Tang Xinwan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar upon hearing the kidnappers' words.
If she were in Yangzhou, she believed Ye Cangtian would find a way to locate her and come to her rescue.
Although she had driven him away due to some misunderstanding before, she was certain Ye Cangtian would come to save her if she were in danger.
But now that she was no longer in Yangzhou, could Ye Cangtian still find her?
Little did Tang Xinwan know, Ye Cangtian had already arrived in Suzhou and Hangzhou ahead of time, and was working with the local underworld forces to search for her everywhere.
Soon.
To prevent her from escaping or calling for help.
The kidnappers tied up Tang Xinwan's hands and feet, stuffed cloth into her mouth, and then these men idled their time playing cards in the empty repair shop.
They were waiting for a call!
The employer had instructed them to kidnap Tang Xinwan and bring her to Suzhou and Hangzhou, where someone would meet them for the handover and pay the remaining hefty balance.
"Brothers, after we get this money, how should we spend it?" one person asked, holding a hand of cards.
"A bomb!"
Another person threw down four Aces, then happily said, "Of course, we'll go have fun in Macau. I've never experienced the life of the rich before!"
"As for me, I want to play with women. I'll summon ten or eight girls and play with them until dawn!"
"You'll die on the belly of a woman your whole life. You're all useless!"
The bald middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh and curse, then threw down the two Kings in his hand, followed by a 3, and said, "After this money comes in, we'll buy equipment, then move to a big city, and do a few more big jobs. This is called growing bigger and stronger, understand?"
The other three immediately smiled, their faces filled with anticipation for the future.
The second brother suddenly asked, "Boss, although we have to hand this girl over, can we brothers… have a taste of her…"
The other two's eyes lit up, and they looked at Tang Xinwan, who was being held captive. Her graceful figure and beautiful face were simply stunning.
"Yeah, boss, this girl is as beautiful as a celestial being. Compared to those streetwalkers, she must be very delightful."
"Do you think I don't want to?"
The bald middle-aged man couldn't help but swallow hard, then shook his head. "However, since the employer wants her, they must be after her beauty. If we touch her, I'm afraid we won't get that money!"
"That's a real shame! Such a beautiful girl, to be able to look but not touch, it's agonizing!"
"But, five million and sleeping with her once, what would you choose?"
"…"
This was quite frustrating. Not only were the three subordinates regretful and disappointed, but even the bald middle-aged man took a hard drag from his cigarette.
Just then, an old-fashioned Nokia ringtone sounded.
The bald middle-aged man picked up the phone, glanced at it, and then hissed, "Keep it down, it's the employer's call."
A moment later!
The bald middle-aged man hung up the phone and let out a long sigh. He then said, "Brothers, the employer told us to kill her! The remaining balance will be transferred to our account within half an hour!"
"Why would the employer suddenly tell us to kill her?"
"Why worry about so much? Isn't it just killing? We're not new to this! And besides…"
As the second brother said this, he cast a lecherous glance at Tang Xinwan not far away and chuckled, "Boss, can we touch her now?"
The bald middle-aged man laughed heartily, "Naturally. Such a beautiful woman, to kill her directly like this would be a waste of resources, wouldn't it?"
Not far away!
Tang Xinwan, tied to a machine tool pillar, turned pale, her body trembling slightly.
She could clearly hear the four men's conversation.
She would rather be killed than be defiled by these men!
So, Tang Xinwan struggled violently, making muffled sounds in her mouth. She was bound all over and her mouth was stuffed with cloth. Not only could she not resist, but she couldn't even bite her tongue to commit suicide.
Seeing the four kidnappers stand up and walk towards her step by step, she struggled frantically, shaking her head.
However, the four men, with lecherous smiles, showed no pity. Seeing her struggle and cry only made them feel more excited.
Just as the bald middle-aged leader reached out his hand.
"If you dare to take another step forward, I'll chop off your hand and feed it to the dogs, believe it or not?"
A sudden voice!
The four of them looked back simultaneously, their expressions changing slightly. The bald middle-aged man frowned and shouted, "Who are you? Who let you in?"
Ye Cangtian did not answer. Instead, as if he had been relieved, he looked at Tang Xinwan and grinned, "Wife, did I come in time?"
Tang Xinwan also did not expect him to come. Her face, originally streaked with tears, couldn't help but grit her teeth and say, "If you were a second later, you would be dead!"
In her despair, she had been thinking that this guy probably wouldn't make it to save her. She had even thought that if she hadn't resolutely driven him away, she might not have faced such a predicament.
Seeing him appear now, she instantly recovered from despair because Tang Xinwan had enough confidence in him.
Hearing the two speak, the four kidnappers understood immediately that this person was here to rescue her.
So the bald middle-aged man's face turned fierce, and he spat on the ground.
"Kill him!"
The four of them simultaneously picked up sharpened knives from the ground and hacked towards Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian's smiling face instantly turned grim. It was these four men who had kidnapped his woman. Moreover, if he hadn't arrived in time, what would have happened next would have been even more unbearable for him.
In an instant, Ye Cangtian met them head-on.
Then, after a round of screams, all four kidnappers lay on the ground in pain.
Ye Cangtian came before Tang Xinwan, untying her ropes as he asked, "Are you alright?"
Tang Xinwan turned her face away, not wanting him to see her tear-streaked face, and retorted petulantly, "None of your business!"
Ye Cangtian did not tease her but said with unprecedented seriousness, "Don't worry, I will never let anyone hurt you again!"
Tang Xinwan was stunned by his words and was about to say something.
But then, they heard rapid footsteps approaching from outside, and soon Liu Zhendong and others arrived.
It wasn't that they were too slow, but rather that Ye Cangtian's speed was too great for them to keep up. By the time they arrived, Ye Cangtian had already subdued the four men.
Soon, after the four kidnappers were beaten again, they were restrained.
Liu Zhendong said, "Mr. Ye, these four fellows don't know anything. They just received a call from an employer, took some deposit, and kidnapped Miss Tang."
