When Shen Keqin woke up again, she found herself tied up.
She felt dizzy, weak, and nauseous.
Looking at the narrow, airless room, she felt fear and panic, her mind involuntarily flashing back to the kidnapping incident when she was twelve.
"Mmm..."
Suddenly, a pained sound came from behind her. She whipped her head around to see Han Yunuo.
Han Yunuo had also woken up and, realizing they had both been kidnapped, glared at Shen Keqin and cried, "Shen Keqin, what kind of karma did I accumulate in my past life to end up encountering you in this one?"
Shen Keqin's face instantly darkened. "What do you mean?"
Han Yunuo cried even harder, feeling incredibly unlucky. "What do I mean? Twelve years ago, I was kidnapped because of you, and today I'm kidnapped because of you again. Your fifth brother is still causing trouble for my family, boohoo... it's so unfair!"
Shen Keqin had no idea who had kidnapped them, and she felt like crying too.
"Shut up. What's the point of crying? If you hadn't falsely accused me of dating early and followed me to find evidence to report me twelve years ago, would you have been kidnapped?"
Han Yunuo: "..."
"And my fifth brother dealing with your family is all because you courted disaster by drugging me first."
Han Yunuo was speechless.
Seeing that Shen Keqin wasn't crying hysterically or screaming in this situation, she didn't want to be looked down upon by Shen Keqin and stopped crying.
"Then what do you think we should do now?"
"They haven't gagged us. You bite through the ropes on my hands first, and then I'll help you untie yours."
Han Yunuo immediately refused, "Why isn't it you biting through my ropes first?"
Shen Keqin gave a sinister laugh. "Miss Han, don't forget that you're the one who needs me right now."
Han Yunuo cursed under her breath. With both their hands and feet tied, she reluctantly crawled towards Shen Keqin like a snail.
She lowered her head to bite the rope binding Shen Keqin. The first bite made her gag and spit. "Peh, peh, peh, what kind of taste is this rope, it's disgusting."
Shen Keqin urged her on while looking outside. "It tastes like rope, what else would it taste like? Hurry up a little."
Han Yunuo was furious. Damn it, every time she went against Shen Keqin, she ended up suffering the consequences.
After they got out of this, she never wanted to see this woman again.
Han Yunuo gnawed for a long time, her teeth and mouth aching, but the rope was still not untied.
"Who's there?"
"Inside."
Hearing footsteps and conversations outside, Shen Keqin's expression changed slightly. "Hey, someone's coming."
Han Yunuo immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.
The next second, the door was pushed open, and two men in black hoodies, hats, and masks walked in.
Seeing Shen Keqin awake while Han Yunuo was still unconscious, the leader of the men walked up to Shen Keqin with a smile. He reached out to touch Shen Keqin's face and grinned sinisterly, "Little princess of the Shen family, you are indeed as beautiful as a flower."
Shen Keqin turned her head away from his touch. Although she was terrified, she showed no fear on her face. "What do you want?"
Hearing this, the man laughed heartily. "Haha, as expected of someone from the Shen family, still so calm in this situation. Unlike others who ask who we are and why we kidnapped them, isn't that obvious? Haha..."
Shen Keqin stared at him coldly, saying nothing.
"Miss Shen, rest assured, we only want money. We won't do anything to you."
Shen Keqin breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just about money, then it was manageable.
"Have you contacted my family yet?"
"Naturally. As soon as we get the money, we'll let you go."
At this moment, a subordinate behind the man spoke up, "Brother Dao, you promised to get revenge for me. We can't let that brat off easy."
Han Yunuo, who was faking unconsciousness, inexplicably found the speaker's voice familiar. She racked her brain for a long time before finally remembering.
She suddenly sat up and glared at the man. "You're the escort from the Jinse Club, the one dressed so flashy?"
The man was surprised that Han Yunuo recognized him. He panicked for a few seconds, then thought of something and smiled as he removed his mask.
Although his face was badly beaten, Han Yunuo recognized him instantly.
"It really is you! You colluded with others to kidnap us!"
Shen Keqin had been to the club a few times, but apart from Jian Mubai, she hadn't remembered anyone else's face.
Seeing that Han Yunuo recognized the person in front of her, but didn't seem to be in collusion with him for the kidnapping, she frowned and glanced at Han Yunuo. "You know him?"
Han Yunuo nodded and said angrily, "His name is Xiao Fen. I've called for him a few times before, but I found him too oily and stopped. I never expected this scumbag to be so audacious as to engage in kidnapping and extortion."
Shen Keqin: "..."
A grown man named Xiao Fen, truly as oily as his name suggested.
Xiao Fen, having been recognized, completely dropped his pretense. He walked up to Han Yunuo and tore at her clothes.
Han Yunuo screamed, "Ah..."
Shen Keqin's heart tightened. "What are you doing?"
Xiao Fen's face contorted into a sinister grin. "You only called for me a few times? Miss Han, I think your memory isn't very good. Shall I help you recall what you did to me?"
Han Yunuo's face grew increasingly pale.
"You threw wine in my face, made others tear my clothes, and forced me to hurt myself, all while you held your phone and live-streamed, calling me slutty and cheap."
"You mocked me, played with me on the ground, and burned me with cigarettes. You rich young ladies and masters thought you could treat us as less than human just because you had a bit of money. You never expected to end up like this, did you?"
As he spoke, he pinched Han Yunuo's cheek fiercely, then his hand reached towards Han Yunuo's chest.
Shen Keqin knew Han Yunuo usually played wild, but she hadn't expected her to be so cruel.
It seemed this time, it wasn't her who had implicated Han Yunuo, but Han Yunuo who had implicated her.
Watching the man's hands roam suggestively over her body, Han Yunuo was furious and cursed, "Scumbag, if you dare to touch me, I'll have your fingers chopped off and fed to dogs."
Xiao Fen burst into laughter. "You drugged the Shen family's little princess and angered the CEO of Ding Sheng Group. Your Han family might go bankrupt before tonight is over. Do you still think you're the powerful Miss Han you used to be?"
Han Yunuo's face was filled with disbelief. "You... how do you know?"
"Hmph... don't ask me how I know. You just need to know that if you want to live, you'll have to call your lover."
Han Yunuo looked bewildered. "Wh... what lover?"
"Jian Mubai!"
Han Yunuo: "..."
Han Yunuo glanced at Shen Keqin, her eyes filled with resentment.
Damn it, she never had a good time when she encountered these two people.
"Heh... you've got it wrong. Jian Mubai is Shen Keqin's former bodyguard, not my lover."
