He stared at the proprietress and said, "You're not simple, not only beautiful and sexy, but smart too. If the boss hadn't given a strict order, I might have really wanted to make this deal with you!"

"Do you think it's not enough? I can add more if it's too little." The proprietress felt her heart sink as she upped the ante!

"It's not about the money. If I let you go, we'd be dead. Money is important, but our lives are more important." Li Tianyi said helplessly.

After a pause, Li Tianyi said, "We initially thought of enjoying our time with you at the location, but seeing how sensible you are, we'll spare you!"

But the strong men behind him regretfully said, "Boss, it's such a waste not to enjoy such a beautiful and sexy woman. She is countless times better than those street girls."

The proprietress trembled slightly at these words.

Li Tianyi, however, said, "Do as I say. If anyone tries anything, I won't spare them!"

Shortly after, the car stopped in front of an abandoned temple.

Li Tianyi took the proprietress out of the car and led her inside, feeling the place was dilapidated, cluttered, with traces of bonfires on the ground and a pile of garbage in the corner.

Although they didn't tie up the proprietress, the strong men not only had robust builds but also carried knives, making her too afraid to run.

Li Tianyi went outside to make a call, "Boss, we've got her... Okay, I'll call the kid right away..."

After hanging up, Li Tianyi directly dialed Su Ming's number, "Are you Su Ming?"

"Yes, I am." Su Ming's voice came from the other end.

"The proprietress is with me!" Li Tianyi stated directly.

"What do you mean?" Su Ming was startled, a deeply bad feeling surged in his heart.

Li Tianyi said, "I'll give you a location, drive over here alone, remember, don't call the police or bring anyone, otherwise we'll kill the proprietress."

"Fine, I'll come alone, but I need to hear the proprietress's voice." Su Ming responded without hesitation.

"No need to hear her voice, you can choose not to come." Li Tianyi replied coldly.

"Fine, I'm on my way." Su Ming gritted his teeth.

Even though Su Ming knew it would be very dangerous to go there, he was determined to rescue the proprietress.

"Head to Celestial Deformed Mountain, after five kilometers into the mountain, you'll see an abandoned temple. We're inside. Beep beep beep..." Li Tianyi finished and hung up.

Su Ming's mind flashed through all his enemies, finally settling on Lao Qiming.

He was filled with rage, wanting to call Lao Qiming, but he knew the other would surely deny it, so he restrained his anger and didn't call.

After a brief preparation, Su Ming got into the car and headed for Celestial Deformed Mountain.

He was extremely anxious, running through three red lights along the way, but he didn't care, arriving at the abandoned temple at the fastest speed.

As soon as the car stopped, his phone rang. Li Tianyi's cold voice came through as he picked up: "Get out of the car, no funny business!"

Su Ming walked straight inside.

Immediately he saw five strong men in black clothes with caps, exuding a murderous aura.

These muscular men moved swiftly, their temples high, clearly well-trained.

"Where's the proprietress?" Su Ming asked in a deep voice.

"Inside." One of the men answered coldly.

Su Ming stopped talking and headed toward the broken room inside.

Two strong men blocked his way.

"Su Ming, is that you?" A somewhat frightened and helpless voice came from inside.

As the proprietress spoke, she opened the door to come out, but Li Tianyi flashed a bright dagger, saying, "Don't move, or it wouldn't be good if you're accidentally hurt!"

Su Ming was furious, glaring at Li Yilong and said sternly, "What do you want?"

"Don't glare at me, I'm just doing the boss's orders." Li Tianyi said and then picked up his phone, making a video call.

A thin and sinister-looking person appeared on the phone screen.

Li Tianyi pointed the phone at Su Ming, and the sinister man directly asked, "Are you Su Ming?"

"Who are you?" Su Ming asked back.

"I'm Yu Hua." He sat behind a desk, wearing a high-end suit and a luxury watch on his wrist, but he didn't look like a good person, more like someone who's done a lot of bad things in society.

His attire reminded Su Ming of a saying: "Wearing a dragon robe but not like an emperor!"

"I don't seem to know you." Su Ming added.

"I'm the president of Wendong Group." Yu Hua didn't hide anything.

"So it's you who repeatedly tried to kill me!" Su Ming was furious!

"Don't wrong me, I didn't do anything." Yu Hua immediately denied it.

Su Ming thought for a moment and said, "I just spoke with Lao Qiweng a while ago. He agreed to my reconciliation with Lao Qiming, and said we shouldn't trouble each other again. If you don't believe me, ask Lao Qiweng."

Su Ming said that to test if this Yu Hua knew the whole story.

"Of course, I know about it." Yu Hua smiled faintly.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming's heart sank!

Since he knew about the reconciliation, yet still kidnapped the proprietress, it was clear he did it all behind Lao Qiweng's back!

However, Su Ming remained calm on the surface and said, "Since Director Yu knows about the reconciliation, let the proprietress go!"

"You're very beautiful!" Yu Hua said with a faint smile, "Don't think too beautifully."

"Do you dare to defy the chairman's order?" Su Ming asked back.

"You hit Qiming and opposed him multiple times. I must stand up for Qiming. In my heart, Qiming is like my own brother." Yu Hua said loudly.

Su Ming said nothing, thinking of a countermeasure!

Yu Hua shouted, "Kneel for me immediately!"

Su Ming gritted his teeth and said word by word, "My grudges with Lao Qiming have nothing to do with the proprietress. Release her first!"
